"Day. Hang on. Hold on. Did you lose him? No, I got it. He's a small, he's either a dead misplaced. Robert Reich actually was the first one that said by 2028 millennials and Gen Z will dominate U.S. elections. This is why the GOP is pulling out all the stops to entrench their power. They know they don't stand a chance against a multi rate multiracial progressive generation of young people that will make their backward ideas irrelevant. Palmer report said, yes, by all means Republicans keep talking openly about how people under 21 shouldn't be allowed to vote. Keep saying it, be sure to say it very loudly. You can't actually do it, but your empty threats will motivate even more people under 21 to vote democratic going forward. You turn out, I mean, just in a lot of places. Yeah. I saw a lot of that talked about the under 21 vote, and there's no Republicans do, like, oh, they got to find a way to stop them from voting now. Where is that coming from? Because there's no news story anywhere of any Republicans saying that. So we need to Twitter calm down a little bit. Right. Because that's not a news story. They're not saying. Well, right, but I mean, obviously, the youth vote was really determinative. And I mean, they've already done that in places where let's take all the polling locations out of when you're a university. Right. And let's make sure you can't use a student. That's how they already know they're losing the demographic and generational battle. Sarah seidner of CNN on Tuesday was at Arizona state. She was at Arizona state university at a polling place. And I'm like, the line was really long, and really proud of ASU, but when did they get a polling place on campus? When I voted there, we had to go to a park. Campus. Oh, where's your nostalgia music You had to vote for Ross Perot. In my day to the world that was the dare you. That was ruining America. That was when I voted for Ross. I made a walk 40

"By the way, Republicans monetize lies. It's a problem. That's one thing we do make in America. When Alan Greenspan was the feds here, he used to do this green speak. But every now and then he was clearly and somebody asked him one day when he was jacking up prices for Bill Clinton. He said he was going to do a pause. And the reason why he said we're going to do the pause is because when you do a fed rate hike for several of them, that actually induces inflation into the system because the people who are going out and taking the loans out, the cost of money keeps rising on them. They didn't pass those costs on to their customers. And it shows up in the form of inflation. So you have to do a little pause when you're doing rate hikes to see if where the real increase in level is. And then if you can see that it's still rising without the fed rate hike, then you go back to doing your increases again. And I actually went back and looked at the history of that and it turns out that with Ellen Griffin said, it's true. Raising the fed rate does induce inflation into the economy. And so he got pardoned. It makes sense. Every country, every company in America that has debt is going to have to pay more for their debt. And that's a business expense. So they're going to many of them are going to raise their prices to cover that increased increased cost of service. Right, until they can't do it anymore. And then that's when the rate hikes actually start working because now you can't go out and because the business will stop taking out the loan because the people stop product and you get that price, what are they calling it? Resistance. And then that lowers the inflation rate. And Alan Greenspan, after he said that, it's kind of funny, but it's not. So after he did that, towards the end of the Bill Clinton's stay in The White House. I think Greenspan predicted that inflation was just around the corner. And then he started jacking up the fed rate. And guess what? Inflation. Invasive went up a little bit. Just like he told us it would do if you projecting it up. And that's what he did. And then after George W. Bush came into office, he stopped the hike and started lowering it and guess what happened to inflation? It went down. It went down. Greenspan was also pretty upfront about what his religion was. I opened my book screwed, you know, it was published back in 2005 with a quote from Alan Greenspan that was published in The Wall Street Journal in 1997. He did an interview with The Wall Street Journal, and they asked him, you know, what do you think is one of the, what are the things that has a fed share your obligated to do? And he said that one of the most important functions of his job as fed chair was to and I'm quoting us from memory, and it's a 15 year old memory, but I'm damn sure I'm word for word correct. Is to quote maintain a certain, necessary, minimum level of worker insecurity. In other words, when unemployment starts going down, that's a bad thing. That will produce inflation and you've got to make workers frightened. And this is something Robert Reich talked about just a couple of days ago and his newsletter over his substack newsletter over a robbery dot sub stock dot com is how in the minutes of the last fed meeting, there was not one single mention of corporate profits, even though corporate profits are the principal driver of this inflation right now. And there were a couple of dozen mentions of wages and labor and things like that. And so what is this fair to your doing right now? Without a pause to jacking the fed rate of this in a very jagged way, what happens with our pets here is they're very, very careless when it comes to raising the fed rate when a democratic memories in The White House. But when the Republicans

