within his lifetime so many divorced people were many walks of life that recognize that we are the not percent of the time of record profits of rights it is ours to the very same people that have made good look at it and in a rich corporation that did not want to you later will benefit acceptable from mach 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 seventy million dollars next year what do you think that this kind of 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 them and that's right occupy wall street smarts is not on 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 foam workers and they responded by supporting us we went to
2:29 am
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 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 mass work i don't even think they identify the enemy as the ruling class mr speaker. mr vice president. members of
2:30 am
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 fought. 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 thank you. thank you thank you. thank you. thank you thank. you to want to get a standing ovation from both democrats and republicans just to see the bottom line of the military industrial complex which just so happens that it itself and every
2:31 am
congressional district in the country somebody 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 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 didn't change it was
2:32 am
a terror. there was. a crime that. were hard for the people to examine. the city through. the prism of. the words it was not right to feel. that. i started in iraq in two thousand and four and two thousand and six i was in the second battle of. enough illusion november. 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 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
2:33 am
perhaps we should talk about money. 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 end you will energy costs more to every household in america for five years but i hear you saying that would not do very much to decrease our dependence on foreign oil there 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 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
2:34 am
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 ask yourself how many orphans are going to get clenched fists and. how many. are we prepared to spend on inventing that. do everything right 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
2:35 am
mean. was there reason for me to be in debt good being of all the time bombs on 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 larger than credit card debt in this country and it comes just as an entire generation is just starting out. the.
2:36 am
the. the. the. that a year ago anybody would have predicted that. november. you would. see the york city. something as g's. three journalists be on here. so. we'll show. you some children ok. hold. on a global stage with affordable education you receive it is
2:37 am
a miscarriage of justice is it fair to hold a student loan debt is pretty bad 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 this is the only one and all of us history that you can't ever default on you can ever just charge this with a car see the idea of do you debtors union is based on
2:38 am
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 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. like you know it's really about. this year we.
2:39 am
just saw these effects are so many also whether it's you know. the tar sands i think of the size of florida from an alberta i was really interested in the tar sands protests this summer because to see thousand plus people getting arrested like that willfully it's pretty amazing that a massive style of yours. is tar sands oil is not have to go in order to get tarzan out you half 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 a pipeline and then the thing about the pipeline and one reason that makes this so urgent is that that nasa scientist james hansen who broke with warrior actually a few decades back or whatever says the piper i mean it will be game over game over
2:40 am
means out in front on the inhabitable. language. because we don't have any real synaesthesia some. choose the consensus to. choose the opinions that you. choose the stories to to. choose .
2:41 am
2:42 am
2:43 am
we. take a piece. we're reading it as we go. and i think that till the people who are the naysayers. and actually get it all. a good host a rarity here still steve bruce isn't so. and we want people to be able to believe it's going to take time but. we can't force it we're not ready. because we see a better world. because of the. organization of the second that any american dreams
2:44 am
. were created. in style put in a fiction you know. how do you see this intervention at the end you know the show you all the sex 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. now we can expect them to get off
2:45 am
and on their own even on that in the smoking a crack. crack got 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 the real. in my mind i. said in the bar for the critique that corporations are not persons property not speech constitutional rights are for people over eight hundred fifty six in dred scott the same supreme court so that people are property dred scott affirm slavery in two thousand the supreme court said property is people killed decisions i didn't see. was was
2:46 am
was was thought for some putting i'm telling them how about. a single day culmination of individuals who are given the issues coming together with a secular purpose to get to where they come to feel and then tell a clear cut because. they do not have been hearing about. that money it is not political speak to us. today and how he's coming top doctrines must be about why we cannot overturn the functionality and still allow wealthy individuals to step out and the money oh thank you.
2:47 am
i. think of. you all talk. these are the he would ha ha ha ha ha it was all my. monstrosity look around at the power monopolies have you notice she's pulled a like this double our society shay she gets treated like last year with the excuse that someone's got to listen put her race in the wind as if it's not all this big you know built on the backs of our morris brothers we're told forgotten the stage we're all taught by our mothers should have been the people out there today show us the pale coolest full day here we have the most you see all of those drugs to the small of his. bronx like so much better if we just remember that corporations
2:48 am
are. people who somebody just. cause. he was the cause was because he was a thank you thank. god. 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 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 in the we look at the military budget york city of new jersey which used
2:49 am
to spend as much as the whole world somebody at a time when our infrastructure is literally a deep level grade according the american society of civil engineers we get deep in there these days drip is the future of our economy very infrastructure is going to work and so if you face of those two issues which are you're just working on fear the one percent. in the military industrial complex suddenly we are solutions to the issues he's selling his money to invest in the new green sustainable economy will certainly his money to reform it looms them out wasting energy so you can turn roads into solar panels that's not possible we like with our money in france i don't have it. right me. right. he said it was this target like the rest. of the earth
2:50 am
by the way and. it's. we are right. here. 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 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 participation in or their willingness to be accessories to criminally rig the homicidal force of
2:51 am
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 to anti-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 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 used and 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
2:52 am
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 we had conversations across class and race lots and all the same we felt oh. 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 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
2:53 am
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 arctic. but there are no membership dues no papers to cite 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 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 it isn't up to me to do you. any you can limit him coming to your kitty still. has to be disembodied to sit in judgment.
2:54 am
didn't you. just. thanks lee could have said it better myself so when they say why occupy what will your answer for the first time in decades people were really discussing the world happen leaders like and how can we bring a better world and this is still a whole lessons about life and freedom i still have a continent that is coming back a bit because. i think they could change to crazy to actually putting this thing from them and.
