welcome to the 200th episode of redacted namely caravan e. well what a time to be alive guys we're all experiencing the same thing right now everyone sitting at home either working or taking care of their kids and wondering the same thing why do we ever wear pants it's never been fully explained to me well pants or no pants we still have a great show for you tonight we're going to cover the quest to find a vaccine a few of the reasons why the country wasn't prepared for the virus and how the relief bill leaves 1st responders out then correspondent natalie mcgill goes into

some mind blowing old news about one very unique american soldier but 1st to go through some recent under the radar stories i'm joined by redacted tonight host lee camp and redacted tonight correspondent anders lee thanks for taking the reins of the show tonight so you know you know i feel a little uncomfortable when you have that suit you know 2 or $300.00 yapper $200.00 goes we did it now we know we've got we're done we're finished with it and we're out of ok let's go home so i have been wondering how have you guys been passing the time with no human contact you know the thing that psychologists recommend to stay sane where you guys been up to i mean luckily i've gone i live with my girlfriend sort of contact with one human for now but i think that might my time is going to soon yeah. i'm either going to be banished to the street or she's going to stop i'm going to be short and i have to get used to the real issue is that he would have like a 60 percent fatality rate or. let's just say that wall the stocks are doing very

poorly but pornhub stock is doing great i think they're doing yeah yeah and harsh or no to get serious for a moment i think that people should focus on how they can help others who you know are not having an easy time with this either either mental health or there's a lot of people who can't easily go out and get their groceries or can't afford them right now if they've been laid off and so i think there we could take a lot of time and you know that might be tougher to we're going to because we're not in person you can't have you know to meetings but you can do is a meeting to do online stuff and so people are putting together those those on an on line docs and things people don't know yet exactly mutual aid to meetings also something i want to get to was we're getting almost no coverage of how the virus is going to affect poor communities or especially developing countries and war torn countries when the virus hit and there's going to hit a lot harder and back when the spanish flu hit about 60 percent of the of the

fatalities were in western india where there was an intense drought that coincided with the flu so do you think we'll ever see yeah you know there's like there's so little talk about how horrific this is going to be or i don't know if it's already happening because the coverage is so terrible but however if it's going to be in countries that are developing or war torn and let's be honest many of them are war torn because of us all right we we have destroyed countries abilities to deal with this i mean how is iraq going to deal with it how's we know iran and venezuela are having an incredibly difficult time because of our economic wars on them and yemen was already dealing with a cholera epidemic and us artillery raining on yeah that's interesting what of that cholera epidemic is going to get started oh maybe because the u.s. with saudi arabia has destroyed their infrastructure and u.a.e. don't forget and i think it depends on which countries too because. china is

technically a developing country but they've been very efficient the chinese government has at stopping the spread of the virus they've eliminated in some places but that's not something we do now italy's deaths have surpassed right now so which some people would also call the developing countries. yeah but you know for for those countries that we don't like we're going to not pay attention to the good things that their governments are doing and for all for all the other ones i think like climate change which is already having devastating effects were just kind of going to look the other way that's that's the reality unfortunately yeah exactly but i did want to get to the kind of pas the inadvertent positive outcomes of the coronavirus quarantine one is that you know people are spending a lot of time at home with their loved ones they're spending a lot of time they're spending a lot of time working out we might come out of this a better looking space not enough but i wonder imagine we're not of alcohol being

drunk right now is this true true you mentioned how prisoners are being set free in some places particularly iran yeah you know another episode yeah what was it california they want to get out a lot of prisoners early yeah because i mean and that's the sad thing is like in prisons there is nothing to stop this ground out of running wild and of course medical treatment in prisons is horrible in america so yeah when it gets in prison that it's already gotten some of them it's going to be terrible and the aging populations in prison too but you also mention climate change which you know it is one of these things where it's like you don't want to say obviously that this is good i don't like seeing people die i don't see people get fired but it's quite possible that the economic downturn and everything slowing down could see you push for more own extinction yes which is slated for like 9 years from now if we kept going and yes actually sign. have been saying deaths from air pollution will should

decrease and about $9000000.00 deaths per year happen because of fossil fuels and other polluters this is the time to speak of climate change like this is something that the right is starting to pick up on you mean we've talked about how they are already the republican party is already kind of outflanking the democrats with with social spending right now are trying to on climate there is a movement on the far right for eco fascism talking about how the influx of immigrants in the united states is you know we can't sustain all these with our with our energy system and i think this kind of ties into that like this sort of the limitation is oh very good service bill use anything for whatever whatever and energy and i mean human energy is that they're going to you know far right wing will jump on it and use it for their means or whatever but i think that we should notice how like there's places in italy right now where you can see the fish in the

