cuomo has gym shorts and it's not a joke. and it is we have a great show for you tonight leave camp sits down with the jaipur shot a journalist and an author of 30 books a political philosopher and the executive director of the tri continental institute for social research they talked about the failures of our government to deal with this crisis the demands workers should be making and much more than redacted correspondent natalie mcgill will talk about some mind blowing old news from medieval times the era the eatery then i will go into how big businesses are taking small business support good news for people who like breathing and how the virus is remaking the college process college education process but 1st let's go to that interview between we camp and v.j. the ship rashad thank you so much really there. i'm a big fan of your writing you wrote an excellent article recently in which you said during a pandemic the private sector austerity model has fallen apart we've seen such

a tremendous collapse of the capitalist state institutions that are supposed to help people during a crisis the guidelines for what to do have been all over the place the medical gear is not available the hospitals are overwhelmed that the test still aren't widely available in the u.s. can you talk about why it is that our institutions have failed us so it thoroughly . you see you can. see the lazy shit by the budget or government how do you know what is so gallus legal austerity should actually leave. the united states government since the financial crisis of 2008 has deeply cut into these areas the area of education and social. which is why on the one side there was no real preparation for the emergency on the other

side you know you have a relatively hallucination driven political class just not science based you know they don't actually have an understanding of reality it seems to me so right. that the world health organization they've led a blue pandemic donald trump and alex is expected 3 we're going to try to convince the public that this is not a big deal this was right up to my to lead and so when you had a hallucination driven political last certainly not going to mobilize whatever it is sausage that was the book and because of austerity there are very few indeed you would try to mobilize these resources of course they didn't they did nothing this ad only hands and now they're back. yeah it's a great way to describe it a whole use a nation driven class that that that political class the ruling wealthy class you've said they are their world order is kind of crumbling the neo liberal world

order is crumbling under corona shock can you explain. yes you know i mean it's 2 different things on the one side i think people the general public have come to understand that this austerity model has left populations otherly unprepared to deal with. anything and there will be more up and it's a little bit more inward in the cities and if they're not a bit slow it's certainly not going to be for the next one unless you change things whether that link to this is you know the language of essential workers and the idea that medical workers nurses doctors or janet good ambulance drivers except censure is actually news to this sector because there's been at least 2 decades of the union busting against nurses against ambulance drivers and so on so i think there's a general understanding in the lack of resources lack of respect basic respect of

these workers and when things are no longer in an emergency state will be remembered that i think that's a very important i believe that the memory of being in a crisis and seeing these essential workers must outlive the crisis itself linked to this of course is move seemed the biggest general strike global general strike which should now reveal to people that it's a liver that creates wear and not a bridge nurse and once you remove leave work in the billions from the economy everything collapses it's labor that creates well this is a valid this is a. major work in the 19th century you have spent you spent time in many countries yasser study many countries and written about them how is how is india dealt with this pandemic has it been different in different areas of the country. india is the mirror of its i mean the indian government has this sort of new nish are as the worst you know these kind of events and it

has been. you mean it spent hundreds of millions of workers migrant workers on the road some of them who are almost a 1000 miles. mean but they have to be where you see a completely different act in the indian state of get a little resistance in the southwest it's ruled by a bonus there the government. used to it was a lot of action the state more or less resources exerted were moving under the tri continental institute for social research which you're the director of you put out a platform of 16 steps to confront this crisis i wanted to just talk about a few of them that you are said the the state must assume the cost of the wages during the korean team the immediate socialization and nationalization of hospitals and medical centers so that they're now worrying about profits and the immediate international cooperation amongst them to find

a vaccine an easier testing and then the abolishment of intellectual property in the medical field can you talk especially about that one because that is something we hear nothing about on our corporate media airwaves. you see when a crisis in woods is governments come in with trillions of dollars or or big money to bail out the private sector if you're billing of the private sector you're sensually digging it could be in the private sector why not just you know why would you bill it out and then we drop it specially in that piece of the medical field and you know pharmaceuticals of presidents and you see pharmaceutical companies many drugs where there is dissipated profit in other words for. the rich more than that get the book this is just a limited capitalism that's what i promise you a little governments do they all stoop what happened on their drugs and therefore the price of the drugs

