Closed and the closed doors on us are. I dont know what to say. Because its a crying shame really is. I was a long time democrat. But this last election before it came along i switched parties i switched parties on the republican now and. I think mr trump is doing a great job for us i think hes trying youre going to help the country you work for and i think you try to do that really goes. Down to little to no job and. Neighborhood causes plenty of strains are part of peoples emotional state will peoples physical state. If you could feed your family if you cant pay youll be used as soon as you into a major state of depression. When the steel mill said dahlia that took a major part of the city away this was a a wedding awaiting davids bridal. This is 722. 00 steals 3 we have acquired this property from the model only county lead bank for a 1000. 00 house its pretty lets you know just the bad you know so its a lot of theres a lot of stuff. That although nothing else so a lot out but itll still have to go. Home you know we just have to clear a lot of the furnishings that was left over whoever was living here they werent here alone maybe about a year 18 months max and and then they were gone i didnt run across a suicide note that was left i guess either by the hose been or the father of the house he stated that he you know he was up in a bad position in his life right now and it was sorry for everything he had. And whoever was reading the note if they were actually reading the note they would find him hanged in a garage. I mean if i came home seen a note like that it probably was scared the heck out of me i would he would want to see what was in the garage i would just be getting up out here which seems like thats what the family did because they left everything behind clothing always bedding furniture you know whatever whatever was here. Was a was left. Mortgage companies you know foreclosed properties areas got bad you know drug infested you know drugs you know just pretty much saturated the city which caused a lot of people to pretty much flee to. The corporate coup detat it was begun in the early 1970 s. Lewis powell in his 971. 00 memo which he wrote when he was an attorney for the chamber of commerce he later became the Supreme Court justice talked about what he called the assault on the Free Enterprise system. And he called on corporations to use their power and in particular their money to build counter institutions and to take over and destroy liberal institutions. Institutions that traditionally gave a voice to the working class and cared about the rights and needs of the citizenry. But i dropped later charges that applied Car Companies with running risks that countered them but do. Quote perhaps the single most effective antagonist of American Business is ralph nader so if they do it to help new york city it will be to help the banks. Who thanks largely to the media has become a legend in his own time and an idol of millions of americans. And dawn are justified in any way to getting us to matter i dont want to have a climate in this country where i want to ask the avonex that it. Exists and steely determination in order to speak truthfully and candidly critically of american industry of all memoranda it was a combination of delusion and paranoia. He basically said to the Business Community youre going to hire a lot more lobbyist swarming over congress youve got a poor a lot more money into the their campaigns both parties republican democrat youve got to get out on the campuses and get right wing speakers. Progressive speakers he had the whole 180 degree. Constitutional. Do solemnly swear that i will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States. People like reagan in the early form of modern optimism again switching everything back to if you like to pretend it roosevelt and i found americans in recent days all of us have been swamped by a sea of Economic Statistics some good some bad and some just plain confusing you see that red line represents the rate of unemployment from the 1968 through the present the congress should act on Regulatory Reform to help make government more economical and efficient and the private sector more productive tax reform and budget control our economy would be free to expand to its full potential thats our Economic Program for the next 4 years were going to turn the bull loose. Thank you very much. What youve done for me is better than not. Things were starting to happen in italy and. You could already see the cracks opening up so the gaps between rich and poor began growing. And trying to tell you there is no program or promise that a president can bake the federal government going in come in that you want to do this the only voice you heard was this. Voice of the inevitability of the marketplace i hear you and millions of other men and women like you stand for the bad years of hard work thrift commitment to family and the love of god that made this country so great and will make us great again. We saw the rise of what i would call the phone liberal class ah you spoke in the traditional feel your pain language of liberals and yet the situ asli carried out an assault against the citizenry on behalf of Corporate Power today as i sat on the north American Free trade agreement into law we are ready to compete and we can win. So its under clinton that you get nafta. Nafta allowed manufacturers particularly auto manufacturers in canada in the United States to move their production to mexico it was deliberate they moved their production their companies there because they had such low wages in mexico which did not help the mexican workers by the way this is false to say that mexico won it was a lose lose lose for the people in a win win win for the corporations down the hall to the white house east room he came with 3 of his predecessors in cairo with a real effort by mr president with the stated doubters that hes prepared to fight but the greedy this is happened all over the world particularly in the United States that the radical decline of the Labor Movement and unions which were a Political Force even more importantly it and they were on the shop floor United States always had weak unions to come to countervail against the corporations and the peak there were 34 percent of the labor force but they are now down to 11 percent total and only 6 percent in the private sector so essentially the countervailing power base and institutional power base is gone and part of that was an all out attack by organized corporations and went after them today we are taking on this. Story chance to make welfare what it was meant to be a 2nd chance not a way of life its under clinton and you get the destruction of welfare and originally 70 percent of the recipients of our Welfare Program were children. Its under clinton that you get the 1904 army was crime bill