moscow criticized the body for using second hand sources in failing to send weapons inspectors to the various sites of the alleged chemical incidents in syria now back then russia drafted a un resolution calling for a new investigative body to be created the document says for example that experts must visit the sites of alleged attacks to collect samples and conduct eyewitness interviews with the plan collapsed after the u.s. said it would block that resolution defense analyst ivan eland thinks the whole issue has become highly politicized. the problem is with these things is that one never knows for sure there are multiple sides on the battlefield it takes a long time to get the investigations done and then a stray should always likes to. put on a tough asides the one is we don't care who did this but the syrian government is responsible for it that's kind of a strange statement i think if they accuse russia and syria of

something that either didn't happen or somebody else did maybe their evidence isn't that great that's probably the reason they don't have anything to back it up and they do it they don't want. any independent investigation. a psychotherapist and specialist in the u.k. is challenging a university which is blocking research he wants to conduct into people who regret undergoing gender change james caspian claims the move by botha spa university is an attack on free speech has been extremely stressful to find myself embroiled in these proceedings which i think should be of great concern to anyone who values free speech in knowledge i do believe that the research i proposed is important to the well being of the transgendered community the research proposed by mr caspian was initially approved by academics and twenty fifteen but later dropped in december of twenty sixteen high court judges ruled in the university's favor

without waiting for an internal review of the study according to mr caspian the university dropped the research because it feared they would be a backlash on social media a lot to discuss the issue with walt who reversed his decision to become a woman. i've been back now to my birth gender for twenty five years i've been married for twenty years and you know when i discovered. that this holds that this whole transgender thing is built solely on feelings there's absolutely no objective proof that anyone is a transgender except by now i'm self identifying as a transgender is no bedikat proof that anyone is a transgender and there's no proof that anyone benefits from the surgery over the long term some people like myself feel like we had a good time while it lasted but when the truth rears its ugly head and you want your life back you want to live in reality and not in. you know surgically made

transgender life i found out in my many years of working with transgender people that there is a groundswell of people be transitioning i'm working with them all the time now more and more letters from around the world from people who after five seven twelve maybe fifteen even twenty years they wanted to transition back calling the surgery and their gender change just pure folly and foolishness and totally unnecessary so they want to help the transition just as i've done re off the bof a spot university to comment on their decision regarding mr caspian's for some mystical experience research proposal was not refused on the grounds of topic but on the message is a logical approach the university was not convinced the press would guarantee the anonymity of his participants and the confidentiality of data the researcher lost at the first round of his legal battle leaving him to cover the university's court

costs so he set up a crowd funding page to cover their expenses and even mount a fresh legal challenge against the university so far raised almost fourteen thousand pounds walter again believes it's a politically motivated decision. you know i think it's political absolutely i think it's totally political airfreighted b.o.'s you bt which is so powerful it would probably overwhelm the university if they start studying this like james caspian wanted to do at the university what they would find out is there's a bast number of people who are d. transitioning because they regret having changed their gender so i think they're fearful of the truth coming out and this is their way of preventing research from being done so a prominent face of the anti harassment me to movement is now at the center of a sexual misconduct scandal herself that story and more just a moment. the

bond market will not crash and this time it will continue to go even lower and negative yield on various bonds will increase from the multi trillion dollars what the mega yielding sovereign debt now to even more multi multi multi trillion dollars of negative yielding sovereign debt and we're going to go down the rabbit hole even further but it certainly smells like what the panic cash withdrawal in places like china and west sell off in all these various markets and what the oil prices climbing higher in gold looking better than we've got here fast and reversed . but it's in american interest to not see any russians die in terrorist attacks as it is in russian interest to prevent any terrorist attacks in the united states or elsewhere in the world so i don't think there's any dispute on that in congress and i think maybe some of the posturing is

frankly political as opposed to substantive. joining us tensions are high in italy with less than a month to go into his general elections hundreds of supporters of a far right party clashed with police in the central italian city of much data just a week before in that town it suffered a racially motivated shooting which left six people injured. the shooter was talking african migrants police found a copy of hitler's mind in his apartment as well as a flag with

a far right symbol the shooter said he wanted to avenge the death of an italian woman allegedly killed by a nigerian asylum seeker where the incident has fuelled concerns about the rise of neo fascist sentiment in italy and national as well as foreign media have all been weighing in the shooter's lawyer told journalists that his client was greeted as a hero in prison police say racial religious violence has soared in recent years for example we can show you some of the disturbing numbers here on the program a straight from the italian police force hate crimes have jumped more than ten fold in just four years the issue is raising concern at the highest level with italy's justice minister revealing he was threatened when he visited the shooting victims at a hospital in march i doubt the. even the control they. received threats against me and my family but i was the first is to go away when the time comes to take action so i. mean while the video has appeared in the media showing the matter out