a very high what if you look at this carefully but most of the research for rightly headed back to is done with money in the united states the national suitable government gaijin sees you know finance universities that do the primary research which result eventually in a drug back to did by a private company or private company doesn't dilute any benefit to the government for the kind of money that it used in developing that drug because of that essentially this happens or intellectual property rights x. private companies it doesn't predict people we need to ask what critics people that should be the primary focus for humanity is what's best for people not what's best for profit yeah that's a great point that we're it's our tax dollars that fund the research and then they exploit it and you know won't allow people to get access to it without spending our

own money to get to have to buy back of a vaccine or the medicine we've created the platform also includes the suspension of the dollar as an international currency why is that important right now. we've seen what happens again in a crisis and you know crises ready or because they've demonstrated what's normal in a room all of this crisis began and it looked like they had you know generally. a lot of rich people around the planet played other economies and came to the us brought dollars abandoning other. this creates a big problem around the world do you what's happened is because the united states dollar by and large is used to settle. outside the united states the u.s. government essentially ruined as much money as it wants without having to bear the cost of inflation you know essentially exporting inflation to the rest and this is

ited states government it's not good for the rest of the planet and you know we have a sort of international currency or the standard drawing rights we just use by the international monetary fund but since the i.m.f. international monetary fund is essentially controlled by the u.s. treasury department the i.m.f. cannot make the s.d.r. distended growing rights an international currency in fact they've just rejected an application by the government of venezuela to have access to its own standard or to grow rights which just sitting in washington d.c. so their own money they're not able to access this means we don't have the ability to have i don't see outside the dollar the dollar that having the dollars and us are suitable for the american government it's to go to wall street but it's not so good if you live in calcutta yeah but i'm glad you mentioned venezuela one of the other planks on the platform is to end the economic sanctions economic war on

various countries and the us is doing exactly the opposite where we're amping i'm up we recently announced like a $15000000.00 i think bounty on president maduro has had a which is basically unheard of for a country or. ostensibly not at war with can you talk about venezuela and why the u.s. is so eager to attack it well you know just when the bennett was developing the un security or the un secretary general and only we did it has made a very important point he quoted court of global ceasefire he said no law was let's focus on dealing with this global pandemic well the united states has been at war with and it will it's not a conventional shooting war but it's what we call a hybrid war it's an inflammation or it's an economic war diplomatic well it's sort of what it is and so on why it is going to have to venezuela is an important it's not a recent issue this is goes back to the election which i was in 1990 and the opening

of a cycle of governments across latin america that for essentially for their resources to be used for their own you know right up to china is going to be elected the head of addicts who are which is one of the worst lie just mining companies in canada the head of this company mr that's rude all inch i was addicted to why i was chosen he did it because he was going to prevent bad of gold for treating venezuela like it's all property he wanted to and it's really people who seem as well as their sovereign property imagine that you kind of live in your own opposed this is about a good is concerned if you live in your own house during the day it yeah there's nothing more horrible to the corporate titans than the idea that a country might own its own resources and give the profits to their people. you know the thing and things are very grim right now for a lot of people grim for workers grim for the environment grim for those of us who

want peace where do you see hope in your in your work here you're studying so many of these issues and seeing this crisis unfold where do you see hope. well you know there was a very important lebanese marxist by the name of my d.m.'s who was assassinated in 1970 in one of his writings you know he lived in beirut lebanon or one of his writings and then i will wrote as long as you are resisting you have not been defeated and i actually think that's almost a talisman reality existing there quote we have not been defeated in history isn't who you know it would like to tell us that we have an extremist the things you say are crazy or whatever but that has no bearing on what suffering is such that out resistance is essential in fact moral and the very fact that we're assisting means to not be defeated it means you know for the future we want to create the future

and this cynicism is of no consequence to us it doesn't bother me apple or i agree and thank you so much i know you're always writing i think you have something like 30 bucks really you should work a little harder out there where where can people keep up with your writing will be should go to the book try going to mental. and very much book leave that when my next book comes out it's called washington bullets with a preface by evo morales. it will come out after the lockdown ends and i'd like to come back and talk with you a part of washington bullets that sounds great thank you so much. thanks arrests we have to go to a short break but if you're stuck at home looking for something to do check out my podcast fail university and check out the free r.t. america app at portable dot tv slash download we'll be right back.

