Maybe you didn't know, but Lee Camp (and Redacted Tonight) were born during the Occupy Wall Street movement. Today, or should I say Tonight, Lee Camp reveals bitter truth: Wall Street has occupied US Government and is holding hostage all its citizens!

In this new Redacted Tonight, host Lee Camp covers how it should be no surprise Obama is accepting nearly half a million dollars for a speech at a Wall Street-backed conference, as his ties with big banks precede even his presidency. While people claim Obama is a hypocrite for taking the money, Obama's criticism of Wall Street has always been empty rhetoric, given not only his, but his cabinet's well-known ties to Wall Street. Just listen to this… this… ex-pres in an interview:

O: "This is called The Beast. It's a Caddy, basically on a tank frame."
J: "Oh my god."
O: "Yeah, see? So, I could call a nuclear submarine right here from this-
(Jerry laughs nervously)
O: "I'll bet you don't have that in your car.
J: "I don't have that."
O: "Yeah, it's a cool feature. Plus seat warmers..."

Then Lee updates us on the lawsuit Bernie Sanders supporters filed against the DNC for rigging the Democratic primary in 2016 for Hillary Clinton, in which the DNC's lawyers argue that Bernie supporters should have known Sanders had a zero chance of being the party's nominee as long as the DNC had their way.

In the second half, correspondent Naomi Karavani joins Lee at the desk to explain how economic inequality only serves to widen the health equity gap between the rich and the poor.

Finally, correspondent Natalie McGill exposes reprehensible school policies that allow school staff to "lunch shame" kids who can't afford their lunches by throwing away their hot food and branding kids who can't pay with stamps. All of this on the newest episode of Redacted Tonight!
