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 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 trump right now who set the stage for
1:31 am
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 the. 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 you drained it i think you moved again to the white house. so they didn't drain the swamp and just moved to dinner. i think every politician has probably abused iraq. why don't we totally drain the swamp.
1:32 am
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. and these people who are essentially trying to dismantle government oversight from within the e.p.a. is regulators people. 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
1:33 am
congressman messed up you know by not taking her off my question represented 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 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 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 roll back of banking rules instilled frank. in the bank lobbyists came to capitol hill and pressured lawmakers to weaken their safeguards to rollback those
1:34 am
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 jim a 2nd when i was a leaf on our porter with the intercept. hi my name is leaf on. why is congress moving to remove some of those dodd frank protections all designed to prevent another crisis those pensions were actually extended into the community banking center ground which did not have a cascade effect and i helped write the track 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 to insure in some instances having
1:35 am
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 was a bill about providing relief to smaller communities to suntrust in face of so many other regional stadium banks now sarah 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 republicans softer bill 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 had the hill they had a lot of lobbyist working on there you have it with the city and do you think that the banking lobby and their campaign donations had any influence over 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 and shall go to see office and take. a lot of months into this we're thrilled with this it's the
1:36 am
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 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 the gun lobby 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 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 thank you so much take care. in response to obama's one effort to clean up
1:37 am
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. who served 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.

1:39 am
the kalama of veiling forces the count of mailing 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 ssion hatred in b.n. resent we is concerned for compassion and the specially concern for the most. poor and the weak. and the history democracy is like the history of the blues. the blues is about catastrophe overwhelming catastrophe that seems to suffocate a great efforts. of improvement.
1:40 am
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 here 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 at the same time. aspirational and visionary on the one hand. and no president.
1:41 am
in the blues understand she had to check both poles 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 eclipse 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. 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 terrible. will be right back. that's the fundamental threat. they do all that they can to cultivate divisions all that they can.
1:42 am
1:43 am
i made my decision to come here because 'd i felt i knew i could build a new life. you know think a prisoner. is a free man but i think god decided that this money is no good to be free. then. my one dream is that all my children 'd find the same kind of happiness i do . i love my home here i love cold weather i like the culture i like the history like everything about it. and i know that. i am. a russian fama. big is the regulator work that we started 1st ours was roebuck
1:44 am
a small cousin and his brother was to produce it. and. my nephew had killed the video you'll see to stand in front of what we do make shift sheets rest in peace and his name and all that is. 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 walked up and stopped this man loving times in my face you know saying and proceed to shoot a bruise on a great cause. one of their. first. date is for her to further have this like you know our family is a good family man and you should come to our environment. and it's just like that
1:45 am
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 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
1:46 am
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 almost checkmate. precious brothers and sisters.
1:47 am
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 900 never accept. and portrayed as the defeat of their right as the own as the most powerful. 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
1:48 am
1:49 am
the truth is they want to ban every gun in america certainly illegal immigration is 100 percent about 24 hours a day the democratic push russia narrative collusion narrative. we are bombarded with images. and those images are confused with no. clothes no water expect turned up. we confuse how we are made to feel with. the game we keep 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. in understanding how systems
1:50 am
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 brother dylan great to meet you good to see you yeah really great to meet you new green owner well 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 actually sees with
1:51 am
the fire for a better world alternative 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 do psychological crisis the planet
1:52 am
concerned above the walls to. how do you make it. 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 of it's inside of all of us it's inside the hatred and the gangsta lite proclivities inside every human being. and i think their. prayers are there. you know it's we're almost there souped up kind of. so where's whoever's hungry and then date i help everybody here don't close wherever i buy. ok we're. not there to.
1:53 am
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're all 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
1:54 am
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. am. son vasily grossman's great novelist and film he. writes about the evils of both communism and fascism the
1:55 am
evils of idiology still 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 installing red and went all the way to balance. the budget 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
