from chipping peeling flaking paint from windows opening doors upgrading what it does is it damages the reading and reasoning abilities of the brain it handicaps the child its ability to be able to compete in third grade level reading long term learning in school increases school dropout rate but it also increases violent and aggressive behavior and has long term impacts on kidneys and heart and in fact lead exposure can lead to a nineteen percent increase in cardiac arrest can lead to hypertension and can lead to other aspects of brain damage and to that toddler the peeling chip on the windowsill looks like a potato chip doesn't. you know that chip that's about the size of a nickel can break down into that that that can poison over three thousand square feet in a home but mainly kids are getting that lead it does on their hands into their

mouths and that takes the starts the poisoning it only takes about three granules of sugar equivalent of lead us to our boys and a child once poisoned that that impact is reversible even subtle things like hearing loss speech to laze that slow. the development of kids across the country tell us what your organization the green and healthy homes initiative is doing next door here in maryland. but you know we have quite a good story here in in one thousand nine hundred three the green healthy homes initiative known as the coalition to end childhood lead poisoning then began a goal of eliminating lead poisoning in the city of baltimore and then to throughout the state and now nationally but we have reduced lead poisoning in baltimore city by ninety nine percent wow over over where we were so we have really

led the nation with really good laws there has been great cooperation across the aisle democratic and republican governors. our legislature our mayors and really we've had very good support from the congress and the department of housing and urban development other federal agencies to address this and in fact g.h. h.i.a. is now working nationally on a lead campaign to work with mayors county executives to fix these problems in public housing and so that we don't have another two york city housing authority debacle across the country on comprehensive policies and we have a plan that we produced to eradicate lead poisoning in five years as a major public health threat ruthann norton thank you not only for your time tonight but for the work you do. thank you. coming up watch

week while president truck made headlines often by the hour overseas the moeller investigation and the f.b.i. were naming names here at home lots to unpack next this is the big picture on our t. america. u.s. president donald trump has repeatedly said he wants better relations with russia he did finally have his long sought summit with vladimir putin both presidents called it a success the american political class and corporate media describe the helsinki summit as a failure and probably worse. seventy four design submissions. seven thousand islands. to join judges.

and eight hundred sixty nonstop days of. the russian w.b. h.m.p. it. and a russian called stuff. show you how. long the crimea bridge was built. witnessed the construction of a unique transport underway that will help the cause of crimea. we're told there was you know what google for more snow you know quite a bit but. just like the comparison to the braces versus the u.s. policies or says blow the trade dollar topcoats of the global trading environment and with the ability with leverage america's got a leverage in that economy you can reshape the global economy even when against the

e.u. with no leverage they have a zero leverage against the e.u. therefore they've lost tragically against you and they're kind of being marginalized and isolated as a result of it they completely misstated or misunderstood there it's the equation between the u.k. and the e.u. when it comes to business and. where i live in new england we have a saying if you don't like the weather wait a minute now the political climate seems to changes quickly and not just here in washington but around the world as we've seen in just the last several days when all of this happened at the nato summit president trump scolded our partner nations intimating that the usa would leave the seventy year old alliance he criticized german president until a merkel and british prime minister theresa may then declared the meeting

a success next stop britain where he praised the prime minister in a cheery joint news conference after touting that may's rival boris johnson would make a great prime minister then after he showed up late for tea with the queen elizabeth his encounter with her was criticized as disrespectful to helsinki and trumps first one on one with president vladimir putin from russia just them and their interpreters discussing undisclosed plans which the russian military has now been tasked to implement all this played out over seas meanwhile here at home robert muller indicted twelve russian. yes in a detailed account of twenty sixteen election hacking and accused russian spy maria bhutto was arrested and denied bail lots to digest you bet so let's bring in political commentators jonathan harris and steve malzberg welcome bucko this hour