a shooter shaking hands with the leader of the right wing league annoyed or over the shooter even stood as a candidate for the party at local elections last year we invited a league of north councillor to debate the issue if this guy did what he did he became a creaminess so we are very strict about it and our. we pons our pencil in the next election the people will use it to vote and this is the only way we act any violent act carried out by an immigrant it seems like the response is is also considerable surely this is not good for the country as a whole how do you feel about what's been reported the rise of nationalism and fascism in italy we are just telling you the people we need lo we need contour of account to be we cannot lose our identity because italy if

these mood of immigration will rise and we will lose. a dainty ally of your party the former soviet belasco and he's called migrants a time bomb not fairly aggressive rhetoric it's only going to further divide people you said your weapon is your your pension should we be trying to bring people together we found always the right way to act together and when we have been in the government the last time in two thousand eighty two two thousand and eleven we practically stopped the arrival of illegal immigrants in two thousand and eleven we had only four thousand. in one year last year we had the more than the forty thousand the rivalry over illegal immigrants and youth and so you can see the difference and this is the bomb but because the most of those people. never

get the. refugee because just the five percent of them is a real. woman in california who's been a prominent face of the anti harassment movement has found herself with the center of a sexual misconduct controversy she's been accused by at least two bed of inappropriate behavior. jacqueline has details democratic assemblywoman christina garcia has a reputation as a fierce advocate for women and has gained national recognition for condemning sexual misconduct oh wait this is out there as a story telling you we should not be on yourself they say they think it was their choice to make the power that they can protect their time magazine's silence breakers issue centering on speaking out against harassment even featured garcia's face in the artwork and inclusion that garcia was humbled by posting on twitter

that she was proud of the work being done and that she was clearly personal in october garcia revealed to the new york times that she has also been sexually assaulted by men in her workplace multiple people have grabbed my bottom grabbed my breasts we're talking about senior lawmakers earlier this week garcia even helped pass a bill granting whistleblower protections to legislative staff who are victims of sexual misconduct announcing after the bill's approval that you were not standing alone and yet news has now broken a two man accusing garcia of sexual harassment one of the alleged victims is a former legislative staffer highly ironic considering the bill she helped pass is meant to protect legislative staff probes already been launched into the incident alleged to have happened back in two thousand and fifteen hours. assembly softball game danielle farrow claims that while she was intoxicated garcia rubbed his back and squeezed his buttocks before attempting to do more than reportedly quickly it started himself from the situation and it looks like this may even be a pattern for garcia as

a second accuser story is eerily similar an unnamed lobbyist alleges that a drunk or c. accosted him last may making graphic sexual proposals while trying to grab his crotch she came back and was whispering roo close and i could smell the booze and see she was pretty full she looked at me for a second then sit acidic goal was. he says he adamantly rejected the offer at this point garcia's camp has only responded to the first accusation the details of these kinds have never been brought to my attention and till today i can also say i have zero recollection of engaging in appropriate behavior and such behavior is inconsistent with my valise but if we've learned anything from the me too movement it's not accusations carry more weight than denials and once one person comes forward the floodgates tend to open. the jewish diaspora in iran has grown to become one of the most significant and well established in the world and it continues to thrive despite living through some turbulent times under tehran's

regime decades after an exodus during the islamic revolution iran's jewish population is now the second largest in the middle east there are over sixty synagogues in the country many of them in the capital and since two thousand and eight iran's parliament has also had a jewish m.p. to represent the interests of the community that. the for. germany the jews of iran can freely worship and perform the traditional writings they face no kind of pressure a synagogue here or safer than in the us or in europe draining government supports us. poor one.

for what i know i came to this restaurant because jews come here my children can read the touring he brings the cannot speak there is no one you can talk to me there is no need for this. world. or later we have to wear this job we are allowed to drink alcohol not only physically fit but we've got just told that we have made a lot. of

bitcoin frenzy has been capturing the attention of redoubt investors and of course celebrities but the allure of crypto currency is also being felt in some unlikely places including deep in the heart of russia. crypto is the new black and even a recent roller coaster ride in because of its price hasn't got off want to be traders in russia throwing themselves headfirst into the magic world of crypto currency mining everyone's at it from students to secret nuclear scientists yeah that's right russia secret service the tend to be technicians in a town of subtle for using the plant supercomputer to mine online and they're no exception after reporting energy outages in the control center of one of russia's busiest airports the matters were discovered an idea engineer that set up an entire mining farm and even connected it to the airport grid those pesky technicians and

