lower starts right now. republican congressman matt gates is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to convince his supporters that he's an innocent man but all this spending might be a complete waste joining to talk about this is fair and cousins fairness i look at this you know i don't know who's less popular this week the academy awards production people or big aids the numbers are dismal on both of them but this guy he's in a freefall right now he's trying to spend his way out of it what's your take it's really interesting what maggot's is doing right now because obviously when there's a scandal you spin spin spin and so you can spin it but gates is in a district where he doesn't have to spend right this is a deep red district that already according to polls they still support him so why is he spending you know $116000.00 on direct mail advertising here in district one

it's because he understands that he has always had many primary opponents some of them you know kind of a little wacky but some of them serious contenders and those people are chomping at the bit to come in matt gates in next year's g.o.p. primary using this scandal as a way to finally take him down and overtake ok so what they have is interesting in his t.v. ads are fight back you're the victim of mad gates and here the victim because everybody's lying to you and he goes after c.n.n. which you know i get it see it in there's more trash t.v. on scene and then you can count but c.n.n. is not really going after i don't get that connection he's saying fight back you're the victim because c.n.n. is lying to you and they always live to the s. and b. c he's targeting them i think. roger stone he has roger stone doing all of this it's the weirdest it's the weirdest scenario right and you go to roger stone. when

you're desperate right now we see that in the past that is what roger stone does best but again i think he's using the c n n bit as a scapegoat because like you said c.n.n. is not going after him too hard but if he draws people's attention to say the daily beast that's breaking a lot of these stories that has all those receipts suddenly his supporters might say well well what is the daily beast let me go look at oh my god this looks or even worse so he's trying to misdirect people like go be mad at c.n.n. and i'm the victim and i'm with you and they're going to come after you next is one thing he said as a whole c.n.n. things have been set up fake news that you know and they've had to make so many apologies about their reporting so he's trying to capitalize on that interesting his legal fees he's $85000.00 in legal fees at this point and it's just started because i mean what he's looking at is sex trafficking and if that goes beth we're talking about a lot of talent in the clay yeah absolutely and that's the whole point of you know all of this maybe for nothing he may be spending all this money on advertising when

depending on the outcome of this he may not even be able to run for office this next year so this is going to be really fun to see how it plays out and interesting thing he said in these fundraisers and the folks in d.c. his people that he doesn't get along with he says i don't really have any friends in d.c. it's pretty obvious yeah they're not sending him any money because he can use as he can use of his campaign contributions for his legal fees most people don't understand that in a recent interview to see admitted that their algorithms are pushing corporate news instead of independent media no surprise here ok now this is this is called you tube ok it's not called corporate media tube but it's become a corporate media to let me show you how it is i know you look at this when we do a segment here all every segment behind us is him s n b c c n n m s n b c s. c.n.n.

why because they're paying you tube so darn much money it's generating advertising revenue for him and they're paying money they're advertising they're saying look if you'll put us up there and promote us and pushes we'll spend more money this is a really ugly story because they've made you know that the test right now is you tube is simply broadcast t.v. yeah it really is especially with their you know new streaming service and the premium memberships but you know susan widget's the the c.e.o. . of you know as we admitted this and that's the part people have to understand she did literally admit during a recent conference you know yes we're pushing corporate media sources because she says you know they're more reliable we don't want to push some yahoo down there who's doing videos from his base yeah that's the talking point is that yeah that's it she said from the basement butternut who knows all of this is not a basement you know so so the point the point being is that corporate media and

we've talked about this for years it was just a matter of corporate media everybody starts cutting their cable they're cutting their cable left and right and they're saying well gee i can go to youtube and i can get some my information there but now the information according to this new this management wallman who says this is what i'm going to do she's just giving you corporate media it's all c.n.n. n.b.c. a.b.c. c.b.s. it's all corporate media because they're paying them so darn much money to do it yeah and it's really disappointing because you have people who doing these channels on you tube these news channels where they actually do by the way go out and do real reporting out there on the ground there talking to people they're doing before you know request and doing videos on the results of that these are actual journalists and they're getting punished because they don't have the money that corporate media has and corporate media has now just taken off. or you tube and

