What would The United States of America do without people like Jane Mayer?
Better look at the whole picture instead of half.
Wow, this was an excellent interview/documentary! Thanks!
I read Dark Money when it came out. It reads like a psychological thriller, I could not put it down!! Mayer packs many punches with her truth and facts 🤔
Thank you Democracy Now!
Wow, another heavy-hitting piece by Jane Mayer & the New Yorker. ...I mean, over the past 10-12 yrs., she's just been a true visionary on a lot of major issues. ...Please folks, take a bit of time to watch & learn from this interview.
Lastly, we should (as always), be grateful to Democracynow.org for producing this nicely-edited piece.
Exactly
You are either part of the 1% or a minion or maybe just nieve. She's part of the Neo Liberal elite as far as I can tell. CHRIS HEDGES! Eva Bartlett, Abby Martin, Richard Wolff, Robert Reich, Krystal Ball, Jimmy Dore These are truth tellers and Glen Greenwald, Julian Assange etc. She isn't really you must 1st figure out for whom she's a mouthpiece. She's one of those the ones who kept their jobs.
All she's saying at the end of the day is she likes her Clinton endorsed Cleptocracy better than this other flavour of corporate greed. WTF🤦♂️🤷♂️wake up
@@paxwallacejazz If she's part of the Liberal Elite, I am here for it. LOVE HER. I will take Clinton endorsed cleptocracy before I accept Billionaire funded Fascism ANY DAY.
+q+
Funny how Mercer calls, people "elite", when he's the elite. When he says people are tired of them, yes, Were very tired of his elitism stay out of our government.
Exactly.
Criminals
I hate these out of touch assholes who have never suffered one day in their lives.
Anyone notice how these people claim to want small government but want corporate wellfare?
Django - They want to be their own government unto themselves.
@@tori2dles Yes! They don't want small government. They want to BE the government.
I just wish that the report would stop defending war criminals so that we could focus on the united front in corporate theft. People can believe that trail of evidence better if they don't hear unevidenced defense of the indefensible. I really feel whether it's intentional or not, this is not helpful. We need to advance your point and unite around that.
@R J A civilized society must have some government, in order to have funds for education, health, infrastructure, police etc. people have to work and pay taxes; that is, unless you know a way to have these things without money. Those people who don’t want to help pay for these things need to move on their own private island and get these things for themselves, unless they want to live in a third-world-like society. Libertarians want all the privileges of a social society without paying for it.
Yes! Its a ruse too keep dumb people stupid. Because, they "most people" believe it is saving their jobs. So therefore, its ok to give corporations tax money without a return. It is not a loan its a false bailout.
Did Mercer ever pay his taxes? I thought not.
Taxes will be stolen anyway 21:15 all Jane Meyer talks about is doing what democrats arent doing is bad. Most comment sections below liberal, left or how do you call them videos are disabled. They want communism like in china, except they will be burried by CCP itself before they see it like in Vietnam, Russia, Maos China, ect.
@@MrSp0iler "Taxes will be stolen anyway" then the trump voters work hard to make it so by electing deplorable crooks. "government doesn't work" then republican voters work hard to elect republicans that block anything from being done in the government.
@@emhu2594 well maybe, lack of educated people on top and politics becoming theater is the end game anyway. you cant fill all the positions as many as there are government jobs and all those WHO UNESCO UN and other branches or whatever they are (dont mistake diploma with education). + commies drug up non commie regions and exterminate them to become commie.
@@MrSp0iler random word bot ?
Jane Mayer is super smart. Thanks for your books and videos
Alex Jones type stuff- left wing Alex Jones- lizard people level crap
@@thingy2780 😂 😂 sure, keep thinking that. Alex Jones WISHES he had Jane Mayer’s level of thinking.
Amy Goodman. Simply the best.
Wow; just what I've been curious about!! Thank you!!
I hope Cal Tech publicly disavows this guy, their institution loses credibility having him claim that they validate his ideas being one of their alumni.
True. MIT should do the same with Charles Koch And Epstein.
Money talks.
Its a shame this doesnt have over a million views
Great information my goodness. Her book sales will go up. I am buying it for my library.
Dark evil people with their dark money 😈😈😈😈😈
@@soulergy1soulrgy1 Are you saying purple people have no right to a legitimate opinion?
this is conspiracy theory stuff- you are a sandy hook denier kook
The money is usually stained blood red......dipped in people's blood.
