already so good or bad. we got there before you had the patience and she got to bed now the other patients are going to wait even though they might have more severe problems they might have to wait for a bed for hours. if martin luther king you know even if they just limit their number of beds which they're planning on doing to forty two beds then that's going to be repercussions for everybody so. hopefully it won't get to the point where it's going to be affecting patient care to the point where people are going to be waiting for such long times that they're not going to be getting treated as they should so we'll see what happens. yeah he was actually right check out the vehicle and the passenger. there is no one in the room to this we are the county hospital for the poor and yet we're the trauma center for everyone on the south bay area of los angeles. so it makes no difference if you

have the best insurance in the world or no insurance the next time you're in a traffic accident if god forbid we have an earthquake or bioterrorist attack we are the place that you want to come we're the place you're going to be brought regardless of where you want to come and if we're overcrowded have no gurneys you're going to be in trouble you're not going to get the kind of care that you deserve. it's not the train wrecks that really scare us and keep us up at night it would scare the scene keeps this up at night is that essentially a pandemic flu it will take about. twelve hours before every hospital your is overwhelmed. him or her life very hard for her that if you want to go that route they prefer porter yeah you know well now you said have you heard of the emergency rule there's another way we can do your the emergency room right now. well can't they help me there at the emergency room. a lot of times they

think oh no i want you to take us in the ambulance because we'll be seen faster in the e.r. . into the emergency room and was would be transported from one hospital to the other because you know use an i pod he would present theories are you want to go to kaiser no. there's one way we can do that here and now one of those was. with a tool that was developed and like any tool you if you don't have a set of instructions along with a tool is going to be misuse and abuse and eventually you don't break.

it up with water from. the metal characters you're already adopted on a moment in there and i'm trying to get an interpreter for you certainly movement film and i want to get sketch but i want to merge here clean. the yard by the time of his job alone doesn't give him the love that it was all day on the emergency room my wife is about is dying and then there's a don't want to help her out ok what i really want to be in the fight against the obama team blood ok and why aren't they helping or yeah i'll go watch it or who did you know doing it or going to just watch it or ok eat eat the contact the nurse or doctor let them know bombing blood they don't believe they're not going to let him in if he's causing

a problem you need to contact the county police officers at the security dept there was no doubt medics are not going to pick him up or pick is why apart from optical coaches are already at one. one to q one. with the persian gulf a little bit on the ground. well. the. one. thing that i think that that. going to prevent. their lives than that of the other you're not you're at the hospital ma'am. i cannot speak for you for the quality of the hospital they're very likely to want to use for murder. it is not a murder. maybe they're ok well that's not a criminal thing with the. contract offer. we.

just blank i want to use only where. it is not. a hit. for ever after that incident we actually have patients who are actually not in the e.r. but in the ward but they're not getting timely treatment in the world they want more pain medication don't pick up the phone and dial nine one one so we're sending the m s captain out to the eighteenth floor of the hospital to provide more pain

medication for patients inside there you know you go i want to see you over there are five fires paramedics are incredible you know we make that we're constantly doing training and more training more training and they stepping up to fill that gap but is that what we want as a society for the fire department to become the health care system. that. a big part of the fix is more primary and preventive care if the people with diabetes and high blood pressure get treated early then they don't come in here with heart attacks and strokes just. so you know about them is that it yes i know a lot of that. but even then you go pretty much yaquis you love in an ideal world for us need to open up those county clinics today so we have some place for individuals will walk into before they become in crisis and need actually and i want to service it all comes down the phones but it's a catch twenty two you know situation so what we did here fire season sixty five

we've managed to more risk use that we can put into place if things get really bad which they do a lot here. is it a band-aid yes but is this on the mandate we have right now be able to serve everybody in this community. going to. let.

them cut cut. cut cut. cut cut cut cut no no no no no that the president are going to. come together. to get it right.

but i define it as a strive for failure australia if you want to tell me i know you're still on the way thank you see the film on screen if you want to have sex go and have sex. wealthy british style. markets why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy

with mike's cancer there are no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report on r g.

he's long and a little diplomacy on the side as tensions between israel and iran reach a tipping point is that guys movement is performing a balancing act trying to prevent what many say is an inevitable war we'll speak to the founder. it was very. very revolutionary very successful and i think it was extremely important. modern. it's the protests that change the course of the labor movement here in the u.s. seventy five years later we take a look back at the flint to sit down strike and show you how the issues workers fought for then are still relevant today. president obama has the most

effective food stamp president in american history leave it to newt gingrich to blame a national crisis on one man meanwhile millions of americans are living hand to mouth and using food stamps to survive and it's not just the poorest of the poor that need a helping hand well explain. the government of the united states shreds your rights every day it tops our cellphones it reads our e-mails it's judgment day for andrew napolitano fox business network has cancelled his show free to watch but was a poor ratings or as a libertarian viewpoint that made fox finally let his mike. it is friday february tenth four pm in washington d.c. i'm christine you're watching arctic. once again with the rising tensions between

