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 them and that's right mark if i was serious message no message are exactly the same corporate greed is destroying this country that we cannot let it slip 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 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 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 their fighting the same enemy and they see them reaching out this movement has shown such
9:31 am
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 mass 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 we gather tonight knowing that this generation of heroes has made the united states
9:32 am
safer and more respected around the world hey. thanks. for that you two want to get a standing ovation from both democrats and republicans just keep them alive would be 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 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 goodness they wish members of the norwegian nobel committee citizens of america. and citizens of the world i receive this honor with deep gratitude and great humility george orwell
9:33 am
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 the world didn't change there was a terror there was. a crime committed. for far too many people in too many families the word of the city destroyed but he was mad. the worst of it was not really. feeling. i started in iraq in two thousand and four and two thousand and six i was in the second battle of. aleutian november two thousand and four as a human being and as
9:34 am
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 go to 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 a million people if you're not convinced our foreign policy is morally bankrupt perhaps we should talk about money. in the 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 or five years but i hear you saying that would not do very much to decrease our dependence on foreign oil and there are enough one point four trillion dollars could convert every home in america to one hundred percent solar energy five times over or
9:35 am
it could convert every home in america to one hundred percent wind energy nine times over for groceries for everyone in the country free for two years or 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 decimate to cunt. launch hostilities resulting in over one million innocent civilians dead and counting ask yourself how many orphans are going to bed. tonight in afghanistan we're. willing to fly
9:36 am
a plane. are we prepared to spend it on and then. 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 being 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 now
9:37 am
9:38 am
and real journalists of the are here. so. we'll show it has absolutely chilling all right. hold. on a global stage with affordable education you are rich and it is a miscarriage of justice that there is in fact a whole student loan debt and there is credit card debt when congress raises loan limits schools respond to those increased loan 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 job. to go to college we don't have an unskilled workforce anymore we are for the workforce that we have right now it's socially irresponsible not to go
9:39 am
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 i'm why i'm here there are no bankruptcy protections for any student loans this is the only one and all of us history that you can't ever default on you can ever discharge this it with a car seat 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 a 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 reap. airlines is employing an autonomous strategy of recusal so you were a few see do something you're saying no to something in favor of making things
9:40 am
better. you. know great. like this you know it's really about who we believe in effect throughout this year can we imagine another world which just all these effects are so massive whether it's b.p. dumped a bunch of oil the. tar sands i think of the size of florida as from an alberta i was really interested in the entire sam's protests this summer because to see thousand plus people getting arrested like that willfully is pretty amazing freddie macit still of you. is tar sands oil is not at the gulf you know if you get tired
9:41 am
santayana you have 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 going to magically go itself because we stop a pipeline and the thing about the pipeline and one reason that makes this so urgent is that that nasa scientist james hansen broke or boring or actually a few decades back over our says the piper will be game over. game over means out in. inhabitable.
9:42 am
i. think. i can use a secret laboratory here mccurry was able to build on its most sophisticated robot which on fortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tim's mission to teach music creation why it should care about humans and worry that this is why you should care only on the r g dot com. is he.
9:44 am
we. take the. we're reading as we go and i think that until the people who are the naysayers come down and actually get a false narrative there's. a good dose of rarity here so stupid criticism so the dining and we want people to be able to deliver it to the big time. we can't force we're not going to be good. because we see a better world. because of the. you know this organization of the second that any american dreams. were created. i.
9:45 am
put in a fiction you know. i haven't seen that so i don't mention at the end you know the show you 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 ok. now when cheney said them to get off it on their own even on that in the smoking a crack. crack i mean they're easily addictive somebody who was cool six years ago snuck up on a crack rock that's not on the occupy movement has become a conduit to venue for talking about this corruption and so folks that move to
9:46 am
amend that are really in my mind. set in the bar for the critique that corporations are not persons but he's broken his speech and constitutional rights are for people over eight hundred fifty six and dred scott the same supreme court so that people are property dred scott affirm slavery in two thousand and ten the supreme court said property is people killed decisions i didn't see was was was was fun person from don't try to tell it was you was to become a problem was racial was the culmination was individuals organizations coming together with
9:47 am
a secular purpose demanded to know where they come from to fill in and like to make it clear corporations first that they do not have been hearing. the oath that money here is not political beat us we're being handed them today and how he's coming to top post doctrines must be abolished we cannot overturn going to punish united and still allow wealthy individuals just didn't have enough money. i. love the peace
9:48 am
in that he was kind of that high it was all my. mom loved the power monopolies have you noticed people are like this double our society should we get treated like let's use the excuse that someone's got to lose with some push for race in the wind as it's not going to go be all this you know built on the backs of our morris brothers were all forgotten the stage we're all taught by our mothers. to the people out there to take over the pale. bull the hero he is the most easily honorable brother to the closest. rock but still much better just the big corporations our creation is. somebody who was really good because. he was a good cause i. believe.
9:49 am
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 and then you look at the military budget the upsurge in the military budget being used to spend as much as the whole world combined 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 threatens the future of our economy our infrastructure is going to work as of the face of those two issues which are you know just wrong
9:50 am
and unfair the one percent and the military industrial complex suddenly your solutions to all the issues i mean there's money to invest in the new resisting the economy no certainly has money to reform and whom so that we see energy as you can turn roads into solar panels that's not possible we like. our money ran on it right it was frightening. frightening. place and it was this target like the rest of you there are you here. we are right. here. and.
9:51 am
they say that the occupy movement major victory to date is that we have changed the conversation and people are now debating issues such as wealth inequality 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 are always going to hold they are super rich as a result of their active purchases. patient in for 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 has to acknowledge that most only issues are connected to war activists or through health care reform advocates or housing or labor rights advocates will banks 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
9:52 am
our options when it comes to health care reform 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 euthanised 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 not jewish and. it was a martin luther king day and 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 some of us knew better but you can't there's no
9:53 am
messiah going to get elected by this system and deliver hope and change we can believe in so how will the occupy movement that has wisely stayed 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 then. for a movement that is to terminally 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
9:54 am
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 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 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 it isn't easy to do you feel how did you get to you it was living with him coming to your t.v. still believed to be just about to get an injunction to show you didn't didn't. do. it thankfully and have said it better myself so when they say why occupy
9:55 am
what will your answers be first time in decades people will really discussing does the world have to be this way and how can we bring a better world in the biggest historical lessons about kids who would like to read about it privately coming back and coming back a little bit because they knew it and they knew they could change to places to actually. think something out of. i.
