7:32 pm
they're all the same they're all i'm sorry to use that language but. they're in there for one thing they're in or 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 was all oh they talked about families and children and
7:33 pm
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 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 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 be. 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. for 2 to trump state
7:34 pm
a promise to drain the swamp if you will i don't think he granted i think he moved into the white house so he didn't drain the swamp he just moved to dinner. i think every politician has probably abused iraq. 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. in these people who are essentially trying to dismantle government oversight from within the e.p.a. is regulators people jeffs. hundreds of thousands and then you
7:35 pm
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 it off my question represented god well someone 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 got walt 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 file the same size in the same logo. pane promised after the president. how to quote do
7:36 pm
a big number on the dot frank act oh he is the financial side to lobbying has succeeded in persuading the house of representatives to approve the biggest rollback of banking rules instead 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. jim 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 that are designed to prevent another crisis those who can actually extended into the
7:37 pm
community banking sector ground which did not have a cascade effect i helped write. and i 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 and some 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 what this is not a wall street bill this is 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 is moving to hold some of these big you voted with a republican softer bill as i write i voted to support the community banks the bill is entirely about you citi group along with some of these community bankers and other big trade associations really hit the hill had a lot of lobbyist working on this you have any what do you thing. that the banking
7:38 pm
lobby and their campaign donations had any influence over 2000 a fiasco the bank said no no role in that debate 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 takes. a lot of 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 mess with this service and what things are that makes it really hard over 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 will. be the pharma lobby all 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
7:39 pm
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 numbers 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.

7:47 pm
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 her store hierarchy in which people know their place which men get their place this is what we refer to as patriarchy this is
7:48 pm
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 cam 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 it all fit 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 1900 never except. for trade as
7:49 pm
a defeat of their right as the only 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 could 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.

7:52 pm
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 also how did you conceive of every day people 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
7:53 pm
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 to. people how do you think it's 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 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 it's inside of all of us that's inside the hatred and the gangsta lite proclivities inside every human being. until it occurs in their. presence

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 own 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 who is a con 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.
7:56 pm
