5:30 am
in the poor neighborhoods for quite some time yet what makes this newsworthy is that you know yell university that's not a poor neighborhood that's a rich neighborhood that's what makes it suddenly newsworthy and that's why they call it like spontaneous overwhelming counted in this syndrome but up until recently it would just be called not an out in the hood nobody would care because those folks were already marginalized meanwhile chicago where the event stages of this are taking place you've got wholesale slaughter going on of the murder rate skyrocketing that's the next step well here we have the people falling out as they call it now and the dean of the school of public health stand firm and said my fear is that the synthetic cannabinoids might be a new wave occupying the fire department the emergency room an email you can imagine the pain and suffering the patient's family on the patients themselves as quite a big burden on a small city it would be a big burden in a big city remember these are public health you have to treat these people because they might be dying and the yale university medical school which is one of the best
5:31 am
in the entire united states very expensive this the city has to pay for the taxpayer has to pay for it so here we have this crazy situation where who are these taxpayers paying for this all of the obama pair care folks are paying full boat like a oh you me i'm supporting like a thousand cannabinoid addicted losers out side yeah yeah yeah well this is a no this is another this is the general taxpayer and this is important to note because this is going in to my final headline here which ties the first one where you're seeing the bombs drop in yemen links to lockheed martin linked to general dynamics linked to raytheon here big media companies are branching into health care here's why and they point to comcast remember where rachel maddow works a member comcast cares well because of this sort of huge profits because remember we have we because we say we're capitalists so we can't fix any prices. but we can
5:32 am
force everybody to buy these prices where there's no limit to how much the health how much is going to cost you to walk into yale university medical so you and i could never go into yale medical into the emergency room because we would be stuck with a one hundred thousand dollar bill just for walking in there right somebody who passes out without any health insurance in the gale green well they're going to be treated in the taxpayer's going to pay for it so our taxes will pay for that but here you see these media companies you see all sorts of telecom all the all of god police that run the media that run the telecoms there that run the internet so google facebook these people are getting into the health care this this racket of a system that we have like obamacare like this no cap so the medicaid costs like they're getting in on it so they're pouring into it and that leaves the question of is it going to take all those years that c.n.n. that loves war they love the countdown to war right it took them all these years to finally say who's benefiting from it are they going to cover this health crisis in
5:33 am
america if they're profiting from that now they won't contest obviously one of the evil corporations out there in the media space that no comcast cares the common task airs on put like in a camera into people's kidney and then have a cop show about watching people's kidneys get stolen live on air and because they're addicted to synthetic opiates but they'll won't do anything to stop it so they've taken the idea of. gruesomely pornographic lee watching america disintegrate and making a huge payday on that comcast and saturday night live and lorne michaels and all those guys thanks buddy you're killing us great job well we'll be back after the break so don't go away much more coming your way.
5:34 am
chose seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any old belief just to shape out just because the ticket and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. welcome back to the kaiser part imax keyser time now to turn to dan collins of the china money report dan what are you doing in the studio oh that's right i know why you like may have decided that if trump became president that you would move back to the united states correct absolutely right after twenty years in china have now
5:35 am
relook relocated back brought the entire family back from china and now here in the united states what's happening in china and like one of the dynamics there they're shifted and how does the u.s. stack up in the global economy well the u.s. is an interesting point since trump has been elected the with the corporate tax rates going down from world high is down to you know twenty one percent there's a lot of opportunity now for the reindustrialization united states so after twenty years spent in china setting up plants in china i know come back to united states and hopefully try to help rebuild make america great again to rebuild the rebuilt part of the economy that's not just rhetoric there's actual economic data to support this type of rate balancing on the global economy and china of course the story there seems to have played out to some degree the talk a little bit about china because we always talked about china you know they were
5:36 am
part of the world trade organization and benefited wildly from that because no you know wasn't long ago they were an emerging economy but they're still kind of it yes all most products that come in a china that we've talked before they're basically mercantile as a nation they have their own duty rates usually around twenty five percent most of their economy is blocked off to foreign investment banking oil and gas etc etc you can't set up a car company in china without having a partner they demand technology transfer this has been going on for twenty thirty years nobody's actually done anything about it until now. i mean yeah absolutely. dressing the tariffs and trying to level the playing field for and as a result that the global dynamic has changed a lot say have a lot of manufacturing moving into vietnam but they're almost like a passing down time to what that trend is but the reindustrialization of america so it's trump talks about bring those jobs back unlike politicians before him he was
