democracy is weakening. conference's it is strengthening. and none of us has chosen this route for a society. in spite of which our elites quite happily continue down that. this is a multi lane highway. the kind of savage laceration. that runs directly over the center of camden new jersey so that commuters in and out of philadelphia never have to see this city to sacrifice.

i am. and that's what we've done we've rendered those trapped in the sacrifice owns the invisible. these people have been not just rendered invisible through infrastructure but they've been rendered invisible through a media which doesn't report their story at all. and we should also know that they're completely trapped they can't get loans rents are actually quite high in camden although you're living in the la potato conditions. and this was one of the major

manufacturing centers of the united states. you used to have r.c.a. victor. the famous italian tenor caruso used to come here to. campbell's soup one of the largest companies in the country. this was a major port up until world war 2 battleships were built here and then just in the port in world war 235000 people were employed.

from a great admirer of the canadian intellectual john ralston saul who used the term corporate coup d'etat in his book the unconscious civilization was a very important book for me because it it gave me the vocabulary to understand that corporate d'etat how it was carried out and how it expressed itself in our society in 1905 writing something like that felt really risky because i was essentially saying you know let's. he won the 2nd world war it was his proposal

corporatism that seriously was defeated the 2nd war and i was really arguing that was the way of organizing society which he had become more and more powerful please raise your right hand and repeat after me. donald john trump do solemnly swear and i was slightly covering my bad saying that it was a coup d'etat in slow motion because i was feeling my way into no one ever said anything like that. when i signed this bill into law america will have the lowest marginal tax rates and the most modern tax code among the major industrialized nations. where i guess i was wrong was that it wasn't so most it's really very fast when you think about it's really a matter of a couple. donald trump do solemnly swear i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states he

also is president of the united states. and there's no question that. we're well into that world we're well into a corporatist world but this crisis there were is maybe we want to call it a legitimacy crisis right the status quo or the legitimating framework of capitalism right that has sort of guided us over the past 3 decades and this kind of organizing system has really lost legitimacy the main reason is simply that it's been a project that has benefited elites enormously and despite all of the kind of rhetoric of how much you know market flexibility will help workers how much free trade will help you know average people become more skilled and get better jobs the reality is ordinary working families are not doing well in fact they're doing substantially worse than they were doing

a few decades ago and they're getting through seems to be. you're getting. your little 21 inch screen. and. there is no. so this kind of ruling. has created. at least in its political. and that gave rise to. the elites they look at trump is an embarrassment

i mean he's idiotic he's. he's incompetent he's lazy. at least was a stupid enough to realize that he had to give the corporate c.e.o.'s wall street what they wanted which was the tax cuts. are temporary for the middle class but are long term for wealthy friends in real estate private equity he gave the military 10 percent budget increase which they even asked for. and he deregulated industries like the e.p.a. . judges and so they tolerated. a number of. hard core economic libertarians particularly and individuals like the koch brothers. made very clear since the early seventy's that they would like to see a system that rewards property owners that is

a democracy to represent those with money those with economic power. and that's the government we have today because. it's been shaped and crafted by billionaires that are hoping to ensure that democracy doesn't exist but instead we have just a constellation of powerful interest groups. it was basically saying individuals cannot be the source of legitimacy in society it has to be done on the basis of self-interest. down on space specialist groups it's astonishing when you read this and you see the extent to which that idea of group us versus the responsibility of the citizen has become increasingly are the day.

it is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep that's a famous mussolini quote you're a tweet it was a lead it was was a lady i'd say ok don't go it's a very good quote it's a very interesting quote and i know it's i saw it i saw what i know who said it but what difference does it make whether is was to leave me as somebody else and so certainly a very interesting quote that you want to be associated with a fascist. no i want to be associated with interesting quotes i think this particular time in american history including trump is one of the most important periods of the history including the revolution and i say that carefully as historian because they're run out of options and what you see is donald trump is

the end of the option of a corporate dominated system it may go to fascism it's not at fascism yet thankfully the possibility of something approaching 5. particularly if there is violence particulars in the black community something of repression attack on civil liberties is certainly possible and could be very ugly could be very ugly when you have a system of power where a tiny group of people have all of it all messed up and you have 8 people who control half the wealth when you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us don't get together and take it back. you can see that the logos been superimposed on to the other fighters face all these tween to reveal about the thinking of the most powerful man in the world and his priorities and some would argue his humanity by now it is obvious that trump is actually a bad negotiator this symbiotic relationship between trump and his so-called

adversaries and c.n.n. . b. c it's kind of phony when you get right down to it i mean c.n.n. made a 1000000000 dollars last year cable news companies will steadily gain and make money during the course of the elections is and then as soon as the election happens their profits will drop off that did not happen with trump he gets 2 scoops of the no i scream with his chocolate cream pie instead of the single scoop for everyone else they've continued to make money they're making bank like never before and trump is definitely the reason everybody understands this. is the symptom is not the disease the system was already so corrupt and the anger towards the elites in both the democratic and republican party was so pronounced. that his vote garrity actually gave voice to a large segment of the american public that was sick of being betrayed and lied to

we know from 2008 that the segment of the population that has suffered the most economically are african-american households. because they can put forth a black face or a woman in functions is a brand and that's what obama was obama was a brand and that's why after he won in 2008 advertising age gave obama its top annual award which was marketer of the year. i love i. was a pandemic no certainly no borders. nationalities. has emerged. we took a backseat world to. come

in every crisis. we can do better we should be. everyone is contributing your own way but we also know that this crisis go on forever the challenges create the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. the thing is that when you have to get my printers in charge the act of printing all that paper money to hang round eyes themselves really fills their head with dreams of its fiacha primacy that's the ultimate form of supremacy is i print therefore i am and if you can control the levers of political power with their fear

