the two men named by the u.k.'s suspects in the script poisoning case tonight any involvement in the incidents they've been speaking exclusively to r.t. . you really look like the pictures shown to us by the u.k. while. we are those who are shown to you in the pictures. and i would say under. all those your real names. are real names the british prime minister's office has responded to me and to be quoting it lies and

fabrications while russia is also lending to our fires harsh reaction made only minutes after the interview where. donald trump science and executive order to counter suppose that foreign interference in america's elections head of november's crucial midterm. the full story is coming found. will be back with all the latest news from around the world in an hour's time right now there is the kaiser report. or this is the kaiser for. yeah stacey i think we've got a lot to cover so let's get to it hey you know what we're heading up to d.c. for our next few episodes so i wanted to do a double header because there's been so many different sort of headlines out there

in the world and you know we're heading into the midterm elections here in the united states we're still having this mental breakdown that you see happening on m s n b c and c.n.n. and other networks here in the united states and you know this kind of explains what i'm about what is dark i'm sure it looks like french says i'm not complaining i'm just saying so all my headlines are basically i'm not complaining i'm just saying what i see out there in the world is perhaps a little bit different than what you see on m.s.n. b.c. or c.n.n. heading into the midterms where apparently one hundred percent of the elections are controlled and about putin so i'm just saying like maybe there are other reasons that people in america vote as they do so i'm going to look at this headline first because this is something that you and i brought up in two thousand and sixteen before hillary lost in such a spectacular and humiliating way we did say that here in north carolina obamacare

prices the actual premiums went up by forty four percent two weeks before the election and we thought you know stupidly that something like that would have an impact on what voters felt when they went to the voting booth of course it was much bigger than a forty four percent increase in your premiums but here is another story that could have something to do with how voters feel obviously there is some superman out in the world that might be bigger than any you know kryptonite of of prices or or predatory practices so here's a tweet from john walker d.c. it is crazy how much our drug spending prices shot up only in the united states right after obama cut a deal with drug makers to drop all campaign promise about reining them. in as part of a ca so of course you always know the top line zero is the one out of control whether it's you know it's certainly with health care prices that's the united states that

there are drug prices from two thousand they've really started to take off from the rest of the world and that's when obama did the deal with you know the drug the pharmaceutical company said he wouldn't have rain on their prices you know what was incredible at the time was that liberals and progressives were saying this is a poison chalice this is a horrible deal but it's incremental it's either a to it's what we need to do to get to where we need to go as if it was a continuation of where we've been corporate galad jing remember dennis kissin it was taken up with obama's plane and he came down and he was a convert to obamacare he was the last man standing course bernie sanders was like oh yeah you know medicare for all be great but we're just going to let this slide you know it's progressive we're going to progress to something better at some point you're not progressing at all you're regress going back to. a

feudalism you know america never had to feudalism because we had a revolution against a monarchy and we created this whole thing called the american democracy we never had feudalism now we're going back to africa we're experiencing feudalism for a good period what about louis the fourteenth or charles the second or alexander the great or charles schultz or snoopy or lightest we're going nowhere this is an absolute. actually you mentioned feudalism and that is in my next story and without them actually saying this is an article from w. from web m.d. and it's about insulin prices spiking insulin cost patients and brutal buying so insulin prices have skyrocketed in recent years on average tripling between two thousand and two and two thousand and thirteen one popular brand over log increases

list price by three hundred fifty three percent from twenty one to twenty sixteen but some raise the money however they can mother people with diabetes take less effective insulin or ration what they have one survey revealed that forty five percent of diabetes patients in america had gone with out insulin because of the price and in some cases the consequences have been fatal they go over some of the fatal stories but in particular they talk about this one guy so there are thirty million americans with diabetes seven point four million have to take insulin type one diabetes is the sort that you're born with him your pancreas does not produce insulin so you have to take insulin. they speak to this guy irv earle he's an m.d. and he's a professor at the university of washington school of medicine and he's one of the nation's foremost experts diabetes he himself has type one diabetes and he remembers back in the one nine hundred sixty s. he supposed seventy five cents so now it's up to thirteen hundred dollars

a month for two vials or whatever you need for that month. but so this cost he's talking about half of patients actually go to canada to get their insulin . obviously canada has a universal health care and they negotiate prices with the pharmaceutical companies so you know there's this crazy idea here in america where trump ran on the he would allow re-importation so he would allow to canada to negotiate prices with pharmaceuticals but we americans can't do that is against our ideology but you can we'll let you go up there. and get their prices but here he says he doesn't blame the drug makers for the price increases exclusively he said there are three companies that make insulin products but the nation's opaque medication pricing system pharmacy benefit managers control which insulins are on an insurance list of approved drugs and get rebates from the manufacturers to do so they can exclude a drug that rebate is too low the result is that what one person pays for insulin

