I am. And thats what weve done weve rendered those trapped in the sacrifice sones invisible. These people have been not just rendered invisible through infrastructure but theyve been rendered invisible through a media which doesnt report their stories at all. And we should also note that theyre completely trapped they cant get loans rents are actually quite high in camden although youre living in la potato conditions. This was one of the major Manufacturing Centers of the United States. You used to have r. C. A. Victor. The famous italian tenor caruso used to come here to. Campbells soup one of the Largest Companies in the country. This was a major port up until world war 2 ships were built to europe and then just in the port in world war 235000 people were employed. Who were. Who. Some a great admirer of the canadian intellectual John Ralston Saul who use the term corporate coup detat in his book the unconscious civilization was a very important book for me because it it gave me the vocabulary to understand that corporate detat how it was carried out and how it expressed itself in our society in 1905 writing Something Like that felt really risky because i was essentially saying you know muslim you won the 2nd world war it was his proposal corporatism. That seriously was defeated war and i was really arguing that was the way of organizing society which he had become more and more powerful please raise your right hand and repeat after me. Donald john trump do solemnly swear and i was slightly covering my bad saying that it was a coup detat in slow motion because i was feeling my way into no one ever said anything like that. When i signed this bill into law america will have the lowest marginal tax rates and the most modern tax code among the major industrialized nation. But i guess i was wrong was that it wasnt so most its really very. When you think its really a matter of fact its. Donald trump do solemnly swear i will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States he also is president of the United States. And theres no question that. Were well into that world were well into a corporatist world but this crisis there were is maybe we want to call it a legitimacy crisis right the status quo or the legitimating framework of capitalism right that has sort of guided us over the past 3 decades and this kind of organizing system has really lost legitimacy the main reason is simply that its been a project that has benefited elites enormously and despite all of the kind of rhetoric of how much you know market flexibility will help workers how much free trade will help you know average people become more skilled and get better jobs the reality is ordinary working families are not doing well in fact theyre doing substantially worse than they were doing a few decades ago and theyre getting jews who used to be. Youre getting. Your little 21 inch screen. There is no. So this kind of ruling has created. At least in its political. And that gave rise to. The elites look at trump is an embarrassment i mean hes idiotic hes. Competent hes lazy. At least was stupid enough to realize that he had to give the corporate c. E. O. s wall street what they wanted which was the tax cut. Temporary for the middle class but are long term for. Private equity he gave the military 10 percent budget increase which then even asked for. And he deregulated Industries Like the e. P. A. Judges and so they tolerated. A number of. Hard core economic libertarians particularly and individuals like the koch brothers. Made very clear since the early seventys that they would like to see a system that rewards Property Owners that is a democracy to represent those with money those with economic power. And thats the government we have today. Because its been shaped and crafted by billionaires that are hoping to ensure that democracy doesnt exist but instead we have just a constellation of powerful interest groups. It was basically saying individuals cannot be the source of legitimacy in society it has to be done on the basis of self interest. Down on space specialist groups its astonishing when you read this and you see the extent to which that idea of group us versus the responsibility of the citizen has become increasingly are the day. It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep thats a famous mussolini quote yuri tweeted it was a lady it was was a lady id say ok to its a very good quote its a very interesting quote and i know its i saw it i saw what i know who said it but what difference does it make whether its was to lead me or somebody else and so certainly a very interesting quote that you want to be associated with a fascist. No i want to be associated with interesting quotes i think this particular time in American History including trump is one of the most important periods of the history including the revolution and i say that carefully as historian because theyre run out of options and what you see is donald trump is the end of the option of a corporate dominated system it may go to fascism its not at fascism yet thankfully the possibility of something approach. Fascism particularly if there is violence particularly in the black Community Something of repression attack on Civil Liberties is certainly possible and could be very ugly could be very ugly when you have a system of power where a tiny group of people have all of it are messed up and you have 8 people who control half the wealth when you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us dont get together and take it back. You can see that the logos been superimposed on to the other fighters face all these 20 to reveal about the thinking of the most powerful man in the world and his priorities and some would argue his humanity by though it is obvious that trump is actually a bad negotiator this symbiotic relationship between trump and his socalled adversaries and c. N. N. B. C. Its kind of phony when you get right down to it i mean c. N. N. Made a 1000000000 dollars last year cable News Companies will steadily gain and make money during the course of the elections is and then as soon as the election happens their profits will drop off that did not happen with trump he gets 2 scoops of the no i scream with his chocolate cream pie instead of the single scoop for everyone else theyve continued to make money theyre making bank like never before and trump is definitely the reason everybody understands this. Is the symptom is not the disease the system was already so corrupt and the anger towards the elites in both the democratic and Republican Party was so pronounced. That his vote garrity actually gave voice to a large segment of the American Public that was sick of being betrayed and lied to we know from 2008 that the segment of the population that has suffered the most economically are africanamerican households. Because they can put forth a black face or a woman in functions is a brand thats an obama once obama was a brand and thats why after he won in 2008 advertising gave obama its top annual award which was marketer of the year. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to heal some air force base in alaska where is that to say come on ill show you whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area russia. What is it suddenly about the South China Sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil.

