and welcome back Paul in South Lyon Michigan you are
on the air with senator centers yesterday gentlemen
our thanks for all your hard work center including staying up all night
are three weeks ago today you and i discussed on this show
the Koch brothers another selfish billionaires owning and controlling the
Republican Party
five days later Harry Reid thankfully incorrectly
started talking about it coincidence I don't know my point is are there will be
zero progress made on any issue until the american people wake up
involved are all up to do nothing republicans virtually all a public
republicans
agree on major issues they're all against raising the minimum wage
paying veterans benefits unemployment insurance food stamps
they're all just a woman's right to choose and raising taxes on millionaires
is a true center that they're all up in person called your
you're absolutely right you're absolutely right and by the way
up what Paul or is mentioning is and of was last week or
early this week other Majority Leader Harry Reid
one on the floor and he gave a brilliant speech talking about the Koch brothers a
by the way
if you go to my website you'll find that speech is what we set out to a large
audience because I thought it was such a good speech
what I want to take a minute to deal with polls
question because it is the norm asleep important
the way the republicans gain influence
in win elections is simply because many many americans
do not understand what they stand for and how
White Queen right-wing extremists they all this
is not the Republican Party up Dwight D
eyes are now it is not the Republican Party richard nixon
in terms of policy not the republican party even
of one already this is now a party is Paul
indicated heavily controlled by right-wing extremists billionaires like
the Koch brothers
and let me just took off what these people believe it
these people believe that retirement security
Social Security should not be done by the federal government they want to
privatize it
or at the least make massive cuts in social security
they do not want the federal government involved
in medicare they think we should privatize Medicare or at the very least
make major cuts in medicaid care make major cuts
in medicaid these people and particularly are the Koch brothers
who have made mostly their money in fossil fuels
they want to abolish agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency
so they can pollute as much as they can
with impunity these guys do not
not only do they not want to raise the minimum wage
which is now AA an abysmally low seven and a quarter now we want to raise it to
ten 10 an hour
they want to abolish the concept above the minimum wage
in other words if in high unemployment areas desperate people
of what's the work for three or four bucks an hour for them that is freedom
their understanding of freedom
is that you abolish every major piece of legislation
past in last eighty years which protect working families on the middle class
which protect the elderly
the children the sick wellbore that is their understanding of freedom
so if you are seventy years have a junior diagnosed with cancer and you
have no money and you have no health insurance
Hey You of three you don't have medicare
you don't have social security your 8 free parson
free to dogged and that is how they look
at the world what their ideology
