two economic realities in the u.s right
[2]
now
[3]
wall street is surging we got it
[7]
all-time high for the s p the nasdaq
[9]
looking to extend
[10]
those record gains but on main street
[12]
the economy is spiraling
[14]
for us it's it's been a lot of a lot of
[17]
stress it's not getting better it's
[18]
getting worse
[19]
it's not getting better it's not getting
[21]
better it's getting worse
[23]
that is a common statement that you hear
[24]
from many average americans and small
[26]
business owners there
[27]
definitely is a disconnect between
[30]
what's happening in wall street
[31]
and the uh devastation that most people
[34]
are feeling in this country
[35]
and unfortunately there's still no
[37]
agreement in congress
[39]
in regard to the next round of stimulus
[41]
to help pull americans
[43]
out of this financial devastation now uh
[46]
the unemployment rate is still
[48]
incredibly high
[49]
the unemployment rate is at two point at
[51]
10.2 percent specifically and according
[54]
to the labor department
[55]
new applications for unemployment
[57]
benefits which is a rough gauge of
[59]
layoffs
[60]
climbed to 1.11 million from 971
[64]
000 in the prior week so in one week
[66]
more than 1 million americans
[68]
filed for unemployment so the numbers
[71]
unfortunately look like they were
[73]
starting to get a little better
[75]
but last week more people had filed for
[78]
unemployment which
[80]
reversed some of the gains so the early
[82]
peak during the great recession by the
[84]
way just to give you an idea was at
[86]
665 000 people filing for unemployment
[90]
and that can you know give you a good
[91]
comparison of how bad the situation is
[93]
right now
[94]
even compared to the great recession
[97]
so a hundred thousand small businesses
[99]
have closed
[101]
most of the jobs that have come back are
[104]
jobs for people who
[105]
are high earners but low wage jobs
[109]
are still the ones that are impacted the
[111]
most these are people who
[113]
you know couldn't even afford a 400
[116]
emergency let alone
[118]
getting laid off for months and um
[121]
since congress has uh refused to
[124]
negotiate and
[125]
provide some economic relief for
[127]
americans more and more states are
[129]
looking to rely
[130]
on the measly uh you know stimulus that
[134]
donald trump tried to pass through his
[136]
executive order
[136]
so for instance according to the new
[138]
york times 11 states have approved
[141]
have been approved for a federal
[143]
emergency management agency program
[145]
that will give unemployed workers an
[147]
additional 300
[148]
in weekly benefits let me remind you all
[150]
that the more robust unemployment
[152]
benefits previously which have expired
[154]
were 600
[155]
a week acting on an august 8th
[158]
memorandum from president trump the
[160]
federal agency said it had approved
[162]
arizona colorado idaho iowa louisiana
[165]
maryland missouri montana new mexico
[168]
oklahoma and utah for access to three
[171]
weeks just
[172]
three weeks of the additional funds so i
[175]
have more for you jank
[176]
um you know especially when it comes to
[178]
some of the numbers involving the
[179]
wealthy but
[180]
this isn't looking so good so guys
[183]
there's two pieces of really bad news
[185]
that comes
[185]
out of all of this and one is
[189]
about how large corporations
[192]
um are going to do a wholesale takeover
[196]
of this economy
[197]
and how devastating it is to everything
[199]
including
[201]
capitalism and the second is about the
[204]
crash
[204]
and the crash is going to be horrific um
[207]
so
[208]
first i'm going to go to a legendary
[211]
capitalist mohammed el
[212]
aryan he was the ceo of investment
[215]
powerhouse pimco
[216]
there isn't anybody on wall street who
[217]
doesn't respect that guy
[219]
he came out today on and said
[222]
uh on cnbc if you want capitalism to be
[226]
sustained you need to buy
[227]
in from a lot of people you cannot get
[229]
uh buy-in if it's all about large
[231]
corporations
[232]
he says and in his warning we're giving
[235]
all the money the government is giving
[237]
all the money to the large corporations
[240]
and right now in these stimulus bills
[241]
there's nothing for small corporations
[243]
and they're
[244]
devastated so he's he's like if you want
[247]
to protect capitalism
[249]
this is not the right way to do it he
[252]
went on to say
[253]
remember what small businesses do
[254]
they're not just large employers they're
[256]
also the main way to have inclusive
[258]
capitalism
[259]
and an inclusive market-based system uh
[262]
to back up what anna was saying about
[263]
those numbers
[264]
uh 155 000 total business
[268]
closures uh as of august 11th
[272]
and 59 of those are permanent gone
[274]
forever
[275]
just look around your hometown i i went
[277]
out today
[278]
and more uh small businesses were closed
[282]
closures everywhere okay and
[285]
so at the end of the day the stock
[288]
market is still at a record
[289]
what in the world is going on it's
[292]
because the government
[293]
both through the treasury and the
[295]
federal reserve has decided to take
[297]
as much taxpayer money and printed money
[300]
and
[300]
money that doesn't exist and give it
[303]
almost
[304]
all to the largest corporations in the
[306]
world this is
[307]
this is what the new oligarchy looks
[309]
like that's what explains the stock
[311]
market
[312]
in an economy in absolute shambles in
[314]
reality
[315]
they're pumped up with all of this extra
[318]
they literally don't know what to do
[320]
with all the money they're like well we
[321]
got a couple of trillion dollars
[322]
that's why we're in great shape and we
[325]
do anything for it
[326]
and so the the second thing that comes
[328]
out of it guys is
[330]
when that bubble bursts it is going to
