No dares thinks. We dare to ask. If. It could be argued. That were now in the midst of a cook. In slow motion. Democracy is weakening. Conferences and strengthening. Yet none of us has chosen this route for a society. Just fine of which our elites quite happily continue down that. This is a multi lane highway. Kind of savage laceration. That runs directly over the center of camden new jersey so that commuters in and out of philadelphia never have to see this city this sacrifice. I am. And thats what weve done weve rendered those trapped in the sacrifice owns the invisible. These people have been not just rendered invisible through infrastructure but theyve been rendered invisible through a media which doesnt report their stories at all. And we should also know that theyre completely trapped they cant get loans rents are actually quite high in camden although youre living in la potato conditions. And this was one of the major Manufacturing Centers of the United States. Right. You used to have r. C. A. Victor. The famous italian tenor caruso used to come here to. Campbells soup one of the Largest Companies in the country. This was a major chord up until world war 2 ships were built to europe and then just in the port in world war 235000 people were employed. Who were. Who are. Coming great admirer of the canadian intellectual John Ralston Saul who use the term corporate coup detat in his book the unconscious civilization was a very important book for me because it it gave me the vocabulary to understand that corporate detat how it was carried out and how it expressed itself in our society in 1905 writing Something Like that felt really risky because i was essentially saying you know muslim you won the 2nd world war it was his proposal corporatism that seriously was defeated saying a war in iraq is really arguing that it was the way of organizing society which he had become more. And more powerful please raise your right hand and repeat after me. Donald john do solemnly swear and i was slightly covering my bets by saying that it was a coup detat in slow motion because i was feeling my way into no one ever said anything like that. When i sign this bill into law or america will have the lowest marginal tax rates and the most modern tax code among the major industrialized nation. But i guess i was wrong was that it wasnt so most its really very funny when you think about this really a matter of. Donald trump do solemnly swear i will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States he also this president of the United States. And theres no question that. Were well into that world were well into corporate history. But this crisis there were is maybe we want to call it a legitimacy crisis right the status quo or the legitimating framework of capitalism right that has sort of guided us over the past 3 decades and this kind of organizing system has really lost legitimacy the main reason is simply that its been a project that has benefited elites enormously and despite all of the kind of rhetoric of how much you know market flexibility will help workers how much free trade will help you know average people become more skilled and get better jobs the reality is ordinary working families are not doing well in fact theyre doing substantially worse than they were doing a few decades ago and theyre getting jobs we used to be. Youre getting. Your little 21 inch screen. And how about america and the max. And. So this kind of. Created. At least in its political. And that gave rise to. The elites they look at. Some mean these idiotic hes. Competent hes lazy. At least was a stupid enough to realize that he had to give the corporate c. E. O. s wall street what they wanted which was the. Temporary. Long term for. Private equity he gave the military budget increase. And he deregulated Industries Like the e. P. A. And so they tolerated. A number of. Hard core economic libertarians particularly billionaires and individuals like the koch brothers. Made very clear since the early seventys that they would like to see a system. Property owners that is a democracy to represent those with money those with economic power. We have today because its been shaped and crafted by hoping to ensure that democracy doesnt exist. But instead we have just a constellation of powerful interest groups. It was basically saying individuals cannot be the source of legitimacy in society it has to be done on the basis of self interest. In town and space specialist groups its astonishing when you read this stuff and you see the extent to which that idea of group us versus the responsibility of the citizen has become increasingly are the day. It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep thats a famous mussolini quote youre a tweet it was a lead it was was a lady id say ok dont go its a very good quote its a very interesting quote and i know its i saw it i saw what i know who said it but what difference does it make whether is was to leave me as somebody else and so certainly a very interesting quote that you want to be associated with a fascist. No i want to be associated with interesting quotes i think this particular time in American History including trump is one of the most important periods of the history including the revolution and i say that carefully as historian because theyre run out of options and what you see is donald trump is the end of the option of a corporate dominated system it may go to fascism its not at fascism yet thankfully the possibility of something approaching fascism particularly if there is violence particular system the black Community Something no. Repression attack on Civil Liberties is certainly possible and could be very ugly could be very ugly when you have a system of power where a tiny group of people have all of it are messed up and you have 8 people who control half the wealth when you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us dont get together and take it back. You can see that the logos been superimposed on to the other fighters face all these 20 to reveal about the thinking of the most powerful man in the world and his priorities and some would argue his humanity by now it is obvious that trump is actually a bad negotiator this symbiotic relationship between trump and his socalled adversaries and c. N. N. And b. C its kind of phony when you get right down to it i mean c. N. N. Made a 1000000000 dollars last year cable News Companies will steadily gain and make money during the course of the elections is and then as soon as the election happens their profits will drop off that did not happen with trope he gets 2 scoops of the no i scream with his chocolate cream pie instead of the single scoop for everyone else theyve continued to make money theyre making bank like never before and trump is definitely the reason everybody understands this. Is the symptom is not the disease the system was already so corrupt and the anger towards the elites in both the democratic in the Republican Party was so pronounced. That his full guarantee actually gave voice to a large segment of the American Public that was sick of being betrayed and lied to we know from 2008 that the segment of the population that has suffered the most economically are africanamerican households. Because they can put forth a black face or a woman in functions as a. Thats what obama was obama was a brand and thats why after he won in 2008 advertising age gave obama its top annual award which was marketer of the year. I love. I. Was a pandemic no certainly no borders to nationalities. Has emerged we caught up with the we dont have the facts the whole world to. Judge us coming every crisis. We can do better we should be. Everyone is contributing your own way but we also know that this crisis not go on forever the challenges crave the response has been so many good people are helping us. It makes us feel very proud that were in it together. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its Crazy Foundation let it be an arms race. Spearing Dramatic Development only really im going to exist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. To corporate state doesnt mind having somebody like trump around and sort of embarrassing but they dont really mind providing he brings the taxes down and providing the. Contracts and providing that he does what they want if he gets too annoying to get rid of it. Isnt clear to what extent he understands that he is the sort of. Dancing puppets. Its so good to be here of the greatest ratings when im on your show about people who spend a lot of time and money getting the Supreme Court to remove controls on spending elections putting in place laws that have to do with how corporations run those people are watching carefully to see the extent to which is this boy our boy or not can we really get enough use out of him. Anymore. Like you dont we have ever seen you get we will make america strong and we wont make america will be again we will make america proud and we will make america safe again. If you are.

