we can in. conference as it is strengthening. that none of us has chosen this route for our society. in spite of which our elites quite happily continue down that. this is a multi lane highway. 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 this sacrifice.
5:31 am
i am. and that's what we've done we've rendered those trapped in the sacrifice sones 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 stories at all. and we should also note that they're completely trapped they can't get loans rents are actually quite high in camden although you're living in la potato conditions.
5:32 am
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 ships were built to europe and then just in the port in world war 235000 people were employed. who were. who.
5:33 am
some a great admirer of the canadian intellectual john ralston saul who use 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 muslim you won the 2nd world war it was his proposal corporatism. that seriously was defeated war and i was really arguing that was the
5:34 am
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 nation. but i guess i was wrong was that it wasn't so most it's really very. when you think it's really a matter of fact it's. 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.
5:35 am
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 jews who used to be.
5:36 am
5:37 am
at least was stupid enough to realize that he had to give the corporate c.e.o.'s wall street what they wanted which was the tax cut. temporary for the middle class but are long term for. private equity he gave the military 10 percent budget increase which then 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
5:38 am
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.
5:39 am
it is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep that's a famous mussolini quote yuri tweeted it was a lady it was was a lady i'd say ok to 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 it's was to lead me or 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
5:40 am
thankfully the possibility of something approach. fascism particularly if there is violence particularly 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 are 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 20 to reveal about the thinking of the most powerful man in the world and his priorities and some would argue his humanity by though 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.
5:41 am
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
5:42 am

5:44 am
join me everything. on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to guess who the world of politics business i'm show business i'll see that. the corporate state doesn't mind having somebody like a trump around and 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 that. 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

62 year old wall street tycoon raked in nearly a half $1000000000.00 between 200-2007 the start of old school free markets 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 means 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
5:56 am
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 collapsed. this used to be it was going to i'm just like lose a good friend. if you are going to remember grandpa worked here all his life back in the sixty's i was a kid he used to tell me that one day this this mill would close down his growly would cry i said there's no way it's too big it's huge it goes from miles this way to where you mouse now where you know issues that it's never going to close margolies