5:37 am
not just blowing smoke they actually had a plan for this he did and it's as absolutely working i mean you talk to fortune five hundred they're all talking about resharing of the supply chain you mentioned vietnam a lot of chinese companies gone their wages they're now in vietnam or a fifth of what they are in china however the as you mentioned they don't have the capacity to take even ten percent of china's manufacturing base so a lot of that's getting your scene companies from china u.s. europe japan all now looking at coming back to united states and setting up shop again and just to touch on this world trade organization topic briefly so they were answered the w t o n as an emerging economy now it's a twelve thirteen trillion dollar economy depending on i calculate g.d.p. but as obvious that is a still emerging economy and shit are they gaming the world trade organization that's my first question second question is that segues and global currencies and what's happening there globally there seems to be a lot of dramatic moves out there dance yeah absolutely they are are they got into
5:38 am
the dubby two zero two thousand and one they were a two to one or two trillion dollar economy by now as you mentioned now they're thirteen trillion highly technically capable economy competing with the united states at every level technically speaking yet they. say we're still a developing economy now even though they're the world's largest creditor nation the world's largest trading nation so from their standpoint there's a we're still a developing economy we should be able to have twenty five percent duties against you and you can only have two percent against us and now trump is blown up that narrative and just say we're not going along with the editing. you know when i watch mainstream made in america i get the impression that america is really concerned about russia and they never talk about china it's uprising yeah absolutely it's i think you know my personal theory is in five to ten years we'll be looking at russia is trying to bring them in its first strategic fold against a resurgent china same way we did with nixon in china in one thousand nine hundred
5:39 am
to use them against the soviet empire i think the quick the script will flip flop will be trying to get russia on our side. hundred eighty degrees different than what you would hear mainstream talk about today trumps trade war trade policy. quote winning absolutely he's winning china has already given a lot of concessions automotive tariffs went from twenty five percent to fifteen percent not enough they've offered to open up the financial sector they're negotiating now behind the scenes china has already offered seventy billion dollars in concessions to buy manufactured goods energy and agricultural goods the trump administration wants two hundred billion so the total trade deficit about three hundred eighty billion dollars. mr she wants two hundred of that back in china is already offered seventy so i think they'll meet in the middle china's going to come to the table otherwise are going to face a lot more problems domestically with their economy let's talk politics for a second so you know typically throughout history those who control the seas
5:40 am
control the global empire certainly british empire ruled the waves and america ruled the waves and but you know russia is a country with that relied of ports you know a lot of sea. so they decided to this one road one belt one road paul say it's a land based kind of empire building and you've been talking about it going to give us the update sure one by one road continues. there's two road there's a silk route so growth over land and then there's a maritime silk road they call it they're building up ports you know from syria lanka. to pakistan basically what they call a string of pearls of b.b.c. container ports that can be turned into military naval bases as well they've build the islands in the south china sea where they've got chinese navy presence now is a lot of conflict so china is the world's largest oil importer now by far now becoming much larger than united states united states no longer with the domestic
5:41 am
shale doesn't need the saudi oil talk about that for a second the united states domestic shell the numbers are pretty impressive it's a surprising i've done a lot of research on there recently the cost of shale used to be a few years ago ninety dollars a barrel there break even costs are down to forty course each beach area basin is a little bit different but they expect this to go under twenty so the technology behind a shill is making us completely independent oil oil wise and they would become become a major export so this is the us the ability to be more insular absolutely the reason for control for having the blue water navy controlling all those global common areas is called the incentive to do that will get less and less the incentive for china to get greater and greater as they have to go and secure all those resources across the globe so let's talk a little bit about the social scene if you well in china so they have a social score the credit score which keeps citizens in check you know the everyone has like their own personal movies rating their social score rating and you know if
5:42 am
you do something i guess that the government's not keen on it goes down and then you can't get on an airport you can't get on a bus your thoughts on the social media platform happening in the u.s. right now are saying alternative media just get uniformly platform obvious collusion with all the major tech companies it looks like chinese and this is a ham fisted kind of tauriel. censorship and not very subtle how do you see the comparisons are even living in china for years now now you're in the u.s. how is it speak on this. well the social credit system in the chinese surveillance is ever present present i mean obviously you could compare however i don't see them banning people all right like has happened in united states. they've been maybe subjects people don't talk about things like tenements where most young people don't even really know what happened there. but what's happened in united states very similar now i mean with you going to banning people over topics it's quite