good to be here gentleman in the words of the late great john mclaughlin issue one and we'll go to jonathan then steve in that alphabetical order nato bottom line it damage done it just seems to be that trump is on its high rates undermine our allies i mean to refer to the e.u. as our biggest photo and then to work to undermine nato to me i mean looking at this from a political angle this works really well in the hands of the democrats ahead of the midterms i mean it's almost as if trump is working for the democrats because this it does nothing but rally the base he is continuing to go after our allies and to strengthen people that are enemies of our nation and that's exactly who do with nato nato is now furious i mean the lying just i mean just one of the lies that stood out to me was when he said that the u.s. contributes ninety percent to nato the actual number i believe it's twenty two percent just just lying just undermining our allies ridiculous but very typical trump and i appreciate it as

a democrat but steve those fuzzy facts leave his fans undaunted dont they. yeah i mean under minding undermining nato how was nato on your mind demanding that nato pay their fair share that nations cough up the money we've been paying the bulk of nato forever telling the american just sick of it and and donald trump ran on being sick of it and calling out germany calling out germany for strengthening russia through purchasing their natural gas and through a pipeline while at the same time the whole purpose of nato is to protect germany and the other countries from russia is is that some most bizarre scenario you could imagine trump said what the heck's going on here that speaks to the american public and speaks to the world that's common sense something that other politicians shy away from and they're afraid of and that's the appeal of trouble and if you think he's helping democrats i don't know what universe you're in well steve about the america versus the world he sure plays at home but don't you find his un statesman

like comportment unsubtle and if you're elsewhere in the world weighing america. i couldn't care less of course and i've no i don't have i don't care what that i don't you think do i care what. i'm going to marco thinks of him do i care what the french president thinks of him do i care what the french people think of him do you currently american people i don't like them or is it it's america first and that's the president the president of the united states and he's doing what's in our best interests and so while keeping his commitments to the rest of the world at the same time jonathan this america first stuff is dry doughy is retro it's a joke i mean i'm just you listed all these people whose opinions you don't care about and i'm just kind of curious do you care about the american people's opinion because the majority of them disapprove also and is a like that in my friend they elected him and they get a real i don't know they didn't the electoral college elected him which is they don't work him very well i guess i guess that the i guess the golden state warriors

didn't win i'm sort of the i don't know ari thrown a very no it is very different to say no no hold on it is really different to say that he won the election he did but to say that the american people elected him are you kidding three million more who i don't have and i are a person when we will you know one can go to the other person when you know it's not the american cousin matter him it doesn't matter i guess they don't care about it guess you don't care about the will of the american people than i was you know i kind of what would you suggest jonathan overturning the results of the election i'm not talking about overturning the results of the election you literally just said the american people elected him you are again i don't know how you don't read issue two same order jonathan then steve the crowd of protesters beneath that baby trump blimp in london looked bigger than the trump inauguration crowd sean spicer called the biggest ever and the world was watching what did they see in london jonathan they saw our president somehow floating above those people i guess i wasn't actually him but it almost was now i thought that was great i love i love the

resistance that's not only i have never seen that kind of a protest take place for a visiting head of state that was just amazing it was beautiful. and it shows that not only do the american people have a very healthy distain for this person because he's the scum of the earth but apparently so does i don't want to around their out around the world so i don't know i thought of that don't sugarcoat it tell us i really feel stevie that you know something and america first who cares about the brits right that's what he would say wow you are you are really reprehensible to call the president a united states this scum that's not funny the scum of the earth would you i mean when there are literally would you want what i'm glad i hope that people are watching and you think you're doing your cause any good that's what drives the people to trump so keep it up put balloons in the air call on the scum of the earth call them hitler call them a nazi please keep it up you're making my point by making your point what would you like me to run through a list of all the things that he said but you're offended that i called them they don't have nearly enough to do i don't have nearly enough time are you kidding me i