we go to work so you can stay home for. me so to add to that he said you need for good you see by the no human. but on the but are going to do the book on you so so let me just. to sort of. labor we should be learning to not just do our fuels the least of korean missiles from the course for you know which resistance above should use

a sloth create. the gut feel that the church. will settle into. that. we think he minds be soviet soldier because of the boots she's wearing. to church so the sold out so it's a move to oppose them to put you know more than with me the new i'm going to sure still in the summer watching the police force send us all the. welcome back i mean we care about me though. overman set aside almost $600000000000.00 to help small businesses both large and some troubled companies got bailout money in the small business loan program $10000000.00 of small business money went to shake shack. shake shag you know that old neighborhood haunt

created mr shape and his wife miss shack i just love their original take on frozen crinkle cut fries the l.a. lakers one of the richest franchises in the n.b.a. received 4 point $6000000.00 of small business funds yet such a small business sometimes le bron james has to clean the stadium he's just so good at getting those hard to reach places treasury secretary stephen newton the leader of the program and robot annoyed by human existence responded to the confusion over who and what qualifies as a small business certain people on the p.p.p. may have not been clear in understanding the certification so we will give people the benefit of the doubt we're going to put enough a q. out to explain the certification finally and f.a.q. what are the questions like number one do you want to identify as a small business do you say like shake shack have about $6000.00 employees are

a publicly traded franchise and with a $15000000.00 net profit and pay your c.e.o. $3800000.00 a year then no you're not a small business you might have low self-esteem but if you're a big business you really honor and believe in yourself after some serious backlash the l.a. lakers and shake shack pledge to return the money to the government so to 14 other publicly traded companies of which some have c.e.o. pay higher than their multi-million dollar relief packages now what's in the government's plan for all that money that went into the wrong hands while. they're going to ask we're. so so mr secretary are you going to request of those other countries obviously she was not alone in being a big company to got money in this regard you're going to ask them to return the money yeah yeah we're going to harvard it's going to pay back from what. they

should be taking harbor it's going to you have a number of them are going to be other things harvard has a $40000000000.00 in down and i feel like they were just taking the money and make sure some businesses go under steve laid down the law if you pay back the loan right away you won't have liability to the s.b.a. and to treasury but there are severe consequences for people who don't test properly the certification there are severe consequences i don't know what they will be right now but they will be bad and then he said oh no not this. that big companies should apologize for taking small business loans now you go to your summer home in the hamptons with your mistress and you think about what you've done on that jet ski a trump donor and multimillionaire monte bennett who own several hotel companies

$1006100000.00 in their paycheck protection program loans and runs he said he'd given the money back the loans were originally intended for employers to continue to pay their workers when they're shut down that's why it was called the paycheck protection program and companies wouldn't have to pay the loans back of 75 percent of the loans were spent on employee payroll but monday isn't paying its staff partly because of the distribution of loans have been outsourced to big banks who collect fees for each loan they make but don't have to monitor whether the recipients used the money appropriately on monday when the fed injected another $300000000000.00 into the fund computers crashed but it's likely that money will go just as quickly but our nation's mechanical father stephen nugent admires the speed with which this program was carried out we launched a brand new program and incredibly short period of time and the fact that we ran out of money just goes to show the success of this among the applicants for loans