they're not on it when they said that just not getting legitimate news stories we have to go to corporate media to do that i couldn't get it i couldn't get out of my head the komo story chris cuomo where they do a set it's all staged chris cuomo is coming out of his cellar now after fighting coven the rest of the story is he had come out of a cellar a week and a half before and it was just staged exactly what c.n.n. want to do but they're saying all look the reason the other stuff isn't credible is because they're shooting it down in their basement and they're just not credible reporters at this what this woman is just so far out of reality with this and i think it's going to start hurting this that there's going to be some serious competition i got a bit of a got about a minute tell me don't you see that happening somebody's going to move into space right absolutely we're already seeing you know some content creators moving over to twitch you know which is you know equally popular platform at this point and there's lots of talk and people saying why don't we start our own and i always kind

of laugh at that because i say listen i've been a part of multiple groups and we have tried that but you know we're there to support it you know but there is people there are groups that are that are saying we've got to move we have to do something but but independent media is dying in the meantime i think twitch is a is a threat when people start understanding that this woman the c.e.o. for you know for you tube is shoving this down everybody's throat you much you've cut your cable ok you've cut your cable but we're still not going to let you get away because we're going to have that same cable stuff on on you tube it's really kind of a train wreck possibility ferran cousins that you're going to think. it's a sad reality for millions of americans that in counters with law enforcement can quickly turn into a life or death situation oftentimes for no reason at all one man in virginia was gunned down during a 911 call another man was shot and killed from behind while driving

a vehicle my law partner david haynes is handling with most important cases of police shooting right now david start off by giving us the details about the fatal 911 shooting that took place. mike this is the latest killing of an unarmed black man in our country which he which occurred in the early morning hours of last wednesday april 21st when isaiah brown who is a 32 year old male called for assistance because his car was broken down the deputy same deputy actually gave him a ride home another call was made for more assistance because he was able to get another vehicle that deputy showed up mistook a cordless phone for a handgun and shot him when he was on arms what we believe was 10 times with 10 bullets still remaining in his body and i'd say brown is in intensive care right now fighting for his life this was a terrible breakdown with communication between despair not tease out the phone

a little bit i had what he had a phone in his hand right left the left right hand and he has the phone holding it up to the to the police officer is that right or fill that in a little bit more because it's not really clear that's exactly right what happened was he was in the home he placed a non 11 call using a cordless house front he remained on the phone with 911 dispatch the entire time informed dispatch that he did not have a weapon he did not have a gun and then he was outside on the road with the phone at that time you could hear the sirens coming approaching from on the audio and the dispatch instruction to hold his hands up because he had the phone in his hand which he did so he was following orders the deputy apparently then arriving on scene immediately jump to the conclusion that this must be a handgun which was on still an open line with 911 and he yelled commands at him and then unloaded a service weapon on isaiah brown well what was most from the body can footage that

would reveal about the shooting and what action is or what what i say are from because you're my law partner i want to disclose that what do we take in the whole this police officer accountable is there some is there some standard that he obviously violated tell me what tell me what your take is on that. exactly there are multiple police standards that have been violated here which will we're pursuing we're also calling are in the sheriff's office and a special prosecutor to release any additional audio at this time it's unclear if there is one or 2 dispatchers and if only certain audio has been released we also matters be reviewed by a special prosecutor for criminal charges we're asking that criminal charges be brought against this deputy will be filing a freedom of information act request immediately this week for the other not 11 audiotape the body cam footage is very poor you can't really see anything we need to know if there's dash cam footage and of course and we will be you know our

investigation in likely filing a civil rights suit on behalf of mr brown let me ask you this is there just an issue about training i mean look my memory of my memory of this when i read the facts was that the officer was heard on the body came saying where's his gun where's his gun what's the what's your take on that i mean he obviously believed there was a gun there what what what is that about yes and and there that appears to be a breakdown in communication between 911 dispatch and the deputy full 90 seconds before. mr brown had informed. dispatch that he did not have a gun did not have a weapon and we believe there was a failure of communication between the dispatcher and the officer it also may have been this one dispatch and the lady was trying to handle communications between mr brown and the officer at the same time which was simply too much also the officer made errors when he arrived on cd sure what he's going to call for backup and there

are a number of police tactical errors that he made as well as some like the officer could has taken refuge behind his car or this protection if you thought the man had a gun but anyway we'll see how this develops david thank you for joining me ok. thank you mark. coming up julia has been the center of attention among the intelligence community for almost a decade while the in from this week the leaks founder remains locked up in the u.k. president biden has signaled he still wants his son extradited to the u.s. where he could face charges of treason that more when we come up. hi folks joe namath's here and if you're on medicare this is important you're now

americans love. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country large understood the bargain you get a home and then you know rebel right as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. and think about the longer deeper history housings men in the united states not just that question of the american dream the bigger question of who the dream is for.

