tv   Redacted Tonight  RT  April 9, 2020 7:30pm-8:01pm EDT

7:30 pm
oh you mean there's a downside to artificial mortgage group don't get carried away because you are. welcome to redact it's and i. care of money your guest anger for the apocalypse now i know everyone is having a hard time except for bank robbers you know no one is showing their face in public if you saw a guy with a ski mask and rubber gloves on you think wow what a responsible genuine let me show you where the safe is anyways we've got a great show for you tonight we're going to talk about pandemic profiteering some surprising recipients of stimulus money and some really morbid news about rikers
7:31 pm
island and yes i know rikers island is already a very morbid institution but 1st i'm joined by redacted tonight host lee camp and redacted tonight correspondent natalie mcgill to discuss the end times thank you guys for joining me at intro to. me as a guest on our show how do you know you're invited over time open invitation to you . so guys i want to know what your plan is for when society comes to an end we need to ration pages of leaves book for toilet paper and people with guns shake you down to your last box of pasta because that's all you have in your house and that's how you pay taxes now because they're in charge because they have a lot of my book is going to be currency when they. are too stupid to really be for it come on come on. but i want to talk about i think it's all on a lot of people's minds like how the country responded to the crisis after right
7:32 pm
after 911 like what's the difference between now and then i remember they were like oh if we don't go outside the terrorists will win and now it's like if you go outside the virus will win and so i mean i think what this horrible as $911.00 was it's obviously easier for us as a country to rally around what 2 cities d.c. and now you just have the same happening everywhere at the same time it's kind of like there's a national sinking up of everyone's periods i think they're going to have here and everyone's mad at each other like hey did you read the sign but. i think there's a lot of similarities on 11 absolutely but then it was the nation came together to be like really. up like it was like let's bomb a country everyone got behind bush and they didn't even don't bomb the country or the people that actually did it they went after a rock right in iraq had nothing to do with $911.00 so it was just like this anger
7:33 pm
like let's just kill people who cares and and and so i think that is the difference whereas now it's an internal virus we're fighting an internal enemy but it's so confusing this could be a bomb and i mean we try to we can talk i mean i describe the drone but if people. are literally on the ground i always. hear them going but the other did. i think it's showing holes in the american system in the unfettered capitalist system like these things are falling apart because there was no buffer there for a crisis people are already pushed to the brink they're already working there is all they're already having trouble of in their family and then you put this on top of it and all the structures that are supposed to protect people are not there and so i think it's exposing america in a way that 911 did not yeah i mean i think even after the number of infections subside i think the virus is still going to win and if the way we run this country
7:34 pm
remains the same after all of this is done like if we don't shift from profit based health care that are using us if we don't. even entertain a $15.00 minimum wage for all the people who are like delivering our food and like the supermarkets the virus or yeah everybody gets the virus yeah i mean this is there's a lot of things that the desperately need to change and something i talked about redacted tonight is the other show is that. workers are uniting in a way that we haven't seen in decades because now you're seeing like why is everything still running that for the most part it's because of these workers these low wage workers they're the ones that are on the front lines in a way making sure our society continues and yet they get paid the least like they should get paid what jeffrey every package delivers you get what jeff bezos gets and jeff bezos should get $7.00 an hour. let's goes to space with $7.00. and i got to get some mars on this toilet paper roll but anyways. yeah that is
7:35 pm
interesting i wanted to point out that during right after the influenza pandemic there was a general a general strike in $119.00 so the mutual aid society is that that kind of developed during the 1918 pandemic because the government again was on rely on. 1st there and like quarantining measures and safety measures those mutual aid societies and workers' unions came out stronger rather right after the pandemic so i think we're seeing that actually again and that's why we have a history of. thank you. but i wanted to talk about like what is the american perspective on the coronavirus because it is a global phenomenon and i think this video really captures what the american point of view is this is the lieutenant governor dan patrick of texas talking about how
7:36 pm
how he would contribute to the economy in this time of crisis let's take a look no one reached out to me and said as a senior citizen. are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping to be america that all america loves for your children and grandchildren and if that's the exchange i'm all in we can't lose our whole country we were having an economic collapse i'm also a small businessman i understand it you're basically saying this disease could take your life but that's not the scariest thing to you there's something that would be worse than dying. yeah. not being able to buy dog sweaters out of wal-mart at all hours of the day we will sacrifice for our continued nonstop consumerism society why would you want to sacrifice for this
7:37 pm
