Auto show as a approaches from our car from the forward to the trip improved for the new chairman happens you know to try to. Produce. This because of global was going to have to close to this incident you know why would you most of us have looked like a bunch of us moving this photo. And youre fighting with the folks for. The left just before she was about 4 to 6 months but isnt the sound. Greetings and salutations as we stand here staring down the dawning of a Global Pandemic there are many Safety Measures and precautions that countries and communities across the globe are adopting or considering in their efforts to prevent and contain the spread of the coronavirus efforts include things like closing schools and universities and acting travel bans teaching proper senator kerry practices like say washing your hands executing a massive 37000. 00 strong series of military exercises with nato allies along the russian border in europe. Wait what was that last part again yes well massive crowd drawing events like w ws wrestle mania the 2020 olympics and yes even the coachella music best. Coachella have been talking about canceling postponing or limiting crowd sizes at their abends the u. S. Military Industrial Complex is apparently exempt from all fear of as of spreading the coronavirus and is moving forward with whats being called defender europe 2020 so what does this latest adventure in militarism entailed well according to nato his very own website exercise though for a new europe 20 is a u. S. Led multinational exercise it is the largest deployment of u. S. Based forces in europe in more than 25 years with 20000 u. S. Soldiers deployed directly from the u. S. To europe so 20000 u. S. Troops along with them additional 17000 soldiers already in europe will be Running Drills from the baltic to the black sees all in an effort to quote demonstrate the u. S. Militarys ability to quickly deploy a large force to support nato and respond to any crisis. Or in laymans terms and reality find a fun way to spend 340000000. 00 of taxpayer dollars to fight an imaginary war boosting the cold war 2. 00 tensions that were all living under and risk further spreading a highly Infectious Disease what oh yes boy do i love my military and the us military Industrial Complex nothing like a good batch of war games to get us all watching the hawks she wants whats going on the city you streets you want to. Do so youd like to see the crisis joyce state. Rolls royce gracie suggests least systemic deception is to late show which will be some big deal. Welcome everybody to watching the hawks. And im of the chicago boy oh boy oh boy oh boy what a story i cannot believe that with all of the ruckus and all of the fears about this virus and we might cancel wrestle mania but the military machine is going to go on with some major drills with my mates absolutely were seeing like you mentioned schools being closed were seeing more and more people 8 more people abandon taking Public Transit were seeing folks not get on airplanes were seeing coachella basically disappear and all of these things moving and this is the one that they decide to keep and i dont know about any health care precautions that theyre taking through this process because none of that was announced but this still things to be incredibly ridiculous especially considering the fact that were still working to thebes the impact. Bar it looks like corona virus continues to spread you know whats whats amazing to me is this is 20000 soldiers from the u. S. Joining 9000 show soldiers already in your plus 8000 soldiers from 10 different European Countries all who practice waging war against russia like russia is truly there is great threat to us. Todays day and age and i want to throw those subjects and curiously when asked about the impact of the coronavirus on the drill secretary general Jens Stoltenberg told the a. F. P. Quote there would be no cancellation of nato exercises but they could address that if the situation evolves yet theyve already cancelled these things in south korea and things like that so what makes this one so special exactly also the secondary is what does this mean if it evolves you just see people drop and get think like well what does evolution actually mean it in and to your point earlier. We heard during some of the democratic debates some of the earlier democratic president ial debates when asked about the greatest threat to the United States i believe it was 2 people who said russia and in that context they were talking about technological threats they were talking about social media they were talking about implicating campaigns getting people to leave one thought of the other depending on what was posted on facebook or twitter they werent talking about anything that had to do with International Affairs they were talking about war so its very interesting to me that this is now where were putting so much bonds and so much troops i think there is more explanation needed as to how russia became an elevated threat this is in the cold well let me let me give you one of the explanations a retired u. S. Colonel in the right observed writing a war she says with war games against north korea suspended in south korea over the past year and reduced military operations in iraq and syria confrontation in europe is the next best location for attempting to keep the military Industrial Complex with all its major election donors in business during the 2020 u. S. President ial elections she clearly feels like look you see Everything Else kind of winding down your email still use iran and use that kind of thing but at the end of the Everything Else is kind of winding down so lets keep pumping up this russia we need to Start Talking about you know how do you justify building Aircraft Carriers when youre fighting terrorism you cant but if youre fighting a big country then you we are we