call up our struggle. and a sense we can say that when we efforts we should be our successes. that those however are desperately trying to identify with those who are struggling so that a course so that they can change the trajectory of those struggles but i think that many people understand that now and i actually welcome these expressions by people in power because we realize that we are beginning to challenge the head mounted powers. of those and government if we do this we can collectively resist the dominance of the past and we can begin to move toward a more master tory future professor angela davis thank you that's it for one of
12:31 am

12:32 am
in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the. forum a bit in the shallows. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this spirit dramatic developing only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
12:33 am
right to mass yeah that's the nature and i think the trip to mars is an activist here in florida who raises probably awareness about the covert $900.00 situation and he also become the center of attention a few words back when he interrupted the governor's press conference you're an american a brigade act of printing case every day and you are doing nothing you are falsifying information and you are misleading the public over 4000 people have died and you are blaming the protesters you guys that are your claims and you are doing nothing shame on you so to must what actually prompted you to do this state of florida is now i just asked are right we're getting record cases every day yesterday we had record number of deaths. i believe 186 today we had 217 and we have more cases
12:34 am
than new york and italy which were initial epicenters for this pandemic and we are 4 or 5 months out from the start and it's frankly because the governor refuses to do basic things like instituting a statewide mass mandate refuses to listen to public health experts. so here's a little bit of back story about florida that shows what a wavering approach can do when big states like california new york rush to shutdown and quarantine in march to stay remained open much later governor rhonda sent us reluctantly ordered bars restaurants and other public places close by may the number of confirmed cases was relatively low in florida so this was among the 1st governors to reopen his state even bragged about how well he had.
12:35 am
saved the local economy and that's when things began to unravel. hospital started to flood with patients. to accommodate the bodies that couldn't handle florida came into the national spotlight and if you remember actually florida initially made news through that endemic because spring breakers which are you know young college people and young people have come to this part of south florida to party in in march because they have a break in school they county and the state government and the county government didn't do anything to try to stop that because it's money right now and we're seeing it now this new world reopen in the middle of a condemn a so if you ask me is really just greed and the fact that these people want to make money no matter what by the way let's just also explain to the audience that we actually have to keep our masks on throughout this interview even though we are outside in this. county justice county miami dade there's an ordinance that was set
12:36 am
up in place i go about 2 weeks ago or so to 2 that mandates mask wearing under the threat of a fire and right this masked man they remember happened about 2 weeks ago so very very late into the crisis i don't think the broad throughout the whole of florida they're really taking this seriously. are you want to go about i'm a bit of a stop the virus you want to catch up with this with the mess on with it all you know me. see what we do we're in the mess your body is not releases you know the pot it was still in your body you know you're not getting fresh air with the mask on so and i me and you just do a kitchen with a mess on if you want to see it when a man because you breathe. i mean you have bad breath you don't just know your
12:37 am
breath all day in this. hour. i think is just a scare. is all a scare and then the election coming up so basically we haven't seen the you see when i was in no no no not to cold with the november watch everything just back to normal and they will split in the car around the. indian tennis clubs i don't deal with giving people a moment. just to test the people who are getting going to get tested in combat but the curled. up in. the contrast is dramatic relaxed and rochlitz florida that is just about to get struck by the pandemic compared to depressed in 2 forman's in new york which is just trying to get back on its feet after includes devastating blow. this crisis has
12:38 am
devastated a lot of american businesses but there is one sector that has been thriving since the onset of the pandemic funeral how this one and hardest which is the area that has seen more coronavirus deaths than any other neighborhood in new york has been working extra shifts since the beginning of this pandemic so let's see the owner of this 2nd of all home and get his perspective on all that. i'm constantine it's me. it is very 1st week of april we were here one day in the fold started to ring and every time we. had to fold up it was a death. so i've never
12:39 am
seen anything like this before nobody in this business is of the seen anything like this. you know some people ask me how do you compare this to 911 and says you can't say no i don't live in that 3000 people killed so you can't even compare this to 911. i've seen a lot of footage that was shot in this area where you hold trucks standing just right in front of pheromone homes and you know bodies are being carried into the struck some and it was crazy disagree it is good it is very good. you are just too good to buy it is the. good.
