max has a pacemaker. it is his third. for parents jennifer and buck, the first sign of trouble came before max was even born. >> my 38 week appointment, we found out max has damage to his heart. they could not get a good heart beat. they took him in an emergency c-section. >> the last feeling i remember is it is hopeless necessary. it is out of my hands as a dad. as a dad, that is not something you are used to. >> i just said please just save my son. that is all we are here for. i don't know what you said. i don't understand what you will do. i need you to save my son. i need a chance to know this kid. >> it is hard to imagine, but for mom and dad, it was all a blur. max was born with a heart condition which is rare. it includes four separate problems in the heart and leads to a lack of oxygen in the blood. without a pacemaker and eight surgeries so far, max would not be here. >> if you touch it or it gets hit, that is when i feel it. >> it is like the movie "cars." you want the parts moving together. you don't want one going like this and another at a dif

of the freedom a radio dot com stuff on a welcome back to the kaiser report thanks max great to be here so stuff on live the u.s. . percent thinner of the absurd and on the brink of chaos every leader of the free world is talking about more debt. ceiling and euro tarp plus the semantic games of the us what is going on well china says or at least a private chinese rating agency says or makes the argument that the us has already defaulted through devaluing of the us against other currencies and that has been enormous and significant just over the past ten years the us dollar has lost forty percent or more the dow in its real returns since new year's day two thousand has lost almost thirty four percent and so what's happened is a devaluing of the dollar against other currencies that as we know is a result of two things which are closely related to u.s. debt the first is keeping interest rates artificially low and the second is just printing money and how is the thread printing money but as we all know there is a need to buy or have bought over two trillion dollars of u.s. debt and they've

worth of earthlings slaving away twenty four seven will never be paid back and the other important thing to note here max is i really believe that this political theater is at this point the only thing keeping the us dollar afloat it used to be backed by gold and then it was backed by oil and i guess the industry and productivity of americans now all those other things are gone and all you have is this political theater to make people think that there's actually something there well there are you know they're stalling because they're hoping that at some point growth kicks in but you hit peak saturation of debt and two thousand and seven and no mount of accounting fraud or trickery or bernie madoff like policies gaming commission now rejigger the books so that you've got any amount of growth to satisfy this amount of debt so you're talking about debt collapse all over the world it's a global debt lumps that's what we're talking about but speaking of wacko insane you know political actors political leaders and alice's indebt rao hints of emerging economy crises so here's reuters they look at the us and thi

i'm stacy herbert this is the kaiser report gold saluting the world economy breakdown sneezy cold war max that's our first headline there gold gives a standing ovation for the obama boehner masterpiece of political theater so we've seen in america the political kooky theater getting crazier and crazier but this is that the important thing is that how gold responded and obviously always the deal is going to be done right we knew that but we have always told everybody that gold is responding to this collapse in american empire yes it is responding it's responding to the collapse and morning it's a response to the collapse and the american empire exactly they had a great run after world war two but now it's one of course and now it's all falling apart and all the satellites that rely on the u.s. for their largest all those military contractors and client states and puppet states i got all that free money from a corrupt talker see in america they're all being choked and then you want to throw money buying gold and silver the price keeps going higher and this will continue because no amount of

they say we need to save the money. max was in washington and a house sub committee voted to continue the program. it is a first step. there are many more committees that still need to weigh in. the other issue you heard about from max and other kids lobbying in d.c. is medicaid. about one-third of all kids in hospitals get some sort of medicaid assistance. after max and his family left the office, we caught a few minutes with max baucus. >> there should be cuts. we will not cut kids. whether it is children's health or medicaid, we will not cut kids. >> that is good to hear. the budget fight, of course, is still unfolding. some of the proposals being discussed could result in major cuts to medicaid which helps many children and low-income families. we spent time with minerva love. her family relies on medicaid for her care. her family calls her mimi. she has a smile that lights up a room. >> how are you? >> like it did this week on capitol hill. but even at age 5, she can only speak a few words. you see as a young baby, she

the research to be done. my response is there's one. max is mine. we'll do whatever we can do. >> fortunately, the pages are privately insured, but it is expensive. >> our insurance premium is more than a mortgage and our car insurance combined. it's a stretch for us to do it, but that's the level of care that max requires. >> that kind of care might be at risk for kids who rely on medicaid. >> there are about 30 million children who are now covered by medica medicaid. it's the most common insurance for children. and we see a lot of parents who have either lost their job recently or are having a hard time find ago job who then come to us with the medicaid insurance and it's critical for us to be able to provide that for the children. >> 30 million. >> 0 million. >> on behalf of all those kids, max is headed to the nation's capital to put his force behind the national association of children's hospitals. >> what's the value of this? >> when max was 3-months-old and they operated on his heart, it was the size of a walnut. mine is the size of an orange.

