because after this coronavirus we go back to business as usual which is the goal of so many of our politicians around the world today that horrible swing to the far right and then this window of time. to create change it's closing a lot of time dr jane goodall thank you that's ever want to your favorite shows of the last season will be back for a new season on just over the 5th like in the show you don't miss an interview and join the other guy but fall in love with a facebook instagram and sound they say. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person or those with.

no dares thinks. we dare to ask. if. it could be argued. that we're now in the midst of a cook. in slow motion. democracy is weakening. conferences and strengthening.

yet none of us has chosen this route for a society. just fine 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.

i am. and that's what we've done we've rendered those trapped in the sacrifice owns the 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 know 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. and this was one of the major manufacturing centers of the united states. right.

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 chord 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 are.

coming 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 saying a war in iraq is really arguing that it was the way of organizing society which he had become more. and more powerful please raise your right hand and repeat after me

. donald john do solemnly swear and i was slightly covering my bets by 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 sign this bill into law or 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 funny when you think about this really a matter of. donald trump do solemnly swear i will faithfully execute the office of president of the united states he also this president of the united states. and there's no question that. we're well into that world we're well into corporate

history. 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 jobs we used to be. you're getting. your little 21 inch screen. and how

about america and the max. and. so this kind of. created. at least in its political. and that gave rise to. the elites they look at. some mean these idiotic he's. competent he's lazy. at least was a stupid enough to realize that he had to give the corporate c.e.o.'s wall street

what they wanted which was the. temporary. long term for. private equity he gave the military budget increase. and he deregulated industries like the e.p.a. . and so they tolerated. a number of. hard core economic libertarians particularly billionaires and individuals like the koch brothers. made very clear since the early seventy's that they would like to see a system. property owners that is a democracy to represent those with money those with economic power. we have today because it's been shaped and crafted by 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. in town and space specialist groups it's astonishing when you read this stuff and you see the extent to which that idea of group us versus the responsibility of the citizen has become increasingly are the day.

it is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep that's a famous mussolini quote you're a tweet it was a lead it was was a lady i'd say ok don't go 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 is was to leave me as 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 thankfully the possibility of something approaching fascism particularly if there

is violence particular system the black community something no. 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 now it is obvious that trump is actually a bad negotiator this symbiotic relationship between trump and his so-called adversaries and c.n.n. . and b. c 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 trope 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 in the republican party was so pronounced. that his full guarantee 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 economically are african-american households. because they can put forth

a black face or a woman in functions as a. that's what obama was obama was a brand and that's why after he won in 2008 advertising age gave obama its top annual award which was marketer of the year. i love. i. was a pandemic no certainly no borders to nationalities. has emerged we caught up with the we don't have the facts the whole world to. judge us coming every crisis. we can

do better we should be. everyone is contributing your own way but we also know that this crisis not go on forever the challenges crave the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. to corporate state doesn't mind having somebody like 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 puppets. it's so good to be here of 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 elections putting in place laws that have to do with how corporations run those people are watching carefully to see the extent to which is this boy our boy or not can we really get enough use out of him. anymore. like you don't we have ever seen you get we will make america strong and we

won't make america will be again we will make america proud and we will make america safe again. if you are. going to give up. that there were one. and i went back there and i think last week. they were strapped down here so we got a house like 9 years ago where the guy who owns 9 years ago my housekeeper closed only stay here because this close to his backyard. every night. it seems there's no good news when it comes to the housing market sales of existing

homes plunged 8.6 percent in november as compared to october just 6 months 3 of the 5 biggest independent firms on wall street has now disappeared 9 years ago barry went downhill broke apart their family their house their. work during the month. i was woken by one day and the peak of here was it was still dark out though the sun had come up and came up and i seen a guy just should not there kind of look like he was sleeping or whatever so i just kept walking and the guy was up there and he was overdosed and he was dead he must have sat there on my knee must either froze to death already overdosed itself

