students that went to study in the us in the sand the sixty's and they came back with the idea of milton friedman a new leave really extreme nearly economic reforms they couldn't have been able to apply these measures with out the support of the dance on their the their ship so what's going on now is that the people it's complaining about the long term results of that economic model an economic model that forces us to pay for in the kitchen where held our pension system is privatized also the water here is private. companies have been privatized so what people is pretty is thing is against the model it's not something specific but been told i recall nomic model so you mentioned the economic model and i want to bring in this tweet from ahmed who says the protesters well he's hinting at the fact the protesters were made on the streets until the issue of wealth inequality is addressed i'm hoping you can explain for our audience how the protests began with people going to the streets to be against the transit fare hike and the end of a surcharge there and has led to this wanting all of wealth inequal

we set to this i got emissions who passed with milton friedman's police before the newlyweds in the rest of the world she was the 1st experiment in the last 30 or 40 years haas implemented to our development who is mainly focused on the concentration of our economy and the trickle down economy. i did of these demonstrations. relieve or release some energy who was very.

living in the in the rules that the boys as we said to this are going to missions who passed with milton friedman's policies before the newlyweds in the rest of the world she was the 1st experiment in the last 30 or 40 years haas implemented to our development who is mainly focused on the concentration of our economy and the trickle down economy. ideology these demonstrations have relieved or release some energy who was very tied up inside of their people said mine of the people heart that it wasn't able to get to the end of the months without having to spend with credit so i think that when everything is privatized you can not access to the basic rights that should be granted where anted so i think this is one of the main issues whom people in the streets are. protesting on. if the privatization chicago privatization model is the same can you really look at the dead the wounded and the tamed in chile today and compare it though premier as policies and positions policies. i think that the context of course are different between dictatorships not only that human one. but all the dictator city the se

milton friedman, who was the main articulate her of trickle-down economics said there had to be a universalncome to make all of this safer people. what we have led to is the idea that short-term profits for stockholders takes precedent. , unjust.oral look what it has done. it has created a massive transfer of wealth into the hands of the 1% of americans. this is unsustainable. that 2017 tax cut where $2 trillion went to the richest, $.87 of every dollar of those 2 trillion went to the very richest. i would put back the middle class tax cut which i believe belonged there. i would stop these corporate subsidies. you tell me why we paid $26 million to oil and gas alone last year. militaryay to the u.s. , every dollar they need, they get, but those hundreds of billions of dollars above what they say they need where defense contractors just want to increase their bottom line, that needs to go away. these are policies to tax policy prescriptions that resonate among -- these are policy prescriptions that resonate among democrats. numbers,ok your pull your support is in the low single digits. what

bore that line too much, you -- blur that line too much, government doesn't have purpose because milton friedmanould say that to have a free market economy you need government to provide for the common good. you need police forces. you need schools. you need all these things, but we have really lost that sense. and for me that was a really interesting thing to reflect on after writing the book because you can't turn the clock back. you can't nationalize industries in the united states. that takes place in other countries. so what do you do? i thought we are trusting our elites behind closed doors to do the right thing for the american people and not serve themselves. that's kind of -- the founders were not addenda. that's why they created the separation of powers. ambition could counter ambition. how do we keep our elites honest in the four privatize world, and that's i came up with the topic of whistleblowers because that's what they do. they keep elites honest when the system is functioning well. >> the issue it raises is the whistleblowers from these private sectors are not protected, and so

and i feel so badly that hong kong is not the hong kong that i used to reference and milton friedmannstrating how they operate. stuart: what do you think of the impeachment hearings? >> well, you know, yesterday i had something, i made a suggestion tongue in cheek, of course, that i looked up a picture of what it looks like in a kangaroo court. and they have kangaroo as a judge and jury and all this. i'm like, well, this is pretty funny. minute out to stand out in front -- somebody ought to stand out in front of those hearings, come, join us, we're having a kangaroo court. no, i think it's all fake. i think it's horrible. i don't think they're looking for truth. it's a partisan fight, and it's going to go on, but i always am optimistic enough that truth will out in the end. and i think it's leaking out on occasion, and i think those who propagated all the lie over the 2016 election -- and we know there were plenty -- i think they're going to be outed. and i think we're going to find out whether these hearings do it or not, i think eventually we'll know. but there's some pretty good r
