this was destroying the bush the ministrations narrative.retaliation, they added his wife, joe wilson's wife, valerie plame, who was a cia agent and expose turbot that is what it was all about. this shows they would stop at nothing to maintain their narrative. they were trying to discredit joe wilson. i think they sort of did not realize exactly how far they were going. this was intentionally a crime to the started whole valerie plame investigation. bush said he would fire anyone who was responsible for the leak. one thing that is absolutely clear is rove, though he is not the only one, scooter al-libi was also indicted and convicted later on, rove played a very key role in this. he did the valerie plame's name, rather, her identity, that she was the wife -- the 120 said, "i did not say her name." he said this is joe wilson's wife is a cj agent. he told that to "time" magazine reporter. rove went on to lie about it again and again. all the and that there's a link in those two clips you just showed of mc rove dancing with the press and joe wi

the eight years of the bush administration and to some extent the last couple years the clinton ministration but mostly the bush administration it seems that there was a really aggressive effort at many levels of government to simply outsource things to turn government functions into profit centers typically for politically connected people i'm told. parts but you know to outsource things is that what you're talking about that's certainly a huge part of this and it's one of the big elephants in the room it's something that's not always talked about is you remember if you're a defense contractor you know your allegiance to shareholders and there's certainly a profit margin which that you want to want to make and although there are many many contractors in the government they're doing the right thing nine eleven was regarded by many of the largest defense contractors as an opportunity make significant amounts of money and congress was all you know congress obliged and very large checks are being written i was there seeing billions and billions of extra dollars being poured in a say it's amazin

seven hundred ninety one adopt in seventeen ninety three literally from the george washington a ministration until the ronald reagan administration are you know there's been hiccups along the way the civil war probably one of the more notable ones but by and large people that had faith in government they had turned to government during times of crisis they had they had they looked to government for solutions. what's the genesis of this bizarre notion that as reagan said in i believe it was his inaugural address that government is not the solution to your problem it's the problem itself where does that come from. well i think it came from the realization that the people at the top no longer needed a middle class and then you have a problem you have this giant middle class up in the seventy's and what i point to are three things that i think changed in terms of the need for the middle class united states improved global communication including improved global transportation in automation with those three things all the sudden you could produce your products anywhere in the world and of course

george bush jr and our next example there was jake steward he held several positions in the clinton ministration the vice president of business development at alcoa the counselor to u.s. treasury treasury secretary and he was also the managing director and global head of corporate communications at goldman sachs from two thousand and twelve and he's still still in that position and we have meredith attwell baker she was a legislative affairs she was at the legislative affairs office of the state department back in one thousand nine hundred eighty also the director of program congressional affairs a cellular telecommunications industry association and she goes on there to a few more positions and interesting here for months after voting for comcast this the contacts and b.c. a merger baker accepted a job at comcast so bars a want to ask you why become part of a government agency if your intent is to go back to the private sector anyways. money is the most obvious explanation one unfortunately. the nine. begin with a federal agency you do finish law school or business school you work for a federal

commodity futures modernization act this act of course which came at the very tail end of the clinton ministration essentially legalized portions of the financial transactional ised economy that previously had been classified as pure gambling now i want to do you also mention the word supply and demand there and typically supply and demand are drivers in any economy they have buyers and sellers and they meet in the market and a price is mitchell excepted but we're entering post two thousand but really building for a couple of decades there an economy that's really more systems oriented and requires the kind of work that you do in systems analysis and calm complex systems analysis understand what's going on because as you describe food prices you're talking about multiple layers of of complexity of derivatives of betting that's going on the financial ization the transactional ization and at the end of the day the market itself is become something very very different over the past twenty years than what it was up until that time correct the suggestion did or the science that we're doing won't be hop

american people have been led for the last ten years i would say actually for the last twenty five ministrations who insisted that they could transform not americans primarily in the third world in the balkans into anglo-saxon democrats so a lot of nonsense it's a miserable failure it's an open secret why would they do this while some of it is utopianism that we do suffer from inside the beltway but a lot of game goes back to money were who had the contracts where did the money go who made money as a result we could talk about how a burden and a whole range of firms that have profited enormously again there is no accountability in the city when's the last time we held general officers accountable for the fact that iraq today is an iranian satellite we said we were going to transform it into this anglo-saxon democracy that would ultimately be friendly to the west and friendly to the united states and today iraq is effectively an iranian client state who are we kidding this is this is part of a much larger problem and money that we've spent has simply being squandered and lost certainly so much to
