you only go with the root cause of mom never not right because of the family what you're going to have. let me do this is her first time frame here i was cracking here and she could meet contracting and just. as a young man to do this it was that although i didn't know if she doesn't want to go with us well the worst possible case scenario is the baby can come out dead and that's just being we're not going to sugarcoat it that's just being blunt yes i can i'm going to have a look around her leaders have you had three and i pass it off so i'm going next prompted that you haven't enough about it yet yet i am sure i have a woman think once you stand up and try to walk for us. like we can do that but your blood pressure is already. or you still stand. there not telling you not to run sweetie. so you need to do the right thing for your baby that's less goes. ok ok ok ok we're going take your money ok ok ok
7:49 pm
ok ok all right the king is the greatest hospital shortly right yes now they say that me and my baby's life they are really really good. this is proof that we're picking up on rock samples county supervisor. that opens the door a. little monday morning at eight o'clock this hospital be open to the patients of watson well broke in the south central area of los angeles county. wants was put on the map not only in california but the but the mission to the world. in one thousand sixty five because of the riots six days of rioting in a negro section of los angeles left behind scenes reminiscent of war torn city much of south central los angeles seemed to be on fire up the fire killing five point
7:50 pm
unemployment or education and things like a lack of health care and. the microphone commission said that the county must really house but. just think that we had a section of los angeles county. over a third of a million citizens without adequate hospital care when i transferred in m.l.k. more use to king. true hospital where is. your facility it was a hospital it was a trauma hospital trauma it was open which was actually a pretty state of the art trauma and i believe we were saying to him fifty. maybe even closer to fifty five fifty seven thousand a year in the maine department a lot of times we would get the diabetic and coma who knew something was wrong but didn't have the means to go to the doctor's office. again that goes to the problem
7:51 pm
that there are no primary care facilities in that area. a few years ago the county last year said a lot of clinics are open for people to go walk in off the street and see clinics in the county and a few bad budget years a few years ago they closed those clinics private clinics are going to open up and take under insured or patients who can't pay. you so you don't have papers yes you have papers just permission how is your sugar level it's one hundred twenty. no no it's four hundred that's very bad for your diabetes. second if you had an appointment with a pharmacy a week ago why didn't you go. i did go. this is
7:52 pm
a free clinic the medicine is free you see me for free so why didn't you come this costs money. a lot of the patients here are not compliant they don't want to structure their never raise with structure they want the school you know never stuck with a layer you know. so check your sugar two to three times a week don't use more not every day this is very expensive most do not have insurance but this is where the money needs to go because the primary care why in this diabetic we don't feel your heart attacks a leg cut off you know because if they don't treat it we see them on the streets and then two years later he ends up at l.a. county hospital you've got to treat it as a cost five hundred thousand dollars. but if you miss your next appointment or any other appointment you can find a new clinic oh yes if i miss the appointment i can come back you know what end.
7:53 pm
primary care nationally is a problem when it is and especially a problem here in los angeles county where do you go for primary care physicians first of all the country is not training enough for them. so we have a possible candidate for the program. mr mayor has been identified as a great one user has been to. at least six times within the one year period we want
7:54 pm
to thank you for also the care management part of it in order to maybe help her keep her out of that yard and having to come in ok the same mrs romero my name is. i work with a program called road to health and to help the patient understand better how to use the medical system setting them out maybe. but then you are going to have a caseworker who is going to communicate with you often. ok use them as though you were telling me how sometimes you have difficulty making appointments see ok so we are going to help you a little bit with that. i think oh my you know how can i help you know me and they didn't give me this mattson you do have to educate and empower patients to learn how to access care correctly and at the same time you can't do that if the system
7:55 pm
is not set up to be accessible if you're educating the patient to go down a road where the bridge is out and there's a fork in the road there's three different ways to go and you know which way to go that's not going to be very helpful in our vision is to improve access to care we want to give people access to the right care at the right time at the right place and we need to incentivize financially our primary care providers our physicians this is your family medicine doctor that you go see for a cold but also the person who's most likely to diagnose you if you have cancer. and you know you have refills you know but they told me i shouldn't come back with al did prescription for the k y u and of course they wouldn't sell it to me that's one thing we need to explain to the fish and i don't know the field. yes five years she's telling me that she gets it that i may be seen i'm going to get a half out of myself. pretty sure because you're going for wellness we'll get together later for a lot of. the same. sort
7:56 pm

7:57 pm
