every flooded are
if they are all that there
uh... indians
what they will be our debt
all right of course the marching up and now as on date approximately one billion
stations x
and a document like this approximately and andy's latest book is breaking the
sound barrier so let's talk about that in new york what what's the book about
well it saturday night but the power of the total after your tie wet radha
weekly column and that it appeared in newspapers around the country but it
covered the last three years but it's been going on
in this country and around the world
beginning with the issue of more moving on to global warming avenue from the
unreported world
health care the economic global meltdown
but what it looked that is you know there's a story of it highlights like we
do on democracy now
the voices of people who are often the target for the policies that are not
often heard and i would say that the most of us
you know that i think overall the media
i take out that majority of people giving voice to minority elite and it's
about time to change
you were just mentioning about accountant ambassador i can vary
the reason the debate changes that when those in washington over an ambassador
like i can vary
raises these critical issues and the media opened up a bit
but in general it's section narrow
spectrum of the debate that the media prima tech's 'cause often the democrats
or republicans
don't get hurt that much though these days under obama humne
yes their you know
warning in washington but the spectrum of what they want to
you really have to look at that like the health care example of the idea that the
that single-payer that there is a guaranteed rate of health care in this
country dot to the table
integrated
that kitty one of the options and people debate it you can reach acted adequately
not
italy's shock to me of course we mean when
we talk about it most people think there should be a military that the government
support they don't fit at the socialist military
but the government post support for military really until they shouldn't be
public education in america so everyone at least have that option
so that they shouldn't be firefighters who were
policeman you so why shouldn't healthcare fall into that realm like it
does in the rest of the industrialized world
and whatever your view is that i don't care someone is absolute private health
insurance if he can afford it ok fine drowned lead and if you can go bucky
by clear that the media doesn't open up the discussion around the city
well i think complaining about the social spire department for a long time
haha
i wrote about those three years ago saying i you know i can't stand he says
i wasn't going to rescue everybody out come on and what your connie's alright
so any in today's good day today for your good news because saddam allude
ought to step down and as c_n_n_ put out a statement about their new increment
time side john king and they say but he's going to step outside of the
beltway and represent the american people
fascinating adam at painewebber stepped outside of the kingdom
now this looks like
name of let me ask you interval leading question here has that been your
experience with what c_n_n_ has to do it
i mean and not get ready for the rest of the network that the problem it we got a
won't like that they're trying to break the sound barrier
we've got to really open up to what the people in this country are experiencing
a mean you have
the number of foreclosures unprecedented dad
you know even when you look at what happened at fort hood catastrophes and
that's killing and president obama guru isn't he
addresses the community there
you know that
every month ronnie average eve ten suicide
at fort hood i mean
from january to july the company like seventy-six like
every few days another person killed himself there and then i think you know
we interviewed a couple in indianapolis the key feelings and their son chance
catholic peace sign went within the military persecutors went to a rock came
back didn't want to go back which are really struggling with the marriage fell
apart
and they offered him a lot of money direct attorney says no he's trying to
put his life together but then you know he basically got drafted to due to the
reserve she had to go we win any committed suicide when he went back
and now they're waiting a letter of war condolence when president obama day feel
like there's some serve their country and
they're not getting it because the president is not fine
letters of condolence to families who lost loved ones in the war the as a
result of suicide and i think we have to hear these places hero what people are
struggling with the trim
working with the pressure on the military
in this country servicemen and women we've got a really in the media show up
if the pain is all about
are millions of these stories the problem
isn't finding the stories the problem isn't that it'd probably that the media
doesn't want to find the store
and so you know i i think i sent out a little bit here because
you know we get what fox amuses doing obviously right ann and i think msnbc's
prime-time programming is that good counterweight add to that some degree
of a c_n_n_ claims they're the most trusted name in news and that they
played down the middle but
once less than the broke a story
with you know
and so that's the question of
why don't they do the story so what do you think is that
the base problem with the media that they don't actually
cover
the news going on across the country and echo chamber for the establishment why
we need i'm indebted muted
you know that
you know the problem of reporters and edited the military in the front lines
of troops in iraq afghanistan everything these reporters are brave but what do
you get when you are
they are sleeping with the true proceeding with the true but you know if
you'd like this in their hands you're covering the war from the trigger end of
the gun law
i well as journalists also to be there at the target and what did that feel
like to be in a rocky hospital in an afghan community
them to be in pakistan twenty drone is dropping the bomb
on you you know if attacking
that where it not suppose to be circling wagons around the president we are
supposed to be independent there's a reason why a perfectionist explicitly
protected by the constitution the only one that institute which appears to be
the check-and-balance on power
that's where the hope is it with
journalist being
independent and
letting people know what
other casablanca outside that small circle of pundits in washington that we
want to chattering away and all these networks who knows so little about so
much
explain the world to lessen getting its overall that
many of the system's broken it's not just a matter of it
it's not a matter of a couple guys who've made wrong decisions here whether
it's leadership of c_n_n_ or whoever else it might be it's at the
system doesn't want to know those stories those in
and the question becomes y
what why don't they want is a matter of their sponsors
is it a matter of
it'll what what is it in europe it
yeah i think a candidate and check in and that in
power really that can be broken down into
those in washington d_c_ right header
politicians and their you know across the aisle both the democrats and
republicans
that the corporations it
wif dem
john perkins economic it meant growth the corporate tax christy
and it's not that big sit down you know in a room and they work out what will be
and said and what we won't be with only to our heads of corporations in the
politicians in washington opentype that
it's really just sharing of
old feel with the kind of a dabble shipment confirmed
you know when the head of cooperation growth the head of the ordinary or cop
in complains about the story you gave up and walmart for example
into the head of your network is going to lengthen to the c_e_o_ of wal-mart if
there's a complaint
and pat worker who wrap it didn't get healthcare or wedlock in overnight at
hold up a lucky if you pat
an operator how you know making that phone call and i think it's a little
these journal at the network if you're surrounded by who they enter to route to
advertisers are depicted and jeffrey advertise yours
but i do think we need it networks in this country
they're not brought to us by the war manufacturers not director left by the
insurance industry not participate in food processors are big pharma
dr listeners and viewers who just deeply care about what's going on in the world
and they want a independent perspective
all right now looks like they returned to or bomber were trying to amy goodman
says of course the host of democracy now
and author of her new book breaking the sound barrier
a lot of people of course have high hopes to and uh... president obama
i was sworn in
and
but despite the fursat general sense of
from u of
so far are you disappointed are you encouraged somewhere in the middle
and i mean i think it's a veteran separation
living up in the promises that have been more than that it's not about one
individual you know we are a year after the election
immersed in these two wars
president obama is about to
be awarded the nobel peace prize
enough low that same time he could be announcing a surge in afghanistan the
woman see what happens there
there's the global warming
comment there's uh...
