exactly yes well she is one of the longest serving monarchs technocrats kleptocrats and we have the unelected j.p. morgan official of tony blair who's been in the news this week leveson inquiry press relations unhealthy says tony blair well the important part of this of course is that at one point during tony blair of j.p. morgan's testimony to the leveson inquiry protester had to be jacked it after getting into the court and calling mr blair a war criminal who had been paid off by j.p. morgan for the iraq war mr blair said on the record that there was no truth in the allegation but you know the protesters are going to closer and closer you know these leaders have to look over their shoulder more and more especially blair who technically speaking qualifies as a war criminal for the activities in iraq certainly and his connection to j.p. morgan of course the oil blood for oil that he denied was the case that's been proven to be true the oil deals he did after leaving number ten show a clear connection blood for oil so the protesters quite accurate and of course in terms of an elected officials

to herbert is my go i need to step out of it slap me really hard ouch here's these unelected officials who are running the i.m.f. telling everybody around the world now what to do and they're talking about why they had to pay these people so much why christine legarde has to be paid five hundred fifty thousand ninety thousand of it by the way max ninety thousand dollars is for her living expenses to cover her living expenses and at the same time she's telling the greek people shut up and just vote correctly and i don't feel pity for you you little slobs you little peasants for you not being able to feed your children well at the same time she's telling the american taxpayer mostly but also british taxpayers to pay for her family and her living expenses and her travel expenses i mean the phrase use is a payback yes a back to the greek people and that's really disgusting from christine legarde to use this type of phrase jala jean describing these these people in greece who are being financially raped there but they're subjected to financial terrorism from christine lagarde the i.m.f. the

newspaper editors or proprietors are an unelected force. >> if you view them as that. i don't view editors -- >> rebekah brooks at the leveson inquiry, answering questions coming from robert jay, who's pushing to get a sense as to the political inference of power of the newspapers. she's also been talking about the time in which she had to resign from news international and seems to have made it clear she received support in some form from both tony blair and david cameron, among some other secretaries of state. >> make sense of international news at bbc.com/news. >> funding was made possible by the freeman foundation of new york, stowe, vermont, and honolulu. newman's own foundation. and union bank. >> at union bank, our relationship managers use their expertise in global finance to guide you through the business strategies and opportunities of international commerce. we put our extended global network to work for a wide range of companies, from small businesses to major corporations. what can we do for you? >> bbc world news was presented by kcet los angeles.

if we give control to nine unelected people with a revolving fund of that over the years will be billions of dollars, we think that is not the way that tax revenue should be spent. we have a legislature we have elected and the governor and they need the flexibility to spend that money on their priorities >> is in this better than nothing when we consider the people who pay the money, smokers, it will not be affecting a lot of people, why not just do it rather than have nothing? >> there is this idea of a user tax that we impose on people to change their behavior and if you play that out, what will be fined ultimately? we will find it sugar taxes, fast food taxes, unhealthy sexual behavior taxes to pay for fet research, you can go on and on of things that we can tax that are unhealthy but do we really want government to impose fines and try to control people's behavior taxes? >> though you said you're not unnecessarily against the >> i am against that. >> your problem is against where the money's going >> he is against the nanny state as well. one, the idea of tax, too, the idea of where t

one doesn't like to use that term in relation to an unelected organ such as the press. really it's just a play on words, isn't it? >> no, i don't think so. if you look at decisions david cameron is making now, whether it was military action in libya or troops en route to afghanistan or spending on the health service or tax levels, newspapers can't do those things. and that is real power, which he has invested in him because he's the prime minister. newspapers can influence all of those debates. i don't think it is power. >> i'll move to a different topic now. >> maybe slightly -- different. but i wonder whether it is not rather more than mere influence. i don't limit the meaning of the word influence. because what newspapers have is what is longevity. and politicians tend not to have longevity. so mr. murdoch has been there or thereabouts for 40 years, which is a very, very long time. you make the point that he is the most powerful media owner, and then you describe mr. dacre as the most powerful newspaper editor. but doesn't that longevity give them rather more than in

ideology is starting to get people used to be has a view that were once considered radical you know unelectable platforms you know they're starting to hear about it and and then when you have something like what happened last weekend it really it really validates that people are frustrated and that they're really responding to what ron paul saying and tell if you look at some of the recent polls in the presidential election the campaign i've been seeing in the last few days dead heat between romney and obama what happens if mitt romney loses some of those people who right now are supporting ron paul what if you know they don't show up to the polls or do you think that it would still be a dead heat well i think. if if you know the worst case scenario if if romney goes all the way and. in tampa you know we don't see any any challenge by ron paul supporters i think he's still going to have to adopt some of ron paul's more accepted ideology india's platform because what the g.o.p. has seen is that these kind of libertarian independent dissatisfied voters are not being served by the republican party

