Podcasts about Watt

BIBLIOTECA SUBMERSA é a nova série de episódios do Podcast da Raphus Press, uma ironia bastante séria com o conceito de canônico e marginal, de popular e elitista, de aceito e não aceito, a partir das obras de autores que, aparentemente, tinham alguma influência (ou relevância) de certas obras ou autores no passado e que, hoje, parecem ausentes das livrarias, cadernos culturais, canais de vídeo na Internet. Nossa inspiração é Jorge Luis Borges e uma conhecida citação de Virginia Woolf: “Livros usados são selvagens, destituídos; surgem em grandes bandos de penas variadas e possuem certo encanto que falta aos volumes domesticados de uma biblioteca.” Episódio de hoje:  Um livro desaparecido ("The Aestethe Hagiographer", de Derek John)Obras citadas: "The Aestethe Hagiographer", Derek John (Ex Occidente Press, 2012); “Histórias de livros perdidos”, Giorgio van Straten (Editora Unesp, 2018); “In Our Deep Vaulted Cell”, Derek John in “Transactions of the Flesh”, D.

June 10, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 148 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers claiming P Aidan Laros off waivers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday. We go over what we know about Pittsburgh's new punter and the team deciding to release WR Brandon Johnson to make room for him on the roster. The Steelers are winding down their final early offseason practices this week and with two sessions remaining, we go over what HC Mike McCarthy had to say during his Tuesday media session. We go deeper into what McCarthy had to say about TE Darnell Washington and rookie RB/WR Eli Heidenreich. We also discuss the roster chances of the latter. Rookie QB Drew Allar spoke to the media on Tuesday, so we discuss the key things he had to say during his session. We also talk briefly about what OG Mason McCormick had to say on Tuesday as well. A few Steelers players plan on training in Wisconsin with T.J. Watt, so Alex and I make sure to cover that latest tidbit. Alex recently wrote about a few overarching team stats that the Steelers posted in 2025 that the team should hope to duplicate in 2026. We also attempt to add two more to his list of three. How soon will the Steelers be looking at a new stadium? On the heels of former Steelers QB Charlie Batch talking about that topic this week, Alex and I provide our own thoughts and possible answers to that new stadium question. This 70-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above, and we make sure to answer a few listener emails we have received to close out this show. steelersdepot.comsteelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Joe thinks it's going to take $50 million guaranteed for Joey Porter Jr.'s deal. Mark Kaboly thinks the Steelers have "no choice" but to extend Porter. Mark thinks Porter is likely going to hold-in like T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward. Steelers are poised to "purge the roster of older gentleman" after this season with older players like Cam Heyward and others potentially being gone if this season goes poorly.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Mark Kaboly: Drew Allar and Will Howard are the only quarterbacks at OTAs. Rookies will be in the building next week too. He is trying to fix things with his mechanics. Mike McCarthy wants Allar and Howard to do footwork his way. Mark Kaboly thinks the Steelers have "no choice" but to extend Porter. Mark thinks Porter is likely going to hold-in like T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward. Steelers are poised to "purge the roster of older gentleman" after this season with older players like Cam Heyward and others potentially being gone if this season goes poorly.

Warum mache ich das eigentlich noch? Diese Frage hat sich Florian Angert in den vergangenen Jahren wohl öfter gestellt. Nach Erfolgen auf höchstem Niveau folgten schwierige Saisons, fehlende Bestätigung durch Rennen, Sponsorverlust und Phasen, in denen selbst die Motivation fürs tägliche Training verschwand. Wir sprechen über die Schattenseiten des Profisports, das Vergleichen mit anderen, echte Freundschaften in Krisenzeiten und darüber, warum Florian heute wieder mit Vorfreude statt Druck auf seine Zukunft blickt.Danke an die heutigen Werbepartner: Jan Wolfgarten Swimming & athleteXhubWerbepartner 1: Jan Wolfgarten Swimming / Kraulschwimm-SeminareKleine Gruppen.

Alex Highsmith was back at Steelers OTAs and participated on Monday. Nick doesn't think there is any ill-will that Nick Herbig is making more money. Nick doesn't think Highsmith will hold-out or hold-in. T.J. Watt could have less than 82% of the snaps and could be the way to keep Herbig and Highsmith with good snaps. Crowley thinks Porter Jr. and Dean could be one of the best corner duos in the league, and Nick agrees. Ramsey is going to play safety and slot corner. He thinks Jaquon Brisker is going to play 80-85% of the snaps, DeShon Elliott 70-75%.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Alex Highsmith was back at Steelers OTAs and participated on Monday. Nick doesn't think there is any ill-will that Nick Herbig is making more money.

