Clintons and the obamas all all they talked about families and children and justice and so on maintained these rights for corporations promoted the right of their companies to do whatever they want to around the world in a strange way it was those who might oppose trump right now who set the stage for him to be elected it was the very policies that hold out north america i mean we created huge pockets of poverty weve never had in 100 years the same difference between rich and poor the the class differences incredible they set the stage for a savior obama was supposed to be that savior and he wasnt and what happens after a savior fails you you look to something very different they set the table in my opinion for donald Trump Success do you find this contradictory in any way to be. A cabinet full of millionaires a situation. Were some of them have been accused of misusing their offices in terms of the use of lavishness of those offices so on and so forth. To trump state a promise to drain the swamp if you will i dont think he drained and i think he moved it into the white house so they didnt drain a swamp and just moved to dinner. I think every politician is probably abuse there are. Why dont we totally drain the swamp right away playing up. Why are we the people more actively involved. Major contributions of far has been completely devalued the idea of Regulatory Oversight and so you know Us Department of education or scott pruitt. In these people who are essentially trying to dismantle government oversight from within the e. P. A. Is regulators people that are jeffs. Hundreds of thousands and then you add to it smudges live gambits like the tax cut like this recent Bank Lobbyist. Partial repeal of the dot frank act theyve been on their wish list for ages the stuff thousands tens of thousands of lobbyist essentially are writing the legislation every once in a while a bill will be submitted and the the lobbying firms name will be on it because the congressman messed up you know by not taking it off my question represented god well somewhat heres what represent me im just curious does it have does the legislation have some connection to alec this bill didnt come to me from alec in answer to your question but the reason i ask is because earlier you passed out a handout that says got walt at the top and it says Health Care Compact and theres a local right in the middle of that page and i went to the elec website and there is exactly the same the same file. The same size in the same logo president on t. V. You know the campaign promised after the president now to quote do a big number on the dot frank act so he is the financial side to lobbying has succeeded in persuading the house of representatives to approve the biggest rollback of banking rules instead frank. The Bank Lobbyist came to capitol hill and pressured lawmakers to weaken their safeguards to rollback those regulations although it was mostly republicans who voted for this measure democrats who are some of the biggest recipients of bank money also voted with republicans to roll back the signature accomplishment of the Obama Administration. Made jim a 2nd when i was a leaf on our border with the intercept. Hi my name is leaf on. Why is Congress Moving to remove some of those dodd frank protections designed to prevent another crisis those tensions were actually extended into the Community Banking sector which did not have a cascade effect i hope. And i defended it for 9 years and like a lot of people i think that there were areas in which dodd frank said a little heavy on our smaller institutions some is having difficulty lending making small loans to Small Businesses so i know you have a history in the Banking Sector work to Goldman Sachs do you think that any influence on your decision about this what this is not a wall street bill this is a bill about providing relief to smaller communities to suntrust in space and so many other regional stadium banks now sarah was small right no no they dont as installed were 10 years after the financial crisis but congress has moved to some of these big you voted with republicans softer bill as i write i voted to support the Community Banks the bill is entirely about you citigroup along with some of these Community Bankers. And other big trade associations really hit the hill they had a lot of lobbyist working on this have anyone do you think that the banking lobby and their Campaign Donations had any influence of the 2008 fiasco that the bank said no no role in that debate you asked me where do they have any influence over the vote. Banking lobby have any influence on this vote go to see office and take it along with the Money Center Banks were thrilled with this its the Community Banks that like. Yes i did support the Community Bank bill and i think when people mess with this service and what things are that makes it really hard all right one last question you said the regional banks are doing very well thank you all right. Are you concerned that the banking lobby Bank Lobbyists had influence over this bill that they have too much influence here on capitol hill absolutely i think the banks the gun lobby the pharma lobby all have too much influence here in congress this bill 252500 1000000 in the kinds of things j. P. Morgan so you think the kinds of things that talking about are not small banks so i dont know that anybody with a straight face can say this is an answer to that question this is. Couching small banks in order to give big banks relief from these rate necessary regulations thank you so much take care. In response to obamas one effort to clean up influence peddling a washington lobbyist simply deregistered became more secretive thousands of lobbyist said were not even going to comply with the Registration System and were going to move into the shadows and continue to influence government but without disclosing what were doing on paper there are Something Like 9000 or 10000 registered lobbyist but in reality that the number is closer 2100000. On paper lobbyist spend about 3000000000 or so every year influencing the federal government but in reality that number is closer to 9. 