On July 13th this happened

[Uncle Joe]

A lone heckler was ejected and his question never answered.

Heckler ejected from Hillary Clinton speech after interrupting to ask about Wall Street regulation

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's major economic speech on Monday was interrupted by a protester who demanded answers from her about investment banking regulations.

The heckler, Daniel Burke, stood up and shouted at the end of Clinton's address, in which she outlined her presidential campaign's economic agenda.

"Senator Clinton, will you restore Glass-Steagall?" Burke yelled.

Clinton, who was speaking in Manhattan at The New School, appeared taken aback. She did not answer his question. Her supporters in the audience eventually started clapping to drown out Burke and security escorted him from the building.

Five days later on July 18th a group of hecklers basically took over the NetRoots event of which Sanders was speaking, they weren't ejected, Bernie tried to answer (even if not satisfactorily in the heat of the moment) and has continued from that point to this day address the concerns of Black Lives Matter.

Does anyone know if Hillary Clinton ever answered the question regarding restoring Glass-Steagall or has this issue just conveniently dropped off the radar?

On edit a little information about Glass-Steagall.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_Steagal

The term Glass–Steagall Act usually refers to four provisions of the U.S. Banking Act of 1933 that limited commercial bank securities activities and affiliations within commercial banks and securities firms.[1] Congressional efforts to “repeal the Glass–Steagall Act” referred to those four provisions (and then usually to only the two provisions that restricted affiliations between commercial banks and securities firms [2]). Those efforts culminated in the 1999 Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act (GLBA), which repealed the two provisions restricting affiliations between banks and securities firms.[3]

The term Glass–Steagall Act is also often used to refer to the entire Banking Act of 1933, after its Congressional sponsors, Senator Carter Glass (D) of Virginia, and Representative Henry B. Steagall (D) of Alabama.[4] This article deals with only the four provisions separating commercial and investment banking. The article 1933 Banking Act describes the entire law, including the legislative history of the Glass-Steagall provisions separating commercial and investment banking. A separate 1932 law also known as the Glass–Steagall Act is described in the article Glass–Steagall Act of 1932.

(snip)

Many commentators have stated that the GLBA’s repeal of the affiliation restrictions of the Glass–Steagall Act was an important cause of the late-2000s financial crisis.[9][10][11] Some critics of that repeal argue it permitted Wall Street investment banking firms to gamble with their depositors' money that was held in affiliated commercial banks.[12] Others have argued that the activities linked to the financial crisis were not prohibited (or, in most cases, even regulated) by the Glass–Steagall Act.[13] Commentators, including former President Clinton in 2008 and the American Bankers Association in January 2010, have also argued that the ability of commercial banking firms to acquire securities firms (and of securities firms to convert into bank holding companies) helped mitigate the financial crisis.[14]

1. does anyone know if soros funded the heckler

[Uncle Joe]

2. I doubt it, not from this piece of information

Finally, we must recognize that financial markets evolve in a one-directional, nonreversible manner. The financial authorities, in carrying out their duty of preventing the system from collapsing, have extended an implicit guarantee to all institutions that are “too big to fail.” Now they cannot credibly withdraw that guarantee. Therefore, they must impose regulations that will ensure that the guarantee will not be invoked. Too-big-to-fail banks must use less leverage and accept various restrictions on how they invest the depositors’ money. Deposits should not be used to finance proprietary trading. But regulators have to go even further. They must regulate the compensation packages of proprietary traders to ensure that risks and rewards are properly aligned. This may push proprietary traders out of banks, into hedge funds where they properly belong. Just as oil tankers are compartmentalized in order to keep them stable, there ought to be firewalls between different markets. It is probably impractical to separate investment banking from commercial banking as the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 did. But there have to be internal compartments keeping proprietary trading in various markets separate from each other. Some banks that have come to occupy quasi-monopolistic positions may have to be broken up.

3. Thank you Uncle Joe.

There was another video of hecklers at a Hillary event also. They more or less took over, not sure if this was the same event.

Bernie is going to have to get security. He was pushed by one of the disrupters something that is a crime, if he chose to push it, which he will not I am sure.

But as a US Senator there is simply NO excuse for what bordered on violence.

Next time, it could be someone with a weapon, it's not as if we have not seen it before.

[GoneFishin]

8. I am very concerned about the weapon issue given the number people with "resources" who

disagree with his democratic ideas about democracy.

[Uncle Joe]

4. I intend for this to be my last thread on the heckler subject.

I would like to put this behind us as well, I pray no more disruptors take over or attempt to take over either candidate's speeches to their supporters.

Having said that I do believe the issue of Glass-Steagall should be addressed by the candidates.

Peace to all of you.

[Sunlei]

5. your question and the hecklers were answered.

All you have to do to find answers to some questions is place her name and Glass–Steagall Act in a search bar and you'll see several news reports.

Here is one headline, Financial adviser: Clinton won't push Glass-Steagall bank bill, I placed a link to the article because there is some explanation from Mrs. Clinton interviews, 'why' in the article. article also mentions this is a difference between Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Clinton.

[Uncle Joe]

6. I have to agree with Senator Warren and economist Joseph Stiglitz on this issue.

http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2009/01/stiglitz200901-2

The deregulation philosophy would pay unwelcome dividends for years to come. In November 1999, Congress repealed the Glass-Steagall Act—the culmination of a $300 million lobbying effort by the banking and financial-services industries, and spearheaded in Congress by Senator Phil Gramm. Glass-Steagall had long separated commercial banks (which lend money) and investment banks (which organize the sale of bonds and equities); it had been enacted in the aftermath of the Great Depression and was meant to curb the excesses of that era, including grave conflicts of interest. For instance, without separation, if a company whose shares had been issued by an investment bank, with its strong endorsement, got into trouble, wouldn’t its commercial arm, if it had one, feel pressure to lend it money, perhaps unwisely? An ensuing spiral of bad judgment is not hard to foresee. I had opposed repeal of Glass-Steagall. The proponents said, in effect, Trust us: we will create Chinese walls to make sure that the problems of the past do not recur. As an economist, I certainly possessed a healthy degree of trust, trust in the power of economic incentives to bend human behavior toward self-interest—toward short-term self-interest, at any rate, rather than Tocqueville’s “self interest rightly understood.”

The most important consequence of the repeal of Glass-Steagall was indirect—it lay in the way repeal changed an entire culture. Commercial banks are not supposed to be high-risk ventures; they are supposed to manage other people’s money very conservatively. It is with this understanding that the government agrees to pick up the tab should they fail. Investment banks, on the other hand, have traditionally managed rich people’s money—people who can take bigger risks in order to get bigger returns. When repeal of Glass-Steagall brought investment and commercial banks together, the investment-bank culture came out on top. There was a demand for the kind of high returns that could be obtained only through high leverage and big risktaking.

Thanks for your reply, Sunlei

7. I tend to agree with Mrs. Warren as well. I wish the USA was much tougher on banks. Our USA

banks suck big time at the consumer level.