even workers at russia's biggest bank have succumbed to mania according to the head of burbank mining without even leaving their workstations leaders to say he doesn't approve we're not engaged in mining but we often catch employees mining on our equipment well it could all be worse of course one miner's burning desire for because literally proved too much and short circuit meant eight flats destroyed and forty damaged although the culprit did manage to save his bitcoins. i ran to the balcony and saw a man about forty five years old fleeing the building he was in winter clothes and caring to desktop computer towers he dropped in pick them up several times and kept running well thankfully nobody died but still don't try this at home and also don't buy from random people on the street one punter in albany in schools sold a few coins by gypsies outside a supermarket i mean who would fall for that by the time the penny or bitcoin

dropped that this was just the piece of worthless plastic that was too late to get a refund and for those of crashed and burned in crypto currency trading and now have the bitcoin blues well there's always someone to talk to like a helpline recently launched in russia especially for those who've lost their investments after the latest crypto crash course unless you really know what you're doing it might be best to avoid the world of crypto altogether and save all those bitcoin hotline bills. i said joining us today we are back at the top of the hour. hey everybody i'm stephen bob taft hollywood guy you know suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v. i'm using this is my buddy max famous financial guru and well he's

a little bit different i'm not a abraham lincoln high not knowing no one no doubt with all the drama happening in our country i'm hitting the road have some fun meet everyday americans come home and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people which. began. in america a college degree requires a great deal. paying a decades long debt. to studying so hard it requires trust just. going through humiliation to enter an elite society. and partying to death

sometimes quite literally. wants other true colors of universities in the us. hi i'm alex cohen is here this is the kaiser report let's talk about the overall economy how's it doing max we're talking about the g.d.p. now forecast atlanta office of the federal reserve predicting a five point four percent g.d.p. in q one two thousand and eighteen preston j. byrne response wow these are reagan early one nine hundred eighty s. numbers that's a lot of growth brought on by a policy is that would stimulate growth so what is the opposition going to

say to try to make this sound bad i don't know well i imagine your guess from the second half is going to say the atlanta fed has always had an outlier saying wow the economy is booming and in fact i have to revise it down to like two or three percent right now they're saying it's five point four percent it could just be a parting gift for janet yellen who was the chairwoman of the federal reserve i can pull up my collar in honor of her you know as she can or something i have no idea but she does seem to prefer putting her little collars up not in town suits she wears pantsuits again with the pantsuits look all this growth is also being reflected in the rising ills of the bond market or falling prices which is an indication of inflation and of course that would put the kobayashi on a thirty eight year old bond the bull market and that brings all kinds of new

wrinkles and twists and turns to the stock and bond markets of course the markets have been kind of tumbling relative to what they're used to they're not real tumbles of the one nine hundred eighty seven magnitude that you're. still which would be a six thousand point drop but you know markets or is certainly the media gets quite hysterical when it falls at two hundred dollars two hundred points which is a fraction of a percent so when the markets have responded negatively to like the positive job numbers that also came out last week the g.d.p. forecasts being forecast higher all of these you know bonuses that major corporations are giving their employees the tax cuts those were all priced in last year and now they're kind of i guess some say seeing inflation on the horizon and that this is going to be negative for bonds and markets you know wall street and

main street time to go at odds with each other what's good for one is usually not good for the other and if wall street's going to take a breather with rising rates and falling stock and bond prices that would generally mean rising relative strength in wages so those are the voters that put this guy in office back in twenty sixteen and they'll do it again in two thousand and twenty if wages are going up twenty eighteen is a little bit more important than midterm elections coming up to september this november so we'll see what happens there but here's another tweet regarding the markets and the economy and this is real another five billion dollars into last night brings january total to seventy eight point six billion dollars which destroys all time monthly flow record by eighteen billion dollars or thirty percent this is nearly four billion dollars per day pace retail investors are pouring into e.t.s. you know they really love these e.t.s. the to the top two recipients of

the of these funds flowing into egypt where state street's s. and p. five hundred e.t.f. and then i shares s. and p. five hundred e.t.f. so they're going for the s. and p. five hundred eighty. the next previous largest inflow of e.t.f. funds was in december twenty sixth seen well it's very dangerous because this a multitude of e.t.s. would have the same stock in their e.t.f. so you'd have multiple claims on the same stock it's a fractional reserve model and so if there is a downturn let's say the market dropped twenty twenty five thirty percent and there's like one asian and you try to liquidate these e.t.f. and ten or twenty eighty s. own the same thousand shares of i.b.m. or general electric or microsoft which one truly has those shares none of them have it for sure and it's a compound ing of the cascade as it drops down into

