Someone once said, "Don't follow your passion, bring your passion with you." Meaning, put your passion into what you choose to do. Find pride and satisfaction in a job well done. We have forgotten about the quiet integrity of an honest day's work.
They keep describing affirmative action in a wrong way. Affirmative action is not for profiting black rich kids. It is to help those who deserve to be hired or given admission or promoted but doesn’t get it because of their skin color. So many people see black people in power and just feel that they are not qualified to be in that position.
@@jacobwatson3781I know what you're saying but as someone in the sciences and deals with those who follow Trump, there are definitely those who are very interested in actual data and science. Always be ready to back up your research .. with this, I have received a lot of very rich conversations and words such as, "I've never heard it that way before.." Can change minds with reason, sometimes.
I couldn’t agree more with Galloway. I figured out early on chasing passions usually means you’re chasing fame through sports or the arts. Most people are in it for the wrong reasons. The glamour of those lives is alluring I get it, but I chose a different path and I live a good life because of it. I’m teaching my kids the same.

Anecdotes are not the same as statistics. 🙂 In my country, only 2% of college/university graduates are unemployed. The average unemployment rate is around 8%. That being said, I'm pretty sure that you can become really succesful as a contractor.
I wouldn't brag too hard about that. Rich, greedy, POS housing "developers" (I have them in my family too) is a big part of the problem. If they REALLY spent their lives building quality, fair housing for their communities, actually improving them and not just catering to the rich, to maximize PROFIT, this nation wouldn't be such an inequal $h!thole, would it? 🤔
@@Zett76This isn't because of a lack of competence on the part of people who didn't go to college as you implied, this is because of a phenomenon called Credentialism, where companies will only hire people if they have X degree from Y University of their choice, even if the knowledge concomitant with the degree can be obtained by methods other than going to college (apprenticeship, autodidact, vocational schools). Also, you'll need to say which country you're referring to, because many countries actually mandate a certain number of educational years, including college. And an 8% unemployment rate? Seems there are more economic issues under the surface that need to be factored in.
God I wish I had been born rich instead of beautiful. Beauty only hurt me. I had to work much harder in every single department of my life for people to take me seriously. My professors tried to sleep with me, same thing with my bosses, I would later on have roommates that put cameras in the bathroom. Nowadays, you can be born ugly as shit but as long as you have money, you can buy your looks. I would choose money over looks all day long.

Hi Scott, I wish you were on the air more often. I do not know why High School isn't bringing back TRADE SCHOOLS. THERE GREAT JOBS, YOU LEARN A TRADE AND MAKE GREAT MONEY. LOVE YOUR POD CAST ! YOUR LISTNER J. COOR 4-26-24
@joellyncoor4976 The answer is money... and when legislators defund education you have to cut programs and trade schools, just like college, is big money business today.
Agreed: our social infrastructure is based on regional tax revenue, so poor neighborhoods get less resources for things like education, police & fire protection than rich neighborhoods leading to generations of poor neighborhoods producing poorly educated & protected kids while rich neighborhoods produce privileged kids. It was much more racial when enacted, but not it is indeed based on the color green: those with it, get to give it to their young & those without it don't. Until we level off the infrastructure playing field to undo generations of cultural inequality, ending affirmative action will only perpetuate the old race-based classism.
A good friend of mine is a electrician at a hospital, he charges the so called rich doctors more for his work when they have mansions built on the cheap from the ground.
@@dianep6791 I'm a landscaper who always charges the rich people more. Charge what the market will bear, first rule of business. Plus, the rich usually have zero point of reference for what labor costs.
Here in FL the people who have no education are roofers and lawn mowers. It isn't the roofers that make the money - its the owners of the roofing company. Same with lawn companies and their employees. Without education in something a worker is stuck in hard labor, low paying jobs.
Until some of those employees get together and start their own landscaping business. I know a bunch of guys who have done that. The problem is getting the bigger pieces of equipment to do the higher end landscaping jobs. There are a lot of people who are starting to figure out that being the boss is hard but they get the money.

Absolutely this. Plumbers, roofers don't make shit...just like retail workers. Business owners make the coin.
My neighbor’s son decided not to attend college last year, Venice, Florida. He is 19. He’s working for a major roofing company for the time being. He’s makes $28 an hour, receives full health benefits, and receives a stipend towards attending a 2 year college or technical school. Not bad. My nephew, 31 years old, is an iron worker in NYC. He attended a 2 year technical school 7 years ago. His salary is $85 an hour, double time on weekends. He receives full health benefits, and a 401 k. He drives a Range Rover, lives in the suburbs with his wife and 2 kids. His wife is a teacher. Last year they grossed $290,000.
Its not about you becoming a roofer; its about being your own successful business. You be can b as proud to be a successful roofer as being a successful actor.
Yup. I derive a lot of pride even from my family's business. I didn't start it. My pops did. And busted ass for years, still does actually. But helped build it and run it nowadays. I also have my own side gig, but honestly, I'm kind of lazy with it as by time I'm done with the family business, I just don't care enough to go make a little extra money. I probably should, but, I really enjoy having a 1/3rd of most days for my hobbies and relaxation. I've resigned myself to not feeling bad about that.
We need good roofers. Good actors? Not so much. Value to society, actors and other entertainers are over rated and over compensated financially. When was the last time in desperation you wished you had Kevin Costner, Tom Hanks, Don Lemon or Bill Maher?
To Scotts point, I'll give the best example I can think of. My grandfather drove for UPS for 35 yrs. Now granted, the country has changed and opportunities are not the same as he had. But, he now has enough money to drive his MASSIVE RV around the country, camp, fish and hunt to his hearts content. Obviously being in a union helped him because they forced UPS to take care of their people. But we also have less people involved in organized labor than ever before in America. Maybe if more of us focused on protecting realistic careers instead of being YET ANOTHER influencer or trying to be a movie star, corporate America wouldn't be allowed to continue fucking us up the ass.

