there was a time in this country when
they talk about yesteryear and
American glorioso where things were
going relatively well
the little domestic front looking for
passing the CIA was thought to
coups in creating masses all over Latin
America Africa Middle East Center right
but between 1940 and 1980 we actually
we did have any banking collapse major
bank collapses that amazing
we're so used to the banks although its
giant collapse
broad is that nothing for forty actually
it
its 15 years when you actually go all
the way back to when they do the
regulation
to when the classes begin again right
where there were no
major banking collapses and up
productivity
was going up and is my favorite chart
you know I'm sure all product if he was
going up
as so we're american wages they were
going up at the same exact great
right any about 1978 ran into a brick
wall
so its and in in that time
you know ralph nader got us to get seat
belts save millions of lives
sepals incarcerate weather was
underrated things there is am
nader cut mix in the past the EP a if
I'm up
environmental protection is lamaze that
is amazing got on the pat nixon past
osha
to protect workers in their workplace
well I because there was so much
pressure from liberals
to actually look up for the american
citizens there are some strength yep
it was real we actually a government
that represent us
with all its warts and down-sizer cetera
but on the domestic front the
been a pretty decent job my guy I was at
the Lyndon Johnson
the Presidential Museum when lyndon
johnson became president
we still I mean it seems like a
relatively recent we didn't have
electricity throughout the country
right to Tennessee yet cozy Valley
Authority at I mean
that begin the process is so but it
cannot be completed
and they will rule parts a Texas
word they work the there was no great
deal with a work meeting have
electricity
the kids can go to school they had no
opportunity women jus in a ton to
downsize
but he wanted to help those guys in in
rural Texas
he's a god damn it I want this kid to
have an opportunity okay
he had an upside and that was upset that
was when we had partitions through all
the ups and downs
then generally looked out for us on the
domestic front
okay so yes there was a better time
right
and even in the 1990s I the the bill
clinton
was is in the large part a corporatist
he did a lot of positive things but in
the end
he'd negative yet great damage at the
very end
right repealing glass the oau slow to
the banking collapses
the Commodity Futures at NACA a
data that that led to the derivatives
gambling that led to the collapse of the
economy right and a deregulated
deregulated which by the way on
clinton's watch they deregulate the
media which allowed
yes giant conglomerates to take over
and a monopolize the media rate but but
the effect so that were felt later
in the nineteen nineties I remember
being in an
in the news department in Miami with bad
and every day at pick up back there was
a USA Today okay I pick up the USA today
but it also calls
cooke et like it was good news teen
pregnancy down poverty down
all these things right and then in 2000
thanks the rock trails and parks news in
the way that they
hoodwink the american people want the
making bush president when he didn't win
the ball
popular vote or the like rowboat a
beautiful regional Florida
we started down this path
in again to be fair its toll on the
clinton actually
okay but bush accelerated in and now
in the reason for it is it began its 76
or 78 when they said corporations
have first amendment rights and they can
spend money in politics
that's what nato points to that's what
like you viewed if you study into my god
i've studied it didn't know and right
I study to study this idea it all
changes
in 97 E not worry it's like that in
eighty
it stays in 78 when they pass Belotti
versus First National Bank a bus in this
is yes
corporations can spend money in politics
and Nader
unrelated to my research told me once in
but related in that i won research it
even more after he said this
I saw what happened had you run into a
brick wall in the late seventies what
happened said tony coelho
eighties the democrat in the house that
commenced
although the democrats now we can take
corporate money to
okay and that was the beginning you that
now we're close
to the end of that when they've taken
over everything in Jimmy's right doesn't
matter ninety percent of America's
aggressively
in all these will be a price to pay
right there in a price to pay
yet like you know who work or
politicians in 1957 of course there were
great
where they're going to big business
interested maybe illegally slip the
money
great of course there were right but
ninety percent of people why one so they
will lose the election
so they had to do it if ninety percent
were they didn't want to go to World War
one
right I mean it took a walk and we won
we were to be would get massacred grade
and but was unpopular so they couldn't
do it
now war isn't popular room cares
here dares because nobody cares whether
something's popular
the make it the reason we're it's not
the worst economic state we've ever been
in
so the worst our foreign policies ever
been in
but it's the worst are democracies ever
yet and
so in since with that that is rotten
that is run to score the virus has taken
over washington
there is until we solve that problem
there's no good news ahead
there's no light and the tunnel and
we're not turning the corner
that's while the state of the unions et
cetera are flowering bullshit yep
there if they were not there's not going
to be a magical year
we're always on the politicians go all
the way I get elected
is by sucking up to the donors I'm not
gonna do that this year
and they all decided in mass to be
mister smith goes to washington
that that's not how it works that's not
how the system at this point is built
you got to get the money out of politics
if you don't do that
yes it's the worst I've seen
unfortunately to get worse
every year well E he did
and quickly from Round Rock Obama did
not mention that yet so
that's a great point and I love you so
much
um move on did uphold their to
members okay so number seven was
implement Obamacare more they have the
top seven right
and in environmental issues were in
there for that anti-fracking et cetera
number one clearly was
get money out of politics okay and
President Obama
does not do one single
solitary thing your money out of
politics the number one concern to
progress
