In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or in maybe in the shallows. Greetings and sell you take shit in the world of us pandemic politics we are on public manipulation overdrive my friends with more than 70000 us deaths and climbing we havent seen this kind of spin control coming out of washington d. C. Since w m ds and dick cheneys iraq war and you can find no better example of this than from our very own brand name in chief us President Donald Trump who took to the airwaves to. Day night and laid bare just who the American People are to him and the business interests that he represents and was created by take a listen. Up healing are great citizens of this country to a certain extent and to a large extent as warriors. Theyre warriors we cant keep our country as we have to put our country. Warriors yes we are all of us we are soldiers and love fights in the great war against. Wages who exactly are we fighting or more importantly what exactly are we fighting for are we fighting the virus that threatens us are we fighting for the health and safety of our friends and loved ones well my friends the president and sort of those questions as well take it away donald i created with a lot of other very talented people and the people of our country the greatest economy in the history of the world the best numbers weve ever had the best markets i think we had 144 days of wreckage stock markets and then one day they said we have to close our country and now its time to open it up. Yes my Friends America will be opening up soon not for the ideals of liberty and freedom definitely not for safety your health or its own but the greater good of wall street and the one percent and of course mr trumps impending reelection we cant forget that we are fighting for that too that its why we are warriors well if you look at how america treats its soldiers and veterans i think the more apt word to use in this new war would be cannon fodder because as g 8 here writes in the nation the botched Pandemic Response resembles americas failed wars in vietnam and iraq not just in ineptitude but in terms of in justice as those as with those wars there is no real shared sacrifice. That is so very very true you see like always the poor and working class americans the nurses the m. T. A. Workers the meat packers theyll face the real wrath of this pandemic while the elite president bone spurs and nancy pelosi are super expensive ice cream they get to sit this one out and their yachts and mansions as they make their donors money off of your heart and sacrifices and putting your own butt on the line and i think that is why we are here today watching the next. Letter so lets see this is this you always see. Grace see this least says to me just says so which. You. Well remember watching the i robot and im of the you know maze of theyre using a lot of war language to describe americas response to this virus hear the president call us all warriors were warriors you know fighting to reopen america so wall street can make money then i think there are a few people put forward a very interesting scenario in this of well if or if were going to use war language then we should start looking at people who failed the United States as war criminals people like trump people like the you know the politicians who stand up and have allowed 70000 of us to die i like it its a way of turning at the its a way of turning this whole thing on its head because what President Trump is trying to do is create this sense of patriotism among americans if youre fighting against aids in beitar if youre fighting against some someone or something that is trying to destroy the United States theres a rally around the flag that comes with that and have Congress People having Congress People to stand up to showcase that this theres another side of that and to paint that picture as well i think is going to help many people to be able to wade through this dichotomy that the president himself set up yeah because. No im saying that we shouldnt be you know fighting for our rights and liberties and no ones saying that we shouldnt be fighting and doing everything we can to stay healthy and safe as a country but this like couching it in order to maintain order within this fight youve got to be good soldiers and sacrifice a few to the cause whats the cause of all wall street wall street only you know only 30 percent or so of americans actually have money in wall street that doesnt represent the whole the economy is not america i know its a unpopular thing to say but capitalism isnt what made this country great absolutely and washington doesnt care about the death toll and you know weve seen that there is no theres no you know remorse from them as it relates to the thousands of americans who potentially lives are at stake right now and will be if we open up without having the precautions necessary we know that we dont have a vaccine thats probably years out actually we know that we are able to Contact Trace were not able to do it effectively and there are many states that are trying to create their own Contact Tracing teams but even thats going to take a while and its a long time before were out of the dark on this but you know you know who is d who also i would include in the you know covert 19 pontificating on who considered a war criminal you know people who profit off of the hurt and sorrow of others United Airlines announced that they would be cutting 15000 airport staff and baggage handlers hours from 40 to 30 hours a week this comes after the u. S. Treasury gave United Airlines part of the corona coronavirus aid relief and Economic Security or carriers always love those names. They gave the airline 5000000000. 