2:30 pm
negotiations is really about this kyra negotiation is about destroying our standard of living this is cooperation is trying to get what they want that they've been trying to get for the last twenty five years and we cannot let the minutes right occupy wall street smash there's no message are exactly the same corporate greed is destroying this country that we cannot let it so we have built very close ties with the communication workers before september seventeenth we were already supporting the farm workers and they responded by supporting us we went to their last rally at the headquarters they marched back to the park with us and some of them slept there they're going to be in a tough struggle that's why we're getting this relationship with labor labor seen as relieved they are i never expected when i first started contacting unions that the response would be so enthusiastic but the labor movement has been kicked around now for quite a while and they have to fight and they see people fighting and they see they're
2:31 pm
fighting the same enemy and they see them reaching out this movement has shown such an eagerness to reach out to the mainstream of the american public and the unions represent the organized part of that the focus on the one percent and the first time in an american movement i don't even think in the thirty's that the communist party did this in their mance work i don't even think they identify the enemy as the ruling class mr speaker. mr vice president. members of congress distinguished guests and fellow americans last month i went to andrews air force base and welcome home some of our last troops to serve in iraq. together we offered a final proud salute to the colors under which more than a million of our fellow citizens bought. and several thousand gave their lives.
2:32 pm
we gather tonight knowing that this generation of heroes has made the united states safer and more respected around the world thanks. thanks thanks thanks you too want to get a standing ovation from both democrats and republicans just the most to be the bottom line of the military industrial complex which just so happens the benefits of every congressional district in the country really really believes that the undisputed greatest mayor of violence in the world actually makes us safer and more respected i mean come on that kind of attitude is not going to earn anyone any nobel peace prizes or thank you distinguish members of the norwegian nobel committee it's citizens of america. and citizens of the world. i receive this honor with deep gratitude and great humility george orwell
2:33 pm
would have had a hard time coming up with this are we really this delusional you see the more honest we are with ourselves about exactly what our foreign policy is the better chance we have to stop some of the truly horrific conditions it visits upon many of the people of the world so say it with me the us foreign policy is a blowback inducing homicidal bull in a cultural religious and geo political china shop to change. their was handed. down. to the family. sitting. around. the world. it was not right to feel. the answer to that i started in iraq in two thousand and four and two thousand and six i was in the second battle of. allusion november of two thousand and four as
2:34 pm
a human being and as a person who has a heart i can't lie to myself anybody else and say that we had a reason to be there that there's a reason for the million iraqis that died in the five thousand troops said that we say we're the greatest country in the world but we go into you know people in their country but we don't stop genocide in africa we don't help people that we can help that would be the greatest country in the world if we can save a million people instead of killing them and people if you're not convinced our foreign policy is morally bankrupt perhaps we should talk about money taxpayers in united states have need one point four trillion dollars for total war spending in iraq and afghanistan since two thousand and one never wondered what one point four trillion dollars would buy well it could be the annual energy costs for every household in america five years but i hear you saying that would not do very much to decrease our dependence on foreign oil there are enough. one point four trillion dollars could convert every home in america to one hundred percent solar energy.
2:35 pm
over or it could convert every home in america to one hundred percent wind energy knowing times over for groceries for everyone in the country free for two years or to provide scholarships to every college student in america and award them a fifty five hundred dollar grant seven times over the war turn all volunteer firefighters into full time employees and pay them a full salary for twenty three years or pay the full time salaries of every public school teacher for the next six years instead we took one point four trillion dollars pay a small black ops team to hunt track and kill osama bin ladin oh we even had money left over in the budget to decimate two countries launch hostilities resulting in over one million innocent civilians dead and counting ask yourself how many orphans
2:36 pm
are going to bed with clenched fists tonight in afghanistan or iraq who grow up willing to fly a plane into the building and how many trillions more we prepared to spend on avenging that. you can do everything go to school and not just go to school but excel in school work really really hard and i graduated and really had to feeling a lot of the time very consciously in my head that. i might as well. you know i mean. was there reason for me to be in debt good evening of all the time bombs in the american economy set to explode with dire consequences this is a big one staggering debt from student loans everyone is told a college education is a way to get ahead college tuitions though keep going up so does the borrowing and we just hit an awful milestone our nation's combined student loan debt has now hit . one trillion dollars that averages out to twenty four thousand per student it's
2:37 pm
now larger than credit card debt in this country and it comes just as an entire generation is just starting out i have to. thank. god. i. was. thinking that your goal anybody would have predicted that. every two thousand you would have. people out of the streets in new york city.
2:38 pm
because something is we journalists are beyond here. oh it's just the. he has so many bright. young people might be on a global stage with affordable education. it is a challenge and justice there is in fact the whole student loan debt is crazy yet when congress raises the loan limits schools respond to those increased long limits by raising tuition because they think that students can afford to pay more because they're actually allowed more money nobody really has the option to expect to get a comfortable. not go to college we don't have an unskilled workforce anymore for
2:39 pm
the workforce that we have right now it's socially irresponsible not to go to school because the entire workforce is predicated on higher education i think our education system hasn't caught up to our economy and that's one of the problems and that that's where this problem is coming and that's why people are speaking up that's why that i am here there are no bankruptcy protections for any student loans business the only one and all of us history that you can't ever default on you can ever discharge this with a car see the idea of you do you debtors union is based on a labor union model and what they did effectively when our economy was very different when there was so-called unskilled labor they negotiated with the factories for better working conditions so that they could go back to work just that same way you do you debtors union you could renegotiate a better contractor arrangement with our lenders so that we can repay our loans it's employing an autonomous strategy of refusal so you were fused to do something you're saying no to something in favor of making things better.
