| 0:00.0 | I'm Bill Moyers. It's good to have your ear. |
| 0:05.0 | This week on Mortgage Company, TPP, a big story you may know nothing about, a trade deal that Washington and corporate America want to keep secret. |
| 0:17.0 | There'd be no reason to keep it so secret if it was in the interest of the public. The whole notion of this agreement is to facilitate the movement of capital and to give capital |
| 0:25.6 | even more privileges than it has now. |