5:43 am
alarming but china's leader in this i think that maybe united states is looking them is a role model china has facial skin cameras everywhere they can identify they've been breaking recently they identify criminal in a sports stadium within fifteen minutes and they're just pulling people out of sticky and if you're on their radar there's over one hundred thousand people now they can buy train tickets plane tickets there at the end of the sea or a hundred thousand people have been kind of black lynas just like six months or six months or year right well it seems like a fricken dystopian nightmare it is blade runner on steroids yeah i mean people are being disappeared down the memory hole i mean this is bad and horrifying and the u.s. you would think would be immune to this type of encroachment given the fact that we have the u.s. constitution bill of rights but nothing the same to be penetrating the skulls of the lawmakers who are in deep denial and trading on inside information and
5:44 am
participating in a war crimes other than that things are swell hey dan talk to me about currency chaos around the world were thrown up some numbers earlier today that were quite shocking i mean i've been around the block a few times i don't think i've seen this level of currency casse not even the one nine hundred ninety eight asian financial crisis exciter talk a little talk honest this is the everything done some numbers and this is much worse than i expected when we do the numbers everybody this year's been talking about venezuela and turkey of course venezuela i just go back ten years was two one for the u.s. dollar then became ten to one today it's two hundred forty thousand. into one and they've just announced are going to six million to one and they're trying to back the currency with cred with their own crypto currency backed by oil this is why maher republic style hyperinflation absolutely and all those social ills that come with it you know ninety percent of people in massive poverty they're starting to flood into brazil and get out of the country to total disaster that's but they're the worst ones the star performer so to speak and so for america they're not the
5:45 am
only ones the brazilian with the most fingers. yeah and then even in other countries so if you go around the world real quick brazil's down forty some percent . argentine is down forty percent just this year they're down ninety percent since in ten years since the financial crisis the dollar is benefiting by all that we are indebted by and it's not a cure all either right that comes a lot of risk no we have a periphery of emerging market currencies that look like an early stage meltdown from you know india indonesia has hit an all time low south africa's hit an all time lows you know the russian ruble is down sixty four percent ten years and the net but at your core of global currencies is over the global economic system the japanese yen the dollar and the euro and none of these currencies look good japan has bought half of the stock market they own all the countries debt europe we're just waiting for the next leg to go on greece or italy or somebody and potential breakup of the euro and then you have king dollar which is backed by united states
5:46 am
and we're twenty one trillion dollars in debt hundreds of trillions of dollars gap adjusted in debt and boomers are starting retire in droves in our social security is already cash flow negative one hundred trillion and on debt debt or more that would include off balance sheet item correct life thing we've signed up to support . dated twenty twentieth's or on trillion in debt you got to add the stuff that the liabilities total liability correct side of china debt so on a kind of a broad social view of things money come in here into the country or back in the united states and where do you. see pockets of entrepreneurial as a moral way see this thing turn around possibly well i see because as we mentioned the corporate tax rates are now low enough corporations are going to flood back and have to do manufacturing again the workforce after spending bout twenty years losing eighty thousand factories those are all going to come back now so i think there's a big potential in manufacturing three d. printing high tech industries with smart manufacturing you know there was been
5:47 am
a there's been economic near it for years that we don't need manufacturing but now you look at modern manufacturing plants it's robotics it's artificial intelligence it's machine learning it's a keith pillar of the economy is how it is to be able to make things so i see the united states going back to making their own product and being largely self-sufficient in terms of consumer goods right you know one of its robots making robots for robots that want to get their damn little someone who's a fixer or get an avatar for technology that a time from now either i forgot my name i'm bamboozled by the trends in the economy they shattering my all my my brain material but fortunately you're here to sort it all out dan collison the china money report thanks for being on the kaiser report live thank you hey that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacey air would like to thank our guest dan call's of the china money report dot com if you want to catch us on twitter it's kaiser report until next time by all.

5:51 am
going to his body he's taken out that he was innocent on his last words as last. give me something to think about as executioner and it place some doubt. there was one young man in particular washington jr. he was tried to tell society back then that he was innocent to get no one really paid no attention. in one nine hundred eighty three earl was arrested in culpepper virginia and brought in for questioning he thought it was for a burglary he had committed. by different. loser that i didn't. know i want to cook up month olds called couple. was going to dump and.