10000000000. You served in the Bush Administration now. And general Company Better cvs a lot of military contracts what do you how do you feel about this issue of senior military officials government officials going to a large firms that receive Major Military contracts. As executive Vice President of a major defense for vets receive billions of dollars in defense contracts. To interface with the pentagon have you spoken to either Obama Administration officials or troubling ministration officials on contracting issues. Excuse me Fran Townsend here with just a quick moment i dont want to take too much of your time. Shake and i host a welcome to washington fundraisers for you my law firm on k. Street absolutely at 500 dollars and you can pick up 2025 grand get started in. The. History of the species very much a history of domination exploitation no pressure in the hatred contempt and then the kalama veiling forces the count of nailing voices against domination against a tree against and so youve got this struggle going on but thats what democracy is all about how do you interrupt the dominance cycles of domination oprah ssion hatred in b. N. Resent we is concern for compassion and the specially a concern for the moles. And. The week. And the history democracy is like the history of the blues. Because the blues is about catastrophe overwhelming catastrophe that seems to suffocate a great efforts. Of improvement. And yet one steel keeps keeping one steel tries to tell the truth one steel tries to fight for justice looks like youre going to make a breakthrough good morning hardy kirit is again. I was but is also one of which you recognize is oh im so surprised when you have break through the breakthroughs are real and so it isnt democracy. I am. One step forward 2 steps back 3 steps forward 2 steps back thats the history of who we are as a species both wonderful and terrible at the same time. Aspirational and visionary on the one hand. And all present. In the blues understand she had to check both poles at same time and always preserve not your optimism preserve your hope your prisoner of hope the corporate elites they want to divide. They want to divide and conquer it is a strategy as old as the eclipse who emerged from the cave in the history of speed seats. In some cities in california los angeles and san fran. In particular but their biggest threat are criminal gains and its other black males who are involved in this crime and violence to keep the political commentary to yourself or as someone once said shut up and. Well be right back. To fundamentals. They do all that they tend to cultivate decisions oh ffs. 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 were going to come out. This is going undercover as sex workers and customers to fight the trade. Big is the regulator work that we started 1st ours was roebuck thats my cousin and his brother was the producer of. My nephew who got killed and were going to the video youll see to stand in front of will be doing makeshift sheets of rest in peace at his name and all that is. An. Then 7 days later my cousin who i was close with more like a brother he was shot down in front of his kids he was walking into his house somebody walked up he had his daughter his girl. In the face. Him said and proceeded to shoot. One of her. Present in a. Period. This like you know our family was a good family in. And its just like that reality im so tired of best cycle that we see in a city this happens you know i mean we had to eat some nights so i had to go do what i had to do you know maybe in the streets and ran the streets for. You know and im just blessed that im able to be here and be a parent now i guess my whole focus on life is just to give market a better life to my. We have to understand its because of course were talking about capitalism more production euro is talking about. Realities because a profit maximisation is one that it lead to concerned about gaining access to low wage markets all over the world that has devastated so many poor working people of all colors places like camden where you have precious Black Brothers and sisters youve got White Supremacy shot through this is the same capitalist process. And of course as historically the case slave holding capitalism for over 200 years jim crow capitalism former 90 years and the jim crow jr had to do with what not just devastating industrial working class as a do the escalation of mass incarceration only to to cripple the educational system on to indecent owing to communities and families. Out racism is. Terrifying its core to the problem so is the sexism which we dont talk about enough they are essentially promising to for store hierarchy in which people know their place which men get their place this is what we refer to as patriarchy this is a society that runs around the sort of structure of a family where the man is the head of the family except the man is the head of society jam to get d. s White Supremacy forces capitalist forces patriarchal forces almost checkmate. Precious brothers and sisters. Were