to explain exactly what he meant and he says we need to free our beds for our people and i said i will which people are your people the people that were bringing them from these lower income areas are paying they don't have insurance they got to get treated they got to be seen but you know they're not paying you can't function as a hospital and that's why we've lost so many hospitals and aryan. in los angeles carol in the last just over five years we've had a love and emergency rooms close and in most cases entire hospitals. if you give a map of the city and you put a little dock where the hospitals are and you put a dog or were that yours and. wealthy

8:00 pm
you're a criminal when you rob people and that's exactly what they do they've robbed people of not only their home but their dignity their pride just sanity well these days a house is not a home unless freddie mac. says so but one u.s. marine is sticking it to the max and taking his house back in a country where one in one thousand houses are foreclosed on looks like anything goes. like to be around american patriots who love this constitution. looks like the circus is in town once again a political circus that is the scene packed conference officially kicked off today at the republican candidates are clamoring to prove that they're the conservative
8:01 pm
alternative to barack obama we'll take you inside. a large suites and they like all the other groups that are. sas foods and sodas and snow. all designing our way toward disaster at the saying you are we it is true that americans are genetically modified sul covered french fries coated in high for those current syrup and dipped in a vat of chocolate milk it's the obesity industrial complex and it's giving health activists heart palpitations. it's thursday feb ninth eight pm in washington d.c. i'm liz wall and you're watching r t. well the u.s. marine is in for the fight of his life but the battle is happening right here in america a recent investigation revealed that taxpayer backed mortgage company freddie mac.
8:02 pm
was betting billions of dollars on securities that profited when homeowners words ignite refinancing retired marine are delish santos is one of those homeowners that freddie bet against and as our teaser mungle endo shows us the low dose is fighting to keep his home but the help of some california occupiers. the share comes over. to get arrested. and fight to land trying to save your house art de los santos is ready to stand up to the law and to wall street after repeatedly trying to modify their known the delos santos family was a big did late last year a devastating blow for the family who have a decades worth of family memories in this house the kids have grown up here and we've done modifications to the house with. windows. define a court order art moved his family back in taking back the dream he feels was
8:03 pm
stolen could potentially face arrest for re-entry in the home where he has raised his four children but despite the risk the family is staying put inspired by the occupy movement and other struggling homeowners who are now more than ever willing to take on the big banks another revelation causing outrage about mortgage giant freddie macas began increasing these investments dramatically in late two thousand and ten at the same time it was making it harder for homeowners to get out of such mortgages the new found results come from revelations that taxpayers own mortgage company pretty mack was essentially betting against tens of thousands of homeowners like to listen to the multi billion dollar bets paid off of homeowners stay trapped in expensive high interest loans. putting them squarely against the people the company is meant to help bring into question the mission of the bailed out mortgage giant this country does not stand by they wore
8:04 pm
these banks sitting up in their ivory towers robin the people have been getting away with it occupy activists are showing their solidarity with the family setting up camp in hopes of pressuring the bank to reconsider the foreclosure the foreclosure crisis has been. devastating in riverside county where the delos santos family lives last year one out of every nineteen homes here was in foreclosure nationwide there were two point seven million foreclosures in two thousand and eleven a figure that is expected to soar this year well the current administration has done little to slow the foreclosure crisis more families are becoming desperate they need to pay attention to the foreclosure issue because again you have millions of families and this is true we're going to concede to have down spiral on the economic crisis of the nation while working families struggle for their homes
8:05 pm
executives that freddie mac. and on wall street keep collecting a multimillion dollar paycheck criminal when you rob people and that's exactly what they've done they've robbed people not only their homes but their dignity your sanity a situation which has left many american families with little to lose you see here we don't want to leave delos antos and his supporters hope others will follow his lead and fight for their home. in riverside california ramon the lindo r t. so with growing foreclosures and number of people occupying front lawns what does this say about the state of our country i spoke to the iraq war veteran michael prysner just a few moments ago and this is what he had to say about the crisis. well it says that conditions for poor and working people in the united states are very bad and
8:06 pm
they're getting much worse i know that all of these militant actions taking place across the country the retaking of foreclosed homes the taking of vacant buildings to provide housing for people you know these people aren't going out to the streets and doing this because they want to get arrested or because they want to get attacked by the cops but because they're left with no other choice because they're compelled to fight because they have no other choice but to fight because this government after years of an economic crisis has taken no real meaningful action to try to improve the lives of the people that are affected by a crisis that they didn't create and had no role in creating and i think when you see even war veterans like who's featured in this story you know people who the politicians are saying over and over again are the people they care most about and want to take care of the most when even it's veterans who are experiencing a massively high rate of foreclosure and eviction and you know a disproportionately high rate of homelessness amid really exposes that the u.s. government for the people who are struggling to stay in their homes doesn't really care too much about them now the marine that we just saw is just one of many
