A great weekend. On september 19th 977. 00. Dollars subsidiary of the likes Corp Announced that it will. Be all veterans of 20 to 30 years. To work in your many year who are to believe they were put out on a 3 dont know what were going to do it really started in the late seventies when these companies were able to move their production our shores so you saw the ending of a number of Steel Companies the shifting of manufacturing to the global south where the wages were lower where the environmental rules were not. Either exist in or enforced and thats the beginning of this concept of these transnationals they have the technology to do it they had the Transportation Systems to do it and frankly governments werent stopping them. And i just remember one day i was i was working on the boss come up to me and says thats it were going home. I thought were going home early why is because were closed and you could be closed doors on us or. I dont know what to say. Because its a crying shame really is. I was a long time or a democrat. But this last election before it came along i switch parties i switch parties on the republican now and. I think mr trump is doing a great job for us i think hes trying to youre going to help the country you work for and i think you try to do that really to. See. What. Kind of little to no jobs in the neighborhood causes plenty of strains apart peoples emotional state old peoples physical state but. If you could feed your family if you could pay your bills as soon as you went to a major state of depression. When the steel mill said dahlia what i took a major part of the city away this was a a wedding a wedding gown davids bridal. This is. 722. 00 steals 3 we have acquired this property from the model and county lead bank for a 1000. 00 house is pretty lets you know just a bad. Lot of theres a lot of stuff. Thats all there in the house so a lot out but itll still have to go. Shouldnt you know we just have to clear a lot of the furnishings that was left over whoever was living here they werent here alone maybe about a year 18 months max and and then they were gone i didnt run across a suicide note that was left i guess either bought a has been or the father of the house he stated that he you know he was a in a bad position in his life right now and he was sorry for everything he had. And whoever was reading the note if they were actually reading the note they would find him hanging of a grudge. Me if i came on was seen a note like that a product to scare the heck out of me i would he would want to see what was in the garage i would just be getting up out here which seems like thats what the family did because they left everything behind clothing to always bedding furniture you know whatever whatever was here was a was left. Mortgage companies you know foreclosed properties areas got bad you know drug infested you know drugs you know just pretty much saturated the city which caused a lot of people to pretty much flee to. The corporate coup detat it was begun in the early 1970 s. Lewis powell in his 171. 00 memo which he wrote when he was an attorney for the chamber of commerce he later became Supreme Court justice talked about what he called the assault on the Free Enterprise system. And he called on corporations to use their power and in particular their money to build counter institutions and to take over and destroy liberal institutions. Institutions that traditionally gave a voice to the working class and cared about the rights and needs of the citizenry. But i dropped later charges that applied Car Companies with running risks that countered them but do. Quote perhaps the single most effective antagonist of American Business is ralph nader so if they do it to help new york city it will be to help the banks. Who thanks largely to the media has become a legend in his own time and an idol of millions of americans adairville x. Years and gone are justified in any way to getting us to matter i dont want to have a climate in this country where i want to ask the avonex that it. Exists and steely determination in order to speak truthfully and candidly critically of american industry of all memoranda it was a combination of delusion and paranoia. He basically said to the Business Community youre going to hire a lot more lobbyist swarming over congress youve got a poor a lot more money into the their campaigns both parties republican democrat youve got to get out on the campuses and get right wing speakers. Progressive speakers he had the whole 180 degree. Constitutional. Do solemnly swear that i will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States. People like reagan in the early form of modern optimism switching everything back to if you like to pretend he rose and i found americans in recent days all of us have been swamped by a sea of Economic Statistics some good some bad and some just plain confusing you see that red line represents the rate of unemployment from the 1968 through the present the congress should act on Regulatory Reform to help make government more economical and efficient and the private sector more productive tax reform and budget control our economy will be free to expand to its full potential thats our Economic Program for the next 4 years were going to turn the bull loose. Thank you very much. What youve done for me is better than. Things were starting to happen in italy and. You could already see the cracks opening up so that gaps between rich and poor began growing. And trying to tell you there is no program or promise that a president can bake the federal government going in come in that you want to do this the only voice you heard was this. Voice of the inevitability of the marketplace i hear you and millions of other men and women who make you stand for the bad years of hard work thrift commitment to family and the love of god that made this country so great and will make us great again. We saw the rise of what i would call the phone liberal class ah spoken the traditional feel your pain language of liberals and yet the situ asli carried out an assault against the citizenry on behalf of Corporate Power today as i sat on the north American Free trade agreement into law we are ready to compete and we can win. So its under clinton that you get nafta. Nafta allowed manufacturers particularly auto manufacturers in canada in the United States to move their production to mexico it was deliberate they moved their production their companies there because they had such low wages in mexico which did not help the mexican workers by the way this is false to say that mexico won it was a lose lose lose for the