They were strapped down here so we got a house like 9 years ago where the guy who owns 9 years ago my housekeeper closed only stay here because this close to his backyard. Every night. It seems theres no good news when it comes to the Housing Market sales of existing homes plunged 8. 6 percent in november as compared to october just 6 months 3 of the 5 biggest independent firms on wall street has now disappeared 9 years ago barry went downhill broke apart their family their house their. Work during the month. I was woken by one day and the peak of here was it was still dark out though the sun had come up and came up and i seen a guy just should not there kind of look like he was sleeping or whatever so i just kept walking and the guy was up there and he was overdosed and he was dead he must have sat there on my knee must either froze to death already overdosed itself killed im. Sure the needle and you know his arm and then everybody comes running by like oh my god where do you get that is everybody wants to go so this was you know i mean its its a pretty sad situation going on here right. I wish you park i think im coming out here well can i sue is this my guy again. That they can create a white that will get it. So these are sacrificed such places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit. And left behind misery poverty environmental devastation. Are you. I.

R. Feeding more families and im talking my husband the wife and the children 20 percent might be actually living on the street. The rest of them may be in low Income Housing or Something Like. 200. 00 people might come in on the 1st day of the month and 400. 00 people might come in on the last day that much but its the people that are coming in towards the end of the month with the children and they tell us im here because i cant pay my electric bill and feed my kids why why do you think that is because they think that in spite of the fact that the economy has improved for a segment of the population the people that are at the bottom life really hasnt changed and probably even got harder for them. And the rest are you know now you know that everybody calls madam says chris had adam i graduated from our program got how many years ago at actually 2000 where were you in prison i was a Southern State southers my son was but it was a right thats where all the eric white area guards are would one go or has leg is hanging from a tree.

Thank you all for being here this very Incredible Group of world class Business Leaders thats what you are these c. E. O. s are in some cases pulling compensations cockroaches in the billions of dollars often defrauding their own shareholders so this is the bill right here that i consider this very much a bill for the middle class and a bill for jobs and jobs are produced or companies and corporations and you see that happening corporations are literally go it wild over this these corporations and banks what do they do with the tax cuts will be bought back their own stock 170800000000. 00 thats how much in buybacks this year that is the most seen this far into a calendar year ever why because if the stock goes up the compensation packages for the managers of these corporations goes up.