12:40 am
my hand. is hard to look good be drained what i'm seeing right now it was an unfortunate incident in brooklyn you know where the feel. that he was stored bodies of all trucks that he stored too many that he couldn't dispose of the body started to decompose and he had a big situation that was all over the newspapers. just you can come in here and just go from the back. oh my god this is nice of the seas the other the one that started. this and you know more was finishing up that's alexandra she's carrying the body and for some of her the make up over. to a place like this when you have death on a daily basis then that's another story you know people oh i don't really believe
12:41 am
those scenes trust me i've seen it firsthand it's it's real. do you have a an explanation why has it been hit so hard. by kobe 19 compared to other parts of the city. the only thing that i can comes to mind is possibly the way that people live. very very diverse i mean there's a lot a lot of nationalities you know you have a house like this. you know it's illegal to fail but then convert the basement into apartments to bring people in to help pay the rent and then they'll crowd the men. in america this is especially striking the spread of the coronavirus is directly related to the standard of living in a particular area and it's a poor neighborhood where the lot of migrants and the virus is going to spread far more quickly and claim more lives than. in other parts of the city so if you are in
12:42 am
a more affluent area of new york you might find one or 2 people without a mask because if there is nothing they should worry about but here in alberta where death is so real and so close you'd be hard pressed to find anyone without protection we are incredibly on the ball in our society compared to western or the new york accent and when it comes to public resources institutions and services we don't prioritize that year so we're rich if you look at g.d.p. and if you look at the fact that we have like more billionaires than other societies but in an incredibly poor overall and an incredibly unequal country that means that these kinds of crises are going to affect some folks much worse than it does others. this is a portion of the cremains that have not been picked up from the cases that we did
12:43 am
what we called on a 2nd set this all of these are what they call cremains this is if the someone has been cremated ashes to ashes i'm getting goose bumps here. what's the weight of a box. i tell people or swallows size or weight is about time they are sure of its. existence and her sister is just crazy this is this is what's left of the worst levels of us. danielle santa cruz. and the new palermo. you say spinoza you know those are latino think yeah. yeah i mean 95 percent of my business is minorities and 1st wave immigrant folks from another country the most vulnerable part of the society who was hit hard i think the back side is. why. does inequality in this city carry over into
12:44 am
health care so much because for one the poor people. were forced to come out it was choosing between exposing yourself and earning your living because then you might not have money to buy food for people have less resources therefore they probably are not as healthy. poor people don't have the luxury per se or the luxury of saying i'm going to isolate $1000.00. eyes i could swear i did. i don't know i don't know any more. business to do i don't. know what your microphone.
12:45 am
an entire village in alaska. if another country trying to wipe out an american town . we do everything in our power to protect. wanted a escaping climate change this is the same threat right now alaska seems some of the fuss just coastal erosion in the world's last about 30 feet. 35 feet of ground. in just about 3 months while we were measuring.
12:46 am
is fast paced the river is 30 closer to how it was before we're part of the 1st for. there is conventional wisdom that if you want to do something right give it to the private sector we have the largest health care system in the world in the u.s. which is private or semi private you should say right so from that perspective it should be doing just fine well as we've seen it's not you need only look at the current system and see what's taking place it's far from adequate you have people that are stacking on medical debt now from their covert treatments let alone everything else kind of a one man for themselves price gouging no limitations cost barrier thing that
12:47 am
results in what we're doing with now and why i believe one of the biggest reason for bankruptcy for average citizens these days are from medical. high got used to the. hospital. before we jump in to this interview i'm going to quickly explain. janet story here so she contract it's cold. but i she was paid with this ridiculous $400000.00 medical bill. all. of your life. my mother. started getting calls while if they were in the hospital and that the bill was already there be toys. i arrive. here rely on yes. this is how much i was
12:48 am
charge all along. the government suppose they gave me hell and the bill went down 275000. so the kindly v.d.c. if you total it is still $75000.00 yes and then i started getting little bills from different departments from what happened since i got to the hospital so i got a different bill from the e.r. a different bill from. the radiologist a different bill for the cardiologist just the same hospital. and different department within the hospital to turn to them dependent and the plan they yet up to now i haven't seen the ambulance bill you there because i'm assuming says they're charging everything individually they're going to be also on the ambulance bill because families took me and brought me back home. to the new york times