people in a win win win for the corporations down the hall to the white house east room he came with 3 of his predecessors in cairo with a real effort by mr president a day with the stated doubters that hes prepared to fight but the greedy this is happened all over the world but particularly in the United States that the radical decline of the Labor Movement and unions which were Political Force even more importantly it and they were on the shop floor United States always had weak unions to to come a countervailing against the corporations and the peak there were 34 percent of the labor force but they are now down to 11 percent total and only 6 percent in the private sector so essentially the countervailing power base and institutional power base is gone and part of that was an all out attack by organized corporations and went after them today we are taking on this. Story chance to make welfare what it was meant to be a 2nd chance not a way of life its under clinton and you get the destruction of welfare and originally 70 percent of the recipients of our Welfare Program were children. Its under clinton that you get the 1904 army was crime bill crime has been a hot political issue years too often to divide us while the system makes excuses for not punishing criminals and doing the job because the democrats were taking back the issue of law and order from the republicans. Laws to incarcerate double double triple sentences 3 strikes youre out laws so that people could go to prison for life for nonviolent crimes. So there was an explosion in the prison industry. Which of course is a form of social control for de industrialized pockets they are often the kinds of kids that are called super predatory has no conscience no empathy and they used all the coded words super predators law and order. As the pillage was being carried out the white majority was being indoctrinated with this idea that marginal usually poor people of color were responsible for the destruction of the country the assault on their national identity. Believe it or. John youre also an. Ok 321 twice over the past 8 months i traveled to the midwest to a city thats become a metaphor for many for jobs lost factories closed. And the disappearance of the 9. 00 to 5. 00 middle class 40 years ago the coming candidate marked the beginning of the end of the scale dominate youngstown area behind me there are no longer smoke stacks and much of it is covered by vegetation o. J. They dont come are you doing now its depressing and on here to be honest with you youre cant talk about the bonding valley and not talk about the steel and manufacturing. Them small regional like the arms of. You they used to wake up in the morning to the noise of the Blast Furnace rumbling no i wake up to them tearing the facility down. Banks geysers financial survive. The bellatrix. Close to jesus this is a central plank support dying a film is going to cover my down so stop. Seemed wrong. To me but yet to shape out these days comes to educate and gain from it because the trail. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Choose to look for common ground. Illustrations but its put it thats not just it up but the style of speech that. The. First year from which im going to. Put up. The push to much think its time for some. Districts more just steel mills would be shut down by friday. Trying to recover from that they passed nafta in new york that does great wall street good stuff nafta and on the west coast nafta is great because you got out of los angeles you have the ocean there and thats coming from china and mexico and all that stuff so all those free traders there make a millions but the people here theyre hurt and their jobs are gone these new jobs are going to. Bombs in these issues. We gave. Cola can be hard to go by that plant now we know that bells and juice to work they are g. M. Employees learned friday afternoon that up to 1500 of them would be laid off when the 2nd shift is eliminated in mid june the county says your old American Finance network the property the county Treasurers Office has been trying to collect taxes for 5 years and is in the foreclosure process. This is truly. A metaphor or wrong with both Americas Health care system which through mergers and corporate is ation take the community away from their own health care and from their own facility they did not need. It i did this this is another example being able to walk away from your responsibility and then putting it back on the community thats already desperate and. Reaching kids here in the youngstown area where i found. I dont like to live in a trailer park i mean its not that its a bad park but its not who i am it is not just me theres 1100 still workers not to mention all the other facilities of 100 it supported the mill and a lot of people lost their livelihood what role do you think politicians play at all but. I think theyve been bought by Corporate America and their puppets every single one doesnt matter if youre a democrat or republican theyre all corporate owns i dont think they can think for themselves i think they just do as theyre told so you wonder who was it who are the people who voted for donald trump quite a few were people who voted twice for barack obama and voted for Bernie Sanders that was even more astounding that made me say theres no way i can simply sit here and guess what folks are thinking i need to understand whats going on in peoples minds why this situation is far more complex than what we give it credit. And they actually brought up workers from mexico and the workers here had to train those workers that they knew were going to take their shops and then they had the workers. Pack up the machines and ship them down to mexico. Coming through here. Not anymore. This valley has a very rich democratic tradition. They voted democrat almost always until President Trump came along and upset the apple cart when i saw Hillary Clinton really struggling with a trade issues and nafta and i sent a 4 page memo. I predicted in that memo that shes leading badly blue collar voters. And those are the voters in pennsylvania michigan wisconsin that could have turned the election and her standing on a stage in columbus i mean i dont mean to beat her up because i really do love the woman and i work for her but she stood on a stage in Columbus Ohio and looked out and said were going to put a lot of coal miners and called companies out of business you got a blue collar job. Thats what they heard her say he never came around and said hey were going to put people out of work he said hey im going to put you back to work when people are thirsty theyre going to drink any water they dont care the water is dirty. d ringback it. Her or her real real regret. As you go out or your own forum for guidance or so her. But you for your guts know that yeah thats good thats. Why i asked if i saw you. Which you know the weather was a lot better course and theres been this this tax cut most will of course which want to corporations but some which went to middle class working class people are you seeing any difference in your own future about 20. 