People are not just discriminated against because of income. If that were the case then Black students would have been accepted to all the top academic schools in the country generations ago and there would not have been Jewish quotas for the Ivy League schools before WWII. Galloway's opinion is just another cloistered white boy's tunnel vision evaluation of the situation.
Affirmative action is the worst thing. Only merit is the war to go forward for any country. Example. Look at India. They have f*ked up the entire country with affirmative action for last 60 plus years. The politicians took advantage to no end. Try living there.
"roofers / plumbers / lawn folks make a lot of money" is a consumer view. home repair / maintenance is a very difficult business with lots of risk when you factor in all the different economic and regulatory challenges in place. I would argue that you have to be exceptional across a number of skills beyond the repair / maintenance work itself to make a go of any of those professions. "no matter where you eat, there is no free lunch."
Sounds smart, but is trite in the end. Fearmongering over obsessively hoarding money against the oppression of the future is . . . dystopian. The U can and should do better, but is too greedy. And instead of focusing on quality of life(style), the US is constantly obsessed, both the left and right, with making and hoarding more money instead of trying to balance money with passion and, you know, happiness. The US is one of the most scared and fearmongering country in the world, particularly the First World.
I went to trade school after high school, became a mechanic and was making 100k a year. I know quite a few people with college degree, who do not make close to that (and have a ton debt).. Only difference was, they look better on paper. People still today look down on me, like I'm an idiot for that choice. My high school diploma has a gold foil seal on it that reads Valedictorian. I bet theirs do not.
@@Bradgilliswhammyman Well to be fair, most of them are lazy, and work just enough to pay bills..(if they even show up for work in the first place) My flat rate pay was $35hr. I of course started out slow, but after a few years would regularly hit 100-110 hours bi weekly. Add in spiffs, team leader bonus, and production bonus. 100k was obtainable given the work was around. In the 2007-2009 market crash, the shop was empty many days. Then things really picked up..., till covid and the car shortage.
I wish I'd gone into the trades. My job satisfaction and quality of life would've been better too, not just My finances. My plumber, roofer, and mechanic are literally muti millionaires. They own their own businesses but you can do well working as an employee tradesman for them too. If anyone "disrespects" the trades that just shows how ignorant that person is (and useless with tools and a lot of other really useful, practical things).
It's not an easy line of work and requires proper skill. I don't get why there's so much hate for these professions. The world falls apart very quickly without electricians, plumbers etc.

This dude Scott Galloway is my new hero. He’s the only person anywhere near his age who has said out loud (during the main show) with no sugar coating how desperate the retired have made all their children, pretending it’s the same world they grew up in. I’m 36, have no relationship, work 3 jobs to afford rent at a place infested with mold, falling apart and I hear gunshots at least twice a week. I no longer qualify for jobs I have 15 years of experience in because I don’t have a bachelors degree. I have no savings, live paycheck to paycheck, have medical issues I don’t go to a doctor for because I can’t afford them and I, like many of my generation and below, feel no real love for this country, absolutely don’t trust anyone in government, am fully aware I’m a slave who gets green coupons to barely survive, and have nothing to look forward to besides a hopefully swift, sudden, imminent death. Thank you Scott for sticking up for us and saying the quiet part out loud for once - I can’t tell you how cathartic that was to hear
That’s his schtick- don’t be fooled- he’s just a narcissist and very desperate for attention and to be worshipped for his business acumen plus social justice
You are also not the norm for millennial. Millennials are as rich now as the boomers were at that age. The country has never been richer. Wages have never been higher even adjusted for inflation. The main thing that is unique is people see how the rich live and a modest but comfortable lifestyle makes them feel poor in comparison.
@@S62r in my world personally, most millenials are living with their parents, or other family members, even with their spouse and children, working five jobs between the couples, 2 or 3 for the singles I know. They are struggling in many, many cases. They cannot afford high rents, or mortgages, or cannot get adequate loans, due to excessive student loans and daily cost of living.