12:49 am
article. saying all we're going to review how much you really old and were later on are going to send you a bill final bill how much you really all the hospital work all collating me. from 621-6000 i'm i have left over that i have to pay from my pocket and goes on offense and you have to make sure and by the time you went to the right i had insurance the whole time you turned 98 anyway. because out of pocket. 6000 in there poured out of pocket that i have to pay that's the insurance i just talked yesterday about the yes but anyway why are you every so often the air just to leave the sound really with you i don't know why they're making this so complicated and ok you're in the hospital they're all the same. hospital is not. so
12:50 am
different location it's all inside the same hospital why do you need to send so many different bills sold their washing their hands by saying oh charge of this department so i don't know what the department is charging all of them we figured out. weeks passed by and still nothing it's been almost 3 months as i've been outside of the hospital and i don't know what's the real amount yet the last government announced that they're going to cover all off a little bit. anyway you got real deal that's why the surprise me is confusing yes because i was watching the news in the beginning there were i'd say don't worry about it if you contract. pain all the bills for you would like the whole hospital bill so why am i getting so much larger amounts for the hospital for this if i'm not for something else the hospital once the money in their
12:51 am
pocket so they're not going to tell you all well you don't have to pay for this because the government gave us money and they're going to try to squeeze it through you see in the sound of the health care system it's not made for the people it's not made to keep you healthy it's not made to help you in any way and certainly not made to. prop that system what happens to you for example not what they saw was that big. settlement trying to get me to pay something if i still don't pay or even though i had all the settlement stays in my record for 8 years and then if i ever won told by a whole. apartment there were in fact my credit card dangerous to get through here yes. you have to make a lot
12:52 am
a if you are covered or have money always say just for you to go. so it's a vicious circle to pay the medical bills at least in part you need insurance to get insurance you need a job but due to the pandemic unemployment in the us is rising and has already reached record levels. we're driving through brownsville one of new york's neighborhoods that has the worst homicide in shooting right in the city. i don't know how it was. so much. life. is going. to be complaining. that island crime has gone through the roof in the last couple of months across the country in june some 270 people were shot dead on new york street and it's a 154 percent increase from last year everyone talks about the murder all
12:53 am
the bill gardner a one year old boy who was shot dead at a barbecue party i mean if that's what barbecues localized right now then something definitely is going wrong. senior new york residents recall the bad old days when i'm in the 980 s. the 970 s. violent crimes were rampant and neighborhoods were no go zones. story. was so close it was just sometimes we were walking around town still. missing you know. little. excuse me guys or just walking around wondering like why. people have to say in
12:54 am
this particular area of new york if you don't mind i will ask you if you question if that's good. only our local but not messed up new york city because that's the new look you know what i've been doing it since all the 16 years old. i'm not. gonna know the number. a little. bit not could that it's really kind of set out. to a kind of new york city along with the cold and the surge. violent crimes in the city . which have nothing to do with not just want to reason leaders just i'd look for a reason to do something stupid. i
12:55 am
got a tax. cut they're going to take you out of my mental disorder so you can bullshit me and everybody got close small who didn't want to speak for me. he was doing. that was when you were there mostly due to him i. wanted perks and. he pretty much and it. just. takes time but this thing is better because the made public on the group i know told him were daft. because he's so. high note.
12:56 am
well i mean those guys were pretty nice and they didn't look like scary at all but they reminded us that the should not fall into the wrong crowd here so. that it could go in. the u.s. just like the rest of the world is fighting in against 19 it will no doubt achieve victory eventually but the question is what costs have every aspect of living in new york has been utterly destroyed from the guy on the corner with the hot dogs to wall street to long to theatre. it's very hard to fight with discord and on the rise to your own. and when those who are supposed to battle on the frontline are about to give up i just want like i don't want to. i want to be a help. you know the hero. and it was we were thrown
12:57 am
into something that we didn't ask for and nobody helped us the battle for new york is almost over but the new flashpoint still appear on the u.s. map so i think we're going to get a 2nd wave so we're not even there with the 1st wave of the 1st wave will go and that means that there will definitely be new casualties.
12:58 am