because macabre
copenhagen climate change conference taking place uh... we're going to be you
know in december
which it could be one of the most important diplomatic sabbath and world
history president obama to rewrite their enough low if you could come over
to really you know if it was a powerful person on earth to really
scientific art light of what's happening to show how important that is
dvds are critical
and
but ultimately i don't think it's about one person in the white house you know
the community organizer and she has become the
commander and chief
and what matters now is a little fills that role i'm talking that many people
in movement this community organizers i think the door has opened crack
but the question is will it be kicked open or slammed shocked
and that's not afternoon the occupant of the white house it's up to people all
over this country who deeply care about
where we're going
what one more url
question along those lines you know what the fat
probably the thing that i am most one about in no bomb industries and i think
is also great things and i think
that she is a world of difference to democrats republicans
although they're part of the same system
i think that system is still broken
i still think there's a difference it indy greener but the part that i'm most
four by is the financial
reform packages that have been proposed
because
that's the real power
and it appears that there's not a real frontal
assault on that our challenge of that as we were promised
he seems to have picked
new democrats
most responsible never bring this financial crisis in the first place
with the possible exception of course of bob rubin that's indictment summers
why do you think you guy who campaigned on change
comes then and brings us
so little change
and one of the most important issues
like that issue
amin at the very good question blood surrounding it now who
by those representatives of goldman sachs you know one person after another
for the company itself mum
or glued to their you know very much tied to it anything else at the same
question of the insurance industry had a bill that's been passed by the house
and that's being looked at by the fact that we had steppenwolf sampler into box
now she says doctor from harvard
we just did a study that all my god it's just amazing just on the issue of death
full-blown that something like two twenty two hundred of veterans of
have died in two thousand eight because they were i mean she story-telling
that's just astounding in the idea that in the fame way
the government is bailed out there
financial instituted by goldman sachs and the others
and the bank
basically that the bill is a bailout with the insurance industry they are
doing better now if that bill becomes law
than they did before
that that is what you feel incredible for they become noises complaining to
make it sound like you know cabaret off the bat
they're actually doing better as we all
it'll it's that's great second felt that capital right after the property
and why he dances well
i think it's complex
utenti regional deeply entrenched in the establishment
well for the two thousand have elections are coming up
and elections that are run by money
look i'm talking to you from new york city who just wanted to mayor here mayor
bloomberg he spent more money than any candidate in the history of this country
outside a presidential race with a hundred million dollars a shaft
barely one
did a billionaire
andy actually spent way more than that
because he spent traveling well over a hundred million dollars
just giving money to not to drop it
over the past years
that you know neutralize them so that they don't freak out and fail
to actually be established even to make that they thought he was going to be
alone flight
but one sec
money determine food still so much in this country let's not forget that you
haven't had elections around the corner and i think that's a part of the answer
to your question right in the bombing closed
always election around the corner
and fan
and and the democrats always use earlier as an excuse
to not do what they promised that plank in the last election had to clean
elections you have to take the money out of election patient be determining who
ran
is so you think what would financing of elections at my today but i am or not
lambchop
***
because it is not uh...
you he did it private corporations that fund them or you get you know
billionaire mentor people kolkata more to do with the pope
corporations and valves
and what happens in our tab listeners the people who pays or something is
are the people were the bosses
and so if they pay for the politicians they own the politicians than and that's
the number one problem in my opinion amy goodman is the great argue the book is
called a breaking the sound barrier every check it out will put up of course
on our young turks library on the efforts dot thomas will soon get it from
their pet care picking up the paper check out our web i could not be
prepared at or about a month or starting tomorrow through california
but then you look back at the washington state oregon that over the body in candy
in philadelphia new york of the people that just check out there
stop at the market right now dot org
