If Congress worked 40 hours a week on laws and got say four weeks of vacation they could get this done. Overturn Citizens United and ban PACs and lobbying.
None of them WANT to do any of that.
Amen. Hopefully we will see that soon.
If Congress actually worked 40 hours a week, they would implement 10 week vacations the VERY next day
That’s it! I am done with left/right, conservative/liberal etc. That is nothing more than manipulation. Get money out of politics. That isn’t just job one, it’s the only job.
EXACTLY!!!
Don’t stop doing your thing Jon. You’re doing the most in illuminating the corruption with Corporate Capitalism.
@@GarrishChristopherRobin777 Yes
If you could bottle an "Essence of Jon" to give .01% of it to every major newscaster and journalist in america the country and perhaps the world would be in a better position than it is right now.
As an Australian its good to see that there are still some functioning braincells left in America.
You guys might not realise it but in a globalised economy these things can have huge effects outside America. As the Donziger-Texaco-Chevron case showed. American companies that are active outside America can run back to American courts if they don't like decisions in other jurisdictions.
Americans Love Freedom.
Republicans Love *Free-Duhhhhhhhhmb!*
@@modemmark421 A couple of hours ago I watched the latest podcast from Mark Blyth and Carrie Nordlund from Brown University's Watson Institute. About 0:90 in he quotes a sociologist Kieran Healy who was discussing the absurdity of the gun debate. ua-cam.com/video/yZVG7CVs8Sc/v-deo.html
I think it sums up the GOP or at least a significant section of the GOP.
_"What we've done...is to institutionalise the ritualistic and regularized murder of children so that we can celebrate an abstract principle which is an absurdist's conception of freedom."_
Love it. We need more professors and less "industry experts" talking about important subjects.
you need both. Like yeah, Gunny knows everything about everything, yet when it comes to doing the actual basic job he makes that shit DRAAAAAAAAG.
*Noam Chomsky has entered the chat*
Industry experts are fine, if they're truly experts. Problem is, too many people that are not experts, scientists etc that push their opinions as fact. Used to be a time in American media where an expert came on to address an issue without the need to have some anti positional person to be on as well in the name of being "fair and balanced". Fact is fact, we don't need an anti fact opinionated person to debate every single thing.
Please... Gotta love them finishing with the argument with professor "Booksie" made about bodily autonomy but acting like a 39 week old fetus that can survive outside the mother has *no same right to self determination*.
When most of the US firmly believes babies that can survive on their own certainly do.
The exact reason each state should decide.
This whole thing that started so well... was finished in total cringe. Sadly.
@@AltruisticWarrior Or the "industry expert" is the same guy they had one yesterday for a different topic. They are just a mouth piece.
Jon sitting through a legal lecture has to be the best of this pod so far. Definitely hope that these guys are invited back more often. I would love to see them go through a bunch of legal theory topics well Jon says what everyone is thinking.
Please..."How do you battle a home court advantage"...
Just laughable these "Constitutional" lawyers have no clue the Federal Government IS NOT in any way a democracy. In fact, no single part of the Federal Government is a democracy.
And it helps to protect me from low logic liberals like these 4. It protects freedom from the "majority".
Long live the Republic... Long live the Anti Federalists and the most important day in human history... December 15, 1791.
Please without the one that constantly talks like she's asking questions. God that's obnoxious.
It is amazing what you can learn when you listen to intelligent conversation between educated and articulate people. This was a wonderful example of what an informative podcast can and should be. No yelling. No grandstanding. It was just people listening to, and responding to, each other. It was compelling.
Corporate news doesn't want that for us. Vapid gossip, sensationalist stories and bimbo newsreaders are what we get.
Well, they all agree with each other so why is this a surprise?
My plan was to listen for a few minutes and ended up mesmerized for the whole podcast.
And it's 1000% better if you get people with opposing views to speak in a civil way
I hear yelling if I listen to far right podcasts. Or Faux News. Lots of yelling.
It's just nice to hear ~normally to conversation.
I spent several decades enforcing civil and administrative cases at EPA: put simply the big problem is corporations 'captured' the federal and state agencies that enforce the laws. Thus criminal cases are almost never brought and the few civil cases that are brought in federal court are slaps on the wrist because the Executive, DOJ and EPA are corporate biased - the dereg agenda. Administrative penalties are small cases, predicted on facts and law that are rarely disputed by the defendant.
In completely agreement. In fact, I was wondering if anyone else felt this way. In all these distractions we seem to have forgotten that Citizen United = The government staring you down and spat in your face saying corporations have more say about how this country should be governed than you. The SEC/IRA/EPA are just completely paralyzed because of the politician-lobby-CEO HR recycling but seems that most Americans are completely paralyzed when threatened with higher prices for gas/eggs/vacay. All the while egg/oil producers are reporting record breaking earning yet some Americans choose to blame Biden. This circular idiocy is how this country is on her knees thanks to GQP's grand plan to keep America stupid. If you disagree, there's google. Self-education isn't hard, Americans or Russian trolls.
Someone I know said he preferred dealing with drug dealers and their lawyers in DEA cases than the maddening corporate lawyers in EPA cases
Isn't that called corruption?
The revolving door. Industry Experts are hired from the watch dog agencies to set policy & "enforce". If they do a good job, they are rehired by the industry a few years later, or if their party loses. Repeat.
The idea of consumer panels, and consumer control could be a cure - see disability rights,Ed Roberts, and Centers fir Independent Living - much better health and disability policy is set by these groups than by insurance companies, hospitals, nursing homes and their state and federal "watch dogs".
That’s sad. I wanted to maybe one day work there
GOP strategy, we’ll make it impossible for you to do your job well and then shame you for not doing your job well. Dealt with that for 23 years working in public education. It’s amazing to me how many of us continue to hang in there, working extra hours and spending our own money on resources for the kids we care about. Any kind of public service is heavily stressful these days. I had to call the IRS, took a couple of days to get through, a very nice young man helped me out. I told him about the long waiting times and asked him about being understaffed, of course they were. I retired a little earlier than I planned just before Covid hit, good luck there.
I AGREE 100 percent. Ex public school teacher here. Tired of the complacent and enabling bullshit that we see every day. It's depressing really.
