so easily Democrats have been on the tag in scope rather scary reduce column on
American among different things there some even run ads against them
the reason for that is because the Koch brothers have already spent an
unprecedented
thirty million dollars on the 2014 campaigns
the election is in November expect the 30 million
in March and earlier I've never seen anything like that
now of course are when they're counter-attack to cope brothers
are up in arms ok how could you
we only spend thirty million dollars
and we've got hundreds of millions those backing that up trying to crush you all
across the country
I can't believe you would lay globe on me well sad day for you for the first
time ever democrats are on the attack so
Charles Koch decided that he was going to do an op-ed independent self
I think this is extraordinarily bad idea but I'm glad he did it because we will
point out
all the things that he says that are not true so he wrote in The Wall Street
Journal
funny how it's in the wall street journal didn't say that happen I
it was all in the past decade he says that I realize the need to also engage
in the political process I
all right now let me explain the reality to you guys I
Daniel Fisher wrote in forbes magazine so their revolution referring to the
Koch brothers
has been an evolution with roots going back happy a century
to coax first contributions the libertarian causes and Republican
candidates
in the mid-nineteen seventies their businesses
their business or changing minds got more formal when Charles
cofounded what became the cato institute the first major libertarian think tank
now but Charles Koch to I was just the
education business that was in politics we also found at the Heritage Foundation
which is massively political the biggest right we think tank there is
the Federalist Society in something called a Mercatus Center at George Mason
University
all these for fifty years and he comes on here like
we want the sole down there are those %uh right the other will be kato is too
so ponders another another whole value
so now he comes in said ok poor little me I just don't want to remove this
whole text thing because I'm so concerned about freedom and liberty
just ten years ago I did know was a rough sport like this
yeah I know I know you been basically trying to buy
politicians and do these think tanks for literally
hap century and golly gee you didn't know anything about what was going on so
he
continues about his earnest desire to help and if you're gonna wear
they have are their Charles named Coco are among the two richest people in the
world top 20
and they have I think over thirty billion dollars
apiece arguably together they form
the wealthiest person in right in the world and
but they might have some interest in lower taxes
their credit have some interest in deregulating their factories but
you know but it turns out no Liberty his interest in the mood to let me give you
more Charles Koch a truly free societies based on a vision a respect for people
and what they value in a truly free society any business that this respect
this customers will fail
and deserves to do so the same should be true
any government that disrespects its citizens now this is hilarious senior
John laughing about it because
here's a a guy who buys of the politicians
so that they will not listen to their citizens so he says look
I give you the money in you do what I tell you to do
in fact in Kansas at the state level there was concern republicans obviously
controlling the state legislature
and the but the problem was they were not loyal enough to the Koch brothers
the Koch brothers came in there and flooded Kansas with money
and at the state level it doesn't take that much and it to give you a sense of
context in 2012
they spent $400 million dollars that we know of
in that election cycle so they came to Kansas they got rid of the conservative
Republicans
and they put in Cocoa lawyers so the idea that he cares about
government representing its citizens is the most ironic thing you could hear
from a cobra
yeah so now 01 a
or little couple more court erases the more government rice control
the greater the disaster as shown by the current health care to Bach
interesting people point that out in his op-ed
cuz a earlier would care products or to you one other groups that they fun
the leader of that group temple upset we want to set an example with the health
care case
because they don't actually have any business involved in health care but
they said
what we want to make sure that there we saw the government fails
so they don't try anything climate change because the main business OPP
coke industries is energy oil and other things related to the oil industry and
gas industry
so they wanted to show oh you see health care was at a bar call
you don't want to govern regulating anything else like the energy industry
so this is one giant propaganda piece disguises and
law shocks all right now a
couple more here in serving QWERTY free and open debate he says collective us
try to discredit and intimidate opponents
being gauge in character assassination I should know
as the almost daily target over there attackers
poor guy really bad for yeah we ought to
a I wonder how he feels about 230 million dollars he spent doing character
assassination
although not only just that candidates in those particular races
but also President Obama Obama yeah I mean because the ads would say like
President Obama lied to us and then he
they would then have a oh I'm gonna die because a Obamacare took my plan to wear
it
and then they would of course show that's not the case about
particular woman in that story with the cancer whack should have gotten
lower payments through the new health care plan that she got would've been
better for her
and so think there's no one better burst in the
politics have character assassination the Koch brothers these have to be
outraged that is now
turned on them and in this case there are being attacked with falsehoods
very attack with no date are buying these politicians that's what specific
political attack ads are say
there say these republican politicians are funded in back
by the Koch brothers so understand was controlling them
so I know I have too many quotes you but these are all great it so you have to
you have to take it apart piece by piece show that they're too much at
