12:35 am
the maintenance of self-respect and so if that's threatened in some way then you see this violent and aggressive reaction. police make say two teenage boys and fifteen year old girl. on a gun fight in a birthday party or a privately owned club this is not unusual they've had a lot of people killed in this little in the past few years high school students killing each other you know in and you know this is you never know when you're in you know the wrong and. i would love to walk to work or ride a bike to work you know put his only like two miles down the road but i'm too scared to ride a bike or walk home at midnight i always worry about walking. always so with half the lights out right now. you know it's very dangerous place. you know all of the sixteen homicides last year. returns
12:36 am
a lot more people remember church police and community are trying to address some epidemic of violent crime. much of it rooted in drugs street sweeper shot good twelve twelve gauge drills in this drill magazine no cites because it's not designed to meet any inside. the city it has come well i'm sick of the stress that this is this devastating look at looking. back thank you makes me and.

12:38 am
you are now. get caught with a gram a dope one point five. i would hurt anybody but myself i wouldn't sell it you know i don't give it to kids or anything like that and i go to court and i would try to hear anything that they're used it three strikes against and they gave me a twenty five year sentence i've been in a box just live with bigger than this for the last seventeen years and to be locked up and treated as i've been treated here there's not a man alive that would feel the same way that i do now they've created a ball i hate me yeah i mean the pinotage but you know something i've never never been caught with the thing i've got to get naked in front of
12:39 am
females and these officers and i got to bend over and show them my. yeah humiliating it it's beyond it i had all i had all. i had those kicked out on the robertson unit i was beaten almost to death they broke eight ribs they dislocated my arms mildly they broke my jaw they kicked our odd greil they broke my ocular bone. but you know something the first time that i didn't get my head ripped off three days later it didn't hurt as bad and in a bit and in that did not became a must i hate people and you know how sad that is to say. you know i have been treated so bad back here that yes i could i could actually now
12:40 am
i could kill a man you know not really could i could kill one of these locals and out in it net say and it's sad because that you know. i was raised as a net and what about going to do now mr around when i get out what am i going to do give me a job at mcdonald's i'll be fifty four years old came down when i was twenty six i was in college i was taking a vote. what about a good one i'm not going to do now because what you were before you come to the penitentiary is not what you're going to be when you're released. this is a country that began with the language of liberty and yet we have more people in prison to tap into than anybody in the world. and. there's
12:41 am
no doubt that being rich makes it less likely it will be incarcerated even if something terrible. says. so. this is the richest year ever human history the rich are getting richer this evidence are less and these are creators that how plutocrats these or do works making things happen when they do well we all do well. there's a religion that says everyone will benefit there's almost nothing to do with the real world so it completely fails in the real world was the room word it's not a failure for the of fraction of one percent of the population that's accumulating wealth you know beyond the dreams of avarice the influence of money in politics has
12:42 am
risen dramatically in recent decades the people at the top have more money what they've been doing has been giving bigger contributions to politicians and in return asking for lower tax rates on themselves and less stringent regulations on their companies from humble beginnings in small town arkansas to the world's leading retailer wal-mart has come a long way since one nine hundred sixty to no one except for maybe santa who never lost sight of his original idea could have predicted the company's remarkable growth what about the same case because of. a national for. registry. and they are highly respected the communities in which they live and there they do respectable things they. give money to hospitals and stuff. and yet you know in many communities people who work at will are. good ways but also getting food
12:43 am
so basically the public is paying. for fiscal year in two thousand and twelve while more heads grow sales about four hundred forty six billion and then the net sales were sixteen point seven but almost seventeen billion dollars net profit i have no problem when it comes to make you know profit like i said i have my own business but when you're making a profit at the expense of the people who are doing the work and they're their own food stamps it's a moral issue if you're making a decision are we going to cut our so we can keep profit up you know what your doing. here's what people have been saying about redacted in night the senate is full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch a lot of the really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of party america is doing the same we are
12:44 am
apparently better than. the c. people you've never heard of love redacted tonight my president of the world bank though they. sent us an e-mail. seems wrong but i. just don't. get to shape out just. to add to it and gain from it because the trail. when some find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
12:45 am
we've been finding that wealthier individuals are more likely to perceive the pursuit of self interests as opposed to collective interest as being moral and favorable or even observing this moralization of greed this greed is good mentality this culture absolutely selects for psychopath thinkers you know people who literally have no empathy whatsoever because once you have successfully cleaved off at school considerations you're incredibly efficient i think there's nothing wrong with aspiring to be comparable i don't even know that there's anything wrong with aspiring to be rich but the aspiration of wall street is how you money and you money is the amount of money so vast that you could pick up the phone or save you to whoever you wanted without repercussion. one of the necessary illusions for the general public is that we live in
12:46 am
a capitalist economy but the rich don't believe for a minute of the insist on a powerful state to protect them from market discipline so if goldman sachs makes a risky transaction. they're basically protected if it crashes they can run through the nanny state with their trap and the builder good morning this is a pivotal moment for america's economy. problems that originated in the credit markets and first showed up in the area of subprime mortgages have spread throughout our financial system it's been a dismal common wall street last i think out just. fine so long yesterday the dow closed down five hundred investors agreed that this is a whole week to see whether or not the government can step in and heal the sick man in the i'm a strong believer in free enterprise. under normal circumstances i believe companies that make bad. sition should be allowed to go out of business but these
12:47 am
are not normal circumstances you know the president has said over and over it's the people's money. right about that it is the people's money but now it's the people's debt. this is the pain that will stay with me for the rest of my life but you got to keep four hundred eighty million dollars i have a very basic question for you is this fair. the spectacle all of these bankers who have contributed hugely to bringing the western economies to the knees and you're still going home putting themselves money beyond the dreams of avarice in most people's eyes and they really think it was but sometimes i meet them socially and they say max when you understand this is how capitalism works i say this is not how capitalism work this is talk up of blues one goes hopelessly disastrously wrong.