Watching Don Lemon's face while he's in the middle of a rational discussion on real issues is worth a huge entertainment price. I don't think he's ever been in one of these.
I also had a good belly laugh when Scott brown nosed him when complimenting his status and "expertise" as a journalist. I think Lemon almost swooned when it was said.
@@paulbrereton5149he is an expert. What do you do? “Don Lemon (born March 1, 1966) is an American television journalist best known for being a host on CNN from 2014 until 2023. He anchored weekend news programs on local television stations in Alabama and Pennsylvania during his early days as a journalist. Lemon worked as a news correspondent for NBC on its programming, such as Today and NBC Nightly News. Lemon is also a recipient of an Edward R. Murrow Award in 2002 for his coverage of the capture of the Washington, D.C. snipers. He also received three regional Emmy Awards for his special report on real estate in Chicago and a business feature on craigslist.”
What are you even talking about? random CNN anchors or even from way smaller channels or publications were on these panels many, many times. Don is definitely in the top segment of journalists in multiple ways just because he was on one of the biggest networks for decades.
@@tamasvarga9862 Wow! Looks like the propaganda actually worked. No one from CNN should be taken seriously at any time whatsoever. They're corporate media. It has been Don Lemon's job not to rock the boat/bite the hand that feeds him for decades. No journalist who is a millionaire is trustworthy by default. Same goes with politicians. Lemon is a dummy in a suit, that's about it.
Not only that but ever notice that most people that say that r wealthy entitled people like Bill. It reminds me of the scene in caddyshack when Newman's trying to impress the judge to get the scholarship. The judge looks at him and says the world needs ditch-Diggers too.

I went in the military at 18 to get away from home & an oppressive community. As a young woman in the 80’s it was the best thing I could have done. It gave me skills, confidence, & resources that propelled me through the rest of my life even as a civilian. It also allowed me to grow up in a structured environment while still experiencing the world, as well as colleagues completely different from myself. I dearly wish the US had mandatory military or civil service for its youth. We’d be a wiser, more unified culture because of it.
we did, it was called the draft, and it was horrible. it got so bad to where it ended up being a bunch of kids right out of high school getting drafted into the military with only a few months in training then off to the Vietnam War where they just died, alot them never even experience man hood, never got a chance to know what being happy is truely about, just kids dying for a war that was not even neccesary. so mandatory military as a civil service forced upon our youth is not wise at all. Look, You went to the military because it was your own decision to go, that freedom of choice was yours to make and yours alone. It was not forced upin you as somethjmg you should be doing as a mandatory obligation. Yes it worked for you because you choose to go. Now that's much different than being forced to go. Now imagine being forced to go or otherwise go to jail, there's no structure in that, that's a choice that has no freedom in it at all. Imagine if we just drafted women and only women to the military and send them off to fight against people they have no real problems with. Would that be fair?? Hell no. Being forced or making something mandatory to do will not make us wiser or make us a more unified culture. Our freedom is what makes us unified, to be able not want to do what you are told is our culture. If you think we are not wiser or more unified because of our freedom then just speak for yourself.
Unified in conscription? I served in Afghanistan. This isn't a question, you know people in your life that you wouldn't trust holding a drink for 2 seconds let alone with your life in a foxhole..... and until the military actually starts doing what it was intended to, which is to protect this country and its citizens, giving them unlimited supply of children to indoctrinate seems counterproductive, no?
@@dreddmann9292 Vietnam split this country in half because kids were being sent over there who didn't want to go, and other kids got college deferments and started the anti-war movement -- s**tting not only on the war, but also the poor kids who had to fight there. The Pentagon decided never to let that happen again, so they retooled to an 'all volunteer military,' which has worked brilliantly because only a sliver of the population actually goes to war these days. That is how you get two major land wars in Iraq, a 20-year war in Afghanistan, and dozens of smaller interventions with barely a whimper of anti-war sentiment. Reinstate the draft and this country will seriously curtail its war habit.
People always take that to the extreme as "what are you saying, EVERYBODY has to enlist for 2-4 years at 18 and go to boot camp and eventually combat?" There's middle ground there to teach people how to be mechanics, teachers, pilots, and all sorts of professions. Sort young people out based on their skills and interests, see how they could be applied to military service. Even if it's just someone interested in culinary arts. The enlisted gotta eat and somebody has to cook. You're not going to learn the fine arts of how to craft fancy dishes and desserts but give a kid 10 hours in a hot kitchen and prepare them for what's in store in that career. If they really fit into the lifestyle and maintain a military career, great. If they hate it and want out, fine, but they'll still probably learn a lot. I dunno the older I get and think of myself at 18 I kind of wish I'd had something that pushed me into a direction and offered skills and options and gave preparation.
I agree, I hate smugness and many blue-collar workers like roofers or plumbers are leaving CA in high numbers. All these rich people in CA better learn how to fix their own s@it.
If Don has a house with a roof that'll cost him half what he earns annually to be fixed or replaced... he must have one helluva big house. STOP WHINING FFS!
Sorry to say but a lot of where we are class-wise is genetically determined. Genetics determine(not to count out nurture fully), our overall aptitude, high/low time preference, impulse control, mate selection and emotions. Climbing the socio-economic ladder is hard because most of us aren’t born with what it takes to join the class above us.
This reminds me of a quote: "The left will never help the poor because they might accidentally help white people". We need to stop looking at each other through a racial or ethnic lens. Only when we see each other as fellow humans will we finally be able to have a fair system in place.
The problem is the social model that helped perpetuate the race-based classism we still see today is well engrained in the infrastructure. Your social infrastructure funding is based on regional tax revenue, so poor neighborhoods get the least support while wealthy neighborhoods get the most support thus leading to poor people producing poor children & privileged people producing privileged children. Sure, there are those who rise above or fall below their predetermined station & as such these regions aren't as entirely one race as they used to be, but it still continues. I hear them talking about ending affirmative action & all I can think to myself is "Why?? You haven't fixed the underlying problem yet that took generations to create". We need to retool our social infrastructure, especially in regard to education, but in all other ways too so that each new generation is not punished or privileged based on what neighborhood they're born in. Will it happen? Not likely, as it is a nationwide, down-ballot issue & those with the privilege & power want to keep it.
If you paid me $5000/hr, I could do neither. My father built our house in 1966. To this day....I marvel at the brains it takes to build a good house, to drive a straight nail. Not a McMansion with a staple gun, but a solid wood house (with copper pipes). Cheers.

