Sep 3, 2022 – During a recent press conference, White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre explicitly declared that anyone who disagrees with the majority of Americans is, by definition, an extremist. She intended for her remarks to be about Trump’s MAGA supporters, but could have just as easily meant her own boss, Joe Biden, who adopts a decidedly minority position on a number of issues, including opposition to Medicare for All and marijuana legalization as well as refusing to push for a $15 federal minimum wage. Guess Biden’s the extremist, after all!
Jimmy and America’s comedian Kurt Metzger are joined by The Duran hosts Alexander Mercouris and Alex Christoforou to discuss the myriad ways Joe Biden is out of touch with the American public.

The value of the federal minimum wage has reached its lowest point in 66 years, according to an EPI analysis of recently released Consumer Price Index (CPI) data.

At that time, the federal minimum wage was 75 cents per hour, or $7.19 in June 2022 dollars.