@@appletile2887 your tin foil hat is a little to tight
Is there any law that would allow us to exile these crazies to some island? We need to save ourselves from them and their monetary influence that is inhuman!!!
Jekyll island comes to mind.. or maybe little St James is.
Or the Epstein Island?
They actually look like comic book villians.
"Les Miserables", "A Tale of Two Cities," and "The Day of the Jackal."
Robert Mercer and Rebekah scare the heck out of me.
I guess we fund and finance our own demise. To bad we can't withhold our federal tax dollars , it's a two edged sword.
Maybe it is Mercer who is really the Manchurian Candidate
I thought Trump was put into the White House by God? wasn't Trump who repeatly said "I'm vary rich, I don't needs other's people money".
The psychopaths that hoard the money don't believe in god, they believe they ARE gods.
....and stupid people worship them as if they are too
Guadalupe Mendoza 😂😂😂
Guadalupe Mendoza everyone knows that, he has been a crooked big liar for decades
The scary thing is that these people are connected to the religious elite here in the USA. The pull the strings for these big ministries as well as right wing candidates. And that’s why you see Evangelicals giving Trump a key to the castle of their hearts & minds.
Great job Amy and DN. 👏👏 These crooks have no shame at their ignorant greed, robbing all the people of the world, killing and robbing them of their share of everything. They have no conscience to tell them just what monsters they are.
Robert & Rebekah give me that same icky feeling I get with DJT & Ivanka. Blech. 🤮
Brave woman
Let's let Mercer and Trump try out this guy's theory about Radiation and see if it's good for them.
It would be good for the rest of us, that is for sure
Do the Mercers fund ALEC to influence state legislatures. If so, they have been highly successful.
Remember those names folks: Louis XVI Mercer and Marie Antoinette Mercer and in relation to trump and bannon.
Yes, and we have 300 million guns.
? I thought we were talking about the guillotine and the rich psychopaths. We are a mob, they are not. Did you see the million-man protest in Yemen, was it yesterday? Imagine that armed - though I'm not suggesting it at all. But the idea must scare the crap out of them.
@@americanjedi5952 says:
"Yes, and we have 300 million guns."

US military has 5 times that.
Why don't you try firing against them first?
allgoo19 it's your last line of defense. They are trying so hard to get them. Painful watching us be conquered from the inside, thanks to a completely treasonous government. Hey, oct 7th is 777 days since the great American eclipse that had 7 towns named Salem in its path. I'm expecting some sort of human sacrifice. What will it be? A "natural" disaster, another 911 false flag, yet another mass shooting where hundreds line up to donate blood? It gets obvious with the 7s. Oct 7 is also 13 days after the treasonous heads of 70 nations meet to iron out those 100s of Noahide Laws for the gentiles the UN will be using if they are called in to keep the oeace and safety. I'd tell you to look them up but all you will see is pretty rainbows and propaganda. Might need the Freedom of information act to read them. I no longer own a gun cuz I had to pawn it, but no way should we let them get a single one away from any citizen. It's a deterent. Why fo you think they haven't crashed the fake economy after about 7 years like they usually do? Too many people will wake up and realize they've been sodomized,
@@americanjedi5952 says:
"allgoo19 it's your last line of defense."

Just try firing at them.
What you'll accomplish.
You'll lose all "peaceful protest" status.
You'll earn the combatant status instead.
There will be nothing stopping them from firing back at you.
Shut up and just try it.
I have personally worked with the scientists at NASA involved in global warming research. I sat directly across from them as they discussed what they were doing and the various inputs that are contributing to the problem and I had to figure out how best to paint their visuals so they could explain all of those different variables. These are brilliant scientists, totally immersed in the research. If they tell us that mankind is causing the globe to warm (and they do ! ! !), then we had better start taking the very seriously.
It is sad that people buy into alternative facts over verifiable facts.. If knowledge is power, than we the people are becoming increasingly powerless as our minds are being filled with misinformation & distractions. Debating verifiable facts & sewing the seeds of confusion is just a way to buy time. Unfortunately, while the "debate" continues, so does the extent of our environmental impact in terms of global warming. Personally, I find debating whether the world is round or not as a waste of time also.