00 of us tax dollars but now suddenly theyre cutting down hours of their staff. And they can get away with it because the conditions for accepting federal support stated that airlines have to retain their staff at the same pay rates but didnt mention how many hours they could work being go and you know the private sector is very shrill when it comes to things like this and they know that they cant let those individuals go because they. Would be a violation of the terms of the money that they agreed to get however they can reduce these hours and everything is extremely fine there is no Penalty Associated with that at all does it hurt the employees absolutely but this is something that we should have seen coming it should have actually been a part of aig there shouldve been a clause in there that eliminated that being a practice as well because weve seen this time and time again if you tell someone that they cant fire people they wont do it however they will put them in a very studious position but we will never see those causes why because of lobbyists and guess who is next on the docket to steal taxpayer money during the covert param demick leaf airing of the intercept is now reporting that here on k. Street in washington d. C. Lobbyists have stopped. Campaigning to make sure professional employees problems are eligible for taxpayer funds the push also includes a demand for an additional 25000000000. 00 for canceled events and other laws revenue from the coronavirus pandemic yes my friends now while obvious want our tax dollars the same ones that they steal from us for whoevers paying them i mean its just getting a degree we have to bail out lobbyists no i love the term professional influence peddler and is that the what they are doing a lobbyist will always find a way to crawl from under some rock and take money it doesnt matter what situation it is they will find that way they have been part and parcel of creating a lot of the legislation that has hurt people civically those in times of trouble specifically those when it came to trying to get money to get Affordable Housing and things like that lobbyists have not been the friends of the American Public who are an extremely long time and right now they found just another way where they end up with money in their pockets while everyone else is struggling and so the great great great lets bail them out today theyre not able to you know influence washington to have those big luxurious parties where they can whine and died and say hey vote for this bill because it helps all those small little sector of the population ill leave it with a bit to get your reaction to this according to the Washington Post count appeal. Stanley black and decker pretty household names levi strauss the jeans maker office birger Company Steelcase and yes the World Wrestling entertainment have paid out a combined 700000000 in cash or dividends to shareholders while at the same time shattering operations and laying off employees during this covert 19 pandemic that says a lot that theyre paying off shareholders weve been laying people will. Follow the money. People are eager to go back to normal whatever that is code 19 drastically change the way we do business and manage our daily lives everything from church and shopping to school and the way we work has been up and and not everyone is happy for weeks now parents have been pseudo homeschooling their kids as primary secondary and collegiate schools are shut down though they are doing their level best the stress of being a working parent and a 1000000000 teacher is taking its course Remote Learning was supposed to be the answer but its wrought with problems like student gage meant in a classroom engagement can be monitored teachers can adjust and bring flair and excitement to the coursework Student Learning styles can be adapted to but those far remote learners havent seen these types of opportunities through learning the other big issue is one of access low income and minority students tend to fare worse in Remote Learning environments these students dont have a harder time because of education with pension deficiencies but because of barriers like a lack of personal computer well why yes in 2020 the Digital Divide is widening the push to get kids back in the classroom is being led by districts across america with educators fearful that more time out who was all in a brain drain and students falling behind but not everyone is suffering from the pandemic changes in fact more employers are considering making permanent work from home positions yeah its a covert 19 for c. E. O. s to learn that folks can be productive without sitting in a Traditional Office space or being micromanaged shock. Nationwide the insurance giant recently announced a work model allowing the majority of their locations to continue working from home this move also saves businesses and corporations big bucks as they pull out of rural contracts and say goodbye to high rise buildings the move will spell trouble for commercial real estate but flexibility savings and transportation costs and more peace of mind for workers this is one of the most interesting kind of contrasts to come out of what weve been dealing with over the last few months is that you have you know big businesses are realizing that like a brilliantly the people can work from home and they can be productive in their work just as hard as of whether theyre in a cubicle or kitchen kitchen counter. But then also see the contrast of them education falling off what you have at this Remote Learning is just failing miserably where you know what you know what is it about the current design of Remote Learning groups working with jim spellman summers with a few things the current design of Remote Learning didnt take into consideration 2 of the largest groups of students one being those students who have special needs and special education coursework those students are going to require a lot more on the on the front end when it comes to different adaptations for their learning be it whether they are whether they have 2 or more teachers more Information Available to them how many times a day are they possibly logging in are they getting the are they getting the appropriate types of instructional materials things like that in addition to education as a 2nd language learners those learners for the most part many districts were already having some issues in the classroom themselves because you didnt have enough teachers to facilitate what was facilitate things that would meet their needs thats also not happening online in addition to that there is no way of monitoring how long these students are spending on any given assignment or online and the parents themselves arent necessarily trained in monitoring or being able to answer several of the questions you and i talked about this earlier specifically when it comes to math and common core neither one of us were doing common cause. Math. And recent studies show that even harvard graduates cannot do common core