could be vastly different from what another pays then i'm going to go into a quote where he confirms your idea of feudalism because this is the entire structure of the us versus the simplicity no bureaucracy no middleman across europe and saying the united kingdom over their health care system he says you can think of it as a tax by the time the insulin gets from the factory where it's made until it comes all the way down the chain to the patient there are a lot of people who touch the insulin and everyone wants money for touching at one of the things that's different in other countries not as many people touch the insulin before it gets to the patients so that keeps the cost out that's the exactly what feudalism feudal times was like that there were constant toll booths and shake downs and everybody wanted to cut before any money got from the king in his goal down to you the schmuck on the street right into the shutdown and toll booths and if you look at the charts on medicare cost bloat and that the number of

doctors isn't going up but the number of administrators the number of bureaucrats the number of middlemen tollbooths tolerate errors and get their hands on the pie that keeps skyrocketing you know it's amazing to me that americans they'll drive you know five ten miles out of their way to save three cents on a gallon i guess and they'll probably burn more gas getting that three cents off a gallon of gas then that makes sense even the go get that three cents off a gallon of gas or the go to a site like groupon and they'll all pool their resources together to get a twenty percent discount on sushi right but if you say you know what you don't have to overpay for your met. kara by three four five hundred percent six hundred percent you don't have to be treated by the pharmaceutical companies like you're an organ donor like they look at you like they want to harvest your organs the big pharmaceutical companies they see your liver they see your spleen they see your lungs they see your your plasma they're like we want to monetize that we want to engage in vivisection we want to cut you up we want to sell your part yes we want

to make that money and americans are like you know what here's a knife start cutting me up and taking my organs please because i'm really strict and stupid i'll have twenty cents a gallon of gas but you can have my kidneys for free that's a stupid these people are i don't know what sympathy for the has because people know when you put gas in your engine in the gas tank they know kind of how combustion engines work they know how how it makes your wheels turn and you go forward down the highway people don't know what their kid need does or their pancreas or what their lungs look like and you know they don't know and told that they're not experts on that and so one of four dollars u.s. health care dollars is spent on diabetes so we're going to also look at the predatory nature of this health care system and how that might just saying i'm just saying that low protein i want to just get that my as i was saying that might have something to do with how people vote either they are voting because of this or they're voting because of a guy who lives six thousand miles away so price fixing allegations they call this

section caring wolford dreads going to the pharmacy to pick up her insulin i can research a plan before i choose what we're going to do next year but there really is no way to know what's going to happen the uncertainty is one of the worst parts about it says woolford twenty eight a writer from atlanta like many americans she has a high deductible insurance plan so has to pay many many thousands of dollars of cost and her her insulin is thirteen hundred a month until she gets to. the bit where the health care actually kicks in but she goes again she keeps on talking about that the unpredictable nature of it so what i'm saying is i think many voters i know i would you know i get concerned about we don't know what our obamacare prices will be next year we don't know them yet they haven't told us they won't tell us until late much later in the year so you have no idea if your costs are going to go up forty four percent like they did in twenty

sixteen and they can go up twenty three percent like they did last year so you don't know how to plan for next year she herself has basically decided she and her husband don't have any kids or they don't plan to because they can't afford it because of her she has type one diabetes and she has this cost otherwise she's going to die so because she doesn't know if it's going to be thirteen hundred next year is going to be seven hundred dollars for her insulin or is it going to be two thousand five hundred she doesn't know. how it was a stunt or nor castrated program. well if i was the know it's it is definitely predatory and they actually talk about one guy who was once he turned twenty six and he was no longer covered by is america his parents' insurance he was confronted with thirteen hundred dollars a month for his insulin but he couldn't afford it so he waited to get his insulin until his paycheck amen but he died four days before his insulin before his push to the operative word being death cos twenty six years old was four bucks for the

insulin the george thirteen hundred. perhaps. and the god of course the pharmaceutical companies say they need it for research money they need they need that for research studies been proven that other countries don't have the same research budget but for the same innovative drugs and medical procedures anywhere so that's a look at where you tube. in terms of cancer research right but how is that not an orchestrated campaign to wipe up part of the population or i mean that's the hut not i get i don't think it's that i think they consider that collateral damage in the predatory practices that they have here and it's about all the middlemen all the middleman or all cods in the machine and there's no. there's no one figurehead guy at the top saying i don't running most including all these people it's like i'm just the guy pushing paper and denying your insurance claim i'm just the guy sending the bill for the thirteen given the next guy selling the insurance claim is making sixty to seventy million dollars a year as an as a salary that's not