a black hole called a dame of bull market catastrophe sucking sound posing as the grim reaper as they rip aisha's sleaze steal from the millennialists their hard earned cappuccino money in one flail swoop due to their over exuberance brought on by the cheap rates engineer and by the central bankers who have no accountability other than their academic overlords who write keynesian based faldo are all in their textbooks based on theories that have never been proven and all was end up catastrophic lee well of course they've been a perfect contrary in indicator these millenniums they have stayed out of the market since two thousand and eight in fear for a crash and now they have finally gone as we covered in a previous episode they somehow believe that donald trump provided some sort of insulation i have no idea what they mean when they say they think he provides insulation to the markets nevertheless this is what they're pouring their money

into e.t.f. now as somebody selling to them like working at donald trump rubber mask in a best of all throwing a toaster plugged into the wall and saying i don't know why i got electrocuted i have this donald trump rubber mask on wasn't insulated there is another interesting story out in the past week as well. that was from china and zero had covered that chinese stocks tumble as hong kong officials monitor surge in a.t.m. withdrawals parent li there were reports of mainland chinese. citizens arriving in hong kong with like up to fifty bank cards so they would go to machine after researching and withdraw hundreds of thousands of dollars this is been happening according to the hong kong monetary authorities there have been a few robberies they say of people of mainland chinese with having hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen so there seems to be some sort of capital flight

situation we don't know of course a lot of information that comes out of china is hard to interpret well this is as much to do with money laundering a capital flight the liquidation of stocks cryptocurrency these and now mass a.t.m. withdrawals suggest more is going on than the usual pretty new year liquidity hoarding there's a mad dash for cash because the thirty eight year bull market in bonds looks like it's coming to an end inflation is upon us and bond prices are going to fall they're already falling yields are rising of course i've been saying this for five years and others in the financial punditry space have been saying this for five years and i've been wrong for five years so with that caveat i will infallibly once again say without equivocation that i could be wrong again that the bond market will not crash this time it will continue yields will go even lower and negative yields on various bonds will increase from the multi trillion dollars worth of

negative yielding sovereign debt now the even more multi multi multi trillion dollars of negative yielding sovereign debt and we're going to go down the rabbit hole even further but it certainly smells like with the panicked cash withdrawal in places like china and with the sell off in all these various markets and what the oil prices climb. higher gold looking better than we've got here an old fashioned reversal it's a rotation and i want to actually turn to a tweet now that you posted yeah and this is a tweet i found interesting you also sent me some text messages yes but this is a tweet from alex letter so people can go there and look at this and that is max keiser store of value plus liquid means of exchange it's got utility and it's a great investment it's portable fungible divisible and desirable yes that's more of a laundry detergent and if you look closely you can see that this is a photo from a u.s. supermarket somewhere the laundry detergent has to be tied down secured

with locks and it's not just a marketing gimmick because it's called tide now i didn't mention but even though you could see it i don't want to promote them to that even though the well that's a big in the news a covered people are eating and i forgot to add edible on to that yes at a fundable edible about this we've covered this actually before lauder detergent like this in poor neighborhoods has been a currency for years and years it's you go in there you snatch some of the laundry detergent and it's highly desirable which is any currency is desirable portable fungible divisible and this is what in the ghetto in the in the slums in the poor areas is used as currency and entrepreneur can go into a bodega oh they can snatch some of this bodega but they go but they go out of the but they go into the big and they have a nice but dishes sandwich iau then they run out of the shop with their per lawyer

and blogger detergent you can quickly exchange for a little crack or something and then mark that up for a few bucks and you're not for new or you're on your way to being the next on trump i think this is where you got to be where it is actually all of those tied together in the next headline because we have deutsche bank which. of million dollars to we have crime running away with ill gotten gains and we have fungible transferrable get out of jail free card for these bankers and the headline reads from reuters business u.s. c f t c orders deutsche bank unit to pay seventy million dollars penalty penalty yes well this is a c f t c and they have basically fined deutsche bank a civil fine of manipulating that is the fix benchmark between january two thousand and seven a may twenty twelve so you know may two thousand and twelve long after they appeared before the public and prostrate themselves and said we'll never commit these crimes again we will never commit these crimes again course that is the fix

market is a many many many trillions if not quite jillions of dollars market and they rigged it for their own benefit to profit for the bank to profit on their own derivatives positions so here they are paying a small fine we don't know they didn't they didn't say in their statements how much they gained from reading is the fix but they're paying a seventy million dollar fine and to the ordinary person who's running off with some laundry detergent as their own fungible transferrable tradable currency well they think well seventy million dollars well that sounds like. that's like thirty five three hundred fifty thousand gallons of liquid laundry detergent as you point out this is coming after all these bags promised not to do all these crimes again going back to the two thousand and eight period you know what impacts or fix as a bad rig is live bore for x. gold or silver now multiple banks have been final.
