one maintained these rights for corporations promoted the right of their companies to do whatever they want to round the world in a strange way it was those who might oppose trial right now who set the stage for him to be elected it was the very policies that hold out north america i mean we created huge pockets of poverty we've never had in 100 years the same difference between rich and poor the class difference is incredible they set the stage for a savior obama was supposed to be that savior and he wasn't and what happens after a savior fails you you look to something very different they set the table in my opinion for donald trump's excess do you find this contradictory in any way to the . cabinet full of millionaires a situation where some of them have been accused of misusing their offices in terms of the use of lavishness of those artists or so and so forth. to trump state a promise to drain the swamp if you will i don't think you drained it i think you

moved it into the white house for it in grain a swamp and just moved to dinner. i think every politician has probably abused their office. why don't we totally drain the swamp right away playing up the free altogether. why are we the people more actively involved. don't trust major contributions of our has been completely devalued the idea of regulatory oversight. of betsy the vast department of education or scott pruitt. and these people who are essentially trying to dismantle government oversight from within is regulators people that are jeff's. hundreds of thousands and then you add to it's much a slate of gambits like the top. this recent bank lobbyist. partial repeal of the

dogs they've been on their wish list for ages the stuff thousands tens of thousands of lobbyist essentially are writing the legislation every once in a while a bill will be submitted and the the lobbying firms name will be on it because the congressman messed up you know by not taking it off my question represented god well somewhat mirrors would represent money i'm just curious does it have does the legislation have some connection to alec this bill didn't come to me from alec in answer to your question but the reason i ask is because earlier you passed out a handout that says got walt at the top and it says health care compact and there's a logo right in the middle of that page and i went to the elec website and there is exactly the same the same find the same size in the same logo. on t.v. you know the pain promised after the president is that how to quote do a big number on the dot frank act so he is the financial side to lobbying has

succeeded in persuading the house of representatives to approve the biggest rollback of banking rules frank. the bank lobbyists came to capitol hill and pressured lawmakers to weaken their safeguards to rollback those regulations although it was mostly republicans who voted for this measure democrats who are some of the biggest recipients of bank money also voted with republicans to roll back the signature accomplishment of the obama administration. jim 2nd when i was a leaf on our border with me and i sat. my name is leaf on. why is congress moving to remove some of those dodd frank protections designed to prevent another crisis those were actually extended into the community thank you senator. brand which did not have

a cascade effect i helped write write and i defended it for 9 years and like a lot of people i think that there were areas in which dodd frank said a little heavy on our smaller institutions in some instances having difficulty lending making small loans to small businesses i know you have a history in the banking sector work to goldman sachs do you think that any influence on your decision about this what this is not a wall street bill this was a bill about providing relief to smaller communities to suntrust in space and so many other regional stadium banks are now sarah was small right no no they don't as installed were 10 years after the financial crisis but congress is moving to hold some of these big you voted with republicans softer bill as i write i voted to support the community banks the bill was entirely about you citi group along with some of these community bankers and other banks trade associations really hit the hill had a lot of lobbyist working on this have any what do you think that the banking lobby and their campaign donations had any influence of the 2000

a fiasco that the bank said no no role in that debate if you ask me where do they have any influence over the vote. and banking lobby have any influence on this vote to see office and takes. a lot of the big money center banks were thrilled with this it's the community banks that like. yes i did support the community bank bill and i think when people mention this to others and what things are that makes it really hard all right one last question you said the regional banks are doing very well thank you. are you concerned that the banking lobby bank lobbyists had influence over this bill that they have too much influence here on capitol hill absolutely i think the bank the gun lobby the pharma lobby all have too much influence here in congress this bill 252500 1000000 in the kinds of things j.p. morgan city think the kinds of things that talking about are not small big. so i

don't know that anybody with a straight face can say this is an answer to that question this is a. small banks in order to give big banks really great and necessary regulation thank you so much take care. in response to obama's one effort to clean up influence peddling in washington lobbyist simply deregistered became more secretive thousands of lobbyist said we're not even going to comply with the registration system and we're going to move into the shadows and continue to influence government but without disclosing what we're doing on paper there are something like 9000 or 10000 registered lobbyist but in reality that the number is closer 210-0000. on paper lobbyist spend about 3000000000 or so every year influencing the federal government but in reality that number is closer to 9 or 10000000000.