"The worst financial market in years, hiring freeze everywhere, Q four is looking great. So first of all, I do love the reaction from people on the left Robert Reich did the same thing. Another billionaire is going to, okay, I would like for you to name a giant tech company that is not owned by a multi multi millionaire. Really, name a big tech company that is not owned by somebody who's with hundreds of millions of dollars. They do not exist. There's no Twitter app that is owned by the homeless guy at the end of the street on grand in Los Angeles. That's not how any of this works. Twitter employees heard news of the latest development in Musk's potential purchase while they were in a meeting, discussing the company's goals in 2023, according to Bloomberg. Roman Chad hurry, the Twitter director of machine learning ethics transparency and accountability tweeted quote living the plot of Succession is effing exhausting. Well, I think this person will not have a job for a particularly long. This is just my quick prediction. Again, director of machine learning ethics transparency and accountability means presumably the director of censorship over at Twitter. And of course, CNN's Daniel Sullivan then tweeted this Twitter employee sums up what I'm hearing from folks inside the company today. Yes, because as it turns out, Elon Musk has different ideas about censorship than you do. And this is why you are so upset. EJ Samson, who works in global business marketing to encourage every Twitter employee to go outside and take a walk. Twitter's head of global development on the Weinstein simply indicated what a roller coaster it has all been. Well, you know what? The good news is that Musk is actually creating a self cleansing mechanism here. It's what or by buying, presumably all these people either out themselves and be fired or quit. And it'll be great, because Twitter needs to be completely restaffed. There's a deep state over at Twitter. In the same way there was a deep state in the federal government, meaning an entrenched bureaucracy that has ideas of its own. And all of those people can simply go away. That would be wonderful. Kevin ruse, who's a longtime critic of open speech on the Internet. He's making some predictions over at The New York Times and what exactly is going to happen now that Elon Musk takes over.

"This is the Tom Hartman program. Hey, happy Friday, TGIF, Shabbat shalom, your mama body. It is the end of the week. It is anything goes Friday. It's you and me together for the next three hours, two O two 8 O 8 9 9 25 is our telephone number. Got a couple of stories. I'm going to share with you as we go through the three hours of our program today in the first hour I want to get into this question of is Ron DeSantis our next authoritarian nightmare. And for that matter, is he fulfilling the warning that George Washington left us in his farewell message. I'll tell you about that in a moment. Also, hey, Kavanaugh, the constitution doesn't mention the right to eat dinner. We'll get to that in a moment. In our second hour, I want to share with you the story that I published actually allows Friday a week ago today. We had taken Friday off, we basically, for the two years of the pandemic, nobody here had a day off and so we've been trying to get them where we can. And we took last Friday off along with Monday for the fourth. And so I didn't talk about it on the year. And somehow I had in my head that I had because it blew up on Twitter and it went everywhere and but anyhow, I'm going to do a deep dive into that. It's the nightmare scenario, the Supreme Court is planning or plotting for the 2024 election. And we'll talk about that in the second hour. And in the third hour, Robert Reich has a fascinating piece over on his substack, newsletter, titled the Democrats disease. And asking the question, why are Democrats facing midterm elections that they're likely to lose when Democrats have traditionally been the party of the middle class? The majority of Americans. But what's the deal here? And also the danger in our third hour of the danger of license plate readers in post row America. And in fact, I want to go a little beyond that. Just talking about, in general, what is the state of abortion law right now? What's going on? And how can this move forward? So a lot to talk about. And as I said, anything goes Friday, I will be picking up your calls in just a little bit here, but first I wanted to share with you my story for today. It was published over at Harvard report dot com. It's titled as Ron DeSantis, our next authoritarian nightmare. And what got me writing this? As you know, I typically write these in the afternoon. From 1 o'clock until 5 o'clock or noon till 5 o'clock, basically one to 5. That's my time to write the next day's op-ed. Sometimes until 6 or even 7. But I sat down to write yesterday and boom in my inbox was this email from Ron DeSantis. Asking for money. And it was the first one I've ever gotten from him. And I thought, oh my. And reading it, I was absolutely shocked. He is using the kind of rhetoric that dictators use. This is literally calling Democrats enemies. Not our opponents, not the other side, not our friends on the other side of the aisle the way Democrats talk about Republicans. But enemies. And a, it reminded me of Mussolini. You know, we've been for a long time in America. We've been thinking, okay, are we going to get our Mussolini? We had bride taking Nixon. We had Central American dictator loving Reagan. We had gitmo torturing and war line bush. And of course, Trump. But none of them really got there all the way. Mussolini was a famously short but rather muscular man whose strutted around with his chest all pushed out