in their cars so that he can be like he has more money than he ever made with it doesn't want to do it all i mean it's like he's horny he's a hoarder there's people who are phone books in their apartment and they just they can't live there anymore because there's nothing but phone books this guy is like just around he's hoarding cash is nothing to do with it he's just a hoarder i want to quickly turn to the last headline which i think ties together all of those growing wealth gap between young and old remember jeff bezos newspaper washington post says democracy dies in darkness and one thing you could say about democracy is you know the more vote you have the more you win and the more you gain and we've seen the baby boomers turning sixty five as of what two or three years ago and this growing wealth and income gap is really down to age so they said that elderly households have much greater wealth and child households which is to be expected because older households have had more time to accumulate wealth the trouble lies in the growing gap between the two types of households in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine elderly households had a median net worth that was approximately three point eight times that of child

households i households with children under eighteen by twenty thirteen their median net worth was now twelve and a half times as high as those with children under eighteen in the house whenever a situation or approaching me for pennies and nickels i scoot get out of here you scare and go where you poor children. the baby boomers are not given anyway but anyway that point is that it was only natural that baby boomers were vote for policies that help them i house price booms and stock price things and it disenfranchised the bottom you know age groups but this is o.e. deal and tough luck buddy get a job kids get a job we're going to take a break for the second half go what.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the lawn they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to preserve. that's it like to be for us this is what before us three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. our.

disposal. last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs. is the main thing. they have this is. me. i don't know. i will break right. now more.

feel. welcome back to the kaiser report imax kaiser let's go to boulder colorado and speak with michael krieger of liberty let's create dot com michael welcome back hello max it's great to be back on with you all rather than colorado home of the resistance you know putting up billboards for the g.o.p. the zero is a place with a hammer and sickle like a big red billboard the red scare is michael here in colorado what's happening you

know i saw i saw that headline i just checked real quick as you were it was it's in parents out in grand junction and i'm not sure who's responsible for the grand junction is really far away it's all the way in the western part of the state i'm not really even familiar with the area so much was not like it was in denver or boulder or anything like that yeah it's just you know it's this is russia gate it's a pretty it's a weapon that's all it's just a weapon of the establishment that they're trying to they're trying to use to keep their power and their relevance that city needs it's such an obvious scam i don't even know how anyone falls for it but hey that's the environment we're in properly not enough people are falling for it because trump's ratings are through the roof on the up side and the democrats are putting together any kind of opposition whatsoever now what does underline this political duran duran michael kraig or its cable news ratings driven we've made that point on the show before is it just a part of natural of saturday that befalls the ruling class during a disintegration of empire. wow if you would where would you put this sure ratings

is is something that you know keeps it alive for sure but i definitely don't think that's the driver i think your second your second assessment is absolutely you know it's the nail on the head that's exactly what it is that's all it is needs to be seen in the context of a lot of different things but primarily essentially empire right an imperial system that has been had that has been run for decades now by donors and corrupt politicians and bureaucrats that have completely destroyed. the country allocated all of the wealth and resources to a tinier and tinier sliver of the population and that created a lot of animosity and then the financial you know crisis and bailouts and how that was all handled was the final straw and so you know as i'm aware as i've said forever a lot of people that voted for trump don't really like trump it was just the middle finger it was just a way to say you know what let's just let's just try something new even though this might be crazy and i'm not even sure it'll work out anything's better than the status quo anything's better than hillary and then you know the trump derangement syndrome in russia gate is just a way for people in power or that were previously respected quote unquote to

continue to be respected in power and the reason you know that's all it is the one the final proof beyond everything else in my opinion is the fact that you have neo cons and establishment democrats like rachel maddow joined at the hip now you know at these max boots bill crystal's david frum's like they're they're the resistance heroes now or as some like to call the assistants which i think is better so so that's what it is and it's crazy because you look at the it's the biggest failures in american history coming together and talking about russia twenty four seven to try to continue to be relevant like and it's like cancer and herpes you know coming together and getting on m.s. n.b.c. with the you know tumors and sores and telling you come to us come to us will save you from putin it's pathetic wow that's not a pretty picture. you mentioned bill kristol there and it is amazing that for a long time he has vilified as a warmonger a bloody bill kristol all by the left and then because they needa an assassin