who served in the bush administration now. and general company that received a lot of military contracts what do you how do you feel about this issue of senior military officials government officials going to large firms that receive major military contracts. as executive vice president of a major defense firm that's received billions of dollars in defense contracts. to interface with the pentagon have you spoken to either obama administration officials or trouble ministration officials on contracting issues. excuse me fran townsend you were just a quick moment i don't want to take too much of your time. shake and i host a welcome to washington fundraisers for you my law firm on k. street absolutely at 500 dollars and you can pick up 2025 grand.

started in the. history of the species very much a history of domination exploitation no pressure in the hatred contempt and then the countervailing forces the count of veiling voices against domination against each against and so you've got this struggle going on but that's what democracy is all about how do you interrupt the dominance cycles of domination oprah ssion hatred in b.n. resent we is concern for compassion and especially a concern for the most vulnerable. poor and the the weak. and the history democracy is like the history of the blues.

because the blues is about catastrophe overwhelming catastrophe that seems to suffocate every effort. i'm improvement. and yet one steel keeps keepin on one steel tries to tell the truth one steel tries to fight for justice looks like you don't make a breakthrough good morning heartache here it is again. i was but is also one and would you recognize now i'm so surprised when you have break through the breaks it was a real and so it isn't democracy. i am. one step forward 2 step. 3 steps forward 2 steps back that's the history of who we are

as a species both wonderful and terrible. aspirational and visionary on the one hand. and all present. in the blues understand can't you check both polls at same time and always preserve not your optimism preserve your hope your prisoner of hope the corporate elites they want to devour. they want to conquer it it is a strategy as old as the leaks who emerged from the. speech. cities in california los angeles and san francisco in particular but their biggest threat. black males who are involved in this crime and violence so keep the political commentary to yourself or as someone once said shut up and.

we'll be right back. that's the fundamental threat. they do all that they tend to cultivate divisions all the take a few. industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women cells on the streets many of them under age. police reveal a taste of their daily challenge if you're going to exploit a child here in los angeles we're going to. see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight 6 trade. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air

force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area russia. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news or direction chaz where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again.

seemed wrong. but i. just don't. get to see palin just the answer. and it. equals betrayal. common ground. charge the act of printing paper money. promising. therefore i am. political power with their money if you can acquire assets with their money it gives you that god complex that we have so much of around the world and.

come crashing down. big as the regulator world that we started 1st ours was roebuck. and his brother was the producer. my nephew had killed the video. stand in front of makeshift sheets rest in peace had his name. and then 7 days later my cousin who i was close with. he was shot dead in front of his

kids he was walking into his house somebody walked up he had his daughter girl. in my face. one of the. it's like you know our family was a good family when you should come to your environment. and it's just like that reality i'm so tired of best cycle that we see in a city this happens you know i mean we had to eat some nights so i had to go do what i had to do you know maybe in the streets and ran the streets for. you know and i'm just blessed that i'm able to be here and be a parent now i guess my whole focus on life is just to give market a better life to my. president we have to understand it's because of course we're talking about capitalism more production you know is talking about global realities

because a profit maximisation is one that it lead to concerned about gaining access to low wage markets were that has devastated so many poor working people of all colors places like camden where you have precious black brothers and sisters you've got white supremacy shot through this is the same capitalist process. and of course as historically the case slave holding capitalism for over 200 years jim crow capitalism former 90 years and the jim crow jr had to do with what not just devastating industrial working class as a do the escalation of mass incarceration only to to cripple the educational system only to indecent owing to communities and families. out there racism is. terrifying it's core to the problem so is the sexism which we don't talk about

enough they are essentially promising to her store hierarchy in which people know their place which men get their place this is what we refer to as patriarchy this is a society that runs around the sort of structure of a family where the man is the head of the family except the man is the head of society jam to get d.'s white supremacy forces capitalist forces patriarchal forces almost checkmate. precious brothers and sisters. these were not accidental bits and pieces in different places it all fit together in a very old fashioned way. it's all really about taking us back. to essentially a pre democratic period. it was all really about

a battle that the losers after 9800 never except. for trade as the defeat of their right as the only as the most powerful people. so bit by bit they put it back together again. and that's why you know in 1905 i felt i had to say things like we're in the midst of a coup d'etat in slow motion. the world is a. college of corporations. inexorably determined by the. immutable . of business. the world. is a business must be. spent since.