TWENTY THREE YEARS?! Crikey you do realise you can leave, right? I know your propaganda makes it sounds scary, but outside white iran you will find a MARKEDLY higher standard of living. Personally I would recommend Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, or Iceland. All extremely modern nations with technology that will absolutely blow your mind. A few examples just to give you something to google and whet your apetite : indoor plumbing, 24/7 uninterrupted electricity, decorum, dignity, socially conscious governance, and--- oh this is big for you. WOMEN have HUMAN RIGHTS here. No, honestly, I swear it's true! Imagine having a say in what your uterus is used for, instead of being farmed like an ambulatory sunflower coughing up a baby every year, isn't that amazing?! Then there's healthcare and education at no cost. That's completely normal here, which you'll undoubtedly discover as soon as you damage yourself accidentally and discover the novelty of not having to sell one organ to pay for repairs to another. Humane wages for human workers, another point. Sure we do actually tax companies here, which I'm guessing equates to "RED MENACE" in your media, but I promise it works. Public transport, another pluspoint. Connects literally every village town and city no matter how small, to a europe-wide network. We do have regulations on just about everything to safeguard human safety, animal welfare, and an environmentally conscious mentality, so that might be a bit of a downer for you. Oh and don't bring your guns. I'm serious: if you're the firearm-fellating type, just stay there. You are already in the penal colony for gun-nutters.
This is what kills me about Republicans' mantra of never raising taxes. Like do they not realize that taxes directly impact local community services like the DMV, schools for their kids, libraries, etc? At the very least, taxes need to increase with inflation. And obviously they should increase more to help all the struggling schools and teachers.
@@apollo3340 thats assuming you know 100% where your money is going. But the truth is that's what they want you to think. Really our tax money goes to other causes. Like 40 billion of it going to Ukraine a conflict we have nothing to do with.
@@regional1000 state and local taxes don't go to foreign aid
The interviews with the lawyers are SUPER GOOD! We are definitely in a lot more trouble than I thought based on the minimalist analysis and even lack of analysis you get from the news on these matters. Really liked the deep dive into the destructive magnitude of these disastrous court decisions made by the supreme court. Also glad to see Jon Stewart back. The Daily Show was what got e interested in politics in high school. There have definitely been a few moments since 2016 where I have wondered what Jon Stewart would have to say about disaster A or disaster B.
I love how Jon is covering these super important and consequential cases that seem to be under the public radar..
Our main stream media keeps this stuff under public radar intentionally. Look at the very few entities that own all the media.
When need more independent journalism. My question is how to get independent journalism cast out to the mainstream viewers?
It's under the radar for a reason.
From one Melissa to another.... I came for the Constitutional law, but stayed for the wickedly savage hilarity 💯
Exactly Jon. The fines are a cost of doing business, and they're insufficient to actually deter others from behaving badly.
Yep, I think if companies break law and cause deaths for example then CEO's should face the possibility of jail. And perhaps the biggest investor of that company as well. That should make them pause at letting their companies break laws.
@@SorbusAucubaria but jon's got it wrong with the judges ( and regular jury ) still going to have them but now the SEC is more accurate acting as a prosecutor not a 3-ring big top so i don't feel their understanding the outcome of the case and not having some idea of bureaucrats ( in the ABC aka SEC ) that aren't elected and aren't accountable in some way to the usa 🇺🇸 taxpayers/voter's is dangerous as rite now work's a little like that
BTW if that guy was doing the miss inform/defraud regular middle/lower-class on purpose yah scum bag move and fines/jail time is in order
They usually weasel out of fines, sometimes with vague promises of good behavior, extending the appeals process or declaring bankruptcy. Then posting record profits and billion dollar CEO packages. They have the power and they know it.
The SEC is complicit in the financial crimes of Wall Street.
They MUST be held accountable, or replaced.
Or just shutdown.
@@GarrishChristopherRobin777 take your conspiracy nonsense and Ligma
hilarious
Audit the auditors
Good luck
I'm with Jon. Bring that to jury trial; see good folk hammer these scoundrels flat! It is burden shifting at it's worse; the more these business' gets gov't to clean up it's waste, the more profit. Time for the reinstating of the good corporate citizenship clause in proprietorship. More courts and more Judges will bring mo' justice.
"The electoral college is affirmative action for rural areas" is a talking point that needs to be discussed more.
It's bullshit.
Mother Jones magazine has been trying to warn us about the Federalist Society for a long time. Thank you Strict Scrutiny and Jon and co for another excellent episode. How do we introduce critical thinking skills into our education system?
By getting rid of the Kool aid brigade as teachers
Mother Jones... Ugh
I'm Australian but went to college in America. There's not many institutions that scare me more than the Federalist Society. They have basically become an unelected selection committee for SCOTUS that is hyper pro-corporate and that is an issue far beyond America.
Most Americans don't consider what their corporations do outside America, but the rest of us do because they are active in our countries. As we found out with the Donziger-Texaco/Chevron case if they lose a case outside America they will drag it back to America and in the American courts with Federalist Society Judges NOBODY has a chance.
I know there are Americans very concerned that this "club" that a pack of snobs from Harvard, Yale and U. Chicago created is now totally out of control. Understand there are others around the world who are just as concerned.
To be honest, as someone with experience in foreign systems, American higher learning has an overabundance of people who are great at arguing without knowing absolutely anything. Don’t think you need more critical thinking.
@@liofalba Actually you just described why they do need critical thinking.
The purpose of critical thinking is to understand what you don't understand.
Too many people think the "critical" in critical thinking means to criticise so they think that arguing (in an adversarial context) for the sake of arguing is critical thinking - ITS NOT.
The "critical" in critical thinking means to CRITIQUE as in assess or judge the evidence being discussed (not argued) to reach a conclusion or understanding. It includes considering other viewpoints rather than taking a side and fighting for it.
I'm Australian but went to college in America and too many Americans see everything as a contest to be won. And culturally its one of their major problems.
Great episode. Jon capturing my mood. It feels like the US in on the edge of a cliff. Or rather we have already fallen off the cliff, thought we hit bottom a few times only to find that we’re still falling.
We do have a parachute. Yes?
Something that I feel like is a huge blind spot in how our democracy is built....
I heard my whole life that voting is one of the most important duties of a citizen for democracy. If I want to change the world in any meaningful way, I must vote. Lots of pressure to vote.
