this actually doesn't have anything to do a trunk but it's going to lead into a headline about him this is a tweet from the national weather service in los angeles and it's the end of the ward water year when i was saying like in new york i don't know what your problem is. because we don't have all day you know i'm saying. the end of the water year which october first twenty seventeen to september thirtieth twenty eighteen percent potations summary and on the color chart that you'll see on full screen you can see we are we down below very very parched conditions in california this year. due to some might say the next headline trump administration sees a seven degree rise in global temperatures by twenty one hundred last month deep in a five hundred page of byron mental impact statement the trumpet ministration made a startling assumption on its current course the planet will warm a disaster seven degrees by the end of the century. so this of course is way worse

than what scientists are even saying but here the trumpet ministration buried in this five hundred page report me this assumption that actually they believe that temperatures will rise by seven degrees but they ministration did not offer this as a dire forecast premised on the idea that the world will fail to cut its greenhouse gas emissions as part of an argument to combat climate change just the opposite this analysis assumes the planet's fate is already sealed and that we should therefore get rid of fuel bishan standards and other sort of carbon emissions standards for this party on. trying to give up alcohol if you're an alcoholic if you know that there's going to be free booze your whole life you know this is a. denial denial denial especially on the republican side the energy. supporting the climate denial industry out there for years that there's also.

climate change are getting hotter and the planet's actually getting cooler and we see we've been battling these people for years and now suddenly they flip and said well you know we were lying to you we were enabling this whole thing to happen rachel carson was right greenpeace was right we are all facing an extinction event but it's ok because we are throwing the biggest species parting the extinction parting it's going to be great you're going to love it it'll be a troll. of course. quickly once again there's a huge industry for wrongful birth insurance anyone born now your parents cannot deny that they know that there's less than one lifetime's worth of ecological resources for you you can sue them for wrongful birth and cap salut you know wrongful birth insurance billion dollar industry warren buffett this is next way to screw everybody in fact there was an article that was tweeted out by the

wall street journal and they were talking about the fact that insurers are having a hard time basically there are so many one thousand year events that they're having to increase they're being hit hard by climate change disasters and so they're increasing their. premiums but the fact is that you know i tweeted back at wall street journal saying well isn't your editorial page like responsible for all sorts of climate change denial that you're pushing so in a way i do agree with them that it's too late it's way too late now i think there's nothing that we could do to stop the catastrophes that are coming because the catastrophes are already happening i mean while we've been here by the way my stepfather had to he was ordered to leave his house i received an emergency text around the same time and had nothing to do with it but the fact is he was ordered by because of the hurricane that hit north carolina there's a giant sinkhole opening behind his house and it's going to be just house so he's been ordered by climate catastrophe my stepfather is a climate change refugee and. right now right he has you know millions more

hundreds of millions of more it's like the black plague of the fourteen hundreds and society was broken into two camps those who are so flagellating because they blame themselves and those who want to fornication madness you know just like the end of the world let's get it on so there's just orgies in the street everywhere and so flagellate or so that i think it makes two or three years that we'll see the same kind of societal break you'll see orgies and so flagellate or. well that kind of takes me to the next headline based on what i've seen in london regarding the saudi royal family kind of looks like some of the flagellation you're talking about but trump says saudi king wouldn't last two weeks without u.s. help president donald trump said the king of saudi arabia may not last two weeks without u.s. support escalating pressure on one of his closest arab allies to curb rising oil prices and pay for military protection quote how about our military deals where we

protect rich nations that we don't get reimbursed in the campaign rally in the u.s. state of mississippi last week i love the king king salim but i said king we're protecting you you might not be there for two weeks without us you have to pay for your military you have to pay you have to pay for. a lot of the king of the magic ball we put our hands on the magical o'more. is great the king is a great dinner the king of the king but we're going to give it a good listen this fits in to fill it up my theory going about trump is that he sees the balance sheet of america the pentagon the military budget is too rich these are already deescalating tensions on the korean peninsula so they're where you are now. so now kim jong un is his best friend and we're going to pull troops out of south korea he's decided nato is garbage we're going to pull troops out of germany push germany into the arms of russia by the way and now he's in the middle east saying to the saudi king we're pulling all the troops out of saudi arabia as well because as a man of peace. quite