There’s plenty of comments on here about technical training vs. college degree. As a teacher, I have seen plenty of student follow each path. The only advice I gave to the carpenters, plumbers, electricians, personal trainers, etc. as they left my classes was to make sure that by the age of 40, they had gained the expertise to move into supervisory positions. The 40 year old body cannot do what an 18 year old one could (or at least not for much longer.) I have said for years that there should be a two-tiered retirement system in which blue collar workers got early retirement and white collar didn’t. The former have beaten down their bodies enough by 60.

I'd say it's fine to go after your dreams in your 20s because that's the time to do it. But always have a back up. Plumbing, electrician, gas fitting, air conditioning, refridgeration, all these trades are good options, and should be recommended to high school students who know they don't like school.

My brother and his friends all excelled in shop classes. Some are mechanics, others machinists and a welder. These guys all make great money.

And, they went to night school for free and made money during their training. There were no outstanding loans when they were finished school. We need guys like this. Without them, the country falls apart.
I went to college and got a teaching credential. My friend got his GED, but is AWESOME at his trade. He makes 5x more money than I do (and he deserves every penny).

He looks at my Dad, slowly shakes his head in disbelief, and says, "Really, Mr. Phelps, I can't believe you couldn't figure this out." And he collects his hundred bucks and leaves.

Someone once said, "Don't follow your passion, bring your passion with you." Meaning, put your passion into what you choose to do. Find pride and satisfaction in a job well done. We have forgotten about the quiet integrity of an honest day's work.
Hard to bring your passion with you when you hate the job and are severely underpaid your worth. A college degree should make me $25+/hr guaranteed.
Yes, this is a true statement. 👍

They keep describing affirmative action in a wrong way. Affirmative action is not for profiting black rich kids. It is to help those who deserve to be hired or given admission or promoted but doesn’t get it because of their skin color. So many people see black people in power and just feel that they are not qualified to be in that position.

the goal is not to be rich , the goal is to avoid being poor .
I couldn’t agree more with Galloway. I figured out early on chasing passions usually means you’re chasing fame through sports or the arts. Most people are in it for the wrong reasons.
The glamour of those lives is alluring I get it, but I chose a different path and I live a good life because of it. I’m teaching my kids the same.

🤡🤡🤡
True, but sounds like a bunch of dribble to me.
Wrong, the goal is to be rich. But define rich better.
My brother never went to college. He made a huge living as a contractor. Built houses for 30 years. He has more money than many college graduates.
so what?
Anecdotes are not the same as statistics. 🙂
In my country, only 2% of college/university graduates are unemployed. The average unemployment rate is around 8%.
That being said, I'm pretty sure that you can become really succesful as a contractor.
I wouldn't brag too hard about that. Rich, greedy, POS housing "developers" (I have them in my family too) is a big part of the problem. If they REALLY spent their lives building quality, fair housing for their communities, actually improving them and not just catering to the rich, to maximize PROFIT, this nation wouldn't be such an inequal $h!thole, would it? 🤔
Most people don't want to do that kind of work.
@@Zett76This isn't because of a lack of competence on the part of people who didn't go to college as you implied, this is because of a phenomenon called Credentialism, where companies will only hire people if they have X degree from Y University of their choice, even if the knowledge concomitant with the degree can be obtained by methods other than going to college (apprenticeship, autodidact, vocational schools).
Also, you'll need to say which country you're referring to, because many countries actually mandate a certain number of educational years, including college. And an 8% unemployment rate? Seems there are more economic issues under the surface that need to be factored in.

Nowadays, you can be born ugly as shit but as long as you have money, you can buy your looks. I would choose money over looks all day long.

Affirmative action based on color... the color green. I am going to steal that beautiful line so many times.

Hi Scott, I wish you were on the air more often. I do not know why High School isn't bringing back TRADE SCHOOLS. THERE GREAT JOBS, YOU LEARN A TRADE AND MAKE GREAT MONEY. LOVE YOUR POD CAST ! YOUR LISTNER J. COOR 4-26-24
@joellyncoor4976 The answer is money... and when legislators defund education you have to cut programs and trade schools, just like college, is big money business today.
Agreed: our social infrastructure is based on regional tax revenue, so poor neighborhoods get less resources for things like education, police & fire protection than rich neighborhoods leading to generations of poor neighborhoods producing poorly educated & protected kids while rich neighborhoods produce privileged kids. It was much more racial when enacted, but not it is indeed based on the color green: those with it, get to give it to their young & those without it don't. Until we level off the infrastructure playing field to undo generations of cultural inequality, ending affirmative action will only perpetuate the old race-based classism.
But it IS about race. And guess what, they’ve had scholarships for decades.

