CHUCK WOOLERY IS CONSERVATIVE AND LIKES TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT
IT.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO CHUCK WOOLERY IS, HE IS A GAME SHOW
HOST.
WORKS REALLY, REALLY HARD.
SO HE'S GOING TO GO ON TV AND
YELL AT PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING MINIMUM WAGE.
THIS OUGHT TO BE
CLASSY, LET'S WATCH.
I THINK IT IS THE LIBERAL'S JOB TO TAKE THE SIMPLE AND MAKE
IT AS COMPLEX AS POSSIBLE.
I THINK IT IS THE CONSERVATIVE'S
JOB, AND WE DON'T DO A GOOD JOB OF IT, TO TAKE THE COMPLEX AND
MAKE IT AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE.
SO WE TRY TO TAKE THESE ISSUES
LIKE THE THINGS THAT SOUND REALLY GOOD, THIS KNEE-JERK
REACTION, 15 BUCKS AN HOUR, MY SON IS 20 YEARS OLD, HE WOULD
LOVE TO MAKE $15 AN HOUR, I WOULD LOVE FOR HIM TO.
BUT IT
LITERALLY JUST HURTS BUSINESS.
YOU HAVE TO EARN YOUR WAY IN
THIS WORLD, AND IF IT COSTS THEM 15 BUCKS AN HOUR AND YOU ARE A
SMALL BUSINESS AND IT WAS THE BUSINESS, WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO?
AND PEOPLE JUST DON'T THINK THAT THROUGH, THEY DON'T REASON IT
THROUGH.
AND THEY HAVE A KNEE-JERK REACTION LIKE,
15 BUCKS AN HOUR, GREAT.
IT SOUNDS GREAT.
AND MINIMUM WAGE, THESE ARE PEOPLE STARTING OFF, THEY
ARE NOT PEOPLE WHO HAVE FAMILIES, BY AND LARGE.
THAT IS NOT TRUE.
THAT IS BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU
ARE TALKING ABOUT, BECAUSE YOU COME AT IT FROM AN ENORMOUS
WEALTHY PERSPECTIVE.
AND WHO ARE YOU KIDDING?
WE DON'T KNOW HIS
SALARY, BUT I WILL GIVE YOU SOME SALARIES OF TALKSHOW AND GAME
SHOW HOSTS TO GIVE YOU CONTEXT.
YOUR SON IS DYING FOR $15 AN
HOUR DROP, YOUR SON IS IN AN ANOMALY WEALTHY FAMILY, SO DON'T
PATRONIZE US.
OH YEAH, MY SON WOULD LOVE THAT.
I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING AT YOUR SONS I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO YOUR SON, BUT I
KNOW WHEN SOMEONE IS BEING DISINGENUOUS.
I WILL GET TO THE
SALARY IN A SECOND.
SECONDLY, THESE ARE JUST KIDS THAT ARE
GETTING UP IN THE WORLD THAT ARE GETTING MINIMAL WAGE.
THAT IS
YOUR OLD WAY OF THINKING FROM THE 1950S.
IN THIS DAY AND AGE
THAT IS NOT THE CASE AT ALL.
LET ME GIVE YOU THE FACTS -- IN 2014
THE AVERAGE AGE FOR A MINIMUM WAGE WORKER HAD RISEN TO 35
YEARS OLD, AND 88% OF EMPLOYS EARNING THE MINIMUM WAGE WERE
OLDER THAN 20 YEARS OF AGE.
SO THIS ISN'T THE OLD DAYS WHEN IT
WAS LIKE, THAT IS YOUR FIRST JOB, IT IS THE ONLY TIME YOU GET
MINIMUM WAGE.
NO, THEY ARE 35 YEARS OLD, GROWN MEN, BECAUSE IT
IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO GET JOBS IN THIS ECONOMY BUT YOU WOULDN'T
KNOW THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE A GAME SHOW HOST.
SO HE WILL GO ON HERE, TALKING ABOUT NONSENSE.