I got registered to vote. I went down to the polls. I went to cast my ballot for the president. I was overwhelmed with the number of things I was voting for with absolutely no context. Commissioners, clerks, treasurers, sheriffs, register of deeds, local judges, the list goes on.
It is considered reprehensible to vote based on party alone, but I don't know anybody who has ever felt fully informed about what will be on the ballot, much less have a considered, nuanced opinion for. That's without mentioning the number of unopposed incumbents, and what one is supposed to do if when their party is not represented on a ballot measure.
I understand that the common advice is to be more diligent about researching what it is you are voting for. However the reality is that the amount of information one has to sift through to be fully informed on a ballot is going to be overwhelming for the vast majority of voters whose lifestyle is not primarily political - nurses and mechanics and IT professionals and teachers, who are going to school and raising families and working overtime to pay the bills. The only way to know everything that will be on the ballot is independent research, and then spend time researching who should be the Kansas Commissioner for Insurance. At least with today's society, it is unreasonable to expect even a fraction of your standard voting Americans will be familiar with the instances of problematic rulings from local judges, or what the function of "Intermediate Appellate Court Position #6" is, or that the "opposing" nominee for county clerk is actually rather centrist and way more efficient and/or appropriate for the position.
I'm a transwoman and CNA in Kansas. I want to live in a society that is accepting of who I am and protects me the same as they would anyone else, but I want to contribute by being a CNA, not sinking all my free time into LinkedIn pages trying to find ethical and moral write-ins for local judges seats that will ultimately go to an incumbent. If voting for judges is the answer, I'm willing to do that. It's just when I get to the voting booth and there's several boxes of unopposed incumbent judges and there's been absolutely no conversation on them.... Well, similar to the rules with the SEC, it feels like a situation that is intentionally convoluted and difficult to penetrate. I get more frustrated every time I hear the answer to a problem in society is "VOTE!" because the dysfunction of what goes on behind the ballot curtain is a very real part of the problem.
Perhaps I'm wrong - if you are a regular US voter and you've never voted for a name you had never seen before, let me know down below
You have to understand that this is by design. On a long enough timeline the purpose of any institution is self-perpetuation. Convincing citizens that voting is the ONLY acceptable exercise of a righteous patriotism and fervent democratic zealotry is laughable. This is mostly true for many of the reasons you point out, but it is also true for another important one: There is no way to vote against the interests of the powerful. Our two party system presents us with a false dichotomy that caters to our worst tribal impulses while insulating hegemonic control by corporations. There is no way to vote against the interests of Goldman Sachs, they are undefeated in electoral wins. When both political parties are owned by the same interests, what choice do we really have? So we attempt to to tear each other’s throats out over social issues while power continues to consolidate. We have to bridge this divide and recognize that we’ve been had.
You're right, it takes a lot of research to know who to vote for, and that is why many people just vote a party ticket. Sometimes if I don't know who to vote for, I don't vote for any of them. Sometimes I just vote for the party that is generally closer to me on issues. Libertarians first, then Republicans.
This is by design. Make it impossibly difficult for the average person to find and consume information about who they are being asked to vote for with hopes that they're not going to vote at all or just blindly vote along party lines because it's the path of least resistance.
This is precisely why I love the system we have in Washington State. All our elections are fully mail-in, and we are provided with a voter guide in addition to our ballot that provides information on each candidate and proposition on which we are asked to vote. While the position statements provided aren't always as good as they should be and can be confusing and misleading, we are still able to do our research and place an informed vote should we choose to do so. It is safe and secure(only one ballot gets sent to each voter, and we report if it is not delivered to us so we can get a replacement, making fraud essentially non-existent). Drop boxes are easy to locate and postage is now prepaid also, removing all barriers to voting. I've lived in many states, but nowhere have I found voting as engaging as I do in Washington. I wish that all states would adopt the system we have here, and encourage voters across the country to press your lawmakers to adopt a similar system.
It's ridiculous that we, as a nation, don't have a common set of rules, methods, and laws for voting. It's one of the many things that help perpetuate all the broken things in our democracy.
He absolutely was quoting Lenard Cohen. I was waiting for “the minor fall, the major lift.”
Why does it feel like companies are able to just bribe the SEC through fines. Like say I'm a company, we'll call my company Shitadel, and lets say I make $700B dubiously, and I get a fine of 40M, what kind of ENFORCEMENT is this? REINFORCEMENT
Shitadel writes it off as mayo expense
Because they are. Because the SEC is just outmanned to address crimes properly so they just move it through. Also, it's a better way to make money. They're underfunded so why not just let financial crimes continue and take a cut of each one.
its called a raise for politicians. O, look more money in the pot to squander.
@@bradenhazle4378 so if citadel steals 700billion why doesn't sec fine them 800billion... sec would make a lot of money, and it would actually be a punishment instead of sec just taking a bribe
@@igotzelda That would go to court because they changed the rules which SEC wants to stay out of to reduce spending and get money quickly instead of waiting for the case to be done.
Jon Stewart for President. Someone who would actually help the people.
It sounds good but what we really need are House and Senate Reps like Jon, you have enough sensible power in those seats and they can override the President.
I've felt for a long time that the more I learned, the less capable of experiencing optimism I became.
I looked around and wondered why so many others didn't feel the same way, and felt sort of alone.
Hearing these scholars voice similar concerns that "[No, there really isn't any solution.]" sort of... vindicates(?) my pessimism.
Not a thing I'm particularly glad to be vindicated about.
I hear you
I hope you can understand why Gorge Carlin went dark. After fighting so long so hard yet he couldn't change anything. the reason being the education people that listens to him were already thinker but who needed to hear don't tolerate. Americans should try to have a conversation I know it's hard. but you've to try. we can agree to disagree. just don't give up hope. We've abandoned the hope of idealistic society long ago. can't we've a reasonable one. I am not american. live almost a poor country doesn't have that much money either. But I've seen it's impossible to fight the greed of wealthy and powerful however little act of kindness gesture can truly bring happiness to those who are needy. I could link to you a youtube channel where you can find hope. although it's in bengali however you don't have to understand the language to see the light of hope in their eyes. aren't asking for donation or anything just support humanity in your local surrounding. you'll find the reason to fight or strive. sorry for the long post. if you're interested you can search **Free Motion** on youtube. have good day. bye
The American empire is in decline, and we're fully in the start of the decadence stage right now. The Ottomans, the Chinese towards the end of several dynasties, the Romans, the Greek city states, even 18th century France; all of them ceased being functional because elites started plundering their societies at the expense of the people who actually did the work that needed to be done. The details are a little different, given the enormous changes the Information Age has ushered in, but the dynamics are the same.
