tv   Watching the Hawks  RT  September 12, 2018 12:30pm-12:57pm EDT

12:30 pm
anniversary of nine eleven and the media has honored it by referring to al qaeda as largest affiliate in history and syria said leave as rebels and mourning their looming defeat. so they're all were mourning the before. remember folks the constructed enemy of your propped up and the body is still ultimately your enemy and you would know that if you were always watching. what you did the. real thing was. at the bottom. like you said i got. the. regular border watch from the hawks i am told that and have
12:31 pm
a flawless so top of the incredible day obviously. but wow really we're backing. down that's apparently what we do. i mean you see though this cycle you know it's interesting to live through an entire cycle of this and obviously it's something that other people have talked about from vietnam war to again the iraq war where they're seeing people about what they were fighting now become leader is and defacto the victim and the fight against terrorism. yeah i don't know how to sort of i get really upset and i get that it's it's that thing where you can get you trying to get your emotions involved and you try to look at it intellectually but then you look at it intellectually and in this situation it's even more infuriating when you look at it intellectually. so we you know we said there's
12:32 pm
a lot of you know there are. a seat at the philly. and these are mostly things that the groups that grew out of out of al-qaeda and what happened during the iraq. war and sort of have spread throughout. you know it's sort of. like starbucks not to have it everywhere except it's terrorist groups and the u.n. doesn't made a terrorist group was that was formally known as. you know a new shura because obviously the u.s. government wants to give them lots of guns all the time to get their help which again. it's a strange thing to go. and they're said to be digging in and they don't want to leave though you know there's but there's one person's and i mean you say you know someone else is that one person's terrorist is someone else's freedom fighter but they're not fighting for anybody's freedom they're taking it away from the people. exactly correct i mean look do you remember the washington post reporting the latest version of al nusra. and its partners of actually erected
12:33 pm
gallo's around it lead province for the public execution of traitors and anyone who wants to negotiate an exit of the city like you said they're digging in and from what i understand they control like sixty percent of a lot of the city about three million people in there and what i understand the history of it is the kind of what came. in the initial way we don't want you know we're going to you know rebelling against assad's government they kind of came in took over because they were the biggest baddest on the block being. you know. running the city into the ground. you know there was an amnesty international report that documented the abuse of armed forces controlling the cities of love and then as we knew before aleppo. it was titled torture was my punishment abductions torture and summary killings under armed group rule in aleppo and adlib syria the amnesty report says that armed groups opposing the syrian government have
12:34 pm
committed serious violations of international humanitarian law including abductions torture and summary killings. of the people that were bought of war. you know if they get killed in this huge fire for what we're not supposed to care about the millions of people who are stuck in this situation and being held and that's what bothers me because you know god forbid if it's some sort of mildly socialist leader or somewhere in south america who just wants people to be able to you know not. ruined by you know corporations or governments these people need to be these are just their dirty dirty rebels and they don't want them in their. opposition it's all negative connotation and yet in this one you're saying al qaeda because helping a terrorist and training them to be even worse to fight after someone else has never a bit nuts cept with osama bin laden. it's kind of a big watch thing hold circles around you and. move on sure but i want to ask you what quickly you know you you lived you were in new york and you were one of the
12:35 pm
people there this character right with you what do you think of the. way i we were in for. you know believe me i am i am very anti-war and part of because i don't when you see that when you see the pain and when you you know it's it was it was one of those things that there's just like collective mourning. that you never you never want to see it again but it also makes you realize that there is a moment where i had at that time it was my israeli friends it was my egyptian friends it was a lot of my friends who lived in places where they grew up seeing things like car bombs and people dying and that it wasn't all that odd you know and they were the ones who helped me through it because they said this happens every day like i've been through this i know what you're doing and that made me realize that what we were experiencing what you can do with it is to help those people who have it even worse peace before you as we preach from watching the hawks please peace before.