everything this fall yet and is one giant port
he says such tactics are the antithesis what is required for free society
and a telltale sign that the collectivist do not have good answers
well if collectivist if people who do character assassination is the Cobras
have been doing for half a century basically
thats Koch brothers 101 shows that they do not have good answers
so interesting I maybe it's a tell what he thinks that his side like
yeah i cant really justify that I just wanna pay less taxes
and I want to be able to pollute into the rivers that I pollute into
I don't have any good answers are used by him off and that's what I do so I
assume they do the same thing
classic rejection I love it they feel the need to respond though I mean you
got a couple other statements that have Harry Reid
and you know this guy is insanely wealthy not just today but historically
is wealthier than the ancient members of the world
but he's still a person and it hurts them and he
you know in in his mind probably think that you know what I'm doing is probably
great for the average american it is actually
improving the economy and in his defense I don't know that what he's doing is
necessarily
un-american I think that there's a pretty long and proud tradition in
america
wealthy industrialist stepping on the poor and buying our politicians
so it's nothing new that the cokes have pioneered or anything like that
it's not new at all it's just that and it's supported by law
on porcelain that's what has to change you not gonna change people like the
Koch brothers and and and other time that was
they're not gonna change them they're not to listen to the criticism and said
hey are maybe Azera years to poisonous op-ed
season one is what John said it if they don't wake up thinking they're evil look
in the mirror every morning removal are right
know the happy just by themselves you live with themselves right or not
100 percent evil eye or dinner so like the
they do give a decent amount of money to cancer research I recently were
realize why who is that their whole family is his trip cancer
so it affects them so I will let's solve it when it's all good just love saying
that's convenient for them and they also do give to the army they're very you can
argue with their philanthropy it with it's the stuff that they do
with the rest of their money that you can get upset about it so I
and endless summer most wealthy people not donald Trump
are quite philanthropic and thank goodness because we have
so much what we have because the full interview the wealthy but these people
will trade their philanthropy if they just get rid what they're doing to hurt
the country yeah I just have to make a really quick point about what he said
about
a you know the Koch brothers being involved in education and initially and
then it just kind of spiraled out of control of a sudden they found
themselves in politics
their involvement in education was strictly to indoctrinate
okay so if you look at the finding that they put into science research
it's about paying off so-called scientists to publish
so-called studies where they say that hey you know what climate change is not
man-made
or you know a mining for coal or drilling for oil doesn't need to
a and environmental disaster so that's what it's really about and they funnel
money universities
science programs in public universities in order to
basically indoctrinate those students and they'll say no we have no influence
but not buying it
why would the Koch brothers all this and be interested in funding entire
departments abuse University in any case that comes with strings attached
yeah only hot yet so it's not a hypothesis it we've covered stories
where they said no no
not that Professor run that one meaning one that is friendly to us is that
they're interested in science
it's just that they're interested in buying of some scientists so they can
have to be near
science backing them up when they go to do their pollution et cetera
rate look these guys gotta live with themselves
in so for example there the way that they made their money
the coke family in the first place now they grew that money in other ways right
but they're father Fred Koch literally made his fortune
from a contract to go out with stop okay
let's not a conspiracy theory is that have been a new world order thing it's
in every bio graphy above the Koch family
and so did he felt terrible about it and style actually apparently killed
a bunch of the people that he worked with that were russians right now
after he left but he didn't return the money or anything in return to the
russian people he didn't return to American Beauty he kept it
and with that vast fortune
is with the Koch brothers then built into an even bigger fortune
so they've got a lot to him you know is certainly proud cockpit had guilt about
them
how they made one in the first place and that's why he he pounded
the John Birch Society which is a massively right-wing think
like a good guy okay I made on my money from selling but
hyper the John Birch Society okay these pork ok this
Koch family though they've never been political shows the last 10 years
okay so any says here is my favorite was the most disingenuous
about one-third of our us-based employees are union members
yeah or no way too in a way to it now you bragging about that
if if the Koch brothers are known for anything is for being
anti-union they in fact purchase Scott Walker big
owner Wisconsin and we know because there's a fee call from David Koch
play so Walker walkers like yes so what can I do for you sir
when he bought it was actually David Koch is a go I know I'm time try to
crush the Union
you see that response rate and so they load Walker
because it was part of their overall half a century strategy
love you whittle down the Union because then you have less %um people working
for you
you pay them lower wages in you make more money so for him to come out here
and bragged a third was workers are you you know when he's been trying to hammer
that number down
any would love court to be zero when we know that
it shows you how disingenuous here's and what a liar here's
in maybe then to the court with for now
I and of course the second reason that to do this editorial
is to impose the media yet so the media will say
well the democrats say this but Charles Koch says that right
okay so that work in yeah and so they can call a 50-50
