4:30 pm
papen tell you and this is america's lawyer the big banks who engaged in criminal activity leading up to the last economic meltdown were never forced to answer for their crimes nobody would to jail and because they weren't punished they continue doing gauging the same illegal behavior and now whistleblowers come forward to confirm our worst fears and tonight we're going to tell you what the banks are up to now it's the same old 'd thing because we didn't put in employees in the last also and i contact tracing has certainly raised concerns about reaching privacy rights but what about the good old who today which is now up for renewal later in
4:31 pm
the show textured breast implants are causing cancer in women and there's a flurry of new lawsuits are being filed to hold the manufacturers accountable don't go anywhere americans are starts right now. big banks are once again in gauging in the same kind of criminal behavior that led to the last economic meltdown this is what happens when bankers don't get punished when they don't go to prison for breaking the law joining me to talk about this is fair and cousins in the trial lawyer magazine obviously one of the best young political commentators i think in the business i really do believe you are fair think you are so pick up the story would you well what we're finding out now is whistleblowers of course have come forward and say listen the bank i'm working at and pro publica has done a phenomenal job of tracking as the bank i'm working at. is doing the same thing
4:32 pm
they did back in 0607 and 08 which is using these mortgage backed securities overinflating their values selling them to investors knowing they're going to fail and reaping a huge profit from it now a lot of that i'm sure a lot of people say i don't understand most of those words you just said so rule quick the mortgage backed security what that is you get all these but the bank takes a bunch of different mortgages puts them together in a bundle and then it sells that bundle to an investor like a bond and as people pay the mortgages the people who invested in that get paid now if the people don't pay the mortgages the investors have lost their money but the bank made all the money up front right so what's happening now is we saw with the housing industry last time we had bankers we had banks and bankers credible banks i mean who used to be. you know they were just making stuff up somebody would come in
4:33 pm
and they would say well we know that you're only making $30000.00 a year but we want to put you in this 300000 dollar home so they would just make stuff up they would so they're doing it again but this time they're doing it with commercial property and they're bundling all this garbage up this garbage and garbage comes in information that's garbage comes in says that this investor can't afford to to can afford this building they know they can't so actually they're actually they're actually phony end up applications aren't they right what whistleblowers have said is that some of these applications they're seeing the income of the person seeking the loan the bank is forging it up to 30 percent so if you're making $100000.00 a year the bank says you know what we're going to put down that you're making $130000.00 a year because that's going to bump you up in income bracket and now you're going to be. you know you qualify for. this loan that we know you can't pay and that's
4:34 pm
that's the kicker here and again as you mentioned now they're doing it with the retail spaces and retail is dying across the run injury rug and it might after this cove the pandemic you know people are saying do we really need brick and mortar right can't we work from home i think it's going to take a big hit the point is this is the same criminals doing the same criminal activity again and what's the worst thing the worst thing is that we have there's not been any reform at all for the credit rating agencies right why is that important well that's important because these credit rating agencies are the ones they come and they tell you whether or not this is worthwhile investment if this is something that's even going to to pay off if this bank is even credible you know and because we haven't changed the way it's all the same people doing the same day he's working with one another because they didn't go to prison right it's a criminal cartel lest the bankers didn't go to prison and if you what i always
4:35 pm
found really weird about that story is during the s. and l. crisis even ronald reagan put $800.00 bankers in prison ok and so so we here we are we had a justice department with eric holder who represented all these people their law firm covington and burling represents all these criminal thugs so nobody went to prison the f.b.i. has accidently released important information about saudi arabia's role in the 911 attacks information that the government has tried to keep hidden now ok we know this the room we know the royal family if this all the track goes right to the royal family they knew what was taken place they actually engineered bank accounts they engineered places for people to live for the for the saudi arabian terrorist where they could live they had their all this has their fingerprints all over the f.b.i. tried to hide. this from the families of the 3000 people who were murdered all
4:36 pm
these people want to do is become been cited for the murder of their mother or father of their child there will be compensated and the f.b.i. has hidden the fact that you have the royal family directly involved in 911 take it from a rise out an overstatement by absolutely not i mean 1000 years the f.b.i. has known that there was a link between al qaeda the terrorist who pulled off 911 and the saudi royal family and that link is a person by the name of. a mob. rug and that person was an official. here in the united states and what this new lawsuit the f.b.i. accidently unveiled in these court documents use me is that he was the go between he was the go between between the hijackers and prince bandar who everybody remembers from the photographs when george w. bush walking around hand in hand that was the guy and the intermediary would talk
4:37 pm
to bandar he would then go talk to the hijackers there is no more question the link has now been established and the f.b.i. is scrambling to try to say well this is state secrets we can't they all are raises state secrets is because these these thugs this royal family bunch of thugs sells us oil and they buy our weapons that's the only reason that this is we have 3000 deaths the biggest murder in america and they're hiding this guy you remember right after 911 how they secretly snuck everybody all the saudis out of the country yeah that this is part of that and so this is the kind of unmasking that the f.b.i. says oops we didn't mean to release this in this is i this is historically changing what we know about 911 at this point but then you know we have. have to lead from