i don't view editors as unelected forces. >> how do you view them then? >> journalists. >> but isn't the point you're really make anything paragraph 15 not so much about the unelected force, um, one could talk about unelected and democratic, whatever, if it's relevant. it is that you're shaping and changing government policy to suit your own interest, isn't that the myth you're really talking about? >> that was also as i was suggesting, yes. >> but there is no doubt, or perhaps you would disagree, that newspaper editors and proprietors are a powerful force. they have a voice, they have a megaphone. >> i think i understand, i understand, sir, what you're saying. i think what i'm trying to say is that particularly for newspapers like "the sun" is you have to, you have to -- your power is your readership. it's not an individual power or, um, you know, it's a readership power. and i think that's really important. i think tony gallagher, the editor of "the telegraph" said this, you know, if he fell under a bus, the power of his office would go. and i think jus

those people who make those rules which are as you pointed out laws, those people are unelected and they work for anyone that elected and that is a problem. >> john: you wrote a book. you talk about the federal regulatory monster? >> our laws are not being passed or put in place by people who are elects. this is income patable with article one section one and seven of the constitution which went out of their way anyone making laws have to be passed by people in congress that are elected in every two years and every six years in the case of senate. >> john: and let's say, so what. it's all stuff that is supposed to make life better? >> it's supposed to and we want to believe it will. we want there to be clean air and pursue the lofty goals passed by congress. one of the problems we have is when you insulated those that write the laws and also the same people enforcing them. the people affected by them and from the voters, they don't look at the fact they aren't accomplishing what they are supposed to accomplish. sometimes they are having exactly the opposite effect. they are making us all

it's going to be a problem because largely secular, unelected regimes in the middle east have not fared well for the last year and a half. and believe me, they're aware of it. and it helps to come to negotiating table from the sense of legitimacy and credibility and strength, and right now that's not particularly there, so that's one of the reasons they're balking. it's unfortunate because we are committed to the two-state solution. we are committed to reaching a conclusion within one year. netanyahu said if he would sit down with him, he would conclude it within one year. we know the price. we know as netanyahu told congress that there will be settlements beyond our borders. we know that there has to be a solution for jerusalem. he said that too. we said all we need is the palestinians to sit down and negotiate with us very, very seriously. we had some preliminary talks in jordan recently. we hope they'll be renewed. we hope the palestinians will have unilateral movements in the 81 that won't get them anywhere, an attempt to get a state without making peace. on this, the united states

we're having a civic movement against an unelected regime. this goes back to don's point. it's a wide coalition. when weep do have the next free election, you not see like people in the same party. what you seep now is the opposition coalition for honest elections it was called until march. right now there will be a rebranding presumably now. it will it be ten or 12 different parties when the time comes. the economic solutions will ranging from there to here. they'll it be completely different. that's not the question now. that's not the point now. >> and maybe just it out follow up that question, i think a number of people would argue werners would argue that the sources of putin's power have to do with the fact -- with the image that eases established security, established stability. and prosperity. and as president, as head of the government he retains a lot of ways to influence the prosperity of the country going forward. russia faces some pretty heavy economic headwinds. to what extent -- to what extent can putin -- and i think from your comments the answer is obvious

it seems that the only bureaucrats that are unelected and unaccountable and lie to the gsa are now totally irresponsible. that's not how they want this stuff cycled. if we want to address these needs, let's focus on getting the private sector paychecks those these one out of every six americans that have become poor under the obama economy can go back to work and have a paycheck so they don't have to worry about these support systems. and contrary to mr. doggett's aserks about exxon, their tax rate is one of the highest in the world at 42%. where does it step? let's do exxon today, apple tomorrow and the middle class the day after that. let's just raise taxes on every employer and that way we can have fewer working americans and more people that become dependent on welfare solutions. this has been framed as a choice between exxon and jennie. and this is the way the democrats like to make this argument. they want to divide us. alternatively, the path to prosperity says why don't we both for both jennie and exxon? both be prosperous. both thrive economically, and that way julia, doesn't have

people that said schools should be desegregated agreed that it shouldn't happen by the decree of nine unelected justices, it should happen in the state legislatures or the congress or somewhere where there's accountability. of course, there was many cases after that, really changed the way state legislatures and ultimately congress elected people. again, still the same way, prayer in the schools was another one, which was really the thing that energized the christian right and brought them into the political process. subsequently, after warren, the roe v. wade decision, i think the conclusion people said was exactly the conclusion that should have been, that's not me saying it, that's what i quote people saying, but the court had no business doing this, has nothing to do with the constitution, there's no real constitutional law in the case, but they are simply mandating the things that happen. so all these different cases, there were criminal justice cases and a good many others that really changed the way the social structure of the country worked, all done by these few supreme court justices.
