So like, who are we to talk about working class issues or workers' rights or anything like that?
Uh, so I thought we'd bring on self-described worker for life, Ben Shapiro.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Some real blue collar perspective here.
Find out how a real worker feels about retirement.
And let's be real about this.
It's insane that we haven't raised the retirement age in the United States.
I'm always saying utterly insane.
I say this to my co-workers.
I say it is utterly insane.
We don't have to work longer.
I can't hear it.
So, you know.
Interesting.
That's not good.
That's weird.
Like, I don't even know how you would do that on accident.
Present video file.
Okay, I guess I gotta do it this way.
Oh, you actually have this, like, saved.
And let's be real about this.
It's insane that we haven't raised the retirement age in the United States.
Okay, weird.
I have to... Damn, that sucks.
That was a good intro.
Yeah.
God damn it.
Okay.
Cut all this shit out.
Um, and then I guess if we're, if we're put a clip on online, I'll just start the start over, you know?
Yeah.
I can still put the, your, what you said after it, leave that in there.
It was still make sense.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's totally crazy.
Joe Biden.
It's totally crazy.
Insane.
It's totally crazy.
This is definitely something we sit around the shop, man, you know, this is what we talk about.
This is what we talk about when we're standing in the line at Home Depot, you know, big old cart, big old cart of two by fours.
And we're like, you know, it's insane.
It's insane that they haven't raised The retirement age up to like 78.
Yeah.
It's absolutely crazy.
And you slap the wood and you say, I want to do this forever.
I don't want the government coming in here and telling me that I can't make money doing this anymore just because I'm just because I'm a certain age.
That's disgusting.
Yeah.
If that were the case, Joe Biden should not be running for president.
OK.
Yeah, sure.
You got you got me there.
Like how old is Joe Biden?
Eighty eighty what?
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
And I think that he's passed the current retirement age.
He should he should be retired.
You're like making our point.
Right.
You're making you're making our point for us, Ben Shabby.
Also, he's definitely not capping for Trump anymore.
His fucking argument is nobody should retire.
Look at how good Biden is doing.
Yeah.
What are you talking about?
And like also by his logic, that would still because he's not that much older than Trump, so that would still apply to Trump, but he's not capping for Trump the way he used to.
So never mind.
He still does.
He still promotes Trump over Biden, but he's always been critical of Trump, except on Israel, where Trump is perfect for him.
Joe Biden is 81 years old.
The retirement age in the United States at which you start to receive Social Security and you are eligible for Medicare is 65.
Yeah.
Thanks for explaining to us how it makes sense.
Thanks for explaining to me that I don't want someone like Joe Biden greeting me at a restaurant.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
Because if Joe Biden were to work at Walmart, it would be because they're taking out a life insurance policy on him.
He would be a greeter.
Joe Biden has technically been eligible for Social Security and Medicare for 16 years, and he wants to continue in office until he is 86, which is 19 years past when he would be eligible for retirement.
No one in the United States should be retiring at 65 years old.
Frankly, I think retirement I love it when conservatives broach this topic.
Who do they think it's persuasive to?
It's persuasive to other, like, econ demons like yourself who care more about the Wall Street line than they do human beings.
Retirement is so popular that even the fucking ghouls in Congress who have chipped away at every other social safety net Refuse to have their names associated with getting rid of social security.
Yeah, exactly.
You can't even get like a right wing coalition of again, just like bloodthirsty freaks.
To publicly say they're going to get rid of Social Security.
That's how fucking popular it is.
That's what a loser of an argument this is.
And this is, I guess, maybe like how you can tell true believers from people like riding a bandwagon.
People like Ben Shapiro who are just yet debate lords who think.
