murderer charles manson and robert kennedy's assassin, sirhan sirhan, are among the most notorious inmatesnees. officers were accused of arranging gladiator style fights between rival inmates that often had to be stopped with lethal force. >> officers betting on these fights, who's going to win, who's going to stab who, who's going to kill who, who's going to beat who bad. >> all of the indicted officers were subsequently acquitted. george galaza was warden at the time and had to tackle the daunting task of getting corcoran back on its feet. >> when i got here in 1996, corcoran frankly was under an intensive media barrage. the impact that that had on the staff here, it was tremendous. you cannot maintain a prison like this well if your staff morale is poor. so, the first part of it was getting the staff morale up. the next thing that we focused on was the issue of violence. >> you might have to fight. >> in a prison like this one, because of the types of inmates that we have, violence is a real thing. >> you might have to kill. you might have to stab. >> the inmates generate violence among

and to my right, your left, advice admiral manson brown, he is in charge of the coast guard from the west coast to china. his folks have been crucial because the coast guard will probably be the first responders in a maritime environment in the bay area, so i'm really pleased to have him part of our team. to his left is major general melvin species. he is the deputy commander of the marine force in camp pendleton. he has been working with us and really driving the scenario we have had on the tabletop exercise of medical search. how do we deal with the large number of casualties if we have a large catastrophic earthquake. to his left would be rear admiral jerry huber. he is the commander of the expedition nature strike force and part of the third fleet and the navy, as you know, the third fleet, they're coming in today. will is one ship already here and he is here representing advice admiral beman and advice admiral beman would be here but he doesn't fly in until 1700. the third fleet has been terrific in this whole process. i want to thank the u.s. naval services that are represented

process that has been cemented in place and what is really left if from every angle there's the is that manson for just take a look at public opinion they'll tell you. about two thirds of the public thinks the entire congress would be thrown out. because i mean if it's going to happen no but it means that the system isn't working and the public knows it. the popularity of favor ability rating for congress and single digit president not much higher in the same month across all other institutions it's a very widespread sense that everything is going wrong that tells you the democratic system is just not functioning now in fact i don't want to suggest that this is totally new so you go back a century and you can still predict throughout all this period pretty well the outcome of elections by campaign funding but there are degrees and now it's gotten extreme. the levels to which the u.s. has departed from other capitalist societies are pretty remarkable you released a book recently. called nine eleven was there an alternative focusing on the u.s. assassination of osama bin laden and that continuit

let down their customers they let down their shareholders and they let down their country charles manson let down sharon tate we need brutally murdered her you know that's the moral equivalency that george osborne loss us to make here that it's just a question of the banks letting us down when they viciously stole and raped us repeatedly oh george georgie porgie to their credit bloomberg bank goes on to say a ponzi scheme is a fraudulent financial arrangement under which investors are paid high returns from the deposits of subsequent investors bernard made off was jailed for one hundred fifty years in june two thousand and nine for masterminding the largest ever u.s. ponzi scheme no u.k. banks have been prosecuted for running a similar operation but when warren buffett makes an investment bank of america as he did recently he's engaged in a ponzi scheme an outright fraud for them. scheme where he's using guarantees made to him by the government to make an investment unavailable to the rest of the public i know that's not technically illegal that's not a ponzi scheme it's insider trading
