tv Watching the Hawks RT October 13, 2020 2:30am-3:01am EDT
2:30 am
a world where more than watching our society are over and i want to cross boy a boy image a pretty big moves madonna looks like he's back and all all from public public health care and you get the big companies come find out the companies that threaten their environment they got fined for pollution they're receiving good government money in the time work over bailing out big oil the fed steps meanwhile americans are still waiting for that extra check to keep their lights on so it's amazing to me how we continually to watch the american government decide time and time again to bail out these big businesses when all it would take is an act in congress to actually have another round of checks to americans who are still highly unemployed going into the holiday season with no end in sight even for those who are currently working who are on the chopping block we just were in a very bad place economically and i don't think that our leaders have been taken that a seriously as they should yeah because i think that they live in their own kind of version of a covert bubble you know other big kind of live in this world the i don't think
2:31 am
they i mean a lot of them you know i don't think that they really have any real experience with what's going on with people on a daily david day basis i mean you work alongside a lot of these government things is it really that big of a divide you know i mean we got out of debating because the majority of them don't actually they visit their districts in very small amounts of time typically around fund raising if we're talking about senators before the most part they're they're getting bundled in bankrolled by large corporations and lobbyist so there's a very little connection between them in the places that they actually serve and the ear that is often listened to the most or that you know that spoken to the most is that of the lobbyist in the special interest not that of the everyday american i think that we resolve this definitely at the crash of 08 which i do think that president obama's administration did as much as they could could there been more obviously i think there was a lot of haggling between congress members at that time as well but this is all around it's extremely egregious and crush rating because what we heard during the last round of checks was that it was the money was too much they. that still got
2:32 am
much there's a disconnect between how much things cost today yes i think that's the biggest pressure in the rental cost for a one bedroom across this country have x. astronomically risen over the past 5 years and with the original check money that with sent out it might have covered maybe 2 months of it that's not including any health care costs or other things that people had and that's a bridge smart aleck you'll suddenly hear politicians sit and talk about all day long how will giving you a little bit of money to help you through there's just too much $1200.00 is too much you'll be you'll be on welfare all the time you'll never want to go back to work and all of these excuses they use when it's our money at the end of the day what they're handing you back is your own money money that you already worked hard for and gave them to fund the government for situations like this it's absolutely ridiculous yet at least 41000000 in federal systems has been awarded the more than a dozen major donors the battle campaign tens of thousands of small businesses which found it very hard to get these emergency funds that were set aside to them these businesses however businesses owned by members of congress they managed to
2:33 am
land loans very quickly or by the family members of color their employee of miners applies suddenly oh and they're ok you know it just gets pressure and because we continue to see that there are different rules for people who have connections but all new people who are wealthy a lot of the money that was given out wasn't necessarily to those that was struggling businesses many of those were businesses that existed that would even count to small business as we saw you know steak houses you know existed in the leg or a soup the money it's a very fresh rating to the average american citizen when you're watching that happen it is i mean and then when you look at this big oil bailout that the fed has now put put us into according to researchers $56.00 oil and gas companies have issued $99300000000.00 with the since the fed initiate its bailout of corporate debt markets back in march which is the 1st time the fed's done something like this whether it's just taking directly on that debt as of late august the central bank has purchased over 355000000 in fossil fuel bonds down. wegner the editor or editor
2:34 am
of bailout watch said quote this is prolonging the life of the fossil fuel industry at a time when it needs to be phased out for communities around the climate basically fossil fuel kind of stepped up and so the hey we're struggling right now even before cobra there were struggling during cold less people driving but now he bail us out we need help like we would bail out the airlines at the exact same time that we're hearing environmental activists around the globe including those here argue for reduction in fossil fuels argue for us to look to alternative forms of energy yet we continue to fund money into something that on the back end we already know is causing major environmental problems for us for the people. there were many shocking and cringe worthy moments at the 1st u.s. presidential debate between president donald trump and former vice president joe biden if you could get through the interruptions conspiracy theories and lies you might have found a few in lightning moments but that would have required you to get past the barrage of lies trump seems to not only to kill time and again but the types of lives that
2:35 am
also put lives at risk during the debate in particular claimed his policies made insulin so cheap it's like water but alternative facts don't seem to get in the way of trying to popularity on the issue a recent poll from the kaiser family foundation found that 46 percent of surveyed voters believe trump had a better plan to lower drug prices only 42 percent favored by plain for most people the drugs like insulin cost the same as before if not more in reality insulin the popular diabetes drug cost roughly $300.00 a bottle in the united states most diabetics the $2.00 to $3.00 bottles per month and those with a ban stages of the disease require a whole lot more. chump is campaigning on lowering drug prices but folks just haven't seen that happen in the coburn 1000 hits or they just keep coming.