Your pessimism is well-founded; I fear for my daughter's future, because I don't think things will get better within either of our lifetimes.
The state of perpetual anxiety and depression is the result of that awareness.
@@aquietwhyme America is not an empire. If you meant America's influence on world events has ebbed a bit, then, yeah. The rah-rah nationalistic pride following WWII was justified then, but now seems ignorant and unbecoming.
Seems like our 3 branches of gov system has been broken. Judicial branch has a lot more power and packing the courts leads to eliminating previous legislation and promoting future legislation. It does not matter what is in the actual consitution if the judges can decide whatever they want. We see that and a riling up of the religious mob that denies observation. I think the goal is to eliminate separation of church and state to create a religious closed minded rigid state.
( wake - up )
The system isn't broken
It's fixed
Calvin Baxter, Hold the phone, bro! Agree the the court is legislating from the bench. Agreed they are as parochial as all get out. Agreed there has been increasing disregard for fidelity to previous rulings (starry decisis). Packing the court is controversial because the Judges all know more judges equates to less power for each Judge. Do you know anyone who wishes to give up control? Me neither. But the case load ignored by the highest court in the land is another breakdown in justice leading to increased strife. Many more Supreme Court Justices would theoretically be able to hear more cases. These are final appeals for many, if the court won't hear them, those plaintiffs go forever unserved. The new rulings will be based on who is more influential to the court. If the big business seems unstoppable, we can impeach all judges who fail the simple test of good behavior in office. Most fail big time. This is precisely why the Right-wing jurists are 'in cahoots'. They all hang together, as opposed to hanging individually. If them we elect are spineless, it isn't the system's fault. Until WE have a spine, we'll have more Jell-O in office and on the bench. Justice means willing to take or give a bloody nose.
And the rich get richer and have more power over legislation. The so called "moral" majority is completely immoral.
Mandatory Retirement after the age of 70, and it should be illegal to choose your replacement. That way you have to live with the rules you implemented.
It's basically conservatives showing us that the 'norms' we all thought were enough and we're respectful of, mean jack shit. They are willing to burn the fucking house down to get what they want. They have doused us with gasoline and are standing there with a lit match sneering at the rest of us.
Thank you Jon & co, I feel a trickle of hope with these discussions.
why? Did you not make it to the end? We are in for "permanent minority rule", as Jon concludes at 46:08. He's right, and not the first to make the statement or conclusion. The Constitution is designed to over-represent rural states and under-represent the people. This is the only democracy in the world that works that way.
It’s very enlightening. But hope is the last thing I get from this.
Really missed you my guy..Shine some light on this fuckery going on…See if you can get Ken Griffin on the show.
That shitsnake will never do a good faith interview.
Jon would Eat Him Alive. ......but then he might get disappeared Putin style.
Don't give Ken griffin any more air time he's just going to cry about how everything is a moment in time and then possibly throw a bed post at someone.
I don't usually curse. I am not good at it...something with my perfect diction...but that word "fuckery" has a certain panache to it..and it would fit nicely on a T-shirt. Thank you.
This channel is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Very nice to watch! I learn a lot and from what I’ve seen the discussions are fair, both sides get to view their opinions. You do not have to agree with someone to listen to a good intelligent debate
It goes back to the stupid ruling that a corporation is a 'person' under the law.
The court created immortal beings that cannot face the judicial punishment a human person has to face.
We need a grassroots movement to repeal Citizens United!
Strict Scrutiny are badass! Society needs more groups like this.
The sec is like a cop pulling another cop over and finding he or she is drunk.
Oh snap.. another brother in blue.
Never mind. Get out of here. No ticket for u.
Seems pretty accurate in the sec. Insider trading happens all the time yet. Nobody goes to jail unless they're the easiest open and shut case.
Glad to see this, we need more exposure to regular people about what the SEC is doing, ticker symbol AMC, GME
Nah, just GME
Yes, thats an actual stock that effects every citizen
AMC to the moon I’d rather buy a game from a crack head on the street then from gamestop
This is one of the rare instances where one solution could solve the root cause of several problems, the dear Founding Fathers neither thought of nor regarded as a problem at all.
Introducing: The Fundamental Rights Amendment!
Freedom of press and freedom of worship were addressed already but two other fundamental rights that any other modern nation has codified into their constitution is shockingly absent in the US Constitution and its amendments:
The right to an adequate standard of living, or in other words: "Human dignity shall be inviolable" (German Basic Law Article 1 sentence 1, a sentence which I am eternally grateful for and which has been massively influenced by F.D. Roosevelt and the then brand new UN)
The right to life and physical as well as mental integrity (from the 2nd article; I added the mental integrity part because I feel like that was overlooked when the German constitution was written. Nowadays we know how much damage mental abuse can bring about)
With such an amendment you would have the undeniable groundwork to argue for consumer protection in every regard (not only a protection from governmental overreach or negligence) as well as a binding limitation to the way gun ownership is dealt with AND an argument for not only women's health regarding abortions but all situations where the life of someone is threatened in their dignity, mental or physical integrity if they don't receive the treatment or protection they need. The effects of this amendment would cost trillions of dollars because they would mean that infrastructure has to be a top priority, that basic health care has to be provided (although not necessarily for free) and the way gun ownership is not supervised has to be changed drastically (for example establishing an infrastructure around background checks, licenses, police certificates and the creation of bottle necks - my proposal: let people buy any non-military grade firearm they want but control the sale of ammunition)
I will never not be shocked by the fact that the nation which helped Germany recover from a horrifying path of (self) destruction and had a great role in drafting the Grundgesetz to this day doesn't constitutionally garantue her own people access to non-poisonous water or grants them meaningful safety.
Capitalism, the god of the evangelicals called the almighty buck.
Thank you for that thoughtful comment. I admire Germany more and more as I learn more about her. I The USA seems to be stuck on stupid. It's depressing really.