killed i'm. sure the needle and you know his arm and then everybody comes running by like oh my god where do you get that is everybody wants to go so this was you know i mean it's it's a pretty sad situation going on here right. i wish you park i think i'm coming out here well can i sue is this my guy again. that they can create a white that will get it. so these are sacrificed such places that capitalism exploited and destroyed

for profit. and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation. are you. i. what have you seen in terms of patterns like over or let's say the last couple years are is up and stable or things getting worse throughout would you describe i know within i've been here going on 9 years and over the past couple years b.r. feeding more families and i'm talking my husband the wife and the children 20

percent might be actually living on the street. the rest of them may be in low income housing or something like. $200.00 people might come in on the 1st day of the month and $400.00 people might come in on the last day that much but it's the people that are coming in towards the end of the month with the children and they tell us i'm here because i can't pay my electric bill and feed my kids why why do you think that is because they think that in spite of the fact that the economy has improved for a segment of the population the people that are at the bottom life really hasn't changed and probably even got harder for them. and the rest are you know now you know that everybody calls madam says chris had adam i graduated from our program got how many years ago at actually 2000 where were you in prison i was a southern state southers my son was but it was a right that's where all the eric white area guards are would one go or has leg is

hanging from a tree. yes were you doing before you want. i was selling drugs i was using drugs made game that was my lifestyle suddenly using drugs you go to prison you're going to come out there you might come out better you might come out crazier yeah certainly come out was enough but you're going to change this place is. based because you see the people called me and some of these people would come a hey used to be from. teaches but if you stay head good trade there were just between men through hell from drugs you know they gradually put in the says. i.

how many kids i have 66 kids are you work and yes where you work all possible guards but can't you do it people do what you saw how many hours a day do you work while this is where you are in prison and what where which one on the south would you. please i'm trying to get my body from the heart you know nobody want to help you know i mean. you see cities that have been sacrificed youngstown ohio one of the steel capitals of the world.

what these capitalists have done in cities like camden in cities. like youngstown in southern west virginia they're doing everywhere reconfiguring the global economy into an incredibly wealthy global oligarchy class don't take this the wrong way but you sound like a left wing nut bar i don't usually go on people defend a character assassination if you want to discuss issues that's fine but i mean sound like news and i don't go on look you have had very eloquent writers people on crown roll can call in canada who laid this out. with you know incredible lucidity and to somehow attack critique by cohen someone. engages in the kind of trash talk and alluded to corporate or what i write well thank you so much for joining us here you know i don't know it will be well. thank you all for being here this very

incredible group of world class business leaders that's what you are these c.e.o.'s are in some cases pulling compensations cockroaches in the billions of dollars often defrauding their own shareholders so this is the bill right here that i consider this very much a bill for the middle class and a bill for jobs and jobs are produced or companies and corporations and you see that happening corporations are literally go it wild over this these corporations and banks what do they do with the tax cuts will be bought back their own stock $170800000000.00 that's how much in buybacks this year that is the most seen this far into a calendar year ever why because if the stock goes up the compensation packages for the managers of these corporations goes up.

it's not good for the economy it's not even good for their company. corporations are literally go and wild over the us. there's a business trying to harvest their harvesting themselves. that's what. the 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 me 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 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. in florida i 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 week this mill would close down and his belly would cry i said there is no way it's too big it's huge it goes from miles just way to way miles our way and i should look it's never going to close and by golly his words were true this huge could be the pride of the nation it's gone it's gone along with this and hundreds of other mills just like it just one right here is where this was a proud nation. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport that's less i'm show business i'll see you than.

an entire village in alaska. if another country trying to wipe out an american town . we do everything in our power to protect. wanted a escaping climate change poses the same threat right now alaska does seem some of the fuss just coastal erosion in the world lost about 35 feet. 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. it is fast paced the river is 30 closers how many. years i think were part of america 1st for.

huge anti-government demonstrations continue in last week's. presidential election which saw alexander lukashenko secure a 6th term in office but says this person has been in power for 26 years. and he doesn't want to. meanwhile protesters also. support alexander lukashenko i wasn't forced to come here this is my personal choice. and russia begins mass production of.