crime has been a hot political issue years too often to divide us while the system makes excuses for not punishing criminals and doing the job because the democrats were taking back the issue of law and order from the republicans. Laws to incarcerate a double double triple sentences 3 strikes youre out was so that people could go to prison for life for nonviolent crimes. So there was an explosion in the prison industry. Which of course is a form of social control for de industrialized pockets they are often the kinds of kids that are called super predatory has no conscience no empathy and they used all the coded words super predators law in order. As the pillage was being carried out the white majority was being indoctrinated with this idea that marginal usually poor people of color were responsible for the destruction of the country the assault on their national identity. Believe it or. John youre also what. Ok 321 twice over the past 8 months i traveled to the midwest to a city thats become a metaphor for many for jobs lost factories closed and the disappearance of the 9 to 5 middle class 40 year the down the garden candidate mark the beginning of the end of the scale dominate youngstown area behind me there are no longer smoke stacks and much of it is covered by vegetation. Oj hedo and are you doing thats depressing been down here to be honest with you your cant talk about the Mountain Valley and not talk about the steel and manufacturing. Them small region like the arms again. I used to wake up in the morning to the noise of the Blast Furnace rumbling now i wake up to them tearing the facility down. Was a pandemic no certainly no blood is just lying to nationalities. Has emerged to be wheedled of the facts in. The stick. Comedy crisis so it is interesting to see. We can do better we should be doing better. Everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created with the response has been met so many good people are helping us. It makes us feel very proud that clear in it together. How can you explain love ive been to 82 countries ive given to up i came here and in those 3 days i just filled with hope. And you kept pretty is sick show. I made my decision to come here because i felt i knew i could build a new life you. Know companies and. Supreme. God decided that this money is no good to be free. Then. My one dream is that all my children find the same kind of happiness i do. I love my home i love cold weather i like the culture i like the history i like everything about it. So i dont buy that. Russian fall. Down districts more just steel mills would be shut down by friday. Trying to recover from that they passed nafta in new york is great wall street good stuff nafta and on the west coast nafta is great because you got out of los angeles you have the ocean and thats coming from china and mexico and all that stuff so all those free traders theyre making millions but the people here theyre hurting their jobs are gone these new jobs are going through. These issues. We gave. People it can be hard to go buy that plant now and know that the aisles and used to work they are g. M. Employees learn friday afternoon that up to 1500 of them would be laid off when the 2nd shift is eliminated the county says your old American Finance network the property the county. His office has been trying to collect taxes for 5 years and is in the foreclosure process. This is truly a metaphor or wrong with both Americas Health care system which through mergers and corporate ization take the community away from their own health care and from their own facility they did not need to plant it i did this this is another example of being able to walk away from your responsibility and then putting it back on the community thats already desperate and. Reaching kids here in the youngstown area where i found though i must say i dont like to live in a trailer park i mean its not that its a bad park but its not who i am its not just me theres 1100 still workers not to mention all the other facilities of 100 it supported the mill and a lot of people lost their livelihood what role do you think politicians play at all but. I think theyve been bought by Corporate America and their puppets every single one doesnt matter if youre a democrat or republican theyre all corporate loans i dont think they can think for themselves i think they just do as theyre told so you wonder who was it who are the people who voted for donald trump quite a few were people who voted twice for barack obama and voted for Bernie Sanders that was even more astounding that made me say theres no way i can simply sit here and guess what folks are thinking i need to understand whats going on in peoples minds why this situation is far more complex than what we give it credit. And they actually brought up workers from mexico and the workers here had to train those workers that they knew were going to take their shops and then they had the workers. Back up the machines and shipped them down to mexico. Not anymore. This valley has a very rich democratic tradition. They voted democrat almost always until President Trump came along and upset the apple cart when i saw Hillary Clinton really struggling with trade issues and nafta and i sent a 4 page memo. I predicted in that memo that shes bleeding badly blue collar voters. And those are the voters in pennsylvania michigan wisconsin that could have turned the election and her standing on a stage in columbus i mean i dont mean to beat her up because i really do love the woman and i work for her but she stood on a stage in Columbus Ohio and looked out and said were going to put a lot of call miners and Call Companies out of business you got a blue collar job. Thats what they heard her say he never came around and said hey were going to put people out of work he said hey im going to put you back to work. When people are thirsty theyre going to drink any water they dont care the water is dirty d ringback. If it is in. Your hand. There you go again. As you go out for your own for a couple i dont so there are heard about you sorry we got snow that yeah thats good which. Is why i asked him i saw you. Which you know the weather was a lot better of course and theres been this this tax cut most will of course which want to corporations but some which went to middle class working class people are you saying any difference in your own feature about 20. 00 went right out and what do you do with those 12 of those 20. 00 what can you do with 20. 