water for the 1st time in years because the water's always been through the polluted to murky and you can actually see fish like alive in the water fish or to well yeah and so i'm not saying that all of this is the answer a great let's keep releasing pandemics i'm saying maybe we should look at those places that this is happening and go maybe there is another way to try to run our economies so that we can continue the the i don't know the environmental benefits not working or consuming at the level we are right we can slow things down and that way we don't have to kill people is amazing we just learned how few of our jobs are actually mandatory you know one of the necessary. it's like all mandatory jobs will continue to be done and everybody's like oh that's not me yet again grocery store so necessary you don't really know this isn't a stock. the stock i mean you know you really are true i mean what i did getting

the stock boy in the course of his tour far more important then whatever war machine our pentagon is spending trillions of dollars on have didn't minnesota do something interesting they make good yeah grocery store workers in minnesota are now considered emergency workers so they get free childcare now which is another thing we should have all the time you know and i think that's something politicians are starting to worry about so. we're give exactly the people they're going to after this is over they made or we have to give the cia keep wanting it yeah and that many enjoy these things i mean this is called human rights via a pandemic yeah yeah so in other news our friend growing is that the f.d.a. approved a generic version of the drug monopolised making it by 1000 percent cheaper now she stepped down as c.e.o. in late 2015 and tear prend the medicine still cost $750.00 so if his

successor is having lower the price how much blame should we be putting on the poor old more so this is the pharma brawl right here barbara everyone tomorrow i mean i mean here's the thing it's like yes we should heap shame on the ass but also this is a system run by sociopaths like he was doing he just did slightly more than what your average form a sociopath would do and so he was mocked and that when even when he was locked up for locked up for lying to investors but. i think. it's a screwed up system and really is should the most of the shame should be on the system instead of being like oh it was one bad apple how do you think i yeah if it hadn't been for the ponzi scheme i don't think he would have gone to jail for here and now we have because he defrauded rich people exactly. right and they're continuing to be defrauded now this is business as usual and it's if it's not if there's not an eccentric. behind it you can point to that it just goes under the

radar yeah well back to corona virus i think maybe drug prices will be under more pressure to be at a sane price because of the epidemic we're going through. now i wanted to ask what was the best email update you got about the corona virus and from whom who were you surprised cared about your safety and. as well as these e-mails kept coming in and it was like you know some hot dog vendor i bought from like 3 years ago and we care about people so you have to do what you like don't do it just doesn't need to be about you. hot dog you know good guy is going to be about you yeah i had so many free trials on like plotty studios and spin studios i was just going to hit it and quit it but they really love me now and i feel a little guilty honestly yeah i mean it is funny to see all the restaurants that are letting you know how much they value their employees but they don't tell you if they're actually doing anything to make it up to them or you know you're weighing

them and we value our employees by letting them go yeah i want to write here if you let me set it free right you know my favorite though is this is actually from someone else i saw in someone's landlord e-mailed them in advance of the 1st and said. why don't you pay your rent now get it out of the way. because there's a slight possibility that rent will be frozen and that is true and he's. been checking the news every day like reloading it on brant to go search for the dryer is but i don't know so what do you what are some other stories you think people should be talking about that are and they're not talking about it what else have you seen the redacted side of the corona i mean i mentioned earlier but i think one of the biggest ones is how terrible our sanctions are for these countries trying to fight this thing i mean it. it's like we're getting help from other countries in

dealing with this you know canada and we're using some of china's methods and so it's like isn't this a time we're going to put the rent's on hold isn't this time to put on the victims on hold isn't this time to put our economic destruction of venezuela and iran on hold and let people actually survive there like i don't know it's just so morally bankrupt we're doing a country. really. well there are a lot of there's been some credit given to injury cuomo for trying to freeze student loan payments to do some things to. yeah and he's you know he's talking to his brother on c.n.n. . but something people haven't been mentioning that much is about a month ago he appointed the panel to suggest cuts to medicaid they're known as the medical redesigned team yeah in new york and they carved out a 1000000000 dollars that they're going to shift on to the city of new york so

they're not responsible for it anymore and this is in the midst of you know a crisis that and so far you haven't announced any plans to stop those designers can be really evolved to do that redesign or i think you guys so much but now we have to go to a quick break but we'll be right back with more redacted v.i.p. . a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women cells or bodies on the streets many of them under-age. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge is going to exploit for a child here in los angeles oh they were going to come out as the officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight the 6 trades.