math these are some of the most brilliant students and Brilliant Minds in the country they cant figure it out either so the expectation that a parent who is a working parent is also able to sit down and do this with their children when it wasnt something they punctually did at all or had to do is also causing it i can imagine plus im glad that you brought to the element of the Digital Divide the you know we are a lot of people take for granted that everyone has access to the internet these days but the Digital Divide is a major important piece of why whats the trouble with Remote Learning and why its not quite working right now exactly and it was hers across rule and urban areas so we take into consideration those who are from low income households but in addition to that a lot of students who are minority students and students who live in areas that just did not have access to internet or dont have a laptop at home i think that because were in the era of 2020 and because so many people have social media or have social media at the moment there is a notion that there isnt a Digital Divide right now we have over 800000 households in metropolitan new york alone that dont have access while were talking about new york city if were move down to places like kansas nebraska go to mississippi you have whole swaths of the state where there is no Internet Access there are schools that dont have Internet Access themselves the kind of. Makes that argument you know the we need that should be a public utility like somehow you know make it safe to the government just cant Read Everything that we do want to i dont want that but at the end of the bay the internet the internet should be treated like electricity at this point no no i absolutely agree and its something that i know that there are different corporations that are working towards trying to make that happen this should have speeded it up a bit but we havent seen it all right everybody as we go to break remember that you can also store watching the hawks on demand to bring your portable t. V. Up available on smartphones through google play on the web store by searching portable t v. You can stream us at portable t. V. Up on apple t. V. On a lot of portable t. V. Coming up we delve into 2 stories the mainstream Corporate News media has been afraid to begin true with the cohost of by any means necessary jackie look when and sean black will stay true to what you look. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy to confront a shouldnt let it be an arms race often spearing Dramatic Development only mostly im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. Time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability its very important to excel or transition to sustainable transport sustainability. A more equitable and sustainable well. They claim their production is completely hamas. It. Companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something ill just want any minute i need looking. On just. To come in and. Because theres Survival Guide next day saying theres a mall going to start simply. Resurfaced. You should go there are you going to get it back. Oh heck no it says a repatriation scheme will look at the rest a 7 years. Bill of the separate large kaiser report. Right welcome back as we crossover the middle of the week and had towards the weekend with news stories breaking left right and center we thought it was important to bring you some added perspective on 2 of the biggest news stories of the spring the mainstream Corporate Media has barely given any kind of indepth coverage to at least until recently. Sort of the 1st of course has been the accusations of Sexual Assault misconduct made by former u. S. Senate aide tara reid against the current democratic nominee for president former Vice President joe biden for months not only is the Mainstream Media the Major Political figures conveniently ignored reids claims but in many cases outright get outright attacked her or marginalized her for making them in the 1st place but on monday of this week Ayana Pressley the massachusetts democrat currently elected to the u. S. House of representatives penned a blog post on medium declaring quote we are in the throes of an election of the greatest consequence i reject the false choice that my party and our nominee can address the allegations at hand and defeat the occupant of the white house the 2nd story that has not seen its fair share of proper coverage an indepth analysis has clearly been the rise of nationwide protests calling for rent strikes and mortgage relief started just before april and they are now again considerable stream as we head into the middle of may and into june both these stories deserve time in the news media spotlight because both will have an effect on your foreseeable future one concerns your home the other your next potential potential president but since these stories deal with dark and uncomfortable truths about the American Experience most professional journalists and commentators only the lonely touch them with the most delicate delicate of kid gloves well joining us now are 2 folks who have no fear in speaking truth to power they are the cohosts of by. Any means necessary on sputnik lady or Jackie Luqman and sean block want to thank you very much for coming on everybody. Thank you very much for having there are a lot star i want to start with terror read Joe Biden Jackie what jumps out to you the most in looking at the moves medias coverage surrounding reid story especially in light of the me too movement. What jumps out at me is the news medias complicity in pretty much destroying the need to movement right along with the Democratic Party to propel their presumptive nominee who is already a complete and absolute us or mess from the beginning even with out the allegations from tower which to me are completely credible and at the very least there they require a rigorous investigation just as rigorous as the allegations of Jim Cavanaugh got but the Democratic Party doesnt want to do that and they have gone so far as to even push journalists at the outlet outlets like the New York Times to change parts of the stories that they publish about that now theyre shaming chris hughes and saying that he should be fired for even reporting on this issue and the media is complicit in covering it up in shaming terror reid