JANE MAYER IS ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED JOURNALISTS IN
THE COUNTRY.
SHE HAS A NEW BOOK OUT CALLED DARK MONEY.
IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE KOCH BROTHERS, BUT ABOUT
CONSERVATIVE DONORS AND WHAT IT IS THEY ARE LOOKING FOR.
INSIDE THE BOOK IS SOME INTERESTING REVELATIONS
ABOUT THE KOCH BROTHERS.
THEIR FATHER, FRED KOCH, ORIGINALLY BUILT ñ
IN THE PAST WE HAVE TOLD YOU WE KNEW FRED KOCH HAD BUILT A
TON OF MONEY BY BUILDING REFINERIES FOR JOSEPH STALIN.
THEN HE COMES BACK HOME AND FELT GUILTY ABOUT IT.
LET'S GET TO THE NAZIS IN A SECOND.
CHARLES KOCH RECENTLY DID AN INTERVIEW.
THEY CAN CLAIM THAT AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS IN THEIR
MINDS, BUT WE DO KNOW WHAT IS ON PAPER.
YOU ARE WORKING TO SPECIFICALLY GET REGULATIONS OF RETURNS
THAT RELATE TO THEIR COMPANIES.
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS FREEDOM.
THE REGULATIONS THEY DON'T POLLUTE AS AN EXAMPLE.
KOCH BROTHERS ARE LIKE WOW, THAT COST ME AN EXTRA BUCK OR
TWO, HOW ABOUT I BUY THOSE POLITICIANS AND THEY GET
RID OF THAT REGULATION?
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS FREEDOM.
OF COURSE THE THING THAT UNITES ALL THESE DIFFERENT ROBBER
BARONS IS THEIR THIRST FOR CUTTING YOUR TAXES.
THAT IS THEIR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY AND IF YOU HAVE
EVER SEEN A REPUBLICAN TALK YOU KNOW THAT IS THEIR NUMBER
ONE PRIORITY.
AMAZING DETAILS IN THE BOOK, YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT.
SO, SHE HAD AN INTERNAL SOURCE THAT WORKED AT THE KOCH
BROTHERS.
WELL, THEY GO ALONG WITH IT.
SO, THE KOCH BROTHERS THEN BECOME EVEN MORE POWERFUL
BECAUSE THEY USE OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY TO FIGHT THINGS THAT
WOULD PROTECT AMERICANS IN THEIR HOMES.
SO, THAT SHOWS TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
HOW CLOSELY LINKED THEY ARE TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
WHY DO THEY CARE ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY?
THEIR GREED IS INFINITE.
THE RELATIVELY SMALL AMOUNT THEY USED BY POLITICIANS IS
NOTHING COMPARED TO THE BILLIONS THEY ARE GETTING IN TAX
BREAKS, LET ALONE THE MONEY THEY SAVE FROM THE DEREGULATION.
BUT ON TOP OF THAT THEY SAY OH, WE HAVE TO SHIFT THE BURDEN
ONTO SOMEBODY.
TAKE AVERAGE AMERICANS THAT ARE RELYING ON SOCIAL SECURITY
AND STEAL THAT MONEY AND USE IT TO GIVE ME MORE TAX CUTS.
TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF HOW MUCH INFLUENCE THEY HAD WITH THE
PREVIOUS SPEAKER, JOHN BOEHNER, LET'S GO TO THIS PART.
JOHN BOEHNER IS THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, THE MOST
IMPORTANT AND POWERFUL PERSON IN THE HOUSE.
WHEN HE GOES TO RESOLVE A GOVERNMENTAL ISSUE, HE
DOESN'T GO TO FELLOW LEGISLATORS OR THE SENATE WITH THE
PRESIDENT, HE GOES TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY IN CHARGE.
USE THE KOCH BROTHERS AND SAYS I NEED YOUR HELP.
THAT IS SO EMBARRASSING FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
THIS IS WHAT IT HAS DEVOLVED TO.
THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY.
THESE OLIGARCHS RUN THE PLACE.
NOW, WE GO TO HOW THEY MADE MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
CLASSY GUYS.
THE TWO MAIN BROTHERS ARE CHARLES AND DAVID.
TO DO THAT TO THEIR OWN BROTHER, WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY ARE
GOING TO DO TO YOU?
I'M SURE WHAT THEY DID TO THEIR BROTHER WAS IN THE CAUSE OF
FREEDOM.
NOW WE GO TO THE PAST.
AT ONE POINT DAVID KOCH JOKED AROUND ABOUT WHERE THEY GOT
THEIR MONEY.
HE GAVE A SPEECH WHERE HE EXPLAINED THAT THEY WORKED
REALLY HARD, AND THEN THEIR DAD GAVE THEM $400 MILLION.
WHERE DID HE GET THAT MONEY?
PARTLY FROM STALIN, THAT WE ALREADY KNEW.
NOW IT REVEALS HE GOT SOME OF IT FROM HITLER.
