market libertarians. their entire business is based on government contracts. they basically started the company 50 years ago, their father by building refineries for sta for stalin in the soviet union. in the bush years they got a contract for the imminent domain reserve. why do you think they buy the politicians? they want to milk the governor. the most ironic thing i ve ever seen. finally real quick here, is this the quid pro quo you ve been talking about and a lot of people have been talking about all along? have we seen that through this phone call? absolutely. this call really showed the substance of what governor walker was thinking. two months ago, the real david
pretending to the one of the brother, david koch. and you get this? walker bought it. the guy who said he s not going to talk to anybody. the kochs are call? his office confirmed it. i wouldn t believe it. it s an amazing insight into his public thinking. we re going to give you a whole breakdown of the tape in one second. wait till we get to the part about baseball bats and parties in california. but first on the call, governor walker wasted no time threat threatening worker layoffs. i got layoff notices ready. we put out the at risk notices, we ll announce nuthursday and they ll go out early next week and we ll probably get 5,000 or 6,000 layoffs. we might ratchet that up a little bit, too. yeah, reed diwith the layoffs.
we need reassurance for the republicansi republicans okay? you re going to have to get ads and give back for what we did for you. and finally, the fake koch dangled an award for all his hard work going after working americans. well, i ll tell you what, scott, once you crush these basta bastards, i ll fly you out to cali and really show you a good time. all right, that would be outstanding. parties in cali. california they re going tupac style. after we re done with the bats, go to california and grab at least a couple of brews. do you see how this works? walker gets campaign cash, help from the koch brothers, then he gets rewarded with parties in california, more ads, more reassurance, and the cycle goes round and round and you get screwed and the middle class gets screwed and the koch brothers get richer.
miracle. he used 97% of the budget gap he had, he covered up with stimulus money, the money he kwlclaimed be against. and think of the idiocy of these governors b turning away recovery money. they re so ideological they re willing to hurt their citizens to stand for what? an ideology which is pay to play? pay for corporations, pay for the richest. there s a reason why scott walker took david koch s call. koch pac contributed $43 million to his campaign. you see it all over the place. finally they re getting called out on it a little bit. you re right, kay sisich and wa turned down stimulus government 37 then you say i ve got a
and if you didn t know, now thanks to that tape, you know. well, you heard the tape. and on the tape, he says these guys are weak, they ll bend. i won t ever compromise. and i ll trick them into coming into the state. how do you respond to that? cenk, thanks for having me on the show. yeah, we re not falling for it. i ve actually worked with walker for the three years before he was governor. when we were both in milwaukee county, and this is the kind of stuff that he does. he appreciates this right wing race to the bottom. he s really living in this moment where he s trying to lead the country and trying to lead these other republican governors and no, we listened to it all today. i woke up early, got this into my e-mail and forwarded it on to the other senators. and everybody listened to it. you know, and their jaws just dropped on the floor.
