plus all countries around the world are calling for tasks for all atomic plants to avoid a new for sima the u.k. is committed to expanding its facilities but experts warn bundles persistence with its nuclear projects poses i'm not so security threat. now the financial crisis of two thousand and eight hit america hard but some came off a lot more than others for the banks though it's back to the days of bonuses and profits while others remain out of work struggling to survive are say here is now from investigative journalist a u.v. who explains how the brakes are escaping scot free. i. tried to sit down with author investigative journalist and contributing editor to rolling stone magazine. thank you so much for joining us thank you for having me but let's get right into it you've dedicated a large part of your work in your career to discovering and investigating the

events that led up to the economic crisis of awakes and the events that happened after and during that whole chaos and my question to you is where is where does everyone stand now it really looks like the politicians have moved on wall street has moved on certainly from that whole extravaganza and yet we have millions of people left basically to men for themselves what do you make of all about well i think we're at a period now we're kind of at a crossroads where the if the government moves forward and doesn't make major changes and doesn't press forward with wide scale prosecutions i think this is kind of like their last opportunity to do that for the last three years or so that really they haven't taken anybody to court at all there's really been no law enforcement whatsoever and i think that's something that people are talking all about a lot of wall street they're kind of wondering when you know the other sure is going to dry up and i personally am hopeful that they actually will do something it's

just it's too late but it's at least it will come naturally better than nothing right now it's interesting that you've been pointing out that you know bernie made off the ponzi scheme are very famous case but you've been saying that the reason he ended up being you know one basically the only one who ended up in jail so far for a significant period of time is because he was the one who impacted the rich and the reason that everybody else is still held on accountable because they you know impacted people who don't really have a voice apparently you know that i think it's absolutely the case was a good target for a couple of reasons number one. he really had nothing to do with the systemic corruption. to the crash of two thousand and eight he was just a straight up criminal who could have existed in any time period and so he was unconnected to all the really serious stuff that went on all street and also the scale of it was even though it was big for the people who invested in his funds it wasn't anything like the scale of the fraud that went on at the big banks for

instance there was that and then of course the fact that his records were actors in hollywood and other than other people in manhattan and wall street. that was really the reason why he ended up getting picked it's been over two years and a lot of people politicians people media are saying you know it's time to move on let's let's kind of start growing again and stop talking about the economic collapse are you still angry and who is your anger directed at that whole attitude well it's already over let's not bother going back and stirring up you know the hornet's nest of you know all these troubles that are in the past i think that's a really dangerous attitude because the number one thing that came out of this whole period is that there were absolutely no consequences for any of the people who committed this wide scale fraud we had these massive bailouts and there's an enormous amount of public anger about that and she called all the bailouts with the lack of law enforcement the lack of prosecutions there's really no incentive going

forward for people on wall street not to commit crimes especially if they're incredibly profitable. you know people on wall street look at that and they say hey if i rip off you know a pension fund or insurance company or a foreign bank. or foreign hedge fund there will be absolutely no consequences basically the only lesson they have learned is that they can do anything and get away with anything and that's just right and even if it is up even if we get completely wrong you know the worst case scenario is that the government is going to come in and bail us out with taxpayer money so obviously the c.e.o.'s are not going to the bankers are not going. care much about homelessness joblessness and all that mess they've created but why don't politicians really make more of an effort at this point i mean it's been enough time over two years so going to start doing something to put stuff back together to put the puzzle back i think there's a lot of reasons for that i think our politicians are completely isolated from what most people in america are really going through they don't spend

a lot of time with people who are struggling they don't know what it's like to not be able to make their own payment or have your house foreclosed upon and that the horrible thing about this is that this isn't some small segment of the population we're talking about this is becoming a mainstream thing where what used to be the middle class in this country is now facing foreclosure and huge numbers i mean millions of people at a time are going into foreclosure they're losing their houses and they're losing their life savings but i think the people who are running this country don't really see that they don't their entire experience is limited to a very small circle of people who see a very different america one that's very affluent to think about a little further if you could literally describe the relationship between wall street and washington in one sentence really what would that it's completely commingled a it's it's. it's a revolving door of interests where. people on wall street are either directly

effect sponsoring the politicians in washington with campaign contributions and soft money and that sort of thing or else they are actually politicians who are what can really change that who has the power to do it who has the force to do it and you know who would be interested in changing that will voters obviously have the ability to make those changes they have to have the ability to not choose politicians who are beholden to wall street theoretically but the problem is wall street heavily sponsors both the republican and the democratic parties so automatically no matter who becomes the front running candidate for the presidency is going to be a creature of wall street look at barack obama who i personally admired her on during his campaign of two thousand and eight but if you look at his his his record goldman sachs was his number one private campaign contributor but it was third party is you know is that even an option or is that never going to happen in this country. it was seriously i don't see it becoming a major having

