Feeling Good About Forced Pay Increases

|
| The callousness. | |
| That's the perfect word. | |
| Ah, do you know hitting the perfect word is one of the great joys of life? | |
| The callousness of the Democratic Party and the left, which it serves. | |
| NBC Los Angeles, Food for Less, and two Los Angeles Ralph's stores. | |
| Ralph's is a major supermarket chain here. | |
| To close in May. | |
| The Kroger Company announced three-store closing in Los Angeles following an earlier decision to close a Ralph's and a Food for Less in Long Beach. | |
| Now, why would that be? | |
| The move follows the Los Angeles City Council's grocery store workers' hero pay vote on March 3rd. | |
| That's an ordinance that requires large grocery and pharmacy retailers to offer employees an additional $5 per hour in hazard pay amid the COVID-19 pandemic. | |
| So you see? | |
| It worked. | |
| We are forcing you... | |
| I don't know what right they have. | |
| The whole thing. | |
| It is so amazing. | |
| We are going to tell private companies... | |
| How much they have to pay their workers. | |
| They may not be able, and they will close, and the workers will be then unemployed, but we don't care. | |
| That's what I mean, the callousness. | |
| The left lives to feel good about itself. | |
| This is the self-esteem movement as a monster. | |
| Self-esteem movement was founded by a liberal Democrat, John Vasconcelos, I think in the 1980s. | |
| As a member of the California State Senate. | |
| So this is it. | |
| I feel good about giving people working in markets, supermarkets, I feel good about forcing the supermarkets to give them more money. | |
| The supermarkets cannot afford it and they will shut down. | |
| We don't care. | |
| Same with the minimum wage. | |
| The whole idea of a national minimum wage is callous. | |
| It is saying to people in Mississippi, where the standard of living is much lower, I should say the cost of living. | |
| I shouldn't say the standard of living. | |
| I think the standard of life is higher in Mississippi than in New York. | |
| I truly believe that. | |
| But the standard of income is lower. | |
| So you are telling Mississippi restaurants you have to pay what New York restaurants pay. | |
| New York restaurants charge far more money and are better capable of handling those payments. | |
| So what? | |
| So what? | |
| We feel good about ourselves because we did two things. | |
| We raised the minimum wage of workers so we feel we are moral. | |
| And second, that's what the unions told us to do, which is all the Democratic Party does, is what unions tell them to do. | |
| I was told this by the most prominent Democrat in California about 20 years ago. | |

Denials Leading to More Deaths

|
| I will not mention his name because I promised him I wouldn't. | |
| And that's the way it works. | |
| So there'll be fewer stores. | |
| The number of store closures is frightening. | |
| All right, I would like you to hear some of Joe Biden's speech. | |
| Let us begin with Cut 79. Denials for days, weeks, then months. | |
| That led to more deaths. | |
| More infections, more stress, and more loneliness. | |
| Okay, a couple of things. | |
| First, it's a pretty common thing that presidents blame the previous presidents. | |
| So this is... | |
| I don't care that he does it. | |
| I care that he gives this facade of, I am above this disunity talk. | |
| What were the denials of months? | |
| What did President Trump deny for months? | |
| They never specify. | |
| It is the world of generalizations without examples. | |
| I give generalizations all the time and always with examples. | |
| Now, wait a minute, though. | |
| That led to more deaths, more infections, more stress, and more loneliness. | |
| No. | |
| The lockdown led to more stress and more loneliness. | |
| I don't think that the... | |
| The denials led to more deaths. | |
| The states that had the most deaths were in the least denial. | |
| But it's been a phenomenon of the last year what's been blamed on COVID and not been blamed on the lockdown. | |
| COVID does not cause loneliness. | |
| Lockdowns have caused loneliness. | |
| Severe, I might add. | |
| Number 80. So many of you have had to make that same walk this past year. | |
| You lost your job. | |
| You closed your business. | |
| Facing eviction. | |
| Homelessness. | |
| Hunger. | |
| A loss of control. | |
| Maybe worst of all, a loss of hope. | |
| Watching a generation of children who may be set back up to a year or more because they've not been in school because of their loss of learning. | |
| Right, exactly. | |
| All caused by the lockdown. | |
| It's just a world of make-believe. | |
| The world of the left is a world of make-believe. | |
| It was caused by the lockdown. | |
| The greatest mistake in history? | |
| And more and more people realize it. | |
| I said that in March or April. | |
| I was roundly vilified for it. | |
| But it turned out right. | |
| Then he is going to speak. | |
| Well, I won't give the plot away. | |
| Mr. Unity will have more. | |
| Disuniting ideas for us in a moment. | |
