they do that as well too. but the system doesn t really work for the actual people, for the people who vote for these elected members. it the does work very well for the campaign contributors. in griftopia, you paint this incredibly amusing but incredibly scary portrait, which is your specialty, of politics essentially as culture war entertainment. politics as sort of a reality show that s just about keeping people sort of divided, red and blue, selling products, and keeping money moving, but really the governing happens offstage. if that s true, then how much say do we have even nominally in the big, important governing stuff, like regulation of the economy? well, not a whole lot. i mean, that s kind of the point i was trying to make in the book. obviously, there are places where the people have a say in important issues. health care is one. but there are an awful lot of issues where i don t think it s a coincidence that a lot of the
megyn: the president came out and said specifically no, you cannot compare what s happening in mexico with what mapped in colombia 20 years ago which lead some like ambassador bolton to charge president obama doesn t get it. i disagree with the president on this one. and i once again agree with the ambassador on the comparison with colombia. and look the important message when it comes to colombia is the success story behind plan colombia. if you look at what was happening 20-25 years ago in colombia, the levels of violence there surpass the levels of violence in connection coright now. what when heed to do is we need to invest more with respect to money. we need to get that money moving. a lot of that money is static. it has not been moved into the right places. but here is what i can say. here is what concerns me more than anything else.
even though i didn t vote for obama, when he was elected i prayed that he would be successful. unfortunately, he wasn t. he hasn t accomplished anything since he s again if office. all i see a bad economy. people out of work and no money moving. i was happy when he won, even though i didn t vote for him. because i thought he was going to unify our country. he s dividing. taking rich people against the poor. he s taking the immigrants against the americans. he s dividing our country. he said we were getting out of the iraq war. we out. he said he was going to pass universe at health care we have universal health care. [ talking over each other ] he delivered what he said he was going to do. [ talking over each other ] but he has destroyed the country in the process of doing it because he has taken away our freedoms. the question is are you happy with your vote?