Here in FL the people who have no education are roofers and lawn mowers. It isn't the roofers that make the money - its the owners of the roofing company. Same with lawn companies and their employees. Without education in something a worker is stuck in hard labor, low paying jobs.
Until some of those employees get together and start their own landscaping business. I know a bunch of guys who have done that. The problem is getting the bigger pieces of equipment to do the higher end landscaping jobs. There are a lot of people who are starting to figure out that being the boss is hard but they get the money.
Absolutely this. Plumbers, roofers don't make shit...just like retail workers. Business owners make the coin.
My neighbor’s son decided not to attend college last year, Venice, Florida. He is 19. He’s working for a major roofing company for the time being. He’s makes $28 an hour, receives full health benefits, and receives a stipend towards attending a 2 year college or technical school. Not bad.
My nephew, 31 years old, is an iron worker in NYC. He attended a 2 year technical school 7 years ago. His salary is $85 an hour, double time on weekends.
He receives full health benefits, and a 401 k.

Its not about you becoming a roofer; its about being your own successful business. You be can b as proud to be a successful roofer as being a successful actor.
Yup. I derive a lot of pride even from my family's business. I didn't start it. My pops did. And busted ass for years, still does actually. But helped build it and run it nowadays. I also have my own side gig, but honestly, I'm kind of lazy with it as by time I'm done with the family business, I just don't care enough to go make a little extra money. I probably should, but, I really enjoy having a 1/3rd of most days for my hobbies and relaxation. I've resigned myself to not feeling bad about that.
We need good roofers. Good actors? Not so much. Value to society, actors and other entertainers are over rated and over compensated financially.

To Scotts point, I'll give the best example I can think of. My grandfather drove for UPS for 35 yrs. Now granted, the country has changed and opportunities are not the same as he had. But, he now has enough money to drive his MASSIVE RV around the country, camp, fish and hunt to his hearts content.
Obviously being in a union helped him because they forced UPS to take care of their people.
But we also have less people involved in organized labor than ever before in America.

Scott Galloway is brilliant in this clip. Affirmative action based on income is the only fair way to help the less fortunate.

People are not just discriminated against because of income. If that were the case then Black students would have been accepted to all the top academic schools in the country generations ago and there would not have been Jewish quotas for the Ivy League schools before WWII. Galloway's opinion is just another cloistered white boy's tunnel vision evaluation of the situation.
Affirmative action is the worst thing. Only merit is the war to go forward for any country. Example. Look at India. They have f*ked up the entire country with affirmative action for last 60 plus years. The politicians took advantage to no end. Try living there.
@@user-gh3di2rc3o . Yup. What a weird thing to ask.
"roofers / plumbers / lawn folks make a lot of money" is a consumer view. home repair / maintenance is a very difficult business with lots of risk when you factor in all the different economic and regulatory challenges in place. I would argue that you have to be exceptional across a number of skills beyond the repair / maintenance work itself to make a go of any of those professions. "no matter where you eat, there is no free lunch."
I've been saying this for decades: affirmative action for working class, economically vulnerable, financially insecure Americans.
That's a great quote. "Anyone who tells you to follow your passion is already rich."
He says it all the time. And it’s not really true. You can get rich by following your passion.
Sounds smart, but is trite in the end. Fearmongering over obsessively hoarding money against the oppression of the future is . . . dystopian. The U can and should do better, but is too greedy. And instead of focusing on quality of life(style), the US is constantly obsessed, both the left and right, with making and hoarding more money instead of trying to balance money with passion and, you know, happiness. The US is one of the most scared and fearmongering country in the world, particularly the First World.

I have no savings, live paycheck to paycheck, have medical issues I don’t go to a doctor for because I can’t afford them and I, like many of my generation and below, feel no real love for this country, absolutely don’t trust anyone in government, am fully aware I’m a slave who gets green coupons to barely survive, and have nothing to look forward to besides a hopefully swift, sudden, imminent death.

Don Lemon, clinging to relevancy with sweaty palms.
Don Lemon has recovered quite a bit of ground in my heart with his words in this episode of Bill Maher.
I literally went to school for physics and astronomy originally. Many years later opened my own small engine repair shop, because I'm good at it and enjoy it. Not many people who even do it anymore. So far so good. Find what you enjoy.
Watching Don Lemon's face while he's in the middle of a rational discussion on real issues is worth a huge entertainment price. I don't think he's ever been in one of these.
I also had a good belly laugh when Scott brown nosed him when complimenting his status and "expertise" as a journalist. I think Lemon almost swooned when it was said.
Spot on.
@@paulbrereton5149he is an expert. What do you do?
“Don Lemon (born March 1, 1966) is an American television journalist best known for being a host on CNN from 2014 until 2023. He anchored weekend news programs on local television stations in Alabama and Pennsylvania during his early days as a journalist. Lemon worked as a news correspondent for NBC on its programming, such as Today and NBC Nightly News. Lemon is also a recipient of an Edward R. Murrow Award in 2002 for his coverage of the capture of the Washington, D.C. snipers. He also received three regional Emmy Awards for his special report on real estate in Chicago and a business feature on craigslist.”

