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... 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