One of the problems of the US being one of the oldest democracies (technically it’s more a republic though) is that Americans have a hard time amending the constitution. It’s almost sacrilegious to make changes. There needs to be a change in mentality to see the constitution as a means to an end instead of the end itself. Also Americans disagree fundamentally what that end is.
Just think what Germany had to go through to get to where they are today?
All of Europe was paid the price for Germanys sins. It also gave the US the ability create a false narrative about exceptionalism. It seems Germany benefited more by learning from its past.
At times it maybe better in the long run to lose.
@@robertcammon5969 I would have preferred all this not to happen in the first place, but yeah, best thing we could do was learn and evolve. I would certainly hope that others learn the hard truth about their home countries, too and see that what happened in Germany could have happened anywhere else at the time, and partly already did. As much as we continue to learn about German history it was a huge mistake for the other countries involved on either side to demonise us and shift public attention away from their own problems. Instead of openly admitting that there's a problem that needs to be addressed, you only hear things like "no, there are no Nazis in the UK, France, Scandinavia or the US - only Germans can be Nazis" or "Italy never had a problem with fascism, we ousted Mussolini after he somehow got elected and re-elected until he became dictator, but that wasn't us, we're all the descendants of partisans" and of course "my father/mother/grandparents were all in the resistance".
And Chamberlain's appeasement strategy - although coming from a good place - was not helping either. Just as it doesn't help in the current war in Ukraine that Europe's leaders (and German politicians at the frontline) tried the same with Putin. But where Chamberlain felt it necessary to prevent another war at all costs Schröder and Merkel shouted "Wandel durch Handel" (change through commerce) and thought they could buy Russia's and China's friendship as well as profit from it.
Can we please learn now that you don't suck up to authoritarians, no matter if they're labelled communists, capitalists, fascists or theocrats?
Jon, We The People, We salute you. And your fascinating guests!
Following their podcast now. Thanks for the interview! Learned a lot
Reminds me of a meme -
About how in our society we will deem people after a certain age range to be unemployable. Like you wouldn't let them handle complicated tasks or machinery and yet somehow almost exclusively people of that age range are running the country and writing our laws.
That's not a very healthy meme. Especially with many unable to retire until their 70's these days. This is ageism aka discrimination and just as ignorant as any other form of discrimination I know.
@@jenwendy7 It's not ignorant if it's accurate the majority of the time.
@Nick Hewes no it's just ignorant

So most people don't deserve your genuine respect. You must be fun to be around. They won't change the world. Y'all are about to get destroyed in the midterms, then lose the Presidency without appointing another Justice.

These four should be a weekly show. Call it Educating Jon.
Your show is a wonderful public service. Intelligent, well-spoken guests, relevant topics, delivered in easily digestible segments. Admirable and much needed. Thank you.
This was awesome!!! please keep up these kinds of conversations :)
Great episode!! These ladies were amazing - thank you for laying it out so clearly and I truly appreciate your work! I’ll definitely check out the podcast. 👍 Would look forward to another episode - a part 2, perhaps - to continue this awesome conversation, thanks! 🤯🤔
I love The Problem! Thank you for what you so Jon!!
This has been very enlightening clearing up some things with feeling’s of hope. The best part is not only intelligent well spoken there’s the beautiful too with the needed laughs relief Thank you all
Damn it Jon, missed you! Thank you for coming back!
Like every other considerate, thoughtful, lefty comedian, Jon doesn't want to run for nor hold public office. But I think we need America's intelligent, analytical, comedic minds; comedians need to suck it up, campaign in purple states or smaller local elections, and get elected. Get the power back from the spate of malicious whackjobs.
Also, I'm already looking forward to the next episode featuring these excellent women.
A Ukrainian comedian is showing the world what leadership looks like. I think Jon could do the same, here.
You'll just gladly sit around and wait for an imagined hero won't you. Spineless slaves.
LOL will he run under his real name?

First time I watch one of these, just wanna give a shoutout to Jay and Alexa, those guys were awesome. Also lol @ the Red Leather Yellow Leather podcast joke 🤣
"All of them would represent the end of government as we know it" is something I've been thinking a lot lately.
The US government sold out the American people to oil and weapon companies at the end of World War II.
George Carlin and many others have said, "Germany lost World War II, but Fascism won." What we've known as "government" for our entire lives has been a corporate enterprise since the very moment that industrialized war became standard. It is called the "military-industrial complex." Our entire economy is based on it. Since 1945, the US government has designed and enforced a system that makes and sells more guns and bombs all over the world to secure the supply of petroleum for production and transportation. Every arms deal, Cold War, and Middle East invasion has been about protecting a global power structure that guarantees a constant supply of oil to fuel the world's economy.
By replacing fossil fuels with industrial hemp, the power of production for the world's fuel supply will transfer to the hands of the world's working class instead of being in the hands of dictators and arms dealers.
Watch the 1942 US Department of Agriculture video, *Hemp for Victory.* End Cannabis prohibition, make transportation fuel from industrial hemp, replace fossil fuels, reduce corporate lobbying, and ultimately stop climate change. This 14-minute US government video is the key to changing the world, and that is why it is never talked about, even while there is an official US government link to the video.
There was a bill introduced in the US House of Representatives titled HR 3652, the *Hemp for Victory Act of 2019.*
Anarchists are well represented here on UA-cam and some of them may have a few ideas you'll find helpful. Add terms like "direct action" and "mutual aid" if you want to narrow your search.
The problem with all of that is, _the people_ actually hold the power in a democratic society. If you think getting rid of government is going to solve all our problems, keep in mind that society hasn't done a great job of corralling its common interests to keep the government in check. What do you think happens when you remove the hierarchy of power? I'll bet you whatever you'd like to wager that a large portion will be disinterested and either go with the flow or ignore it altogether; another portion will look for some kind of order and leadership because _they_ don't know what to do; and a small minority will rely on their charm and charisma to guide all those poor lost souls to the promised land.
Before you know it, you've re-invented the barter system, and tokenized favors for easy transferability until you've reinvented money. The group will have coalesced around charismatic leaders until you've re-established the hierarchy, and we'll be right back to divisions of what may as well be the systems we already had before.
It's human nature. You can't rip out all the existing systems and replace them with new ones and expect it to work any better. The only way forward is a continual process of tweaking the variables and plugging the holes. That's the way it has always been, and the way it'll always be.