they're looking at the situation backwards so applying this to the method we've seen in the pharmaceutical industries max we see that in the pharmaceutical industries they look at the population of children in america and they say let's create a problem for them we'll call them psychotics and then we can sell them more drugs in america they looked at the population of people without jobs and they said let's call those people a good credit risk and give them more debt and this is exactly what they've done on the global stage as well they looked at greece they look at portugal and they said yes let's join them into the euro in the common currency area with germany and let's make them compete with germany and give them all the debt they need to compete with germany bernanke is obviously psychotic and so is tricia and so is all the people who are now orchestrating this global bailout they're not taking their meds as they should. both of the i.m.f. or the g twenty these are conventions of deeply psychotic individuals who are taking their meds that's the problem is actually the medicines are being given the pr

>> the mission is two-fold. max is up here to try and help save the medicaid funding for children. 30 million children are on medicaid and also to get the message out to save the funding for children's hospital graduate training program so we're training pediatricians in children's hospital facilities. children's hospitals are 1% of the hospitals yet they train 40% of the pediatricians and pediatric specialists. and that was the main mission for the last 2 1/2 days, just to get the word out. >> buck, we've obviously talked about this quite a bit. i don't think a lot of people realize these programs are in jeopardy, talking again about medicaid which provides this level of care to about a third of kids out there and then training doctors as jennifer was saying. were you -- do people seem to understand the implications of your message? >> i think they all understood what we were here to do and the message that we were delivering. i think we broke it out in some very clear detail, even if it was confusing at one point

to bring you up to date for the moment the news continues and that's the. max and stacy check out the. greece goes on sale to scrape together some cash is the cause a report next. for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers. i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report i believe was the first one in the world to point out that there's a lot going on in europe that you need to focus on happening beneath their surface elo germany four point zero. let's get some more details from stage yes max we're seeing the introduction of neo feudalism into europe as we've said all along sell sell sell everything must go in greek fire sale europe's most indebted countries and britain have put prized assets up for grabs to bolster their credit worthiness so what exactly is on offer max tell us a everything well we know in greece we've already listed that last episode ireland has the national airline ports power stations energy suppliers transport systems sporting assets and even the irish national stud well thank yo

on i don't know but don thanks for thanks for being with us tonight well and we've extended the invitation to max to be honest so again maybe maybe we have to get stacey on first but it's always open we hope the congress thought of this don thanks for being with us tonight i know use of you are our first comment i comes from screw open borders i disagree on you tube who writes the debt talks come at a perfect time right when ron paul and the senate start taking obama to court for violating the war powers act nobody talks about that anymore how convenient but as the desk as the debate rages on here in washington our millennial is dismissing older people as a complete waste of time perhaps for good reason mark america writes i found the debating politics of anyone over forty is a complete waste of time they are the generation that is largely responsible for and was unconstitutional wars helpless restrictions of civil liberties and a fourteen trillion dollar debt if they were rated like bonds their value would be junk listening to two keynesian baby boomers is enough to make jefferson roll over in i

the world's financial turmoil and he's got something to do with the fridge a kaiser report is on the. max kaiser this is the cause or report let's get all the details from stacey or tax europe declares war on rating agencies of course the policymakers from europe and across the world have denounced moody's drastic downgrade of portuguese debt as an act of financial vandalism accusing the anglo-saxon reading agencies of driving states into bankruptcy and destabilizing the global system yeah that's right they call it financial vandalism she they're upping the rhetoric and we we've been talking about financial terrorism for months and months and months now they're upping their rhetoric they're going to get to the point now where they realize that this is in fact not vandalism which is a quaint way of saying terrorism they didn't accuse asylum bin laden of vandalism on nine eleven zero never did that it was an act of terrorism moody's s. and p. and fitch are financial terrorists and they are purposefully targeting these countries for destruction because they want their assets for nothing well

taliban was two islamic terrorists well said stacy ever thanks for being on the kaiser report thank you max well the back with much more so stick right there. hungry for the full story we've gone to. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. welcome back to the kaiser report time now to go to lovely beaches outside of athens greece to talk with economists a professor yes vera fake as janice welcome to the kaiser report thank you for having me yeah it is more austerity measures for greece from the news footage it appears the population doesn't like the plan but what about economists like yourself do you like the plan i think this is one of those occasions where the crowds collectively shows more rationality is. the great and the good to the european union the police makers and all the analysts who are supporting what in my estimation is a highly irrational totally see for dealing with this is the crisis well you've got two basic approaches to the various crises around the world there's the austerity and tax approach and then there's the let's print money company

