all the same. i'm sorry to use that language but. they're in there for one thing they're in there to get elected. the reason donald trump's in there is because he's a celebrity or he did this or he did that he is in there because he is not one of them and we are so frustrated. we had to vote him in if donald trump goes away we'll find another trump believe me we'll find another one the people dreamed this couch the people built this country at it's the people who are making america great again. the clintons and the obama's all oh they talked about families and children and justice and so on maintained these rights for corporations promoted the right of their

companies to do whatever they want to around the world in a strange way it was those who might oppose trump right now who set the stage for him to be elected it was the very policies that would 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 the class differences 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 success do you find this contradictory in any way to the. a cabinet full of millionaires a situation where some of them have been accused of misusing their offices in terms of the of lavishness of those offices so on and so forth. to trump state a promise to drain the swamp if you will i don't think he drained it i think he

moved it into the white house. so they didn't drain the swamp he just moved to dinner. i think every politician has probably abused their ah. why don't we totally drain the swamp. why are we the people more actively involved. don't trust major contributions so far has been completely devalued the idea of regulatory oversight and so you know. department of education or scott pruitt. these people who are essentially trying to dismantle government oversight from within the e.p.a. is regulators people that are jeff's. hundreds of thousands and then you add to it smudges live gambits like the tax cut like this recent bank lobbyist.

partial repeal of the dot frank act 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 her off my question represent god well somewhat here's what represent me 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 god at the top and it says health care compact and there's a local 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 local. pain promised after the president that out to quote do a big number on the dot frank act so he is the financial sector lobbying has succeeded in persuading the house of representatives. to prove the biggest rollback

of banking rules instilled frank. into 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. made him 2nd when i was a leaf on our border with the intercept. hi my name is leaf on. why is congress moving to remove some of those dodd frank protections was designed to prevent another crisis those who can actually extended into the community banking sector ground which did not have

a cascade effect and i helped write the right and i defended it for 9 years and like a lot of people i think that there were areas in which dodd frank zappa little heavy on our smaller institutions to ensure in some instances having difficulty lending making small loans to small businesses so 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 while this is not a wall street bill this was a bill about providing relief to smaller communities to suntrust and pay some of the family's other regional stadium banks now sara was small right no no they don't as those rotten installed were 10 years after the financial crisis but congress has moved to repeal some of these big you voted with republicans soft target 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 they had a lot of lobbyist working on their you have a dual citizenship 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 right. imagine you ask me what do they have any

influence over the vote. banking lobby have any influence on this vote go to see office and it's a lot of months in advance we're thrilled with this it's the community banks that like yes i did support the community bank bill and i think when people mess with this 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 all right. 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 plan to. be 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 banks so i don't know that anybody with a straight face can say this is an answer to that question this is. couching small

banks in order to give big banks relief from these write necessary regulations here 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 serves in the bush administration now. and. general company better saves

a lot of military contracts what do you how do you feel about this issue of senior military officials government officials going to a large firms that receive major military contracts. as executive vice president of a major defense for vets receive billions of dollars in defense contracts. to interface with the pentagon have you spoken to either obama administration officials or travel ministration officials on contracting issues. excuse me fran townsend here with 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 i'll get started in.

the history of the species very much a history of domination exploitation no pressure in the hatred contempt and then the kalama of the link forces the count of meaning voices against domination against a tree 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 the specially a concern for the most vulnerable. poor and the the weak. and the history democracy is like the history of the blues. the.