israel and iran sanctions put into place by the united states and the european union are starting to hurt the people of iran in a major way with access to food and other imports blocked now the west hopes that the pain will bring iran back to the bargaining table in terms of its nuclear program in the meantime israel is stepping up its threats that an attack on iran may be in imminent with israel's defense minister a good bra drawing a line in the sand he calls it the quote zone of immunity the point at which israel could no longer put off taking action but in the west of first efforts to isolate iran india has announced it will send a delegation into iran and has now emerged as the number one customer of iranian oil now there are new indications china also will send in officials and this global chess match looks like it may be a messy one and a long one well peter joseph is the founder of the guys movement his group works to tackle some of the toughest issues global economic crisis to diplomatic issues and

a lot more he just returned from israel. hey there peter i know you spent about a week there talk to me a little bit about your impressions of israel of the people you spoke to and what's going on there. well thank you christine for having me so israel's in a very complex state on one side you have a very intelligent public that is not representative of the state that's causing all of these general warlike interests interest in the occupation the prisons of the west bank and gaza and everything else that i'm sure we've talked at length to death about so you know it's important to initially point is an incredible culture there that really does not represent the state and in the speech that i gave to a sold out audience full of not only israelis but palestinians there is a general interest to want to see all of these problems stop and the movements attempt broadly speaking is to get the world to come together with the general foundation that these issues have to find resolution holistically or we're going to have some very very caustic problems in the future world war three the first to

mention and when you say these issues as you say i mean war is one of these issues and it's not just as simple is should we have war or should we i mean there is. you know number one a huge defense industry both in the u.s. and israel you know that a lot of people say may have an interest in war i know you've written about in the past you know as far as consequences of war you've said that it benefits the upper class and it results in the denigration of the lower class talking about this divide as it relates to war and if you think there's an undercurrent of something else here other than a legitimate threat. we often hear the term geopolitics the correct term is geo economics. if you go down to the foundation of the state neuroleptic revolution ten thousand years ago suddenly we had we went from hunter gatherer type of nomadic societies to fixed cities mesopotamia suddenly the introduction of the permanent military you ended up with this sort of corporate approach to economic management

defined as the state which invariably generates imbalance and conflict of the necessity to override the interests of other states very similar by the way to how our economic principles work across the world through the corporate enterprise in the free for all markets i often refer to it it's a competitive warlike system so in the broader scope what do we expect when the states begin to behave this way if you were to look at a map of all the territorial disputes all the resource acquisitions all the end exemptions going going through history it's one massive affair of warfare thousands and thousands of wars that have existed for the past five thousand years that have been noted so the problem is much more underlined we can talk about the specifics of the israeli palestinian conflict we can talk about the chinese russia and iranian issue with respect to power development against us israel canadian and western interests which is very terrifying by the way especially given the financial burden and collapse we're seeing across the world which is always

a characteristic of warfare on the horizon but underneath the whole thing is the economic premise and until we find economic resolution until we begin to learn how to share our resources speaking poetically but very literally so we can to define a new level of what we see as peace meaning a collaborative effort not state entities seeking their own advantage over each other but something new which i could talk at length as well and we're not going to see any resolution to any of these issues and that's a fundamental premise and part of the type of economic reforms is like a movement pushes forward with what was your reasoning peter for taking this and i know you've got a lot of followers and from around the world what was your reasoning for going physically to israel and speaking there. well because it is the hotbed of a great deal of tension in the world it's seen as one of the most pivotal crises and positions of destabilization in the world it was symbolic to go there and to speak on the issue of war and the lecture that i gave was on the broad definition

of the state it's it's it's evolution as i mentioned in prior just a moment ago and how we really can resolve this issue so i went there for symbolic reasons but also obviously because of the growing tensions between between these massive super powers that are now dividing themselves as i mentioned earlier that can very easily trigger another world war which is what terrifies all of us those are the few levels then you've laid out there you've laid out some of these problems and i think that there for anyone who sort of is following what's going on keeping their hand on the poles of sort of geopolitics here as you say geo economics. these issues are out there but you know are there solutions available and i guess i mean or do you just think war is inevitable between iran and the west well i'm not a prophet but i will say that generally speaking war has been the never the bull for a long time based on the very nature of the structures that have been installed and the very dynamic of our economic system are there are solutions that can be had in

the meantime yes but i don't think they're going to come from speaking truth to power as they say i am in deep support of a large grassroots global movement that unifies humanity to step up against this rather sick distortion that is emerged throughout power across the board we can talk about the neuroses of the us empire we can talk about the neuroses of various or arabic states of israel as well we can talk about all of these things to death as far as the specifics but at the very core of this comes a deep social change that's required and it's going to take a scratch or its movement to move this forward i have little faith in the change coming from coming from the state empires well we understand that you'll be working on it in the meantime peter joseph founder says that geist movement. thank you what talk about an increasing problem in this country related to these tough economic times and unemployment rate above eight percent and also tough decisions having to be made by so many americans about where to cut back now in many cases people are