america. i don't know i feel like grandparents they're like oh i have left is sugar free men so right i mean oh oh oh i love the name is where there's a risk that you could be great if it was like just completely literal like you just saw all the lines of like grandparents just marching up to walmart and keeling over like a lion after a while like that storming the beaches of normandy you. die we were going to save one side or capitalism but i don't i'm and then they bulldoze them to the south you know that's that's pretty grim but yeah i don't know what he i mean you know we're having fun with it but what he's saying is i mean how disgusting a human being is he and how disgusting is it that tucker carlson also wasn't like oh you can't do you. like i he with a reaction like oh that's a measured point of view ok. i'll kill myself oh myself you know what america i'll kill myself while i'm singing the national anthem that's what i'll do yeah i think
7:38 pm
it is like a typical american perspective i think there's like some things about this crisis that will be worse in america because of course uninsured americans could be facing nearly $75000.00 in medical bills if hospitalized for the coronavirus i feel like the medical industry they're becoming like drug dealer or like crack dealers you know you get a free sample and then they say you know i said you know. there's more where that came from oh man you want more health care trump the other day did say that he'd like they'd found one or 2 insurers that were going to cover the coronavirus treatment and then like you choose to speak. covered the u.s. government should step in and say guess what we're covering the growth of our treatment because really all health care should be covered by our goddamn government but instead he's like we found one who should. be stronger
7:39 pm
and. we said to do you secretary of defense to go chat with the head of the company talk them into it i think is just definitely the sense of american exceptionalism what we are like this one of the best country in the world all the time and now when you hear people say that it's usually people on the frontlines were like a nurse or doctor like we're the best country in the world why is this happening. and yeah we just have to be like we love you nurses and doctors please don't quit please don't leave as we can do is like a plot from the. cairo disappear you know all the people that are running around going. in there like well you know or slogans are not true but i have to be sure it fits tell you that in a phone number one hand you know the lot of you know there's got to be real yeah it's crazy. so i also want to move on to florida florida was one of the later states so we see like a patchwork of states taking taking the shutdowns and quarantines into their own
7:40 pm
hands and florida was one of the later states to do it so we saw those beaches like filled up with people and you would think like florida the senior citizen capital of the world or of america would be a little bit more careful when it comes to the boomer remover. but i did want to show you how tensions are rising at this city commission meeting in lake worth and each city there was this ugly fight between commissioner omar omari party on one side and the mayor pam trio and city manager michael bornstein on the other take a look you're calling me disrespectful because i've been a rep to people but this gentleman has turned off. like to the middle of a global health pandemic that's what that gentleman did i know order and you think i'm disrespectful when you're probably thinking at point of order this gentleman that we have to go to the number of things i want to be good about and large gatherings we could have closed the beach we could have put
7:41 pm
a poor tournament on on iran's i don't mean it off by recess also not within your power and sort of a talking about this last week can we call people to tell these this and made them pay off in their last 2 ought to turn their lights on to go out for them what you don't care about that you don't want to me what every other year you go around to better people for their vote. and we're going to we're more about your relationship with that guy than you care about the relationship of the people who don't go to. your. spiritual speckles what you've done for the working people in the city. you fail to act when you're a leader you fail to act you said you didn't do anything you don't. later the city manager michael oren steam said he appreciates hardy's luth for exuberance but added the 30 year old commissioner just needs to calm down. and i just say as someone he was a community reporter and covered like all the city council meetings the most
7:42 pm
exciting thing i may have. done so much better if i had a meeting about like. he stole my act and yeah mark. no but seriously that's that's what drives me nuts is it's like this is not polite well he's absolutely right is it polite to turn off someone's electricity in the middle of a global pandemic you people should be furious and instead it's always dealt with like you're being disrespectful right now listen we're going to keep destroying people's lives but we're going to do it at a moderate tone ok you can't be yelling in here we have no we have a certain way we run meetings really people drop dead during those meetings that really has nothing. we can do no something really that's the only a microcosm of what's going on over florida i think that's like an entire state of people voting against their own and interests and that's how you end up getting elected officials like that mayor that he was yeah yeah finally finally they put
7:43 pm
