11:32 pm
are the not the same sort of a time of record profits of rise or disaster the very same people that have made it look at it in a rich corporation that they now want to you will benefit acceptable from up one if you arise that it should be the poster child for corporate greed because of all the money they make and what they're trying to do to us and everybody else that the body saves about seven million dollars next year what do you think that this economy goshen 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 democrats right occupy wall street smash there's no message we 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 film 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
11:33 pm
them slept there they're going to be in a tough struggle that's why we're having 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 their 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 goodness 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.
11:34 pm
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 safer and more respected around the world the eco thank you thank you thank. you to want to get a standing ovation from both democrats and republicans just because i'm alive at the bottom line of the military industrial complex which just so happens to the benefits of every congressional district in the country nobody really believes that
11:35 pm
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 a thank you distinguished 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 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. there is.
11:36 pm
far. too many fans to see. that he was mad. it was not right. feeling. i started in iraq in two thousand and four in two thousand and six i was in the second ballot. in 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 go to five thousand troops said 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 tax payers in the united states had need one point four trillion dollars for total war spending
11:37 pm
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. over. 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 provide scholarships to every college student in america and award them a fifty five hundred dollar grant seven times over with 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
11:38 pm
school teacher for the next six years instead of. 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 on
11:39 pm
11:40 pm
my. my. my of have been thinking of getting your go anybody predicted that cold rainy day in november of one. our young people out of trance in new york city and she's across something history real journalists be our year. old without. which we all know it has absolutely chilling all right. hold. on a global stage with affordable education you are rich and it is
11:41 pm
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 and not 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 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 inquired here there are no bankruptcy protections for any student loans because the only one and all of us history that you can't ever default on you can ever just charge this it with a car see if the idea is to you debtors union is based on the labor union model and what they did effectively when our economy was very different when there was
11:42 pm
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 to you debtors union could renegotiate a better contractor arrangement with our lenders so that we can repay our loans is employing an autonomous strategy. recusal so you were fused to do something you're saying no to something in favor of making things better. you. know great. like you know it's really about who we believe in the next year can
11:43 pm
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 that the size of florida is 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 your year is tar sands oil is not at the gulf you know you can't guard standpoint you have to destroy it and so i think that you know find some 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 is 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 who broke or boring or actually a few decades back or whatever. says the piper will be game over game over means
11:44 pm
11:45 pm
11:46 pm
. take the. we're reading it 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 we're awaiting the data and we want people to be able to use the if it's to take 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.
11:47 pm
in style put in a fiction you know. i hear or see this item of them at the end you know they 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 is still 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 we can expect them to get off it on their own even on that and the smoking a crack. crack rock can be very easily addictive somebody who was cool six years ago snuck up on a crack rock this is not on the occupy movement has become
11:48 pm
a conduit to venue for talking about this corruption and so folks that move to amend are really in my mind i. said. for the critique that corporations are not persons property not 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 go decisions are you see was was was was spokesperson for them don't tell me i'm telling. you i was to become president of that i really should
11:49 pm
was a coalition not individuals organisations coming together with a secular purpose demanding to know where they come from to show and then to make it clear correlation first that they do not have been hearing a male human rights oh that money is not political beat us and i was basically an impudent how he's come it into my own doctrines must be abolished we cannot overturn going to punish united and still allow wealthy individuals to step out and the money.
11:50 pm
i. was. kind of that high it was all my. love about the power monopolies have you noticed people are like this double our society safe we get treated like let's use the excuse that someone's got to lose with some point for a sure win as it's not going to go be all this big you know built on the backs of our morris brothers were all forgotten the stage we're all poor by our mothers. the people out there to take over the pale. bull the hero he is the most usually on the bull run to the pulpit. rabbi but still much better if we just remember the corporations our creation is. somebody who really does because. he was a good cause to believe.
11:51 pm
that. people are realizing it very least that the way our economic system currently runs he's not democratic it's not beneficial 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 the united states spends 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 their infrastructure
11:52 pm
is going to work as a face of those two issues which are you know just war going on here in the one percent of the military industrial complex suddenly your solutions to all the issues i mean there's money to invest in the new resisting the economy you know certainly there's money to reform and looms and that we see energy as you can turn roads into solar panels that's not possible we like. our russian friends on the. right. right. place and it was this target like the british. there are you here. we are right. here.
11:53 pm
they say that the occupy movements 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 always going to coal they are super rich as a result of their active purchases. patient in for 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 only issues are connected to war activists or through health care reform advocates or
11:54 pm
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 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 euthanized 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 and two thousand people total strangers were out of each other on the streets were having conversations across class and race lines and all
11:55 pm
the sudden we felt oh. well some of us knew better than you can there's no 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 in. for a movement that is to terminally i guess 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
11:56 pm
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 is less of an organization and more of an organism a living breathing multi and force that refuses to find a mishna will be pushed into a corner of this organism is still a baby and the narrative that will be telling in the years to come is yours to write. what your alternative it isn't easy to do to get the audience you should listen to you it was living with him coming closer to the feel. of the disability and just. didn't didn't know. how. to how he thanks lee
11:57 pm
in the senate better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answers the first time in decades people will really discussing does the world happen leaders like and how can we bring a better world in the biggest historical lessons about kids who like to read about it or have to keep coming back and coming back a little bit because they moved. and they knew they could change the place and to actually. think something out of. a. story i. heard her.