a piece that's what one can say so oil prices have risen to eighty dollars a close to eighty dollars a barrel and trump is not happy with it so the funny thing is i have another headline also from bloomberg and it was like a few days before this headline of trump threatening the saudi king and that is what oil at one hundred dollars a barrel could mean for the global economy i think they have to rewrite that because obviously the saudi king looks like he would be had lists i think the people of saudi arabia would be able to go after him perhaps if the u.s. does protect the royal family there but there is no one major dissenter billionaire in the saudi who they kept cooped up in a hotel in the ritz for weeks and he had to give a lot of his balls back prince prince only we're told he's probably working with trump right now to overthrow the king of saudi arabia bit of a coup in the horizon. well there was actually an interesting bit in this story

about the one hundred dollars oil per barrel oil of course it wouldn't be good for consumer nations they point out but because of fracking and because of fuel efficiency standards that you know it might not be as bad as the last time in two thousand and seven two thousand and eight but they point out that most of the big oil producing nations would do well obviously and they're emerging economies saudi arabia leads the way with a net oil production that is almost twenty one percent of gross domestic product as of twenty sixteen which is more than twice that of russia which is the next among fifteen major emerging markets and oil producers so twenty one percent of g.d.p. for saudi arabia is oil and energy production in russia they're saying it's like ten percent so again i want to point out that america is something like eighteen percent of our economy is just house care so we're. we are

a hospital masquerading as a nation if you know what dick cheney had said about russia was that they're a gas station masquerading as a nation just to put into context the ability to keep inflation jamie in the bottle is evaporating so we see prices going up across the board oil is just one of them we see interest rates rising that's inflationary we see the dollar eventually cracking and have a catastrophic collapse that's usually inflationary so prices across the board go up. saudi arabia venezuela hello their oil based economy is they all benefit wildly from the emerging market takes a benefit of this in oil and gold gold starting to perk up again and but going of course would skyrocket two hundred thousand plus and then just speaking of russia i have this last headline and you know we've just left hollywood here in palm springs and this is such a crazy headline i genuinely genuinely thought this was like from the onion one of the satirical news sites and it's so it's real and it's stirring star wars the

last negative buzz amplified by russian trolls study finds so an academic paper released titled weaponize in the haters the last general in the strategic political pop culture through social media manipulation examines the online response to twenty seven teams last movie that has come to be considered controversial amongst its larger base of the franchise but the study suggests that reputation may not be earned but instead they find this study finds that evidence of deliberate organized political influence measures disguised as fan arguments is the likely objective of these measures is increasing media coverage of the phantom conflict there by adding to and further propagating a narrative of widespread discord and dysfunction in american society read. the soviet union were responsible for lynching blacks in the south during the years because in these new star wars films they feature a black character and they. they are being attacked by the all right and the

extreme right and the racists in america and to justify this in hollywood because they don't want to admit the level of racism in america they blame it on russia that's a pathetic the news media is hollywood is and these social discourse in america is it's just a frickin movie about aliens in furry costume shooting each other with ray guns get over yourself america. i mean you saw this sort of thing at the hollywood stock exchange when you ran that in terms of the inputs in your algorithm to determine prices on various box office features how would you in put this into your algorithm well that's on there is ninety eight percent of the internet was white so anything with a black actor or director time it took less by orders to move it up in price so that's part of the algorithm that i develop as patented five nine five zero one seven six is the past number if you want to look it up and so you need to make certain concessions toward the demographic and psychographic of the market to make a fair market price parity but that is

a way to adjust for racism so it's racism adjusted prices need to be racism adjusted just like the price for exxon mobil stock needs to be adjusted for their risk the risk of the extinction event that they're perpetuating that risk adjusted price for exxon mobil stock is zero their risk adjusted price for monsanto now owned by bear is zero the risk adjusted price for apple and microsoft is only going to take a break we'll be right back after this don't go away. along . so when you want to be close. to going for which you won't. be. interested in the water. there should.

