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 team 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 says a little difference there but on iraq on afghanistan israel palestine.

on the. sofa given the u.s. government to go in there in the case 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 legitimately than. 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 the illegitimate way i don't. 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 hell the country is being run well if 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 iran saw by the military industrial complex of course know 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 beaten played they are the tributes you there the voice there the sheen there is the they they say they sign on the dotted line it's the military industrial complex it's largely dissin say should both the 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 corporate propaganda the tea party is very viewpoints and no one viewpoint but they're going to share one thing they're angry about what's going on in the country and therefore being channeled toward washington without being a member in effect in foreign paper it's wall street over washington wall street is taking control of washington isn't a massive multi-trillion dollar bail bailout of these wall street crooks by your tax dollars sufficient evidence so i think the big. a state that democrats and liberals are making is they're not talking to the tea partiers that they're backing off and 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 party used 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 has the momentum in politics you simply asked 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 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 has its 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 the insurance companies they have the bicameral accounting pfizer's they give the tea party. 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 losses are socialized on the back of the taxpayer there is a single department ranges us government. 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 with their cash thirty five thousand full time lobbyists in washington they are the government theater advisor

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 an influence in 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 is 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 cent's 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 wal-mart 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 worse between the democrats republicans and say they're going to vote for who but 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 he mentions 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 white to 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 and pandering to corporate interests well the media puts us in very good reports once in a while 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 message me there's independent media that seems to be growing modestly i listen regularly to democracy now and amy goodman for example at pacifica radio it needs to be expanded because these these media don't represent advertises they represent news now so i mean you turn on them and 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's the essential difference now in the media from what you're saying it seems like a bit of a hopeless situation here in the united. it's is there any possibility of a revolution here in this country where the people actually were votes against these against us 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 nineteen eighty six. twenty three twenty. four

bray sure. the last games of the groups. 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 this time quite literally the team squared off in a ceremonial battle ahead of the champions tournament in shanghai he said when martin came out in club number four phil mickelson also taking out weapons west but has been paired with mickelson and white young for the opening round on thursday each of the top four has a chance to go first in the rankings with success this weekend woods relinquished his grip on the summit on monday after a formidable two hundred eighty one weeks in charge but westwood says the top of the world is not the only thing that matters because it's obviously not why would anybody challenge i think people's careers are defined by maybe chairmanships but it's certainly. confirmation that i'm doing everything right you know the stuff i'm working on and it's confirmation you know a lot of consistency and i'm playing some solid golf regularly. i saw god have

missed the chance to bridge the gap on the k h l leaders after finding themselves on the wrong side of a six for school and. my god came from four times but conceded two more goals in the final period and empty netter overtaken by c.b.s. in the spot. next to the only goal in the first period acevedo went for that one no wind started one skate doesn't resist but one four three i tell you to measure the numbers and that's just a second bottom this time lost their edge when i read on highlights to win four three on penalties struggled a more unfortunate that set us down. meanwhile scored that a ferrari may be the sport's most decorated team they're gunning for more glory as the formula one circus pitches up in brazil for the penultimate race of the season the italian team know there's still lots of work to be done there to claim the constructors title for seventeen time they had the paymaster will once again shine in front of him on a sunday the brazilian won twice before at interlagos say in sao paolo on his two

sons are never going to talk to the driver standing after triumphing the south korean grumpy and the latest outing and for all it costs there are many carli want him to keep that focus. and i think it will not change the post that he had in the last couple of races he used to be stronger need to be perfect any need to score points for short of water we can't afford at the moment he is really not what i would be under the race for every reason. and this is the main target i would say well it's the final run in the russian premier league with sin it's looking set to deprive double champions ruby of that coveted crown however both were comfortable winners over the weekend which also saw help doing on time redraw here's all the next bulging action for much to twenty six it's goals galore. live

. and finally paint balling has become far more than a pastime as the russians have become well champions in the sport for record third time after taking on the americans in their own backyard constantly but that has. every boy's dream of killing soldiers and shooting animals for fun without serious consequences of course has come true in the form of pinball and for those of you who don't know this involves teams competing with each other to shoot their opponents they use a gun like device called a market which has pallets containing paint there are different kinds of pinball but is a sport pinball was first played at the beginning of the 1980's in the us party committees a mixture of everything hold the sport and foreign more games more pain balls means more foreign it's an extremely interesting time how i started with it as

a sport and that kind of pinball is more professional than 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 bt pain going beyond that p.s.p. world cup in orlando teams from all over the world come to outshine their rivals in prove that they belong at the top most of the teams are from north america as the 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 the end of becoming world number one back in one 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 paint massacre with the russian legion side winning it seven thing behind all that is this course a lot of blood is because we spend a lot more than any other team and yes we spend time over here by practice and we

spend thousands of hours by plane pambo we spend high. it's all followers 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 so 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 u.s. where pinball is very popular where delighted to be them on their home ground but

of course we'd like to have a strong week 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 the reigns of making pinball even more popular here in their native land complain but out of. the fun. that's all the sports news in this bill isn't.
