Was a long time or a 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 look. At. How the little to no job in a neighborhood causes plenty of strains apart peoples emotional stable peoples physical state. If you could feed your family if you could pay your bills as soon as you went to a major state. When the steel mill said dahlia thats a major part of the city away this was a a wedding awaiting Davids Bridal for us. This is 722. 00 steals 3 we have acquired this property from the bottle only county lead bank for a 1000. 00 house its pretty lets you know its just a bad you know so its a lot of theres a lot of stuff thats legal thats all there is nothing else so a lot out but it will 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 where 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 hanging of a grudge. Me if i came on was seen a note like that a product to scare 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 a lot of properties areas got bad you know drug infested you know drugs you know just pretty much saturated the city which causes a lot of people to pretty whats. The corporate coup detat was begun in the early 1970 s. Lewis powell in his 171. 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 i hear do excuse im gone are justified in any way are investigating 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 the coal 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 an early form of modern optimism again switching everything back to if you like to pretend that roosevelt period i found over 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 will 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 there 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 spoken the traditional feel your pain language of liberalism 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 and 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 on 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 but the real effort by mr president a day with the stated doubters that hes prepared to fight for the treaty this is happening all over the world particularly in the United States that the radical decline of the Labor Movement and unions which were Political Force even more importantly it and they were on the shop floor United States always had weak unions to to come to countervail against the corporations and 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 as. 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 laws 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. Or. John youre also. 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. 00 to 5. 00 middle class. Candidate mark at the end of the. Youngstown area economy there are no longer smoke stacks and much of it is covered by vegetation. Thats depressing and to be honest with you your cant talk about the valley and talk about the steel and manufacturing. Them small. Arms of. 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. Ambani and by north speak it so many people because they copied him is so good that even such a bad copy is sending. Im not guilty anybody until god didnt feel to find the next guy. Who looked up live again in the human being done be in philosophy and read blood she went on panty and dump. The deflection move for the c. E. O. Thing is a deflection what is comfortable saying. That is a god given that i got out for many answers. That he and others are going to going to hear a lot about that. But that you cant buy a gun you probably get nothing like a. Long long while and then you also on the bottom the Shopping List which i would control can not all. Handle one person and lead to any move 100 gandhi the new normal gandhi. On the phrase christ David Begnaud to you then go to mock you then they will join you. The world is driven by shaped by. The cares thinks. We. Dare to ask. Districts more just steel mills would be shut down by friday. Trying to recover from that it past now in new york is great wall street good stuff now and on the west coast is great because you got angelus you had 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 their jobs are. Full it can be hard to go buy that plant now we know that fails and years to work they are g. M. Employees learn friday afternoon that up to 1500. 00 of them would be laid off when the 2nd shift is eliminated the county says your old American Finance network the property the county Treasurers Office has been trying to collect taxes for 5 years and is in the poor closure 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. This this is another example being able to walk away from your responsibility and then putting it back on the community thats already. Its here in the youngstown area where i found. I dont have a trailer park i mean its not that its a bad park but its not who are you its not just me theres a lot of 100 still workers about the mention all the other facilities of 100 it supported the mill and a lot of people lost. Her 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 are 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 scinto 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 how to train those workers that they knew were going to take their shops and then they had their workers. Back up the machines and shipped them down to mexico. Coming. Not any more. This valley has a very rich democratic tradition. They voted democrat almost always until President Trump came along and upset the applecart 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 coal miners and called 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 d. If it is. Your own bill there you go you go. Through as you go out for your own forum for i dont care so her or her brought you for your you know you got snow that you know thats good thats. Why i asked them 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 were to corporations but some which went to middle class working class people are you saying any difference in your own future about 20. 00. Went out and what do you do with those twins 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 up front of you know sort and because ive had in the impact so far to your know 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 guy. Me a 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 is basically 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 melt down and put it in slab youll never see 12021500 people working in a facility and a spill knowing. Radio 5 showed you know it could be anyone for good afternoon 3 o 7 is 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 what thats thats where im at on it was 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 noting locally as a result of that tax cut it has benefits members of this community hold that thought well come on whatever happened to you worry about the deficit i always said its not to be more than happy to talk about that because its as if we. You get 4 to 5 percent growth guess what a lot of novels are solved. Overnight between Companies Really called product in the art rivers is not a regulation thats going to create jobs ok it is a regulation designed to take care of billionaire but. That when i come back in a minute news radio. Over the last 8 years is. That its been 16 years. That there is this. 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 billionaires 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 1st centrists muslims build mosques where they won military victors we want to build a mosque at ground 0 where islamic terrorists killed 3000. 00 americans like the japanese. They placed advertisements on television scapegoating muslims claiming that promote Justice Reform will put dangerous criminals on the streets showing pictures of africanamericans and and conjuring racial fear maybe we. Dont think you want to go. 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 and a 5 to 4 decision of 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 read in the newspapers shafter this misfires. How much is enough for. The richest one percent of this country owns half our countrys wealth 5 trillion dollars i create nothing. So you make. A new war a span of evil a price to pay for clip we picked out a rabbit out of a hat wire but its out there want to know how the. 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 artery. Whether its throat or the wrists. Its largely because weve allowed ourselves to be convinced by our own elites its a democratic system product of the free market. And even the people who voted for obama said 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 change happening in the spectacle of the white house those. 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 that their lives werent changing then we were back to not only what is what is almost here and that has been the fierce were back to the right. But i think we need to kind of just get back to realizing that what a medicine has achieved some great things but actually when it comes to what is increased Life Expectancy were really getting else in the last 5 years. The last sort of 150 years must be Public Health you know modern medicine can be attributes to any maybe 3 and off to 5 years. Over an increase of 40 years in the last century in office and thats again something that people who we find quite surprising quite shocking. A dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. Dozens of women sells their bodies on the street many of them underage. Los Angeles Police reveal a taste of their daily challenge no if youre going to exploit a child here in los angeles there are going to come as you see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight 6 trades. You cannot be both with the yeah you want. In the stories. Streets of portland. Federal agents. Turning a tragedy into a force for change a daughter who lost her father to cruel. To highlight Americas Health failures and the devastating impact on families they have been doing their jobs. Preserving the economy theyve been driving home this also