2:36 am
with 51000000 americans unemployed and health care being tied to their jobs even those who had access to insulin before don't have it now the cost of insulin has forced many patients to resort to drug rationing which causes blood sugar levels to rise to fatal levels. but rest assured when there is market turmoil like in all things in underground market emerges in the underground insulin market a network of people with diabetes share any extra insulin they have free of charge . but just last year colorado was the 1st of 12 states to implement a cap on co-payments for insulin but with the pandemic ravaging america the demand for insulin has gone up and insurance companies are taking advantage of it though it's illegal to share prescription medications it should also be illegal to price gouge and allow the sick to die simply because they cannot afford medication i couldn't agree with you more the reason it's illegal to share medications you don't want people exchanging drugs which we teach other than someone gets sick but at the
2:37 am
same time making it so and godly expensive just for someone to be able to afford insulin something that absolutely positively without about in order to live is absolutely ridiculous no it is and i think that to put it into full context we have to recognize that the high price of prescription drugs is a talking point on both sides of the aisle whether we're talking about donald trump or joe biden but the one differentiation we have to make here is that donald trump has been claiming for the past 2 and a half years that he has lowered prescription drug prices yet when people go to actually fill those prescriptions things haven't changed for the most part there are some drugs like insulin that have actually gone up over the past couple of years and their costs in america as you know has the highest price for street prescription drugs of any nation on the globe and doesn't really have the. positive health care outcomes that you would expect to come from it and colbert 19 has only proven to exacerbate the issues that we already have around race around prejudice is systemic failures and i health care system so this is just completely falling
2:38 am
apart and it breaks my heart that there's an underground market out there i mean i'm glad that people are saying you know what the hell with the other share there's a bar got extra i'm sure a woman neighbor who also needs it like i'm happy that they're doing that i'm happy that it's free of charge but what does that say about the country when that's the case i mean when you especially when you look at the percentages of people who are having to ration their insulin because of the very cost of you know absolutely so studies and surveys that show that one in 4 people are actually rationing their insulin and it stinks because at the end of the day blacks hispanics native americans or the people in this country that typically have diabetes more than anyone else they're also the ones who have bad medical reactions at higher levels than anyone else a lot of this is contribute to living in food deserts not having access to quality or healthy food but the other part is you have a lot of minorities who typically don't have access to quality health insurance either so they're not able to readily you know have their blood pressure checked have these insulin checks when they need to so they're really dependent on
2:39 am
a system that has failed them time and time again it. really should have people should be really angry about this whether you have know someone with it here in the u.s. you probably do know someone with diabetes it's pretty easy given the amount of sugar and corn syrup that's shoved down our throats every day it's not it's not a hard disease to suddenly do it but people should be very upset about this because no one should have to choose between their their food on the table or the medicine they need and that is ridiculous when we try to claim to be theirs great country absolutely and that is literally the question before many people right now they are whether they pay their food whether they pay rent whether they pay their utility bills because insulin is actually very expensive on average the majority of people who are in that higher tier of having serious that issues they're taking between for the. 6 bottles a month so if you're talking $300.00 to $400.00 per bottle that is a lot of extra cash coming out and again with the unemployment levels being what they are right now even for those who had health care that covered it before they
2:40 am
no longer have it because of the unemployment so it becomes very difficult you know it really hurts too because they always say the argument against like socialized medicine all that all that kills innovation and normal want to innovate because they can't make money on it you know to me it's like are we really that horrible of a people that we can't say hey we can innovate in health care simply because we want to do good that we don't need to put a dollar value would tach to doing good in order to do it i mean come on let's step up and be the better angels of ourselves and fight back against this and get that throw the greed argument out of there and throw the money out of it and actually start passing laws do provide health care for people so these people don't have to go to the black market and choose between food and i like that you bring up the laws because according to the american diabetes association $36.00 additional states have introduced insulin co-pay legislation but the pandemic stalled all progress on them by a pandemic i also mean it's an election cycle and pharmaceutical companies have paid certain campaigns insulin prices are high in the u.s. because there are few if any limits that exist to regulate the pharmaceutical
2:41 am
companies from jacking up the prices so this is one of those instances where regulation would really matter because it could make these drugs available to more people and we're not going to see that regulation because there's too many people paid off in congress and local legislatures all by big pharma to ever begin to dream of really regulating exactly where the top 3 places. politicians go after they leave congress that's not because they're just really smart scientists who know a lot about. it really a couple of degrees. right everybody as we go to break remember that you could also start watching the hogs on demand with a brand new portable t.v. which is now available on all platforms you have no excuse that are. coming up are the americans rachel bloodworms brings us the latest on the battle field with the controversy. back to the white house stay true to.