2:40 pm

2:41 pm
get tired standpoint you ask to destroy it and so i think that you know finds out the pipeline but what happens after that you know another standoff with big oil i think so i think so i don't think it's the environment's going to magically go itself because we stop the pipeline and then the thing about the pipeline and one reason that makes it so urgent is that that the scientist james hansen the brokaw warrior actually a few decades back or whatever says the pipeline is it will be. inhabitable . to me speak to language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world's top spot specifically ip interviews

2:45 pm
a good dose of hope and rarely are still stated this is a world away so the dying and we want people to be able to use the live it's going to take time but. we can't force it but we're not ready to. because we see a better world. feel the hate. and that is organization of this and that any american dreams. were created. was. put in a fiction you know was heresy this intervention at the end you know they show you
2:46 pm
all the same stuff and then they sit around somebody who has issues and problems and they talk about you know how badly that person has done and what they're going to do if they don't change their behavior and for us we're dealing with folks who have a serious addiction to corporate money was that when cheney said them to get off and on their own even on that in the smoke and i cracked open my door. i only cracked up to be very easily addictive somebody who was cool six years ago snuck up on a crack rock this is not an occupy movement has become a conduit to venue for talking about this corruption and so folks that move to amend that are really in my boy. said in the bar for the critique that corporations are not persons property not speech. constitutional rights are for people over eighteen fifty six and dred scott the same supreme court so that
2:47 pm
people are property dred scott affirm slavery. two thousand cannot the supreme court said property is people killed decisions are you see. that i was. i just felt for some punk told them telling. them how about. the culmination not individual part in the issues coming together with a secular purpose. to bring some to show and then that to make it clear. that they do not happen here emailing them about.
2:48 pm
money is not political speech thanks. to didn't come he was coming top post doctrines must be about why we cannot overturn could be punished and still allow wealthy individuals to spend hundred enough money on. the above. i. feel. he's in a he with my kind of the high it was all about is democracy money love city look around at the power monopolies have you noticed people like this stuff. our society shapes he gets me just like us use the excuse that someone's got to lose some point for
2:49 pm
race in the wind as it is not the older they don't build on the up that's a lot more it's both of those we're told forgotten the face we're all taught by our mothers should have been the people out there today so what's the payoff. for all the hero he has the most full son to the small of his. rocks like. that are just the. cause for. the cause was just cause he was thank you thank. god. that people are realizing that they released that the way our economic system currently runs is not
2:50 pm
democratic it's not that official to the vast majority of people and till we have some kind of economic democracy where in the past majority of people in their communities and in their workplaces have more decisions over what these corporations do if we want to have corporations and all then political democracy is a sham and then the you look at the military budget. neutral but you get used to spend as much as the world somebody at a time when our infrastructure is literally a deep level grade according the american society of civil engineers we get a decent these days is the future of our economy very infrastructure is going to work and so if you face of those two issues which are you just going on the one percent the military industrial complex suddenly your solutions to the issues i mean there's money to invest in a new resisting the economy no. selling his money to reform it looms them out
2:51 pm
wasting energy so you can turn roads into solar panels that's not possible we can make them like. our russian friends on the. right make it really good writing. that he said it was to some other target like the president. there are easier like the red streak kids are under. the wire night. here now. they say that the occupy movements major victory to date is that we have changed the conversation that people are now debating issues such as russian equality at this point i think we can all agree there is no debate there is inequity when it
2:52 pm
comes to wealth period full stop and it is growing and the super rich are not super rich because of some force of nature like summer morphing into fall or heat always going to coal they are super rich as a result of their active participation in or their willingness to be accessories to you criminally rig the homicidal force of a system what the occupy movement has done and why people armed with nothing more than an idea are being suppressed often violently is to acknowledge that most all of the issues are connected anti-war activists who are through healthcare reform advocates or housing or labor rights advocates will thank the reform advocates you name it are now all shining a light on the root cause of inequity you see our foreign policy does in fact limit our options when it comes to health care reform a shareholder capitalism one that demands growth every quarter is to. actually contributing to the assault on collective bargaining issues the american dream
2:53 pm
itself the way it is understood by many as a mistress rags to riches anyone could be a millionaire greed is good grab the most toys before you die each rose should be loosened i used for the greater good and the birth of a new american dream based on equity sustainability and the general welfare of the people should be brought into being and by people i mean people not corporations i was out here during the good for no education. it was a martin luther king day. two thousand people total strangers were out of each other on the streets were having conversations across class bracelet and all the sudden we felt oh. well some of us knew better you can't there's no messiah going to get away by this system and deliver hope and change we can believe so how will the occupy movement that has wisely stayed away from promoting political parties or individual politicians navigate the minefield of the potentially
2:54 pm
co-opting force that is the presidential election cycle now this year is just going to be nuts we've never seen this much money spent on a political process in the history of the world. and this comes at a time for a movement that is determinately to. this mad influx of money and politics so it's going to be a really scary contrast and the challenge of this movement is to create a counter narrative is to show that the justice of its cause is more interesting than anything these candidates can put on television i mentioned at the beginning that this movie is an invitation for you to join the occupy movement but there are no membership dues no papers to sign all that is required is the willingness to see the world as it is and decide that you are going to be part of the solution occupy . less of an organization more of an organism
2:55 pm
a living breathing multi and force that refuses to find mishka will be pushed into a corner this organism is still a baby in the narrative it will be telling him years to come is yours to write what's your alternative that isn't exactly to do when you put it into the city you live in with him coming to your kitty still. to be killed by the people to sit in judgment you just didn't didn't think you'd. just. thankfully in the senate better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answer the first time in decades people will really discussing the world have to be this way and how can one bring a better world into this historical lessons about life and freedom i don't know how