00 its gas you know it might help you have build it what about the tariffs i know that dont you or your you cross the border to to work into a pennsylvania you know search and because that had any impact so far to your knowledge well i mean 1st of all i want to applaud the president for still cares we need to do years ago. But ironically now this company man you know most of the mills like the 2 mills i put down you just cant find slabs made america our company has to go to russia to get. Donald trump briskly use the issue of steel and the conditions of Steel Workers whove been laid off the last 2 jobs. And some talking point and now he. Says and seems to have many people believe that he is leading the charge to bring steel back to the United States and to youngstown in order to bring still back to this area you have to have somebody thats willing to invest in building new Blast Furnace as new electric are cornices that melts down and put it in slab youll never see 12021500 people working in a facility and a spill knowing. Whose radio face showed you dont you can be anyone for a good afternoon 3 o 7 as we get underway here today all right i think it takes courage to do what President Trump is doing i think it takes courage as i said he is a president s that doesnt view us as a market place he views this as a nation not speculating on whats going to happen im looking at whats taking place right here and right now when it when it comes to trump and im looking at whats happening in this community you know whats thats thats where im at on it was is what i want to say about him is his policies contrary to what you believe have not benefited Middle America thats what i want to talk to the voters about lets look at his policies david i just said these guys we have people getting bonuses and raises in noting locally as a result of that tax cut it has benefit members of this community hold that thought well come on what ever happened to you worried about the deficit always said its not to be more than happy to talk. About that because it says if we can get 4 to 5 percent growth guess what a lot of novels are solved. Overnight between. Product and the art rivers is not a regulation thats going to create jobs ok it is a regulation designed to take care of his billionaire but. That when i come back in a minute news radio. Over the last 8 years is. That its been 16 years. There is that. Millionaires and billionaires. Prosperity trickles. In response to president obamas 2008 election there was a counterrevolution billionaires and powerful corporate interests were terrified that obama and democrats in congress would tax the wealthy that they would redistribute wealth in this country but they would overreaching Health Care Reform and in response to that the corporate interests and they funded hate groups and front groups to oppose the obama agenda and to whip up hate in society to divide americans on race and class and religion. Muslims build mosques where the victors they want to build a mosque at ground 0 where islamic terrorists killed 3000 americans. They placed advertisements on television scapegoating muslims claiming that reform will put dangerous criminals on the streets showing pictures of africanamericans and. Racial fear maybe we. This is how. She thought it was. This was not because billionaires and major corporations necessarily believes in these messengers but they wanted to undermine Political Support for economic reform. To Supreme Court today handed down a landmark ruling on Campaign Finance laws in a 5 to 4 decision the court overturned century old restrictions on corporations from using their funds to advocate for a specific candidate the majority opinion affirms corporations have 1st amendment rights and that the government cant limit their political speech. They have done things like allowed unlimited infusions of Corporate Cash as the right to petition the government or a form of free speech its a complete inversion so youre a Constitutional Rights are still exist on paper but have been reinterpreted to essentially bolster Corporate Power and that has left us utterly defenseless as a person youre worried all that theres too much money in politics if you believe that we ought to go back to moderately that the people are such sheep but they just swallow whatever whatever they see on television or reading the newspapers shafter this misfires. How much is enough for. The richest one percent of this country owns half our countrys wealth financed trillion dollars i create nothing. I own. We make out a new war peace famine of evil a price to pay for cliff we take that rabbit out of a hat way but its out there want to know how the hell we did it. Now youre not naive enough to think were living in a democracy are you buddy. I would argue that. In the act of cutting our own arteries whether its throat or the wrists. Its largely because weve allowed ourselves to be convinced by our own elites as a democratic system is a secondary product of the free market. And even the people. Who voted for obama thought that there was a real turning point that we can get a. Black president and that would set everything in motion that we didnt recognize that the change was sold happening in spectacle of who was in the white house those sinews in the system were always there and they think obama knew how to play them very well but he was also playing to an audience. And i think that once that audience started to catch on bad their lives werent changing and we were dating back to not only what does he know year but what is the most paper. And that has been the fierce were back to the right. But i think we need. Im just getting back to realizing that modern medicine as if to some great things but actually when it comes to what has increased our Life Expectancy more than anything else in the last 5 you know the last sort of 150 years most of these be Public Health you know modern medicine can be actually beat to be maybe 3 and office 5 years while i expect to see over an increase of 40 years in the last century in office and thats again something that people really find quite surprising quite shocking. Ambani and by nonstate it so many people because they copy them you sure that even such a bad copy is sending. Im not here to plug anybody into god im here to find the next guy. Who looked up live on the in the human being done the influx of the lab the lab she went down county and. The deflection move for the c. E. O. Actually is the deflection board is happy to say that. That is going to be better than i got are familiar to. You and others are going to going to hear a lot about that and. That that you can bank on to go out there theres nothing like a. Long long while and then you know also on the bottom theres a playlist which alone control can not only. Handle one person and lead tourny move 100 gandhi a new normal gandhi around the place fast they are going to go. You mock you join you. In the stories the shapes the weak violence the sides on the streets of Portland Donald trump finally pledges to pull out of federal offices. The mother of a 12 year old boy dropped from his house in the middle of the night because he had a toy gun accuses London Police of racial profiling.