12:36 pm
while the rest of the healthier civilized world practices some level of socialized medicine we are in the united states to continue to plow our way forward down the road. good i'm randian power of privatized health care despite the fact that the united states has the highest rate of deaths amenable to health care among comparable countries meaning deaths that could have been prevented with proper health care that doesn't stop their whole care industry from still worshipping the almighty dollar over there have a crowd of goats artie's monticello it has even more startling numbers for you. a recent study by the moran company found that one in five hospitals in the us spike medication prices by at least seven hundred percent this means that if a hospital purchased his medication for the cost of one hundred fifty dollars that cost for the patient could be up to one thousand and fifty dollars in some instances that markup was even higher one in twelve hospitals mark up the drugs over a thousand percent this is important as drug prices continue to rise president trump
12:37 pm
has already addressed the issue in may of this year trump released american patients first the plan to lower drug prices and reduce patient out of pocket costs american drug companies spend millions of dollars in lobbying and according to the center for responsive politics just last year their lobbying efforts totaled a staggering one hundred seventy one point five million dollars the moran company also noted that almost fifty percent of medicare hospitals in the us participate in the three forty drug pricing program this was created in one thousand nine hundred two to help vulnerable or uninsured patients access prescription medicines at safety net facilities now according to the study the average mark up at three forty b. hospitals hospitals out of discounted prices on covered outpatient drugs is likely higher and could be the cause for driving up health care costs and given the state of the opioid crisis president trump is calling on the justice department to bring
12:38 pm
a federal lawsuit against big pharma companies who are abusing the law very very true. courage which up to the roots grow through strong growth we're. but in our country it's discrimination and we can stop it we can certainly make a big dent and with the overprescription of antibiotics and medicare discounts a group of hospitals are pushing their way into big pharma with our x. the new nonprofit generic drug company that's taking initiative to offer generic prescriptions at a cheaper cost their priority lies in making drugs that have been on the f.d.a. shortage of list and those that have higher prices because they have no competition now according to the journal of the american medical association brand name drugs make up a whopping seventy two percent of drug spending across the u.s. but as concerns continue to grow over the rising drug prices we may be seeing more hospitals turning to the not for profit generic drug company in washington thera montecito r t. one. spittles
12:39 pm
boost up the cost of service resolder the cost recharge it costs one hundred per cent higher than what is highway robbery you know there are books of the room number back in the ninety's when it came out the hospitals were charging one hundred dollars for aspirin. nothing strange they just got better at it they figured out even better ways as they charge ridiculous amounts for simple things to it seventy five eighty five eighty five one hundred dollars for sale. for a white for those if you really look at your bill when you go in the hospital and it's astronomical it's a really good it speaks to i'm sorry you can call me a dirty evil socialist but the day i'm sorry. life liberty the pursuit of happiness you can't have liberty and the pursuit of happiness without life you can't have life without proper health care and right now we're failing at
12:40 pm
that our privatized version of the system has failed it's done what more evidence do we need at this point that doesn't work i mean. no i mean i'm just going to say i mean look at you know we have more and more health problems in this country than we did twenty years ago yes we have more obesity more heart disease more and you know what the only thing we can get the f.d.a. or anybody to do about it is to complain about coconut oil. you know i mean that's where you're concerned. people who literally are dying of cancer left and right and for entire families being taken out more worried about coke and i don't know let me drop this on really quickly because these numbers are pretty incredible to when you look at the rising cost of health care i mean the united states health care spending is projected to rise by point three percent twenty eighteen the u.s. centers for medicare and medicaid services estimated twenty seven thousand spending was a four point six climbed nearly three point five trillion and i was going to jump up to five and it gets even worse yes because what they're saying is there's
12:41 pm
a lot of numbers in between but ultimately what what's coming out is the c.m.s. projected that by twenty twenty six health care spending is projected that it will reach five point seven trillion trillion with a t wow all right as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered a facebook and twitter see our poll shows at our t.v. dot com coming up sean stone sits down with mark stage the director of studies for the institute for medical studies to discuss the gore factor and then texas finally lifted the oppressive bad. swords sores lead strange esoteric thought some sword play coming up next stop watching the hawks.
12:42 pm
join me every week on the all excitement show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still pretty meaningless with video. scrolling needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took part in this today over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic.
12:43 pm
ministries police forces and city administrations of many countries depend on one corporation like was helping the boy doesn't come from the president. this is not the guns. into the sea it's a. proprietary software you don't know the source code isn't that such a security risk. when you have a black box operating the public id microsoft dependency puts governments on to cyber threats not only. is it still in the lead one of the rules to. the suit who will do. this is the.
