** "Government is not working for the American people - because where you let everything fall down to the profit motive, the big fish eat the little fish."

The Arts Express Hot Seat: General Wesley Clark Phones In. Though sounding strangely more like Karl Marx lately, the military commander responsible for the US war on Vietnam and as NATO commander the destruction and cutthroat political and economic obliteration of the country of Yugoslavia, gets some tough interrogation tossed his way on the show.

And while possibly under the influence of his son Wesley Jr. who joins him for this conversation - a left leaning Young Turks host and leader of the thousands of Veterans Stand For Standing Rock pipeline protesters, who once claimed he may have 'guilt tripped' the general into changing his tune.

While topics on the agenda include Hot Money, the dinner table - and Nikita Krushchev's shoe.