4:38 pm
this into the other unmasking story don't wait because that's big news too and what we're finding out there is that sometimes the f.b.i. releases information not accidentally but intentionally and so it's an organization that has no trust no integrity whatsoever what why is why are progressives not reacting to the fact that on the the komi brennan clapper story let's assume let's assume that flynn did somebody have a bad conversation let's assume that that's the case in the church hearings that took place in the united states they took place because the spook industry was using access to classified material leaking it and making that person a target you don't do that in the united states where you don't have a spook industry who's trying to formulate who's going to win for president and that's what brennan did that's what komi did and that's what clapper did and these documents show it why isn't it why are progressive's not outraged by that who cares
4:39 pm
if flynn did you know the conversation that all they got on flynt at this point is a fact he committed perjury probably should be prosecuted out of that but the real point the real point here is you have the spook industry that is this trying to manipulate the president of the united states and it's ugly little it landed well what's interesting to me is the fact that you had you know since the 1st day of the patriot act you know democrats progressive liberals were all anti this whole intelligence apparatus but then suddenly they come out and say hey we were investigating trump now and then you saw this immediate shift where these same people who knew that these agencies were bad faith actors but now they're cheering of they're cheering people like brennan who 5 years before it they were calling for him to go to prison can you imagine if george bush had released information. i'm
4:40 pm
about obama through his spy agency. these progressive's who don't seem to think oh this is not a problem jesus christ jeff jeff bezos has made $30000000000.00 during the coronavirus pandemic but that's not going to stop him from cutting 2 extra dollars off workers ferran this is the most outrageous story to go lay it out right amazon workers who've been you know hundreds of them have come down with her own of $600.00 and they were getting an extra 2 bucks an hour and i think extra over time if they were working overtime. during this pandemic because they're in essential service people are relying on them now more than ever because they can't leave their homes they need the stuff and base those did a good thing he said all right here's 2 bucks an hour here's your extra overtime and during that same time man makes $30000000000.00 and he gets all this money and he says i probably could make a lot more if i wasn't giving you this hazard pay in this overtime pay so he came
4:41 pm
out last week the end of last week and said june 1st you're losing your 2 bucks an hour you're losing time and i need i guess i need more money because yeah a $1000000000.00 enough $1000000000.00 he made on the backs of these workers who risked their health they risked the health of their family already working in an environment that is totally dysfunctional all the b.s. those regards these people as disposable units that's how you regard these ows thinks of his workers as something just a cut above robots you know ok so all of a sudden we see this freak start saying everybody well you know we're going to give you some extra hazard pay because you're coming in here you're putting yourself at risk you're putting your family at risk he makes $30000000000.00 and then says oh i got a cut that 2 dollars an hour i was given you i got a cut that what what's happened to capitalism is come. tree i mean really what in
4:42 pm
the hell has happened capitalism in this country we used to think microsoft in. facebook and twitter all these all these or digital organizations were going to change capitalism have they done that oh absolutely not but we as a country were so desperate for somebody to emerge as a leader a hero figure and at 1st you know maybe it's going to be bill gates but maybe not so much owed mark zuckerberg no not him he's spying on yeah ok what about bay's 06 amazon that's written oh he's treating his workers you know worse than. wild animals they're having to pee in bottles yeah i guess that's a true story isn't it yes it came out and then amazon tried to discredit the story workers couldn't take the time 3 to use a restroom facility they were paying in bottles workers for this guy were putting their life at risk by going in there every day and potentially taking the virus
4:43 pm
home and giving it to their spouses and their children and he thinks 2 dollars an extra hour i only made $30000000000.00 what in the world is going on with mentality of these modern digital capitalists they they may have started off you know as idealists and i'm going to change the world for the better but as soon as they started getting those checks as soon as their bank account started going crazy with more money than they could ever spend in a 1000 lifetimes it changed him it absolutely corrupted every single one of these individuals a mosque is a great example to you know he is out there saying even though i'm not allowed to i'm going to reopen i'm going to force my workers to go back oh well whatever happens to him he thinks is a modern day rosa parks you know ignoring these are well here's a here's the point when this all started we said these new digital magnates they're going to change capitalism is going to be better for workers they're going to allow union workers they don't. your health care they're going to take care of their
4:44 pm
people this guy is exhibit a for what idiots we were for even suggesting that you know fair and cousins thank you for joining me ok thank you for coming up as the country is doing everything possible to spread upon the virus what's happen is we have a war list mass surveillance that's taking place back in the media spotlight finally we're taking a look at what's been happening while we've been worried about this virus congress is now sparring over the renewal of the patriot act and it could become more expansive than ever that and more when we come back.