a guy but that's the way god but the predatory system with it is set up so that nobody has is culpable member barack obama said that there's there's no real illegal thing that happened when the entire financial system fell apart and fraud there was no nothing you could specifically point to and say that's the guy that caused that oh i get the second responsibility but i'm just saying i'm just saying this could be why people are angry this could be why people vote the way the elites assume you're saying that you are going with this you see what i'm saying because i said. because i'm saying i'm saying not complaining i'm just saying exactly but he of attention is at least as important as economic inequality so he talks about a situation that happened in east germany when a street protests in a small town in saxony was totally ignored by the visiting chancellor merkel a protester complained she doesn't even look at us with her. one can imagine a trump voter saying something similar about hillary clinton so he talks about the

fact that this is part of the whole trend of d. platforming d. monetizing and just shutting down the voices of the angry populace and sure it clearly expresses itself as very right wing and the much of the elite that control everything are left wing and they don't want to hear their voices so they shut it down here they were protesting and they felt like basically merkel didn't doesn't even pay attention to them with her you know behind and they go into the fact that there is a bestseller that from an author there who. you know basically looks at the their nazi past and is considered right wing it was in the top ten best sellers for weeks and spiegel just took it off but it wasn't on the top some book of lists and timothy garton ash was putting that into this notion as they were basically that we're not even pay these people don't even count we don't even hear them we're

going to blank them and instead of it you know having conversations with these sort of people and doing things like nine hundred sixty s. and seventy's television used to look like in america when the likes of malcolm x. when the likes of muhammad ali were on television talking about really they were talking from radical person liberal and sort of progressive stands but. you know here we don't have a sort of debates where you're talking about radical crazy ideas and those. you're asking the question about liberalism and europe and the welfare state europe and the fact that on one hand it doesn't have the same problems always seen the u.s. but now you're saying on the fringes of the rise of problems well in germany they're doing very well their incomes are very high they have free healthcare they have free education many of the people in these far right groups the alternative for democracy a.f.d. or something like that that they're that they're rising in power but they have like

aristocrats and very wealthy people being part of this these far right groups so he's looking at it and looking at why it's not caused by economic hardship clearly in the situation because these people are doing very well and they have high incomes they have all all that they need so he's looking at what else might be causing this stuff that our media is unable to process at the moment i looked at there was a close whoa he's saying that the inequality of attention that we're there they're expressing concerns and in this case a lot of them are concerned about the mass amount of immigration into their country even though it's not going to east germany it's going to berlin and munich and hamburg but he said for the rank and file it went when spiegel took this book off their top seller list even though it was a top seller is it for the rank and file it is yet more evidence that the liberal elites have so little time and respect for them that they won't look at us even

with their worst still they won't even let ordinary people say what they think and a poll conducted in spring two thousand and sixteen for the freedom index of the john stuart mill institute in heidelberg only fifty seven percent of responded and said they felt that one can freely express one's political opinion and germany today he thinks he goes on to say that he thinks it's encouraging debate john stuart mill but encourage debate no matter how odious your opinion with the matter . if you're steve bannon that you should be put on stage and challenge with equal intellectual or somebody able to articulate why that guy is wrong or what you know have an open debate like we used to back in the sixty's and seventy's before everything got you know back in the seventy's by the way we see the show the bodies of our dead soldiers returning from vietnam we don't do that anymore we block out a lot of stuff but it still exists i'm saying this seems to be a lot of stuff that exists that ignoring it doesn't make it go away i guess because

you know sixty's and seventy's are going back to the recent past and further into the past to have economies and societies that were a lot more diversified in the twenty first century live in an economy that's run almost one hundred percent exclusively on a consumerism so the fact that merkel is not paying any attention to these people is not really the issue and they should really concern themselves with that the only question that they have to ask themselves is are they buying stuff because that's the only thing anyone really cares about the richest people in the world like a jeff bezos they they get rich by selling people stuff because that's what they want to buy stuff and they want to that's that's how they define themselves you are what you buy that's who you are you're not a religious affiliation given those out of the country but those are not p.r. they have some knowledge you know part of a community if you're just somebody that buy stuff and if you don't want to buy stuff then we don't want to hear from you and that's the end of the story nevertheless. we still live in democracies those people who vote a.f.d.

