and politicians and creating it dystopian nightmare people living in their cars so he can be like he has more money than he ever doesn't want to do it all i mean it's like he's horny he's a hoarder there's people who are from 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 as 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 in 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 are approaching me for pennies and nickels i scoot get out of here you go where you poor children. the baby boomers are not given any away but anyway that point is that it's only natural that baby boomers were vote for policies that help them i house price booms of stock price things and disenfranchised the bottom you know age groups but this is. tough luck buddy get a job kids get a job we're going to take a break for the second half go what. we

have no idea what say he is doing on vacation but she will be back in september. with up of both the. last time we chased. each one of the carrying twenty kilos of drugs.

first offense. it's very well i mean i'm a little boy am. i. i don't know maybe i don't get a. break. from around one. welcome back to the kaiser report imax kaiser let's go to boulder colorado and speak with michael krieger of liberty let's create

a 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 it needs in 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 doraine threat 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 sanity that befalls the ruling class during a disintegration of empire how would you what 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 it the assistant's 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 root to continue to meet the relevance 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 know you mentioned bill kristol there and it is amazing that for a long time he was vilified as a warmonger a bloody bill kristol all of by the left and then because they need a an assassin because they need someone with no moral or ethics at all the left to size to bring them up and say well here's a guy you know well sic him on here we know he's dangerous. fairly have no moral compass whatsoever now your latest blog post reads quote u.s. tech giants are too big to. 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 on wall street if

the stuff what's going on sure and you know i've been to 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 they're 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 it harkens back to recall the arab spring that was called the facebook revolution if people around the state barack was overthrown. with an error so the u.s. came back in a re-install of barack basically. along those lines. 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 free speech in the name of a hoax call russia gate. tell us tell us a good good if you want to comment on that so 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 dead 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 we're facebook is under tremendous political pressure to find what politicians want them to find and in the process you know if you 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 they well they look funny they look they're agitated so now i've got a secret police force of america following people without notification and. who is benefiting by all this michael kroger 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. coming out because employees of the federal air marshal program 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 surge 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 established it 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 and 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 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 steven kull pair 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 eyes i mentioned with the federal air marshals some of them are rebelling you know ghouls how. a bit of a saga recently where their executives in particular are very aggressively pushing closer collaboration with government so if you recall project me even is the drone program that google has 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 go specifically create an app in china a google app that will will and 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 now

about 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 ost 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 haven't a social scar it's like a root it movies and backs for people so if you look at sideways at a. policeman you can't get on an airplane anyway michael kruger. so 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 was made nice guys or stacy or me want to thank our guest like a trigger for catch us on twitter as kaiser report that's it for now i.

one of the i.d.f. strikes killed at least three people including a young pregnant woman as well as an eighteen month old child local journalist was present at the funeral. we are now we did it by left city in the middle of the gaza city where we are attending the funeral of we now somebody on us and began work killed yesterday during the airstrikes launch from gaza strip and that's a plus three year old mother that was pregnant with a nine month baby i'm expecting him at any minute but yet is the one year and a half old baby as you see thousands of palestinians are participating in the. whining that does the policy here. and the baby oh you see you speechless i think the airstrike came from this side the smell is very bad where blood is

filling the place as you see the place is completely destroyed after talking to people in the same neighborhood they said that they found. the mother and the baby shot heard with pieces of their body were they were not in a complete bodied unison and the we run to the most to find out if the explosion was there or in the house ambulances came in the voices of people screaming were heard inside the house we started knocking on the door no one answered we went to the other door a small child opened it he was frightened he ran away from the woman's body blown apart baby was to the ambulances took the victims to hospital the husband was injured in the leg stomach and head and strikes were launched and how to guide them until dawn the israeli forces kept on pushing and strikes where the palestinian resistance also fired rockets into israel palestinian side that they would

confront blood with blood and strikes with their strikes so far there have been announcement but he agreement between the israelis and the palestinian factions where yesterday was a very very tough night on all the palestinians in gaza strip. tomorrow the palestinians are calling for the palestinians to apply to spain but there ain't much of return palestinians continue to grow to ask him to demonstrate yesterday does that. bring out a new skill a sin and in the war against the palestinians meanwhile the israel defense forces report that around one hundred eighty rockets were fired from the gaza strip the idea that it's retaliatory shelling targeted more than one hundred fifty terrorist sites most of the palestinian strikes it open spaces but at least two landed in one israeli town causing destruction and casualties call into the i.d.f. seven israeli citizens were injured. the un's middle east envoy is now warning of

a legitimate military action conducted in conformity with the international humanitarian law to target the militants responsible for planning and targeting civilians which resulted in killing and injuring them. it's not the first on this month the coalition is hit residential areas a week ago an air raid on a day the same port the one transit point to yemen claimed the lives of fifty five civilians one hundred seventy others wounded military and groups of urge the coalition to protect the civilian population as well as medical staff and the so that is which had been repeatedly hit by rights. of the red cross in sun are told us the situation in yemen is. we have received twenty nine identified the bodies of children up to fourteen years old and forty to forty eight injured among them thirty children but for the overall told. this needs to be referred to the ministry of health and population of yemen

a humanitarian situation in the country is catastrophic it's a book relation that has been brought to the brink of collapse the whole system is decimated the movement of population is growing because of. conflicts and hostilities going on so we really do think. more hostilities and you know the expansion of those hostilities with will exacerbate an already humanitarian situation even more we see violations cross the country and it's really sad to. issue speak about civilian casualties in a matter of less than a week so for us this is painful and whenever we see civilian casualties

we i mean. this is just horrific. the tunnel used by jihadists in syria has been turned into a monument dedicated to those who helped defeat the terrorists local artists. to apologize local artists carved out sculptures on the walls of the former high that. the u.s. state department spokesperson face the barrage of questions about the new anti russia sanctions announced wednesday over the poisoning of former double agent

sergey script. trying to understand what your policy is with russia are you going to write a myriad no sanctions what's your call well i think the president has addressed this and so has secretary pompei out we'd like to have a better relationship with the russian government recognizing that we have a lot of areas of mutual concern. as washington considers sanctioning a useful tool of creating better relations moscow keeps calling on britain to make public its work on making novacek style military toxic substances russia's consistently denied those claims or discuss the new sanctions with my colleague. 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 former poisoning of form of double agent and his daughter back in march now the sanctions will be implemented and two sets the fish sets will ban 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 with 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.
