9:30 am
i don't believe they're going to protect me when the time comes so the only way you can protect yourself is by protecting yourself. here sitting in front of a blast proof bunker made by the us army during world war 2 it is 2200 square feet. is very large but it's not the only one. there's $575.00 of them around me stretching out 6 miles it leaves directions at 3 miles in these directions. nobody was able to figure out what to do with the ones empty bunkers. but finally
9:31 am
one of the ranchers that owned this section called me and said would you be interested i have 575 bunkers we are now building this into the world's largest survival community with as many bunkers as we have we will eventually have 5 to 10000 people here ringback ringback. it will take them up on i think beyond us and link up where the guy smoked gouda both man. and run out of on something happened to the generator for you. know. so i'm running off in my solar things out there's a lot of sun today so everything is soft light some fine. say a food. now also have my baby in chicago
9:32 am
that really helps me now and she works and. if i remember struggling she will help me out and she's been. incredible help to me because i met her when i moved here before like 3 or 4 months before i moved here and i told her i said look i'm not here i quit my job i'm leaving you know we can start this and one thing led to another and we started going strong and i love her and she's eventually going to get here. but. should you be like. ok this is both a just a go. there you go it's put your looks. this is all kim's life for you just stuff you didn't
9:33 am
have any gasoline to do with gasoline yet you do it all. the salt in the drink a little bit here we got some good water here. lookin good let me check the temperature on this again. like you can't go a little bit keep your freezer gone. house. shadow where you shadows she's busy i want to sit down look at the t.v. here for a little bit oh oh well yeah we get some new here i did put a camera and put the antenna on top. there's a bunker when i've 1st cancer here. i have to look at it and look at i painted the inside but i lost the gallon of paint i don't know why i lost a gallon of paint and it's all over me and my great grandfather's colt.
9:34 am
they were officers of our name off the face of her constable before world war one when name a gun right afterwards they start stamp and i'm out there's what the hell. your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know what's going to happen and when it's going to. but they haven't told you and they haven't told me they haven't announced it because if they were to announce it right now and tell you that in one year on a certain date the catastrophe is going to happen. the world would suddenly stop people would panic society would break down and nobody would go to work nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have lawlessness should have. a
9:35 am
terrible life between the and. a lot of the pictures here are original so you can see all these pictures are were drawn here in the fifty's the forty's. and i came to my bunker and i told these incredible pictures storm window frame everything after and slate everything on a cut off here for every picture i have now. and frame it out so i can kind of show all the artwork that was done is incredible were i get this lady here is from hawaii because she has a live me and she looks the wind. and i told people do you have enough. if
9:36 am
something happens for a day have enough food if something happened for today 3 dates have you ever tried not eating for a day have you ever tried not eating for 2 days you know so i try to. open people's minds to the reality that you know your government is going to protect you are going to get hit the fan. you guys are going to be you going to die because you think i haven't eaten for 2 hours i'm going to die and you're going to die because you're putting that in your head and you're going to eventually die. i am the 1st one to dedicate to doing something like this. i feel this is my calling. i feel this what i've been preparing for my life. so i took the chance then. moved here you know you can stay here you work on your bunker every day.
9:37 am
and we got this light color right here when you come into the door here and the closet i'm going to be putting up here is actually a mirror and it's actually a tan colored mirrors kind of a copper colored mirror and now we can see yourself when you come in or see yourself leaving and a mirror gives its respective. perspective for. maybe a little bigger in here you know it's a small room. right now i have 40 foot floor down sub floor and. the contest it would compress the wood floor. once i get phase one done. that would mean the great room the kitchen in there the galley the vance. pantry room.