I went in the military at 18 to get away from home & an oppressive community. As a young woman in the 80’s it was the best thing I could have done. It gave me skills, confidence, & resources that propelled me through the rest of my life even as a civilian. It also allowed me to grow up in a structured environment while still experiencing the world, as well as colleagues completely different from myself. I dearly wish the US had mandatory military or civil service for its youth. We’d be a wiser, more unified culture because of it.
We do it's called the draft
we did, it was called the draft, and it was horrible. it got so bad to where it ended up being a bunch of kids right out of high school getting drafted into the military with only a few months in training then off to the Vietnam War where they just died, alot them never even experience man hood, never got a chance to know what being happy is truely about, just kids dying for a war that was not even neccesary. so mandatory military as a civil service forced upon our youth is not wise at all. Look, You went to the military because it was your own decision to go, that freedom of choice was yours to make and yours alone. It was not forced upin you as somethjmg you should be doing as a mandatory obligation. Yes it worked for you because you choose to go. Now that's much different than being forced to go. Now imagine being forced to go or otherwise go to jail, there's no structure in that, that's a choice that has no freedom in it at all. Imagine if we just drafted women and only women to the military and send them off to fight against people they have no real problems with. Would that be fair?? Hell no. Being forced or making something mandatory to do will not make us wiser or make us a more unified culture. Our freedom is what makes us unified, to be able not want to do what you are told is our culture. If you think we are not wiser or more unified because of our freedom then just speak for yourself.
Unified in conscription? I served in Afghanistan. This isn't a question, you know people in your life that you wouldn't trust holding a drink for 2 seconds let alone with your life in a foxhole..... and until the military actually starts doing what it was intended to, which is to protect this country and its citizens, giving them unlimited supply of children to indoctrinate seems counterproductive, no?
@@dreddmann9292 Vietnam split this country in half because kids were being sent over there who didn't want to go, and other kids got college deferments and started the anti-war movement -- s**tting not only on the war, but also the poor kids who had to fight there. The Pentagon decided never to let that happen again, so they retooled to an 'all volunteer military,' which has worked brilliantly because only a sliver of the population actually goes to war these days. That is how you get two major land wars in Iraq, a 20-year war in Afghanistan, and dozens of smaller interventions with barely a whimper of anti-war sentiment. Reinstate the draft and this country will seriously curtail its war habit.
People always take that to the extreme as "what are you saying, EVERYBODY has to enlist for 2-4 years at 18 and go to boot camp and eventually combat?" There's middle ground there to teach people how to be mechanics, teachers, pilots, and all sorts of professions. Sort young people out based on their skills and interests, see how they could be applied to military service. Even if it's just someone interested in culinary arts. The enlisted gotta eat and somebody has to cook. You're not going to learn the fine arts of how to craft fancy dishes and desserts but give a kid 10 hours in a hot kitchen and prepare them for what's in store in that career. If they really fit into the lifestyle and maintain a military career, great. If they hate it and want out, fine, but they'll still probably learn a lot. I dunno the older I get and think of myself at 18 I kind of wish I'd had something that pushed me into a direction and offered skills and options and gave preparation.

Follow your talent not your passion is great advice. You can always follow your passion on the side.
If Don has a house with a roof that'll cost him half what he earns annually to be fixed or replaced... he must have one helluva big house. STOP WHINING FFS!
He was fired not so long ago, so he's probably referring to passive income.
That's right, we need the poor to get help based upon how bad off they are, not color.
We should have those social systems in place already
Sorry to say but a lot of where we are class-wise is genetically determined. Genetics determine(not to count out nurture fully), our overall aptitude, high/low time preference, impulse control, mate selection and emotions. Climbing the socio-economic ladder is hard because most of us aren’t born with what it takes to join the class above us.
This reminds me of a quote: "The left will never help the poor because they might accidentally help white people". We need to stop looking at each other through a racial or ethnic lens. Only when we see each other as fellow humans will we finally be able to have a fair system in place.
The problem is the social model that helped perpetuate the race-based classism we still see today is well engrained in the infrastructure. Your social infrastructure funding is based on regional tax revenue, so poor neighborhoods get the least support while wealthy neighborhoods get the most support thus leading to poor people producing poor children & privileged people producing privileged children. Sure, there are those who rise above or fall below their predetermined station & as such these regions aren't as entirely one race as they used to be, but it still continues. I hear them talking about ending affirmative action & all I can think to myself is "Why?? You haven't fixed the underlying problem yet that took generations to create". We need to retool our social infrastructure, especially in regard to education, but in all other ways too so that each new generation is not punished or privileged based on what neighborhood they're born in. Will it happen? Not likely, as it is a nationwide, down-ballot issue & those with the privilege & power want to keep it.
Yes, my family struggled for years and it was always nearly impossible to get help.
Ive never heard of Galloway but wow. Great points!!!