like that you're more offended by me calling him reprehensible as a reprehensible way he's done ok face to face in finland and gentlemen we've deliberately avoided the cable news cliche of booking a so-called body language expert so jonathan then steve you read the room and what was said behind closed doors you know i'm i'm not sure i know that they're working on subpoenaing the translator but for what was said between the two of them i'm not sure i just know that what was said in front of the american people was alarming that he was talking about turning over our intelligence officials to putin that he was entertaining the offer of having people appointed by putin come work with muller on the investigation just beyond disturbance i'm not exactly sure what was said behind closed doors what was said in front of them was disturbed well subpoena and the interpreters now not going to happen but listen to this quote from the ministry of defense of the russian federation they say they're ready for practical

implementation of the agreements reached between president vladimir putin and president trump in the sphere of international security achieved at the helsinki summit steve if the russians are allowed to know what was said there why shouldn't we be. well nobody they're not being specific i mean they know who who is allowed to know. based on that statement we're assuming putin told his military people or whomever what was done there that doesn't mean it's true that doesn't mean it happened the p.p. is not telling the world to the people look look if you want to be offended be offended by a president barack obama who said quote tell vladimir i'll have more leeway after the election. and i'm talking after the election what happens there he allows them to go into crimea he allows them to go into syria he draws a phony red line he does nothing he says a month before the election nobody could tamper with wire around elections give me

a break please are you sincerely suggesting stephen i'm just just for my own edification are you sincerely suggesting that the climate upon when he made that statement when president obama made that statement which was completely factually accurate by the way he did have more leeway afterwards that was the same climate that it wasn't twenty sixteen twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen are you kidding artist or no if you were absolutely serious when you said the russians have allegedly been interfering with our elections as we have been interfering in other people's elections for decades that's not what i asked you i asked you it was yes it was the same climate when it's quiet and i was right ok a climate a climate created in fiction by the media for years are going to answer that's created the climate not to answer that's what i did answer it was live it was pretty cause of the media it was so it was the exact same climate with with election tampering and twenty twelve when he made a factual statement that he will have a alex ability to die like a as it is right on mccain and then he let russia do whatever they wanted on crimea

on syria and with the election tampering sounds a lot like count is more honest of latta me i know the way mick i just know this was going to go well so i got about a minute each give me thirty seconds each jonathan and then steve finally names addresses and. count numbers and other impressive detail in the indictments of twelve russians accused of twenty sixteen election meddling and real life bond girl maria buton a former russian central bank employee and gun rights advocate is jailed here accused of forging back channel deals on behalf of her ex boss a reputed money launderer and a life long national rifle association member to be fair no convictions yet jonathan then steve where there's smoke there's fire i.e. i think i guess it's important to point out that are turning says that she's she's innocent of all of that i just think it's incredible that she works so close and was able to become so buddy buddy with guess what party the republican party

because they embrace people like that the n.r.a. is silently usually it takes on a mass shooting to get them to be this quiet they're silent and she was able to get close enough to try to question him about how he would interact with russia but the right is silent the n.r.a. is silent i am fast as she is a character right out of the americans on f.x. and steve ever since the citizens united it's not hard to imagine that a lot of money is flowing through the n.r.a. isn't if you're implying that the n.r.a. did something illegal bring it on if they did then get them but stop with the all of it not you but everybody with the implications so she was a member of the n.r.a. that's all they're saying if they were if there's no tie to trump if she's a russian spy then lock her up if she's not let her go what does this have to do with that republicans and donald trump they think you're implying they know what she was you doing sure there is no evidence she does have that photograph standing with democratic lawyers. and i'm probably can lawmakers i want to take you back so

you're saying they don't know who she was although i know they got stuck with their they didn't know who she was at all to know you two are going out to dinner together and just begs the servant out of the cutlery from the table jonathan harris and steve malzberg thank you for joining the big picture thank you thank you . and thank you for watching that is the big picture if you missed any part of this week's show or if you would like to share it thanks in advance you can where you'll find all our shows at youtube dot com slash the big picture are to watch anytime anywhere on any device and if you see us somewhere else you can also find our ti america on direct t.v. channel three two one dish channel two eighty and on the free pluto t.v. app at channel one three two m holland cook in washington back next week and on twitter in the mean time at holland cook question more.