of money if you can acquire assets with their feet out money it gives you that god complex that we have so much of around the world and countries and big corporations and now it's all going to come crashing down. ah no no crowd. no shots no. action well to be. strapped no 1st. points your thirst for action. a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells their bodies on the streets many of them under-age. los angeles police reveal

a taste of their daily challenge no if you're going to exploit for a child here in los angeles oh they were going to come out you would see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight 6 trades. the world is driven by shaped by phone person. thinks. we dared to ask. the corporate state doesn't mind having somebody like a trump around in sort of embarrassing but they don't really mind providing he

brings the taxes down and providing the. contracts and providing that he does what they want if he gets too annoying to get rid of it. isn't clear to what extent he understands that he is the sort of. dancing puppet. is so good to be here again sean you're the greatest ratings when i'm on your show about people who spend a lot of time and money getting the supreme court to remove controls on spending elections putting in place laws that have to do with how corporations run those people are watching carefully to see the extent to which is this boy our boy or not can we really get enough use out of him. anymore. like you don't we have ever seen you get we would make america strong. we

would make america go well. we will make america proud and we will make america safe. people like you are. going to give up. that there's no word on. that one back there. they were strapped down here now. oh we got a house like 9 years ago now when i'm going out. but i have been proposed only this day here because this close to. a where we are. it seems there's no good news when it comes to the housing market and sales of

existing homes plunged 8.6 percent in november as compared to october in just 6 months 3 of the 5 biggest independent firms on wall street have now disappeared 9 years ago families went downhill broke apart their family their house their. work during the month. i was woken by one day and i was having to pick up here was it was still dark out though the sun had come up came up and i seen a guy just should not there kind of looked like he was sleeping or whatever so i just kept walt and the guy was up there and he was overdosed and he was dead he must have sat there on my knee must either froze to death already overdosed itself

kill them. destroy the needle and you know his arm and then everybody comes running by are like oh my god where do you get that is everybody wants to go so this was you know i mean it's it's a pretty sad situation going on and you're right. i wish you park i think i'm coming out here well can i sue is this my guy that they can think a white that we're going to. so these are sacrificing. places that capitalism exploited and destroyed

for profit. and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation. r r. i . what have you seen in terms of patterns like over or let's say the last couple years are is up and stable or things getting worse wow would you describe i know within i've been here going on 9 years and over the past couple years b.r. feeding more families and i'm talking my husband the wife and the children 20

percent might be actually living on the street. the rest of them may be in low income housing or something like. $200.00 people might come in on the 1st day of the month and $400.00 people might come in on the last day of them ah but it's the people that are coming in towards the end of the month with the children and they tell us i'm here because i can't pay my electric bill and feed my kids why why do you think that is because they think that despite the fact that the economy has improved for a segment of the population the people that are at the bottom life really hasn't changed and probably even got harder for them. and the rest are you know now you know that everybody calls madam says adam i graduated from our program got how many years ago at actually 2000 and where were you in prison i was a southern state southers my son was but it was a right that's where all the eric white area guards are would one go or has leg is

what these capitalists have done in cities like camden in cities. youngstown in southern west virginia they're doing everywhere reconfiguring the global economy into an incredibly wealthy global oligarchy class don't take this the wrong way but you sound like a left wing nut bar out here to go on people defend a character assassination if you want to discuss issues that's fine but i mean the found by fox news and i don't go on look you have had very eloquent writers people one can fall in canada who laid this out. with you know incredible lucidity and to somehow attack this critique by cohen someone. engages in the kind of trash talk and alluded to corporate are what i write well thank you so much for joining us here i'm going to it will be well. thank you all for being here this very

incredible group of world class business leaders that's what you are these c.e.o.'s are in some cases pulling compensations cockroaches in the billions of dollars often defrauding their own shareholders so this is the bill right here that i consider this very much a bill for the middle class and a bill for jobs and jobs are produced through companies and corporations and you see that happening corporations are literally go it wild over this these corporations and banks what do they do with the tax cuts will be bought back their own stock $170800000000.00 that's how much in buybacks this year that is the most seen this far into a calendar year ever why because if the stock goes up the compensation packages for the managers of these corporations goes up. it's not good for the economy it's not even good for their company.

cooperations are literally go and wild over the years. there's a business trying to harvest their harvesting themselves. with. the 62 year old wall street tycoon raked in nearly a half $1000000000.00 between 200-2007 the start of old school free market low taxes low everything government doesn't provide anything for anybody kind of conservatism that is the policy preferences of the tiny 8 rich doods who own half the wealth and the you know layer of rich people underneath and

it is not popular so you have to get it by other me and so you see things like voter suppression building more prisons and disenfranchising people who have spent time in you see gerrymandering you see all sorts of undemocratic practices that are used to make sure that people who might vote their own interests can't vote aren't represented when they do vote and then you just see people running like trump promising to bring jobs back to their states and then what they do once in office is a big old bait and switch and it's this kind of insane attitude where they're just looting and stealing as fast as they can as everything collapses. this used to be. a warning time just like lose

a good friend. in florida i remember grandpa worked here all of life back in the sixty's i was a kid he used to tell me that one day this this mill would close down in his belly would cry i said there is no way it's too big it's huge it goes from miles this way to where you miles now it's never going to close embargo is word for true this could be the pride of the nation it's gone it's gone along with this and hundreds of other mills just like with this one right here this was this was a fraud. or . just russian meddling in the u.k. politics according to initial reports the answer is maybe tried it in the usual
