this week it's robert e. lee don't want jackson's coming down i wonder is it george washington next week and is to thomas jefferson the week after president condemns violence in the u.s. state of virginia over confederate morning with all skiing if statues of all the historic figures will be the next target. south korea says the united states needs its approval for any military action on the korean peninsula as the north tones down is threatening language. and iran's president warns the country may pull out of the landmark twenty fifteen nuclear deal if the u.s. slap small sanctions on tehran. kevin owen will be live from here almost studio in

around an hour's time stay with us the cause report is next here on off. the low there this is the kaiser report as a lot of goma let's get into this you know max you know we talked here recently on the price report about the fact that the one market place provider of obamacare in north carolina blue cross blue shield said next year in twenty eighteen they want to increase their premiums by twenty three percent some people hail that they said well this is great because in twenty seventeen they raise their premiums by forty four percent so the fact that the only reason to buy twenty three percent shows that the markets are stabilizing well in fact. this past week blue

cross blue shield has said for north carolina there obamacare policies they no longer need twenty three percent just fourteen percent the headline reads north carolina blue cross plan cuts obamacare rate hike request earlier this year the blues plan asked the state department of insurance for a twenty two point nine percent average rate increase for individual plans that increase requests has been revised to fourteen point one percent for next year based on claims data from the first quarter of two thousand and seventeen lou borman a spokesman for the durham north carolina based insurer told bloomberg on aug third anyone who believes that is psycho. and other words this is the old trick at the casinos and you get a free cocktail why they steal all your money while you gambling out the never going to win the house always wins but they give you a free cocktail they give you a couple of chips to say goodbye you know the same thing on the streets of new york city during the three card monte of the seventy's and eighty's i remember being

a part of that actually you know the tourist comes into town they blow hundreds of bucks on a three card monte would give twenty dollars on the way out there like a winner i'm a winner so here you have price gouging by monopolist who are working for central bankers who are terrorists who come into this day and they raise prices astronomically and claim there's an inflation and then they walk back and say oh by the way we're not going to raise them quite as much as we did before when they were price gouging financial terrorists and have a nice day. oldest trick in the book what do we do with these people i have an idea again you know somebody we just recently spoke to said how would be proud of the marketplace available in many states here in north carolina except for one small area there's only one provider on the marketplace so you only have this option here is what the pro obamacare activist and member most people don't have to pay on subsidized cost so or at least directly because somebody is paying for it's a tax payer if it's not the individual here is. zachary

a policy analyst for the raleigh based north carolina justice centers health advocacy project she said that while the lower rate request is good news cost to consumers could be lowered even further if cost sharing reduction payments were guaranteed and fully funded if if it's coming from the federal government it's obviously coming from taxpayers mostly from those people who are unsubsidized because obviously if they're on subsidized that means that they are able to afford it without the subsidies so blue cross blue shield north carolina lowering of its rate request also demonstrates that contrary to some assertions the market is not imploding in north carolina or nationwide according to zach very rather she said that insurers are figuring out that a exchange markets and the system is stabilizing again how can you say rate increase. this is racketeering yes and so you have all parties are pointing the finger and saying oh there the it's all

racketeering they should be brought up on rico charges all put into prison for price gouging and if these prices are legitimate then how can they simultaneously state there's no inflation. and there's no inflation so the central bank has to keep interest rates near zero to keep rolling all the toxic debt on these insolvent banks if those are genuine prices reflective of a genuine market and they claim they're driven by the market if that's the market interest rates should not be zero percent they should be five six seven percent least they should be normalized to a minimum of five percent but then what would happen the stock prices of these price gouging terrorists that run the health insurance industry they would not be worth as much and they couldn't go make a payment on the yacht so it's clearly a distortion it's clearly manipulation it's clearly price gouging it's clearly racketeering it's clearly captured regulators it's undemocratic it's unconstitutional should be hanging offense i'd like to see that brought back to see where we go again should be should be i mean firing on obamacare yes if you get your. because your price gouging health insurance employee you will get your head

back but it won't be attached to your body. i also want to say you know the other is we've been here for about a year close to a year and you know compared to where we were for twenty years in europe which is a very simple system. you know it doesn't have to be so complicated this is neoliberal at its finest so much complication so much paperwork stacks and stacks of it so you know just the fact that your mother was on medicare and she passed away nine months ago i just received in the mail yesterday. from nine months ago ten actually ten months ago ten months ago a blue cross blue shield medicare sorry medicare statement saying there's another bill that's possibly thirty dollars that you might have to pay the real the the cost was like a thousand we covered perhaps this much but the provider may charge you thirty

