 Lawmakers in California are considering a new law that would be amazing for workers And if this applies to you, I don't know how you'd be against it because I feel like it's almost objectively good So what am I talking about? Well as CBS News explains assembly member Christina Garcia has Cosponsored a bill to make the state's official work week 32 hours for companies with 500 or more employees Any work done past that cutoff would come with a hefty raise Employers would be required to pay time and a half to workers whose hours run over 32 hours a week and Work stretching past 12 hours a day or into seven days a week would be paid at double the normal wage Employers subject to the law which would apply to 20% of California's workforce Also would be barred from reducing people's pay if they work less than their standard work week Garcia told CBS News So if I were to call up any of my former co-workers Regardless of what shitty job it was subway Walmart, you name it Conservative liberal all of them would say This sounds incredible. Hell. Yes. I want this because it is obviously the case that we are one of the most Overworked countries and nowadays people are working longer hours for lower wages And finally people are standing up and demanding better treatment better pay and so I love this This is an incredible idea. So who would be against this? Take a guess The talking heads over to Fox News and they're not just against this They think that this is basically the beginning of the end and I wish that I were joking about that But this is actually something that they said in response to the idea of a four-day work week Take a look. Okay. Let me tell you what's gonna happen If you're in a country if you're in a company with more than 500 employees, you have to work 32 hours instead of 40 hours That means every everybody else is gonna say I only want to work 32 hours or I'm gonna quit my job Okay, and the problem then is that after 32 hours are gonna say oh, I only want to work 25 hours This is the beginning of the end as far as I'm concerned. Okay, nobody wants to work anymore Everybody's lazy the pandemic's a mess people are walking around in pajamas in the supermarket They go to church in their pajamas. I don't get it. That's all I have to say. Nobody's wants to work You know the the problem with keeping businesses open Greg is is critical now. I mean they the restaurants closed now Monday and Tuesday You know they shorten hours. There's no one it's destroying my social life Then that's what when it starts when it starts hurting me. I care But you know what? I think they realize they realize in a 40 hour week 40 hour week Maybe at most you work 32 hours There's a lot of inefficiency built in the in the workplace including even coming and going to work having a lot I never understood a lunch hour, but then again, I don't have kids I don't need to run to the you know to do errands So I just sit around and I always have you know my I pull a Jesse and have my assistant do everything But you know what? This is gonna be this is gonna end up turning us into a virtual reality cocoon Everybody's just gonna evolve and just staying home. They're gonna get everything they need at their house They're gonna get really large and the only people that are gonna be in the outside world or the people who can't afford the inside world Jesse has the the appearance of Therese Bueller type person, but he works very hard Thanks, Geraldo. Is that a question? Here's what I think Geraldo. I've stopped caring about the Millennials Californians Here's why I used to feel sorry for California. I used to try to fix California. We have to do this. We have to do that No, what do we care? Yep, they voted for these people. This is a democracy It's on you guys if you guys want to have homeless tent cities with meth heads running around and get free food and free Cash, you guys do you will be normal in the rest of the 49 we can't help California They have to help themselves. They got a lot of data like France. They do have but not ours That's funny that you say that I wrote France right here on my favorite because if you want to be more like France There's a eat more croissants Don't go this route. The other thing is they did in France if you look at their economy, they're terrible But also for a while they were like, well, we don't really want to put our defense money in the NATO because it's like We want to spend money other than we don't have enough. Okay. I'm not trying to do a French accent. Um, You're not allowed. Yes, you are the employer is not allowed to Contact you on the weekend. It is illegal for an email to be sent to you on the weekend in France, for example And here's the other thing if a company things that they can attract more talent by saying you're gonna work 32 hours a week at this salary great, but the government shouldn't tell people to do that I think Greg would be in prison if he was Hilarious now what they said was obviously idiotic, but I feel like Even they don't believe the things that they're saying I think that they know they're expected to be purposefully hyperbolic But the way they said it that just leads me to believe that even they don't believe the bullshit that's coming out of their mouths How can you be against this? I mean, is it really that absurd to think that maybe people just working one day less? Might be a good thing Are we supposed to just work until we die? Are we not allowed as human beings to enjoy life to travel to spend time with our families to just Sit around and maybe play video games smoke weed once in a while Is it really that bad if we enjoy this short life