8:07 pm
americans in that predicament today these people turn to freddie mac. a company who says that their mission is to help people achieve their dream of owning a home how are these people being manipulated into believing this. well you know these banks come up with these very predatory schemes i mean they prey on people who they know they can get into a deal and they don't care whether or not they can make the payments and in fact today there was a major agreement reached between the attorney general of the state of california and with five of the biggest banks where these banks were found guilty of committing fraud of reaching out to people who needed homes who wanted to refinance and tricking them committing fraud gentle and acts and causing millions of people to be kicked out of their homes and the response of the state government to this was a settlement where the state would get you know a figure of about eighteen billion dollars which factors out to about a thousand or two thousand dollars per homeowner who's taken advantage of by the
8:08 pm
banks and then who was kicked out of their home that's the compensation that they're told that that they're entitled to and so this crisis is happening because of fraud committed by the banks because of predatory lending committed by the banks and because of a financial crisis that was created by the biggest banks and the biggest corporations leading the economy down a road that didn't matter to them if it collapsed only matter if they increased their profits for that quarter and as you just said it is the big banks that are profiting from this profiting from the hardships of others i know that you are an advocate of the occupy wall street movement does this serve as another example of the injustices that the movement is fighting against. oh absolutely the the main things that brought people into the street when the occupy wall street movement started in september it was the rate of four the high rate of foreclosures and the high rate of student debt of young people who did what they were told live the american dream went to college came out with a degree still couldn't find a job and had themselves seven hundred thousand dollars in debt and so the rate of
8:09 pm
foreclosures the student at the massive rate of unemployment that isn't getting any better in the country these are the core reasons why so many people are being compelled to take these militant actions to put their bodies on the line to become politically awake and then become activists and this is something that absolutely is not going to go away because the conditions that are pushing people into the street aren't going away so the people going to keep responding and keep fighting oh michael what needs to change to address this crisis and get people back into their homes. well that's easy first of all the banks can declare a moratorium on foreclosures the banks do not have to keep people out of their homes right now they want to keep people out of their homes because they are going to make profit off it taking that foreclosed home and then reselling it they're going to make these multimillion dollar bonuses the bank executives and the shareholders doing something that they don't have to do but the thing is they don't care they care about their bottom line but it's not just the banks the u.s. government has a big role to play in this also they can declare a moratorium on foreclosures they can take at least just
8:10 pm
a fraction of the bank bailout money you know the eleven trillion dollars that was handed to the banks you know one trillion dollars of that money could have paid for everyone to be able to have a home and stay in their home and not only that we need to pay to put people in homes there's like seven vacant housing units for every homeless person there is i mean there's an abundance of homes the problem isn't scarcity the problem is you know what they call too many homes or too many homes to sell at a profit this government can take real action to improve the lives of people in this country the millions of families who are sleeping in their cars with their children who don't know if they're going to have to place a place to live in a week those people who are working every day paying their taxes contributing to the great wealth of this society all of that wealth and all of the blood and sweat that they put in to building this economy is being siphoned into the pockets of not even the one percent but a point one percent and michael we should mention that today the inspector general's office confirmed that they are looking into freddie mac. also you are u.s. senators today a pro hearing on this on capitol hill do you have faith that they well that this
8:11 pm
investigation will lead to any solutions are or what are your thoughts on this. well i'm sure they'll look into freddie mac. to placate people just like the attorney general here in california looked into the five biggest banks who committed fraud found to have found them to have committed fraud and then basically gave them a hand out and said all of those families that were the victims of fraud well doesn't really matter here's a few scraps from the table for you to be quiet i think that the u.s. government is so tied in with the banks that even tied in an equal basis but i would say the banks actually sit above the government are the ones that are really dictating domestic and foreign policy that absolutely no politician in washington is going to come out with anything strong against the banks it's going to be that people from below organizing to do like what was done today were banks were shut down all over los angeles where people took militant action to send a message to the banks that if they're not going to do anything to help working families if the government is going to do anything to help working families then we
