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 story at all. And we should also know that theyre completely trout they cant get loans rents are actually quite high in camden although youre living in la potato conditions. And this was one of the major Manufacturing Centers of the United States. Oh i used to have r. C. A. Victor. The famous italian tenor caruso used to come here. Campbell sued 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. I am. Coming 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 today ta 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 we won the 2nd world war it was his proposal corporatism that seriously was the scenes in a war in iraq is really arguing that it 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. Thats by 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 sign this bill into law or 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. Donald trump do solemnly swear i will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States also this president of the United States. And theres no question to tell us how were well into that world were well into the corporatist world but this crisis there were in 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. And. There is no. So this kind of. Created. At least in its political. And that gave rise to. The elites look at trump is an embarrassment i mean hes idiotic hes. Incompetent 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. Deductions that. Are temporary for the middle class but are long term for wealthy friends in Real Estate Private equity he gave the military 10 percent budget increase which then even asked for. And he deregulated Industries Like the e. P. A. With corporate friendly judges and so they tolerate. 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. It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep thats a famous mussolini quote youre a tweet it was a lead it was was a lady id say ok dont go its a very good quote its a very interesting quote and i know what i saw i saw what i know who said it but what difference does it make whether is was to leave me as somebody elses or 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 his story and 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. Not at fascism yet thankfully the possibility of something approaching 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 that 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 tweets reveal d about the thinking of the most powerful man in the world and his priorities and some would argue his humanity by now it is obvious that trump is actually a bad negotiator this symbiotic relationship between trump and his socalled adversaries 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 guarantee 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 poppy. That has suffered the most economically are africanamerican households. Because they can put forth a black face or a woman in functions as a brand and thats what obama wants obama was a brand and thats why after he won in 2008 advertising age gave obama its top annual award which was marketer of the year. Alone i. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this spirit Dramatic Development the only place im going to exist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. To us but its put it this time not just today but the style of. Which that. Even. The. First year march. Quarter. But. Did. He push too much think its time for some. The corporate state doesnt mind having somebody like a trump around in sort of embarrassing but they dont really mind providing he brings the taxes down providing the. Contracts and providing that he does what they want if it gets too annoying to get rid of it. Isnt clear to what extent he understands that he is a sort of. Dancing. Is so good at the youre a good 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. Anyways on real. Work you dont we have ever seen you do it we would make america strong. We would make america go well again we will make america proud and we will make america safe we. Give all we can. Get to give up. That theres no word on. It i want back there and i think. They were strapped down here so we got their house like 9 years ago now where theyre going you know.

Thank you all for being here this very Incredible Group of world class Business Leaders thats what you are these c. E.