roofing fucking sucks.
If you paid me $5000/hr, I could do neither. My father built our house in 1966. To this day....I marvel at the brains it takes to build a good house, to drive a straight nail. Not a McMansion with a staple gun, but a solid wood house (with copper pipes). Cheers.
It's a false dichotomy to say you should follow your passion or your talent. The best path is to maximize both, but not at the expense of the other.
Very well stated.
I'd love to watch Bill Maher interview some protesters and ask them if they know anything about what they are protesting.
They do, and it's not anti Semitic, it's anti genocide and starvation in GAZA, which we're paying for.
@@lindaflesch7303 A friend of mine made an interesting point a few weeks ago. She believes that it is the U.S. weapons industry (and perhaps other private organizations) which subtly provoke two sides in a conflict - Ukraine vs. Russia, Israel vs. Hamas - in order to sell more weapons.
@@lindaflesch7303 So you are differentiating the other atrocities that Maher mentioned (North Korea, China, etc.) from Israel/Gaza due to the U.S. involvement.
@@lindaflesch7303 I have relatives in Israel and have been struggling with the whole issue since October 7. Hamas has declared it wants to kill all the Jews. What do we do with that?
@cathrynory8854 well Biden went to Israel and hugged Bibi and gave him every weapon system he wanted to the tune of billions of dollars because that's what he claimed would help the most. Biden also has really pushed for a temporary ceasefire which is how so far the most hostages got released. I don't think America is forgetting about the hostages. Biden even had a hostage family as a guest at his last State of the Union.
I agree!!!!!! 💯. I’ve been saying this for years! Find what you can do, learn to like it and eventually you may be passionate about it.
"-Find the thing that you like to do. -The thing people are willing to pay you for. -And the thing you are good at."
Don lemon is the pastor of DEI
He’s such a hypocrite. He was pushing it when it involved gays and race. Suddenly it’s a problem when it bites him in the a$$. He gets fired because he comes off as arrogant and unlikable
@@llhll8264same witn Candace Owens
Don's podcast sucks, his guest's suck and he's a terrible interviewer. He has low subs, no on likes him. I have just seen clips just for the laughs.
And victimhood
So, that’s a bad thing? How about that thing that is written below the statute of liberty again, about giving me your poor and tired etc.? Wasn’t that the original DEI?
Lemon is truly such a Lemon.
What does that even mean?
When life gave Lemon lemons, he made lemon media out of it.
Bitterness ?
You sound like someone who's just a hater. Tonite gave you no reason to write that.
@@detroitdiezel7856 You are from Detroit and you don't know the meaning of "a lemon?" A lemon is a car (or other thing) that looks good, but does not run.
He's right.
I was an auto mechanic for a couple years out of high school. Left that to run a machine at a manufacturing company for 28 years. Now with a different manufacturer for last 2.5 years. Became a millionaire by 50 years old doing this. Am not in management in any manner. Just an hourly worker on the floor. A damn good one. I love my job, because I'm very good at it, and get compensated accordingly.
Don Lemon calling anyone a phony is the real joke.
Don the Con !
Who trusts this guy
There’s plenty of comments on here about technical training vs. college degree. As a teacher, I have seen plenty of student follow each path. The only advice I gave to the carpenters, plumbers, electricians, personal trainers, etc. as they left my classes was to make sure that by the age of 40, they had gained the expertise to move into supervisory positions. The 40 year old body cannot do what an 18 year old one could (or at least not for much longer.)
I have said for years that there should be a two-tiered retirement system in which blue collar workers got early retirement and white collar didn’t. The former have beaten down their bodies enough by 60.
Lemon is such a jerk.
Scott Galloway. I like what he had to say. We need a system to help people find what they are great at and become better at it. Then that most of the time becomes there pasion.
Find your talent! Find out what youre good at!!
AMEN
Terrible advice.
@nickbarcheck1019 so go into something you either no nothing about or you're not well verse in?
Explain
...or, you can just DECIDE to become good at something - without this ridiculous "ambition" of wanting to become the best.
Becoming a great writer, for example, can take decades.
@@TheRealDeal1438 So just because you're good as something it should become your career? That's dumb. I'm good at walking around the block how exactly do I monetize that?
@nickbarcheck1019 carpentry, mechanic, electrician, nursing, if your skilled at those positions you shouldn't make them your career. Okay gotcha
Sometimes your talent and passion come together. They say if you love your job you never have to work a day in your life.
My Dad LOVED games, all games, dice, board, video, card, D&D... At age 45 a casino was coming to Ontario, he trained for a few months and began the day Casino Rama opened, dealing card tables. He LOVED his job!!! He said it was never "work", he worked there until he passed away.
That's mostly horseshit.
@@nickbarcheck1019 are you referencing my comment?
@@coraleahs No the other person. Whether you love your job or not it's still work.
@@nickbarcheck1019 in my Dads case, it really was not... he got paid to deal cards, play games, meet interesting people, and he really did not feel it was "work".. some folks are lucky I guess♡
Bill missed the question. The question was “how many great talents don’t find success” not “how many successful people don’t have talent?”
Dwayne Johnson epitomizes the second question.
@@Criner05 I know you wanted to make a zinger here, but the rock in wwe is actually insanely talented. He's been proving that the last few months and it's why he became popular in the first place.
@@brentappenrott1756 My comment was in regard to his acting career.
Mr. Maher, dearest - thank you for pointing out things like, "Land For Peace".
