Sam: It's fun to be able to talk about things where there's a political advantage for democrats and a massive public policy advantage for all of us. You know in moving from the vaccine mandate to you know what's winding through congress as we speak there are five committees that are you know looking at different aspects of the 3.5 trillion dollar budget bill. the reconciliation bill. and here's how to know to tie in on your story. Joe Manchin comes out last week or end of last week maybe beginning this week and says yeah I’m looking at something that's more like one trillion dollars I could see myself going up to 1.5 trillion dollars but 3.5 trillion dollars we couldn't possibly do because and then mumble mumble something inflation mumble. I don't know what else comes after those words but it's just sort of mumble mumble. Institutions senate something something. So like first off what's your sense and there was already I think Stephanie Murphy came out and said from Florida in the house that she's not she's gonna vote against it already because it's not she doesn't have enough time to read it. And what's your sense of where it's that what the was it what’s the state of play in the house and you know the senate and then let's talk about the implications of your you know blockbuster story. Because you know people say joe Biden LBJ well LBJ would be would have would he know what to do with this you know what to do with that story it seems to me.
Grim: So then the house is I think yes Stephanie murphy likely no. Curt Schroeder former head of the blue dogs I think is a pretty solid no. Jared Golden lean no but like gettable. But then everybod

The Majority Report crew watches a clip of @Fox News's "The Five" that predominately features the brilliant Jesse Watters. Jesse Watters says, "If you want to stop climate change, you don't fight climate change. If it's getting warmer, you adapt to it." So Fox News just slipped in admitting that climate change is real. Okay. Watters goes on to say that the Netherlands built structures that helped to mitigate the effects of rising sea levels (we can't do that with Florida, it's been looked into), and he focuses on the fact that the Netherlands has a great economy. It's about money. Not only is Jesse Watters grossly underestimating the degree of sea level change we should likely anticipate, he fails to mention ever-increasing wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, and heat waves. Those are just some climate change consequences, but the list could go on and on: Entire ecosystems have already been affected and we are past the point of no return in ways that we can't even see yet.

Emma Vigeland: Jesse Watters has a solution for people who might experience detrimental effects of climate change, and it's kind of like that shirt that Paris Hilton wore one time: Stop Being Poor. This is kind of the energy that Jesse's given off here. Would you say, Matt?
Matt Lech: Yeah, I remember that shirt. I also remember Ben Shapiro saying "just sell your house if it's underwater" so lots of that.
Emma Vigeland: He combined that satirical Paris Hilton shirt, I would say, with Ben Shapiro's legitimately stupid opinions, and he did a little segment on Fox News. Let's take a listen.
Jesse Watters: If you want to stop climate change, you don't fight climate change. If it's getting warmer, you adapt to it. Let's just say the sea levels rise a couple inches over the next century, okay. It's a great civilization we have here. I think we can adapt to that. The Netherlands, 25 percent below sea level, they're like a powerhouse in Europe. They didn't just destroy their economy to fight the rise in the sea levels, right. They built reservoirs and kind of adjusted around the coastline, and they're fine.
Matt Lech: So a poi

Sam Seder talks about the new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendation that states that people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can go maskless in many indoor and outdoor situations — it literally states on their website that “you can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic” “without wearing a mask or physically distancing.” Then the website goes on to list a bunch of things don’t really line up with this advice, such as that you’ll still want to get tested if you’ve been around someone who’s been sick (you’re living your life, how would you know?), they’re not like, totally sure how effective vaccines are against variants (not sure at all!), you need to be careful in stores and at work (anywhere with people, really), and there are just a lot of caveats to this whole thing so it’s probably easier to just wear a mask, okay?
Sam points out that a lot of our society freaks out about anything that is a collective action, like mask-wearing.
Then Glenn Beck and Dave Rubin come into the picture. Glenn Beck says that not wearing a mask is like “wearing a yellow star.” Which … it’s not. The Nazis forced the Jewish people to wear yellow Stars of David so that they could be identified for persecution. They didn’t have a choice of whether or not they got to be a part of the group that was persecuted. Also, they were ultimately rounded up, put on trains, and murdered. But Dave Rubin and Glenn Beck think they are JUST as persecuted if someone “gives them the side-eye” because they don’t wear a mask.
Dave Rubin has a pretty quick change of heart, because a few days later he says that he’s making a commitment not to wear a mask when he goes out in L.A., even though he says he doesn’t really go out, but when he does he won’t wear a mask, UNLESS someone asks him to. That’s where he draws the line guys. He’s not trying to “start a riot.” (He won’t even debate Sam. No s*** he’s not trying to start a riot.)

I always think about what would happen, if the one thing these social media companies had done from the beginning is just not use an algorithm to push certain things based on like engagement to force people to stay on the site like you know if if if all these terrible right-wingers who eventually after years and years were spreading this stuff got who got banned if all of them were on this platform from the beginning and uh they never had these algorithms pushing the outrage factory videos and the the contrarian takes that are just there to get people you know the reactionary views all hyped up I wonder how much different things would have been you probably wouldn't even need to ban them you probably wouldn't even need to even take action against them because the facts of the matter are most of them probably wouldn't have even risen to a level of being a problem because there would have been no audience there for them but the algorithms do exist and they did do this very thing that I'm talking about and so here we are you know I agree but I also find it's a little you know we can't blame it entirely on the algorithm because at some point a person was standing there making the decision to take money from prageru from uh was it the epic times for ads and promotional materials a lot of this is a money-making scheme a lot of this is right-wing corporations who have money to pump into facebook ads pump in to you know youtube ads to draw attention from other videos based on like video games or comic books that you know may happen to have the population that they're looking to attract um commonly watching them right I know when I watch video game trailers on youtube there's like you know it used to be a flip of a coin before I started using vpns and ad blocks whether or not I got like a prageru ad or uh you know or uh epic times ad and regardless of what else I was watching and sort of you know they're built on old patr