in his chin jutted forward, which is just like desantis, who's also very short and has according to Trump is muscle bound. And struts around. You watch him walk, and it's like, holy cow. But I've always been wary of picking on people because of how they look. But this is how he looks. This is how he behaves, I suppose. But also, some recent profiles of desantis are really troubling. Both men were socially awkward, both Ben crave power, both men lacked empathy, both men displayed casual cruelty. Both men sucked up to the wealthiest people in the nation, desantis is now sucking up to Elon Musk like there's no tomorrow, even threatened to go after the Twitter board of directors if they wouldn't let Musk take it over. But I think it's the language that concerns me most. George Washington warned us about this in his farewell address. When he said that the domination of one faction over the other in which different ages and countries is perpetrated the most horrid enormities is itself a frightful despotism. What was he talking about? Well, he said he was talking about the possibility that a literal strongman kind of leader a quantity could rise in America. He said, but this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism that disorders and miseries which result to gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual. Remember Trump saying I alone can fix it. Well, now we've got to Santa's. And sooner or later, George Washington wrote of some chief of some prevailing faction were able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation on the ruins of public liberty. So what has it been like? I mean, what was it that desantis said that got me so flipped out? Well, I just read parts of the letter to you. And as you're listening to this, just ask yourself, have you ever heard any Democrat talking like this? Or for that matter, most Republicans, or at least most Republicans pre Trump. I mean, even the most firebrand of all the Democrats, right? I've made a Bernie Sanders famously leftist, right? Doesn't talk about Republicans as enemies or well, let me just read this to you. Desantis writes to me yesterday. Our country is facing a currently facing a great threat. A new enemy has emerged from the shadows that seeks to destroy and intimidate their way to a transformed state and country that you and I would

The January 6th Committee Attempts to Prove the Impossible
"The January 6th committee is in a sense trying to prove what is impossible to prove. Now they claim that they've gathered enough evidence to support a Justice Department indictment against Trump. Now, they don't have the power by the way on their own to indict Trump. They're just a committee. They make a report. What do they do? Turn the report over to the Justice Department. Now admittedly, Merrick Garland would like nothing more than to do a strike against Trump. But I think even he realizes, first of all, he's going into uncharted territory. The idea of indicting a president from the other party is another remarkable thing to do. And in some ways, would I think push us not to, but perhaps towards civil strife, maybe even civil conflict. It's a very, very precarious action. I think the January 6th committee is blind to that. And so many leftists on social media. They're like, you know, here's, for example, Robert Reich today. Those who argue that Trump should not be criminally liable because no president American history has been criminally liable overlooked the fact that no president in history has staged an attempted coup to change the outcome of an election. Oh really? Ever heard of the Russia collusion hoax? Wasn't that staged by Obama and the Hillary campaign to change the outcome of the 2016 presidential election? I mean, the amnesia, I don't know if it's just genuine amnesia or just willful blindness, but this is, this is Robert Reich. Apparently with a straight face, never before, has a president or a presidential candidate ever. Yes, that actually happened in the last residential

"Today we continue with the clown show known as the January 6th hearings and I use that term clown show, not just to indicate the kind of comic stupidity of this, but also its macabre and creepy quality. I think one of the ambiguities of clowns is that they're foolish and they do somersaults and stupid stuff and as a kid, I only saw that side of the clown, but I think that as you get older, you begin to realize that there's a kind of darkness behind clowning. For example, of the role of the Joker, played by, was it heat ledger, I believe. And so there's a macabre aspect to all of this. Now, the January 6th hearings so far have been getting very tepid public audiences. I'll sometimes read 20 million people have watched the hearings while 20 million people when this is showing on every network with the only exception of Fox. I mean, that's 20 million people have seen 2000 mules. And it wasn't on any network. Including vlogs. So this is not exactly a sizable portion of the entire American population, given the amount of propaganda and the media's collusion in it. You would expect audiences that were three, four times that size, but it's not happening. And I think it's because people saw for themselves really what happened on January 6th. And even the things that they couldn't see, they can kind of put together. So the January 6th committee is in a sense trying to prove what is impossible to prove. Now they claim that they've gathered enough evidence to support a Justice Department indictment against Trump. Now, they don't have the power by the way on their own to indict Trump. They're just a committee. They make a report. What do they do? Turn the report over to the Justice Department.