a lockdown measure and that was after trump asked governor to santas to put it like come on man and he said i think that is what i will just do sell forward a 1st look no matter how do you know that you know well and this is what happens when you have. it's going up against science you know they just lie will will just ignore science and it'll be fine and i would say well you know if they didn't go and die from crown of ours well that's darwinism but they don't believe in darwin you know they're not a problem you know they they still do believe humans are running around on dinosaurs at some point yet yeah that brings me to a really i really wanted to show you marc lyndall is the c.e.o. of my pillow and he and trump invited him to talk at a taskforce press conference and this is what he had to say a friend of mine mike lindela my pillow boy do you sell those pillows it's unbelievable what you do mike come on up come on up fill this place come on up. you
7:44 pm
have to say what you're doing because it's been really incredible. ok well my pillow is a us burning 3 integrated company which has been forced to adjust to the changing business environment as a result of the pandemic and i wrote something off the conference i can read that. god gave us grace on november 8th 2016 to change the course we were on god had been taken out of our schools the lives and nation to turn his back on god and i encourage you do so this time at home to give to home to get back in the word read our bibles and spend time with our families our president gave us so much hope we're just a few short months ago we had the best economy in some employment and wages going up it was amazing with our great president vice president and this administration are all the great people in this country praying daily we will get through this and
7:45 pm
get back to a place that stronger and safer than ever. please come i did not know he was going to do that but he's a friend of mine and i do appreciate it thank you mike there which. right now i have no idea that we have to go to a break but we're going to come right back and talk about what just happened. during this crisis the question always been. jay powell of there the federal reserve and the central bankers and flavor reflate are pumped up. quick enough to merck's any downdraft in the stock market i know economically that's got a lot of problems associated with that but that's the big question. i
7:46 pm
think. at all. and there is a for that as i had this horrible. and it turns out it was completely alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically laughed at like diet has nothing to do with our immune disorders so my suggestion to people who have health issues they can't figure out if they're going to see a medical professional and they've been going for 10 years and they're still in the same place they should probably take it upon themselves to start testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and try and figure out things on their own. welcome back still mainly caravan and i'm joined again with natalie mcgill and cam thank you. was. like. i just broke
7:47 pm
groans i'm moving on god god wants us to be dying from this virus or you know me i'm going to just how do you know you're all over the roof of the living you know the religion must go through yourself by the way if you make it through this that means god when you do if you didn't you know maybe you shouldn't have stolen the cup of noodles when you were. but i think a lot of people are looking for book recommendations right now and he's like well i've got something i read. this is what you can read all your logo every one of the line after that it's going to bring out the slapshot. like you could bring about. back in the great. plains the. little guy even at the white house oh well he is you may be wandering around in the basement a little. but he is making ventilators and he's you know donated some of his
7:48 pm
business to producing vending machine a floor below machine. it was going to be. i thought. delivery used to suffocate. that ventilate but i mean it is kind of worrying all the doomsday preaching he's doing and then you're like he's responsible for brisbane. you have to enter some bible verse in order to get the ventilator to work . through it for a 19 really you know for the free advertising as well because the only time i ever see my pillow ad is like when i'm watching old like seventy's eighty's sitcoms on like antenna t.v. or any t.v. and they just try to squeeze it in between like a life alert commercials and yeah stuff about me to feel you know that's you know how i see it so you know that's a feeling i'll never neck pain killers while i actually think maybe he's worried he's going to lose his customer base if it's mainly old people buy him special pillows yes. so guys what else what other important stories are you seeing that
7:49 pm
people aren't talking enough about. in particular the welsh town where a bunch of goats got loose i think it to me is like a more of a commentary of like it's kind of an unfortunate byproduct of coronavirus word now like there's not as much pollution the animals are taking over the way in the. way of how difficult it was because there weren't enough were there were you know there was like nobody around like it was a desert town because everybody was on lockdown and they kind of just let. you know i've always told go should recheck wales all right. they own that you said there you have they will have a go ambassador from because they do much worse than the ones we already send to the u.k. but no i think the story is not getting enough coverage is we were trying to create war with iran as well as well but was basically we're trying to provoke them into war as they are dealing with the ground of our horrific way and saying or her and
7:50 pm
sanctions are really killing them and literally in terms of medical devices and medical funding and all that stuff and we're trying to provoke them into a hot war. with iran and recently a leaked memo by lieutenant general robert white which is rare for the higher ups of the military to say anything but he came out and said look going to war with iran is insane right now like if we don't write the speech we could we had it was easy then guess what the military is also dealing with a group of ours it's spreading through the ranks of the military there's a navy ship that's like filled with guys with grown a virus like. the positive positive approach of ours is that it has decreased some of our war mongering because the troops can't move around as much because they're trying not to all the bunched together and stuff but it's just like really right now you try and of course because they like to use a crisis to try and harm other places in the world it's disgusting. but any opportunity we get and i know you have some general vinces yes coronavirus somehow