I THINK IT IS THE LIBERAL'S JOB TO TAKE THE SIMPLE AND
MAKE IT AS COMPETENT
IT IS FLIPPED ON ITS HEAD, IN THE 50S IN HOLLYWOOD IF YOU
SPOKE AGAINST -- FOR COMMUNISM YOU WERE BLACKBALLED.
IN THE 90S
AND 2000 AND HOLLYWOOD, IF YOU SPEAK FOR COMMUNISM, YOU ARE
REWARDED FOR IT.
BUT IF YOU SPEAK AGAINST COMMUNISM, YOU ARE
BLACKBALLED.
SO EVERYTHING IS FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN.
NOBODY IS PRAISED FOR SPEAKING IN FAVOR OF COMING TO
SOME.
IS HE TALKING ABOUT BERNIE SANDERS, WHO IS A DEMOCRATIC
SOCIALIST, LIKE THE KIND OF SOCIALISM YOU SEE IN NORTHERN
EUROPE?
THEY ARE NOT COMMUNISTS.
WHAT A PREPOSTEROUS THING TO
SAY.
IN HOLLYWOOD THEY ARE LIKE, YOU ARE A COMMUNIST, FANTASTIC.
LET ME GIVE YOU MORE MONEY AND PRAISE.
THIS IS A HYPERBOLIC WAY
OF SPEAKING FROM SOMEONE WHO IS DETACHED FROM REALITY.
WHAT HAS
CHUCK REDONE IN HIS LIFE?
LET ME SHOW YOU THE IMPORTANT SHOWS HE
HAS HOSTED.
WHEEL OF FORTUNE, LOVE CONNECTION, THE BIG SPIN,
SCRABBLE, THE HOME AND FAMILY SHOW, THE DATING GAME, I LOVE
THIS ONE -- GREED -- LINGO, THE CHUCKLE RATIO, THE PRICE IS
RIGHT LIVE, AND SAVE US CHUCK WOOLERY.
HE HAS WORKED HARD.
WE
DON'T KNOW HIS SALARY EXACTLY, BUT TO GIVE YOU CONTEXT, PAT
SAJAK, WHO NOW HAS THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE JOB, MAKES A REPORTED
$12 BILLION A YEAR.
JUDGE JUDY HAS ANOTHER SYNDICATED SHOW ON
TV, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH SHE MAKES?
$47 MILLION A YEAR.
HE IS NOT
JUDGE JUDY, AND I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF HE EVEN MADE AS
MUCH AS PAT SAJAK.
BY THE WAY, HE THOUGHT HE WAS A TOUGH GUY,
THE REASON HE LOST THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE JOB WAS HE TRIED TO
NEGOTIATE FOR A HIGHER SALARY, THEY BUMPED HIS SALARY UP I
THINK THE 500,000, HE WAS LIKE, I WANT $1 MILLION.
THIS WAS
DECADES AGO.
AND THEY ARE LIKE, YEAH, YOU ARE FIRED.
WELL
PLAYED.
NONETHELESS, HE MADE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM
DOING THE EASIEST JOB IN THE WORLD.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH GAME
SHOW HOSTS WORK?
THIS WILL DEPRESS YOU.
ON AVERAGE THEY DO
ABOUT EIGHT WEEKS OF WORK A YEAR.
THEY TAPE ALL THOSE SHOWS
AT ONCE.
SO THEY WILL GO IN AND TAKE FIVE SHOWS, 10 SHOWS, 20
SHOWS, THEY WILL WORK EIGHT WEEKS AND THEN THEY ARE DONE.
THEN THEY GO HOME AND SIT AT HOME FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR
EATING THEIR MONEY.
THEIR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
THEN THEY
GO ON FOX NEWS AND YELL AT PEOPLE MAKING THE MINIMUM WAGE.
YOU WANT A HIGHER MINIMUM WAGE?
YOU WANT UP TO $50 IN OUR QUEST
BY THAT IS SO UNREALISTIC.
OH MR.
GAME SHOW HOST, TELL US WHAT
ELSE IS REALISTIC.
GOD, MAN -- JUST HAVE THE DECENCY TO SHUT
THE FUCK UP AND STAY HOME.
YOUNG TURKS.