join me every day on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. it's easy to find and then in me where there followed a man swear their. bangs much more difficulties explaining all things are once you stop telling people look you my hate the banks by where do you put your money ah you put them in the bank and what happens to the broncos zonda don't see your money anymore these kind of reasonings will be much more i am full to make people on the stand a video dynamics there in why people auctions on consequences of price is that of post nobody wants to.

information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities. to stay in the country with donald trump in the. movie. a beautiful. welcome back to the kaiser report on concerts i'm not sure frank who i've just met your welcome to the kaiser report thank you so we're here at the crypt springs in palm springs is attracting an international. diverse crowd technologist and

a lobbyist in washington for j. street is that correct that has a correction for yeah i was a lobbyist i was an organizer i was a fundraiser so it's also a bit more about that organization just sure i think it's really important and thanks for asking a question outside of crypto because i think we need more of that so i worked for j. street for eight years. looked at the us israel relationship and said you know what i think something's wrong here i don't think we're actually serving israel's best interests the palestinians best interests and certainly not the u.s. and he's trying to figure out what was wrong and they realized there was this huge effort to convince the u.s. government that to be pro israel to do whatever the israeli government said. when in fact often the israeli government might be doing something that was counter to israel's sustainability or survival and it's a democratic country you can elect a super far right wing or super far left wing or whatever have it and that

government may or may not be doing what's best for israel has been dominated by one lobbying group. the american israeli political action committee in fact apac doesn't stand for that ok which is good to know so apac stands for the american israel public affairs committee so that was how j. street actually got its edge we won by having the largest pro israel pac the political action committee and we realized that a pac by the way donors do contribute to candidates and that's how they were effective but the organization as a whole and so you couldn't trace where were the dollars going if you were like well how much you know how much money you get from a back pack we don't you know and so. we found out is we could convince senators and congress people over time and it was not that long only eight years and a pack is decades old one hundred million plus dollars but with an eight million dollars budget and really good community organizing an incredibly strategic messaging we were able to convince enough senators and members of congress that to

be pro israel is to be pro palestinian to be pro israel is to be pro peace you know this narrative in terms of israel and palestine it's a narrative that we grew up with. certain heroes and villains in the story and to question it brought about a raft of media attention in a lot of negativity so that story that official story you're saying needs some nuance and it's a little context you should've been our comms director yeah exactly nuance and so actually when we first started out in year one we thought we only had to change the political money flow. and we quickly realize that members of congress go home and guess what happened then they go home to their home district they get the wrath of the rabbi who has the wrath of the community as the wrath and there's only one way to be pro israel and it's just to say yes to every israel that is so we actually had to change the whole communal cultural narrative and so we had to launch organizing and we had to launch student movements and we had to actually change how

people understood the conversation that they could say you know what it's a little bit more complicated or it's not black and white and even just being ok with asking a question. to the kind of the table so sure sure do you see a question about mideast politics on the out there who do you think about. how you stand it the subject the iran in the case of iran you've got the hardliners let's call it a pac has a certain position which is very aggressive toward iran as i understand it j. street has has a different position and this is playing out now in real time it has real world consequences so in other words. in the case of the room what they've done and you know you need to tweet less because this pulling out of this deal as you've done. a lot of oil prices going up and saying we don't like oil prices going up and so that's ok so from thirty thousand feet of down to talk

a little bit about that give your perspective absolutely and i think that's a lot of what brought me into crypto oddly enough so i'll try to tie those together if i can just to start where you began which is what the hell is going on with the u.s. and israel and iran and what is going on here and. the iran nuclear deal which obama was able to push through and j. street was the lead lobbyist to get that through congress so even though the state department and hillary clinton and then kerry you know in this decade you know a long time of actually a diplomatic agreement with iran and i think it's important remember we went to war with you iraq remember when that happened ok so we didn't exist at that time the pro diplomacy way of working and with the political dynamics of israel being anti muslim i mean it didn't exist so we were able to push a diplomatic deal through but then trump comes into office so even with all that power and intensity and intelligence and political change. it's still a matter of his regime change in this country and then the fraying of all of that

