In this latest TYT Interview, Cenk Uygur sits down with acclaimed director Robert Greenwald to discuss the 2014 reboot of his documentary, “Koch Brothers Exposed.”
The two discuss the myriad and highly effective ways these multibillionaire brothers spend their money to push a pseudo-libertarian agenda, impact the political process and promote their narrow financial interests.
Specific topics discussed include the ideological underpinnings ofthe Kochs’ opposition to unions, the minimum wage and Social Security, as well as their support for conservative think tanks, voter ID laws and re-segregation of public schools in North Carolina.
The two also explain how the Kochs have kept their focus on the long haul rather than trying to win short-term battles, how David Koch, a cancer survivor, could justify allowing one of his companies to poison the water in a small Arkansas town, resulting in a spike in deadly cancers among residents and why Greenwald should take credit for the $25 million donation the Kochs recently made to the United Negro College Fund.
The two close with a call to action and suggestions for how average Americans without access to billions of dollars can re-take our democracy from the clutches of oligarchs like the Koch Brothers.
