You cant be both with the yeah you like. We had a period of time where we had 7 and a half miles of mills ok continuous 7 and a half miles of mills theres none left and carry an all around all our manufacturing memphis country all these things and i blame it on the politicians its the establishment its washington d. C. Theyve got their little cliques theyve got their thing. They dont care about i mean us. And it doesnt matter democrat republican theyre all the same theyre all im sorry to use that language but. Theyre in there for one thing theyre in or to get elected. The reason Donald Trumps in there is because hes a celebrity or he did this or he did that he is in there because he is not one of them and we are so frustrated. We had to vote him in if donald trump goes away well find another trump believe me well find another one the people dreamed this couch the people built this country at its the people who are making America Great again. The clintons and the obama was all oh 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 where some of them have been accused of misusing their offices in terms of the of lavishness of those offices so on and so. For 2 to trump state a promise to drain the swamp if you will i dont think he granted i think he moved into the white house so he didnt drain the swamp he just moved to dinner. I think every politician has probably abused iraq. Why dont we totally drain the swamp. Why are we the people more actively involved. Dont trust major contributions so far has been completely devalued the idea of Regulatory Oversight and so you know. 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 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 someone 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. Pane promised after the president. How to quote do a big number on the dot frank act oh 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. Into the Bank Lobbyists 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. Jim 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 that are designed to prevent another crisis those who can actually extended into the Community Banking sector ground which did not have a cascade effect i helped write. 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 and 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 sara was small right no no they dont as installed were 10 years after the financial crisis but congress is moving to hold some of these big you voted with a republican softer bill as i write i voted to support the Community Banks the bill is entirely about you citi group along with some of these Community Bankers and other big trade associations really hit the hill had a lot of lobbyist working on this you have any what do you thing. That the banking lobby and their Campaign Donations had any influence over 2000 a fiasco the bank said no no role in that debate you ask me what do they have any influence over the vote. Banking lobby have any influence on this vote go to see office and takes. A lot of 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 over 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 bank will. Be 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 write necessary regulations here thank you so much take care. In response to obamas one effort to clean up influence peddling in 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 numbers 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 or 10000000000. You served in the Bush Administration now.

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 a good. I was but its also one that would you recognize now im so surprised when you have break through the brakes it was a real and so it isnt democracy.

And all present. In the blue zones then she had to track 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 links who emerged from the cave in the history of the species. Is in some cities in california los angeles and San Francisco in particular but their biggest threat are criminal. Black male. Else who are involved in this crime and violence so keep the political commentary to yourself or as someone once said shut up and durable. Well be right back.

Max kaiser financial Survival Guide liquid assets not those that you can convert into gas quite easily. To keep in mind no assets mean to inflation. Or. A duck industry comes to life in los angeles every night. Dozens of women sells abilities on the streets many of them underage. Police reveal a taste of their daily challenge no if youre going to exploit a child here in los angeles they were going to come out you see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight the l. A. 6 trades. Big is the regulator work that we started 1st ours was roebuck a small cousin and his brother was the producer of. The. Video is called my nephew who got killed and were going to video youll see 2 of my cousins standing in front of will be doing makeshift sheets of rest in peace at his name and all that is.

Not. One of her. Period. Its like you know our family was a good family you know me and you should come to your environment. 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 than. We have to understand is of course were talking about capitalism more production you know 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 systems own to indecent owing to communities and families that are out there racism is. Terrifying its core to the problem so is the sexism which we dont talk about enough they are essentially promising to her 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 cam to get ds White Supremacy forces capitalist forces patriarchal forces a most 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 period. Was all really about a battle that the losers after 1900 never except. For trade as a defeat of their right as the only 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 could 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.

The truth is they want to ban every drug in america certainly illegal immigration is 100 percent about voting 24 hours a day the democratic push brusha narrative collusion narrative 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 said or. In understanding how systems of power work which you can only grasp it. 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. Oh brother dylan 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 america did. But without the rule of magination vision and courage shattering the indifference and shattering the callousness and thats the challenge i discern fight back in the attacks 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 they are 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 antidemocratic 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 a Younger Generation concerned about not just psychological crisis the planet concern the bugs the walls to. People how do you think its 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 fast as we hope that it doesnt return to the most barbaric and be still love. Of aspects of our condition the human condition that its inside of all of us thats inside the hatred and the gangsta lite proclivities inside every human being. Until it occurs in their. Presence there is. Yes were almost there so its all kind of. So what words are responding and i think then date i help everybody here dont quote whatever advice. Take we were.

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 own reminder to me of really how civilizations work were all part of something just deeply deeply injured and this is the enormous flaw in the corporatist argument that you can sort of slice everybody up into their Interest Groups and then get somebody who is a con 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. Some fosli grossmans great novel once and for she. Writes about the evils of both communism and fascism the evils of idiology still seek to exterminate whole numbers of opponents people whether theyre condemned by because of class or race. And in the novel he talks about the power a few kindness which he witnessed as a war correspondent he was installing rather well. All the way to baghdad. And he said that the power of the human kind of smooth steady. It is not human kindness and that in the face of evil. Evil that is impotent in the face of humankind. Because it is never able to crush that small kernel class. And i think thats right. I think that. We probably only save the world one person at a time as well that was years ago. That those small unheralded acts of compassion. Are what keep us human and ultimately are the seeds by which we can rise up again. There are a wanted rally was. A ladder larry. Larry.