9:38 am
the bathroom now my bathroom actually will have a 12 volt. and cost me $1100.00 toilet. itself composite the to your waist the gray water goes out down this way. and you take that waste your bottom waste and put it in a barrel and a year later you can use it you date it you use it later and you can use it in your garden. we sell the bunker for $35000.00 currently and that will continue to go up as we run out of supply everybody's heard of the cold war the cold war is over but the holy word is. any big city anywhere in the world you don't know
9:39 am
your neighbor you don't know the guy that's 5 miles down the street that has a gun and he's a criminal and he's a gang member and when everything happens the lights go out 1st thing he's going to do is go to the t.v. store and break in and take all the t.v.'s then after that they're going to get hungry so they're going to go to the supermarkets and they're going to take everything in the market off the shelf will be nothing within 24 hours. and then after about 3 days to a week they're going to be very high. and then they're going to come knocking on your door. to say what do you got whatever it is. we want it. and they're going to take it from.
9:40 am
the old military bigger excess were they all we all used to see told people that used to the military guys used to run this town because this used to be over 1500 military families here at one time so with big these were all pyrex everyone you can there is here this place you can be nothing but the big beautiful homes and now look it is torn there's still beautiful things from your new. a lot of people know but this this location is very filled with. is a is. an element that extracts nuclear. radiation you can like. the nuclear waste and i think that's why they put this here because it's so concentrated was really and if you do have an explosion the
9:41 am
9:42 am
there's fights against women or more on nonwhite so it's it's it's always you know the idea is that statements that directed toward a privileged group are interpreted differently than a statement directed toward an oppressed group and so that's kind of the whole framework and it's a it's a political framework that's used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and say well rather than or the more than we need to call attention to them but it's not all slice so it's a very political in its contents.
9:43 am
we're presently sitting in central kansas which is the site of a intercontinental ballistic missile base that was part of the cold war era and this particular site was a at was after missile silo which was good clear hardened and i purchased this site in 2008 with the idea of converting it into a nuclear hardened bunker. the idea to go after a luxury bunker and design a facility like that became in the sas in the early on in the conceptual design phase because we realized that with the relatively small number of units that we
9:44 am
could put into that facility they would have to be at a higher price point. in the number one criteria that came up and that was a lot of people would say why need a bunker that would protect me and my family for 4 to 6 months and then the next guy would command and say well i was thinking that point needs something for at least a year and then someone has a what if we have a global climate change that wiped out crops for zir so we had to be in there for years so we quickly got feedback from potential customers. that had a really big span and timeframe. i know or in kansas. we decided to make people feel comfortable that are from the coastal welcome to the beach. so one of the things you don't expect to see in an underground bunker is an indoor
9:45 am
swimming pool this is 75 feet long and holds 50000 gallons and it's a salt water pool it's all computer controlled and maintained. so here we is a cross section of the this is the dome of the where we just to tour the cooler ocean we can go level medical and security the store level hydroponics and then are stress eventually levels for 5 through 11 and then there's a library in classroom and that's your side since follow a theater and pontian storage. this is the hydroponics level one we're on the lower level there's another identical configuration this room right above us these circular tanks all over here roughly half of the room are all for raising columbia
9:46 am
these pipes shaped lower tanks are all for growing plants this half of the floor opposite the security is our medical facility so and here we have a full pharmacy we've got everything from radiation drugs in. iodine pills and likes and things like that that's what stored in here then we have a full dental office and we have a medical exam room. and we even have a hospital and procedure room so we can actually do minor surgeries i personally think it's better to depend on yourself than the government for protection so if you can you know what we will do what's the downside here the downside is your family might not survive because you made the wrong choice of being prepared you thought that the government was going to take care of you and if you make those arrangements then. you still have a backup plan if you fail then maybe the government's there but if you come in the government may fail but your backup plan so i would try to do it myself.
9:47 am
and maybe in your schoolyard play when the signal. signal means to stop whatever you are doing and get to the nearest safe place. always remember i shot an atomic bomb can come at any time only know the bomb can explode any time of the year day or night is ready for. in cover. at a boy tony that means act fast tony knows that it helps to get to any kind of cover sundays holidays like asian time we must be ready every day all the time to do the right thing if the atomic bomb explodes. this family knows what to do to your own family should remember what to do tell me right out loud what it was supposed to do when you. were
9:48 am
not in a cold war situation anymore like we had in the 1960 s. with the soviet union back then we had what was called duck and cover and we had a mascot it was a turtle called bart the turtle and he would come dancing around and he would teach the children how to hide in case a bomb went off. i'm 57 years old and i've never seen a country so divided as america is right now so divided that people are buying bunkers in record numbers to protect their family from the unknown because they don't know where their country is going they don't know where this country america is going to end up in 10 years. we have a saying in america we're all just 9 miles away from anarky now what that means if you take an america and you don't see him for 3 days he will kill you for food.