Join me everything. On the alex im unsure when ill be speaking to guess who the world of politics business im show business ill see that. The corporate state doesnt mind having somebody like a trump around and sort of embarrassing but they dont really mind providing he brings the taxes down and providing the. Contracts and providing that he does what they want if he gets too annoying to get rid of it. Isnt clear to what extent he understands that he is the sort of. Dancing that. Is so good to be here again sean youre the greatest ratings when im on your show about people who spend a lot of time and money getting the Supreme Court to remove controls on spending elections putting in place laws that have to do with how corporations run those people are watching carefully to see the extent to which is this boy our boy or not can we really get enough use out of him.

Destroy the needle and you know i was armed and then everybody comes running by like oh my god where do you get that is everybody wants to go so this was you know i mean its its a pretty sad situation going on out here right now i wish you park i think im coming on your luck i see you this my guy that you know they can think a white that we were that. Easy. So these are sacrifice ups places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit. And left behind misery poverty environmental devastation. Are you. With. I. Think. What have you seen in terms of patterns like over or lets say the last couple years are is up and stable or things getting worse throughout would you describe i know within ive been here going on 9 years and over the past 3 years we are feeding more families and im talking my husband the wife and the children 20 percent might be actually living on the street. The rest of them may be in low Income Housing or Something Like. 200. 00 people might come in on the 1st day of the month and 400. 00 people might come in on the last day that much but its the people that are coming in towards the end of the month with the children and they tell us im here because i cant pay my electric bill and feed my kids why why do you think that is because they think that despite the fact that the economy has improved for a segment of the population the people that are at the bottom life really hasnt changed and probably even got harder for them. And the rest are you know now you know that everybody calls madam says adams i graduated from our program got how many years ago at actually 2000 where were you in prison i was a Southern State southers my son was but it was a right thats where all the erik white area guards are would one go or has leg bibis hanging from a tree.

With you know incredible lucidity and to from how attack critique by cohen someone. Engages in the kind of trash talk and alluded to corporate are what i write well thank you so much for joining us right here i dont know it will be well. Thank you all for being here this very Incredible Group of world class Business Leaders thats what you are these c. E. O. s are in some cases pulling compensations packages in the billions of dollars often defrauding their own shareholders so this is the bill right here that i consider this very much a bill for the middle class and a bill for jobs and jobs are produced or companies and corporations and you see that happening corporations are literally go it wild over this these corporations and banks what do they do with the tax cuts will be bought back their own stock 170800000000. 00 thats how much in buybacks this year that is the most seen this far into a calendar year ever why because if the stock goes up the compensation packages for the managers of these corporations goes up.

The 62 year old wall street tycoon raked in nearly a half 1000000000. 00 between 2002007 the start of old school free markets low taxes low everything government doesnt provide anything for anybody kind of conservatism that is the policy preferences of the tiny 8 rich doods who own half the wealth and the you know layer of rich people underneath and it is not popular so you have to get it by other means and so you see things like Voter Suppression building more prisons and disenfranchising people who have spent time in you see gerrymandering you see all sorts of undemocratic practices that are used to make sure that people who might vote their own interests cant vote arent represented when they do vote and then you just see people running like trump promising to bring jobs back to their states and then what they do once in office is a big old bait and switch and its this kind of insane attitude where theyre just looting and stealing as fast as they can as everything collapsed. This used to be it was going to im just like lose a good friend.

Hundreds rather miles just like with this one right here this was this was. The thing is that when you have family printers in charge the act of printing all that paper money to hang around eyes themselves really fills their head with dreams of its fiats of primacy thats the ultimate form of supremacy is i print therefore i am and if you can pull the levers of political power with their family if you can acquire assets with their feet that money it gives you that god complex that we have so much of around the world and countries and big corporations and now its all going to come crashing down.