in making her the problem and it basically saying ok we need to but not if its about our guy joe biden and thats not thats next of just rank and disgusting hypocrisy. And sean this ones for you do you think well be seeing more Democratic Party members like a ana presently essentially break ranks and call out the hypocrisy theyre seeing in their own Party Treatment of revalidation. Well i dont. See you. Some i mean i think wed make history of the Democratic Party or at a point where the allegations are pitched now and theres so much energy and attention to them that they cant really ignore them so i dont steal that well see you know like books chorus kind of push back was calling out of joe biden i do think well perhaps see some do what presley did but i i mean as an institution they basically cant afford to continue to ignore this state particularly since you know only recently personally deny these allegations so weve only recently heard from him personally about it and particularly as someone who has basically guaranteed that his Vice President ial pick one you know the kind of area specter of a pot receiver around at all i think would become too strong for the establishment leadership to break thats going to be interesting to see how this moves on but i want to move over to the run strikes too and talk with you guys about the biggest question is are they working and will they continue into june will see them in april weve seen or may sean what are your thoughts on the run strikes and are they working. Well i mean the fact of the matter is you were talking earlier about how the country is opening back up to like the fact that the people just country dont have basic protections so whats happening is the economic burden of coronavirus has been shifted to. Look or working people with code to the people who are now took you seriously workers if we dont stop cynically cold warriors i wish we could go or and muster the peace wants to actually i was willing to put millions of people in danger of sickness and death but in terms of the great strikes and efforts like cancer the rents were its a recognition. Turns of millions of people test and so on and its going to housing insecurity with people who dont work. And so thats why we see organizing on a number of Different Levels i mean over 40000000 households are riches and courage and over a 3rd of people in this country could leave them. And so theres a pool of ours continues to extensive and the Economic Impact of greater and greater i think well see you guys again. And jackie what do you feel is the biggest misunderstanding or misrepresentation of the strikes in the Media Coverage weve seen so far. Well the biggest misunderstanding is always what demands from the people that would alleviate the peoples crises and needs is this characterized as socialism as if you know socialism is a terrible thing you know we have countries like venezuela and cuba and to some extent in iran and in other countries even germany canada other countries that are providing monthly relief that their citizens need in the form of money so they can pay their rent or in the case of venezuela Nicolas Maduro is just saying ok glenmore youre not going to get any rent for 6 months ill make sure the government will make sure that the landlords get paid their money were not going to force renters to pay rent for 6 months and were going to make sure that businesses remain solvent and people are able to eat because were going to provide for all of their resource needs during this shutdown and this is happening in other countries all across the world that are not necessarily quote unquote socialist countries like i said candidate canada and germany but they recognize the need to take care of the needs of their people in the midst of an emergency that no one. Really was well prepared for because they just. What was going on in china but the misunderstanding is that this is somehow unamerican but if our house due to sion the bill of rights says that this government is supposed to provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare then at what point is not making it work or with making sure that instead of sense that this country can pay their rent cant eat cant pay their bills while being evicted and wont have their Services Another woman a Natural Disaster how is that not a mode of the general welfare how is that not providing a fence so making his demands of. Crazed the maoists and then. You know american over to marry him and to destroy america is the very thing that is going to continue to keep the entire state home protesters angry because they feel like they need every choice but to make the choice to do what you know go back to work or article to get a paycheck or die i got to say i thank you spose so much for coming on to being offered your viewpoints on 2 of these stories always a pleasure having you on once again by from a by any means necessary im sputnik radio Jackie Luqman and sean bachman thank you so much for coming on the very. Heart of body that is our show for you today remember when in this world were not told her love is up so i tell you all i love you i have a fire over her and i want me to keep on watching all those hawks never great like. We saw through it the course. For good and each other the human body. But all the butters are going to die. The book on useless all that business and just. Consider. Me Emotional Learning to want to screw up your story is stuck in the course of your new year which resists it but of course this will. Go chill the church. On business compassion. We think you minds be soviet soldiers because off the boot shes wearing. The church so the sold out so quickly move to a possible appeal more than with. The sure stuck with some Russian Police force. Good food descriptions sound up the even for the owners so how to choose the pet Food Industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the patent turns out and pet food may not be as healthy as people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders they cant allergies we are actually creating these problems and its a huge of a demick of problems in all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets streets the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because theyre already making it a 1000000000. 00 on it and theres no reason to do that research.