@@nickwallette6201 _The problem with all of that is, the people actually hold the power in a democratic society._
*In theory,* yes. But the "democratic" society we're in was founded to bolster the welfare and consensus of only men of European (mostly British) descent, and the overwhelming beneficiaries of the resulting establishment have been less than subtle in defending their position as _those who make the rules and those for whom the rules work._
If you really look at the current situation in the US, with a SCOTUS that shrugs at egregious gerrymandering to disenfranchise entire communities, and still see a democratic society in which the people hold _any_ power... you need to wake up.
@@VeganAtheistWeirdo No, I don't need to "wake up." I see two branching scenarios from that synopsis.
On one hand, sure, let's dismantle the whole system. Well, again, the people who stood by and let all of that happen are still the same people. The people who think there's some kind of justice in their entitlement are still there, still thinking they own the place. What now? All you've done is broken down the framework that kept all the casually-invested people on their track. Do you think suddenly everyone will want to contribute, equally, and share the fruits of those contributions, equally? What, in all you've seen of mankind, leads you to believe _that_ is a likely outcome? Or do you just believe that we're all better off alone? All 7 billion of us. There's room enough for everybody, right?
Then there's the other path. I think we've diagnosed quite a few of the failings that allowed things to get to where they are. There are too many too comfortable with the status quo, while a sizable portion of the population goes without.
Well, I'm a beneficiary of the status quo, and while I don't feel like I've got any particular power, I do feel like I've probably benefited from privilege that I didn't ask for. It's my demographic that is the agent of change -- people, like me, that see things are kinda %#$@ed up, and don't think it's in anyone's best interest for things to keep going that way, despite the evidence that, perhaps, things continuing along this path could stack the deck in my favor. It's a superficial advantage at best, in the long term, and I want no part in continuing that legacy. I'm not going to vote someone into office that is going to gerrymander neighborhoods in hopes of diluting the minority vote. I'm not going to stand for someone putting in unnecessary roadblocks to keep someone else from using their voice. I _am_ going listen to what real conservatives have to say and try to find some middle ground, so they have an alternative to the far-right mafia that the Republican party has become. I'm one person, and I'm not going to fix this myself, though.
It's an imperfect system, but the only thing it takes is for people who give a crap to push the token toward it being a _more perfect_ system, and being vigilant enough to call foul when things look to be veering off the rails. You don't just throw in the towel and expect human nature to change. You get in there and use what meager power you've got to contribute to the sum total.
I *do* believe it's a democracy, because you can see those who want to take advantage of the status quo get emboldened when they feel their base is behind them. So, that begs the question: What if their base _isn't_ behind them?
I never thought I'd see half my family, who are conservative, turn against the party. But they did. It isn't over yet.
Thank you so much Jon!! Please keep this important content going!
Jon and team, your continued support is making a difference. Please stay on this topic as long as you see fit.
That is a fact
That was depressingly awesome! What a great panel of guests. These people need to be at the forefront of mainstream argument / discussion on these issues. Thanks...
This makes total sense why Gary gave an interview yesterday saying they are going to recommend some changes which will never happen but wanna look like they are doing something
Jon and everyone, thank you all for this! Make this known!
Keep this conversation going. SO GOOD
John! This conversation enforces a theory that I’ve been forming lately (though I’m sure it’s not an original thought).
The world is told that the Republican Party is the freedom party while the Democratic Party wants to rule your life. I suggest this is not the case.
It is my belief that Liberal policy and agenda is about setting out guidelines for what you CAN do, while conservative policy and agenda is about what you MUST NOT do. “You cannot immigrate here” “you cannot have an abortion” “you cannot tax me” “you cannot tell me to take a vaccine” VS “If you’re buying a gun, do this” “If you want this, pay that” “if you want to go out, ware this mask and take this vaccine”
The idea that freedoms you have must be protected at all costs, prohibits sacrificing to gain freedoms you do not yet have.
I was once sitting with a friend when I got a call from a mechanic who was working on my car. The mechanic suggested some maintenance along with the repairs, which I approved. My friend was taken aback “why would you send money on that, you didn’t need to?” My response was to compare my vehicles running costs to theirs. While they had spent almost nothing in maintenance, the repairs nearly cost them everything…
I say let the oligarchs have their jury trials. I don't think they realize what they're getting into if they want to try to convince 12 working class people that their fraud, netting them millions of dollars in profit, should just be fined for a fraction of that.
28:17 Yep he said just what I was thinking.
The problem is that juries only hear cases that prosecutors bring. If the SEC brings a case under an SEC violation, the jury can't turn around and decide the defendant committed criminal fraud and should go to jail - they only decide on the claim raised.
The actual impact of this would be a sharp reduction in actions brought. Federal agencies are reticent to bring cases to trial given the uncertainty and expense of the process. If every case is forced to be either jury or nothing, alot of the time they will choose nothing - especially with how underfunded they are.
Genius idea. Except there's a reason why regulatory agencies have emerged over the past hundred years, in place of tort law and jury trials. And the reason is, practically no ordinary people have the resources to pursue tort claims against mega corporations for decades after the damage has already been done to them, and seek judicial remedies against those companies.
@@akashkashyap1106 It doesn't help that for some reason which baffles my mind (coming from the british system) the US says that everyone has to pay their own lawyers.
I'm sorry, but if someone gets sued because they are violating regulations and loses, they should be paying the SEC's legal bills on top.
If a jury trial found against them, it would be appealed and overturned!
Just . . . wow. So appreciate the coverage of this/these issues and implications down the road. Much appreciation for the intelligence of all parties discussing this, and gratitude for the inclusion of clever humor to break the tension from the seriousness and bleakness of these current (and potentially future) circumstances.
I, too, remain optimistic in the face of all this. Putting my faith in the greater power of people's sense of justice and concern for fellow human over greed, hubris and callousness. May the light in people's hearts find the light of day to overcome current currents that seek to dishonor the the ideals of our democracy
Great podcast. Jon, you find the best people to interview. Keep it up and Thank you.
Thank you for transmitting reality!
I would love to hear this group discuss the state of Election Law. Are we yet at the point where a side can 'cheat' openly, and win, and keep the office? And have it all be Nice and Legal? Seems to me we are going that way since McD v Va.
