Before I just want to remind you that we are now producing new bonus

content and a weekly wrap-up show for everyone who supports the podcast on Patreon.

You can go to Patreon.com slash Amped Up

and for as little as five dollars a month,

you'll get two new bonus videos and bonus shows

with me and my producer Rob a week. Thanks again for supporting the podcast.

Welcome to Amped Up. This is your host Ryan Knight and our guest today is Joseph Kishore.

Joseph was the Socialist Equality Party's

2020 nominee for president,

currently serves as the National Secretary

for the Socialist Equality Party,

and is a writer for the world socialist website.

Joseph, welcome to Amped Up.

Thanks for having me, Ryan.

Glad to be here.

Look, right now in the United States of America,

we have 140 million Americans who are either poor or low income.

We have 92 million Americans who are either underinsured or uninsured.

50 million Americans who are facing food insecurity, 40 million Americans who are facing

the threats of looming evictions, and you contrast that with the fact that we have just

three billionaires now who own more wealth than half of our entire nation.

So it is very clear that capitalism is failing the majority of the people in this country.