as the election cycle rages on the media highlights or even invents what they deem to be important even radical what they don't tell you is how the political center is collapsing in today's campaign is when voters think about the status quo. your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know what's going to and when it's going to. but they haven't told you and they haven't told me they haven't announced. imagine something as big as the earth is going to cause tidal waves earthquakes volcanoes ago wrapped and it's going to tell . so very for

a while right. my great grandfather's. nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have wallace those should have. a turtle life between now and the. welcome back so how much is trump responsible for this crisis i mean this was so in predictable i don't want to be one of those people who blame strum for everything but trump did dismantle the white house pandemic response team that was part of the national security council a former senior director of the national security council's dissolved pandemic unit said its closure of the united states less prepared for the covert $900.00 out

break. can i mean it could have been worse the president could have disbanded the white house extremely contagious respiratory illnesses that start with a dry cough response team. a reporter you me shell sindoor from p.b.s. asked him about it my 1st question is you said that you don't take responsibility but you did disband the white house pandemic office in and officials that were working in that office left this administration abruptly so what responsibility do you take to that in the officials that worked in that office said that you that the white house lost valuable time because that office wasn't disbanded what do you make of that well i just think it's a nasty question because what we've done is and tony had said numerous times that we saved thousands of lives because of the quick closing and when you say me i didn't do it we have a group of people i could i could ask perhaps it may have been straight should but i could perhaps ask. tony about that because i don't know anything about i mean you

say you say we did that i don't know a thing about it you don't know spending what are you going to say should that happen in the national syrian astray should perhaps they do that you know people let people go you used to be with a different newspaper than you are now you know things like that happen but now steve question from p.b.s. that's a nasty question i mean i don't think so when asked your question what a bit about your divorce he acts like his feelings were hurt by the question and running the white house like a business then there must have been a good reason to fire those people did have did you find like a self check out machine that was better at the liver in coronavirus tests maybe you replace those scientists which with a bunch of switch are now sitting up is that he cut 80 percent of the funding from the c.d.c. maybe the c.d.c. would have had better advice for dealing with illness than just don't get it just sit at home and don't get it. but trump gets to close the borders well he must've been so excited when he found out that he could he could close the borders he must

been as excited as i was when i was told i could work from home i know this is a horrible thing happening but i get to do what i've always dreamed of working in the nude and closing the borders does make sense right now but hostility to foreigners may have hurt us in the end under his administration long before the coronavirus there's been a federal crackdown on chinese scientists some of whom were working on cancer research and some were sent back to china one who was sent back helped invent the fastest coronavirus test that could give you results in 40 minutes well big deal we could have a result back in 2 to 5 days i like not knowing as long as i can and things to the slowdown in testing possible now there's so much blame to go around so let's not focus too much on trum so why don't we have a vaccine yet there's been illnesses that have been around like the coronavirus well the problem is demand is low unless pharmaceutical businesses work alongside

viruses there will be no market for it once it's cured that's why one reason why we're already behind on creating a vaccine is because there's no market for it big pharma is not interested in it of the 18 largest pharmaceutical companies 15 have totally abandoned the research and development of new antibiotics and anti-virals heart medicines addictive tranquilizers and treatments for male impotence are profit leaders not the defenses against hospital infections emergent diseases and traditional tropical killers isn't it nice to know that when we're wiped out as a species will be so happy with the wrecked penises that's going to make for some very funny looking fossils the cyborgs will visit a museum of natural history and get say homo sapiens had really big. you. i think having humans around would be part of their plan but big pharma isn't thinking about the long term of course there's

a lot more to it trials making sure the vaccine isn't dangerous once it's available the government has to provide incredible incentive to get these pharmaceutical companies to work for it by publicly funding drugs and they have since the 2003 sars outbreak the united states has spent nearly $700000000.00 of taxpayer money on coronavirus research more than any other country and it's possible that a vaccine will be developed with the help of public money but it will not be available or affordable because the government grants exclusive licenses to drug companies these exclusive licenses allow drug companies to enjoy a monopoly and charge exorbitant prices for medical technologies developed with public funds also big pharma companies like johnson and johnson and finds are focusing less and less on research and instead of inquiring smaller biotech firms with promising drug candidates that rely on public funding and spending more on