[332]
be super ugly
[333]
why is it going to burst and by the way
[334]
i have no idea when it's going to burst
[337]
none they just keep pumping it up and
[339]
pumping it up artificially
[341]
but at the end of the day if you don't
[343]
sell burgers and you don't sell shirts
[344]
and you don't sell any products
[346]
you don't have a real business no matter
[348]
how much money the government gives you
[350]
and we're gonna run out of money and
[351]
those companies are going to collapse
[354]
and so is the stock market and the rest
[355]
of the economy so if you think this is
[357]
bad wait till you
[358]
see that unreal crash that's going to
[360]
happen of course you can't time
[362]
when a crash like that happens but i
[365]
mean the federal reserve is willing to
[368]
you know bail out
[372]
companies like endlessly so i i don't
[375]
know like
[376]
is it gonna crash i mean how how far can
[378]
the federal reserve go
[380]
i don't know what the answer to that
[381]
question is because
[383]
the entire stock market is really built
[385]
on this house of cards
[387]
and if you pay close enough attention
[389]
even these like top investors
[391]
admit that so for instance um you know
[394]
one of the driving factors
[395]
in the stock market doing so well is
[398]
silicon valley and so as the financial
[400]
times reports the five largest stocks in
[402]
the s p 500
[403]
have accounted for a quarter of the
[405]
rally since the crescendo
[407]
of selling in late march raising
[409]
concerns over how sustainable the rally
[411]
really is
[412]
now uh one of these private banking
[416]
experts spoke to the financial times and
[418]
said the following
[419]
technology has been a real driver of the
[421]
market there is some concern
[423]
over valuation in the tech sector
[425]
meaning that they're concerned that the
[427]
tech sector is
[428]
over um is overvalued basically
[432]
um and and look the stock market more
[435]
importantly
[436]
is clearly not a good indicator
[439]
of how the economy is doing for the vast
[441]
majority of people in the country the
[442]
vast majority of the people in the
[443]
country
[444]
are either hanging on by a thread or
[446]
have already lost their jobs and have
[447]
failed to find a new one
[449]
for the last five months it's a disaster
[452]
and so what are the wealthy doing what
[453]
are they doing to you know
[455]
maybe contribute more to society maybe
[458]
find some solutions
[459]
no they're finding ways to try to escape
[461]
it and so there was this
[463]
fascinating piece in cnbc about how the
[465]
rich in manhattan
[467]
have decided to essentially move to the
[469]
hamptons for good
[471]
um and what they're doing is commuting
[474]
to manhattan
[475]
using these private helicopters just so
[478]
they can like you know
[479]
let me just check in with my job here or
[481]
there or check in with the school that
[483]
my kid goes to
[484]
um so the name of the company is blade
[487]
blade the chopper and mobility company
[490]
announced a special
[491]
hamptons commuter pass last week
[493]
offering daily helicopter flights
[495]
between the hamptons
[496]
and new york city for a one-time
[498]
membership
[499]
of 965 dollars customers can get flights
[502]
over
[503]
295 dollars each way typically the
[506]
flights cost 795 dollars so
[508]
what a deal um and blade september
[511]
promotions sold
[512]
out of all 250 spots in less than 24
[515]
hours
[516]
i mentioned that because you know there
[518]
there's like this
[520]
this new um i guess culture of of
[523]
fleeing
[525]
you know densely populated parts of the
[527]
country that are really getting hit hard
[529]
by coronavirus
[531]
and um essentially you know living in
[533]
your
[534]
moat surrounded home not having to worry
[537]
about all the pain and suffering around
[539]
you
[539]
it's pretty incredible so it's
[542]
nearly elysium they're in the air they
[545]
float above us uh and i want you to
[549]
wrap your head around those numbers it's
[552]
295 dollars
[554]
one way so just to commute to work they
[557]
pay six hundred dollars
[558]
without blinking they sold out
[560]
immediately they're like oh i don't
[562]
think i want a deal
[563]
right so they have their mansion in the
[566]
hamptons they helicopter into new york
[568]
for work
[569]
six hundred dollars round trip i look
[572]
the six bucks that it takes to get from
[575]
uh the
[576]
antelope valley in la to downtown is way
[579]
too much
[580]
on the on the train and people can't
[582]
afford it these guys pay
[584]
600 bucks without blinking every single
[586]
day
[587]
to commute in by helicopter so as the
[590]
world is burning around you
[592]
they're they're in hog heaven they
[595]
literally float above us
[597]
and look guys this isn't a screening as
[599]
the rich there's
[600]
of course great rich people good rich
[602]
people terrible rich people they're
[604]
humans just like the rest of us right
[606]
it's the problem is when you have
[608]
government capture
[609]
and it leads to crony capitalism and
[612]
what i call corporatism
[613]
this isn't capitalism this is when large
[616]
corporations
[617]
figure out oh the supreme court made it
[619]
legal we just can't we can
[620]
literally legally bribe all of the
[623]
politicians
[624]
we look at nancy pelosi today she's to
[627]
help the oil industry
[628]
she went against a democratic
[632]
incumbent she's like no no no that's it
[634]
uh my donors tell me what to do i'm
[636]
gonna do it
[637]
of course trump mitch mcconnell uh are
[640]
the kings of that
[641]
so we have a government so corrupted
[643]
they're just
[644]
literally robbing us of all of our
[646]
income our wages and now our small
[648]
businesses and handing everything
[651]
off to the largest corporations that
[653]
