happened in nine months. and what has happened is, i think, the american people have responded to a series of basic truths. and that is that we have today a campaign finance system which is corrupt, which is undermining american democracy, which allows wall street and billionaires to pour huge sums of money into the political process to elect the candidates of their choice. and aligned with the corrupt campaign finance system is a rigged economy. and that's an economy where ordinary americans are working longer hours for lower wages, they are worried to death about the future of their kids, and yet they are seeing almost all new income and all new wealth going to the top 1 percent. and that in addition to that, the american people are looking around and they see a broken criminal justice system. they see more people in jail in the united states of america than any other country on earth, 2.2 million. we're spending $80 billion a year locking up fellow americans. they see kids getting arrested for marijuana, getting in prison, getting a criminal record, while they see executives on w

you have african american poverty rates of 35%. when you have youth unemployment at 51%, when you have unbelievable rates of incarceration, which by the way, leaves the children back home without a dad or even a mother, clearly, we are looking at institutional racism. we are looking at an economy in which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. and sadly in america today, this our economy, a whole lot of those poor people are african american. >> while hillary clinton noted that the debate venue was one of america's most racially divided cities. she name checked the local man killed by police and while she largely agreed with sanders economic case she ended up delivering a broader more nuanced view of systemic racism. >> we have to restore policing that will actually protect the communities that police officers are sworn to protect. and then we have to go after sentencing. and that's one of the problems here in wisconsin because so much of what happens in the, justice system doesn't happen at the federal level, it happens at the state and local level. >> hillary clinton embra

think that is what bernie is saying. if the american people really want change -- i think they do. i think bernie sanders and donald trump have tapped into something very real, that the political establishment and media establishment missed. and i know, the latest talking point of the clinton campaign is, bernie is just angry, and you just don't get anywhere by being angry. i don't think he's angry so much as determined. but the american people are angry, angry that they had been left out, and the system has been rigged against them, and it has been that way for 40 years and no one has done anything about it. so what bernie is saying, bernie recognizes, and he is a realist, he has been in the house for 16 years. he recognizes the difficulties. he thinks that is his agenda, and if he can rally the american people to turn out and elect people to go along with him, or put pressure on the others to say we have to right this ship, we can get it done. but bernie would also raise taxes on the middle class, which he has been honest about. brian: how many years have you been in washington now

tools that are necessary to defend american manufacturers from foreign currency manipulation. this bill was put -- the language to confront currency cheating that the treasury department acknowledges is occurring but they have refused to take action to confront it, and it would have required that where this kind of currency manipulation occurs, that action be taken to fix it. that language, unfortunately, was removed from the conference report. and i think it's time for us -- and i think a bipartisan majority of this senate believes it's time for us to pass enforceable currency protection measures and make sure the president has them on his desk. in june of 2015, "the new york times" poll showed that 63% of americans believe that trade restrictions are necessary, and only 16% of americans believe that the trans-pacific partnership would actually increase american jobs. and i'm absolutely convinced the american people are correct on that based on the study of previous trade agreements and the analysis of studies by tufts and other groups. tufts university. a may 2015 poll conducted

american war, spanish american war, world wars i and ii with the last declaration coming in june 1942 against several eastern european countries that were allied with nazi germany. so it's not italy and germany, but rather hungary, romania, et cetera. so let me give you a couple of case studies here to think about what we're going to talk about today. first of all, i want to talk about a case that occurred not that long ago, in my lifetime at least. richard nixon was president of the united states in 1969. he inherited the vietnam war, as you know. and reports came to him that the north vietnamese forces were seeking sanctuary in then neutral cambodia and they were using that as a safe place, if you will, to launch invasions against the south. starting in 1969 richard nixon began to authorize the bomb bombardment of targets. and ground forces crossed the south vietnamese cambodian border and invaded cambodia. nixon did not ask for any congressional authorization. this was a secret operation from the beginning. when it was discovered, there were a lot of protests. this is where you hav
