israeli forces respond with water cannons and tear gas to mass protests in the west bank following president trump's move to recognize jerusalem as capital of israel. no one knows what will happen but dangerous days are coming to jerusalem the u.s. president makes a statement and these really citizens will need to pay the price for a. controversial decision on jerusalem was also discussed at a meeting diplomats of russia and america along with the crises in syria ukraine and north korea. and the cryptocurrency bitcoin spikes at eighteen thousand dollars on thursday continuing its month long climb in value. news program

is coming your way in about an hour's time with my colleague but up next the kaiser report tackles the growing extremes of rich and poor in america stay with us. oh max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know america doesn't have a government anymore that's right it's all frickin corporations let's talk to stacey stacey max you know the washington post says democracy dies in dark and now. the washington post also happens to be owned by jeff bezos who is now worth one hundred billion dollars not since the days that the biltmore estate here in north carolina was built by the

vanderbilt family has such a wealth amassed to one individual in america amazon is company is also seeking to build its second headquarters somewhere in the united states and the most vial situation of democracy is dying not in darkness but in open for all the world to see the city hall brought to you by amazon this is a headline from the seattle times and danny westmeath wrote this and he says the review of some of the bids to woo amazon's h.q. to to other cities and states shows it's not all about the money in some cases democracy itself is a bargaining chip they are offering up we're going to go through these details but they're offering up the taxes collected by the city to amazon to disperse

as it wishes in that city or that locality so here he's saying that's a perfect phrase for the guy who owns the washington post where he's saying democracy does. and darkness kerry saying democracy itself is now a bargaining chip in order to get jeff bezos to bless your city yeah well this is a troubling trend of corporatism corporations fusing with what's left of government to create a dystopian nightmare for anyone who's not a corporate insider and in the case of amazon they are approaching these municipalities the same way the prison industry is approaching these municipalities remember the prison industry promises to give all kinds of benefits to these minutes of power these in taking cost off their balance sheet but in return the municipality has to guarantee ninety eight percent occupancy of the prison that is

to say the municipality then tells its sheriffs and officers go arrest people to fill the prisons whether they're guilty or not because that's the deal we made at a private prison operator by corrections corps of america which is rebranded as something else now we've got jeff bezos coming into the picture approaching these municipalities these municipal leaders these government officials. and these crack only just saying. yes it is disgusting of course because you think america would be run by something other than crack but there's still it does away his baby well it's a definitely in a futile sort of system what you're seeing here is a feudal system where the serfs are like casting themselves in front of the lord oh lord have me i will fight for you just give me some potatoes this month and i'll fight for you here we're going to see the shocking details of what is going on with amazon pitching for their h.q. to warn us how long they're going to like what this is going to escalate to here

these are the opening bids that the seattle times looks at but here's a great quote from him there's a rising worry about corporations are taking over america but after review. doing a slew of the bids by cities and states winning amazon's massive second headquarters i don't think takeover quite captures what is going on more like surrender so this is a shocking thing to think of here's a again you have to read it reiterate that this guy who owns the washington post washington post says democracy dies in darkness again it's happening right in front of your freaking face the bright blue sunshine that we have right here in durham north carolina is happening right here the promise details i'm going to go into the details i don't think derm is one of the cities that is up pitching so grotesquely for it hear the details i want to hear the unseemly details of this takeover so

amazon last month you know they announced we're looking for a headquarters two point zero they already have one headquarters so they're looking to hire fifty thousand employees at this headquarters and they've received two hundred thirty eight pitches only thirty of them have been made available to researchers to journalists so those thirty employees demonstrate our capitulation to corporate influence in politics there's a new wave in which some city hall seem willing to go beyond just throwing money at amazon they're turning over the keys to democracy for example chicago has offered to let amazon pocket one point three two billion dollars in income taxes paid by its own workers this is truly perverse called a personal income tax diversion the workers must still pay the full taxes but it's getting the money to use for schools roads or whatever amazon would get to keep it all instead so if you. look

a. tax on people amazon is taxing those fifty thousand employees in the income tax that they pay to the state but they get to collect it not the city stacks and people yet the corporation is taxing people ever was on this tack. and their own employees yeah ok but essentially amazon not the government is taxing implying a tax yes so the boma care the pharmaceutical and drug companies insurance companies yeah the corporations were allowed to tax people individually something called obamacare so now corporations are levying taxes on people no taxation without representation where is my representation on amazon stock analyst on a good commensurate share of amazon stock to participate in the growth of this corporate takeover and under no obligation to fulfill this is yod from jeff bezos ok this is really. just

