for america. so instead of pulling an arlen party switch from left to right, let me suggest you switch from the bankster party, those who would give away our money, but refuse to structurally reform the system that creates too big to fail, two-class system, special interests, rigging of the government, to the people s party where all we want is basic fairness. where i know that what you re getting, what i m getting, the opportunity et cetera, is not rigged by the government because i m paying off the government to screw you over. it could be actually the thing that save these politician s jobs ironically since they re the ones who don t seem to understand this. joining us from washington, d.c. is jason chaffetz from utah. congressman, a pleasure. you talked about running against or running for i should say for bob bennett s seat opted not to do it. are you thinking about running perhaps for orrin hatch s seat. um, maybe. that s a yes. that s a yes. no, no, no.
welcome back. it a peers we do indeed have a two-party system today in america unfortunately, it s not democrats or republicans. it is clear from the latest developments in the fight for financial reform, that the great divide in our political system right now is between the people and the people s party. and the banksters. and the bankster party. for example any of these 33 lawmakers who yesterday voted for the kaufmann-brown safe banking amendment, legislation that actually would have dealt with too big to fail, deserves to be considered a member of the people s party. at least for the day. special props to the three gop lawmakers, who crossed that aisle. you can see here senator coburn, senator ensign and senator shelby. unfortunately, the amendment was ultimately defeated by 66 nay votes, including some nos from a numb of lawmakers who were happy to give away your money in the
original bailout package. those senators, some of whom you see here, are definitely in the bankster party. giving away your money when the banksters ask for it. refusing to reform the system after the fact. how do you actually have the audacity to vote for a handouts with no strings attached to stinking-rich bankers who have leveraged our system to its nose, cause an economic collapse. and then you do nothing to fix the problem a few years later. you guys are funny. oh. another disappointing blow to the people s party ned, a compromise on senator bernie sanders audit the fed amendment. on thursday, the people s party, democrats and republicans a part of it, had the momentum, transparency, and accountability. it s easy to say, right? well, the fed was thrown up against the ropes, with senator sanders amendment gaining more and more traction, to reveal to the american people just how big
john, a pleasure, thank you for the insight. coming up on the dylan ratigan show, america s real two-party system. the bankster party and the people s party. who s in which and why? we re breaking down where your lawmakers stand in this country. are they for those who would take our money? or for those who would force it to be lent and invested in our country? plus, the race to contain the gulf coast oil spill. what we now know about the feds and how they let the oil companies regulate themselves. that s a good call, right? also, is it better to be lucky than good? what the gop is saying about the times square bomb plot and president obama s terror policy. we re back here on friday afternoon at msnbc. by jell-o. three decadent flavors. 60 calories.
