with matt koch from the chamber of commerce. caller: i have to be suspicious and asked the obvious -- why doesn't canada want to build its own refinery? i come from the philadelphia area. i have been 20-25 years in the oil the industry. i understand the problems with refining, and the emissions and all of that stuff. we know the area where that oil wants to go is already producing or refining heavy sulphur fuels from venezuela. they are almost at capacity with venezuelan oil. are we trying to get rid of venezuela in this country? why doesn't can adapt build their own refinery? build doesn't venezuela their own refinery? guest: i think the canadians are facing some of the same problems that we have had, trying to build a refinery in the country. also, looking at the economics of building a refinery, we have some trouble trying to sometimes look at expansion, trying to break ground for a brand new refinery in this country is difficult to do. not only to attract capital of what is needed to get the permits and get it built. the eco

he can go to the mega donors in the republican party wal-mart's pac koch industries pac all these all over back yet. these folks and you can basically say hey guess what the limits are gone you can give me as much money as you want i can million bucks yeah i can fill my war chest and so you know so it's almost asymmetrical warfare here because you have a very well organized energized grassroots recall organizing team but you also have the governor and you know in his own party has admitted at every point on this they have admitted that raising unlimited money is central to their strategy. and what they'll do with that is they'll run a bunch of ads saying oh isn't everything wonderful here in wisconsin we never had a better and do you think it's going to work. what's that what are the chances is there is there any president is there any we've seen in any other states it might give us a leading indicator would have an ohio for example yeah exactly at ohio was a good one because there were a lot of competing ads out there in ohio though the pro union folks were the ones who ended up spen

overall came out of the american legislative exchange council alec which is heavily funded by the koch brothers in australia by contrast ninety eight percent of the people vote here it's about half why do the koch brothers and other right wing fund efforts to make it harder to vote. well you know in australia of course there's mandatory voting that's why the figure is not only a percentage turn out there but yeah but no back here look they know the republicans know that it's easy to disenfranchise democratic voters across the board minority voters student voters elderly voters by putting in place these photo id restrictions at the polling place happily now we're beginning to see some pushback finally from the from the department of justice from eric holder who rejected as you said that south carolina photo i.d. restriction and it's not you know we shouldn't call them voter id laws because most states already have voter id laws nothing wrong with the voter i.d. law as long as there are you know a lot of different ways that you can prove that you are who you say you are you know bank sta

million average working americans course the owners of tea party republicans billionaires like the koch brothers and multimillionaires like dick armey don't much care about the working americans and they're loving their control over the american political process. now turning our attention to the occupy wall street movement this weekend the movement celebrated its three month anniversary in new york city by asking for sanctuary ever since the movement was kicked out of its central command in zuccotti park more than a month ago demonstrators have been looking for a new place to set up operations to build a new encampment so on saturday demonstrators marched to a piece of land owned by trinity church one of the oldest churches in the city intent on setting up a new camp unfortunately their bid to reoccupied that area failed as trinity church refused to give the movement sanctuary on their property the n.y.p.d. arrived in arrest of fifty demonstrators many of whom were trying to scale a fence around a park like retired of fiscal bishop george packard seen here in the purple causing who was

if newt and and herman cain were able to get so forward because they had money from basically the koch brothers i mean you know all these front groups that were funneling that are channeling billionaire money. why you know mitt romney's been willing to take anybody anybody's position for a long time are we going to end up with a situation where when they all fall by the wayside mitt romney will simply say to the koch brothers. i'll take your money i'll take your crazy positions and he'll be their guy i mean i think he would like to be certainly i don't know if they'll take him is the question why are they not i mean he seems like only to change his mind on the drop ahead he did today i think they still don't that's how he got on the payroll tax he switched i think they still like most of the a lot of republican voters they still just don't trust him they don't know who he is there's a poll out today from pew asking republican voters who would be most acceptable to them and gingrich this you know crazy polarizing figure was more acceptable than romney to republican voters so i actually

number one, you're going to have the koch brothers.th large corporate leaders deciding how to spend hundreds of millions of dollars. 50 million in california, 30 million in ohio. nobody i know thinks that that's what democracy is about. second thing is does, ed, is when a senator or member of the house casts a vote, if we're prepared to take on wall street, if you're prepared to take on the military-industry complex, do you not think that members are going to be sitting there thinking if i cast that vote against wall street or the drug companies am i going to go home next weekend and find millions of dollars in tv ads running against me? maybe i'd better not cast that vote. >> now, the president referenced this in his speech in kansas, about the big money in politics. in the last state of the union address he also in a sense called out the supreme court for what he thought was a very bad decision. >> that's right. >> so he's made, you know, his point. how much further do you think he has to take it? because right now he's mended a lot

brothers won't have anything to do with not only the koch brothers they want to play but one of the things and again working in the house and senate. that policy that set of policies really depended upon a liberal progressive coalition and that depended upon a strong labor movement and labor movement is gone from about thirty four percent of the labor force being organized it's now at eleven percent and about six percent the private sector and declining so the base of power for that way of solving the problem sadly i think is over so there's either another way forward over the long haul or i think we're in for a real trouble in decay and decay is what we're seeing right so what's that way forward well if systems are organized around who owns the capital if that's where the power is and if you don't like state socialism and you don't like corporate capitalism obviously democratizing capital in some way is the critical idea behind it and it's in fact if you think about it there's a lot of that in america just below the surface and the press doesn't cover it but one hundred forty milli

the tea party movement was so heavily funded by the koch brothers and by dick armey a multimillionaire lobbyist here in washington d.c. freedom works you know sudden pain for the bosses paying for the stages you know bringing in the speakers sarah palin glenn beck all these folks who were. there were a few themes that seemed to emerge in the tea party as a real regular things like lower taxes less regulation that are really important if you're multi-billionaire running oil companies like the koch brothers they want less regulation they will lower taxes. doesn't seem like it's going to mean much to the guy running the art gallery it were you was it your sense that they had figured out that they could cut through some of this b.s. frankly that you know the propaganda stuff that was coming out of the millionaires and billionaires running the tea party organization and and just be just be with you in the populist stuff or are they still saying in some of those songs i think the e-file in a couple the themes between each particular group right the the tea party movement seems to have this p

. >> he didn't mention koch brother money. what about that?unions really had more influence and more influence than the money from the right wing? >> well, the governor's statement is a complete false construct. he talks about not having tried to explain himself early on. the first advertisements that went up with regard to this controversy were put up in february by americans for prosperity, a koch brothers' funded group. they blanketed the air waives. and they talked about how the other side has ad up now. the fact of the matter is the governor has been flooding the air waives with ads supporting his agenda whereas the democratic party, the unions, these groups do not have ads up now. pretty much it's the governor and his allies that own the air waives at this point. so for him to suggest that he's somehow having a hard time telling his story is -- it's a fantasy. the reality is he's told his story. the wisconsinites just aren't buying it. >> what do you make of these constant media appearances? he's getting more attention than any other gov