"The most was really incredibly easy to say that's a hot take. Is that The Simpsons taking a bit of a political position there? I mean, yes, but it's not their first, I don't think. I don't think it's so much, of course. It's impossible to separate economics and politics. So I asked him if he was worried that this episode might alienate some viewers. Comedy is by its very nature kind of alienating. I mean, at some point, we have poked fun of everyone. And certainly we have done plenty to poke fun at the left and certainly there's plenty to poke fun of there. And so, you know, it just eventually we managed to target everybody. So I'm not that worried about it. You know who comes out of this episode looking pretty good though, patty, or firefighters. In the last act of the show, after barts, fragile hopes for his future have been torched by Lisa and Hugh Jackman and Robert Reich. Bard gets himself into the cerebral situation, and he is rescued, saved by firefighters. And they're not there just to save Bart, but actually to revive all of our hopes for the American Dream to deliver the message that a comfortable middle class is possible. You'll be okay. Thanks. By the way, how good your pay. Pays court and pensions great when we retire. Nice. Sweet health plan plus cool and boots. We're always hiring new recruits. Gotta love the hat and boots, you know? Plus the pension. The perks are everything. But yeah, I mean, if you look at what they're talking about here, this is stuff that used to come with lots and lots of jobs, not that long ago, but now is very rare, a job with healthcare, a pension, really good pay, union protections. The point that we're trying to make is that the middle class is sort of a vanishing species. And so, you know, we were slightly tongue in cheek when we said that firemen is the job that he should get, but he could do worse. Yeah, and of course, then there's the fact that we really need firefighters. I mean, do we really, really need firefighters? Given the strong likelihood that some part of the U.S. or they could burst into flames at any time, I guess that's job security. But you still hold me in high regard. Eat my shorts, you tell them more. Don't. Don't. This episode of the indicator was produced by Jess Kung with engineering from James willets. It was fact checked by Corey bridges. Our senior producer is Viet and Kate and cannon edits the show. The indicator is a production of NPR. Did Robert rice look over the script? Yeah, he did. He did. And he didn't have a single change. So this means that we could say that this show was in some way inspired by the indicator and fact checked by Robert Reich. Yeah, that's one way to put it.

"We have seen too many examples now, big tech, in quite recent years and months, deplatforming. People that they didn't agree with. I mean, consider the former New York Times reporter that said early on during the COVID crisis and right when the vaccines were coming out, the vaccines wouldn't actually prevent people altogether from getting COVID, but they would make it less deadly if they got it. But what happened to that guy got suspended for life? For saying that, I mean, give me a break. We can't be honest with one another. We can't question things. How about badly on me? Making a political joke that Twitter's team didn't find funny. So now we're censoring humor. That's what it's come to. By the way, I understand Elon Musk likes badly on be a lot. It's kind of like the conservative version of the youngin. And how the former president Trump getting thrown off Twitter. I mean, all of this is really quite nuts. Anyway, leftist elitists, the intelligentsia, who's out there and only believes that one viewpoint is acceptable, anything else is just hate speech. They're going to get a rude awakening here. I think, and with any luck, the rest of the big tech companies are going to pay attention. Maybe they might just begin to open-source their algorithms. Because I'll tell you, we can not live in a world where people are constantly being threatened by these woke gangs every two minutes. The day for just having a viewpoint that may be different than what the left wants them to have.