SpaceX, Amazone, Nvidia của Mỹ, Softbank của Nhật, Brookfield của Canada, hay MGX của Các Tiểu Vương Quốc Ả Râp Thống Nhất.. đầu tư hàng chục tỷ đô la vào Pháp để xây dựng các trung tâm xử lý dữ liệu data center. Đâu là những lợi thế của Pháp trong mắt các nhà đầu tư công nghệ ? Phúc hay họa khi trở thành « sân sau » của những nhà cung cấp dịch vụ trong thời đại digital ? 80 % các dịch vụ tin học tại châu Âu đều phụ thuộc vào các nhà cung cấp ở Mỹ : Các data center cho phép Paris tự chủ về công nghệ kỹ thuật số với Hoa Kỳ ? Tại hội nghị kêu gọi đầu tư nước ngoài vào Pháp Choose France hôm 01/06/2026, Pháp đã nhận được hơn 90 tỷ euro : Phần lớn trong số hơn 70 dự án tập trung vào lĩnh vực trí tuệ nhân tạo và công nghiệp số. Bất chấp rất nhiều khó khăn về địa chính trị hiện tại, trong 7 năm liên tiếp, Pháp vẫn là địa điểm đầu tư hấp dẫn tại châu Âu trong mắt các nhà đầu tư quốc tế, theo thăm dò của cơ quan tư vấn EY. Trước ngày khai mạc hội nghị tập đoàn Nhật Bản Softbank đã thông báo đầu tư 45 tỷ euro tại Pháp từ nay đến năm 2031 để xây dựng các trung tâm xử lý dữ liệu data center. Nhìn xa hơn nữa Softbank cam kết đầu tư đến 75 tỷ tại Pháp để « xây dựng cơ sở hạ tầng phục vụ công nghệ AI ». Sáng lập viên tập đoàn Nhật Bản này, Masayoshi Son kể lại ông đã gặp tổng thống Macron tại Tokyo hai tháng trước đây. Khi đó nguyên thủ Pháp đã hỏi nhà đầu tư này liệu có thể nhanh chóng thông báo một chương trình đầu tư vào Pháp hay không và ông câu trả lời của chủ nhân Softbank là có. Masayoshi Son giải thích với báo chí Paris là đã quyết định đầu tư 75 tỷ euro để phát triển trí tuệ nhân tạo bởi nhân loại đang « bước vào thời đại của AI. Những quốc gia có cơ sở hạ tầng cần thiết cho lĩnh vực còn rất mới mẻ này sẽ nắm giữ một vai trò then chốt trong tương lai cả về công nghiệp lẫn công nghệ và đối với nhân loại ». 352 data center sử dụng 3,2 % tiêu thụ điện trên toàn quốc Tổng thống Macron từ khi lên cầm quyền năm 2017 luôn xem thu hút vốn đầu tư nước ngoài là một ưu tiên. Ông đã chín lần chủ trì hội nghị Choose France tại lâu đài Versailles, ngoại ô Paris, với những khách mời sáng giá nhất trong giới tài chính, công nghiệp của Hoa Kỳ, Nhật Bản, châu Âu và trước chiến tranh Ukraina cũng đã có không ít các doanh nhân Nga tham dự. Riêng năm nay, trí tuệ nhân tạo, data center, công nghệ digital … đặc biệt được quan tâm. Tháng 2/2025 với hội nghị « hành động vì AI » Emmanuel Macron đã nuôi tham vọng, với 67 triệu dân, Pháp cũng có thể trở thành một mắt xích quan trọng trong thời đại công nghệ số, và là một « trung tâm quốc tế » về AI. Sức hút các data center của Pháp   Hiện tại Pháp đã có 350 data center và mục tiêu xây dựng thêm 60 trung tâm khác nữa trên toàn quốc trong 10 năm nữa. Đó sẽ là những trung tâm có công suất ngày càng lớn cho phép Paris giải quyết cùng lúc hai vấn đề : giảm mức độ phụ thuộc vào các cơ sở hạ tầng công nghệ số của Hoa Kỳ, và đẩy mạnh các hoạt động kinh tế của Pháp. Trên con đường chinh phục các nhà đầu tư trong lĩnh vực digital, Pháp có nhiều lợi thế, mà đầu tiên hết là khả năng sản xuất điện, như giải thích của François Monnier, tổng biên tập tuần báo tài chính Investir : « Điện khí hóa là một điểm mạnh của châu Âu mà đứng đầu bảng là Pháp. Hơn nữa đây là một lĩnh vực đang phát triển rất mạnh. Để đáp ứng nhu cầu của các trung tâm quản lý dữ liệu data center thì Pháp có nhiều tập đoàn lớn rất có uy tín như là như Schneider Electric chuyên cung cấp các dịch vụ, tìm kiếm những  giải pháp năng lượng đáp ứng nhu cầu cho các tập đoàn trong lĩnh vực công nghệ số … hay là Legrand chuyên cung cấp các thiết bị điện hay tập đoàn năng lượng. Lĩnh vực trí tuệ  nhân tạo chiếm 25 % doanh thu của Legrand. Còn Axens hiện diện trong nhiều lĩnh vực từ lọc dầu, hóa dầu xử lý năng lượng tái tạo, xử lý nước ».  