still. looks like it's. going. to. do it a little. even though it is really very. well it's only about the looking. forward to one of the columns on the.

you know world a big part of the lot and conspiracy. to. wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

hello i'm most does or this is the kaiser report of the show that there is to go deeper. to max we're back in new york city and we're going to talk about the trade war because of course right across from us used to be the world trade center it is the place where all trade goes through and it's the center of the u.s. global financial empire but china says bully united states started a trade war the united states has started a trade war and china will defend itself the chinese vice minister of commerce weighing shewan said last week urging the united states to take the gun of terrorists away to smooth the way for talks quote the measures taken are against the interests of china they're against the interests of the united states businesses consumers workers and farmers they are hampering global economic growth they are just a trade bully and. you know you've got these global trade organizations that are gamed by china and the u.s. gets a short on the stick so it's up as tearing up the bling board and saying we'll start

all over from scratch and that's the right thing to do we're actually have some analysis on that and by the way i just want you to say that if you want to find analysis that confirms what the chinese vice minister of commerce said you can tune into c.n.n. b.b.c. or m s n b c or fox or c.n.n. and there because they're all unanimous that this is a disaster but i'm going to look at some alternative headlines about the other side of this one from the voter and one from wolf richter who says well maybe this is leveling the playing field and you've got to protect your own economy at home because for example you know there's something like twenty six million cars were sold in china twenty five million of them were made in the country because of twenty five percent in. port taxes on cars made overseas so you know if you want to protect your own industrial industry at home you've got to have these but many manufacturing communities feel like they're in

a long running trade war one in which for decades america never fired a shot on their behalf and he's talking about a new republic article titled the inevitable death of global trade as we know it because as dan collins has said for many areas on the keiser report that we've had a trade war and the trade in the united states is lost wages in the us go down because of the financialization of the economy which rewards bankers and financier's at the expense of workers and they again i'll say they use global trade organizations and trade institutions to game for themselves in the case of china at the expense of the u.s. so now the u.s. is simply saying it wait a minute let's let's increase wages and let's bring jobs back to the u.s. and china squealing of course but that's the way it goes squealing because it's that old adage if you owe the bank a thousand dollars you're in trouble if you go the bank ten million dollars they're

in trouble and this has proven to be the case is that the u.s. imports so much more than it exports especially with china so china was trying to basically impose equal tariffs on the two hundred billion that trump imposed recently the most recent tariffs and they couldn't fight this thing as the export from the u.s. to china is garbage literally garbage you know we're exporting tanker you know china would send over tankers and ships full of stuff and then the u.s. would put all their garbage on the ships and send them back to china and china would recycle the garbage the cardboard design there's a woman there who's become the billionaire just recycling american cardboard ok but now they realize that there's not enough stuff that we export to penalize so they have to come to the table and do a deal so back to this article about the voters and why the vote. there's always going to vote to dismantle the system it's something we've talked about with the u.s. election and also with brakes that if they can kick you in the teeth they will because a common fear expressed by critics of trade policy is that over time his

recklessness risks the end of the global trading system a framework of rules put in place after world war two that they claim have brought about stability and security retaliatory tariffs piled upon tariffs will eventually make those rules irrelevant and at that point the entire system would collapse but that system was inherently unstable as it boosted corporate profits at the expense of millions of workers trump or no trump a backlash was inevitable and if the global trading system is to survive its gross imbalances must be corrected right those folks who support those protests member in geneva against the g seven against the g eight against all these global confound against builder berg all those protesters should be supporting trump because trump is essentially doing what they want now i don't i don't think that because i don't think it's an individual and i know this is something you and i have always discussed you think leaders are you know somebody that lead people but i think the it's trump is just