we've lost the ability to think. images on screens are ubiquitous. the truth is. every town in america certainly illegal immigration is 100 percent about voting 24 hours a day the democratic push brusha narrative collusion narrative. we are bombarded with images. and those images are confused with no. clothes no water that turned up. we confuse how we are made to feel with.

the game we keep success that's what it's all about success trump stakes are by far the best tasting most flavorful beef you've ever had because one america is united america is totally unstoppable although i'll be totally honest with you even if it's not united we're unstoppable so i don't work. and understanding how systems of power work which you can only grasp. by investing yourself in a print based culture reading john ralston saul reading noam chomsky. but in a post literate society the books are still there but nobody picks them up anymore .

oh. you do great to meet you good to see you yeah really great to meet you need a great owner well known as mine no. question which american. but without tool of magination vision and courage shattering the indifference and sharing the callousness and that's the challenge i discern fight back in the attacks but also how did you conceive of every day people being actually sees with the fire for a better world alternative but i think they are if they can figure out how to do it if they can feel that they are involved that it's about them and i think the great disaster of the last. 30 years is that a large part of. the liberal elite has basically given in to a large part of the themes of being basically anti democratic elite and so they

they they they're then created to discourse a top down discourse which excluded people is it which really made those people who are the who are the guarantors of democracy the holder of the citizen made them feel excluded and once they feel excluded they start getting mad and they get mad or there's a new day coming those signs of hope a younger generation concerned about not do psychological crisis the planet concerned above the walls. how do you make it in though it's unpredictable in indian history is a mystery just like love in life you just don't know we none of us have control you know when the the ruling classes think that they're minded but they did not almighty they're going to fall sooner or later we don't know what form we just hope that isn't neal fast as we hope that it doesn't return to the most barbaric and beast. of aspects of of our condition the human condition that's inside of all of

us that's inside the hatred and the gangsta like proclivities inside every human being. and i think there's. pressure there is. yes we're all there still it's all kind of. that whereas i was hungry and i think then date i help everybody or don't quote whatever advice. take we were. there's their camp. right now kind of tell me i have to be here and help the people here 1st. when i went down that then i'll do that i put other people 1st. you know i've always been fascinated by them are modified. strictly in august you

see them heading south. and of course they're going to head south across the united states to mexico where they're all winter. and it takes about 3 generations to do the round trip so in fact known butterfly can be a god. there is no butterfly who knows how to do this who knows where to go. they're part of a civilization they're part of a of a community they're part of something which understands without knowing. they're a reminder to me of really how civilizations work we're all part of something just deeply deeply injured and this is the enormous flaw in the corporate star game and that you can sort of slice everybody up into their interest groups and then get somebody who's a con of you know miscellany and trump like figure who uses emotion to hold it all

together and isn't actually the way society works and all. some fosli grossman's great novel wasn't she. writes about the evils of both communist factions the evils. of any ology stand seek to exterminate poll numbers of opponents people whether they're condemned by because of class or race. and in the novel he talks about the power of human kindness which he witnessed as a war correspondent he was in stalingrad and went all the way to believe. i am he said that the power of the human kindness means that.

it is not humankind that is and that in the face of evil. but evil it is impotent in the face of humankind. to it because it is never able to crush that small kernel of class i and i think that's right. i i i think that. we probably only save the world one person at a time while the hours away years of all. that those small unheralded acts of compassion. are what keep us human and ultimately are the seeds by which we can rise up against. the i.

already or way we've already made her are we were you. are unaware. are her to. be your. today was. my.

is you'll be dia a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what is faith.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or a maybe in the shallows. as russia be meddling in the u.k. politics according to initial reports the answer is maybe kind it and the usual highly likely report isn't done also secretary of state might bump a 0 use on a crusade against china does anyone outside the beltway really care.

we go to work some straight home. european tourism takes another hit as several countries impose travel restrictions on spain which is seeing a surge in cases it comes as the head of the world health organization warns that the had is worsening. the fund in the news every. 6 weeks the total number of cases. also this hour anti-racism unrest continues to grip american cities with less than $100.00 days to go before the presidential election we assess the impact it's having. and a government recommended news website aimed at.