a that's tyranny but i guess today we want to let the king george would love to gary he's going to marry some american woman they're going to try to take over america through the back door of their schedule on we were days i was there i saw it with the representation that's tyranny so it gets worse than that that's actually good for us chicago's bid so they look at fresno fresno is even more grotesque in how they're kneeling before the lord bezos asking the lord bezos please shine your look upon us don't avert your gaze from our ugliness well but the most far reaching offers from fresno california that city of half a million isn't offering any tax breaks instead it has a novel plan to give amazon special authority over how the company's taxes are spent fresno promises to funnel eighty five percent of all taxes and fees

generated by amazon into a special fund that money would be overseen by a board half made up of amazon officers half from the city they're supposed to spend the money on housing roads and parks in and around amazon by the way you know that railroad of course that was the last time robber baron that's the last time we had the robber barrons vanderbilt built that being giant biltmore estate here it's amazing to see it but here. you know that was the last time you saw the vanderbilt's had you know they kicked everybody out of the city of the all the locality around where they built their estates they got to get mayors and and people writing laws here and you know altering the way the state runs here they're doing the same thing so they would put these officers from amazon on the board. all of the tax authority in this fresno california.

and ellis island get to decide. and i'm going to go on i want your response to that but there's some. quotes coming out from fresno officials about this. right well you can outvote them. if the age of the problem barons and yes and the kids german are plays that were an american teddy roosevelt come along a trust buster and he broke up these huge monopolies and you know the oil industry was broken up of course and and people were thinking maybe donald trump could be a similar think you're in american history to break up these monopolies you know maybe you're hoping yes it still could be on the in the on the cards are still early it's early days but you know he should start to step in and break up these monopolies but remember lonely people who say they want jobs working for amazon are looking forward to an amazon can deliver a via drone pharmaceuticals and they're opiates so these are drug addicts who are

thinking oh my god i'll let my municipality do whatever i want with my future and my country my life my kids and as long as i get drone delivery of heroin from jeff bezos i'm happy with that member jeff bezos of the washington post democracy dies in darkness that is driven by quote hash tag the resistance the resistance wants amazon google you tube twitter facebook all these tech giants they want them to determine what is they want them to get determine what is speech that is good they want them to determine what is the media that is accessible what should the peasants the people of fresno be able to read or see so it's part of the same story but here the pitch that fresno gave to amazon come to was come to us lord bezos write the proposal shows a park with a sign his park brought to you by amazon but the company smiling arrow corporate logo quote the community fun projects would give amazon credit for the funding of each project the. proposal says the potential negative impacts from a project will be turned to do positives giving amazon credit for mitigating it.

public i mean just look at where this all ends up look at great britain for example once you leave the dominion of buckingham palace and around the shires you know but two of those drunk people that's what is going to happen to america it's just going to be seattle washington jeff bezos castle a lot of toothless drunk people who can't afford health care who are looking for some free smack delivered by drone by the sprinting kleptocrat so when this journalist from the seattle times went to the. economic development director of fresno to ask what the heck is this proposal about here's what the economic director of fresno said quote rather them the money that of it the taxes and fees of amazon to the city rather than the money disappearing into a civic black hole amazon would have a say on where it will go he told the los angeles times not for the fire department

on the fringe of town but to enhance their own investment interest so all those those she mocks on the edge of town not close to the lord not close the castle it becomes like the closer you are to the court the more free goods you get from. the presence of that fringe of town but the civic black hole that's crazy that's time around ical that's like saying the constitutional black hole the bill of rights black hole the all things american black hole that's saying that america is a giant black hole an assault a black hole from outer space but it's jeff bezos thanked or that is the black hole that these when a simple leaders are crawling up trying to eat the peanuts out of his fecal matter a lot of people say why do i mention fecal matter on the show so often because the situation is so disgusting what these corporations taking over america and all we get as a pushback is give us more free crack it's disgusting well fecal matter leads us

into the second half staying for the second half because it goes with the first half i've got a story for you and actually it has something to do with fecal matter i can hardly wait to lay much more coming your way stay right there. so you gave you. the coalition that took those bits has been basically destroying yemen killing many civilians and now it's. coming. international time. not refrain from even coming babies.