dollars it's like really complicated to understand what they've actually told me but in theory there might be a bill of thirty dollars i might one day come i don't know i have to wait for it ten months later so how do people. you know how do people financially plan they're always talking about him you know how in basilica moronic americans are because they can't prepare for the future they don't have their savings they don't have a pension what you understand when you should just spend it because if you save it they're just going to say oh that the average savings is five thousand dollars that means we can take five thousand dollars more we were under charging them five thousand dollars for all these various different insurances so why don't you know how can you plan for the future if you don't know how much they're going to increase your basic fundamental human costs in life expectancy in america is going down because the idea of health care in america is to add more ministration add more paperwork it's like oh the cancer rates are going up let's create more administrators and circulate more paper and more fees so that health care america

means in fattening up administrators they're not hiring doctors they're not actually improving health but they are creating more bureaucracy more fees more infant mortality life expectancy is dropping overall health standards are collapsing because you can't survive in the health but your health is not served by stuffing nine month old bills up your strange thing as a supposed to if you could survive by supposed to ari medicare builds up your strength training then yeah maybe america's got a good health care system but until that there are no and i could also say there was one ambulance cost and this is a. this just demonstrate to europeans why you should be fighting to prevent an american style system from coming there and again this is a remember that right now the solution that some on the left in the democratic party one is a medicare for all this is medicare medicare has sent about seventy five pieces of post pages regarding one ambulance. for your mother.

i've been fighting that was fighting meant that we didn't have to pay the nine hundred dollars father they said come on denying it denying the claim all sorts of the ambulance company was sending me bills all this sort of stuff and then finally i just paid it. and then like two weeks later they sent a refund for the amount you like but no explanation and this is total insanity it makes no sense whatsoever and why all this hassle why all the stress why all the paperwork they spent like nine hundred dollars on postage and paper for this stupid post you get is very crass a sense of entitlement and the money to corrupt governments and to impose dictators and dictatorship america is becoming a dictatorship of corporate oligopolistic needs and they go out and they try to overthrow what they perceive to be dictatorships in other countries however there is no faster dictatorship growing in a world in the united states of america paperwork i saw on twitter and i wish i had

it i'll try to find it hopefully it'll be dropped in by air editor but i saw somebody tweet that they had printed out the p f i contract for the building of some sort of fire department somewhere in the united kingdom and it was this high like it was just as tall as the paper the contract for one building one stupid building and in that that's why they bombard you with all this paperwork for one simple thing one simple procedure one ambulance from point a to point b. and it requires thousands of pages or hundreds of pages of documentation and you don't know until a year later how much it actually cost you this is what neo liberalism is full of course in the u.k. they asked people to move into those towers of paper wrapped them in funnel cloud and then set them on fire true as they did in grantham well it's not funny but it's true and i'm finally here i want to like on this neoliberalism contracts for as

soon as any government as soon as your elected officials are offering we have this brilliant contract showing us our brilliant trade deal you know that somewhere in the thousands of pages just like obamacare is thousands of pages. your financial interests are. it lies in that page somewhere this american town was left to die and suddenly economists care despite excellent job reports parts of america been in recession for years until recently economics ignored inequality after decades of hewing to free market fundamentalism on everything from trade to deregulation mainstream economists are waking up to the distributional consequences of the policies they've championed and towns such as south boston virginia the profession's newfound empathy is probably too late so they have a chart showing. what has happened to this town and by the way this isn't bloomberg so the fact that they say the free market fundamentalism is pretty shocking but

here is this town the red line is us unemployment rate the black line is virginia obviously virginia always has a better unemployment rate than the rest of america because of all the people feeding at the trough of the federal funds that they get all the taxpayer money for contracts the blue line is this county which used to have a big manufacturing base you see unemployment spike right after nafta unemployment spike right after w t o so there is proof that to spite our elected leaders or those who hoped to be like hillary clinton when she was running she was you know that both parties both republicans and democrats say that there will be no cost to you it's everything is great and it's in this thousands of pages of this deal everything is great for you but the proof is otherwise in the those deals defraud the society they defraud the public and there should be a penalty when you commit fraud the problem with so-called free markets in america is that it's like

