gran
probably more on the line we are partnering with robert in this new
projects that are poor program
all my love there's
andrew's arrival will be joining us often for updates on
the one-percent robber welcome to the program welcome back to the program bank
account of its great to be partnering with you and all of your incredible
listeners in activist
the viewers thank you and i let me just let the coupley or else out here you
first while you were the producer director political activist and founder
and president brave new films pretty foundation dot org but this is we erases
the who
are as they are e who are the one-percent dot com is the website for
this particular action that that would that work elaborate or that you're
working on and i'm trying to support
tell us who are the one percent and what are you doing with this well what we we
all of course common you've been talking about it wonderful fractionally below
pitted spire that encouraged by the act apart hope
so a lot of that poem that week that that brave new foundation which i did
think about how can we be helpful what not be dot
but we realize that what is not being done and looted place to our skills etc
is to identify who actually are the one percent who are those people with
more wealth and more power and are using that wealth and power to keep there'll
be other baby died percent
kubeck just about money it's how you use the money and what you're doing with it
and we felt that
it was uh... helpful and also important waves of the people can begin to
understand wat are that one percent doing how did they make their money in
the wealth we're going to have a continued voting about what is the
dirtiest deed that they've done
and ultimately a identified the dirty dozen if you will
for narrow we've been having a great outpouring already this morning with
people making suggestions and explaining
is that the wall the reciprocal clear is that uh... the head of the bank of
america the
you know the names are flying in and sadly
there's a very uh... as you can imagine long lists to choose from right and then
the defense contractors you've done a piece on that too
yet because our clinic thank you the uh...
the defense contractors who pretended maybe this is among the most discussed
the an outrageous pretending that it's about jobs and really what it's about
his
men primarily men making ghetto twenty thirty thirty five million dollars a
year and salary stock bonuses um... because that's what their focus is that
these uh... at people large war profiteering company which makes way up
there
right which makes them the top one px one hundred of one person
at this time you know it's really mind-boggling predicted you know it
really isn't
i've been reading up on this prominent only notice of course but
there was a while ago when who bought property ring it was a question i think
i was said and they were halcion's senate investigation should anybody be
allowed to property the war without only has backed gawd what now rewarding peace
profiteers and we hope that we believe in the one-percent campaign but we will
call them out yeah and and just give you the in fact yours with franklin
roosevelt had to say about this
uh... pet and emergency so i don't want any sense of decency negative narrative
the dinner
uh...
now rover
when win-win f_d_r_ said that in in nineteen forty eight he was forty-one
uh... and harry truman actually started a commission as a senator to to uh...
the look into you know who is profiting off the war
there was a broad american consensus that yes we got a lot more millionaires
now these guys they live in lavish mansion
unless they consider the height of society hide their as their you know
that it peoplepower scrapers they walk into restaurants uni-y has happened in
america how of wheat how we turn into a nation the worships the one-percent when
we used to be a nation looked at the one percent still beaches on the back of
body fat the body politic in society
well i think we want to bring a campaign that participate but you could bring the
leaking spektr
i think therefore stopped all that so i'm doing the residue properly two
what happened but with the propaganda experience simple
the one percent of the spend an enormous amount of behind the energy and money
and convincing up in a multitude of ways
that they are indeed have our self-interest it which of course they
dealt and end the war profiteers being just about obvious
outrageously sample
has bear
that people would have ended with a big send-off to die in people know crimes of
countries are dying these people are profiting at up seem levels
and are trying to convince isn't the only thing they care about
uh... is more security we saw it will put the bankers we see it with wall
street
and they are using
the media they're using their position in society had their playing on people's
uh... some level of envy to try to convinced us that these are tiaa these
are the idols but
i think what we all have stra wonderful
reason to think they occupy folks for helping change the proper station
and putting a spotlight on the spokesman that's what we're trying to do
with the help of you and your partnership on the who were the one
percent two people really start to think wait a minute
who are they
how are they screwing me what are they doing with their money
and this is how the system works and who are the one percent dot com is the
website we're talking with robert greenwald the producer director
political access robert omg
home
old enough to remember partition admit the seller here but i'm all doctor
herbert when jimmy carter was inaugurated and he walked to the white
house for his inauguration and was a very low key event and
their wealth was not celebrated and throughout his presidency not only was
well that celebrated but thrift inferred ality were promoted you turn on the
thermostat wear sweaters things like that reagan came into office
strip the limousine to is to his uh...
uh... you know birds were his inauguration balls um... i remember the
headlines in in the newspaper
herb you where i was looking at the time saying words to the effect of glitz
glamour well are back in fashion with the reagan administration and you know
within a year or two we had movies you know like wall street's angry is good
then you had the and uh... you know made a reagan suspending the uh... sherman
antitrust act so the mergers and acquisition mania began dropping a top
tax rate from seventy four percent on the twenty eight percent of millionaires
billionaires
and it seems like that was the turning point in america
when we stopped
viewing the riches leeches and started feeling them as teens and it seems like
there's a train
back now
with the who are the one percent dot com with the work you're doing but would you
would you identify that timeline or do you do you see something different than
that we have left here
so i i agree with you i think that would be provided it's also a strong argument
from a proper way that narratives work you know what to do the law was passed
saying the richer king it was that the narrative became too except about what
you and that's one of the reasons
that the occupy people on the ground and the social media racial point you know
i'm using my twitter account like crazy to help get these ideas that
and of course face book has been incredible for occupy were also using it
for
who were the one percent and uh... you know what i know you've been using the
practically because its
on the ground in on line in the two together right
give us the ability to begin to fight back on the king's and the lords and the
one-percent yeah and
to change their big backward which is what we all could do
anybody some criticism well the occupied people don't have a standpoint plants
tampa for put this particular period of time
for the well we have the house the senate and the presidency the democrat
absolutely and and may have continued robert greenwald the website who
the one still not only who are the one percent dot com check it out right now
it's fabulous robert thank you so much for being with us today for the group