00. Well right and what do you do with those 20. 00 what can you do with 20. 00 its gas you know may help build it what about the tariffs i dont lead on you or your you cross the border to to work into weapons of a certain does that head in the impact so far to your knowledge well i mean 1st of all i want to applaud the president for still tears we need to do years ago but ironically now this company man you know most of the mills like the 2 mills i put down you just cant find slabs made america our company has to go to russia to get. Donald trump its basically use the issue of steel and the conditions of Steel Workers those whove been laid off those who lost their jobs. And some talking point and now he. Says and seems to have many people believe that he is leading the charge to bring steel back to the United States and to youngstown in order to bring still back to this area you have to have somebody thats willing to invest in building new Blast Furnace as new electric are cornices that melt steel down and put it in slab warm youll never see 12021500 people working in a facility and a spill knowing. Whos radio face showed you know what you can be anyone for good afternoon 3 o 7 as we get underway here today all right i think it takes courage to do what. Trump is doing i think it takes courage as i said he is a president s that doesnt us as a market place. Speculating on whats going to happen looking at whats taking place right here and right now when it when it comes to trump and im looking at whats happening in this community you know once thats thats where i mean this is what i want to say about him is his policies contrary to what you believe have not benefited Middle America thats what i want to talk to the voters about lets look at as opposed to david i just said these guys we have people getting bonuses and raises locally as a result of that tax cut it has benefit from this community hold that thought well come on whatever happened to you worry about the deficit always sudden be more than happy to talk about that because its as if we can get 4 to 5 percent growth guess what a lot of novels are solved. Overnight between Companies Really called product in the are reversed is not a regulation thats going to create jobs ok it is a regulation designed to take care of billionaire but. When i come back in a minute. Over the last 8 years. Its been 16 years. That. Millionaires and billionaires. Prosperity trickles. Response to president obamas 2008 election there was a revolution billionaires and powerful corporate interests were terrified that obama and democrats in congress would tax the wealthy that they would redistribute wealth in this country but they would be overreaching Health Care Reform and response to that. The corporate interests and billionaires they funded hate groups and front groups to oppose the obama agenda and to whip up hate in society to divide americans on race and class and religion 1st centrists muslims build mosques where they are one military victors noam we want to build a mosque at ground 0 for islamic terrorists killed 3 you thought was in america just like the japanese pearl harbor. They placed advertisements on television scapegoating muslims claiming that promote Justice Reform will put dangerous criminals on the streets showing pictures of africanamericans and and conjuring racial fear maybe we. Would. Jesus i think. This is how. It was. This was not because billionaires and major corporations necessarily believes in these messages but they wanted to undermine Political Support for economic reform. This Supreme Court today handed down a landmark ruling on Campaign Finance laws in a 5 to 4 decision the court overturned struction some corporations from using their funds to advocate for a specific candidate the majority opinion affirms corporations have 1st amendment rights and that the government cant limit their political speech. They have done things like allowed unlimited infusions of Corporate Cash as. The right to petition the government or a form of free speech its a complete inversion so youre a Constitutional Rights are still exist on paper but have been reinterpreted to essentially bolster Corporate Power and that has left us utterly defenseless as a person youre worried all that theres too much money in politics if you believe that we ought to go back to murder case that the people are such sheep but they just swallow whatever whatever they see on television or read in the newspapers. Capitalism at its finest. How much is enough for. The richest one percent of this country owns half our countrys wealth 5 trillion dollars i create nothing. I only. Make the rules. A new war peace and one of evil a price to pay for clip we picked out a rabbit out of a hat why but its out there want to know how they did it. Now youre not naive enough to think were living in a democracy are you buddy. I would argue that welling gauged in the act of cutting our own arteries whether its throat or the wrists for slipping into. Its largely because weve allowed ourselves to be convinced by our own elites as a democratic system is a secondary product of the free market. And even the people youngstown who voted for obama thought that there was a real turning point that we could get a. Black president and that would set everything in motion that we didnt recognize that change was sold happening in spectacle in the white house. And you see news in the system were always there and the thing obama knew how to play them very well but he was also playing to an audience. And i think that once that audience started to catch on bet their lives werent changing then we were dating back to not only what does he know year but what is the most paper. And that has been the fierce were back to the right. L. Look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. Must obey the orders given by human beings except where such conflict with the 1st law should. Or should be very careful about official intelligence the point is to create trust. Like theories with Artificial Intelligence will summon. The robot must protect its own existence was mixing. With. God. God. Was.