a false those on where the hell if you are committing fraud if you break the law you don't get any penalty whatsoever you get rewarded you get a big fat paycheck that's five couples and that's not free market that's something else it's called a cop talk or c. and it's no bigger than anywhere in the world than the united states where. again and the evidence supports that and i want to say you know this third huge wave of unemployment was the financial crisis and you could also see that as neil of all the paperwork of all the fraudulent cd owes the mortgage backed securities that those paper work in all those paper that i just saw figure they cannot the federal government to bail out the fraud bankers part to ten trillion dollars of bailout money how much of that went to the town big bad zero zero zero zero zero well it's time to go thank you but we have about twenty seconds and maybe roll of tape the good times roll it maybe you can just show you're a psycho so my old psycho i don't know why you're looking at there that's why psycho. stay tuned for the second half oh no more of this card jokes

coming your way. we'll willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but millions . poisoned by our own people see yourself that was leaked or biological and chemical products do not truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene. trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection

between. and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and or there was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from exposure from the burn pits would literally some to be. they don't want to pay is the way to decades a lot of those soldiers will die in charge and they will. hold true. to the bill for the abuses. delayed in the topeka. welcome back to the kaiser report i'm max kaiser time that's

a return to our conversation with gerald salon say a trend research dot com gerald welcome back thanks for having me back yeah gerrold i want to get into some heavy duty if met a thinking here we were talking about trends and trend reversals you know a lot of times big trends go backwards and people are not prepared for it just like they're not prepared for trends emerging alone and talk of a pick up on where we left off and talk about this peak oil that was the really the rage people talking about it for a couple years or oil prices on hundred forty dollars a barrel arab spring kicked in you know there was going to two hundred fifty dollars a barrel so you're a trend analyst you follow this stuff quite cool closely walk us through how that if maybe i'm wrong maybe it's not true but it seems to me is true how did that peak oil thing khana fall apart we never believed in it where our record saying it

wasn't real what they were looking at were different ways of exploration and among them how about fracking. so now the united states by next year will be rich producing more oil and gas than russia is saudi arabia so the fracking is really change things as well as deep exploration that they weren't talking about back in two thout or in the earlier two thousands so it was more i believe an emotional outlook than a scientific one and that new ways and whether again you're for it or against fracking isn't the issue the issue is that they weren't looking at new ways of exploration. so that's a really has changed the game a lot and again when you look at the amounts of untapped oil

even going bad then that was one of the reasons why we see in reality when you look with iran is holding that as a well rock and other country so it was more an emotional outburst than a scientific outlook yeah well i mean it goes back to the quote from the exxon c.e.o. the one that preceded rex tillerson as a name escapes me but he said something when asked will you ever run out of oil it is answer was no will never run out of oil because there's always new technology to make it possible to get more energy more oil and gas and that's exactly what happened with this fracking technology but you know we're also talking about ilan mosque and you know certainly developing trends this is somebody that's reinventing the car business the transportation business the space business and in the in the

area of the hyperloop which is the course of the transportation disruption business there are several companies now in this space it's like you member i don't know gerald the you do it i'm sure you do remember our member when i was working on wall street we used to send orders to the back office for execution through pneumatic tubes so he put the order you write it down you stick it in a little capsule and it goes into a new matic tube it goes to the order room and then they send it down to the floor of the exchange so this is a pneumatic tube for people as i understand the technology is this a game changer gerald i you know i don't believe not it's too far away as as we look at it it's kind of reminds me of this whole driverless car thing i don't know what world these people living in a driverless car get caught in traffic try to get someplace in a hurry people go. own all over the place they're going to drive a loose cars how about all the recalls backs your head big is blowing up your

ignition switches stuck your accelerators on can't stop it week after week after week a recall and they're going to have driverless cars i don't see it happening in a very long time and i think it's a lot of hype i believe the driverless car hype right now is the next dot com bust in that area you know they're going to have driverless from point a to point b. you're on a mining operation you have the truck to go from here to there it may be like a bus going from point a to point b. to point c. but driverless cars i mean what world are they living in you've been on the l y l o l lotsa luck you know what have people just going to sit there as people who are trying to go in and out in every direction don't see it happening to me this is the biggest type that i've seen and the car companies are dumping fortunes into it oh