Antoine Fournier, chủ tịch cơ quan tư vấn Thésée DataCenter ghi nhận : Các khoản đầu tư lẽ ra đổ về những quốc gia khác ở châu Âu, như Đức hay Hà Lan đang chuyển hướng về Pháp, bởi Pháp có một vị trí địa lý « trung tâm ». Điện hạt nhân Theo lời Régis Casstané tổng giám đốc chi nhánh tại Pháp của tập đoàn Equinix (nhà cung cấp thiết bị cho các data center lớn nhất thế giới), từ 2022 giá năng lượng của Pháp rẻ hơn so với một số quốc gia khác (như là Đức phải phụ thuộc vào khí đốt của Nga), Pháp lại có các nhà máy điện hạt nhân, lá chủ bài của Pháp trong mắt các nhà đầu tư AI và data center. Bởi vì trung tâm xử lý dữ liệu là một « nguồn tiêu thụ năng lượng vô cùng lớn », cần có nhiều điện để vận hành. …   Theo thẩm định của cơ quan quốc gia Pháp về năng lượng và môi trường ADEM, tiêu thụ điện của 350 data center sẽ tương đương với mức tiêu thụ của « hơn một chục thành phố với trên 100 ngàn dân » và đó là những « cực hút đến 3 % nguồn điện trên toàn quốc ». Đáng quan ngại hơn nữa là các trung tâm data đó ngày càng lớn « ngày càng cần nhiều năng lượng để hoạt động, do vậy trong hơn 10 năm nữa, nhu cầu về điện dành riêng cho các trung tâm này sẽ tăng lên gấp 4 lần so với hiện nay ». Năm 2025, điều trần trước một ủy ban tại Hạ Viện, Eric Schmidt cựu chủ tịch tổng giám đốc Google từng kêu gọi các dân biểu Mỹ đầu tư vào cơ sở hạ tầng điện lực : « Chúng ta cần nhất hiện nay là điện và nhu cầu rất, rất lớn. Nếu quý vị cho phép nói thẳng, thì tôi xin thưa rằng, chúng tôi mong đợi Hạ Viện phát triển điện lực, bất kỳ dưới hình thức nào, đó có thể là năng lượng tái tạo, là nhiệt điện. Miễn làm sao chúng ta có khả năng đáp ứng nhu cầu tiêu thụ và phải nhanh chóng đạt được mục đích này » Điều đó cho thấy vì sao mà các « ông lớn » trong thế giới công nghệ của Mỹ đua nhau chạy sang Pháp đầu tư. Gilles Babinet, tác giả cuốn « Green AI » NXB Odile Jacob nói đến một lá chủ bài của Pháp mà cả Mỹ lẫn Trung Quốc hai siêu cường kinh tế thế giới và cũng là những bên tiên phong trong lĩnh vực công nghệ số và trí tuệ nhân tạo đều không có được : «  Không một quốc gia nào trên thế giới có 15 giga Watt mà đấy lại là điện phi carbone. Mỹ không có khả năng này, Trung Quốc cũng không. Cho nên tất cả các nhà đầu tư trên thế giới cùng nhòm ngó khối lượng điện này của Pháp ». Gauthier Roussilhe, chuyên gia về môi trường digital điều hành công ty tư vấn Hubblo, Paris, do vậy cảnh báo trước nguy cơ các ông vua công nghệ kỹ thuật số và AI trên thế giới đang muốn biến Pháp thành « sân sau » của riêng mình : « Tất cả những thông cáo rầm rộ về các chương trình đầu tư rất lớn về công nghệ số tại Pháp, trước hết là nhằm bảo đảm rằng, hiện tại và trong tương lai, các tập đoàn này có thể tận dụng tiềm lực về điện lực của nước Pháp (…) Những trung tâm xử lý dữ liệu càng lớn bao nhiêu, thì càng cho thấy trong lượng khổng lồ của các doanh nghiệp Mỹ. Softbank thực ra đã bỏ vốn đầu tư và hiện diện trong rất nhiều các tập đoàn công nghệ cao và nhất là trong các tập đoàn của Mỹ. Hệ quả hiển nhiên kèm theo là khâu quản lý các data center sau này sẽ thuộc về phía Hoa Kỳ ». Điều này dường như đã được cả sáng lập viên lẫn giám đốc tài chính tập đoàn Softbank nhìn nhận. Ông Masayoshi Son nói rõ : « Softbank bảo đảm khâu tài chính cho các dự án. Khách hàng của chúng tôi là những hyperscalers, tức là những ông không lồ trong lĩnh vực công nghệ đám mây, như là Amazon, Microsoft hay Google ». Về phần Nahoko Hoshino, giám đốc tài chính Softbank, bà chỉ hờ hững khi nhắc đến các đối tác châu Âu trong lúc đã tiến hành đàm phán với những khách hàng nặng ký là Amazon, Microsoft hay Google, Open AI. Về câu hỏi, đánh cược vào những data center có cho phép nước Pháp vực dậy kinh tế và mang lại công việc làm cho người dân hay không, giới trong ngành đồng loạt trả lời là không. Một quan chức tại thành phố La Courneuve so sánh : Với một diện tích tương đương, mở một nhà máy công nghiệp chế tạo trực thăng Eurocopter, cho phép  tạo thêm 700 công việc làm, nhưng với một trung tâm xử lý dữ liệu thì chỉ cần tuyển dụng 36 nhân viên.

