Renaldo McKenzie, Author of the Neoliberalism book series, discusses his upcoming book in light of what is happening in the world today. Renaldo raises the issue of unfair competition a theme in his books and also classism and racism and zero in on the reason why Trump's America first is a facade - America first like racism is a strategic distraction to elitism.

Renaldo asserts that Trump is willing to give billions of dollars to Argentina but is unwilling to extend the ACA healthcare premiums for millions of Working Class Americans whose insurance is set to go up.

Renaldo highlights the issue of unfair competition in the world where post-industrial countries unfairly profit from Global South and vulnerable countries in the Global South while advancing draconian immigration policies on these countries while charging tariffs in addition to the huge gains they get from unfair tactics with these countries.

Renaldo briefly notes these as points he will consider in his book that his coming up - Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Unfair Competition and the Death of Nations, part 2 in the Neoliberalism book series.

The American Media continues to mislead us about the truth about everything. Example, is it true that Hurricane Melissa devastated the island of Jamaica? NO. Yet they report that. Is it true that Somalia is a dirty country? No... Yet the President reports that and the public believes it because that is what the American media shows about the other... which continues to create false narratives about people and places.

What if we were to say that Hurricane devatated the US? Would that be true? No for it only affected the people in New Orleans. They seem to be mixing up the whole with the part and the mathematical idea of subsets.

Renaldo discussed this on this Podcast brief.

Residents from Black River, St. Elizabeth, are sounding the alarm, and frankly, it’s hard not to share their outrage. In the fragile hours after the hurricane swept through, what should have been a coordinated, decisive government response instead looked like hesitation, confusion, and absence.

Some people are alleging that the relief agencies on the ground were ineffective—no tents, no structured food program, no organized medical presence. In a disaster of this scale, essential services should have been stationed and ready: emergency tents, mobile clinics, water and sanitation units, ground teams tracking displaced residents, and a rapid deployment of resources to stabilize those most affected. That simply did not happen. Instead, helicopters circled overhead, assessing the destruction from a distance, while families on the ground waited—hungry, exposed, unaccounted for.

Displaced residents still don’t have proper shelter. They don’t have a central point of service. They don’t have a coordinated system guiding them toward safety, medical care, or basic necessities.

In 2025, after so many global lessons in disaster management, this should never be the story. And yet here we are.

Let’s be clear: relief comes before rebuilding. Before talk of construction, procurement, or long-term recovery, there must be tents, food, water, sanitation, health services, child protection services, and community support teams on the ground immediately. That’s Emergency Response 101. You stabilize the people, then you move to rebuilding the community.

But from all accounts, Jamaica’s government response is lagging—and community members are noticing. Many are openly saying that if it weren’t for people like Shaggy and other Jamaican celebrities abroad, flying in and stepping up, many families would still be starving, stranded, and forgotten.

It shouldn't take celebrity intervention for people to get basic relief.So the question stands like a heavy drumbeat: What is going on?

Why weren’t emergency tents pre-positioned? Why wasn’t there an immediate medical and sanitation rollout? Why do residents have to beg for what should be automatic in a disaster? And most importantly: Who is accountable for this breakdown, and when will the people of Black River get the relief they deserve?

Question: Is there an attempt by Mainstream Media through movies and ads to ILLEGITIMIZE Podcasts?

Recently, Netflix released a limited series called The Beast in Me. The series seems to use sly tactics to sow doubt in people's minds about the legitimacy of podcasters. Renaldo discusses this in his soliloquy raising the alarm about mainstream media's attempts to re-centralize and re-monopolize its hold over communication and information.

Renaldo plays an excerpt of the series and presents his arguments.

A Black patient is raising serious concerns about his recent hospitalization at Hackensack Meridian Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank, New Jersey, alleging that he experienced inadequate care, premature discharge, poor communication, and treatment that left him feeling marginalized and medically unsafe.
The patient, admitted after collapsing on a tennis court, reports that in six days of hospitalization, he was never examined by a physician. Instead, he interacted solely with nurses and physician assistants. During this period, he says he continued to suffer the same symptoms—dizziness, fainting episodes, chest heaviness, and weakness—that initially led to his emergency admission.
According to his account, diagnostic tests were performed without explanation, and results were either withheld or presented with incomplete or conflicting narratives. He states that medical staff attempted to discharge him despite persistent symptoms and without providing a follow-up discussion regarding an echocardiogram that revealed a bicuspid aortic valve—a congenital defect that can affect blood flow.
He also reports that his dietary restrictions were ignored, with meals containing red meat and cheese despite repeated requests.
One of the most troubling events he describes occurred during an attempted discharge: hospital staff reportedly instructed him to walk off the unit despite ongoing dizziness. While waiting at the pharmacy, he collapsed and had to be readmitted. He alleges that a nurse immediately went into “defensive mode” rather than assessing his condition, and that the emergency department doctor’s system review revealed that he was still listed as an admitted patient, raising questions about the legitimacy of the initial discharge.
The patient further states that a psychiatrist was sent to his room, though he had reported no psychiatric symptoms. He interprets this as part of a broader pattern in which Black patients’ physical complaints are reframed as psychological, leading to delays in proper medical evaluation.
On the day of his final discharge, an occupational therapist conducted orthostatic testing—a check for blood pressure changes with movement—and found significant fluctuations, along with visible unsteadiness in his gait. The therapist reportedly advised that he should not be discharged and recommended additional medical evaluation, including a head CT. However, the patient says no physician ever followed up, and the discharge proceeded despite these findings.
When he requested to speak with hospital leadership about his concerns, he was met with a nurse manager and a nurse practitioner—neither of whom, he reports, addressed the outstanding medical issues or explained the decisions surrounding his care.
The patient ultimately left the hospital still dizzy and weak, stating he did not feel he had received adequate care or clear medical guidance.
His experience raises pressing questions about medical equity, communication, discharge protocols, and the treatment of Black and Brown patients in clinical settings.

Hackensack Meridian Health at Riverview has not provided comment on these allegations. But we did speak with a Representative from Patient Experience about the issues and the Experience, we recorded the conversation and it’s available on The Neoliberal Round Podcast season 15 Episode 1.

Journalists just asked Pam Bondi of The Justice Dept whether she intends to follow the law.

Imagine that—

the nation pausing to wonder whether the Attorney General,

the very steward of justice,

the keeper of statutes and truth,

will honor the rules she’s sworn to defend.

It’s almost poetic…

if it weren’t so painfully absurd.

Well, the pragmatist would say, the law is not a shackle. So they may follow it loosely.

SMH.

Did the Democrats really drag out the shutdown for 41 days only to score a political point over healthcare? That makes no sense. Pundits on the Podcast argue over the winners and losers of the shutdown and whether the Democrats came looking like the villains who caused the shutdown. Renaldo McKenzie sits down with co-hosts Ricardo McKenzie and Straight Talker Randy Travis to discuss.