i'm going to have to disagree with this one but hey it seems that with g.p.s. technologies in these cars and they're hooked up to the satellites of their side lives being lost all the time the satellite coverage is quite dense and you have a look at the floor of the amazon warehouses with these robots that are unbelievably sophisticated moving merchandise around quickly filling orders moving and able to navigate this quite well and then essentially roads become a grid it's a smart grid you've got a battery you know you've got electronic nodes on a grid is being controlled via satellite and the traffic jam would be relieved and they don't have impulsive drivers who cause the traffic jams because they dart out into traffic and that type of thing so i kind of think that this is happening try. acts are already being transitioned over to driverless trucks you know i think

walmart or some others have already put trucks on the road driverless trucks are out there doing stuff so you know if i'm in los angeles and i want to get across town i'll hop into a driverless car you know and i will be on the phone doing deals and i'll get to my destination i just but anyway we'll see how this pans out let's just kind of change the subject there the deep state the democrats and the never trampers are seeking to impeach trump oh my god gerald or they're going to try to impeach trump your thoughts would that be great then we could have. a. well that would be terrific now this is a i've never seen you know what he's dead his seen anything like this you know after an election it was whether you light the person who got elected or not they used to say well that's our president we all have to stand behind i'm not now i mean i've nobody's i've never seen propaganda like this in in my lifetime and it's

let's hate the russians the russians are coming the russians are coming you read the language that they are using in the media against russia it's out right lie they say things in the. they call themselves the paper record i think it's more appropriately the toilet paper record the new york times they use terms like russia invaded crimea russia's been in crimea long and america's been a country they didn't invade it they were there russia has invaded and sent tanks and equipment into ukraine could you show me any pictures of tanks going over the border oh yeah we'll show you want but they're not real we've never seen propaganda like this in our lives and it's making the people hate not only the russians but also dividing the nation and it's the democrats that don't want to

understand that the reason hillary clinton lost the election is simple it's hillary clinton and when you look at the negativity ratings on the polls. you know there were over sixty percent of the people had negative views of her and then you look at ok there's not one shred of evidence zero nada nothing that did the russians had anything to do with hacking the election yet every damn day on the cartoon news network better known as c.n.n. and others they'll come out with some democratic clown a little boy of nothing saying that the democrat the ripped russians hacked into the democratic national committee show me some proof if you go into a court and you say well it's my assessment my belief my thought the judge is going

to say show me some proof and they say to us in the media. we don't have to show you any proof all we have to do is lie now when you take the bigger picture if the russians had anything to do with hillary losing the election and obama campaigning more than any sitting president for a candidate going into office folks my legacy depends on whether or not you read what you elect ms clinton. how come you lost the senate how come you got creamed in the house how come you democrats scots lord in state houses around the country russians i didn't didn't have anything to do it that maybe because the people don't like you and now when you look at the polls what do people think about the democrats and republicans they got

a ten percent approval rating ninety percent negative so that shows you where the country is with being run by morons and losers on both sides and people will still fight that they like they have moron better than their elder imbecile you know what i've noticed when you think about this is that for many years now the wedge issue in america was guns and abortion and that wedge issue vilify the right wing vilify the republicans and the left wing and the democrats are seen as morally taking the high ground when hillary loses the election and the democrats are completely out of power what's been exposed is that the real danger social logically speaking in america is not the right wing agenda but really a left wing or liberal agenda which is very easily triggered to whip out the

cruelest of violinist baseless propaganda imaginable to push their agenda which we clearly see now is that of the deep state having unelected cia n.s.a. pentagon officials keep spending trillions of american dollars on unwinnable wars for war profiteering and that is what hillary it embodies you know she lost in wisconsin she lost in the states we now know because those families are sick to losing their children to these unnecessary wars they're sick of going to the funerals she won't come to that she's or she's a murderous fraud joe. oh you know me i mean i watched occupy piece dot us and again it's not liberal these are warmongers oh you missed the libyan war you know that video of hillary clinton when they asked her how she felt when gadhafi

was murdered you know sodomized with nines she went we came we saw he die he they should have taken her out a straight jacket instead they ran it for president yeah absolutely and that's what's been revealed and that's what the left wing media in america as a revealed of a selves to be really in the pocket of the deep state warmongers gerald out of time thanks for being on the kaiser report thank you max all right well that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacey i would like to thank our special guest gerald celente of trends research dot com if you want to reach us on twitter it's kaiser report and it's all next time by zero. one else seems wrong. just don't.

get to see. this day come to. an end game equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last turn. your act caught up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry but only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fonda.