Concerns over a senior police officer's Labour candidacy are being downplayed, with assurances police remain politically neutral. Police Commissioner Richard Chambers says he only learned of Rakesh Naidoo's candidacy on Sunday afternoon, and his position is now untenable. Labour claims Naidoo took all the appropriate steps. Police Association President Steve Watt told Francesca Rudkin his ranking on Labour's list shouldn't change how people react. He says it's important neutrality is maintained, no matter where an officer sits on the list. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

June 5, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 146 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers signing TE Robert Tonyan and LB Jamin Davis on the heels of both players coming to Pittsburgh for tryouts this past week. We discuss what each brings to the team and how each make the overall 91-man roster better. The Steelers waived UDFA TE Chamon Metayer on Thursday, so Alex and I make sure to recap that team transaction and the dead money charges that came along with it. TE Darnell Washington was signed to a four-year, $42 million contract extension since our last show, so Alex and I dedicate a lot of time to discussing the finer details of that deal and his role and possible usage on offense moving forward into the 2026 season. With the Steelers being expected to sign CB Joey Porter Jr. to a contract extension at some point prior to the regular season getting underway, Alex and I discuss what might be holding up that deal from getting done at this point of the offseason. Will the Steelers also get DT Keeanu Benton signed to an extension this offseason? Alex and I reexplore the possibility and probability of that happening and what his APY value seems to be right now. We also discuss whether a Benton contract extension could potentially wind up being for four years. OLB T.J. Watt held a media session a few days ago, so Alex and I go over the few notable things he had to say about his role and usage in the defense moving forward under the new coaching staff. With former Steelers QB Russell Wilson retiring from the NFL this week, Alex and I discuss whether he is Hall of Fame worthy or not. This 120-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above, and we make sure to answer a few listener emails we have received to close out this show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you feel better about Mike McCarthy now than when he was hired? Joe and Austin both think YES. It's football in shorts, but it's very different from Mike Tomlin. Joe thinks this gives some cause for hope. T.J. Watt is being forced to move around. Derrick Harmon was good in year one and Joe thinks he will be a great player this season. Joe is far more encouraged.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Pirates insider Jason Mackey joined the show. There are no current talks with Oneil Cruz on a long-term extension. His value is skyrocketing. Cruz's power potential is large and his plate discipline so much better. Baseball told everyone they're trying to command small market teams to spend $171 million. People are on the owners' side. Are we in for a summer of great baseball? Doug Whaley thinks the Steelers could only get a third round pick for T.J. Watt or Alex Highsmith.