Elon Musk Accused of Being an Oligarch
"There are a lot of folks that are very angry right now, very angry that Elon Musk bought the company. You have employees voicing their concerns, they're worried about their future, of course. You've got media companies that are voicing their concerns. They too are worried about their future and how they fit into all this. Let me share with you how The Hollywood Reporter is casting the story. And I quote, Elon Musk is Twitter's new ruler. Interesting choice of words there, ruler. Expect grand plans and chaos ahead, the Tesla mogul doesn't care about making money with the platform. Instead, he gets his chance to play wizard and ban bots authenticate users and create his version of free speech utopia. Again, interesting choice of words, given that they're going with ruler, it's kind of in line with what former U.S. secretary of labor Robert Reich was saying about Elon Musk, accusing him of being an oligarch because he's been so successful. I mean, I find that quite troubling, considering the guy immigrated here to the United States of America created an industry from scratch, taking on, by the way, the auto giants, the oil giants, those industries that someone like Robert Reich, you would think would typically despise, and he became the richest man in the world by doing so. Why? Because that is a testament to what we are as a country. This is America, right? Used to be anyway. And I think Elon Musk gets the sense that increasingly if you do not preserve certain freedoms, including that First Amendment freedom, you run the risk that you won't have the same opportunities in the future.

Ex-Labor Secretary Reich Says Democrats Should Assault Sinema
"Now, last night, former Clinton secretary of labor and Harvard professor Robert Reich tweeted out, tonight, Republican senators lined up to shake Kirsten sinema's hand. Democratic senators should have given her the backs of their hands. After withering criticism for apparently encouraging violence against women, he deleted that tweet. What do you make of that tweet by Robert Reich? It shows you that he is part of this cabal behind the curtain that is pushing forward, very vigorously this socialist agenda. And they know they have a very narrow window to push this through. They're fully aware of that.

"And welcome back Tom harvin here with you just a quick note by the way I mentioned this yesterday And I think it's worth mentioning again Robert Reich has a great piece It's up on alternate right now but it's also on his website Robert Reich dot com And what he's saying is yeah we've got inflation right now The reason we have inflation is because of corporate consolidation This is my book the hidden history of monopolies This is what's going on It gives the example of proctor gamble and Kimberly Clark He says in April proctor and gamble said that they were going to raise their prices on everything from diapers to toilet paper because of rising costs for raw materials And then he says Bologna Procter & Gamble is raking in huge profits in the quarter ending September 30th after some of its price increases went into effect It reported a whopping 24.7% profit margin And has spent 3 billion in the quarter buying back its own stock which of course raises bonuses for all its executives Same thing with PNG A lion's share of the market for diapers is now controlled by just two companies P and G and Kimberly Clark PepsiCo which owns Frito lay Gatorade Quaker tropicana and other brands They just announced that they're raising prices at the same time that they recorded $3 billion in operating profits And are going to spend $5.8 billion in dividends to their shareholders this year Coca-Cola has increased its profit margins to 28.9% The reason why inflation is happening right now There's multiple reasons for this But one of the main reasons that inflation is happening right now is that these giant monopolies you see the same thing with the airlines There's only four major air carriers in the United States 30 years ago there were more than a dozen There is no competition So when you get into an inflationary environment these giant companies simply say you know we're going to Jack up the prices We're going to increase our profits We're going to pay our executives more We're going to pass out bigger dividends We're going to buy back our shares But we're going to blame it all in inflation And who gets the blame for it Joe Biden And the Democrats And then Joe Manchin gets to come out and lie and say well we can't spend more government money because that's producing inflation Ball Government spending is not producing inflation It doesn't now it never has in any consequential way Maybe devaluing the currency.