9:49 am
my husband but travel and i say what can i do to help my family. so i bought it in the next. day but that bunker he doesn't want to plant bunker he says oh my god we're going to wouldn't you we're going to keep hermes on this is now i don't well i buy the bunker 9 and thinking that to get in the ground. here's a massive. compost really. these challenge. these out of control.
9:50 am
i put a little light. here and a little storage area here and then this has storage in here on all 4 of them. and the curtains for privacy. between 59 and 63 degrees all year round it could be snowing up or could be blazing hot in the same pitch or going around i like being alone sometimes so. it's just quiet you don't hear anything at all. not even flies come down here is my girl cave. my husband don't let me say this. but there's a planet coming through that has its own solar system. in the sun it's got nibiru and it has its own moon it has its own has its own planets that are going around it supposed to pass through between the sun and us.
9:51 am
and something as big as the earth is going to cause tidal waves earthquakes volcanoes. and it's going to chill. it's over it for awhile right and it can happen any time so. much as an ism believe it but i do. it it's own crazy not just don't believe that. my air pipes keep way over there. i don't have one here at their place but their pipes are way over there they don't come straight up in most cases like most bunkers they go straight up so if you go up to me pool water and it just goes into the bunker it doesn't happen on my bunkers meyer's parts away over there so somebody comes out and finds an air pipe they try to pour gas in it are pump smoke or even put carbon monoxide back a car up to it it's not going to get because my valves was shut off the carbon dioxide the water go in the ground now if they put in
9:52 am
a bag over the pipe that's eventually going to tokyo so there is no bunker i make this not impenetrable but i can help the lion as long as possible so then you have enough air in there to use the escape tunnel the flank the guy sitting in the back . this is a bunker but this has a like a 4 cox gun vault door inside it has the name of the guy's ranch and you come down the stairs and it has a mud room as well say i ever one of my bunkers has a place to shower and decontaminate before entering the bunker. the shelters we make today are identical to the shelters made for john f. kennedy. right now the people who are buying bunkers are not the liberals as the conservatives the conservatives are buying the bankers they're buying the guns they're buying the food they're buying the image that the left is and buying anything because they figure they have the police in the military and they're kind of crazy to begin with anyway if we could end up in
9:53 am
a civil war number 2 in america it would start today it would happen the problem we can't is because we're all intermingled so it's a war of words on the news and media but this country needs to break up and people need to go to the side that the we need to split this country. this is mine this is mine. just can't teach english and his mind was full. loaded and ready and indeed. this is mine she is mine. now you are used to get a laugh now we have a. target. range. they have an area about a mile behind us so it's in the no facial shooting range and everybody in the local area calls fighting practice the slow so lou short walking thanks for that we
9:54 am
practice come home and then we clean the drugs and ready for the next day. so will you know it's you because you know. this is a misconception oh maybe the. problem here is that you're just blowing 12 to 25. shelters 400225 you know the temperature drop here tonight deal situation because of the cool temperature. is long as you remain sealed about 20 years.
9:55 am
but what's your biggest fear my neighbors. just in case people always ask me aren't you worried about people knowing where your bunker is i said no just off point but the press through until. the locals here they kind of look at us. like we're crazy that that's a waste of money why are you doing that but the locals also don't know that. if you live in chicago you have nowhere else to go. so why not have things like this. the good thing is everything is paid off. i don't know nobody no money the focus paid off the car the heat off the trailer it all nothing i just gotta figure out oh . enough way of paying my child for paying my daughter's school and that's
9:56 am
what i. am which just to live their life without fear. then this whole world would be different but every once in one's fearful you need to break away from that fear because the only thing you have to fear is death that's the way i look at life and i think that i'll just want to enjoy my life because time this precious. time is you know that's what we have here and it's fresh.