Are we in for a summer of great baseball? We love hearing calls of great Pirates wins. Doug Whaley thinks the Steelers could only get a third round pick for T.J. Watt or Alex Highsmith. Mike Florio looked over the numbers and it wouldn't be terrible for the Steelers to trade T.J. Watt with his cap money. Joe wants the Pirates to skip a day and have Paul Skenes pitch against Ohtani. 

June 4 – Ep. 102: For today's episode, Josh Carney and Ross McCorkle discuss the barrage of contract extensions during mandatory minicamp, and debate whether Pittsburgh made good business decisions with Nick Herbig and Darnell Washington. What does Herbig's deal mean for the OLB room, and who else may be getting paid soon? Next, we discuss another offseason of Roman Wilson buzz after a deep-ball connection from Aaron Rodgers to Wilson on the final day of minicamp practice. Is it okay to buy into the hype again after being burned last year? We debate this and more. For the last topic, we talk about all the other misc. buzz from minicamp including Jack Sawyer's new physique, Daylen Everette impressing, T.J. Watt moving around the defense, and more. We wrap up the show with a listener question about Carson Bruener. Thank you for joining us for this 48-minute episode, and we hope to see your thoughts in the comment section.

The Steelers have signed tight end Darnell Washington to a four-year, $42 million deal, with $21 million guaranteed. Washington is the 12th-highest paid tight end in the league. Gerry Dulac reported the Steelers think they can only sign three of the four pick members of the 2023 draft class. T.J. Watt said he was stubborn and wouldn't move around the defense, but with Patrick Graham he's going to move.

Mike Florio said that the first two years of T.J. Watt's contract were fully guaranteed, and the signing bonus spread out. The Steelers would have a net gain of +$12 million in savings. There wouldn't be as big of a financial burden trading T.J Watt. Joe would sell high on Alex Highsmith.

June 3, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 145 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing Pittsburgh Steelers finally signing free agent S Darnell Savage to a one-year contract on Tuesday. We also discuss the player waived to make room for Savage on the roster. The Steelers had five players in for tryouts on Tuesday, so Alex and I go over that list players, which is headlined by TE Robert Tonyan and ILB Jamin Davis. The Cleveland Browns traded away DE Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday, so Alex and I both chime in on what that deal included and now means for both teams as well as the Steelers. Alex and I then talk a little bit more about the Steelers' decision to sign OLB Nick Herbig to a four-year, $100 million contract extension on Tuesday. We discuss how the onus is now on the Steelers to find a way to get Herbig on the field more in 2026 and even it is part of a three outside linebacker package that also includes T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith. With the Herbig extension now completed, Alex and I address the plausibility and probability of the Steelers trading away one of Watt or Highsmith. We discuss the possible highest draft pick compensation for either player as part of any type of trade and if either of us would consider such a deal. The Steelers now seem poised to sign CB Joey Porter Jr. to a contract extension on the heels of Herbig getting done, so Alex and I speculate what a new deal might ultimately look like for him. We also discuss the possibility of Porter receiving fully guaranteed money beyond 2026 should he indeed wind up signing a contract extension this offseason.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Bob was shocked the Browns traded Myles Garrett and thought it came out of nowhere. Could Aaron Donald come back and play for the Rams? Bob isn't ruling it out. Mark Kaboly doesn't think the Steelers will trade Watt or Highsmith before the year. He thinks the will trade whoever has the worst season after the season. Mark thinks Herbig will only play 50% of the snaps. Joey Porter Jr.'s contract will be discussed.

Mark doesn't think the Steelers will trade Watt or Highsmith before the year. He thinks the will trade whoever has the worst season after the season. Mark thinks Herbig will only play 50% of the snaps. Joey Porter Jr.'s contract will be discussed. Mason Rudolph looks great at minicamp. 