"Power to get everything you want in. That's the thing. I don't understand about going back to the democrats you have the power. You have the presidency back. You've rescued it from these. People incompetent. Malevolent people who were in charge. And you have a majority in congress. Why aren't you using it the way that we really need to be using it. Well first of all. I wanna say in fairness to the democrats with there in the capital right now. I'm impressed by the one point. Nine stimulus bill got through. I'm impressed that it looks like an almost trillion dollar infrastructure. Bill is going through. I would if i had to bet i would say that. Three point five. Trillion dollar have soft stimulus bill. That's likely to go through. I think the democrats actually accomplishing more than the obama. Democrats or the clinton democrats in the first two years Where the democrats have both houses of congress for both of those administrations. But i you know as a progressive i want more. I mean as a progressive. I want to see. The minimum wage raised as aggressive. I want people who are in poverty who are being kicked out of their homes or their rental units. They should not be. I don't want to be subjected to that. I don't want people at the border being put back into prisons or jails or cages a progressive as a liberal. I want much more than the democrats seem to be able to deliver. And i also want the for the people act. I one voting reform. I don't want right. These republican states to be able to take away the votes particularly votes. Who black and latino people. And i'm angry. Yeah and say man. I should probably couch my earlier comments by saying listen. I understand that. The by the administration and democrats in congress have actually gotten a substantial amount done and they've they've certainly turned this whole pandemic in a different direction. But that being said it's not wrong to ask for more considering the power that they have especially with garcia voting rights. As you bring up you see them in -sconsin this language of hope and optimism which is all well and good but you know voting turnout as they claim is not going to solve the problem of voter suppression. It's not going to end it and we. We can't just sit here thinking that like okay. We're going to stop the bleeding of the trump administration and think that they were doing okay or that we've done enough. Yeah well. I think there's a real danger. We're not back to jim. Crow were not back to pre nineteen sixty five of voting rights act. But we're pretty close and were pretty close because there is something that we haven't yet talked about but it is the elephant in the room and that is trump and the trump administration. What donald trump did the racism he exploited and provoked and the fact. He's still with us. He still justifying all of these republican state. Legislators trying to constrict the vote the fact that trump can still do that is frightening. It frightens me and the fact that we've got a few democrats like joe. Manchin and kristen cinema democratic senators who are so concerned about being considered centrist. That they won't commit themselves to the for the people are to preempting all of these Negative turns on the in state legislatures on voting rights That's be is incomprehensible. There is no centrism anymore. If feel fascism on one side. You can't be a centrist centrism. Meant something when you have legitimate republican party small government and actually had some principals behind it but centrism when you're talking about compromising with trump works.

"With Mark and Rob. We were just talking about the whole Josh Holly book and how it's now been picked picked up by rectory after being dropped by Simon Schuster Robert Reich, who was a former secretary of Labor's Berkeley professor. Now he's got like 1.2 million followers on Twitter. Just listen and he's wrong all the time. He's wrong all the time. But listen to the wrongness today, he says. When here's the difference, folks. When Colin Kaepernick speaks out against racial injustice, no team will sign him. When Josh Holly gets dropped for helping incite an insurrection. He lands another book deal in less than two weeks. That's what white privilege looks like. Okay, so he went there. So can I have a moment, please? Because this gets set about Colin Kaepernick. All the time. And let's clarify exactly what happened with Colin Capper, Nick. Colin Kaepernick had a valid contract with the San Francisco 40 Niners He was going to make like I don't know. $16 million. He was the quarterback for the 40 Niners. They wanted him back. He opted out of his contract, which he had the right to do. They wanted him to keep playing. They wanted to hand him $16 million. He said. No, he said. I believe I'm worth more than that on the open market. Colin Kaepernick was okay. He wasn't very good. He was a backup quarterback. A bunch of teams looked at this guy and said we will. We were open to signing you for X, he said. I'm not playing for that, he said. I'd rather set out, they said by CIA, then all the other drama off the field drama happened and just like with Tim Tebow. Just like with Tim Tebow. They said, your skills do not correlate. To the drama that comes with you. Therefore, just like Tim Tebow, who again wasn't very good was a backup