they are made in america on the. i guess. i work for. my father is the way and an assistant to the man i'm speaking with here vice president of seat anyway district one chris shelton one of the groups c.w.a. represents the rising waters and as of june two thousand and twelve the horizon workers he represents have been working without a contract for over a year except this round of contracts is different the rising is trying to break everything my father worked for his whole career could be gone within his lifetime so many diverse people who are many walks of life recognize that we are the not percent of the time of record profits of rice it is very safe people that have made the move into a rich corporation that they now want to go to will benefit acceptable from up want to view the rise it should be the poster child for corporate greed because of all
8:31 pm
the money they make and what they're trying to do to us and everybody else at the bar you say it's about saving a million dollars next year but what do you think that this car negotiation 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 them and that's right occupy wall street smashes and on message are exactly the same corporate greed is destroying this country and we cannot let it we have very close ties with the communication workers before september seventeenth we were already supporting the fall markets and responded by supporting us when their last rally at. but 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 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
8:32 pm
now for quite a while and they have to fight and they see people fighting and they see they're 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 in 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
8:33 pm
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 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 to them but it itself and every congressional district in the country nobody really believes that the undisputed greatest baier 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 goodness a wish members of the norwegian nobel committee citizens of america.
8:34 pm
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 the world didn't change there was a terror there was. a crime that it down for far too many people until they found the word of the city destroyed the city was a mass. the word it was not really. feeling. i
8:35 pm
started in iraq in two thousand and four and two thousand and six i was in the second battle of. illusion 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 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 tax payers in the united states have paid 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 that i hear you saying that would not do very much to decrease our dependence
8:36 pm
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 it could convert every home in america to one hundred percent wind energy nine times over for groceries for everyone in the country three 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.
8:37 pm
set to explode. 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
8:38 pm
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 larger than credit card debt in this country and it comes just as an entire generation is just starting out. the the. the . because. i. think that if your goal anybody could have predicted that the cold rainy day in
8:39 pm
november two thousand you would have allowed our young people out of the streets in new york city. because something has changed and we journalists are the are here. so. we are so it has absolutely chilling all right. hold. on a global stage with affordable education. and it is a miscarriage of justice that there is in fact a whole lot of student loan debt then 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
8:40 pm
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'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 this is the only one and all of us history that you can't ever default on you can't ever discharge this. the idea is to 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 day negotiated with the factories for better working conditions so that they could go back to work just that same way the new debtors union could renegotiate a better contractor arrangement with our lenders so that we can repay our loans
8:41 pm
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. how do. you. break a code like this you know it's really about who we believe and that's who we. just saw all these effects so whether it's you know. the tar sands i think of the size of florida 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
8:42 pm
willfully is pretty amazing fred a message to all of you to gary here is tar sands oil is not at the gulf in order to get tarzan's you have to destroy it and so i think that you know find some of 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. scientist james hansen the pro club are actually conducted that. says that the pipeline is. game over the side in. and out of a ball or. whether
8:43 pm
you dive from high or to the depths. catch the power of the wind or drift in the beauty of the currents. being well prepared is a must and if you're lucky. you'll never forget your experience we only need them a screen that's going to be having. in the flight see up close and below the ice on our team.
8:44 pm
russians would be soon which were bright and if you knew about someone from the finest impressions. his firm stance on t.v. don't come. out as.
8:45 pm
a bit of gossip. but if the. we. believe. we're reading it as we go. and i think that until the people who are the naysayers. and actually get a false narrative there's. a good host of. the old
8:46 pm
student criticism so. we want people to be able to use the if it's to take time. we can't force it we're not ready. because we see a better world. it would be. you know it is organisation but the second that any american dreams. were created. in style put in a fiction you know. i am missing this i don't miss it at the end you know they show you all this stuff and then they sit around somebody who has issues and problems
8:47 pm
and they talk about you know how badly that person is still and what they're going to do what they will 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. i mean crack rock can be very easily addictive somebody who was cool six years ago that obama crack rock this is not the occupy movement has become a conduit to you then you are talking about this corruption and so folks that move to amend that are really in my mind. set. for the critique that corporations are not persons property not speech and constitutional rights are 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
8:48 pm
court said property is people killed decisions i didn't say that was was was spokesperson for the mom told me i'm telling. you i was. coming because of that i really should wasn't that coalition was individuals organizations coming together with a secular purpose to demand to know where they come from to show and then to make it clear cut i just heard that they do not have been hearing a maybe tomorrow oh that money here is not political beat us and i was going to do and how he was coming into my own doctrines
8:49 pm
mushy about why we cannot overturn good republican ideas and still allow wealthy individuals to step out and the money. i. was. kind of puzzled ha 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 push for race in the wind as it's not going to go be all that they don't build on the backs of our morris
8:50 pm
brothers were all forgotten the face we're all taught by our mothers. to the people out there to take a look at the bill. well the harry is the most easily on the bull run to the pulpit . rock but you better just remember that corporations are our creation is. somebody who was really good because. he was that was my. belief. that. people are realizing it very least that the way our economic system currently runs is not democratic it's not beneficial to the vast majority of people and kill we have some
8:51 pm
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 obscene the military which uses as much as the whole world can buy 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 are you for starters foreigners are as if you face of those two issues which are you know just wrong and unfair the one percent the military industrial complex suddenly your solutions to all the issues i mean there's money to invest in a new breed sustainable economy no selling his money to reform at home so that we see energy costs you can turn roads into solar panels that's not possible we like
8:52 pm
with our money ran on it right it was frightening. frightening. place it was this was a target like the rest of you around here by the way. we. might. 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 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
8:53 pm
rich because of some force of nature like summer morphing into fall or heat always going to the hole they are super rich as a result of their active participation 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 or 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 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
8:54 pm
a millionaire greed is good grab the most toys before you die each owes who 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 not ration. it was a marvelous. and she thought. people total strangers were out of each other on the streets were having conversations across class race a lot and all the sudden we felt. well some of us knew better but you can't 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
8:55 pm
on a political process in the history of the world. and this comes at a time for a movement that is determinately a good close 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 is less of an organization and more of an organism a living breathing multi ten force that refuses to find mishka will be pushed into
8:56 pm
a corner this organism is still a baby in the narrative it will be telling him years to come is yours to write what you wrote turn it it isn't the issues that i believe to deliver you the audience you get to get the image can be done with dr judy still it is a big deal about you getting to sit in judgment will be to shut down pump you don't think if you do. still revolution apologized. thankfully in the senate better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answer be the first time in decades people will really discussing the world have to be this way and how can we bring a better world and i think this historical lessons of. life and freedom i still have to come back and come back a little bit because. i think they could safely place actually the next
8:57 pm
thing from the amount of time.