still vote those people who vote for trump still vote and all our media is able to say is absolute shock they don't know where it's coming from the only ever answer is putin that putin has something to do with it they're not looking at our own culture hillary clinton called those people in middle america that are ignored and trump spoke to them whether or not he is. means that he spoke to them and spoke their language she spoke like an ordinary person and she called them baskets of deplorable and after she lost to him she said that they were losers and my people were winners my voters who are in dynamic winning places so that's why i'm saying that they must write in these german fringed nazis are not winning any big elections right now are soaring in the elections they found while a percentage there that i think they are the number two party right now but what's a chasm between the one and two well you know there's a there's a multi-party system and germany nevertheless let's move on to the next story because here you know here's

a guy he's timothy garton ash he's offered this inequality of attention and certainly there seems to be a lot that happens in the world that does not get covered by the corporate media because it does not sell goods it does not you know. the answer is not to. ignore the basic underlying problem in the the society has lost its vitality as a dynamic place for social cohesion has become purely a way to move goods to be the end product on the subway line and that's the end oh good now that's a bigger problem that can be addressed in the numerous different ways but politically i don't think what the campaigns run by corporations for corporations by corporations are going to see any change in that sector of the but the fundamental nature of the disintegration of what's happening around in certain communities nevertheless continues and i want to talk to in the last three minutes here about another headline from the atlantic because they are starting to also look and question the deeper. story of what is actually happening sure major

corporations coca-cola nyc nike is now financing colin kaepernick calling copernic so that you know these major corporations are adapting in co-opting various groups and they will always perhaps win until they don't but why technology favors tyranny artificial intelligence could erase many practical advantages of democracy and erode the ideals of liberty and equality it will further concentrate power among a small elite if we don't take steps to stop it obviously we're not going to take steps to stop it because that's not the nature of humans and that's not the nature of how power power doesn't just give up the amazon is now a trillion dollar company apple's a trillion dollar company they're progressive companies they give to democrats and they're going to democrats are going to do all they can to make sure that those people maintain that power and wealth just like obama helped maintain the power and wealth of wall street when they backed him in the twentieth century the masses revolted against exploitation and sought to translate their vital role in the economy into political power now the masses fear irrelevance and they are frantic

to use their remaining political power before it is too late breaks and the rise of donald trump may therefore demonstrate a trajectory opposite to that of traditional socialist revolutions the russian chinese and cuban revolutions were made by people who were vital to the economy but lacked political power and twenty sixteen trumping breaks that were supported by many people who still enjoyed political power but feared they were losing their economic worth because of ai because of robotics because of the at the beginning of the knowledge economy they fear irrelevance of course they should fear a rebel. irrelevance because they are irrelevant that course they are what they have been saying for many years that has mimics mimics humans to the point where it completely fools humans so humans are being relegated to the dustbin of history a useful robots and they say this is an interesting line they said it's much harder to strong. will against irrelevance rather than against exploitation looks that i

least when you're being exploited you can say look i work in a sweat shop factory for making mike's shoes some people agree but here you're like . you're basically jeb bush pay attention to me clap for me you know and none of the bots the runaway i can hear you scream. and it's over i'm not saying that for a long time malcolm glazer right with the singularity that's happening faster than anyone really wants to admit and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacy ever you want to catch us on twitter it's kaiser report until next time.

i'm trying to say that in reality before we take action for sure through the actual like energy efficiency for renewable energy you do actually generate the more money and the more draw and you were higher the curve it grows so i want to change the story line. claim with extra is not a bad for the economy or your own money but claim that actually who deep beneficial is good positive make you money pull you. off.

hello and welcome to worlds apart when the united nations was founded it was meant to serve as a forum for conversation and conciliation gets you into and meeting of the security council and what you'll often see is not the robotic well mannered debate but rather accusations and allegations i diplomats just postering for the cameras. is this really as dysfunctional as it appears to discuss that i'm now joined by members of the president of the united nations general assembly for this seventy second session mr president it's so good to talk to you thank you very much for your time thank you for having me and good morning from new york now your term is about to end within the next couple of days and about a year ago when you just assume to your duties you said in an interview that one of your ambitions for this ten year is going to be overcoming narrow national interest do you think you have succeeded in that. i feel very strongly. about the

general assembly being the most representative platform and the fact is that we have one hundred ninety three members to come here we do interests with the red lines but at the same time it's important to understand that. we should not be fighting against each other because we should be fighting to go for a better world and this is what i have to.
