the armed forces in a post iraq and post-anything goes budget world seems to be a good start. troop strength in europe has to come down. the era of keeping a big ground force for a big war is over. the pentagon needs to be more +tvátu that right. but the real rubber hits the road next month when the pentagon releases their proposed budget and congress decides how much of our tax dollars get spent. even if the pentagon s proposed budget makes it through weight watchers, it still has to make it through the porkers on capitol hill. and here s where it gets really interesting. you want to talk about money and politics? wait till you see what defense contractors trying to preserve their gravy train too. i m not talking about political campaign contributions. i m talking about huge corporations with thousands of employees threatening to pull jobs out of congressional
independent spirit of the country, is the first state with the direct rejection of the citizens united decision as a violation of state s rights? it s massive. it would be logical for a state like vermont to do it. but coming out of montana, it s huge. think about it. you have a state supreme court that s bucking a very e recent supreme court decision. they are not overturning something that occurring 15 or 20 years ago when we lived in a different mind set or cultural era. this was two years ago. they are already saying, forget it. we have every right to regulate money and politics in this country. and joining us now is jimmy williams, susan del percio, and david. very nice to have you here. susan, you re probably the most skeptical of this entire undertaking, which is why i will come to you first. i learn more when i talk to you about this.
c]nstitutional amendment that says corporations ain t people and money is not speech. the biggest success stories so far have come in the two most influential cities. new york city and los angeles. we haven t even gotten into the legitimate court action that came out of montana that makes the rest of this look like tidally winks. here with an update on the bat is nick penman. thank you so much. last summer you got this going. for taking that ball and providing the tools for us. tell us how do we use that map? how do we get more people to help you? let me start with the fact that the country is rebelling against the system that s taking place today in new hampshire. it s like there are two sets in american politics on the stage now. one set that s broken down. the politicians are on right
about it. it exploits influence for private gain. greedy bastards offer customers on a low price on something they naid need. but if you dig deep enough, there s always a catch. the odds of that terrible risk happening today, tomorrow, or any given day are close to none. doesn t sound like a bad deal, right? but in the long run, the small risk is inevitable. the way the game is played, that small risk is put on to the government. when greedy bastards use money to advocate policies that make it happen. in the book, i call this the bad deal. think of it this way. take this delicious, mouth-watering pricey chocolate bar at a fraction of the cost. you can t resist, can you? but here s the catch. somewhere inside this sweet is a rock hard enough to break your teeth. you can t see the rock. you can t figure out where it
and who were you borrowing the money from? you were leveraging that money from to purchase companies and destroy them? i gave a speech about two hours ago. a guy raised his hand and says, isn t regulation going to screw up our financial system and put us as a disadvantage with foreign countries? i çsaid, wait. stop for a second. what did the unregulated system do for us in 2008? it almost took this country down. we have to get serious about our problems. and this campaign is not getting us there. listen. perhaps these types of conversations will begin to get us there. the beautiful thing is we live in a country where we can say these things. we need to get tim tebow speaking about these things. talking about financial reform and campaign reform. set up a meeting. it s a pleasure to see you. ahead here, auction 2012