because they need someone with no moral or ethics at all the left to size bring them up and say well here's our guy sick him on here we know he's dangerous. have no comp moral compass whatsoever now your latest blog post reads quote us tech giants are too big to power. are full and now are running into serious trouble we have google being evil in china we've got facebook banning american anti-fascist activists and calling them russians ok what's going on is to work out a loss if all the stuff what's going on sure and you know i've been a huge proponent of social media even though i haven't liked facebook for a long time i've been able to see that for the most part let's just take facebook and twitter they have been reasonably neutral i mean they've been getting worse over the last few years particularly after trump won but they have been platforms and people have across the but you know the sort of the you know the digital public

square and so people throughout you know society have been able to say whatever they want on these platforms and again trump winning is what changed everything as far as politicians view of these platforms because now they realize that oh no when the rabble is allowed to talk to each other and say whatever they want we lose control of the narrative and then we can install whatever presidential puppet we want and so that's a total freak out and and so now you're dealing with a combination of two things with these tech giants one there's so enormous they're almost like governments in themselves and then to these plot clips facebook in particular and twitter are platforms that allowed people to make decisions on current events on their own and politicians are now very upset about that so they're just going to start saying everything that is not a mainstream media approved talking point is somehow linked to russia and as you mentioned these activists in d.c. had their had their page removed by facebook these are american citizens because

facebook decided to they wanted to appease politicians and call it linked to russia they darkens back to recall the arab spring that was called the facebook revolution the people around the state barack was overthrown. with an error so the u.s. came back in a re-install to barack basically. along those lines this. so that was a clear indication that this whole democratization of communication and the democracy spreading from the lawyers of american entrepreneurial as i'm was fake news that was a fake story but i just focused for a second on it touched on it there. the facebook banning these anti-fascists so there were fastest there were neo nazis on facebook and then a group of merged to confront the nazis and facebook banned the nazis banned the anti nazis and then. maddog picked up the story as if somehow this

is tied into russia right may stream media echoing a blatant miscarriage of speech in the name of a hoax call russia gate. i'm jealous still so good good if you want to comment on up to two points on first of all if you look at what facebook did the other day right with banning these thirty two pages or so across their platforms nay said specifically we cannot link these to russia that's what they set and then of course mark warner you know who's this big russia gator democrat from virginia senator he comes out and says see this is proof that the kremlin is continuing to meddle with our democracy yet facebook themselves said they couldn't tie it to russia so that's what happens is something you know facebook gives them a little bit of a breadcrumb and then they start making up stories linking it to russia it's absolute madness but here's where also gets interesting in that piece that you referred to in his moto you know these activists were trying to figure out well

what makes you think these things are suspicious and apparently it has to do with people running these pages using v p n's or two or and then the question was asked the facebook well is that what you're saying if someone uses a v.p.n. or tor that they're automatically you know have to be russian and facebook wouldn't respond they wouldn't give any other reasons that they thought it was suspicious so it's a really it's a really sketchy time we live in now where facebook is under tremendous political pressure to find what politicians want them to find and in the process you know if a few activists get steamrolled and we get less free speech who cares right that story that came out this week about air marshals on flights who are now following people off the plane they they anticipate will they have no reason to suspect them but they're just following them as part of the expansion of the surveillance state and the definition of perhaps of why they did follow them what may well they look funny they look they're agitated so now you've got a secret police force of america following people without notification and.

who is benefiting by all this michael fare yeah there you go right so it's the quiet skies program that the boston globe yes so i mean it's crazy you read about this and the good thing it only good news is that a lot of this. it's coming out because employees of the federal air marshal program are are are doing this job does work and they're saying themselves this is crazy why are we doing this we're spying on other citizens in one case i don't know if you if you saw this but they were tracking is southwest airlines up flight attendant and they're just like what are we doing so it's become so absurd now that at least some of the people being paid to spy on the film citizens are saying this is crazy i don't want to do this anymore but you make the bigger point which is that it's all about social control if you look at the trends in america and it continues to this day the overarching corporate government establishment is obsessed with keeping the citizenry in line keeping them scared keeping them

surveilled making sure that they can't you know get out of this overton window of conversation you know as chomsky said the best the best way to keep people acid in obedient is to allow lively debate debate within a very narrow range of issues but not outside of those issues and that's essentially what facebook is now trying to do to the american public yeah i noticed that you can see it you know just anecdotally in america's humor the late night comics and things like this they're they're not funny anymore that they actually get up and they do tragedy or there is a case of a woman who switched from doing standup comedy to stand up tragedy it now in the one thing about in out nazi germany for example is that there wasn't a lot of stand up comedy at that dinner and you know in berlin during those years you know that this is what happens when people lose their soul and lose their. perspective on life they become days humorless drones working for the surveillance state and you can sit in the complete lack of humor in stephen called bear or jimmy