not accidental bits and pieces in different places it all fit together in a very Old Fashioned way. Its all really about taking us back. To essentially a pre democratic. Was all really about a battle that the losers after 1900 never accept. And portrayed as a defeat of their right as the own as the most powerful people. So bit by bit they put it back together again. And thats why you know in 1905 i felt i had to say things like were in the midst of a coup detat in slow motion. The world is a. College of corporations. Inexorably determined by the. Immutable laws of business. The world. Is a business mr b. Has been since man crawled out of the. Chase. Weve lost the ability to think. Images on screens are ubiquitous. The truth is. Every drug in america certainly illegal immigration is 100 percent about 24 hours a day the democratic push russia narrative collusion narrative. We are bombarded with images. And those images are confused with no. Clothes no water expect turned up. We confuse how we are made to feel with no. Game we cant success thats what its all about success trump stakes are by far the best tasting most flavorful beef youve ever had because one america is United America is totally unstoppable although be totally honest with you even if its not united were unstoppable set up. And understanding how systems of power work which you can only grasp. By investing yourself in a print based culture reading John Ralston Saul reading noam chomsky. But in a post Literate Society the books are still there but nobody picks them up anymore. You do great to meet you good to see you yeah really great to meet you need a great owner well known as mine no. Question which american. But without to imagine is in vision and courage shattering the indifference and shattering the callousness and thats the challenge i discern fight back in texas but also how did you conceive of every day people actually sees with the fire for a better world alternative but i think they are if they can figure out how to do it if they can feel that theyre involved that its about them and i think the great disaster of the last. 30 years is that a large part of. The liberal elite has basically given in to a large part of the themes of being basically anti democratic elite and so they they they theyre then created to discourse a top down discourse which excluded people is it which really made those people who are the who are the guarantors of democracy the holder of the citizen made them feel excluded and once they feel excluded they start getting mad and they get mad or theres a new day coming those signs of hope the Younger Generation concerned about not just psychological crisis the planet concern above the walls. How do you make it. In though its unpredictable in Indian History is a mystery just like love in life you just dont know we none of us have control you know when the the ruling classes think that there might be but they did not almighty theyre going to fall sooner or later we dont know what form we just hope it isnt neal fashions we hope that it doesnt return to the most barbaric and beast. Of aspects of our condition the human condition that inside of all of us its inside the hatred and the gangsta lite proclivities inside every human being. And i think their. President. Yes were all there sets up kind of. So wheres your responder and then date i help everybody here dont quote whatever i buy. Ok when i got. There can you. Pick up. Right now kind of tell me i have to be here and help the people here. When i am done that then ill do that i put other people 1st. And ive always been fascinated by them are modified. In august you see them heading south. And of course theyre going to head south across the United States to mexico where theyre all winter. And it takes about 3 generations to do the round trip. In fact known butterfly can be a god. There is no butterfly who knows how to do this who knows where to go. Theyre part of a civilization theyre part of a community theyre part of something which understands without knowing. Their reminder to me of really how civilizations work were all part of something just deeply deeply injured woven and this is the enormous flaw in the Corporate Star game and that you can sort of slice everybody up into their Interest Groups and then get somebody whos a kind of you know miscellany and trump like figure who uses emotion to hold it all together and isnt actually the way Society Works and all. Vasily grossmans great novel licenses he. Writes about the evils of both communism and fascism the evils of idiology use that seek to exterminate poll numbers of opponents people whether theyre condemned by because of class or race. And in the novel he talks about the power of human kindness which he witnessed as a war correspondent he was in style brad and went all the way to balance. The budget and he said that the power of the human kindness means that the bit is not humankind that is anchored in the face of evil. But evil that is impotent in the face of humankind i am because it is never able to crush that small kernel of class i and i think thats right i am not i i i think that. We probably only save the world one person at a time as well and i was aware years ago both. That those small unheralded acts of compassion. Are what keep us human and ultimately are the scenes by which we can rise up against. The law. There are a result of. Her there. Do you do you do you do you do you do you you. Know you.

Cant even join you. Need to. Point out a little. Green. And white 20. Even. If you really need to fight to realize that we need each other.