indiscriminate bombardment of civilian areas in yemen for the past thirty months. welcome back to the kaiser report on my studies or let's get back to the discussion at hand so you know what's going on tell us continue so you ended on what should be a really gross topic that does not get discussed on financial news but you mentioned fecal matter and that actually does have something important to do with the system where we have this hundred billion dollar air. just taking over democracy being offered up the keys to democracy across the united states in order for him to bring the second headquarters for amazon around the united states the kisser of democracy yes so here is

a story from the news this past week. a disease of extreme poverty is thriving in the u.s. south why children playing feet away from open pools of raw sewage drinking water pumps beside cracked pipes of untreated waste human feces flushed back into kitchen sinks and bathtubs whenever the rains come people testing positive for hookworm and intestinal parasite that thrives on extreme poverty these are the findings of a new study into endemic tropical diseases not in places usually associated with them in the developing world the sub-saharan africa and asia but in a corner of the richest nation on earth alabama so here you have hookworm that is coming from the feces of open sewage rust sewage being pumped basically.

in alabama a lot of places are do not have a public sewage system. not counting the places like jefferson county alabama where j.p. morgan got involved with that racket of that. overpriced sewage system which bankrupted the county these are places outside of public sewage systems where people can't afford the fifteen thousand dollars to have their own sewage system installed so there's open sewage being poured right into the open. like you know you hear in parts of india for example right now this is what happens in a purely narco capitalist corporate led just dope in american jihad by financial terrorists who are in flint michigan forcing people to drink the water from the pipes developing all kinds of diseases bats in the north yet slavish areas are to be able to lead to lead in the water they the happier they the fracking

industry where people can fly through water on fire in their home causing all kinds of diseases in alabama they're forcing people to swim in fecal matter and they in other words they live in a bit like a slurry like a pig slurry on a pig farm in north carolina sometimes it overflows during a storm and the swamp mainstream is dominated by a sludge and pig slurry comes down like a tsunami of poop balun alabama people live in a tsunami of poop they're forced to live in their own slurry they're walking around in a way that would be completely unacceptable in any country any state in any municipality that has any thought of being dignified any human way and yet this is what we're now in america yet but it ruins as the article points out economic potential because corn is an intestinal disease its causes left you know the lower aspirations like you don't succeed as well you don't do as well it's like

a little test if it's in your intestines and it's up your energy yes i can jamie diamond live in your intestine it's me jamie diamond attaining yes he's a parasite he lives in the intestines of the american financial system depriving him of vitality that's why big coin was invented to kill the jamie diamonds of the world now we've got people who are their intestines are infiltrated and infected with parasites like little jamie diamonds running around the intestines and they're lothario dick they can't work in a good multigenerational and you've got a whole new generation of the walking dead the walking dead. zombies so that if you call him our real estate on mars so that he can buy a solid twenty four karat gold toilet bowl that he can take care of his physical matter with gold and to live born so people alabama got to eat each other's legal matter and died but why because this guy's a thai radical anti american creep now why don't we have to report here on this network was rachel maddow talking about it was an innocent b.c. talking about because j.p. morgan by the advertisements on rachel maddow show so that she doesn't talk about

it so it's all just block frickin washington post the code it's either just fine is to take over time magazine so now this study was done by baylor university and catherine flowers of alabama center for rural enterprise so here's a quote from catherine flowers from her as they call it. looking at the situation who remember hoquiam was caused by sewage the raw sewage and most of it comes to your feet basically people walking through it and the hookworm gets in there and basically then ruins your life so she says about the fact that this exists and about the oligarchies the neo futile system we have all these billionaires who by so much great publicity on the likes of rachel maddow shout in the washington post the likes of bill gates the philanthropist the guy who's giving away his billions warren buffett there helping all the people of africa nation blah blah blah but here he says our billionaire philanthropist like bill gates fund it water treatment

around the world but they don't fund it here in the u.s. because no one acknowledges that this level of poverty exists in the richest nation in the world because nobody in the washington post or. may traumatic show but want to cover the fact that the poverty exists right here in your own backyard this can explain a lot more about what's happening in our political system our own economy stupid then somewhere overseas oh that's right they don't want to cover it nobody covers it it's extreme poverty it's right here in america backyard people are dying from intestinal you know failure due to parasites that are right there there's no infrastructure and they've been sacrificed look the fact is that the people in there are being sacrificed they're being killed they're being imprisoned. for a buck so you can make money in america if you're willing to engage in whole