Thank goodness someone's paying close attention
Surprise! ...A plutocracy funded by a plutocrat
Such a shame that this is only being reported now that it's too late.
Along the line of Grover Norquist that suggested..."Drownin govt in a bathtub!"
Thank you Democracy Now
add the mercers to the Nazis. they dislike Jews too.
Dangerous close minded people who are presented power on a platter then abuse it. The world does need a venue to stabilize earnings before it wipes us out.
Now we're getting somewhere.
I wonder what happened to Rebekah Mercer and her father to make them so hateful? What could make someone as evil as Mr. Mercer is.
the love of money
@@gailhitson6722 and power and they also want to make the rules for us not for them
Watching this in in mid January 2021 gives to piece a very Cassandrian flavour.
Damn she knew all this shit before everything came to light..... crazy
This popped up on my feed today and made me search for Mercer Mayer. Pleasant technomancy.
Scary stuff here. Hope this father and daughter team put their money on construction and not destruction.
Highly doubt it, on the good side, the dark money?not so dark anymore.sunshine is a good disinfectant.
Stop Legal Plunder.
When describing Mercer, sounds like you are describing a paranoid who is also possibly autistic or has some other mental issues -- doesn't talk, has no expression, has lots of fears and is easily manipulated by egotisical motivations
Yes autism comes to mind
Robert Mercer could be Batman's evil twin who prefers the company of Catwoman's cats. What a sad joke this all is!
The Mercers sound like Uber-rich sociopaths a la Patrick Bateman.
Wow billionaires who know they are not going to live forever hire scientist who say a little radiation is good for you sounds lovely doesn't it?
I have no idea who has started this trend of playing music while someone is speaking but it's really annoying!! Your intro was like that!
How can we stop these right wing monsters!
Toni Touchberry fuck off, that’s how, this bitch is a Nazi puppet
Take your own nasty threatening suggestion.
Money in politics, kicks "we the people" into a "trash-bin", Congress turned into quicksand.
When the rich, ungodly and wicked rule, the people mourn.
of by and for the rich.
3/4 through this video - can’t do the rest till the nausea goes away.
Brother said Unbelievable believe it, if this goes viral we will have to take a chance on a different commander and chief 20 20 no more money and greed for personal gain
I saw this a while ago.
Can't Trust Trump
So true
He ain't no Koch.. Those brothers are something else.
36:10 Wow.
To the Mercers.. THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH!!!
The love of money is the root of all evil.
I just listened to the part where Mercer talks about his program that ran faster than the old one. Of course, when people get a more powerful tool, they'll ask bigger questions. That's what happens. That's not a problem. It's not a sign that people just want to waste resources.
wish this was heard in every home and civics class.. disgusting arrogance
Agree
They are Evil
Maybe Mercer and Renaissance are so secretive because they are involved in insider trading. They wouldn't be the first hedge fund to do so.
Or involved in laundering money for the russians.
A fundamentalist Baptist pastor told me that there is a danger with a mother-son Dynamic. Well, here we have a father-daughter dynamic that is very dangerous, so much for the Evangelical dissing of Mary and Jesus
The evil rich captured the world it will take to the good rich to save it.
The shift in DN's tone has been remarkable since Trump's election - as if the Democratic party and candidate weren't bankrolled by dodgy 'dark money'. Apparently corruption by the rich of the political process isn't the problem; it's meddling that upsets the oligarchic status quo that's cause for concern.
Sorry Robert. I'm not buying. But you know that. Your organization psychologically profiled me and I'm damned angry with you about it.
Trump: “I’m gonna drain the swamp!” WTF? He was put in power by the swamp FFS!
Gators move on land trump...🤣🤣🤣
A tragic situation is when a disaster is coming and you know it. Godspeed Mr. Mueller.
+Charles Powell. HA. mueller's busy covering for the clintons and the skokovo foundation and victor vexelberg for trying to sell hypersonic missile tech to russia. so how does mueller cover a bombshell like that up? he investigates vexelberg's ties to trump while conveniently ignoring his ties to the clinton's.
I've been watching DN for at least 5 or 6 years now... and I don't think I had ever really paid attention to the entire soundtrack. Yo, that song is dope! Who wrote it?
Mike Pompeo's mother's last name was Mercer... ya think there's a connection?
