He looks from the view of -- -- -- He has been the mansion looking down not the main -- look at up.

The fact is that -- two million Americans in poverty.

That's all the success for the middle class what about.

The poor and the dispossessed.

Well reverend Jackson does President Obama care about the very -- Well the extent of which we will losing.

Seven on the -- the thousand jobs a month.

Now it now we on the Encarta more job that does that that Begin the -- that base of those one employ a second in the -- The extent -- which we have pool on the thousand troops out of Iraq.

Hope the reduced less resource abroad the more at home that -- a step in the right direction.

Of all the -- from Obama kill more people are in fact -- fall.

Then we're not -- fall before all the fact that before the -- home on the upswing has billing out all industry.

Mean he has a -- -- that will be a challenge to his opposition.

But -- you tell me -- one hand there are more Americans on food stamps are need of assistance or food.

Insecure as -- as you put it on the other hand you Tellme and present bond seems to be doing things right but meanwhile that number keeps growing.

Who will most of more than must do more of the American division you can not lift the of those of the -- -- just what though.

-- payroll tax deductions you -- not lift -- up with the tax cuts.

The -- the reckon the based on jobs them into the poor people.

Ought cannot get the road because of lack of public transportation -- well by economic cost.

We hear the with a -- -- -- -- -- both into poverty and in the segregation for example.

All.

In Chicago and -- 171000 homeless children will to live today -- nomadic.

And they were and that that whether it's education day is the fact that the lack of adequate funding -- The war.

All and -- and instability.

And sold the growth of poverty is the Baltimore on -- deliberate very practical one I think that the last.

President take at all really water Lyndon Johnson warm -- -- the issue of prenatal care -- -- the -- -- -- flat ribbon GO goodwill from the backs that.

Certain commitment routed -- two I'm sorry -- -- and when asked his it's a touch of -- just said that the growth of growth and poverty is a financial issue is -- racial issues well.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- as a discrimination factor in that but it and also the fact and we we've globalized capital.

The -- -- human rights old plants close and jobs leave and drugs and -- come.

That is a factor in the slaying of the lack of access the jobs in the private sector as we as -- cut public sector jobs.

Post office job to police chiefs and pharma -- Black -- got civil service the public sector jobs that couldn't get the private sector but you cut public service benefit -- -- Private sector alternatives of between the banks taken people's houses round them in the foreclosures.

We've found to be illegal in.

And jobs -- and it -- increase its poverty crime law and pain.

-- -- take a listen represented Charlie Rangel is on the show about a week ago and he he I think key is saying the exact same thing you're -- right here listen to his comments.

I suggest to deal that they government does not these races and that discrimination.

That the private set bit enjoys if you take a look at the post office and a -- low level the level.

The political jobs.

You'll find a lot more women minorities and older people so reverend Jackson do you agree with -- -- -- that there's.

And in his words racism.

And discrimination in the private sector.

We know that the case of the -- -- a crook case here in Chicago today.

While ago men have been reckon -- -- three years he faced such horrendous.

Racial discrimination -- 2000 -- -- from his job.

The company admits that it did something wrong and they -- some -- -- to rectify its wrong but.

Denied access to private sector -- people in the public sector jobs in Seoul today is the tells the -- if in fact ala.

Paula it implement.

Opportunities.

And contract.

Up until it is and open up.

But coming out here when you mean nine access to private sector job I I'd literally in no when mr.

Rangel said -- I didn't really understand I don't understand what you're saying -- saying that their private.

Private companies who are are being racist and discriminatory if you're black or -- you come American -- but if you're white that you you get hired.

Well let's let's start with the banks the banks have been found -- that -- -- All blacks and browns talking steering clustering and -- this report liberal Bebo.

In the foreclosure and then through vigil for a -- models are right vote vulnerable for all of those banks but those banks that bail out in the that -- that the premise that they in fact that the -- by the government but that's sort of artist chart that did it when it would of course if I'm wrong though the targeting and clustering they talk about -- for home loans not necessarily for hiring right.

What is the fact that the same outcome of that Lamotte at the same banks that in fact -- Driving a full there was also and that -- -- they're going to business mean they have patterns of walk of race discrimination.

-- humbled to economic growth but beyond that all most of these big of the jobs live beyond what the public transportation goes to.

Okay give it a problem addressed visions when you cut access -- transportation acts of the job.

That lends itself to the scrimmage at the resegregation.

Parents are given wanna work.

-- -- -- -- Of -- people won't want to work important work the hardest and and drug approvals and get the least amount of pay.

Could -- access to jobs healthcare and education a Chicago with third two on the black stuff yet because the health of the -- this that's obviously.

Actually the healthcare is effect and -- a big factor -- that could really -- there should thank you very much for joining us reverend Jesse Jackson.