HOW REPULSIVE IS IT?
THEIR MONEY ORIGINALLY CAME FROM STALIN AND HITLER.
ONE MORE PIECE OF EVIDENCE HERE.
SO, IT'S ACTUALLY WORSE THAN YOU SUSPECTED.
THEY MADE THEIR MONEY BY BUILDING HITLER'S WAR
MACHINE THAT THEN KILLED SO MANY OF OUR SOLDIERS.
ALL THOSE FAMILIES DIED AS THE KOCH FAMILY MADE MONEY.
YES, U.S.
SOLDIERS KILLED IN THAT HITLER WAR MACHINE PARTLY BUILT BY
THE KOCH'S.
THEY THEN BRING THAT FAMILY MONEY HOME AND KILL OUR
DEMOCRACY AT HOME.
LOOK, THE KOCH BROTHERS CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH
THEIR ILL-GOTTEN GAINS.
THESE GUYS ARE THIEVES, ROBBER BARONS.
DO THEY WORK HARD?
I GUESS AT SOME POINT THEY DID.
BUT THEY DIDN'T ALWAYS DO IT IN THE MOST KOSHER WAY.
IT IS A DIFFERENT THING ALTOGETHER IF YOU TAKE THE
MONEY AND YOU PULVERIZE OUR DEMOCRACY.
THEY LEGALIZED BRIBERY.
THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR DECADES.
THE KOCH BROTHERS HAVE BEEN POURING MONEY INTO ALMOST
ALL THAT MAJOR CONSERVATIVE THINK TANKS THAT YOU KNOW OF.
THERE WAS NO THINKING GOING ON THERE.
IT IS ALL AN EFFORT TO SUPPORT THE KOCH INDUSTRIES.
SO, THEY BUILT A SYSTEM IN WHICH SHE COULD LEGALLY BRIBED
POLITICIANS, THEN THEY USE THAT SYSTEM TO BRIBE ALMOST ALL
OF OUR POLITICIANS.
THEY HAVE THOROUGHLY DESTROYED OUR DEMOCRACY.
HOW DO YOU FIGHT BACK?
YOU FIGHT BACK BY FIXING THE SYSTEM, AT A MINIMUM WE
HAVE TO STOP THESE GUYS WHO ARE CONTINUING TO BUY OFF OUR
POLITICIANS.
THE WAY WE DO THAT IS BY SAYING WE DON'T RUN CAMPAIGNS ON
PRIVATE MONEY ANYMORE.
OF COURSE THEY ARE GOING TO DO THAT IF YOU ALLOW THEM.
NO, YOU PASS AN AMENDMENT AND GO ABOVE THE HEAD OF THE
SUPREME COURT.
YOU DON'T GET TO BUY OUR POLITICIANS ANYMORE.
WE ARE GOING TO GET ALL THE MONEY OUT OF POLITICS.
IT IS NOT SPEECH CORPORATIONS.
HUMAN BEINGS DO NOT HAVE SPEECH RIGHTS.
YOU DON'T GET TO PUT ALL YOUR MONEY AND SAY I AM JUST TALKING.
NO, IT IS A BRIBE.
WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT IN THE CONSTITUTION SAID THERE IS
NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
28TH AMENDMENT, GET UP, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT BACK.
IF YOU CAN'T FIGHT BACK AGAINST THIS, WHAT KIND OF PATRIOT
ARE YOU?
WHETHER YOU ARE CONSERVATIVE, LIBERTARIAN,
CONSERVATIVE, DOESN'T MATTER, IF YOU ARE A PATRIOT AND YOU
LOVE THIS COUNTRY YOU FIGHT FOR FREEDOM RIGHT HERE.
AND YOU DO IT BY GETTING MONEY OUT OF POLITICS.
THE WAY WE ARE DOING IT IS WOLF-PAC.COM.
WE ARE NOT MESSING AROUND.
WE ARE GOING TO GET THE AMENDMENT, WE ARE IN THE
MIDDLE OF IT.
WE'RE ALREADY WINNING.
THESE SONS OF BITCHES CAME AT US IN NEW JERSEY.
WE ARE GOING STATE-BY-STATE CALLING FOR A CONVENTION TO
GET OUT AN AMENDMENT.
PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON HATE IT.
WE HAVE A REAL AMENDMENT AND ARE GETTING IT ACTUALLY DONE.
ALL OF A SUDDEN THE KOCH
BROTHERS SHOW UP
IN NEW JERSEY.
THEY TOLD STATE LEGISLATURES TO
NOT LISTEN TO THESE
WOLF-PAC GUYS.
GUESS WHAT?
WE ROUTED THEM IN NEW JERSEY.
THEY HAVE THIS AURA OF INVINCIBILITY.
WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF WINNING NOW.
COME FEEL THE POWER, JOIN US, WOLF-PAC.COM.
IT IS GOING TO BE GREAT WHEN WE GET OUR DEMOCRACY.
COME WITH ME,
LET'S GO GET IT BACK.