It's a serious flaw in the Judge-appointment procedure when there is nil or flimsy obligation of the prospective appointee to declare supporters and the nature of that support, whether or not he considers recusal in specific or general cases. Where "big money" is the Applicant, I believe the latest score is 80-0 in their favour. That may have something to say about the Applicant being able to afford the best lawyers, but I remain sceptical.
Time for a REVOLUTION America!
All those billions and no plastic surgery for the daughter?
bannon overloaded his depends at squirtfart
I'd like to see Jane Mayer in a Super Women outfit. Despite saying he financed his own campaign in 2016, Trump did no such thing.
Wasn't she quoting what Trump said about financing his own campaign?
20:28 Jane Mayer should know that reputation alone isn't a defense for allegations. That is, unless you think the Vatican has nothing to do with those sexual assault allegations.
Good info....but the money behind the other party(s) should also be included so that we may understand how the money trusts have been controlling the government
Agree, in some of the authors other talks, she has mentioned Soros and another family on the left. She defiantly does not claim it’s all one sided, but the right just has more due to a more systematic approach.
I think she also has covered Soros, and in some other interview (I hope I do not mix anything up, she mentions that substantially more flows in from the Conservative than the Liberal side). Mayer's fascination with the Kochs and their super-rich allies is that they do not just focus on the big elections but everhthing in between, and thus way more effectively thannothers with regard to the impact they have on politics, judiciary, think tanks, universities, popular narratives. Her fascination with the Mercers (topic of this interview) would be that they are disruptors with a potentially big impact on the future of American democracy, political economy, the environment, etc. I agree with you with regard to shining light into the entire system regardless of from which spart of the political spectrum the money comes from.
How many patents energy related are office permanent actions ?
And all that freaking money doesn't hurt!!!
AND IN JUST ABOUT 42:06 minutes interview is in my opinion "FOOD FOR THOUGHT" and "TRUTH BE TOLD THE TRUTH" Wow'wow son of a gun.
This is why there should be no billionaires
Right hates goverment... So left loves goverment? That's confusing.
They want confusion
Was that ACB walking away at 1:34?
The love of money is the root of all evil these people have a special place in hell in the afterlife
The Mercers contributed also to their own horrible reputation.
The background music is TOO LOUD! Thank God it finally stopped.
The interview was cut short, as you can tell by the way the video ended. The interview easily could've been twice as long. And it probably was.
What people call critic journalism and thorough methodic investigation, in America they call it "that mysterious and unknown magic"
if it's about information how about displaying a broadcast date

Merser was the main designer of algorithms, initially. He has patents and maybe backdoors to algorithms, who knows. These control biz ad ratings on Google, campaign visibility, independent media censoring, perhaps. It's probably the helm of the internet.

One question, where do you think the ignorant get their information? Answer: The intelligent and very dumb. Rich Republican...
26:00 ohhhhh profound proverbs... proverbial.. patriarchy corporate brutality cults... Yep
This could be the most enraging Dem now post ...
Fkn cats!?🏴😹💰

I respect Jane Mayer, however to say that presidents would not murder someone who may be in their way, is outright naive...obviously, they wouldn't dirty their hands BUT how would you describe the emotional capability to feel happy when Ghadafi was murdered??
fazaelma Sodomized with a sword no less. The whole lot of them are sociopaths. I tried telling people for months that Trump and Clinton are two peas in a pod.
Jeremy Chase That was what Michael Corleone said to Kay in "The Godfather" when she said senators and presidents don't have people killed. "Now whose being naive, Kay?"
Jeremy Chase Well I hope you now know how stupid you were. I don't think Hillary would be antagonizing a crazy man in N Korea by twitter. I don't think Hillary would be calling football players son's of bitches and call for them to be hired. And this is just the headlines this week.
fazaelma 45 had someone knocked off
Yeah L Huff (&puff), that was just for that week and don't think a minute the Democrat plutocrats class is not content to have The Great Distractor in the White House, while they help dismantling government.
Story should now be the Koch brother, not the Koch Brothers because David Koch died almost 2 years ago. Yeah, I know the story is 3 years old.
Wikileaks showed us the rest!!!! Evil
people willingly give up all their secret personality traits to social media then act surprised when this data is then used to target them with personalised ads.
So is this what we are accepting? Is there a choice?
THEY ARE ALL IN LINE TO savdi pvtin jonestown... IMHO.. those "watev right..