need that Aircraft Carrier a big country that has shown no signs of actually being in a fight right now is that this is extremely problematic because it goes against all usage one of our forces but also the buildup of the of the costs associated with managing Something Like this for president for an administration or country being the u. S. That has gone out of its way over the past few years to showcase just how much we dont want to get involved in conflict and this is a very interesting move. It truly truly is and its. Just wish i didnt have to see it still gets me every time i see that. Victims and journalist seeking justice and trying to unravel the mystery behind the Jeffrey Epstein case suffered a major legal setback in recent weeks as a judge rejected an appeal from miami herald to release documents that were pertaining to the case these are very Important Documents investigative journalist julie brown and the herald were seeking papers that involve the Court Proceedings between epstein the victim. Abstains friend and alleged groom or his Elaine Maxwell the documents that many believe contained details of various World Leaders and high profile individuals who allegedly engaged in the systemic rape of underage girls on a private jet and island joining us now to help us better understand why the judge ruled against releasing the documents is legal journals investigative reporter. Thank you as always for coming on. Thank you for having me so i got to ask 1st why did the judge turn down this request what was the legal excuse used. Well it was a 4 page document the miami herald characterize it as basically mocking but she gave the same reasons that she did the 1st time that essentially that the case those documents concerned has already been settled and theres no relevant reason to the judicial Decision Making process including the publics right to know that would justify releasing them so attorneys for the miami herald had supported virginia goo for his legal team and making those records public in order to identify people who they say enabled this sex trafficking ring that made abstain so incredibly popular across the globe and made him tons of money as well but who freed alleged victim of teenage secor sex ring years ago had filed a civil complaint a defamation complaint against his longtime girlfriend who she said was also her groom or just plain maxwell in 2015 and of course in her accusations she says maxwell groomed her when she was only 15 to be a sex slave and she said she was based. Trafficked around the world to high profile people including Prince Andrew among a number of others and they believe that there are many more motions many more names that would identify more people that were involved in this and both the miami herald and who free were trying to speak on behalf of victims who they say didnt really get a fair shake they got a raw deal they never had a chance to really face their accusers and in court of course we all know abstains past now but they wanted to have these names public so it basically put a stop to any future criminal activity that these people may have been involved in or continue to be involved in and does this mean the public will never see the documents. You know i guess she said never say never because prescott the judge in this case said some the documents could be released on a case by case basis if an argument could be raided basically successfully that they should not remain sealed but this is been such a back and forth for some time she isnt the 1st judge of course to take a look at these particular controversial documents her rulings support one of the initial rulings in sealing these. Documents if you will and that judge a sense passed so shes continued to uphold those rulings but you know you have the 9th Circuit Court of appeals in San Francisco that basically made an opposite ruling and that was what the miami herald attorneys were arguing they say hey you know we understand that you didnt want to make these this trove of documents public we feel like the public has a right to know we think its an issue of Public Safety and especially the night court Circuit Court of appeals said we think they should be public too and they brought that up to press guy and she says i dont care what the 9th circuit thanks im saying no no the 1000000. 00 thats going to be eventually released i hope so i mean the 1000000. 00 question is what is in these files you know we have some idea from the from the from his legal team but you know at the end of the day we all want to know what what could be in the news. I know and apparently its just a treasure trove there were a lot of unsealed motions i mean motions that had been followed up on they wanted to unseal those. Any number of basically documents are related to the original investigation into epstein which we all know originated in miami it wouldnt even have come to light if it werent for the miami herald looking into this and there were a lot of questionable actions that were taken on this case from the beginning including the fact that initially these documents this entire case was sealed under a higher level of government seal basically that was almost used in spook cases if you will so that level of secrecy was removed and so thats why you had some of these files come to light but a great number of them still remain in the dark if you will and thats for the exact reason that you would suspect him why the legal team for both free as well as the miami herald wanted to release because they say it contains the names of high profile government leaders as well as celebrities who allegedly traveled with epstein on his jet to have sex with these teenage girls as well as his property on the Virgin Islands and according to miami herald authorities there just last month brought a Civil Enforcement action against epstein state saying that this