elections are usually an exciting time for the american people however with the two party system dominating the political establishment here in washington some ask whether there are higher powers that stake and how much influence they wield over the city now someone is no stranger to this topic is ralph nader he was a presidential hopeful under the independent and green party ticket he sits down now with our. mr nader thank you so much for joining us now my first question to you is about u.s. foreign policy under both political parties i wonder if there are differences between how they look at the start treaty for example or the iraq and afghanistan wars or policies towards iran are there really differences between these two parties when it comes to u.s. foreign policy less and less on the start treaty that there are some republicans that are against it republicans for and mostly all the democrats are for it so there's a little difference there but on iraq on afghanistan on israel palestine. on

the. sofa given all of the u.s. government to go in there in the face anybody in the country regardless of national sovereignty the similarity between obama and bush the start of the political when bush launched the wars he. was not able to legitimize them. obama by extending. the war in afghanistan and expanding drones going into pakistan going into somalia into yemen it's a no go after anybody that he and the executive branch think are a threat. he has legitimized what bush has put forward in an illegitimate way i do election cycle politicians tend to bicker over who should be elected for president or who should be elected for congress but do their policies really differ

how much dominance does the two party system have over the establishment here in washington and how the country is being run well there is a permanent corporate government in washington for president eisenhower in his farewell address in one nine hundred sixty one pointed out the much quoted passage of the unwarranted influence saw a run saw by the military industrial complex of course no it's much much worse and they have cowed a lot of the media i mean look how the media went along with the falsified drumbeat an invasion of iraq in two thousand and three i mean it was disgraceful so the two parties are not where the game is really being played they are the tributes you know they're the voice they're the sheen there is the they they they sign on the dotted line it's the military industrial complex it's largely this insatiable defense industry machine that never says enough is enough in terms of nuclear subs

and drones and fighter bombers and armored vehicles it's out of control eisenhower warned us about it we didn't heed his warning he knew what he's talking about he was a five star general is there a fabricated perception when it comes to the tea party's influence is there much reality behind this perception that socialism is dominating the country well it's a corporate propaganda the tea party is very viewpoints one viewpoint but they're going to share one thing their own about what's going on in the country and therefore being channeled toward washington without being a member in effect informed hate each wall street over washington wall street is taking control of washington isn't a massive. trillion dollar bailout bailout of these wall street crooks by your tax dollars sufficient evidence so i think the big mistake that democrats and liberals are making is they're not talking to the teper years that they're backing off in

and adjusting and censoring themselves and inflating the power of the tea partiers and so is the media i mean the only three four hundred thousand people who call themselves tea partiers who spent more than twenty hours in the last six months under initiatives and going to rallies and so forth but you have glenn beck you have fox network you have even the washington post in a new york times pushing pushing and so exaggerates them and that intimidates the democrats to be less progressive and less liberal and so who has the momentum in politics you simply ask one question who's on the on fence even who's on the defensive once the democrats turn became on the defensive they're falling backward they and they're not going to recover the dangers of corporate capitalism is something that you've been following all your life i wonder about the corporate influence in this election cycle and in washington in general are the corporations

creating movements like the tea party to maintain their control or their interests yeah that's their popular front so to speak just like the communist party it's popular front the corporations knowing they can't be out front because people don't like a lot of these big corporations they ripped off by the banks and credit card companies insurance companies they have the bicameral accounting pfizer's they give the tea party some deceptive information and focus on certain politicians and therefore if they continue their work there will behind the scenes i mean we have corporate socialism this country where the profits are kept and the losses are socialized on the back of the taxpayer there is a single department range and see us go. who's outside influence over one place not corporate they control from their outside and putting their executives and i government positions funding members of congress and their cash thirty five

thousand full time lobbyists in washington they are the government theater dreiser's put it very well a minimum years ago he said the corporations are the god i wonder what role does third party candidates have an election cycles and influencing the politics in this country when you have this two party system that has been in place for so long yeah i miss a two party dictatorship and they control the state laws of ballot access so they obstruct small parties and independent candidates requiring them to spend inordinate amounts of time resist litigation as frivolous to get on the ballot there's no country in the western world that if strikes voters and counted them exercising their democratic rights in most countries in western europe you have multi-party systems if the green party gets over five percent in germany as over five percent of the parliament here a party can get forty nine percent the opponent can get fifty one percent the party gets forty nine percent is nothing so there's no proportional representation that