The lack of understanding is chocking.
The statement Don Lemon "an award winning journalist" should be labeled disinfo. Include a context bubble
👍👍👍!!! I think Lemon almost swooned when Scott said it.
It's true. He has an Emmy an an Edward R. Murrow award. What's on your shelf?
@@JaymoJoints Ya and the Washington Post won 2 Pulitzer's for promoting the Russia Collusion hoax. Not for uncovering that Hilary was responsible, but for promoting the lie. That should tell you what awards mean. Obama received the Nobel Peace prize? A prize created by Alfred Nobel the one responsible for the creation of dynamite. The prize was an attempt to reinvent his reputation after he read a newspaper thatmistakenly wrote his obituary and labeled him the "merchant of death". Can you see the irony? Don't be so gullible and foolish. Then again you probably still think Trump is a Russian agent...BTW my trophy's and awards moved from a shelf to a room long ago.
@JaymoJoints and Obama won the Nobel Peace prize and dropped more bombs, and killed more people than the 3 presidents combined prior to his presidency. Awards, in other words, are meaningless.
Intergity, honesty, morality, oh yah, no one gives recognition for those things.@@JaymoJoints
Lol rich dudes going on about how talented and hard working they are, without realising there are hundreds of millions world wide cut from the same cloth, some collect garbage 14 hours a day, others die from preventable diseases, and some are just killed. These 3 guys are truly great comedians, sometimes without even meaning to be...
I don't think you were listening very well if this is what you got out of it
@Utracia1 no you don't think
I think they made the point that you're trying to make. You just didn't pick up on it
Don’t follow your passion! Come fix my fuckin’ roof!!
I think it's important to remember that we are all connected in this complex society, professions/jobs of all types should be respected if they operate in good faith. The infrastructure would fall apart without blue collar people building and maintaining it.
Amen.
Please correct your statement. Half the time they get stiffed by their employers because there immigration status is ? And the roofer has no recourse.
Ask yourself how easily you can be replaced? That is your value in the workplace.
Everyone is replaceable
Develop the skills required to not be easily replaceable. Become valuable.
@@elbaumgit honestly doesnt matter, a job will replace you no matter how much you bust your ass.
@@drunkflamingolivespeak for yourself 🤓 🖕
@@elbaumg it doesn’t matter though as the vast majority of people are replaceable.. very few people are uniquely talented enough to where they can be easily replaced
I'd say it's fine to go after your dreams in your 20s because that's the time to do it. But always have a back up. Plumbing, electrician, gas fitting, air conditioning, refridgeration, all these trades are good options, and should be recommended to high school students who know they don't like school.
Nobody likes school dude. Life's not about just doing things you like to do. Most people hate their jobs. That's life!
This is the first time I’ve ever seen a clip of this show. And it’s because Scott Galloway was on it. 😅
Great episode, Love the guests!
I tell people to follow their passion all the time, and I make comparatively low income but I love my job and wake up everyday happy because of what I do.
A panel discussion by 3 dudes fighting each other who is the richest while being watched mostly by people who are struggling with the rent.
The average Bill Maher viewer isn't struggling with the rent.
A panel discussion entertaining people that have nothing to do with their free time
I watch for free as it’s become more of a time filler and super not relevant in many cases. If you know the truth behind stories or watched for a while you can see Bill has no soul and propagandizes. He pretends not to know things which is a giveaway to me. His show is for the poor but in the way rat poison is FOR rats.
@@nickbarcheck1019 🎯
Roofers CHARGE a lot because 90c of each dollar goes to their risk insurance.
My brother and his friends all excelled in shop classes. Some are mechanics, others machinists and a welder. These guys all make great money. They have nice houses, nice cars and lots of toys such as motorcycles, snowmobiles, boats and classic muscle cars. They make more money than most people I know with university degrees. And, they went to night school for free and made money during their training. There were no outstanding loans when they were finished school. We need guys like this. Without them, the country falls apart.
sometimes your passion and talents both follow your decision because of how resolute they are.
I went to college and got a teaching credential. My friend got his GED, but is AWESOME at his trade. He makes 5x more money than I do (and he deserves every penny).
I can't fix my plumbing, electricity, or my car. I am so grateful to those who can. I always tell my students this story. We do a great disservice by encouraging college without encouraging the trades.
Literally no one discourages trades. Idk how this narrative is being pushed with a straight face
In America education isn't free. Doing anything costs time and money. That's why people choose their passion.
My Dad (teacher) used to tell this story of needing to call a repairman when the washing machine went out. Guy shows up, and it's one of his former students, a real low-achieving guy, almost a mouth-breather. So the former student takes a quick look, jiggles some things around, and has the machine working within five minutes. He looks at my Dad, slowly shakes his head in disbelief, and says, "Really, Mr. Phelps, I can't believe you couldn't figure this out." And he collects his hundred bucks and leaves.
It's so nice that you are happy for your friend's success. We need lots more people like you in the world.
Bill has been reading the comments after mentioning the roofing job 😂
I can't help getting the feeling that the professor is just a second or two from exploding. He just comes across as really pissed-off.
Well, you'd be pissed off too if you had to pretend that the other guest had any credible opinions.