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder if the Steelers could still get a decent return for LB T.J. Watt. Also, Ray Fittipaldo from The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette comes on The Fan Hotline. June 3, 2026, 8:00 Hour

Mike McCarthy said Nick Herbig ‘deserved' his new deal with the Steelers, after inking a contract that makes him one of the highest-paid ‘reserve' players in NFL history. It's a $100M+ deal for the Steelers third edge rusher on the depth chart. Are the Steelers going to make it more of a true 3-man rotation if they don't deal TJ Watt or Alex Highsmith? It's hard to take down the snaps for the two players ahead of Herbig. What does the Nick Herbig contract mean for Joey Porter Jr. or other players that are up for new deals with the Steelers? Is there a real chance Aaron Donald comes back after the Rams traded for Myles Garrett? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike thinks it will be difficult for Aaron Donald to return to the NFL because it's so much easier said than done. But does he ponder it a little bit more because Myles Garrett will now face a lot of the attention? Mike reacted to the Nick Herbig deal and thinks the Steelers are opening up business for Alex Highsmith or TJ Watt. He said teams always make the call, it's just a matter of how long those conversations are. Mike thinks this will actually strengthen the case for Joey Porter Jr. to get paid this offseason. Mike still thinks the trade discussion with TJ Watt begins with a 1st round pick, noting a lot of the recent trades in the NFL. How complicated would a Watt trade be?

June 2, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 144 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Tuesday afternoon show, an emergency episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing Pittsburgh Steelers OLB Nick Herbig coming to terms with the team on a four-year, $100 million contract extension at the start of the annual mandatory minicamp practices. Alex and I go over the early details related to Herbig's contract extension and where he now ranks league-wide as far as edge rushers in the NFL. We also discuss how early the Steelers were able to get the Herbig extension done and how refreshing that was. Alex and I then look at what this contract extension now might mean when it comes to getting him on the field more in 2026. We discuss how the team is likely to still stick with T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith in 2026 as well and how new DC Patrick Graham needs a plan to make sure all three outside linebackers are utilized enough. Alex and I talk about how Herbig is still an ascending player and how he now provides great insurance at the outside linebacker position moving past the 2026 season, and especially if either Watt or Highsmith don't play up above the line this year. We make sure to address how much Herbig's 2026 salary cap charge is likely to increase now and if the team will provide any fully guaranteed money in the new deal past the 2026 season. Finally, Alex and I discuss how Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. might not be too far behind Herbig when it comes to his expected offseason contract extension. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

That children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of school and 20 times more likely to end up in prison.” The Journal of Research on Adolescence confirms that even after controlling for varying levels of household income, kids in father-absent homes are more likely to end up in jail. And kids who never had a father in the house are the most likely to wind up behind bars. In 1960, 5 percent of America's children entered the world without a mother and father married to each other. By 1980 it was 18 percent, by 2000 it had risen to 33 percent, and fifteen years later, the number reached 41 percent. For blacks, even during slavery when marriage for slaves was illegal, black children were more likely than today to be raised by both their mother and father. Economist Walter Williams has written that, according to census data, from 1890 to 1940, a black child was more likely to grow up with married parents than a white child. For blacks, out-of-wedlock births have gone from 25 percent in 1965 to 73 percent in 2015. For whites, from less than 5 percent to over 25 percent. And for Hispanics, out-of-wedlock births have risen to 53 percent. What happened to fathers? The answer is found in a basic law of economics: If you subsidize undesirable behavior you will get more undesirable behavior. In 1949, the nation's poverty rate was 34 percent. By 1965, it was cut in half, to 17 percent -- all before President Lyndon Johnson's so-called War on Poverty. But after that war began in 1965, poverty began to flat line. From 1965 until now, the government has spent over $20 trillion to fight poverty. The poverty rate has remained unchanged, but the relationship between poor men and women has changed – dramatically. That's because our generous welfare system allows women, in effect, to marry the government. And this makes it all too easy for men to abandon their traditional moral and financial responsibilities. Psychologists call such dependency "learned helplessness." How do we know that the welfare state creates disincentives that hurt the very people we are trying to help? They tell us. In 1985, the Los Angeles Times asked both the poor and the non-poor whether poor women "often" have children to get additional benefits. Most of the non-poor respondents said no. However, 64 percent of poor respondents said yes. Now, who do you think is in a better position to know? Tupac Shakur, the late rapper, once said: "I know for a fact that had I had a father, I'd have some discipline. I'd have more confidence." He admitted he began running with gangs because he wanted the things a father gives to a child, especially to a boy: structure and protection. “Your mother cannot calm you down the way a man can,” Shakur said. “You need a man to teach you how to be a man."   Are Fathers Necessary? | 5 Minute Videos | PragerU https://youtu.be/daS69gf0Tzc?si=UJ0grFAG2chSNjuM PragerU 3.45M subscribers 3,752,405 views Premiered Jun 7, 2021 5-Minute Videos Until recently, the need to explain why fathers are necessary would have been regarded as, well, unnecessary.