quarterback, They said. It's not worth it. That's why Colin Kaepernick is not in the NFL. It has nothing to do with race, racially motivated stuff or whatever else. He walked away from a guaranteed contract and then found Justus. Many other free agents white black, whatever. That you're not that you're not worth what you think you are, and therefore he's not in the NFL anymore. He made it worse on himself after he got out of football because he's not very good. And can we just? I mean, that's like, not even to mention all of the ridiculous endorsement deals that he got Sure, I mean, Come on. This is these two examples put against each other are so it's so apples and oranges Tim Tebow and Colin Kaepernick or not in the league for the same reason is the same reason a guy like Dez Bryant, who was a white receiver for the Cowboys, who thought he was worth the whole bunch of went in free agency and didn't get signed until just this year, was out for years. Your When your talent level your talent level dictates how much drama people will put up with you. If you're Patrick Mahomes could have a whole bunch of drama. He doesn't but he could because he's really good. Colin Kaepernick, Tim Tebow. One guy white. One guy black. One guy conservative. One guy liberal, both same issue very good. And then also had drama. So it's the same. It's not an example of white privilege. Robert Reich, you crazy person. You want to have a long career in the NFL. You have two options either Be really good. Or don't cause a bunch of drama and look in the case of Tim Tebow. I don't think the stuff he did was drama. The guy simply kneeled and was open about his Christianity. But people who own teams get to make those calls. Not the fan in the stands exactly quickly because I've cut into most of my time about Petra sexual trucks. There's a politician. He's a North Vancouver, Canada Council member, and he Triggered mass outrage on social media earlier this week because he posted a picture of a gigantic pickup truck on Twitter and his caption said the glorification of violence and domination. Hashtag unnecessary trucks. Hash tag petro masculinity. What so People went after him Hard. What was the word you you had Troma ask Yah Lin itty. So it's it's his new brand new made up word to describe when guys get like gigantic trucks that they don't need. It's an example of petro masculinity, and it's there. There clearly there they aren't They are secure in their own masculinity, so they have to get like a big giant truck. That's dangerous, and it just assumes. You should assume that they want to be violent and dominating. This is not a word I've missed. This is one He just apparently made up. I think so. It's the first time I've heard it so hard to keep track of everything, but well, you're gonna have to start taking notes. Okay, Because Petra masculinity is a thing now and everybody needs to know about it. All right in the next segment. I know you've got a rant coming. On. So we're gonna talk about your rant, and we're also going to talk a little bit more about these partners that might be coming out of Trump, so stay tuned.

Thanks so much for joining me today, Robert. Thanks so much for having me. It's a pleasure to be on the show. Well I am happy to have you on the show I. WE'RE GONNA. Be Spending some time today talking about A variety of things are and the topic of business owners protecting themselves. which I think a is a huge topic. Be With everything that's been going on and potential that more and more people are going to be going into business for themselves I. Think you know it becomes an even more important. Topic it certainly timely. If nothing else, it's one of those things we all have to be mindful of we. We go to market, and we launched businesses, but especially these days just just it's. It's more important than ever. I suppose. Yeah, yeah, no question. So what would you say would be the most important thing that a business owner can do when they're launching? To protect themselves. Yeah well first and foremost as you think about launching a business I of run in gravitate towards protecting your personal assets I think in most of my clients are in startup shown companies. They're they're very much. You know entrepreneurs. At Heart. And within the entrepreneur community. There's very much this mentality of. Just hustle and move fast and break things, and then figure out all the all the stuff that it's the legal stuff kind of later on down the road to me. I think that's it's kind of created that what I kind of side side-hustle? Syndrome people that are just taking action. There's moving and then you know we'll. We'll dot the I's and crossed. The TS later has not. It's really not smart thing to do right if you're going to go into business for yourself. You WanNa. Make sure that your personal assets are going to be removed from the field of play, and the only assets that are ever going to be at stake are the assets of the business and so kind of my first port of call for clients is they're thinking about launching a physical products business, or maybe they're going to do some sort of consulting. Maybe there an info pure. They're going to create a course and do masterclasses or whatnot is really forming a forming a business entity. And then running all of their business operations through that through