that we have is that really? Calls for you to say this is the beginning of the end. I Mean if you watch this if you're a Fox News viewer and you watch that How do you not feel insulted? Because they're calling you lazy. They're saying you should be working 40 hours a week at a minimum 32 hours I mean what are you lazy? They're calling you lazy. They're suggesting that you don't work enough now Maybe perhaps Fox News's audience watches that and they think oh, they're definitely not talking about me They're talking about millennials. They're talking about other people. I'm a hard worker. No, they're talking about you They're saying all this hard work that you put in that you don't really see paying off You don't even know if you'll be able to retire. You can't put your kids through college They're saying you're lazy in spite of how hard you work. Why would you watch this and be loyal to Fox News? They're against the most basic thing just being able to live your life and not be worked to fucking death What people are asking for is literally One less day per week. That's it We're still saying with this law for the majority of the days that you wake up You're going to go to work out of you know, a seven day days per week. You're gonna go to work for four of those days And they melt down. It's it's just absurd. So Janine Pirro said that means everyone else is gonna say I only want to work 32 hours or I'm gonna quit my job. Good Good, I think that it's really important for employees to have more bargaining power She says and the problem is that after 32 hours, they're gonna say, oh, I only want to work 25 hours This is the beginning of the end as far as I'm concerned Really, Janine Pirro, you really think that this is the beginning of the end of what? America the workforce and the slippery slope argument is a fallacy They're asking for 32 if they wanted 25 They would ask for 25 and I think maybe it makes more sense Perhaps strategically to ask for 25 hours because assuming that there's gonna be people against this then maybe you meet in the middle And you actually get what you want with 32 hours and even if people ask for 25 hours a week Great, I think that having more time to live your life and enjoy your existence your short existence on this rock is An objectively good thing But she says no Nobody wants to work and Everyone is lazy. It seems like nobody wants to work these days This is coming from somebody who is a multimillionaire and she gets paid what millions of dollars per year from Fox News and what is her job? To blab for a living I Mean maybe people would enjoy their lives more Janine Pirro if they could just Talk bullshit all fucking day like you do like your job is easy and you think you're working But actually people who are working they have jobs that they fucking hate not everyone is lucky enough to land a job Where they talk for a living you fucking insufferable elitist prick. I Mean you think that oh well I show up to work every day. It's easy for me Of course, it's easy for you anyone who talks for a living is Gonna have more enjoyment with their job. I also talk for a living. It's very easy I could say that this is very simple right now not even gonna break a sweat So shut the fuck up, okay? People who work these jobs who show up every single day for an employer who abuses them exploits them and doesn't even care about them This is about them having better lives. Are you honestly against that? Do you honestly think that people shouldn't be allowed to spend more time with their families? I thought that Fox News and conservatives were pro family seems like you're against families now Godfeld also said this is gonna end up turning us into a virtual reality cocoon Everybody's just gonna evolve into staying home. They're gonna get everything they need at their house They're going to be really large and the only people who are gonna be on the outside world are the people who can't afford to be on The inside world. I think that if you were to ask Greg Gutfeld what he means by that I don't even think he knows what that means We're not talking about Ending work. We're talking about having one extra day and I'm sure that a lot of these Employers, they're just gonna pay their workers the time and a half. They're not Going to let them work four days a week. I mean, I hope that that is the actual outcome of this legislation But this isn't that big of a deal and you think it's going to fundamentally restructure society if anything It improves society for the better because people get to have more free time Maybe people will be less irritable. Maybe they'll be more polite if they don't feel as if the little time that they have outside of their job You know is is always coming to an end. I mean You you get off of work on Friday and then before you know it the weekends over having that one extra day per week Would make a huge huge difference for mental health for, you know, morale overall so I just I Don't understand why they think this is compelling your audience is largely made up of just normal people and you're insulting them and They don't even realize how tone deaf they sound and Jesse Waters said you voted for this, you know in the context of California doing something good introducing four-day work weeks. He's like well we can just you know We don't have to care about California. You all voted for this. That's not the own that you think it is That's not the only you think it is They voted for politicians who are saying we should basically give them more time or money. I Just I don't think that they realize how out of touch they sound get your fucking ass up and work