7:51 pm
lead us to the fight with iran but guys thank you so much for joining me for a good talk i hope you have the back. open ended and see you soon yes. now america is a very unique place when it comes to unemployment during the coronavirus jobs aren't disappearing so fast the way they are in america as they are in other countries throughout the world governments are protecting employment workers keep their jobs even in industries that are shut down the government covers most of their wages through direct payments to employers our government on the other hand is counting on increasing employment unemployment benefits it's like unemployment is rising like toilet water and we're just b.s. trying to flush the toilet and we have a plunger but it's like too gross to actually plunge the toilet we never do that says call the plumber when our house is no longer inhabitable you know some countries like germany already had job retention systems in place but several
7:52 pm
nations with no experience in that area like britain ireland and denmark were able to introduce brand new employment guarantee programs on the fly during the epidemic in both the us and britain the government is asking restaurant workers to say home but in britain workers are receiving 80 percent of their pay and are guaranteed to get their jobs back in the us well if your bootstraps. oh. a strap another unusual thing about america is that health care is tied to our employment so now millions lose coverage during a pandemic. you know what as an american i'm starting to take this virus very personally so many workers are on the hunt for insurance and private insurers are taking advantage and misleading customers about their coverage of course new research has shown a rise of misleading marketing of short term health plans brooking's launched an
7:53 pm
investigation and by investigation i mean they made some phone phone calls pretending to be a woman who was worried about coronavirus coverage and they discovered pretty quickly just scratching the surface since people were quick to reassure us that coping 1000 related costs would be broadly covered despite plans occupants or other statements indicating otherwise in the conversations we heard misleading and sometimes false information about how close in 1009. 100 by the plan and the circumstances under which it would be a preexisting condition so of the millions who are uninsured that will be many more who will still be in debt during this crisis or be put in debt during this crisis because they were lied to about their coverage but in all fairness their sales people it's kind of their job to lie and sell things and our economy runs on lies and dead grandpas i don't make the rules now let's talk about the stimulus bill or we can just call it a bailout ok bailout the airline industry which is prone to booms and busts
7:54 pm
collectively spend more than $45000000000.00 on stock buybacks over the past 8 years now and stock buybacks are more sinister than they sound yes they reward shareholders and help keep executive pay high but also instead of investing in quality goods or services companies will buy back their stocks to prop up their company's value artificially the biggest u.s. airlines spent 96 percent of free cash flow last decade on buying back their own shares. airlines been seen to prepare for this rainy day which is weird because i know i've had several flights cancelled for. light drizzle or passenger like sneezing but that and that was 3 cronan times and now it's a hurricane so they're getting billions of dollars in grants and loans it's true that part of the stimulus package is a ban on buybacks however it's not only the airline industry that will benefit it's a bailout of the entire travel industry and with that travel agents the
7:55 pm
$25000000000.00 allocated in loans and loan guarantees for the airlines will also benefit eligible businesses improve to perform inspection repair or replace or overhaul services and ticket agents my thumb is the travel agency i've put a lot of work into booking my flight you would not believe the amount of tabs i have open kayak skies scan or expedia ok cupid. cupid flies no to the grimmest story of all i'm sure you thought the news couldn't get any more depressing but i have a surprise for you prisoners at rikers island in new york have been offered a unique work opportunity to earn $6.00 an hour on a special project as shortages ravaged the american economy and their assignment is to make up for one product that will soon be in extremely high demand
7:56 pm
graves. they're digging mass graves not only are they making $6.00 an hour and paying the cheapest rent into new york city the prison the prisoners are also getting personal protective equipment you can't even get that in some hospitals next thing you know nurses will be committing felonies just so they can be locked up and get their hands on some latex gloves officials have clarified that these graves are not necessarily intended for covert related deaths the area where the prisoners are digging was long ago identified as a potential resting place for a surge of bodies in the event of a pandemic by 2008 were poor put together by the new york city office of the chief medical examiner now it could be any pandemic that fill those graves not necessarily the coronavirus but maybe the next one that comes along in 2 years after politicians refuse to make any structural changes to our health care system those graves will get another opportunity i'm sure and that's all the news i have
7:57 pm