4:45 pm
we go to work. straight home. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area at rush up. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down.
4:46 pm
i'm the story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again. the patriot act is for extension with the u.s. freedom authorization act of 2020 the votes of now all been tallied for several amendments in order to receive this joins me now to talk about the status of those votes if you follow these kinds of stories along to give me your take on what's happening in washington with the patriot. well look everybody is so worried about the current a virus right now but there are other things going on behind the scenes i know that congress has taken some time off because of this but they have been voting on these bills and these amendments to the patriot act now this bipartisan amendment that was introduced by democratic senator ron wyden and republican senator steve daines
4:47 pm
received 59 of the 60 votes that were required to pass and this bill would essentially ensure that under section $215.00 of the patriot act they could not be collecting people's internet search histories and web browsing histories as well but it did not pass by one vote and it didn't fail due to a lack of bipartisan support but reportedly due to the absence of 4 senators now among those missing from the vote were senator lamar alexander who was in self isolation following the coded 1000 diagnosis of a fellow staffer washington state senator patty murray was also absent an aide for her says that she would have voted in favor of the amendment securing it enough votes to pass but she'd actually been on her way back to d.c. when the vote was called senators bernie sanders and ben fast were also absent but it's unclear why. well tell me tell me about the a memo ok there was there was an attempt to say we need to revisit what's going. oh
4:48 pm
and with the patriot act we think it's being used in ways that it shouldn't be used we need to we need to take another look at it and so there was a minute that was attached to the usa freedom reauthorization act is i think it's called it was introduced by senate majority leader mitch mcconnell what can you tell me about that provision and what would it have meant. to take another look at the patriot act in a way that we're honest with ourselves where there is no more privacy and ask for me to well yeah mcconnell's proposed amendment to the usa freedom reauthorization act with essentially allows the f.b.i. to collect web browsing history and from anyone without probable cause now since the wyden deigns amendment failed mcconnell provision unfortunately stands for now while the usa freedom authorization act cleared the senate it's now going to the house where privacy advocates are expected to propose some more changes so if citizens are concerned they can still reach out to their elected representatives
4:49 pm
and pressure them to take action but unfortunately in the house at least 10 democrats did side with mitch mcconnell here and that includes dianne feinstein nancy pelosi and mark warner so it's it's unclear whether they're going to whether people asking for the house to do anything is really going to be effective your position would have been at least let's take a look at it see if we can modify it in a way that's more you know it's a little fair to both sides of that argument i think is has been your position on that thanks rashida thank you for joining me ok. thanks frank women with textured breast implants are experiencing abnormally high rates of cancer and it's now believed that these implants are to blame lawsuits are beginning to emerge against allegan the company that manufactures these implants and they've been linked to a very specific type of cancer attorney virginia became enjoys me now to talk about this virginia lay this story out for me you're running this national litigation and what new jersey right it is it's before judge martin adi in new jersey and i along
4:50 pm
with 3 are hugely experienced judge by yes yes very well respected and very efficient even through this pandemic but. i'm working along with 3 other attorneys because it's such a big project that it is a mass toward and a class action claim but in july of 29000 on july 24th the f.d.a. issued a recall and it came on the heels of several other countries issuing recalls for these technical identity 3 country at 38 of the current count by 0 and and the others were really ahead of us on this because i think that al are again had superficially appeared to comply with f.d.a. requirements but we learned last week that the f.d.a. issued a warning letter to our again saying that it had not collected the data that it was required under its premarket approval conditions to comply with so we have a 2000 and 6 pm a process in 820131 word studies were not done to prove these to prove and we know
4:51 pm
coming out of the 1st round of breast implants all the way back to the early ninety's those implants caused a whole host of auto immune diseases scleroderma a rim out syndrome surat just a whole host of of diseases people were live at losing their hair do you remember i tried these cases where i r i there was a hair loss that they had this heart encapsulation to where the breast point had to be removed. and sometimes rick resulted in a full message to me but this is bad is that was is even worse is called our lower homo it is it is michael in this this is a signature injury that now the world health organization recognizes as a distinct breast implant related illness and al are again the defendant in this class action this national litigation is the manufacturer of these implants and it is the company that has failed to comply with f.d.a.