the hosts ask that question with them actually listens to the yes and then reacts to that answer folks does this really work here i've got a new show. wiki leaks founder julian assange has been hold way in the u.k. since 2012 'd he spent 7 years under house arrest and in ecuador in the embassy before literally being dragged to prison his supporters of campaign for his release yet the biden mr administration still won seem extradited to the u.s. i have a host of redacted tonight leaking of just one of the smartest really the smartest progressive in this business takes

a communication comedy angle but his stories are incredible look what do you believe is the biggest motivating factor for our government's continued push to extradite this guy just goes on and on doesn't it yeah it really does i mean it's incredibly just disgusting to watch the courts in the u.k. have ruled that he can't be extradited specifically because the u.s. prisons are so horrific that he would be a suicide risk and so all that needs to happen now is that they need to stop the appeals biden bind him mr asian and he would be a free man assad would be a free man tomorrow if they did that but they're not and actually we did get a slip up from one of our ruling elite leon panetta the former head of the cia revealed the real reason we kind of knew it that they are continuing to persecute assad and he said we just want this to send a message to others to not do the same thing meaning do not reveal our cellar

that's right that's the message don't tell of the ugly filthy things the cia has done or the f.b.i. has done don't tell us what the n.s.a. is doing to us every single day because that's bad so let's keep the guys locked let's just keep the guy locked up and hopefully the story will be that everybody journalist or otherwise is just terrified to actually tell us the truth what are the main concerns of his. borders. well obviously his health is a major one that he's been on healthy for years now anyone can take a look at a photo of him and know that this is not a healthy man i mean before these 2 years in belmarsh the harshest prison in the u.k. he spent 7 years like you said in the in a basically one room in the ecuadorian embassy so he's really been in close to solitary confinement for 9 years now he is not healthy people are worried about him worried about him getting coded and there's a 1000000 reasons that he should be released and part of the reason that i

mentioned that they did they're not extraditing him to the u.s. is because he is a suicide risk he's depressed he is having an incredibly love rough life and his supporters want him to again be free because this is a hero this is someone who revealed as we said these secrets the actual operating procedures of our american empire and so many countries around the world not just america but secrets that were from the russian government the chinese government australia per ruled britain so people think he was on some sort of just mission against america but he was really for a mission of transparency by governments around the world he revealed what howard zinn was telling us for decades and that. the. spook industries in other countries have just managed to main goal decency and democracy look i think this is interesting it seems like every american corporation media corporation is

talking about it talk about opposition leaders all over the world 'd and poor poor poor in a volley ok this is a guy i understand although all the people don't understand this this is a guy. he was a guy who made the statement that immigrants coming to his country are less than cockroaches and it doesn't seem to affect the corporate media about that he's the big victim now what is your take on this thing i want to same as mine. well you know i'm i'm close to a prison abolitionists i believe about 1100th of the prisoners we have in america but in most countries so i want to see most of these people freed but the idea that the media or our government somehow cares about the health of non-voluntary suddenly but they don't care about the health of julian assange they never have they don't report on it they don't care about it and they don't care about the health of the american people this is a time where in the middle of a pandemic and we can't get medicare for all we can't get our own american citizens

to have health care and suddenly they care about the health of the volley it's it's laughable on so many levels it's just being used as a propaganda trick yeah i mean on one hand you've got a guy who is a journalist you can call him whatever you want journalism begins with information this guy got the information he had the courage to put it out there and then every i mean every every president since that's happened has done nothing to say you know what maybe you ought to pay attention to what he said maybe we ought to react to what he said rather than having this guy rot away in prison camp thanks very much you can catch you can hear sleaze hosting artie's weekly comedy show redacted tonight it is truly a great show you can see his web site at least camp dot com let's let's let's follow the story live at morley as we go on ok i thank you for joining me thanks mike. boston scientific has reached $188000000.00 'd dollars settlement

nationwide over its phony marketing claims about certain surgical mesh products these products were found to be totally unnecessary for most procedures and ended up causing extreme pain and bleeding among patients per absolute permanent injury i've got robert price with me is one of the lawyers that made all that happen has been involved with the case for a long time robert tell us about this litigation but phyllis and about what this is about what is the case about why the subtle. and what's ahead of us thanks for having me on mike so the bosses scientific settlement was a sudden one about the pelvic mass products which were products that were implanted in women to treat incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse and things like that and you were in that case you have been working in that case and many other manufacturers for over 10 years and especially this this was a sudden on the half of a g.'s around the country that found that boston scientific had misled consumers misled doctors about the true risks associated with the device and ok so give us

