clinton's and the obama's 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 to around 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 be. a 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 a sort of 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 it is 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 4 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 the fears regulators the people out of jobs. by the hundreds of thousands and then you add to it smudges

live gambits like the tax cut at this recent bank lobbyist impartial repeal of the dot frank act they have been on their wish list for ages the stuff of 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 it 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 fun the same size in the same logo. on t.v.

you know the pain promised after the president that out 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 since don't 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. made him 2nd when i was a leaf on a reporter with me and i sat. my name's leaf on. why is congress moving to remove some of those dodd frank protections. designed to

prevent another crisis those tensions were actually extended into the community banking center ground which did not help a cascade effect i helped write write and i've 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 to ensure that some is this is 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 why this was 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 now sara was small right no no they don't as installed were 10 years after the financial crisis but congress has moved to repeal 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 citigroup along with some of these community bankers and other bank trade associations really hit the hill had a lot of lobbyist working on this you have

a deal with the city do you think that the banking lobby and their campaign donations had any influence over 2000 a fiasco that the bank said no no role in that debate you asked me where do they have any influence over the vote. and banking lobby have any influence on this vote actually go to see office and can take. 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 should know 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 on the gun lobby the pharma lobby all have too much influence here in congress and this bill to. 152500 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 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.

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 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's and hatred in b.n. resent we is concern for others compassion and especially a concern for the moles. the poor and 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 a great effort. of improvement. and yet one steel keeps keeping on one steel tries to tell the truth one steel tries to fight with justice looks like you don't make a break do 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 to break through is a real and so it isn't democracy. i am. one

step forward 2 steps 3 steps forward 2 steps back that's the history of who we are as a species both wonderful and terrible. aspirational and visionary elma one. and all present. in the blues understand can't you check both poles at same time and always preserve not your optimism preserve your hope your prisoner of hope. they want to. see you want to. conquer it it is a strategy as old as the links who emerged from the. speech. cities in california los angeles and san francisco in particular biggest threat.

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. the fundamental threat . they do all that they tend to cultivate divisions all the take a few. i know to no crow. no shots. actually felt. well it's true no one. point she heard thirst for action.

ambani and by north korea it's so many people because they comprehend is so good that even such a bad puppy is sending. i'm not killed her dog anybody and. i'm here to find the next guy. down cause. looked up live again in the human being done be in philosophy and let god she even dump on the attempt. to deflect some or the c.e.o. saying he has a deflection what is comfortable saying. that is a god given that i got out from many observers.

that he is innocent and you're going to going to see a lot about that on the board. that you can bank on to get nothing back up. plan lol the name you know is along the bottom there's a bonus which alone can choke a lot older. than dough a new person and they are today. what did i do knowing god. sees christ david begnaud do you any good to mock you and even join you. 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. big is the regulator with that we started 1st ours was robot that's my cousin and

his brother was the producer. of the. video is called my city my nephew who got killed we're going to the video you'll see 2 of my cousins stand in front will be makeshift sheiks rest in peace at his name and all that. 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. in the face and i'm saying proceed to shoot. one of her. head it's like you know our family was a good family in. 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. 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 systems own to indecent owing to communities and families that are 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 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. together in a very old fashioned way. it's all really about taking us back. to essentially a pre democratic period. was all really about a battle that the losers after $900.00 never except. for trade as a defeat for their rights 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 drug in america certainly illegal immigration is 100 percent about 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 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 . brother bill great to meet you good to see the really great to meet you in the great owner now known as mine no. question which american. but without tool 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 then 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 madder there's a new day coming those signs of hope

a younger generation concerned about not do psychological crisis the planet concern the bugs the walls to. people how do you mean just 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 that isn't neal fast as we hope that it doesn't return to the most barbaric and be still love. of aspects of our condition the human condition that's inside of all of us that's inside the hatred and the gangsta like proclivities inside of a human being. i think there's. a present there. yes we're almost there so it's all kind of. so what words are responding and i think then date i help everybody here don't quote wherever i might

. take we were. there simply out there to. pick up. right now kind of tell me i have to be here and help the people here. when i went on that then. i put other people 1st. you know i've always been fascinated by them are modified. strictly in august and 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 guy. 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. 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 corporatist argument that you can sort of slice everybody up into their interest groups and then get somebody with whose economy 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. soon fosli grossman's great novel once and she. writes about the

evils of both communism and fascism the evils of idiology still 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 humankind switch he witnessed as a war correspondent he was in stone when. all the way to berlin. and he said that the power of the human kindness me us that. it is not humankind that has entered it in the face of evil. but evil that is impotent in the face of humankind. because it is never able to crush that small kernel of class. and i think that's right. i think that. we probably only save the world one person at

a time small amounts of 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 again. i am a want a rally i want. a ladder larry. larry.

king we were. all a little. prayer our. we go to work you straight home. industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells their