disgraced financier and his lawyers ran a criminal enterprise so that sure smacks of you know sex trafficking and they were making money off of it and a lot of important people were associated with that and they sure dont want their names out there and it looks as though the court is helping them hide. People under age people but we cant forget about all of this is there to underage women. And what do you think the case stands now. Well they say theyre going to continue to fight for the truth and you know this initial case involving hers was settled in 2017 they filed this additional you know Defamation Case and its been going back and forth with her this particular defendant who free as well so i think theyre just going to continue to fight to get that information out there they may have to try a different approach but for now this particular approach is gone because essentially pressed to deny. Their motion to reconsider her decision so unless they have a new reason or a new evidence comes to light as to why these documents should be released theyre going to have to find a different angle to approach this case well i got to say molly thank you so much as always for enlightening us on whats going on with the latest in the jeffrey up stephen trial well the Jeffrey Epstein case and all of that and all the aftermath of his death was caused thank you so much for the great reporting once again Molly Burroughs always a pleasure.

Will be able to build one more devices coming in so coming up Award Winning journalist chris hedges drugs to discuss what the United States values or health care or war but you never can stay true to what you. Want adoptions driven by banks failing and countries failing and now in lebanon theyve got a huge crisis and of course big plans come to the rescue. What is the difference between embarrassing gaffes and elder abuse joe biden certainly excels at the former and maybe is the big the latter we are told mention of Mental Health is limited to what degree is the public the right to know. As the corona virus continues to spread across europe asia and parts of the United States people are in panic mode italy is effectively on lockdown airlines trains and other modes of mass travel are getting in fear employers are advocating for telecommuting schools and colleges are closing over coronavirus the rates and the white house is in a state of chaos president trouble after initially blaming the democrats for the virus is now attacking the media over its coverage of the coded 19 hes taking heat for his reaction to the grown a virus and lack of a plan to handle it democrats on the 2020 president ial campaign trail are also faced with addressing this Health Care Issue head on sooner Bernie Sanders spoke at a roundtable in detroit alongside Public Health experts one of them registered nurse Deborah Berger pointed directly to americas apocrypha and misplaced priorities when she shot down a question about how a free covert 1000. 00 vaccine would be paid for a burger president of National Nurses united pointed out how we never 7 ask how to pay for other bad things like polio our government seems to continually find pots of money to fund inless wars in the military Industrial Complex goes for broke when it comes to disease prevention. We should all be concerned in outraged what good is a vaccine if the population can afford it. Cinders thing interest is calling on the Top Administration to make any corona virus vaccine free and available saying quote does anybody in their right mind believe that if youre rich you should be able to afford a vaccine and save your life but if youre poor youve got to die. So much to unpack here here discuss more on the coronavirus an uphill battle for free that thing is r ts host of contact. Welcome chris chris always a pleasure to have you on i want to start im just going to bring this up look its not surprising to anybody or anyone here that the u. S. Posture kind of seems to favor providing a potentially life saving vaccine to the wealthy and insured over the poor and uninsured that seems to be our you know case over the years. The wealthy and privileged are naturally healthier they can just afford the medications the poor can but this its interesting because this is an Election Year and you know you always hear the promises every Election Year the things are going to be different why do you think there hasnt been a Real Movement on making this vaccine for youre fighting back against that idea of the you know this Public Health issue you know where is the form well because for profit pharma and Insurance Companies have a death grip on our Health Care System in the primacy is not about. Taking care of the health of americans its about profit thats why our drug prices are 4 times and oftentimes more than that higher than in canada thats why we are struggling through. A system where even if you have Health Insurance you cant afford the copays i mean is it the vaccine is one issue but the other issue is that because we dont have universal health care as we did when i lived in europe. And because copays and premiums are so high youre going to have a significant part of the population that isnt going to get tested because they dont want to pay it because they cant pay it and we also have. Huge Homeless Population we have 25 percent of the worlds prison population all of these people have picked up in a century put in warehouses you know. These are just ticking time bombs because this virus spread so easily that once you are in a confined space like that it explodes. Healthcare system which is about the primacy of profit and not about health is going to exacerbate the problem in any vaccine i mean theyre talking about if they get one it wont be till the end of the year and this virus is going to spread a lot faster than that but of course youre right to bring it up. The whole idea especially