9:57 am
captured the moment. being. you know the ghost of christmas future was neo liberalism visiting the president trying to warn people what happens when you financial. me and you do 3 or 400 years. day christmas being a holiday. losing its significance spiritual soulful. and here we are you know we've all been very very naughty and we've all been. and we're all sitting in our rooms thinking about what we did this is a moment for the global community to sit. and think about what you.
9:59 am
no limits your house on the next classroom. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see the kids ask and as a parent. i can come up with an argument and there's a lot of conflict within the game and between the teams most of the conflict i would say overall is around money and most of their money is made. plus one on the children's clothes seen on each other is good business the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of the prison complex just to get some point in your life where. you don't care and cares about you so your care might anything.
10:00 am
welcome to our viewers from around the world live from central london this is r.t. u.k. . britain's pronovost death toll soars to its highest daily death rate yet and could still be underestimating the scale of the crisis that's as the government fails to hit its own target for testing i'll be talking to a former health service chief shortly. police forces warn the offices not to be overzealous in forcing the lock down as some forces use drugs to shade dog walkers and try to stop non-essential projects is like easter eggs i'll be joined by a former police officer. before secretary promises to get thousands of stranded nationals back home as reports emerge of britons running out of food and water due to lock
10:01 am
downs around the world he's speaking to one traveler still waiting for a flight from india. also this hour the european parliament's largest group of any peace calls on britain to last for an extension to the transition period while both sides deal with the virus pandemic that says a poll finds that the majority of the british public that the mood of. the coronavirus death rate in the u.k. continues to soar to almost $400.00 in a single day and the toll could be even higher after it was revealed the government's own figures don't include those fatalities occurring outside hospitals as number 10 is accused of failing to meet its own targets to ramp up testing. and he joins me with the latest so. tell us more about this is confusion over the
10:02 am
official death figures yes that's correct this comes as the official figure has now risen the ritual death. toll has risen to above 1800 it stands at 1808 deaths across the whole of the united kingdom that's a rise of 393 across all 4 of the home nations 367 just in england alone over the past 24 hours but there are thought to be some inconsistent sees in how these figures are recorded in these inconsistences are to do with the methodology we know that the office for national statistics they've just begun a weekly analysis of the death figures they say that up to and including the date of the 20th of march there were $210.00 deaths but the n.h.s. official figures say that up until that day there were only 170 deaths but the differences may lie in how their recorded the and the o. s.
10:03 am
figures the office of national statistics include deaths which take place in hospitals and non-hospital deaths as well so for example deaths in retirement homes but those n.h.s. figures only include n.h.s. only clue deaths which take place in hospital so that may go some way to explaining that discrepancy and obviously with the official figures being $1800.00 we could see that the actual real figure of deaths as a result of covert 19 could be much higher and these are the government's testing plans are going a rise so it seems. well the government have been stressing that they have been ramping up testing the what we know that the chief of the world health organization has been repeatedly telling countries to test test test and saying that the governments have been aiming to do 10000 tests a day however the latest figures from over the weekend show that those figures are some way short of that the real figures around 4900 people being tested in the 24
10:04 am
hours leading up to 9 am on sunday morning it contrasts sharply with other european countries such as germany who are testing 70000 people every day but measures are being table taken to increase that the ikea in northwest london just off the north circular it's being converted 'd into a testing center where n.h.s. staff can go to get tested and that sensor they're already constructing barriers and tents and so on for those and it just works to go and be tested there and it also comes as we expect for self self testing kits to hit the shelves these testing kits are supposed to be approved in the next week or so when they will be testing for antibodies which have been described as a game changer because they could tell people if they've been infected with a covert 19 in the past and could go some way to alleviate some of the economic
10:05 am
pressure and some of the quarantine pressures while it's understood that the government of already bought 3 and a half 1000000 of those tests some of them will be going towards workers and frontline n.h.s. staff others will be hitting the shelves for the public to be able to buy it thank you very much indeed for that update well for more on this and are joined by former n.h.s. trust chairman roy roy and to you thank you very much indeed for joining us. why is the government getting this so wrong repeatedly absolutely no idea they started really on the back foot they started really with a very modest target just 5000 tests which is hopeless really in the scheme of things and they've only just managed to scrape by that on most days the end of the week a and michael gove who's one of cabinet ministers said that the n.h.s. it reached a $10000.00 target when it actually hadn't we will well short of the 10000 and then so the government had to spend several days rowing back off of that saying oh we meant to say we have a capacity of 10000 now because we've seen the prime minister say we want to do