The SEC used to have power to regulate Wall Street. Over decades, both parties have stripped their power and budget. Starting with Reagan, the decline accelerated and Wall Street systematically de-fanged the SEC. Instead, there's a revolving door between SEC and investment banking industry. I used to work in investment baking world building compliance software. What I learned made me realize the system is completely gamed against regular investors.
Fantastic. I'm subbing to Strict Scrutiny as I write. Thanks for this!
Regulatory boards are usually staffed by industry insiders who enforce the regulations in favor of their industries against the citizens they are mandated to protect.
Just . . . wow. So appreciate the coverage of this/these issues and implications down the road. Much appreciation for the intelligence of all parties discussing this, and gratitude for the inclusion of clever humor to break the tension from the seriousness and bleakness of these current (and potentially future) circumstances.
I, too, remain optimistic in the face of all this. I am putting my faith in the greater power of people's sense of justice and concern for fellow humans over the greed, hubris and callousness these trends represent. I understand the tension of supporting the one and the all, but I am of the opinion that supporting each does not have to come at the expense of the other. It "simply" takes high levels of intelligence and wisdom to see that way, and we seem to be lacking in one or the other among those in the greatest positions of power in the U.S.
Nevertheless, may the wisdom of the heart find the light of day to enable us to live according to the ideals of our democracy.
Thank you for your optimism, #SJmystic ~ let it be so!
I am utterly positive about you, Jon Stewart, about doing something very positive and important within the current political landscape through the fact that you are financially protected from any demise and so that you use your lever for the common good. Kudo
I enjoyed the conversation immensely. I hope they continue.
1:00 Thank you Jon for calling this out. Yeah, Gary's job is not to deliver. He was groomed and placed there, because he was a former Citadel employee, yes, yes... that's right, worked for the same Ken Griffin that committed perjury in front of the house committee last year, yes that Citadel. We know this btw from the Robinhood lawsuit that he and all of Robinhood lied under oath. Here's something real juicy too. So Gary supported the repeal of Glass-Steagall along with Bill Clinton, paving the way to allow banks to dip into everyone's retirement and life savings and gamble with that money. This was put in place by FDR as one of the reforms to prevent the Great depression from happing again.
Would be a shame if it was all lost in a extremely overvalued car, home and stock market, while interest rates abnormally low, at the great benefit to shorting hedge funds and their cellar boxing scam (see BCG Group). Of course, that also means that because inflation is out of control and interest rates are so low, there is no money in savings accounts, and instead has inflated cars, homes and the stock market into bubbles, all on margin/debt the likes of which we have never seen. We should have crashed a few years before the pandemic even happened, let that sink in (google "S&P 500 margin balance Superstonk") . Ohh and inflation is out of control because the private federal reserve printed 80 percent of the money in the past two years, and the only solution to inflation is increasing interest rates, however the car, house and stock bubbles and the short hedge funds are all dependent on interest rates being low in order to not collapse. What a predicament we are in, a dammed if you do, dammed if you don't scenario. We need to increase interest rates in order to get inflation under control and force people to save, but doing so will burst all the bubbles.
Ask yourself this one question, how did BTC and ETH skyrocket so fast over these short few years btw???? while it's a bad investment short term (see Michael Burry) due to the need for liquidity during this crash, in the long term it will come back stronger (see Cathie Wood) and I believe her, because of this simple realization. They don't print BTC or ETH... but they keep printing money all over the world and then they redistribute it to all their corrupt crony friends, this does two things. It devalues the money and then other money like BTC and ETH become more valuable as time goes on (except in moments where liquidity is needed). The other thing is this enables powerful monopolies to stay on top, and it's like walking into every single bank and bank account and stealing from every single working person and they never even have to walk into the bank. They just print more money, who cares the value of it, if you can just print more of it. This stifles innovation and competition and of course all that corruption money flows into politics and the media. Nothing is delivered anymore excepted hate and blame and excuses, this is why you have hate based politics. Because you need a distraction on what has become the 24/7 "news" cycle.
Buy, Hold, DRS.
I disagree on crypto; it's a shill game. Other than that, you're spot on.
@@aquietwhyme That's fine to disagree with me on that, I don't know which aspect you disagree on. I would never tell anyone to buy something especially for my own gain. My next plays are going to be essential companies, and I will put some money into BTC and ETH yes, but I am more interested in innovations in Cyptos and NFTs. Simply because, of this reason. we used to put a lot of money into the distribution of Stock Certificates and security within those certificates, however, we have transitioned to a digital model, you cannot get a Stock Certificate that actually is proof of ownership, instead it's kept by either the DTCC or Registered with Computershare. Innovation is going to happen sooner or later and I believe that we are at the turning point for that. Wall Street and Bay street and the USD and CAN and all the other printed currencies are deeply corrupt, and I am betting on being in on the next step in the evolution of trading. I bet they are missing the boat and the horse is out of the barn and they don't even realize it. For better or for worse
I am not interest in Apes and other pixel art, no more than I would be interested in a cigarette company or an Oil Company. Those are not bets that I am interested in but what I am interested in is innovation, and also, I want to build a foundation on some blue chip stocks that are depression proof. So that is how I do my bets, I am not providing any financial advice and I would never tell you to buy anything that I am buying.
I understand peoples frustration with all the crypto scams and its a fresh hell, and I hate how it's giving a bad name to real innovation, it's the wild west, now I also don't like the deeply corrupt Wall/Bay Street and the Central banks printing all the money, so you have a deeply corrupt and deregulated insiders market and infrastructure to funnel wealth through a corrupted government to ensure that bad leadership stays on top. So that is the devil we know. The only way I figure I can make money is to operate within this corrupt casino and learn how to be the best blackjack player, because working 8-5 on a slot machine with they feed me crumbs never worked for me. Now I may not like playing black jack, I may not like the house, or any of that... but I know one thing, I am smart enough to realize that I am getting no where playing the worst games in the house, Keno or the slots. So I have to master the only skill based game in the house. Black Jack, whether I like it, or I hate it. It doesn't much matter.
So I am investing safe on one hand and then gambling on big winners on the other, and hopefully I can pick winners that are going to be the shape of the future of trading. If that all makes sense.
Don't want to buy what I want to buy, that is perfectly fine with me. Just don't give up on saving and investing, I am interested in holding ... veeeeerrrrryyyy loooonnnnggg term.
@@aquietwhyme Search on UA-cam for "1971 the year humanity become enslaved" It was the last piece of the puzzle I needed.