with the electoral college nonsense feeds a two party dictatorship and so the role of third parties to break open that two party dictatorship where is the party that pushes for a living wage so they can support their family on the democrats republicans they're not really pushing for that the democrats have a better rhetoric but barack obama promised a nine dollars fifty cents federal minimum wage in the campaign in two thousand and eight he's never talked about it since it's now seven dollars and twenty five cents won't part wages one third of the workers in this country make low wal-mart type wages is not a major area for a third party so people have got to stop voting for the least worst between the democrats republicans. and say they're going to vote for what they believe that they're going to vote for their conscience they're going to vote for the best interests the american people if it's a third fourth party so be it you mentioned you sent a letter to a number of different corporate executives saying they should have

a taxpayer appreciation day for all the money that stole from the american taxpayers can you elaborate on that a little bit well i mean the political parties are servicing the top one percent which has of wealthy people which has equivalent wealth of the bottom ninety five percent of the american people and that is a inequality that radiates all the way down to why the poor die more injured more ripped off more the middle class is being pushed down toward the poor wealth inequality is not just a bunch of people at the top who have all a lot of the cold it radiates inequality and harm and devastation all away down the income scale and the republican democrat party have presided over at this tax system that perpetuates it what role does the mainstream media have in pandering to corporate interests well the media puts out some very good reports once in awhile sixty minutes and so forth but by and large they represent the investments of their

shareholders and that means advertising revenue so they're not going to really go against many of their advertisers with a few luminous exceptions from time to time that's the mass media there's independent media that seems to be growing modestly i listen regularly to democracy now and amy goodman for example at pacifica radio needs to be expanded because these these media don't represent advertises they represent news and that's why when you turn on them you say gee why haven't i heard that on n.b.c. or c.b.s. why in this little station it's because they're not representing their advertisers they're representing news and i think that that's the that. the central difference known in media from what you're saying it seems like a bit of a hopeless situation here in the united states is there any possibility of a revolution here in this country where the people actually revolt against these advances corporate domination well inevitably cycle turns in american history and

people say enough is enough i thought the bailout of the crooks in wall street would fulfill that enough is enough but i've seen people who are more demoralized and less able to organize but one of these days will be a few billionaires who put a lot of money into thousands of community organizers network throughout the country focusing on congress to move this country forward and put the people back into the sovereignty arena the constitution starts with the people not we the corporations ralph nader it's always a pleasure to have you thank you so much for joining us. the admiral no human a passenger liner sailing in the black sea. august thirty first

their first win in the champions league group stages like a greek side kind of an i calls. the kings of the world the san francisco giants see off the texas rangers to claim baseball's world series. up in all the world's top golfers a braced for battle in china just a day after tiger woods lost his number one ranking to lee westwood. i was that was vocal where there's a crucial game for rubin in the champions league on tuesday they're taking on part of the night calls in cars and a need to win to have a realistic chance of qualifying for the knockout stages both sides have yet to win a game in group day and it ended goalless when they played each other in greece two weeks ago so three points and made it if they had to have any hope of catching leaders barcelona f.c. copenhagen their second saturday going to lanka scored twice in the two know when it clear sets off last friday in the russian premier league this first goal since joining on loan from symonds and the forward believes home advantage will give his

side the edge. and a quick look great deal shows why both sides are so desperate for victory being a four points behind pace and pagan and five behind barcelona and with just the top two going through with just three games left time is running up to the brainwashing champions. well bob let me the best place in the next round if they beat copenhagen and the council on site is flying at the moment having just try a five mill at home to save the a in the league on saturday they also beat type in hagen to name at the nou camp almost two weeks ago but coach that guardiola full of praise for james side picked up the truth in that other two games. don't leave him to be a little bit. i. don't think if you don't recall i think you are the worst thing in the difficultly you to create change the world well as for copenhagen they have to have present they hope to have

a should say brazilian striker says our son team back fit for the visitors pass on their manager and says they won't be trying to man but you know message despite the argentina starts going twice against them last time they met. it's a clever clever culturists for the me who has tried to stop it it's much better players than mine who have tried to stop it not succeeded so but. we don't we don't want to marketing or something that's. that will destroy. all we were going to say tional the team so that's no that's no use and one of the ties of the knights is defending champions into milan go to top them winners of the italian side would guarantee them a spot in the next round of group eight is great spurs forsaking the dramatic encounter at the san siro gareth bale scored a hat trick for the premier league side then but into say he's not the only one they have to be wary of but you know when we talk about the other hand we're not talking about bill we're talking about

a very good team which is very good on the pitch which is very strong physically and has players with quality and i think that's what we need to be careful about not only one player but to two to be careful about to the string they have i think . i mean martin could have done a lot of and got back to the game after he picked up a hamstring injury in saturday's controversial defeat at manchester united so there's the manager harry redknapp there he says he'll stop doing post match interviews if he is punished by the english essay for criticising the match officials after bacteria lost at all trafford. i would very very want to make an issue of what i said. makes him a shooter as well don't worry. don't expect me to come out of the t.v. after a game anymore ever and speak to the press after the game but i won't do it because i've always what charge we got if you want me just to come and talk rubbish and so