4:52 pm
guidance to establish the safety and the ongoing safety of the end what's the public right now if he knows the goal to comply is a yes that's absolutely true came out just last week as a matter of fact but the sad part about this is that the women who had these implants are often breast cancer survivors and the way the texture and implants work is that the human tissue it hears around the implants so removing them is a very very difficult process results in mastectomy and it was much worse than a mastectomy it is a full on block removal basically a removal of the chest all of the tissue below it sometimes cartilage and reconstructing breast tissue requires flaps to be created muscle transfers from other parts of the body so it's here you saw the good news here is that of those horrible story you just told us the only good news is you're in front of an experience judge who has seen things like this before and you've got a team put together a national team that's trying to coordinate
4:53 pm
a taking discovery here correct be trying to make sure that these women get compensated for this but here is where as i look at this from the outside looking in and i mean obviously our law firm is involved with that but having done breast implant one in seeing the suffering that came out of this there is no way on earth allegan could not have drawn on that history to know that their product was a piece of junk right it is a bad product out of baxter and properly engineered and we think improperly manufactured that they. likely did not comply with their manufacturing specifications and we're hoping to get discovery to look at all of the actual documents and representations made but we have some information out of french inspections and that really gives us a lot of thought that they manufactured these things outside the scope of the specifications that were approved so it looks like they threw it on the market they grabbed a big market share and then they just didn't do their due diligence they are after
4:54 pm
the most troubling thing to me is all they have to do is talk to the scientists that went through breast implant one that's all they had to talk to the scientists to understand how bad this news on its face so they had this texture to the employer thinking well if we had texture you won't have that hard encapsulation that takes place some time well and you know that my dating through the the texture migrating through the body that that's part of the process that it becomes particle laden and the body can absorb and dissolve so we do think that's a contributing factor lymphoma is an illness of implementation so they've created all of these things going on with these implants because in the texturing process that adds to the inflammation in the development you're histories of trial ignorant history as a trial lawyer is extraordinary you've tried some the biggest cases in the country if you're looking at this is this one that you feel like you're probably going to go to trial with you're probably going to have to take them to trial to get a resolution which is all i think so from what we're hearing right now you know the
4:55 pm
litigation is in the stages of trying to get discovery really trying to hold our going accountable for what it hasn't done we're happy to see the f.d.a. working in a way in step with us to try to hold what you value most of all very unusual especially in a republican administration it's unusual but we are very grateful because these women are victims of betting on you well thank you i'm betting on these wonderful women they are brave they're intelligent they're committed to this and. they've been through so much that they are poster children for why we did what we did thanks for joining me ok majestic you michael finally tonight some good news the securities and exchange commission has announced that they're going to investigate the companies that have taken loans from the coronavirus stimulus package specifically those companies have taken money as part of the small business loan program the paycheck protection program was supposed to provide billions to
4:56 pm
america's small business to keep them running during this pandemic but instead the fund was pillaged by large corporations who exploited loopholes in the bill and all more than $300.00 publicly traded companies got their hands on the money that was meant for mom and pop small business their c.c. is going to be reviewing these loans to make sure that these loans went to legitimate small businesses but don't expect anything from the f.c.c. don't expect any prosecutions from the f.c.c. don't even expect any punishment from the c.c. because they virtually in the show a history of never really doing much but maybe just maybe as this story was surfaces the threat of being investigated is going to keep a few of the worst actors out there from attempting to scam the system. that's all the find us on twitter and facebook at facebook dot com slash r t america's lawyers you can watch all our t. american programs and direct t.v. channel 321 also string those programs live on you tube and be sure to check out