Do not accept anything the leaders in power say anymore, they are only the leaders not through their success anymore, but only through their corruption. It brings us all down, they use whatever means they can to divide us but sooner or later it's gonna slip through their fingers, and when smarter people are finally given a chance, we will go way further then they ever could.

Something that comes to mind - if administrative judges no longer have authority (oversimplifying!), every social security, veterans affairs, IRS or other such cases would need the option of civil jury trial. That's a heck of a can of worms.
And the courts are already backed up because of COVID19, a overload of insurrectionists, and other cases.
@@elaineburnett5230 Exactly what you said - plus, many counties with quickly growing populations have an "insufficient" number of judges; it could be said that America has a shortage of people with good... judgement. :)

This is how podcasts SHOULD occur. Intelligent questions and informed discussion. (was gonna subscribe, and noticed I had. Good on me)
And questions popped up. If a case in law is judged, how much of its consequences should or shouldn't affect the decision? And how often DOES that occur?

I really enjoy these because the questions that Jon asks, I think, are extremely important questions and they really dig at the heart of the issue, and thats not always easy to do... at least not for the people I know and certainly not for me, I can do it sometimes but in such a complex issue with so much to navigate he asks excellent questions and these three ladies are all astoundingly amazing at answering these questions, most of the time in a way that a layman like myself can understand
Very sobering and depressing but something we need to know about and to fight. Thank you Jon and to the Strict Scrutiny Podcast.
Great talking. A real eye opener re designated admin bodies charged with overseeing illegal activities. Talk about turning back the clock is an understatement.
Because I grew up in a world fearful of pregnancy, I always considered a hysterectomy. Young women may feel they need to take drastic preemptive action. It's all downhill, ain't it. Americans have got to vote out the dead wood ASAP.
doctors refuse to give hysterectomies to child-bearing aged women. I know one who was even married with kids and had to get a signed statement from her husband stating he didn't want any more kids before she was allowed to get her own womb removed. I know others who have been to 6+ doctors, all refuse. "But what if you change your mind, you are young" is the patronising attitude.
@@notme9784 I live in the UK. I am not saying it's easy to get one but a request will be considered here. I used to have awful pmt and very painful periods, so had womb issues. In the USA women, poor women are under the cosh of millenia of patriarchy. If Supreme court rules to end presidence of wade v roe, poor women will have lost autonomy over their bodies, and themselves, not that you need me to tell Americans that. Men will do nothing to help women on this issue. Look to what they do about rape. Yeh I see that tumble weed too.
the problem is its ALLdeadwood.
@@bobf5360 Could not agree more; except for Katie Porter - she ticks my box
@@notme9784 it’s not particularly patronizing; the data show that regret rates for surgical sterilization in the US are incredibly high overall (like almost 30%), and the rates among young, childless women are of course the highest of all.
ACOG specifically recommends that for childless women and/or women under 30 you should counsel the patient extensively before offering them permanent sterilization, which amounts to “push back on the patient a lot to make sure they REALLY want what they’re asking for.” Again, the data show that even at current rates, *too many* women are being offered surgical sterilization that they will regret.
I also notice that accounts like these are always suspicious. You may really know someone who is married with children and nonetheless required extraordinary “proof” that she wanted surgical sterilization. But it’s a bit hard to believe that you or anyone else with similarly garbled anecdotes is telling the story correctly when they’re ignorant of basic relevant facts, such as that the procedure in question is tubal ligation, not hysterectomy. And tubal ligation is offered as a matter of course to almost every woman undergoing a c-section in the US (with scheduled c-section now being extremely common); it’s elective tubal ligation as a separate procedure that elicits pushback…again because the data support exactly that practice.
Great job as alway's. Keep the truth alive for humanity and the planet and to wake up the masses. ❤ ❤ ❤ 💚 💚 💚

I'm glad you mentioned the abortion vs. vaccination concept. Because I'm really not so much into the "body autonomy" defense. I have zero problem with forcing everybody to be vaccinated, but not blocking women from having abortions. The difference is the context and the effects on society. I don't think "body autonomy" is necessarily a be-all/end-all defense.
You need to elaborate more. It sounds like you're okay with you, a complete stranger, telling a woman and doctor weekday to do with that woman's body. Are you advocating for that insanity?
@@OneAdam12Adam, I understood the comment as understanding why it was necessary to force people to be vaccinated but not forcing women to give birth… and if that is the correct interpretation of that comment I think it’s because vaccination address is a public health issue caused by a respiratory virus; but the fact that a woman is pregnant and meet used and her pregnancy is nobody’s business as it doesn’t affect the health of other people.
@@OneAdam12Adam This is how I feel: The best thing for our society is to allow women to have abortions. The best thing for our society would ALSO be to force everyone to be vaccinated. Thus I don't necessarily support body autonomy, I think each individual situation has to be evaluated separately. To put it another way, I think women should be allowed to have abortions so that we don't have a bunch of unwanted children being born and women dying unnecessarily. Not specifically because of "body autonomy".
Thank you Jon for what you do for the people.

I hope Jon would not stop doing these.
Will not would, your grammar is atrocious.
I like how Strict Scrutiny starts the collab with Jon by complaining about having to listen to white guys talk about things. What a fucking time to be alive.
All of culture is a pendulum swing. The trend of taking pot-shots at white males isn't something I'm particularly fond of -- not so much for being technically in that class, but rather that all we're doing is taking insensitivity toward gender and race and class and pointing it in a different direction. Discrimination is discrimination, and it's not OK regardless who the target du-jour is at any moment.
Society has entertained a certain degree of this because, well, frankly, the rich white male has been in a position of privilege for a while, and some ire is absolutely deserved. But, this can't just continue indefinitely. It's destructive, and progress cannot be made by tearing at each other.
Totally Spies went to law school and I am here for it
Hearing Mr. Stewart talk is refreshing in the mediascape. Humanely oriented. No hate. . He doesn't have to think about how he comes across. What a decent human looks like.
The answer to every “but why is this conservative idea not consistent with this other one?” Is really simple:
The only conservative principle they actually hold is “rules for thee but not for me”
Change “conservative” to “government officials” and you are right…no difference between the RNC and DNC..just one big club and your not in it. Divide and distract is the name of the game