from the small business administration stimulus is freedom works a conservative operation that advocates small government and made its name opposing bailouts see they hate free money except when it's for them when it's for you that's dirty socialism now a story for people who like to breathe after many realize that high air pollution increase over 1000 death rates european cities would like to get rid of some cars even if they are fiat's milan is to introduce one of europe's most ambitious schemes re allocating streets based from cars to cycling and walking in response to the crisis the city will turn 22 miles of road over to cyclists and pedestrians what is italian culture going to be like with scooters and i got. the pandemic has forced colleges to a vic their students and put all operations online but the problem is that students

are still paying full price to ition some students are now suing their schools including california state universities the lawsuits claimed it was unfair and unlawful for u.c. to keep fees to cover the cost of certain on campus services which are no longer available to students paying exorbitant amounts of tuition for learning ancient greek must've felt like a scam before but now paying thousands of dollars to log on to your colleges version of you tube must feel extra scam me if you wanted to learn animal husbandry through video staying home at your parents you wouldn't have applied to college and now that creepy professor is extra creepy because he's not wearing pants people are starting to worry will anything be the same or will the only businesses that's arrive be the places that can afford to create its own patrons like this baseball club in taiwan that has cardboard cutouts of fans and that's all the insanity i

have for you today we now go to redacted correspondent natalie mcgill with some mind blowing old news. unless you have a peloton by a cord indoor track in your house you may find it hard these days to get rigorous exercise without fear of catching the plea that's why it might be hard to believe there was once a plague that actually increased your cardiovascular exercise. until your heart gave. it was called the dancing plague also known as dancing mania a phenomenon in europe between the 14th and 17th century in which break outs of spontaneous dancing were spurred by just one person before afflicting thousands of europeans one of the 1st recorded occurrences of this literal boogie fever was in germany and 1374 when describing the scene in germany just this hacker author of

the 888 book the black death and the dancing mania wrote they formed circles hand in the hand and appearing to have lost all control over their senses continued dancing regardless of the bystanders for hours together and while delirium until at last they fell to the ground in a state of exhaustion actually that sounds less like a plague and more like a bachelorette party in new orleans as silly as a dancing plague sounds it was a real health problem and unfortunately in the 17th century treatments were as medical as sound as a game of operation played on an active fault line. but this lack of medical know how it was apparent during a notable july 1518 outbreak of dancing plague and strong which is now modern day france author and history professor john waller told the b.b.c.

that in search of a solution authorities were convinced that the afflicted would only recover if they danced day and night basically it was turned into an episode of soul train except will likely weigh less rhythm or court nation and if you're having trouble picturing this just remember that soul train minus rhythm and coordination equals most dancers on american bandstand. even though the dance mania started with one woman dancing in the middle of strong the number of people who joined her group so much. that by the end of august 1518 about 400 people had experienced the madness not until early september did the epidemic recede after many of their hearts literally stopped beating yet what's just those important as the strange compulsion to dance is the mass hysteria that fuel it given the dancing plague in $1518.00 occurred during the prolonging period of famine and disease while the

$1374.00 dancing playing coincided with another and much more infamous plague called the black death which killed up to 200000000 people according to waller it is much more likely for someone to enter a trance such as a never ending dance when your mental and physical health is under attack and here in america we've been known to embrace mass hysteria it's the reason why mccarthyism still exists today and why y2k panic convinced americans the stock up on top go on me because the world could end on january 1st 2000. and it also explains why we currently have thousands of people across the us who feel compelled to yell outside their state capitol because they literally want to die for a decent man a cure and a night out at red lobster. but before coronavirus came along there was still

plenty of widespread hunger and preventable diseases in our developed country to suggest that's also of america should have been afflicted by the dancing played by and. oh no. oh no it's happening oh god also the library how ever why is music playing. oh a. reporter from a temporary discotheque that we may go to redact it's night and that is the show thank you for joining us watch out for a brand new episode of redacted tonight tomorrow night check us out on you tube dot com slash for doctors night or the portable t.v. also you can check out my podcast fail university a podcast we're comedians talk about academic subjects the best they can and no it's not a real university it is a scam but that's not unlike most universities right now thanks for tuning in good night and keep fighting at home.