2:42 am
2:43 am
when so many find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground. just. get a list of all the i'll just. keep on going i want to make it i want to fly it why do you know i keep. telling you. but there are also friends that the words are still so but the soul feel hoping to do something. which. they have
2:44 am
about that wasn't possible that's also going to put them on the back of the road that. i. as the election approaches we feel it's necessary to ask a very simple question why do most potential voters describe themselves as independent cool and not affiliated with the political party on top of this poll holders want more choices institute party system limiting. democracy. you can capitalize on lot of capital and you can have tapped it all without giving people an interest rate to incentivize them to say. and the reason to do that is that if there is a downturn like the coke then there's plenty of seed stock there's plenty of capital in your capital system smoothed it out but if you deface the current. and
2:45 am
you interest rates are 0 and there's no incentive to say therefore there's no capital then you don't. after apples and you have a cup soccer city run by central banks then the worse it gets the more they pay themselves. a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells their bodies on the streets many of them under-age. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge no if you're going to exploit a child here in los angeles they were going to come out you see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight the 6 trades. is your media a reflection of reality. in
2:46 am
a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or inmate in the shallows. so far it appears that u.s. president donald trump yes the brand name in chief himself is on his way back to
2:47 am
the white house after a few quick days at walter reed hospital this up there facing incredible controversy and scrutiny for leaving the hospital on sunday afternoon for a p.r. stunt joy or. good show to showcase himself to all the friends were gathered outside the hospital ortiz ridge bloodworms joins us now live from walter reed with the details of this amazing week. yeah that's right we're out here where president trump is now saying that he feels better than he has in 20 years after just a few days of treatment at the walter reed medical center we're standing out here and just on the other side of this fence there's a chopper waiting to take him back to the white house now here now that he would be leaving on twitter where he also included his message a statement to say that americans should not be afraid of kobe 19 even as the death toll continues to increase here in the united states now what we've seen here outside of the hospital is a number of supporters that have gathered every single day that he has been
2:48 am
admitted now trapped decided that he himself would take a break from the hospital on sunday and he was seen taking part in a motorcade parade of sorts where he was seen in the back seat of a car wearing a mask and waving at his supporters now that move was met with a lot of criticism from many who say that the secret service agents who were involved had their health but it risks that criticism included a message from an attending physician out walter reed who took to twitter to write every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary presidential drive by just now has to be quarantined for 14 days they might get sick they may die for political theater commanded by trying to put their lives at risk for theatre this is insanity now so far we know the terms press secretary and multiple aides have tested positive for kobe had 19 but the white house says it has no plans to release the exact numbers of staff members who have also contracted the virus meanwhile trump has been very vocal on twitter and in his latest video he said that
2:49 am
he has learned a lot during his time in the hospital take a listen. so it's been a very interesting journey i learned a lot about kovi i learned it by really going to school. this is the real school this is in the let's read the book school and i get it and i understand it and it's a very interesting thing going to be letting you know about it in the meantime we love the usa and we love what's happening. we are now just 29 days away from the election and clearly trump is trying to show strength in the face of this 19 diagnosis but that hasn't stopped the virus from having an impact on capitol hill and just this week we've seen the read you the senator's tested positive for seen this includes 2 on the senate judiciary committee senate majority leader mitch mcconnell confirm the floor proceedings have been canceled until october 19th but he says the hearings to confirm supreme court justice nominee tony blair are still expected to begin next week on october 12th now the senate is also expected to take
2:50 am
up a vote on the stimulus bill this week but it's not clear yet if it will be can successful considering the fact that it includes provisions that democrats have accused republicans of using to try to do the bare minimum for the american people so as they are right now the 2 sides do remain on gridlock reporting from outside the walter reed medical center rachel blevins art scene. with trump to leave i mean i think you said sometime after 630 which as we're doing this now why not a replay but in this version of the i'm sure that's going to be any minute now what does it look like the group the crowds getting excited is there any movement what's happening. well right now earlier we saw a lot of crowds right back here but since then police have blocked off the street and really kind of quieted everything down exactly where we are now we where we are now we've seen supporters outside all day with american flags with truck 2025 and
2:51 am