and so i think what that taught me is that this has to politics isn't enough even the best politics we can't move money fast enough we can't move power intelligently enough with political systems that it has to be something else and i actually know what that was you know until i found crypto and that's where i saw holy cow these are different kinds of systems ok so in the case room they were subjected to monetary such a. monetary movement just a huge bang was and this is a weapon that the u.s. uses against folks that they don't agree with and they interfere in a lot of activities going abroad so crypto to segue crypto into crypto. resistent right and so you're saying that beyond the political solutions there needs to be something more something more substantive that leads to crypto so that take us take you there when people say what's the toughest problem i mean middle east peace comes up or the middle east comes up. and here i had in my personal experience in

my like twenty four seven job for eight years seen that you could achieve extraordinary change you could not go to war with iran like we went to war with iraq you could do these things and yet and yet it could be frayed so easily so even the hardest challenges you could solve intelligently with political systems and power jockeying and moving money the way we were doing in politics but then it could fray so quickly so i think with crypto the question is could this be a way to organize power and we don't use that term enough in crypto i mean in politics it's about power now whenever you know but encrypt a really know what's about the centralization decentralization of wind power right and so i think where i hope we're going in crypto is that we do decentralized power globally effectively on a lot of different layers and such that in the case of iran like the sanctions that

we and many other countries in the u.s. were imposing on iran and what that meant for the people are demanding this is actually i mean i have been in crypto as long as you but i would say that's not a term i actually hear that often and i don't know that that's going to what does that connote but anyway and if you're going to. transfer a value without appreciation right problem with any let's we're going to swing over toward to your wheel house so to speak you suggested that crypto could benefit from having some lobbyists taking on this industry in what you succeeded with j. street. the political edge yes. to seem to most thinking. you know when you can't make a call to action an event like this is so talk on that we have got a minute left ok the pulse of the south is a little just wasn't right well i think it's changing i think it was antithetical to the early days of crypto and declined the idea of politics and lobbying in these and i think it's still edgy and complex but i think that if you are shapeshifter if

you are coin based or if you are any of these institutions i think shapeshifter especially with these deep values you keep over terry and crypto early because of values you are seeing that if you want hard money to have its promise realized you can have to communicate with people you're going to have to deal with power dynamics or even if you're developing groups in washington there's to. be a group of us or they may not go to they not get it it's more than just having a lobby in washington it's having the intelligence of political organizing in our industry operations so when you're a product and you want to penetrate a market and you're crypto it's not just penetrating the market you're changing power dynamic so you're attempting to change our understanding and financial understanding that's organizing and there's nothing else and you need a comms team if you're a campaign and you're running for office but the first person you're hired money ok fine crypto has money they don't need that the second person you hire comments on the last person i am not going to wrap it up because unfortunately doing another

segment to some point but this is a day we got to go by it's a nice room kind of the port you're welcome thanks for having already and that's going to do it for this edition of this report if they maximize or safe here we're going to take a special guest shiro frank. try to catch us on twitter it's kaiser report it's next on. when a loved one is murder it's not true to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it be the death penalty just because they think that's the fair thing the right thing. research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying those just move the present and then we hear even many of the families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's

what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. this is crude oil. soon they need to actually physically hold it out of the ground he would have well well well well well well. there's a lot of money with the oil and with that comes. a lot of a lot of people from all over the country. if you don't make a hundred thousand dollars a year. as a minimum there's an issue. here in india. they were told

sixty dollars a day it's hard work well work it's not easy work and so they want to relieve their stress of how do they relieve their stress these men move back out like these men that comfort these many. people have been murdered up here people been raped they're massive drug issues up here you have a boom you have everything else that comes along with money. in one of the most serious space incidents and he is a russian soyuz rocket forces a. to abort them launch the international space station as that capsule crashes back down so we're. going to. give him a little

a good. russian cosmonaut to let see and american astronauts make a both a ride back to where their journey started in kazakhstan's baikonur to the near death experience. and it's been a real emotional roller coaster for relatives some have already embraced their loved ones again while other family members unless waiting.