8:12 pm
the people are going to take it upon ourselves to build a movement that's going to build that pressure that forces them to take care of working families michael thank you so much for weighing in and coming on the show that was iraq war veteran michael prysner. well they're all fired up about their guns their god and their goals the biggest of which is to see president obama and his health care program gone for good and every year people just like that come together to talk politics and policy at the conservative political action conference that conference kicked off today right here in washington d.c. and as artie's christie and friends out discovered see pack in many ways is nothing more than a carnival for conservatives. because. you will eventually. come one come all to the thirty ninth annual conservative political action conference. the power for sure this is where conservatives come together. to talk about their
8:13 pm
love of country we have to stand and we have to fight for our freedom their distrust of government i want my liberty back i look around and i see places like for example california they've banned happy meals and their extreme disdain for the president barack obama where is the president's plan to save medicare. let me show it to you here if you don't have one it's a blank piece of paper president obama has not followed through with the founding principles of this country they transcend space we the proper conservatives of europe and time i like to be around american patriots who love this constitution this year though there's a sense of urgency in the world we're a country bleeding we're a country that is you know consumed with apathy and ignorance we're concerned about america. very concerned this is a moment in our nation's history that defines what we are as americans they peddle
8:14 pm
their ideas i believe in auditing everything ever since we lost our aaa rating i think the aaa stands for audit all agencies and their wares we don't do political statements instead we do a conservative you're into it's all about guns the military the bikers go about the religious freedom we have chocolate bags of lies and broken promises all in the name of conservatism so as you can see there is quite a bit of unity but just walking around what we found is that here at sea park just like here in washington there is still quite a bit that people disagree about i support mitt romney i guess i'm backing santorum who was your top choice right harmon's a good friend of mine from god to guns to saving the males well there were even some new presidential candidates floating around if corporations are the same right as people than the logical conclusions they should go to run for president and therefore wal-mart we're putting wal-mart to be the next prez of the united states but seriously for these conservatives it's game time
8:15 pm
the question now is to what extent the energy here will travel this show. is over. in washington perceivers now our team. has helped me a breakdown to see pac three ring circus politician comedian dean dollar joins me now from new york hi there day and so we have been i fell on just of conservatives in attendance at this event your thoughts on the attendees. well i'll tell you i think to me see pak there to see pax to be frank with is the one on the conservative mainstream one which is it's on the right and i might disagree but it's out there then there's the other c pack the crazy people of america convention where they invite people from the lunatic fringe who are in hate groups to speak it to me and i say hate groups are it's not my term that's a southern poverty law center's term and they've been created one hundred seventy one to monitor here groups that have anti-gay speakers and a muslim speaker and the immigrant speakers all there at the same convention were
8:16 pm
mitt romney newt gingrich is that rick santorum numerous other senators and congressman so to me there's a problem when people are like that officials are rubbing shoulders with a group people they should not be there. they are saying that there are extremists walking among about acting. no doubt about i mean you have people like pamela geller and robert spencer people in the family research council who are horribly anti-gay and so the puppy listeners called him out for making statements such as you know gay people are going to lead to child station so they're not just anti-gay marriage they're demonizing gays at the same time some of the most anti muslim anti immigrant one of the leaders of almost almost like a white nationalist group pretty peter bromley speaking about all the problems in america due to immigrants this is actually brainwashing conditioning people to be afraid of all the people who don't look like them and it's all that you know and see back to me you look at that on t.v. it's all different shades of white people very diverse so there's herman cain and
8:17 pm
allen west they are the dark shade the scary pulis and they're the only ones out there and herman cain is speaking i'm not sure what he's talking about i dating tips perhaps to me it really makes no sense they're blowing the line from being a legitimate political convention talk about mainstream conservative is you might agree or disagree but that's fine that's what america's about but the same time you have these people on the far right speaking and they have no place you want to invite them to like the klan and neo nazis in the air in terror brigade because according to the poverty law center that's where they belong they're all the same and also want to talk more about why conservatives are talking about these days you mentioned a few of them earlier abortion and birth control the sanctity of marriage i mean don't we have an economic crisis going on why do they continue to sic to these talking points it's easy they have no answers they couldn't be more i'll view is why you can't create jobs or talk about how you can create jobs or how you.