since this is a Public Health emergency and probably about to become a pandemic. You dont protect your population by making sure drug manufacturers are making profits hand over fist i mean theyre there in congress goals. Senator Chuck Schumer recently called. To be covered by medicare and he wants to get that in the emergency spending bill what do you think. Mitch mcconnell is in charge well lets be clear whos really in charge. Of the johnson and johnson and all the big. And they have. Long distorted and destroyed our Health Care System. To further their own interests. I think that we are unlike countries like france or Great Britain where everyone has health care as a human right the coronavirus potentially. Could strike the United States. In ways that they dont in europe because you have such a significant portion of the population that is either uninsured or underinsured and that leads to a very healthy. Lation when you dont have that base level of care of course thats the wrong which means the virus is going to be able to do more damage well i mean 1st of all we dont know how big it is in the states but if no one gets tested i mean even people who have it can get test kids to test kids they said i didnt work i mean this and this is trumps 700000000000 dollars i read about that from the c. D. C. We have hundreds of Unfilled Positions i mean this is just nuts i mean for an advanced country its absolutely nuts and advanced industrial country but you know we do have money for. To do with and thats one of the things i really appreciate the head of the nurses were standing up yes saying that the other night saying look we have money you know that we can send troops all the way around the world we can do these large you know exercises in europe of over 37000 people but we cant spend money here at home to develop a treatment or a cure for this virus if they even begin to try to do a cure because we know theres no money to cure right yeah well thats right i mean we want to spend more money on military bands than we do on the state department i mean i study classics and this was the death of the roman empire i mean you had the roman empire had a Standing Army of 1000000 people you add the senate was the whole republic itself was just a facade like ours the senate was a joke in the legislative branch ineffectual just like ours and you had essentially an oligarchy of a few dozen families. Looting and pillaging the resources of the state for their own in the very similar kind of situation so theyre not worried because they will have access to medical care and services that are denied to the rest of its all about serving that tiny oligarchy at the expense of the rest of the population and thats what makes the coronavirus so particularly dangerous in a system like ours and i think you probably i think i kind of know what youre going to say to those next question. But we know about the health care the pharmaceutical industry as well as the Insurance Industry being multibillion dollar multibillion dollar corporations that literally. For the preservation of health and human life do you think that the coronavirus pandemic is going to force the leadership to finally look at the industries that they are going to support quality care and access to medications for all people regardless of income because these are the industries not only do they fund the politicians and only do their lobbyists write the legislation but lets not forget that the biggest advertisers cable channels like c. N. N. Come from the Health Care Industry its why every time they have a town hall you have these c. N. N. Hosts. Essentially asking the questions that big pharma big insurance handsome which is to discredit the whole idea of universal which we know from statistical studies like physicians for a National Health plan you know we spend far more money system and we have the worst Health Care System in the industrialized world because cameraman exactly 40 percent or something goes towards administrative costs. I mean half of all bankruptcies because of medical. Emergencies for those people havent surance but they essentially as soon as you have serious medical conditions youre priced out so all of this is is i mean its symptomatic of the entire within the whole system but with the emergency of the corona virus a lot of people are going to pay for their lives because these corporations have put profit ahead of human life do you think we have the capacity to handle the coronavirus or did we respond to what we definitely responded to i mean theres no question about it we saw it coming. House didnt see it coming but all the medical establishment certainly saw it coming so we actually could have had time to begin to prepare we didnt. And i worry that as long as these for the for Profit HealthCare Industry is in charge the priority is completely inverted from what it should be and. And then because of the social breakdown i mean the Homeless Population they dont all have they can go on amazon and buy pay 50. 00 for 8 ounces of Hand Sanitizer which is i think now what it cost you if you get it so so you know were were in a were in a very i think were a very dangerous situation and its not that the you know the mortality rate is that high as what 2 to 4 percent or something its just that so many people would get it so youre really looking potentially the kind of death mortality rate that we saw with the spanish flu i mean youre talking to millions and millions of people i mean the london review of books i think ran a piece yesterday that there are 30000000 i meant of the numbers were staggering 15 to 30000000 potentially d you know that is deaths the deaths you know i hope i dont want to see that have to be the wake up call but i think tragically it might it be just going to say thank you so much work on not always a pleasure you are having your d inside brother.