fallon who have now become just puppets far the state sadly now tell us more about google being evil in china yes so this is another really interesting thing where i mention with the federal air marshals some of them are rebelling you know google's . had a bit of a saga recently where their executives in particular are very aggressively pushing closer collaboration with government so if you recall project median is the drone program that google has it has with the pentagon and the actually a lot of google employees resigned publicly because they were so disgusted with google doing that and there was a huge protest within google from from other employees and google actually had to backtrack that but what you saw from leaked e-mails is that google executives were wanted to do it you know they were trying to you know basically propagandized their employees to say it was ok so the exit where you see now is an interesting split between some ethical google employees and google executives who have absolutely no

morals whatsoever and the recent push broken by the story was broke by the intercept yesterday is to specifically create an app in china a google app that will will add here to every single censorship request the chart or terry in chinese government wants banning any searches related to human rights democracy free speech tiananmen square images will be blocked so my point was essentially if google goes through with this google will be directly helping an authoritarian foreign government maintain its grip on power for money that's a big big deal and people need to be aware of that's very disturbing right we have thirty seconds left can you talk about jeff bezos areas one hundred fifty billion made fifty billion just over the past few erle what's wrong with this is good or bad like ok or yeah i mean i think i think that the days o's and amazon are one of the biggest threats we actually face right now in this country because if you read

some of the literature on what they're trying to do they're not just trying to sell you stuff on the internet they're trying to control commerce completely by controlling the platforms of commerce and of course in china they have a new social scar it's like a root it moody's index for people so if you look at sideways at a. a policeman you can't get on an airplane anyway michael krieger. chock full of goodies we're going to keep you on for a second segment if that's ok with you sounds wonderful ok that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser stacy her we want to thank our guest michael trigger for catch us on twitter as kaiser report that's it for now i. first. of all the start

moving toward a shoeless don't google so diageo out on the first day. trying to hush. the stupid eleven to. let me nearly. run a full boat around eight hundred eighty two leave it to most rigid. groups or something because the senior. girl. was on the right. newt you would just look at it would you. go the wheels really it's a real. movement if they were in. georgia i mean the. bruising us to whom we've heard. this morning the child will last.

join me every thursday on the all excitement show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you. and indeed this is. the church secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the geographic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice center that it has not as the end then i think that it is this yet in.

this. case both. here we take a look at. the u.s. .

over one hundred years ago and. i think. the u.s. has announced it is imposing new sanctions on russia over the poisoning of double agent. and his daughter in the u.k. saying it holds ultimately responsible with more on this story. the united states six two thousand and eighteen determined that the government of the russian federation has used chemical biological weapons against its own nationals despite any new evidence coming to light the us wants to impose sanctions

on russia and this is in regards to the form of poisoning of form of double agent sake a script and his daughter back in march now the sanctions will be implemented and two sets the fish sets will bomb licenses for the export of sensitive national security goods to russia including electronic items and these kind of exports have been previously allowed on a case by case basis the second round of sanctions though will be more severe this will be the prohibit us baron colognes the ten minute carrier landing rights which we could affect flights from russia to the u.s. and fed the restrictions on exports and imports as well but the u.s. says they that the second round of sanctions will come into effect unless russia provides reliable assurances that it won't use chemical weapons in the future and agrees to on site checks by the u.n.

but when you say reliable assurances it was last year twenty seventeen years of national community the o.p.c. w confirmed the destruction of all chemical weapons in russia exactly the chemical weapons watchdog verified the destruction and can fend this in september two thousand and seventeen but with still waiting for now evidence as to why sanctions of being imposed now and the u.s. has already implemented measures you might remember that around sixty diplomats were expelled by the u.s. last spring when this saga fest escalated but when questions at the press conference the state department officials didn't mention any the reasoning behind the sanctions whether this was because of old evidence or new evidence let's take a listen to what they had to say. where are you getting the conclusion that rush is behind this creep are poisoning i will leave it to others to characterize the current state of our understanding of the scriptural affair we've been very clear