a symptom of this trade system that has been in place for forty fifty years well seventy years since the end of world war two the same with brakes it doesn't matter if you you max kaiser me stacey herbert thinks it's insane because we live in cities and we travel to new york city london and paris and we see all the great benefits of it it doesn't matter because we live in democracies and these people going to vote the ones that got left out and as this article points out like they kept on being told eventually don't worry just take these losses of jobs will retrain you things will get better eventually you know all the jobs are sent overseas will be replaced by higher value jobs but everybody now works at mcdonald's or some shopping center that's now being kicked out of business by amazon as i said over decades. world war two they trade policies in organizations put in place had a creeping financialization that disenfranchise the worker who then voted for trump who is then doing what he was elected to do as the leader of this group of people

who are disenfranchised including those who are protesting the g. seven occupy wall street has a champion in trump so it just breaks it if their dismantling the system that they've got destroyed by i know you don't like it but i think like if these people want a kick in the teeth of the global order as it was because they lost by whatever the global order was whatever the system was whatever the paradigm was they were losing and it was bound if you gave them a vote if you gave these people a right to vote and change that system they were going to. actually you only gave them a vote to kind of tinker around the edges and if you but you gave them a vote like take it all down by voting for somebody like trump or voting for breaks that they would take it also plays out these two very distinct countries the united states and britain in the us the deposition are the disposition of the ruling

elite will have one effect under trump and the rise in wages and in the u.k. getting rid of david cameron and bracks it will see how that plays up but they are going to have two very distinct outcomes just as the democrats in america refuse to look at the role that hillary and their own policies play in the loss of the us election both parties i think will. if they fail to confront this next paragraph i'm going to read they will always be kicked in the teeth by the voter the united states lost five million manufacturing jobs from two thousand to two thousand and fourteen while the u.s. trade deficit peaked at nearly six percent of gross domestic product economists like david auteur calls this the china shock because it incurred on a similar timeline as the country's two thousand and one entry into the world trade organization the bounty. if cheap chinese goods had a real human cost here at home you can choose to try to ignore the real human cost how did the democrats the and the republicans the two parties that run this country

they're united in this policy they have a huge almost violent you know social divisions between the two parties but they're united on these trade policies on nato and. on on all the trade deals. there's no difference not just not a sliver of difference between what the democrats and republicans want so the real you know there are real consequences and they can choose to ignore it or not and they'll keep on getting a trump but there's nothing wrong with that sort of saying i mean that the people put a populist an office like they put thomas jefferson in office they put george washington in office they put abraham lincoln in office they put john f. kennedy in office they put donald trump in office that's the lesser voters do he's doing what the voters want and the country is better for the i mean that's the way the american system works and the unification of like the likes of bill kristol and hillary clinton united against the voter right now they're focusing it all on the individual that is trump but really what they're united against is the voter who is

upset about these trade policies and the fact that they their livelihoods have been destroyed so you know the pundits who are wrong their livelihoods are destroyed and all the mainstream media the fake news in the america hopefully will get blown out of the water and bring in some real news bring in some competition there is another holy sort of entity here in new york city and that is the stock market all the pundits and all the political elite will agree that the stock markets are america that is the heart and soul of america and this is what we imposed around the world and that speaks a different truth to what they are speaking about this trade war stock markets see the u.s. winning the trade war defying corporate lobby and media propaganda since the chump impose these tariffs and keep some imposing them and all the pundits on television are united against him doing this. they're saying he's saying that this is

corporate america's propaganda machine they're getting a lot of air time on all the networks to say this is gravy you know they keep on having you know manufacturers on television c.e.o.'s and saying this is a horrible thing and trump is destroying jobs and blah blah blah but chief economist at moody's capital markets research john ski well he looked at the market . consequences since trump imposed these tariffs and what he found is that there actually hasn't been that much impact in u.s. markets in fact they're a little bit up but if you look at china's shanghai composite down six point eight percent since june fourteenth when you first impose tariffs fourteen point two percent year to date korea's kospi index is down five point seven percent since june fourteenth germany's dax down four point seven and japan's nikkei and you know those are the huge surplus nations the markets are saying they're going to lose not the u.s. so trump is a frickin genius and everything he said would happen is happening and.