but if you told his administration had
to pick move on
who gives right absolutely right and he
benefits from the exact same system
I mean you get corporate money so why
would why would any politician
fight back against the system that they
take advantage up
right you know so look as I've said
before and you guys know that I
I care deeply about this issue and
that's why we sorta Wolfpack im
if you're interested in fighting back
toward dash back that comes the way to
do it
it like don't get confused I like all is
Jake saying this to support walk back
no no I circled back because we had to
solve this issue
it's the other way around at look I
spend another Saturday
certain Sunday night 9 o'clock the ten
o'clock at night when I was exhausted
I spent on a the phone with executive
director walk back
and and signing pictures from members a
walk back where they wanted that I did
that
exited over two and a half hours you
think I wanna spend my Sunday night
doing that I wonder why its HBO shows
but did as somebody asked me to walk in
new hampshire
like hey this seems like such a long
shot while you doing it
my answers what choice do we have your
two choices are
either you do you attempt this long shot
or
you give up any so there's no light at
the end of the tunnel
it's not going to get better an apple
cider but then I would pull the Blue
show around the new
then what's the point in doing the show
and tell me about what's happening in
the news
if the answer is nothing good ever going
to happen right
so so the
the reason I brought that up Anna is
because he talked about like the
politicians
yet be careful here let me and I on a a
positive note here
cuz yes the federal politicians this
system is
totally taken over and you can get a
loan Bernie Sanders here
or congressman sarbanes who fights
against this doesn't think super PAC
money
the decent honest guy itself right
um but on the state level
they're not corrupted I mean ok are the
corrupt politicians there of course of
course
did the Koch brothers takeover the
entire city kansas yes they did
it was like you know the bloody Kansas
kuhen
where they tour starts out there already
conserve republicans
and putting coke republicans would scare
the bejesus out of other republicans in
the country by the way
okay state leaders anyway um
but I was up in new hampshire too quick
stories
okay to tell you how uncorrupted some
state legislators are
it and how we have a hope the hope is
that
that the states can rescue us by calling
for convention
well we pass the amendment that I think
is
the bullet that would chains that mean
there's no magic bullets about
yeah actually got money out of politics
that is the one thing that affects
everything else that unplug the matrix
yeah okay so to no one was from maine
in May their public filings you know who
she is she sick
she works a catcher's okay literally
at a local girl grocery store who's this
this is a state representative in me
okay okay
really yet a.m. shows their public
financing
shoes like 0 so I just got a raise a.m.
I think she raced 50 bucks for five
people 250 bucks
and when you do that in the public
financing system they give you forty
five hundred dollars
which is enough to run you know small
district in May rate
some running for US Congress is running
for the District in her own state
she what can you imagine at the national
level
low the lady at your local Ralphs or
giant or whatever your local grocery
store is
take cash register lady running and
winning to be amazing
it can't happen at the national level
but it can happen at the state level
its if you have public financing she
just read 200 you know
boom and now that she's there they lower
and her
she still works the cash register and
her two sisters come up to her and
they're like hey Diane
Ekka help fix this is a go let me take a
moment to
the nation that by the way you're 17
hours and 28 yr okay
is not awesome is now a democracy is
supposed to be
great so can we can miss those people to
call for convention
yes yes I mean up government by the
people for the people
exactly I think the second one is in new
hampshire Tim Smith
is a rep a state representative you know
how much she spent to win his see
300 bucks really is not always an
amazing isn't it amazing
so we wouldn't have a stalker observed
him Smith in you like a way to get money
about this is of course I do
only restrained rose for my bus reso
your money above link
I and they recognize even if you've got
a republican
in the state level and we have in
indiana republicans introducing a
resolution
the amazing by the national level you
never get over but no
where the state level you go up to me
that's really happening
yeah absolutely think goto I'm Tiger
will test back to come get updates on
its
if you're in the what happen in the in
I'll Indiana and Iowa was
one person was like arms gonna call
simply have a new york so we we recently
hired
is amoco mall I'm gonna call the state
reps and Senators okay
will to power it doesn't take money it
just takes persistence
as Salim found someone who'd won their
election in New York
by seven boats okay and that was a
baller role
area so he comes in getting money at a
party is incredibly popular
in every district we get people to call
that
representative she says okay I'm she
says
okay now here's a person who could help
you she says up with possible political
contact
it to get the bill introduced and then
that person helpless upon Republicans
who might agree
for their own political reasons a near
desert like you never know
something or Eliza tried so anyway in
indiana
the we had a republican new is yes
Republican hey do you think
that outside or should be able to come
in
and influence you will like giving you a
time I like so for example
a Bloomberg should be able to she be
able to come in and give your opponent
all this money to run against you and
her on this
AP gone camping on or
paid herbert George Soros you want to
spend a lot of money in your district
in a gonna that's outrageous it's wrong
he's right that is averaged right was
appealed
really okay so bearing down on him at
the Koch brothers might want to spread
some money would
but little the Koch brothers that
audiences that's right they screw the
regular a supplement that
the republicans and they put in there
own
like owned and operated ripple yes right
right
so there's hope out there but we
President Obama said is not easy
we are aware that's the working really
hard to get okay
heart so that's my spiel and I'm
sticking with it