that we agree with the assessment that it was a joke agent and that the perpetrator was ultimately the russian federation. i'll leave it to others to give those kinds of details of what we currently understand obviously from reading the press it appears that their investigation is ongoing in terms of the scope and nature of the details and its implications but i'll leave that to others the key words there from the official swear a leave it to others to give the details so whether the u.s. wants the u.k. to disclose the evidence behind the attack remains to be seen and the u.s. is now skating around the reasoning at the moment issuing fresh sanctions without fresh evidence and all the while russian officials here in moscow keep asking for transparency for evidence to keep asking can russia be involved in this investigation and yet we understand the basis of the u.k. as evidence still falls on the quote highly likely stance well the case views on there always has been highly likely that russia is behind this attack saying that

only russia has the motives the means and the record to target the school policy and moreover as well moscow has repeatedly denied involvement with this offering offering like you said cooperation on the investigation which london has repeatedly denied but so far we know that the chemical weapons watchdog the a.p. c.w. and porton down haven't been able to confirm all region of the nerve agent we have nor verify the precise source but we provided the scientific information to the government but you have not been able to establish at porton down that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide eat you know the scientific evidence that identifies for the particular and their future is but it's not our job to see where that actually was manufactured to be create your not table look cotton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that as analysis of the p.c.

w.'s report i did too far as the country. of origin of the agent use. in this attack and now we're left with this highly likely stance from the u.k. and the u.s. is issuing this fresh round of sanctions but we haven't seen any new information come to light here in the sanctions that the us be imposed on or around august the twenty second in the meantime the u.k. prime minister's office has welcomed the new batch of u.s. sanctions on russia the russian embassies saying it only wants transparency it still asks can we please to be a part of this investigation by the russian embassy calling these sanctions describing them as druck kone and measures now the sanctions are not being imposed yet but already impacting the russian economy with the ruble plummeting to its lowest since the twenty sixteen crash earlier we spoke to former u.s. diplomat jim just trusts he says the new sanctions have very little to do with the script case i would go so far to say that the u.s.

government like the british government knows very well that the russians were not responsible for this and this is this is a political demand this is designed to undercut the overtures from the trump administration for president trying to warm relations with moscow with it with russia and this is a way to undercut that by making accusations against russia that are not only false but there's no way they can disprove president trump would like to have a good relationship with russia i think political ploy to conduct centrally a kind of a warfare against russia and i think that people in the kremlin know that i think they know there is nothing they can do nothing they can say that would satisfy these demands and this news just in kremlin spokes person dmitri peskov has commented on these new sanctions saying it is too early to say anything about possible council measures mr peskov did call the sanctions unacceptable and unlawful. facebook could have much closer ties to washington than

previously thought it's now emerged that the platform is relying on experts funded by branches of the u.s. government and even nato when it comes to tracking foreign influence trying to explain. how's that for a mark zuckerberg nightmare he or his team in front of a horde of suits go and sort these russian bots out sort out the fakes sort them out or did i just paint a good picture of the reality web giants of been facing lately in the past election you. we seen how foreign actors are abusing social media platforms those images can be attributed or associated with the russian company lack of resources a lack of commitment and a lack of genuine effort the likes of zogby could have proudly said we're just a platform where independent and sorting out what you call fakes is none of our

business but when wall street alarm bells are ringing you know how it can happen with the stocks it could be better to zip it and focus on an intense year. see if we stick to be the tough year began with. news feed algorithm the trick was to boost posts with let's say pics of your friends cat and sideline all that politics related media stuff haha they say this lead to less views likes and comments under donald trump's posts moved on facebook has evolved from policing offensive content to policing news views ideas it can be anything apart from your friend's cat if people flag them as potential hoaxes we send those to fact checkers and if those fuckers say that the law is provably false then we will soon. if we can reduce the distribution of that content why did you want to

just say get off our platform will look as a horn to some of this content can be i do think that it gets down to this principle of giving people a voice eventually though the get off our platform way to sort things out still prevailed ok and now it's time to meet the fact checkers journalists have found them in a tiny room at these guys h.q. got it at the end of the day facebook's not so happy with that online policeman's hat so zuck and co are outsourcing the digital share locks i'm being serious that's what they call themselves who are let me check where they come from a. link to nato with their help thirty two suspicious pages have already been sorted out the big ship is not turned around overnight. but i think that the. no give them some opportunity to work with them and i hope that in the months when we have.
