straighted. 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 dream this couch the people built this country and it's the people who are making america great again. the clintons and the obama's all all 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 around the world in a strange way it was those who might oppose trying right now who set the stage for him to be elected it was the very policies the 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. a cabinet full of millionaires a situation where some of them have been accused of misusing their offices in terms of the 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 is moved to dinner. i think every politician has probably abused their office. why don't we totally drain the swamp are we playing up the feet altogether. why are we the people more actively involved. major contributions so far has

been completely devalued the idea of regulatory oversight. of department of education or scott pruitt. in these people who are essentially trying to dismantle government oversight from within the e.p.a. is regulators people. by the hundreds of thousands and then you had to have lived gambits like the tax cut at 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 her off my question represented god well somewhat mirrors would represent a moment 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 logo right in the middle of that page and i went to the elec website and there is exactly the same the same file the same size in the same logo. pane promised after the president is out to quote do a big number on the dot frank act oh he is a sign that she 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. trisha.

james 2nd my name's leaf on number of quarter 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 tensions were actually extended into the community banking center ground which did not have a cascade effect and i helped write the write 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 that 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 why this was not a wall street bill this was a bill about providing relief to smaller communities to suntrust in face of so many other regional stadium banks now sara was small right no no they don't as well as

rotten installed were 10 years after the financial crisis but congress has moved to repeal some of these big you voted with a republican softer bill as i write i voted to support the community banks the bill was entirely about you sitting group along with some of these community bankers and other big trade associations really hit the hill had a lot of lobbyist working on their you have it work and so you do 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 you asked me the question do they have any influence over the vote by drinking lobby have any influence on this vote actually go to see office and take a look along with the months in advance we're thrilled with this it's the community banks that like yes i did support that community bank bill and i think when people mention this to others and what things are it makes it really hard all right one last question you should know regional banks are due. very well thank you all right

. are you concerned that the banking lobby bank lobbyists have influence over this bill that they have too much influence here on capitol hill absolutely i think the bank will. be the pharma lobby oh have too much influence here in congress this bill 252500 1000000 in the kinds of things j.p. morgan so you 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 served in the bush administration now. and general company that's 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 a bomb or a ministration officials or trouble ministration officials on contract 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 fundraiser for you and my law firm on k. street absolutely at 500 dollars a head you could pick up 2025 grand get started in. the history of the species very much a history of domination exploitation no pressure in the hatred contempt and then that countervailing forces the count of bailing 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's and hatred in b. and resent we is concern for compassion and especially a concern for the moles. and the weak. and the just a democracy is like the history of the blues. because the blues is about catastrophe overwhelming catastrophe that seems to suffocate a great effort. i'm improvement. and yet one steel keeps keeping on one steel tries to tell the truth one steel tries to fight. 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 no 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 all present. in the blue zones then you 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 the links who emerged from the cave in the history of speech. in some cities in california los angeles and san francisco in particular but their biggest threat are criminal. 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 variable. will be right back. that's the fundamental threat. they do all that they can to cultivate the divisions all that they can.

we go to work. straight home. found an indian by north korea and so many people because they copy him he's so bored that even such a bad copy sending. i'm not filled with love anybody until god and he'll go find the next guy. down pocky lot looked up in about getting anything done the influence of the the

blood she learned dump on the adam. the clicks and move the c.e.o. flame from the to the deflection what is happening inside. that is going to be that then i got up for many of her her. and i and he and others are going to going to come out about that on the board a lot. but that he can't buy a gun he got mansion got nothing got. me. long love the love and then he goes along the bottom there's a bonus which i won't control glottal. found a one it was and then later ne moved 100 gundy a new normal and gunned. down the phrase christ david begnaud do you bend down to mock you then they will join you.

l. look forward to talking to. people. must obey the orders given by human beings except when it conflicts with the 1st. or should be very careful about official intelligence and the point is to. take. it with artificial intelligence will somebody. must protect its own existence let's go next this. is the regulator work that we started 1st ours was robust cousin and his brother

was to produce it. my nephew had killed the video you'll see to stand in front of what we do make shift sheets of rest in peace and his name and all that is not. 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 girl. just man loving times in the face took him said and proceeded to shoot. one of her. present in a. very for this 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 the 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 a way of course we're talking about capitalism more production you're always talking about global realities because a profit maximisation is one that it lead to concerned about gaining access to low wage markets all around the world that is 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 racism you know 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. these

are not accidental bits and pieces in different places in all things 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 the defeat of their right. as the only as the most powerful and. 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 . business. the world. is a business must be. of the slow. 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 images are confused with no. clothes no water expect turned up. we confuse how we are made to feel with. a 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 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 said or. an 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. great to meet you good to see you yeah really great to meet you need a 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 discern fight back in the attacks but 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 just psychological crisis the planet

concern the bugs the walls. how do you make it a knowledge 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 of our condition the human condition that 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. yes we're all there set up kind of. so where's your responder and then date i help everybody here don't quote whatever i buy. ok we're.

not there to. back 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. and 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 the winter. but 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 judgement 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. this. vasily grossman's great novel why it's unfair she. writes about the evils of both communism and fascism the evils of idiology use that seek to

exterminate whole 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 bless. the book and he said that the power of that human kindness means that i am it is not humankind that is and that 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 i and i think that's right i am not i i i think that. we probably only save the world one person at a time as well that was a little years ago. 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 law. there are a lot. of other larry. bird. do you need. to hear you you.

know you. see how. the world is driven by a dream shaped by phone person with those great. dares thinks. we dare to ask.

that dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells 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. i know no crack. no shots. actually helps because. well that's true. as to. which your thirst for.