that business vehicle for hearing the you know for folks here in the states in the limited liability, companies are really nice way to go about doing that. You know if you're overseas in Europe or in Australia Pty. Ltd or a UK, limited certainly are good vehicles that you can leverage regardless of where you are physically in the world. You know the first step is really the same. It's making sure that you have a proper business vehicle. Run Your Business through and that you're actually doing that once it's created at once. It's up and running. So, this I totally agree with you and it's interesting. I think a lot of people think they can just like. Hang A shingle and do the Solo or the sole proprietor road. The I talk about why that's not a good idea. What's the danger that we'll the dangerous? The you're the business in the businesses you again. It's that notion of justify if I go out and I take action and I I grind and know. Know then. I'm fine. Right? I'm hanging a shingle on the real business. You really are right so under the eyes of the law. If it's just you and you're going out and you're doing business activities to generate profit well, you're the business and the businesses you meaning that you know your house, your car, your personal bank account if something were to go sideways and Your Business, all of those assets, all of a sudden or at risk. It likewise. If you're working with that with a colleague, you've got a partner and the two of you all are going out there. You're going to market your. Painting houses. You're selling physical products. You're new collaborating on a course you know. The line of business really doesn't matter what's important is is the effort that's behind it if if you all are going out there. Trying to generate a dollar again now your your personal assets or risk even more so in a partnership. It's really strange. How much of the partnership do you actually own in? Okay? Was it where we really fifty fifty partners where we sixty forty, where we something else also said that gets just to create a whole. Array headache in a in a big mess. We want to avoid all of that. Right I when I go and I go to market and I sell products, or I'm selling services I want to make sure that it's not me individually. That's doing. That's not mean a partner that are doing. It's the business that's doing it again. You know organizing a limited liability company incorporating. If you're looking to ultimately take on, some investment is certainly a smart thing to do kind of a proactive thing to do, but just having that formal business vehicle through which you can run all your business endeavors, really really important and pretty straightforward to do is also really good. Thing is a part of that.

Trump's Tariffs Are a New Tax on Americans
"Joining us now is Robert Reich. Former secretary of labor in the Clinton administration, and he's a professor of public policy at the university of California at Berkeley, his latest book, become and good was recently released in paperback and professor, right? It is finally getting through to the news media, certainly an and maybe even to the White House who pays the Trump tariffs. Well, this is a trade war and in any trade war the casualties Lawrence. Our consumers at in this particular trade war between the largest and second largest economies in the world. American consumers are already paying dearly. It's a hidden tax. But a tariff is attacks and the taxes a tariff, and you just can't avoid it and Donald Trump can't avoid it. And the. It's basically a sales tax in the actual forms of it. It's paid at the port in the United States by the company that is importing those goods the company, then raises the price of that goods, those goods one soul to us to basically pay for the tariffs. Exactly. And this is not something new. I mean, we have known how tariffs worked for approximately one hundred and thirty years, economists, not only economists politicians I nine hundred thirty congressman Smoot Hawley. Tried a very very big experiment, and international trade, and that was a tariff that plunged us into a deeper depression than we were already in and the history of this was has been known for quite a while Larry Kudlow himself opposed to tariffs of all kinds every day of his professional life until he had to go to work for Donald Trump. He did and Larry I've debated Larry on television for years. He is. A friend this despite the fact that we don't see eye to eye, but we do see eye to eye on tariffs. And I have talked to him over the last year and fact as recently as three months ago, he was very worried about this. I don't think I'm giving away anything by saying this. He was worried that Donald Trump would do it exactly what Donald Trump is done. Let me just say one other thing. And that is that I have worked for where advised a lot of presidents. And there are in fact, a Republican as well as democrat presidents who don't understand economics, generally, get a a lesson from their economic advisers presidents who don't understand economics. Don't spout off and repeatedly say economic lies. I mean, this is basically this is this is dangerous, and we're in a very very dangerous territory right now, very slow learner in the White House. Professor Robert Reich. Thank you very much for joining us. Really appreciate.