we did see some counter protesters bill a lot of them came through sort of in their cars when they were able to drive through here right they would yell back and forth at the protesters we've also seen a very heavy meal. be a presence we've seen dozens of reporters all across the street and they all seem to be here to see exactly what trump's next move is going to be and what it's going to look like when he does leave the hospital the circus continues that there's so much for your reporting where it's all. thing. the u.s. airline industry is ramping up its covert 19 safety precautions airlines are considering testing passengers for coke at 19 in the hopes of breathing life back into the industry so the coronavirus emerged air travel has dropped by 70 percent in the u.s. and some believe the testing might help people gain the confidence to fly once again parties alex the he'll of it as the story. with hundreds of planes grounded. u.s. airlines are hoping to take off once again by implementing
2:52 am
a new coronavirus strategy the industry's planning to make over 1000 tests available for passengers before they board flights airlines including united american alaskan and jet blue have announced programs which will offer mail in tests that will be sent to passengers homes or rapid tests at airports hopes are by implementing testing passengers would feel more confident to fly while lifting the need for travel restrictions and mandatory quarantines in the states many are seeing this as a possible lifeline for the airline industry which has been ravaged by the coronavirus september 30th was the last day of a $25000000000.00 federal bailout package which assisted with payrolls in the industry and the airlines were hoping to see a new pandemic plan take effect last week the republicans are blaming the democrats for the lack of action was just days ago because the fertile of more than 32000 jobs combined at united and american airlines nancy pelosi has said numerous times
2:53 am
that she would keep us here to get it done that was in july. she made his way all summer but who did she really make way small businesses that have now declared bankruptcy are those people that are employed by them there are now out of work or those at their unemployment do not get the extra benefit or what about the airlines could she not see past politics for wants politics aside it is estimated that the u.s. airline industry supports approximately 10000000 jobs and accounts for 1.7 trillion in u.s. g.d.p. . while not necessarily a solution the idea of using covert 1000 testing as a way to boost the airline industry is not new and has become commonplace in some countries for months france germany and iceland were among the 1st countries to announce copa $1000.00 testing for passengers their airports in russia
2:54 am
a diagnostic test is being offered at one of moscow's biggest international airports with results being returned within an hour and talking about russia that country and finland have kicked things up to another notch by introducing man's best friend into the mix finland has already deployed dogs in helsinki's international airport to sniff out those with covert 1000 in less than a minute at a 94 percent accuracy rate according to some studies while in russia dogs are still in training live with the rickover we have 2015 work on dog i believe will have the 1st read all of them by december and currently there is not a single test that offers 100 percent accuracy the rate at which the tests fail to detect the virus in a person who is actually infected known as a false negative rate ranges from 2 percent to 50 percent depending on the test never mind the concern for false positive results at the fact that people who are
2:55 am
tested a few days in advance have time to catch the virus before flying and that testing is optional it is obvious that the danger of catching corona virus on a flight is not gone in addition the tests are pricey in the u.s. they cost between 80 and 250 dollars while some health experts hope that a quick and accurate test will be made available at airports in the future for now they believe that even if all passengers on a plane are tested masks and physical distancing should still be recommended the latter being quite difficult in a plane full of people for r t m alex mileage. absolutely fascinating as i said earlier reported you know that the extra cost. this is going to end up finding its way back to the to take an older that's not just the most frustrating part i think it'll be great to have rapid testing it on the day before people get on flights but the cost of it is going to be prohibitive for a lot of people would be awful all right everybody about is our show for you today remember in this world we are not told to tell you all i love to you. and i don't
2:56 am
2:57 am
seems wrong. just don't. let me. get to shape out they become agitated and in. the trailer. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. you can topple is a capital crime and you can't have kept it all without giving people an interest rate to incentivize them to save. and the reason to do that is that if there is a downturn like the coke then there's plenty of seed stock there's plenty of capital in your capital system to smooth it out but if you deface the currency and
2:58 am
you interest rates are 0 and there's no incentive to say therefore there's no capital then you don't have to apples and if you have a club talk or see run by central banks then the worse it gets the more they pay themselves. i. just say that the list of i'll just. keep coming i want to make i want to why did why do you know i keep. telling you.
2:59 am
but there are also friends that the us are still so but the sole beautiful thing to do something. which. they value bob was i was able to laugh. with someone of that you know we're going to have. as the election approaches we feel it's necessary to ask a very. simple question most potential voters describe themselves as independent or not affiliated with the political party on top of the. voters want more choice which is the true party system limiting. democracy.
3:00 am
it's the 4th day of a fragile truce between armenia and azerbaijan. you need to hear from both sides of this. but the 2nd wave of the coronavirus taking its toll on health care systems around the world a new survey finds that a large number of nurses ready to quit. on the world health organization says a lot. because they call significant collateral damage particularly among poor populations. using lockdown as your primary control method downs just one.