cost a corporate hold the cost these people are being murdered by the millions for a buck. that's the bottom line there you go a half a light and half hour later. here the half light. comes on no hard stay with it stay with me with a minute don't tell me in the night don't turn the camera man into into the saddle or the sort of sound so i want to turn to another thing about this problem so here you have the situation where these people are living in an open sewage and why is it also not being addressed this is you know a part of the plan prison industrial complex as you've mentioned because. they talk to one guy who family his cousin lives there and they have an open sewage situation and you know they're you know that they have this problem of the no sewage he

added that people were afraid to report the problems given the spate of criminal prosecutions that were launched by alabama state between two thousand and two and two thousand and eight against residents who were open piping sewage from their homes unable to afford proper treatment systems one grandmother was jailed over a weekend for failing to buy a septic tank that cost more than her entire annual income so this isn't mounds county alabama by the way this is a county that if you're looking at the map to the right is mongomery and right to the left is some so it's like an important sort of civil rights story. this is where you know jeff sessions the attorney general. hails from this is a situation where. you're forced to have the septic system that costs more than

your annual salary or you go in prison. where some private contractor private prison company collects fifty thousand bucks for a year for you do. he there yeah ok i mean this is a destruction of an entire population for a corporation as far as a corporatist which is a nice way to say fascist. you know overt overthrow of america without it those people live in a fascist country. run by neo nazis that's that's a that's a fair statement to say there are other parts of the country like san francisco seattle new york that live in the ronald reagan city on a hill that's a different country but these people are living in a hole cost hell for a buck and their lives are worth the sequel matter that they're pooping out

according to the local municipal leaders yeah i mean i also want to add you know that here we have a situation that this is thing entirety of this episode is the first half jeff bezos was open to new headquarters people are throwing him like billions of dollars . and i think new jersey offered something four billion. here they they're they're not willing to give six hundred bucks. to deliver a sewage system. to thousands of citizens hundreds of thousands of citizens that live there well they're going to start of the i predict a public service announcement in alabama it's going to be on t.v. it's going to be extolling the virtues of eating fecal matter for nutritional value they're going to sell it as a freeze dried product you can buy your local grocery store and are going to say a disgrace i mean it just. love it because it's killing me look i love america who sat through i actually can tell your fico matter there's

a big market for it because of this new theory that has some going to come out of transplant yeah yeah you can do and think a lot of told a lot of people about this i we've had all fecal melts i thought it. was only married couples do but anyway so again we have a system where the rising wealth and income gap a guy with one hundred billion dollars here at the bottom people are earning fifteen thousand dollars and can afford a sewage system and that deprives them and their children of the ability to even advance further to become ever competition for jeff bezos to disinter mediate that because so they don't mind you know they should that they should have a dog parks for people people can go into the park and poop and they get the bags to pick up your poop from your and then use dispose of it this way you need coop bags for people in the dog park watering for people that's the solution let me just

say i was going to sell the bags on amazon you can sell the service on amazon it's poop as a service and i'll be jeff bezos on amazon you go to the i'm designing clothes are you like you're in the park and you get advice on bags to pick up your poop and then he said if you like to say some bio you know engineer fuel reprocessing plant to smudge you know fuel your car i would mind a little bit democracy dies in darkness but max keiser dies the light was. oh darn you that you guys are firing the underbody your little you've got to live in today's all you have to move into the darkness so that you're in that anyway it's time to wrap it up anyway we actually have to say goodbye and tell the guests that where they can find us so go into my words the camera now right there well that's going to do it for this the kaiser report with me max kaiser stacy herbert i just like our guest herbert generators on twitter it's guys a report until next. time

is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos and. dismiss it. like you know. my complicity is going on the sunday oh maybe. jon. palestinians who gets the most hopeful to respond counterparts i don't think some of those who. wish to look at this. i know it is unfair to this lady in the most of the i know you compete in the customs you do

more. don't piss off. hello and welcome to world apart just as the war in syria started to show some promise of abating the violence in yemen has intensified to the degree that may once again put the middle east on the brink of a major confrontation does the idea of forging some kind of regional understanding amount to anything more than a doom to c.c.m. task to discuss that i'm now joined by iran's foreign minister zarif minister it's

great to see in moscow welcome good to be here and good to be with you now minister you've been in the city since monday and i assume the topic of syrian reconciliation always feature high on the your agenda but i wonder if the fast moving events in yemen with the now confirmed killing of the former president saleh have forced you to shift your focus how vulnerable is the syrian peace process to outside the bounds. happy to be in russia be working closely with russia other regional countries in order to help bring about an end to syria i'm here this time forecast which is an important issue for iran russia and the three other countries neighboring caspian we have made important progress in syria with russia and turkey.