a recap on what you're doing run know what we're doing now as we see a lot of these same manufacturers did the pelvic measures also have done hernia meshes for many years and it's the same byproduct the same synthetic plastic polymer used to repair her knee is as well as the pelvic organ issues as we just talked about as well what you tell you about the material that the thing that struck me is when you discovered that they were using non-medical grade 'd material talk about their use a non other reason fishing line basically the sold in a fishing store and talk about absolutely absolute was uncovered in trials a few years ago and we're working up the back story even even deeper what some companies do not necessarily all of them but several companies do this is they use a non-medical grade by product so literally just bottom shelf not approved for human usage type stuff it breaks down it degrades it actually says not a pew approved for human use right the stuff that you get from the factory actually

comes with a warning this is do not use this in the human body but they use it anyway use it anyway and what we're also discovering mike is that they are coming up with different essentially shell companies to run this stuff through so people don't know any better that's another what do you mean by that they're setting up shell companies they're moving from the manufacture 3 of the of the material moving through a shell company and then moving to the people who create the mesh product right there i to wash the information absolutely absolutely ok. so is this goes far as this goes forward we're talking about a hernia mesh what kind of injury does it cause what what should be people what should people be aware of so so a lot of these products have these gimmicky coatings and things like that on them and what we're seeing is the coating breaks down too soon it doesn't work correctly and these meshes actually they adhere to people's organs they'll blow out too soon they'll fail catastrophic injuries like yours internal bleeding is that organ port is a machine and there's

a material migrate through their system after it blows out it can it absolutely can it can blow out it can move over and then you can have some of the chemical leeching that goes on with this really low grade stuff high inflammatory responses that cause problems and things like that it's rather a one of the thing that struck me is this is a procedure that's not even necessary because a doctor that's trained without mesh can create he can fix or hernia without any of this garbage time so industry came in and said look you need this because you're a doctor who's not a specialist in fixing hernias but now you can increase your practice if you'll use our material is that kind of the scenario here and that's right we call it we can only get mixed messages which is they go to a doctor and say yeah you know we know this hernias real small and it would take you 203040 minutes to do this but it'll take you 5 minutes with this easy patch they think that you know the doctors a lot i mean i think it's f.d.a. approved think it's been studied when it really has in a lot of times unnecessary doctors don't need to do it but it happens because they

sold them a bill of goods and it's turned out the truth is is unveiled many years later actually when you look at the pelvic mess cases the juries jumped all over these these companies and these same companies right right robert thank you for joining me. by that some good news a federal judge has warned several drug companies that they're going to have a hard time convincing a jury that 800 percent price hikes on a diabetes drug was necessary. very farron cousin joins me to talk about this we have done so many stories on the idea that the pharmaceutical industry is raping the american public and it's amazing it's amazing when we do one of these stories you know if we do a story well you know we hate trump there's going to be 200000 people that show up for that when we talk about something is important is this they'll be 101520000 people it's amazing that people aren't paying attention to this pick up a story i know this is this is crazy and again this is the result of

a really good lawsuit where they're saying hey these 2 pharmaceutical companies basically colluded together to keep generics off the market for a couple more years and in the course of the discovery here they realize they will hold up not only did you collude to keep generics off the market you also kind of colluded to raise your prices by 800 percent galloping consumers instead of you know a couple dollars per pill to over $40.00 per pill and you the judge told him last week said you do realize you can have to go in front of a jury and you're going to have to explain to them why you did that and that's not going to help you i don't do this very often i just cracked up when i read the the fence lawyers for these companies this guy is left of his name's levy l.-e. i.v. blad ok left blent he says well there is no antitrust taking place here judge this is just good faith business dealing among friends with the other lawyer

another defense lawyer says judge we just raised the price 800 percent because we thought it was in the he really said i swear to god we just raise that 800 percent because we thought it was in the shareholders best interest you think so the point being in this judge showed some courage and said you know what we're going to let you make these arguments in a phone of a jury let's see what the jury thinks of the end of the day right and that really is the best thing for the judge to do just so. there and say listen people are going to be paying attention to this case and it's almost like i want you to come out here now i want you to make that argument for everyone to hear and let's see what have land and david mary i've got i've got i want to be there for there's an argument from the jury i don't think i'm going to follow you thank you for joining me thank you. that's all for tonight find us on twitter and on facebook at facebook dot com slash r t america where you can watch all our t.
