Breaking the Set No. 200 -- 2013 Jul 10 WE

TPP's Corporate Takeover, Your Third Amendment Right, Lobbying: Legalized Bribery


On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin talks to Lori Wallach, director of Global Trade Watch at Public Citizen about why the TPP trade negotiations remain so secretive, and the dangerous implications this international agreement has on the rest of us. Abby then goes over a case of police overstepping authority in Nevada, when they forced entry into a home, arrested the occupants, all in an effort illegally use the homes for a stakeout, in violation of the third amendment. BTS wraps up the show with an interview with former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, about DC's culture of cronyism, revolving door politics, lobbying, and how to get money out of politics.