5:52 am
after intense questioning police officers extracted a confession from her for the brutal rape and stabbing murder of a one thousand year old mother of three. at his trial experts testified that earle had an i.q. of only sixty nine and was extremely suggestible casting doubt on his confession. despite inconclusive evidence the jury found guilty and the judge sentenced him to death. he was taken to mecklenburg a supermax prison in virginia. he was scared to death he was tempted he didn't want to come out of so. he's mentally retarded he can read you can write i walk in to the cell and canadian thing mangled door come see what you want that was earl the whole time he was on the road he was. scared timid.
5:53 am
odds they were me my mom did it means. a plot on a swimsuit. a movie was that i had to see the mom would have needed. two weeks before earl's date of execution the guards came to transport him to the death house enrichment. put him in a way saying handcuffs shackles and they walked him out. literally drug him out and everybody's banging on the door or that the cost of the guards. joe reached out to his caseworker marie deans to see if anything could be done. i called her in a panic as i was. out of this god did or not but i don't think you did i'll bet this guy knows what's going on when early arrived at the death house he was handed
5:54 am
over to jerry i receive their offer mecum for. and when he came in i gave him a good turn into the infirmary he was given a complete physical. at that time we only had. death by electrocution chair so he didn't have a choice you know how do you know how you had led to his and went through to your home and have a deeper hole we got with the he said he would get new really from. what i have been. and that big a mother will no longer want me to go i go again knowing oh no way. working day and night joe and marie secured a rare stay of execution. marie was convinced that earle had been pressured into falsely confessing my work with mentally retarded defendants made me know that this
5:55 am
was a what we would call a coerced confession whether it was course psychologically or in some other way did you kill that woman no. but you told the police that you did. yes why did you tell the police that you did it. oh no no no no you understand then that you were being. accused of a murder. they didn't understand most. new d.n.a. tests proved earl was not the murderer he was moved off death row but he remained in prison for junior law at the time did not allow the introduction of new evidence . gerry heard little about what happened to earl his focus was on preparing for the next execution.
5:56 am
one year after the boston marathon bombing a memorial service brought everyone together for the first time. when we walked. down the road to the site. ron and i and christie stopped at each site and said a prayer. a week later karen and ron united with survivors at the two thousand and fourteen boston marathon. they cheered their friend celeste in a symbolic run across the finish line. i am angry at what he did and when i see my friends and they struggle and i see other survivors. i don't want my decision to be based on how angry i get in those instances. that
5:57 am
paul judge will tool announced the trial would be held in boston. and we have two choices we can either let him stay alive and have his interaction and have his joys. or put him to die. and have that be the end of it. they don't get to see their little boy playing baseball anymore or reading him a story at night and in this young man is in jail and he's reading stories that he likes he's got books available to him that he enjoys or he meets with his sisters and gets to see pictures of their children growing up and i just don't think it's fair that they have had their their joys taken away from them and he still is able to experience that. karen decided to attend the trial.
5:58 am
i want to be there to see. justice. in philadelphia nearly four years after vicki instils daughter shannon was murdered the police got a lead. in two thousand and would there been a series of assaults started taking place in fort collins colorado they put out a report to police agencies all across the united states. so they sent the from shannon's case to fort collins. the d.n.a. was a match. the suspect was married and employed at an air force base. about eight o'clock that night twenty third day of april. two thousand and two this
5:59 am
fellow and his wife walked into the police station and by midnight that night they had a full confession for the dozen different cases. the men they arrested twenty nine year old troy graves philadelphia's elusive center city rapist. graves was accused of multiple counts of sexual assault and one count of murder in the death of shannon schieber. the prosecutor was district attorney lynn abraham. the prosecutor in the city of philadelphia who is known as a pretty deadly d.a. in other words she put more people on death row then any other prosecutor in pennsylvania and probably any a large number around the country. graves was found guilty and the district attorney wanted the death penalty but the she bers did not. it meant they would have to fight for the life of their daughter's killer we had said to each other and
6:00 am
consulted with our very large families that what we do if they ever caught a ball we would stick to our present and if someone was going to want to put to death we were going to argue for a life without the possibility of parole. the district attorney voiced her disagreement and outrage. the district attorney there became very very upset she became very public with her and with her opinion and she said i don't care what the schieber said the death penalty was the appropriate sentence for their daughter's murder. why were they not one. for vicki instilled the answer was clear. we just can't let this anger this natural human anger and pain overwhelm us and make us so then full and hateful because it would just over time destroy us and we know that.