12:48 am
one. of your series. of the best person to speak of the wall street that is i sit across from them. you know i see the humanity of the people on wall street are working harder now than ever before not knowing whether they could ever move up the ladder and when will this rat race and for the . dr olden pass is that true because psychology and probably more than anything else. is known for helping people manage i'm certain. and maintain optimal motivation and performance in times of uncertainty. but. it's become
12:49 am
a mission for me to help people out there in this rough time because i feel like in my practice as a psychologist my clients are looking to me for answers my dissertation is the first study in the united states conducted in the last fifty years it was called the casualties of wall street and assessment of the walking wounded and my findings basically showed that we are currently in a crisis of connectivity. the elderly. should not bail out those who made the reckless decision to buy a home they knew they could never afford. that word came up
12:50 am
a lot o. greedy homeowners this is serious about for people who bought t.v. their second mortgages and it's their father and they were greedy that's the mentality blame the victim. i kept using my credit cards to live and then i got those where i was maxed out and i'm at the. to be moving. i've got to go very soon within the next few weeks you know. this is this is the. there's a lot of data. suggesting that social mobility is an all time low people despite their hard work on it's achieving the american dream. so who is it that achieves wealth it's often those individuals that are born into wealth in the first place.
12:51 am
i actually feel like i'm blessed with having everything i need. to look here. could not ask for anything more than who she's living. dead fifteen years old i left big stone gap ginia and i hitchhiked across this entire continent to southern california. and i had a good job. heterosexual should have a life was good i was thinking about going to hollywood be the next tom cruise or somebody you know me. but it didn't happen my to.
12:52 am
feel that mainstream school is a great place for kids who are even slightly above the curve. so it probably homeschool if they're not staying on track meeting the milestones meeting the goals they need to meet it's going to impact long term what their outcome looks. no challenge is more urgent. no debate is more important we can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well while a growing number of americans barely get by. or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot and everyone does their fair share and everyone plays by the same set of leaders. it's not the case that inequality is attributable to bad apples but rather that the barrel is bad the barrel is what's contaminating
12:53 am
the outposts it's the institutions that prioritize getting ahead above all else that it's ok to break the law if that means that your going to make more profits for the company with no attention to what the consequences are for the system as a whole. what i object to is the feeling that there's some mechanism out about which you can do nothing new to that's not simply not true chief if you want to change this they can change it and never. let a busy a tail an m.p. it's a day i. have a voice for my fellow worker and everybody this. rochelle mom to what would you like to say to the boss held for whom you work i don't blame any one particular company the truth is unless the government actually acknowledge
12:54 am
the importance of the home test within this country people are going to continue to be failed these problems a deep rooted within the system and the system that needs to change my name is janet sparks and i am a wal-mart associate at store number eleven zero two when i think about the fact there are see my dues made over twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart associate. with all due respect i have to say i don't think that's right. i wish we'd never gotten into this center wish we'd never have these extraordinary high rewards i didn't realize that the was going to happen maybe all those orders
12:55 am
knew perfectly well that this would be the result of it but i think the plot is unfortunate some are regretted i think you know you sort of always have it maybe in the back of your mind that you know you're not part of something good but i don't have a clear sense of why i'm doing something actively harmful and then when the financial crisis hit i started to feel really uncomfortable and i asked my boss will the public ever forgive us for this and meaning the bail out and he based i said to me well here's the thing the public always forgets the public forgot after the savings and loan crisis the public forgot after long term capital management blew up the public always forgets and the public will forget again and we will you know move on and it will go back to normal so don't worry about it.
12:58 am
our lab here. much as you. get it out here a little easier. than only a shot at it being the. ticket that you get outside of the mike on the and. by then got a session on the nod that. by then is a shift in the long. haul. not a side of the first going on more. so. you know so it was if you have the multiple injuries among can't connect them to yourself you will see the look of the show's real you know mars on the phone to call
