The stories we cover are stories that you can't find in corporate media. If you find it, you'll find the edge of it ... never the back story. I tell this story very often, because it's an important story, is, as you know, I did MSNBC. I did CNN as a contributor. I've done FOX NEWS, my God, I used to be the only liberal on FOX NEWS.

Now, I've moved to RT America, because it's really one of the only places I can tell these stories, because there aren't advertisers calling in, saying, "Take that cat off the air, because he's talking about our corporation. And, oh, by the way, if you don't, then, we're gonna pull our advertising dollars." I just can't even tell you the number of times it happened ... just where these cases, I think of YAZ, of what it took for us to get people, their attention, on YAZ, which was a birth control pill that was killing women by the hundreds. DVTs and well ... the point is this, the point is we have to tell these stories somewhere.

This is one great vehicle. America's Lawyer is another great vehicle. Don't send me your criticism, because it's Russian TV. It means nothing to me. It's a vehicle that allows me to tell stories like this, that would never be told. You would never hear the stories on ... I promise you ... you would never hear the stories on corporate media.

You boneheads that are writing, "Oh my God, Pap and Farron are on RT America." Really? That's ... read the stories. Follow the stories. Don't give me that blow back, because Putin is telling us to tell bad stories in America. You're a dunce. If you're sending stuff to us like that, you're absolutely out in left field.

Look, a new lawsuit claims, that one of the most profitable forms of mesh is 100% incompatible with human tissue, causing irreparable harm to consumers. Okay? This is a case that we've known about a long time. The first time we saw this case, in a really ugly way, was when women were getting implants to help with incontinence. They would put mesh implants for female incontinence. They were vaginal implants.

The injuries that they were causing were deplorable. If you ever sometimes go online, find a site where you actually see the damage. It was described by a doctor, who had to remove these things, he said, "It was like removing concrete from rebar. It would take so much human tissue, that the result was a life of agony for the women." Now, we have this hernia mesh, that's being used for all types of processes. I mean, typically a hernia is where you see it, but it's being used for, really, all types of process. Talk about this a little bit, by the way.

This is really interested, because now, the lawsuits with this hernia mesh, the defects that the company was well aware of, they're finally getting under way. One of the experts in this, is the one who said that, "This is 100% not compatible with human tissue."

Right.

Now, this is a product that is-

Say that again.

Yes.

Say that again, because this is a product being put in the human body-

Right.

... the studies are showing, "Look, you need to know the stuff you're putting in the human body is not compatible with human tissue."

Right.

And, they're still selling it.

Your body is going to treat it as a foreign body, almost. What happens with that ... which is how some tumors form ... your body starts to envelop it, because it believes it's a foreign tissue. It creates new tissue over it, preventing the hernia mesh from even being able to do what it was supposed to do, in the first place. That's if you're lucky.

If you're unlucky, which most people who've had this, filing the suits have been, the hernia mesh breaks apart. It starts perforating the other organs. It can migrate. It is because of the tissue adhesion, is nearly impossible to pull out of the body.