strategies to inflate executive pay they're taking all the credit for government funded research and then saying we should pay the pharma companies because they invented these these medicines we funded it's like it's like we're letting somebody rob us blind and then the charges for prescription medicine to cure our blindness congress made an effort to get prices to where they should be and and they tried to prevent price gouging in the relief bill the pharmaceutical lobby got affordability protections removed from a virus spending bill recently approved by congress which included $3000000000.00 in federal funding for research and development of coronavirus vaccines tests and treatments. why do we have this stupid stupid system that would hold the entire population hostage to big. form of 4 lives well there's a misguided belief that the private sector is the primary driver of innovation and

should reap all the rewards but can you imagine why does someone get into the business of finding a cure for cancer sure money is a factor but i think most scientists would like to show that they've discovered something beneficial to humanity otherwise they're just getting paid to find creative ways to like kill rats also in the 8 point $3000000000.00 relief bill of which big pharma gets a 3rd none of congress's emergency coronavirus funding goes directly to 1st responders for the protective gear and supplies that paramedics firefighters and empties need to safely fight the virus the lack of preparedness may lead to stress on the 1st responders the medical care workers who will be some of the most vulnerable workers in the italy 20 percent of hospital workers contract with the virus and while we're helping the pharmaceutical companies we've abandoned them in 2014 nurses strike to protest ebola preparedness so we may not have nurses but we still have big pharma executives showing up for the job i know one of

them knows the heimlich maneuver very well and he always does it on people who aren't even choking he's simply generous and then that's it for news on v.o.i.p. we now go to correspondent natalie mcgill who covers some mind blowing old news about a very unique soldier 'd. if you like many african-americans in this country who feel screwed over that black history month falls on the shortest month of the year you can do what a lot of people do and constantly about it or you can do what i do game the system and extend black history month by talking about a black woman during women's history month. that woman is cathy williams the 1st black woman known to serve in the u.s. army after she enlisted an $866.00 however when you weren't legally allowed to join the military until the passage of the women's armed services integration act and 148 which meant that in order for cathy to slip by she had to pull off that amanda

bynes from she's the man and disguised herself as a dude for 2 years. oh mom. and if the army didn't know from the jump that she was a woman then that also means the standards for army examinations were comparable to the criteria women needed to meet before becoming george clooney girlfriend meaning that if you were breathing you were pretty much a shoo in before sneaking her way into the army kathy who was born into slavery was eventually forced to serve as a cook and washer for union troops under general philip sheridan following the union capture of the missouri town her master's plantation was on campus parisian for joining the army was perhaps borne out of her daily travels with civil war union troops whom she saw in gauging the successful battle of pea ridge in arkansas

and the not so successful red river campaign in louisiana or maybe she was looking for an alternative to washing the civil war era undergarments of hundreds of sweaty men but we know for sure she joined the military for the same reasons a lot of people join it now they wanted some job security and they were sick of being poor she said as much in an interview with the st louis daily times in january 876 in which you said i want to make my own living and not be dependent on relations or friends. not surprising considering she was born in a town called independence missouri but why did you leave the army as a woman masquerading as a man you have to make some adjustments including changing your name upon and listing which kathy did by changing it from kathy williams to the mysterious and exotic william cathy. what the fuck all she did would swap the 1st and

last name. that's cookies. on nov 15th $866.00 she joined up 30 a few dated states infantry company a which became one of the all black regiments known as the buffalo soldiers while it's unknown whether kathy faced any combat she did spend up to 2 years doing some serious marching through all kinds of weather throughout the midwest and southwestern united states and as a result was hospitalized several times for various ailments including smallpox which hopefully wasn't some kind of weird karmic revenge given that buffalo soldiers initially fought in the indian wars to remove native americans from their land after being in and out of the care of army medics throughout her stint in the military it was a poster jeanette for baird in new mexico who finally discovered she was a woman all along cathy was this charged on oct 14th 868 and later worked as

a cook in new mexico before moving to play ball colorado where she made her living as a seamstress but when her health failed in the 890 s. and she applied for a military pension she was denied on the grounds that she had no disability at all despite the fact that at that time she was suffering from neuralgia diabetes and was the pinned on a walker after having all of her toes amputated she died not too long after her denial of benefits and 893 as of 2016 there were nearly as many black women as there were white women serving in the u.s. army and considering hundreds of women were known to have served in the civil war posing as men the fact that cathy is still known to be the 1st black woman to serve be it illegal or not is pretty mind blowing. so as someone in the dating world it's not so mind blowing that it took so many men for that long to discover her lady parts. this is natalie mcneal redacted tonight that's our show but you can get so
