10:33 pm
because of all the money they make and what they're trying to do to us and everybody else at the body say it's about saving a million dollars next year what do you think that this car negotiation is really about this car 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 them and that's why occupy wall street special is 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 fall markets and they responded by supporting us we went to their last rally at the headquarters they marched back in the park with us and some of them slept there they're going to be in a tough struggle that's why we're having this relationship with labor labor sees as relieved they are i never expected when i first started contacting unions that the response would be store rallies now for quite
10:34 pm
a while and they have to fight and i see people fighting and they see they're fighting the same enemy. and they see the 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 took 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
10:35 pm
we gather tonight knowing that this generation of heroes has made the united states safer and more respected around the world thank you thank you thank you. thank you thank. you to want to get a standing ovation from all democrats and republicans just because i'm alive at the bottom line of the military industrial complex which just so happens the benefits of every congressional district in the country nobody really believes that the undisputed greatest player 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 anything distinguished members of the norwegian nobel committee it's citizens of america. and citizens of the world. i
10:36 pm
receive this honor with deep gratitude and great humility george orwell 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 risk. for far. too many fans for the city. but he was mad. it was not right. that on such a trip i served in iraq in two thousand and four in two thousand and six i was in
10:37 pm
the second battle of. enough allusion november of two thousand and four as 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 that we say we're the greatest country in the world but we go and kill 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 mayors in the united states had 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. one point four trillion dollars
10:38 pm
could convert every home in america to one hundred percent solar energy. times over or it could convert every home in america to one hundred percent wind energy nine times over for groceries for everyone 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 more 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 laden. 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 and ask yourself how many
10:39 pm
orphans 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 the 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 is now. one
10:40 pm
trillion dollars that averages out to twenty four thousand per student it's 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. that a year ago anybody would have predicted that i don't. remember because it would
10:41 pm
have. people out of new york city. because something is real journalists ought to be out here. oh. we'll do whatever he has so many. people might be because he's on a global stage with affordable education. and it is a challenge just because there is in fact the whole student loan debt credit card debt that 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 it come to. not go to college we don't have an unskilled workforce
10:42 pm
anymore for 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's that's where this problem is coming and that's why people are speaking up that's why that why i'm 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 and you can't ever discharge this vein carcassi the idea of debtors union is based on the 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 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
10:43 pm
you're saying no to something in favor of making things better. how do. you. write code you know it's really about who we believe and the truth and the sooner we come to know the we'll just all these effects are somehow also whether it's b.p.a. you know. the tar sands i think the size of florida is from an alberta i was really interested in the tar sands protests this summer because to see thousand plus people get near us like that willfully is pretty amazing fred. the message to
10:44 pm
all of you terry here is tar sands oil is not enough to go in order to get tarzan go out you ask to destroy it and so i think that you know finds out the pipeline but what happens after that you know i know there's a standoff with big oil i think so i think so i don't think it's the environment going to magically go itself because we stop the pipeline and then the thing about the pipeline is one reason that makes this so urgent is that that the scientist james harrison the broke with warrior actually a few decades back for whatever says that the pipeline is it will be. game over. inhabitable or. will the. technology innovation all the least developments around russia we've got the future covered. while. kelly.
10:45 pm

10:46 pm
if. liz. liz. please. please please play a little. live . we. think that he believes we're reading it as we go and i think that
10:47 pm
until the people who are the naysayers come down and actually get a false narrative there's. a good dose of rarity here so steve bruce isn't worth a dime and we want people to be able to believe it's going to take time. that we can't force we're not ready. because we see a better world. because of the. you know this organization of the second that any american dreams. were created. was.
10:48 pm
put in a fiction you know. i am missing that so i don't miss it at the end you know they say all this 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 and think. that when cheney set them to get off it on their own if you don't get any smoking a crack. crack you have to be very easily addictive somebody who was cool six years ago snuck up on a crack rock this is not the occupy movement has become a conduit to venue for talking about this corruption and so folks that move to amend. in my mind. setting the bar for the critique
10:49 pm
that corporations are not persons property not speech constitutional rights are for people over eight hundred fifty six and dred scott the same supreme court so that people are property dred scott affirmed slavery in two thousand cannot the supreme court said property is people killed decisions i didn't see was i was right i was like fuck for some punk told them telling them how about. coming to the bed i'm a single mom and a coalition of individuals organisations coming together with a secular purpose. to where they come to kill and then to make it clear cut because. they do not have been hearing about
10:50 pm
oh that money is not political speak to us. today and how he's coming top post doctrines must be about why we cannot overturn good republican nodded and still allow wealthy individuals to stand out and the money. they were. up. up. up. up. up. up to all costs. he says that he would ha ha ha it's all mine. monstrosity around the power monopolies have you notice she's
10:51 pm
a like this double our society shake he gets me just like you with the excuse that someone's got to put for a show the with as it is not the old they don't build on the backs of the more it's been those we're told forgotten the thing we're all taught by our mothers. the people of the us the pale. well the here we have the most you see all the bull run to the small of his. rocks like so much better just the corporations. because. it was a good cause. was.
10:52 pm
that people are realizing it very least that the way our economic system currently runs is not democratic it's not that official to the vast majority of people and kill 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 in the you look at the military budget city of new jersey but you say spends 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 deed in there 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 don't fear the one percent. in the military industrial complex suddenly we are solutions to all the issues he's selling his money to invest in the new resisting the economy no
10:53 pm
certainly his money to reform it looms them out waste the energy so you can turn roads into solar power that's not possible we can take the fight with our money ran on it and it was frightening. frightening. that it was to some other target like the president. there are easier like the red streak. we are right now. here. they say that the occupy movements major victory to date is that we have changed
10:54 pm
the conversation and people are now debating issues such as western equality at this point i think we can all agree there is no debate there is inequity when it 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 cold they are super rich as a result of their active participation in or their willingness to be accessories to 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 into war activists or through health care 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. see our foreign policy does in fact limit our options when it comes to health care reform
10:55 pm
a shareholder capitalism one that demands growth every quarter is directly contributing to the assault on collective bargaining issues the american dream 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 game 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 and race lines and all the sudden we felt oh. well so this new better you can't there's no messiah going to get elected by this system and deliver hope and change we can
10:56 pm
believe in so how will the occupy movement that has wisely staying away from promoting political parties or individual politicians navigate the minefield of the potentially 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 and flux 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 arctic. but there are no membership dues no papers to sign all that is required is the willingness to see
10:57 pm
the world as it is and decide that you are going to be part of the solution occupy is less of an organization and more of an organism a living breathing multi and force that refuses to find mishka will be pushed into a corner of this organism is still a baby and the narrative it will be telling in the years to come is yours to write what's your alternative but is it time to leave. to get publicity to the city you live in that can come into your kitty feel. pleased to see you getting to sit in judgment. i didn't didn't think you'd. just smile and just. thankfully in the senate better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answers the first time in decades people will really discussing the world have to meet us like and how can we
10:58 pm
bring a better world into this historical lessons about life and freedom by describing coming back and coming back i believe because. i think they could change to place that for a thing that i think from then on. blood .
