Oh wow! I see Zypher Teachout being interviewed on some of my favorite shows, but I didn’t know she’d ran for office before. We need more of her and more like her!

this is amazing! thank you for the incredible work mr. moyers!

don't forget. A satirical quote from the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies sets the tone of the new world order. The power hungry villain in the movie, Elliot Carver, who is a media mogul bent upon world domination, said that “Caesar had his legions, Napoleon had his armies, I have my divisions; TV, news, magazines, and by midnight tonight I’ll have reached and influenced more people than anybody in the history of this planet, save God himself.”

the whole idea of America is fading down with the passage of time. "No taxation without representation" is a slogan originating during the 1750s and 1760s that summarized a primary grievance of the British colonists in the Thirteen Colonies, which was one of the major causes of the American Revolution.

Makes me sad when I look at the number of views. This video is almost 6 yrs old. :/

I would be interested in running. I have ideas and energy. Shouldn't that be enough to be heard.

I want to hear what they have to say today

This is not business as usual. Today most businesses, global, national or local are parts of some huge corporation that has branches and tons of money devoted to manipulating whatever form of government it comes up against. All coffeehouses are Starbucks, all restaurants are TacoBell, all gas stations are Shell, ... OK maybe not ALL, but most companies are not locally owned and almost none are Mom and Pop - and if they were the corporations would be telling them how to dance like McDonalds tells chicken farmers how to raise their chickens. Everyone is now a corporate employee and dependent on this system to some extent. There is little news, there is less almost no discussion anymore. When I was a kid the radio dials, both AM & FM were crammed full of talk shows. Not just the right-wing nut or radio preacher talk shows, all kinds of viewpoints. Now they have talk shows, but the dicussion never gets deep because the calls are 3 minutes, and then 7 minutes of commercials, weather, supposed public service and fake news. Our whole culture which began to evolve with technology has been wiped out and now Facebook, Google and other Internet companies get to make us join their culture with no input at all. No, it't not business as usual.