10:06 am
25000 even if we did 25000 it won't be anything like as much now we have over 40 testing you look gorgeous he can do viral viral testing if each one of those did $500.00 tests a day 7 days a week would be well a $250000.00 so why we're not using the capacity i don't know there is of course in fairness there is a sort of global competition to try to buy tests themselves everybody across europe of course wants to buy them we're no longer in the european union or none and there's a lot of gossip around the fact that the european countries are just selling tests to european countries not us we can't get in from the states because the states are busy using them as well so i think we're probably on our own to some extent with even then you know the government go on to other engineering companies and formula one racing car companies and said can you make ventilators for us and the response
10:07 am
has been fantastic they could do to zac to the same thing with tess i'm sure hosking industry to step up and help but they haven't done it this 3 and a half 1000000 antibody tests they've been talking about that now for a fortnight and we haven't seen them and i understand the chief medical officer has some reservations about whether or not the tests work and the window for testing them is it a week after you've had your last symptoms or so. 4 weeks is a it's not it's not simple and of course we're saying the ikea development just this last time this one in chessington it's south london as well but it's a windswept car park where people drive up in their car wind their window down into and it looks to me like a very unprepared nurse with a some little penny on and mosque pokes around in the face with a swab and puts it in a minute and then joe i mean if you look at how we're testing compared to our how they're doing in italy and spain in other countries it looks really sort of heath robinson so the whole thing is
10:08 am
a message partly the difficulty is that is that the n.h.s. is sort of run by the department of health it's sort of run by n.h.s. england and it's sort of run by public health england who are responsible for testing and public health so you've got 3 organizations are all sort of stumbling around each other trying to fix it it needs it clearly a clear set of objectives and i think for the government to come clean because if we're going to have faith in government they have to tell the truth because otherwise michael gove now the minister who said we were doing 10000 we have this big question mark now peter sidewalk can we trust anything he says when people often it's in the government it's a big problem perhaps revealing the truth and could be damaging because some including those we've spoken to on the frontline argue that more testing would reveal more cases and of course to many cases could mean even more of a public school exactly i mean i agree that it's a way that you tell the public but if you say that look we are on the back foot we
10:09 am
don't have enough tests which trying to buy them in global competition but we've asked old british companies for to come forward and help us think that the way we would get behind that this is that test test test is really important and frankly i think we should be aiming to test everyone because we've got an international global pandemic we don't know from our port if you don't know who's got it who's got over it. where they are and where the hot spots are this is data that really we do have to have if we're going to manage the pandemic pandemic properly because otherwise we're going to spend months locked up in our homes that eventually is going to fall apart because people just won't do it but if you test like that having other countries you know where you can let people out where you're going to also. write thank you very much and thank you tom on this roy living. a senior police chief has been front line officers not to be overzealous in forcing britain's lock down assistant commissioner of the metropolitan police neil bassis
10:10 am
says that there's a balance to be struck but also told the public to make allowances for any mistakes after reports of officers abusing their new powers preserving the trust and confidence of the public in policing by consent is our mantra and has been since 1829 there will be a period of readjustment to our new responsibilities which no police officer ever thought they would have not every police response will be sure footed and some will spark healthy debate we should not judge too harshly some forces have been accused of exercising forces have been accused of exercising the new emergency powers sanctioned by the government to harshly the association of convenience stores reported police searching through customs baskets to remove non-essential items in pharmacies despite there being no official guidance when others reported being stopped in their cars while travelling to exercise in the countryside exercise which is allowed under the rules. so what do the powers state while police have the
10:11 am
authority to instruct the public to go home leave an area or disperse to ensure people stay home and don't make norman essential journeys they can also ensure parents are taking necessary steps to stop their children from breaking the rules and officers can issue a fixed penalty notice of 60 pounds doubling for 2nd time offenders if there's a failure to comply and they can arrest those who repeatedly flout the direction but critics say there must be more clarification about the difference between rules and guidelines and the fear that society is losing its basic freedoms. the real problem is that when human societies lose their freedoms it isn't when tyrant to take it away it is when people willingly surrender their freedom against some external threat and the threat is usually a real threat but usually exaggerated that is what i fear we are seeing now and when you look at some of the other police activity you can see why some feel they might not be acting within the spirit of the wall even within the lower itself.