12:44 pm
one who started on. the old days from stop and it was a student who was a fund is up and these cards of the. free speech in the united states is a delicate thing despite being and trying that our very first amendment to the constitution currently the debate over free speech on social media platforms is reached a boil politicians like mike warner out of virginia been putting the pressure on social media companies to clean up their act and just recently social media giants like twitter and facebook are once again that called in front of congress to answer to what they're doing to police political speech on their platforms in order to protect the supposed thank to be of the midterms from evil russian me in this recently in august tyrol sat down with famed journalist and writer for rolling
12:45 pm
stone matt taibbi to discuss his article on the slippery slope of social media censorship and government pressure that is driven facebook into the arms of the atlantic council take a listen to the corporate policing of free speech. and political content of the kind of this manifesto itself you know recently was going to facebook executives teaming up with others of the atlantic council to decide you know what is fake news and bad political speech and what is good news and good political speech. how many different ways is this a really bad idea. it's unbelievably scary. and. even if you take the worst case scenario view of what happened in two thousand and sixteen with russian meddling. this is a separate. and extremely terrifying political development that has been going on for a long time even independently again of the russia story because a huge part of what's happening now with this whole situation with facebook zapping
12:46 pm
sites that you know some think tank full of x. see if people like the atlantic council that would would not be possible had not. the news landscape been extremely concentrated in the hands of the century two actors now would like seventy plus percent of the district distribution of news in this country is either facebook or google so if you have a government. group meeting with facebook to decide what news to distribute and what not that's essentially like a you know a government run censorship program and we've never had anything even close to that except in wartime in this country and this is this is it's an extraordinary development and there's a there's a lack of. like a lot of things is i think there's a lack of an ability to see the forest for the trees here because you know down the road you know having the white house and the congress meet with facebook decide
12:47 pm
what news we see i mean that is pretty fast and that's less was so frightening and you know. given the you know the i don't think we ever really saw this coming or we didn't read again lack of foresight that you know when you suddenly had facebook the internet you know social media pro you don't chat group you know all of that kind of come up in this kind of unrestrained free speech at the market i don't think anyone predicted it would get to the level that was out today even back then . how is that changed how we need to view the first amendment because normally first amendment is a pretext. free speech from government you know government can't tell you what you can or can't say. allows private industry which is you know facebook snapshot all these and they can decide what you can accounts they can start a group private industry how do we keep free speech if suddenly corporations are going to decide what is for speech it's a very important question i think one of the things that people need to understand
12:48 pm
is we had we had a pretty decently functioning system for a long time in this country that was based on the idea that bad or noxious or libelous or defamatory speech we dealt with in a very specific way through litigation we deliberately set the bar very high to prove what libel or defamation was going back to like nine hundred sixty four. but when the internet came along we created a carve out for internet companies and we essentially the law is called the communications decency act i think and this law basically says that you cannot hold an internet carrier responsible for the defamation or the libel that takes place on your platform so that means is all this speech flowered on all these platforms and you can't sue the companies for it so it created the shield for defamatory libelous
12:49 pm
fake speech everything right. and people are now overreacting in the other direction they're saying there's no natural. way to go back and suppress this so now we need to just appeal to them to be been a benevolent censors for us and that's the really dangerous thing would be if looking two years down the road or the next election cycle down the road rather than thinking in terms of like what happens fifty years from now right yeah no i think that's. it's it's like it's a common problem that's going on across politics right now which is that people are not thinking about the long term implications of things you know these sort of embrace of surveillance tools right leg where does that lead if we let that go on you know unimpeded without any oversight for another twenty years you know like are they going to continue to sort of push the envelope on what they're allowed to do what they're not allowed to do like people aren't realizing how quickly things can
12:50 pm
develop in a negative direction because america has never really had the experience of sliding into full blown to you know totalitarianism or something like that but the technical ability for something like that to happen is there you know and i think that people need to worry about that like it was a snowden so it's turnkey dictatorship is kind of already on the books i just haven't had the group come in to really do it right right it's it's there it's there it's possible and all it would take would is a little bit more acquiescence from the population on some on some key issues and this frankly to me this is a big one like the censorship one like it happened last week and it was almost like the entire media landscape just sort of shrugged about it and i was amazed by that it is it is truly amazing last i want to ask you september is coming up which actually i think marks the ten year anniversary of two thousand and eight crashing when lehman brothers fell or of september fourteenth or fifteenth or whatever was yeah yeah yeah i mean it was going on since two thousand and eleven but that's kind
12:51 pm
of the ten year mark. what have we learned in the last ten years from the bottle nothing yeah yeah and that and i've been hearing i've been hearing about this for about a year now that a lot of the same behaviors that we saw prior to two thousand and eight with the mortgage markets are going on in some other markets you're seeing you know an explosion of commercial lending instead of instead of mortgage backed c.d.o. as you're seeing. commercial loans with c.l. lows this time corporate borrowing has just now gone above the levels the preachy thousand and eight levels that we have it once again a giant pile of leverage just sitting atop the economy. you know it maybe they'll have more of a read on it this time and it won't happen but. i think the failure to really institute appropriate rules last time creates a lot of danger that it could happen again. while most of the united states has
12:52 pm
been debating gun laws on the effectiveness and danger danger of concealed carry permits last year texas decided to go old school cohen and old school and pass a bill h.b. one nine three five or better known as the sword and carry bill introduced by texas state representative republican john for low yes age b. one nine three five legalizing texas residents right to carry and public swords and knives specifically any knives whose blades are longer than five point five inches this list includes the legendary jim bowie knife dagger stilettos throwing nice machete swords and spears but for all you large birds a knife aficionados you can't just take them anywhere your swords and bowie knives are still banned in schools universities airports racetracks hospitals nursing homes amusement parks religious buildings just to name a few of the places on the very very long list so the next time you find yourself in texas and you see is on karen at three five broadsword just a robber can be only on. one no move or move but
12:53 pm
texas was so hungry to carry a sword i mean it seems like a really long list so people know that's a sword free zone don't you think there's going to that's where the i mean i'm just a. sore brit so nursing homes or even some of tell you about the bring abroad sort of numbers will rise out of his first show for did it hurt remember every one of them was world we're not told the rule of the law of sorts or you well i love you i am a robot and i'm part of the lawless people watching dogs in the great the matter what . anyone else seems wrong. one old rule just told. me you