you know it was a good decision i'm quite happy with it don't what would get me to come out after a game. and there was one result from the english premier league on monday evening where blackpool want to want to home to nine man west brom to go ninth in the table the buying public even as harshly sent off after just eleven minutes to charlie adam from the home side ahead from the penalty spot then off to twenty nine with this albion were down to nine man god thought the yarra saw red for a reckless lot like danny made it to now off to sixty two minutes yusuf the long boat pulled one back with five minutes to go to set up a breathless finale that blackpool held on to win two one so for the first time in ten years at this stage also three promoted sides west brom newcastle and blast pool in the top half the table. meanwhile the san francisco giants have won baseball's world series for the first time in fifty six years they breached the texas rangers on monday night to win the best of seven contests for one it was a tense game in arlington texas and scoreless until it got them to the out of the

series from spot to go play or get a stunning three run homer in the seventh inning that the giants three up and that was how it stayed until the ninth inning when nelson cruz hit a solo run the texas. brought three want is how it ended with a new giant a four one series victory in their first world series crime since ninety three fifty four to. zero zero some believe or somebody that's too late for you knowing. i would be here oh yes. but i keep myself in shape of working her. and doing my show of let's be patient going to. getting work oh and they're going to do you have a lot of patience with me because. i'm going to be going through the.

and staying in america let's move to the n.f.l. where the indianapolis colts beat the houston texans thirty seventeen at home in the ne game on monday peyton manning threw two touchdowns including this jacob tamme is too young to take this front seven zero eventually lead the colts to victory internationalists to square the head to head since the first day of the defending a.f.c. champions the out right lead in this last division for the first time this season. now former world number one golfer tiger woods has once again crossed swords with the man who ended his reign at the top lee westwood but this time literally the two squared off in a ceremonial battle ahead of the champions tournament in shanghai is that right martin kaymer number four phil mickelson also taking out weapons jokes aside a real fight is in store for the quartet when they take to the greens the sure sound goal of course on thursday each of them has a chance to claim tops boss providing they deliver the goods during the weekend

woods relinquished his grip on the summit of the world rankings on monday after a formidable two hundred eighty one weeks in charge. and finally boarding has become far more than a pastime as a russian team have become world champions in the sport program called third time after taking on the americans in their own backyard consulting but apple has more. leverage mores dream of playing soldiers and shooting enemies for form without serious consequences of course has come true in the form of pinball and for those of you who don't know this in walls teams competing with each other to shoot their opponents they use a gun like device called a market which has belts containing paint there are different kinds of pinball but this board rainbow was first played at the beginning of the 1980's in the us sporting for me it's a mixture of hold the sport and far and go with more games more balls means more foreign it's an extremely interesting spot. i started with it as

a sport and that kind of pinball is not professional because just for fun it's not surprising the americans became the translators with big industry and the best league almost like the n.b.a. for pinball players and all the sports fans gear up once a year for what has become the greatest and most interested b.d. pinball in band the p.s.p. world cup in orlando teams from all over the world come to outshine their rivals in proved that they belong at the top most of the teams are from north america as a level of their performance he's much hurt except for one team russian legion this is a professional pinball team from moscow that set themselves being of becoming more old number one thousand nine hundred ninety six and were crowned world champions for the third time this year the russians continued to make history by threshing all their opponents and as a result in the final it was a massacre with the russian legion side winning it seven behind all that is course a lot of blood is because we spend

a lot more than any other team and yes we spent time over here by practice and we spend thousands of hours by plane pambo we spend hundreds of hours by making special fitness exercises and and it's just our level but it's not just about physical ability or shooting skills for coaches prepare the team for each tournament where it's a battle of wits as well you must know tactics if you're playing just by yourself you will do nothing sell the team and the squad is out of five people and each person that squad must know what he is doing to help his guys and scilab him as a real part of the squad that can do his job as good as possible however is real professionals the team doesn't appear to rest in their laurels they're dedicated to pinball and want to attract a younger sister to the sport and make it for people in russia and the world success is the best advertisement for money and the truth is that the best league with the best players is in the us where. pinball is very popular where delighted

to be them on their home ground but of course we'd like to have a strong league here in russia and i hope the sport will grow to be popular and lots of youngsters will get involved and if the russian legion team continue their winning ways they could well achieve their aims of making pain more even more popular here in their native land complain but out of. the santa ana so the sports news for this bill isn't.

the big.