forced back to cut what cut back what and when they eat and according to presidential candidate newt gingrich this is a decision they're making in large part because of president obama president obama is the most effective president in american history the fact is that more people have been put on food stamps by bronco bamma than any president in american history . all right as we know there are many reasons people go on food stamps that we don't have to get into at this moment but i do want to talk about who is on food stamps in many cases it's people who have come from good jobs and stable families and never imagined they'd be in this place today one of those people is christopher cook he's a mid career journalist and has had a tough time getting as much work as he needs but he's documented his struggles and his decision to apply for food stamps he's the author of diet for a dead planet big business and the coming food credit crisis. hey there on tell us

a little bit about where and how you knew it was time to apply for food stamps oh well thanks for having me you know. i've known for quite some time given my own personal situation that i was sliding closer and closer toward a very precarious situation financially. and this is again a more structural long term issue both for writers and journalists in america increasingly who are squeezed out of the industry now out of the economy. to of course for a growing number of americans we now it's like forty six million plus americans on food stamps today. in my own case which is not unusual at all. you know you find that your income doesn't match your costs and costs down they always go up. income has remained fixed. or gone down in real dollars for myself

in american and you know at a certain point you realize that now. you know what about these attacks that we've seen from the right i'm you know we just saw this thing from newt gingrich also sean hannity on fox news he says you know unlike people with the quote entitlements nine lines that he'd never want to go on food stamps do you chris have the entitlement mindset. absolutely not but i think that at the same time you know i think that whole word in the whole framing of that is really problematic. you know we don't talk about military spending as an entitlement and the people there's so much both from the political leaders. mainly republican been but many democrats too and many ordinary americans have of ignorance and judgment about the situation that people are in when they go on food stamps people not just myself people who are who are much less fortunate so who find themselves with absolutely nowhere else to turn

no saving rear no family support network support network and you that i'd like to see some of these politicians and i know. what they would do if they left in this situation you know i ran this income calculus was on the web about mitt romney's income compared to mine and it's both sad and funny i mean it would take a mitt romney somewhere around six hours hours to earn what i earn in a year and at the same time it would take me about fourteen hundred forty four years and some change to make what he meant wow so there is and it's just remarkable i don't i don't want to make i don't need to make what he makes yeah that's interesting when you when you put it in those terms certainly different regions of this country face different issues but i want to focus for one second about what's on what's happening in alabama now under a new immigration law some u.s. born children with parents who are illegal immigrants these children have been

denied food stamps even though the food stamps are for the children who are citizens talk a little bit about that issue that we're seeing right now. it's incredible i mean it's the same it's the same political vein that goes about blaming people who are at the very bottom create an income you know states across the u.s. where there's several pennies they tax on immigrants children of immigrants welfare recipients food stamp recipients remarkable because you know all these people are at the very economic bottom of society and the actual factual reality is that they work incredibly hard just to survive and in the case of immigrants especially not immigrants who are at the bottom because they do some of the toughest dirtiest jobs that nobody else seems to want to do we're going to do they do them for rock bottom wages which is why many. go on food stamps not just

unemployed people and at the same time you know they pay their taxes. you know their money goes directly into the economy the same way there's this whole judgement about emphasis it's throwing away money you know this is actually in the direct economics you know i get and others get the food stamp payments and they may go into the food retail sector and so this creates or enables payne's jobs in the food retail sector i'm not saying we should all be on food stamps things that they are a vital basics of for people just to get by until they can do something you know them and be a little better off financially more stable and they feed the economy in a direct way and you know in the case of them i mean they're constantly there's no other word for it they're just being scapegoated for a much larger economic crisis and is certainly interesting when you look at the alternative which is letting people go hungry interesting discussion that

christopher cox author of diet for a dad planet. thank you well tomorrow marks the seventy fifth anniversary of the end of the flint sit down strike this is a big deal guys and really really interesting we're talking tens of thousands of people banding together to fight for better working conditions in u.s. auto manufacturing plants so it all started when the united auto workers union targeted two general motors plants and workers showed up at work and sat down inside so new workers can come and replace them nearly shut down the company and before long other plants followed suit and well you could say it's a while but they got the attention of the big boys the heads of the auto makers let's fast forward to today this year many of the same issues will come up again as the subject of unions is back up for debate anti-union wisconsin governor scott walker faces a recall election because of his policies but as we said here many states across the country are working hard to dismantle the rights so many fight for today and

also fought hard for seventy five years ago take a look. started in late december nineteenth thirty six workers that two general motors plants in flint michigan found their working conditions unbearable long hours no time for bathroom breaks and excessively cold conditions in the winter and hunt in the summer there were people who were dropping over because of the heat and the other workers were told just step over them until we can get them out of the way. they didn't they didn't slow down the line they didn't stop it. so the workers stopped at themselves coming into work and sitting down it was it was technically very revolutionary and very successful and i think it was extremely important in creating the modern way john crawford works long hours on an assembly line today for the same company that was targeted in the sit down strike general motors workers have been down for forty four days workers

stayed put as their employers turned off the heat and blocked food deliveries it was the dead of winter but still they stayed sean crawford great grandfather was one of them. was actually. several times has just broken on two occasions. because he was the question what a very what started into manufacturing plants in flint michigan seventy five years ago is spread throughout the country with workers from both in and out of the auto industry taking part you could say it was the original occupy movement. the men the similarities are eerie. from the occupation itself.