a major impact i think you might see the occasional politician who is who is really not part of the world not run you know it's people are obviously understanding at this point that democrats and republicans are different sides of the same coin why not get there and they don't know really because. i think your average american does doesn't see that i think. ordinary people are very seduced and mesmerized by this you know phony media created division between blue and red and left and right and democrats and republicans and people are conditioned to believe that there are enormous profound differences between these two parties whereas the reality is their differences are mostly superficial and on the important questions of how the economy is run and how to regulate the economy they're exactly the same but i don't think ordinary can. what about the village between the media and washington d.c.

like you say they represent either one or the other really these days the mainstream media where does the take us what kind of a really situation does that create in the us and who is supposed to kind of rebound the. people who have this image of. american news media as being. some kind of top down corrupted energy that is pumping out propaganda that's not really the way it works it's really a sort of nihilistic. purely for profit entity that is just to make money and in the process of doing that they're completely they have absolutely no interest whatsoever in doing social interest reporting it will just do whatever it is that's going to attract the most advertising and so as far as politics goes that means playing up this whole reality show narrative of you know

versus right and so that's our problem there's there's you know these are for profit companies and there's no money in doing the right thing so that's what that's how we get the media we have some kind of situation does that create you know if what you're saying we have washington out to please wall street wall street out to make profit corporations and the mainstream media out to make profit who is out there to do something to you know maybe do something for the american people for example they need to help right now there are a lot of good people in government there are a lot of good people and media the problem is systemically. they're never going to be able to get take hold because the forces at work are or are powerful and they're entrenched and they're also very efficient i mean the media companies they do make a lot of money and so it's going to take an awful lot to move them off their commercial model and i just don't see that happening so real change is not coming anytime soon i mean i don't see it i mean i think you could have incremental change and i think you know if there are big enough. as you might even see significant changes but. for the most part the way it's set up it's just really an uphill climb

for ordinary people to. get their issues in front of the right politicians and get real change. made do you think a crisis of the way it wasn't big enough is that just the beginning and we kind of expect something worse to happen you would have thought that would have been big enough for me you would have expected a crisis of that magnitude would have motivated to government to make significant changes but they really didn't i guess it will have to be something worse before they can for they you know make those real changes if we switch gears a little bit and talk about you know go from the people who are pocketing all this money to the way the money is being thrown around the globe. first of all militarily of course because that's a serious issue with the wars ongoing in the u.s. i mean that the u.s. is participating in research on this a little bit why isn't this money being put into creating factories opening up you know manufacturing jobs really picking up the middle class back up from its knees.

that's just not the way. the american political mainstream thinks i mean you would feel if you look at the what happened when obama passed his seven hundred billion dollars stimulus that was ostensibly to create jobs it was it was a government program to help put people back to work there was an enormous coast to coast out of reach of the idea that big government has any business trying people put people back to work on the other hand when we spend ten or fifteen times that bailing out wall street after two thousand and eight. there was nothing like the same kind of outcry or when we spend a comparable amount of fighting pointless and idiotic and bloody wars of conquest in faraway places when we spend enormous sums of money on endeavors like that again there isn't the same kind of always idiotic why do you think you know the politicians fail to see that what does it really do you think the underlying

purpose of libya for example for you libya i don't know i mean i think this wasn't this was in a situation like iraq where the united states had a clear long term plan to go into this country. and went in there with their eyes wide open in if you look at their rock in afghanistan to me those are much more. indicative of what we have to look for and what they're thinking about in terms of foreign policy they have these long. military stalemates deployments that are going to go on forever and ever and ever and that are going to cost one hundred two hundred billion dollars a year and there are the official policy of the united states that is to keep these things going in to have a presence and that region i think it's political inertia at this point you know if you look at afghanistan for instance. clearly i think the remaining reason that

we're there is because the democratic party views that. ghana stand as our war it's their way of going into an election season and being able to say that you know we're just as tough as the republicans it's not that we're against war per se we just didn't like the iraq war so look here we are in afghanistan we're tough that's really the only reason we're there so that you know barack obama doesn't have to take criticism that he's weak and limp wristed all right thank you very much for your time thank you. the close up team has been to build the grand reach thank you for the turning point of bringing more to. this time r.g.p. goes to the region where half of the area is occupied by a nature preserve. where the young generation transit in their ancestors to. know