10:14 am
well for more on the police reaction and overreaction and not joined by former police officer peter williams peter hello to you thanks for joining us why are some forces getting this so wrong it seems well i'm not sure they are getting it wrong. bill because i think we need to step take a step back and look a sewer this legislation came from it was rushed through both houses last week basically although not there was virtually no committee stage which is the normal
10:15 am
stage the normal juncture implement legislative process when the law proposal is looked at. in detail and druggists leaks out clearly that's. because it actually do not require that so surely following dog walkers with drones criticizing easter egg shopping i mean that's really no the police's business. well what what the what the place. the mantra the should be the guidance that's been issued to start is from the college police and say that the vast majority of police forces and police officers are doing that and that is basically full ease which is engage with the public xplain encourage finally if necessary and fulls now the 1st 3 of those probably have happened on thousands occasions so
10:16 am
far we've just not heard about this we have heard about the one of 2 incidents which you quite rightly highlighted which neal pursuit referred to. which is causing overreaction from offices i mean the more supposed to be about dispersing large gatherings and discouraging non-essential travel emon that's pretty modern in that this should be common sense providing here well i'm sure that is the case because dispersing large gangs are not sort of thing is something which the neighborhood police officers do on a daily basis well under the provisions of the crime and disorder known to social behavior so that isn't really a problem and i don't see that being an issue what to say here is the fact that perhaps there's some abdication of things that maybe could have been avoided largely by social media i mean for one example i've seen a tweet this morning by darvish it least of course they have codified that it wasn't them that ashley added the di to this particular disused quarry
10:17 am
a lake and that was done by previously to discourage women as not to get sold to do with the police and so i think we're seeing 2nd stances like that but accept what you say what's been said and nailed to sue has referred to it in his last and he's quite right because we do police by consent and have dorms since 1820. and at one time sure in the future we are going to return to normalcy and we be sure of that because there's overzealous enforcement actually be foreshadowing even more draconian lockdowns in the future and indeed for those powers to be exerted and difficult to return those powers in the future well that there is shaun settles in these anyway isn't that 3 months so don't stand so we can foresee normality being restored and of course the issue demand should be epic of policing by consent which should exist now will of course come into play once again so i don't see any
10:18 am
particular issues of ok just a final thought and pay your way we've got to keep public trust in the police somewhere and cracking down like this when actually help this after the pandemic is over the most powerful tool the police service has got in its armory at the moment is communication and it's communication with the public which will bring about compliance and of course that will maintain and protect the issue of policing by consent in my area there i've seen 2 videos by 2 chief constables one from lancashire one my own local cheap council for a murder suicide which you've been setting out what the police plans and strategies are think we need to see a little bit more of that peter thank you very much indeed peter williams. still to come from a. britain stranded the 4th because of the pandemic accuse the government of failing to help the return of
10:19 am
a speaking to the british tourist in gallup. all the alternative all. because i say. cold real choice binary choice and only choice is if you say. binary is not a chance for the states to the school to provide a new picture of the called ted to start negotiations with. they're not invited to negotiate.
10:20 am
micrograph aren't slights against you know why. for example there are there slights against women or nonwhites so it's always the idea is that statements that directed toward a privileged group are interpreted differently than a statement directed toward an oppressed group and so that's kind of the whole framework and it's a political framework that's used the result is of course focusing at least on certain kinds of minor slights and saying well rather than a north shore then we need to call attention to them but it's not all slight so it's very political and its contents.