the blues is about catastrophe overwhelming catastrophe that seems to suffocate every efforts. of improvement. and yet one steel keeps keeping one steel tries to tell the truth one steel tries to fight for justice looks like you're going to make a breakthrough good morning hardy cure it is again. i was but it's also one in which you recognize know i'm so surprised when you have brink to the breakthrough is a real and so it isn't democracy. one step forward 2 steps back 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 on presses. in the blues on stand she 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 divide. they want to divide and conquer it is a strategy as old as each lynx who emerged from the cave in the history of speed seats. in some cities in california los angeles and san francisco in particular but their biggest threat. black males who are involved in this crime and violence to keep the political commentary to yourself or as someone

once said shut up and. we'll be right back. that's the fundamental threat and they do all that they can to cultivate divisions all that they can. seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any old belief yet to shape out just because the educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to heal some 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 with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again. because a cop beat him he's so good that even such

a bag. i'm not here to tell people he. killed the final the next. top live on. the infidel to feed the dog she even got. the deflection. is a deflection what does have to say. that is a gun that i got out from idiots.

you know. what did. you know do you. think is the regulator with that we started 1st ours was robot cousin and his brother was the producer. my nephew had killed and we're going to video you'll see to stand in front of what we do make shift sheets rest in peace and his name and all of this.

and then 7 days later my cousin who i was close with more like a brother he was shot down in front of his kids he was walking into his house somebody walked up and he had his daughter who's girl. this man loving times in the face. of them said and proceeded to shoot. one of her. it's like you know our family was a good family you know me and 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 is the course we're talking about capitalism most production euro is talking about. 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 they've 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 for 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 a most checkmate. precious brothers and sisters. were not accidental bits and pieces in different places and all think 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 $900.00 never except. for trade as a defeat their right as the own 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

laws of business. the world. is a business mr b. . has been since man crawled out of the. chase. we've lost the ability to think. images on screens are ubiquitous. the truth is they want to ban every gun in america certainly illegal immigration is 100 percent about voting 24 hours a day the democratic push brusha narrative collusion narrative narrative we

are bombarded with images. and those images are confused with no. clothes no water expect turn the friggin frogs we confuse how we are made to feel with. the game we can't 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 when america is united america is totally unstoppable be totally honest with you even if it's not united we're unstoppable said or. in 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

. great to meet you good to see yeah really great to meet you the great owner now known as mine no. question which american. but without the rule of magination vision and courage shattering the indifference and shattering the callousness and that's the challenge i discerned 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 a 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 just psychological crisis the planet concern the bugs the walls. how do you make that analogy for us 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 there might be but they did not

almighty they're going to fall sooner or later we don't know what form we just hope it isn't neo-fascist we hope that it doesn't return to the most barbaric and beast . of aspects of our condition a 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 their. prayers are there. you know it's we're almost there souped up kind of. where words were responding and then date i help everybody here don't quote whatever i buy. ok when i got. there to. pick up. right now kind of tell me i have to be here and help the people here. when i am done 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 are 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 community they're part of something which understands without knowing. their 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 judgment that you can sort of slice everybody up into their interest groups and then get somebody who's a kind 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. i am. soon vasily grossman's great novel licenses. he. writes about the evils of both communism and fascism the evils of idiology use that 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 style brad and went all the way to bless. the book and he said that the power of that human kindness means that the bit is not humankind that is embedded in the face of evil. but evil that is impotent in the face of humankind i am because it is never able to crush that small kernel of class the but i think that's right. i am not i i think that. we probably only save the world one person at a time as well and i was aware years ago both. 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 the a. cool . really believe me he. also made it is. a how.

a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sell their bodies on the street many of them under-age. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge you know if you're going to exploit a child here in los angeles they were going to come out of your busy offices going undercover as sex workers and customers to fight the l.a. sex trade. you cannot be vulgar with me yet you like.

to say 28th of july in this morning's headlines from moscow president trump bolsters federal forces in the city of portland of the winks of black lives matter protesters criticism out some local leaders now who accuse him of abusing his power . not so secret anymore a key source of the discredited trumped russia collusion report from 2016 is unmasked and it emerges that his evidence boils down to a conversation. to the mother of a 12 year old boy dragged from his house because middle of the night because he had a toy gun accuses london's police of racial profiling. and short so i just believe.