it looks like a worse situation than in greece all right thanks so much for being on the kaiser report thank you max i'll go much more coming away so stay right there. we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from the realms of. the future are covered. the official placation. pulled from the top story. on the. video. feeds now in the palm of your. t.v. dot com. welcome back to the kaiser report time now to go to new york and speak with dr michael hudson dr hudson welcome back to the kaiser reports thank you very much all right dr michael hudson let's get into grace and your thoughts on greece what's happening well it says it finances the real motive warfare there financial times reported earlier in. the. agreement to surrender to europe it was done to the smell of tear gas in the sign of sirens and the wall street journal had a very interesting article saying well now it's time for them to us sell off the parthenon sell off the greek islands this is what in the past you need an army to achieve what today is being done now financial aid so finance and bankers are the new army and instead

that maybe the hue and cry will die down by then but you think this was the way of him giving her the maxould give her. >> i thought it was very moving the way the judge summarized the false statements that casey anthony made which were so appalling. imagine, you know, most people are frantic when they lose sight of their kid in the mall for a minute. casey anthony went month after month deceiving the authorities about the fate of her daughter. and the judge went through that. you could tell in his low key way how appalled he was. he did everything he could but this is what happens when the defense wins a case. misdeamnors are minor crimes. and so he didn't have any more discretion than he exercised to give her any more than he could. >> casey anthony wakes up in jail. it's her day to be set free. what happens? >> well, there will undoubtedly be made between authorities in florida and her lawyers to try to make it as uncircus like as possible. presumably her lawyers will have arranged some sort of hotel room, some sort of friends place so that she can go somewhere where she will at least

stressing the nation's power grid to the max. >> the longer it stays hot and the longer the system has to go without being able to cool off, the morris ski it gets and the more stress builds up in the system. >>> energy secretary stephen chu says his agency is ready. >>> andrew deyoung was declared dead at 8:04 p.m. thursday, 15 years after being convicted of murdering his parents and sister. courts allowed the execution to be taped to document his reaction to the injection. a break through in the nfl lockout. nfl owners gave the thumbs up to a ten-year revenue sharing agreement to end the four-month work stoppage. >> hopefully we can all work quickly, expeditiously and get this agreement done. it's time to get back to football. that's what everybody here wants. >> now it's the players' turn to vote. sf players approve the deal, team facilities could be open as early as tomorrow. >>> a woman suspected of having ties to the group anonymous says she's not dangerous and not associated with anyone. tracy zen swale la and 13 other people were picked up in a big fbi raid this week. the justi

the currency matrix thanks you have a tell me more well max the entire world's financial system is once again crumbling and part of the reason of course is the oligarchies that rule our world and have not faced justice for that because they are part of the oligarch it is no differentiation between the heads of these banks and the heads of the government but also importantly the other important to greedy and its propaganda and how propaganda confuses the populations in the west half of us social program re scipio believe they have not used a government social program so this is from the united states and if you look at this chart of the top for demonstrating the most ignorance of being receptive audience of government welfare. three out of four of them regard our referring to higher education but that is the five twenty nine or coverdell which sixty four point three percent of people who receive this government funding don't even know they're receiving taxpayer financed help home mortgage interest deduction hope or lifetime learning tax credit and student loans are also people who receiv

with misdemeanors they don't get the max. the judge going with the max. what was he saying to us? hat you told cost this county probably hundreds of thousands of dollars, man hour powers, and let's face it, t.j., they could have been out looking for other missing children, and that's what he's upset about. typically when we see a charge of lying to law enforcement officer, it's because some guy gets over for smoking or for speeding. he knows he got an old warrant for smoking speed and he pops and lies and gives his power's name. that's typically false information, right? >> yeah. >> that's what we get all the time, a misdemeanor, a little probation, be on your way. don't use your brother's name. this lie and these series of lies caused the orange county investigators, the fbi, there were tons of law enforcement agencies involved in this, and there was a missing child, so we thought. >> yeah. >> then her attorney gets up in opening and said she was never missing, just kidding, which is essentially what he's saying. >> but is the judge saying in this, you know what? i'm trying to giv

shares often from hedge funds who are bailing out of the company what does that tell you max well it tells me that he's got a great relationship with banks the same banks of the government bailed out are now buying shares of b. sky b. on the behest of murdoch and it collusion that is again completely kind of thema to the sense of fair play and democracy in the marketplace again it's a fraud it's perpetuating a fraud and let me just put make a little side here the who's the biggest shareholder to come do we're not just a fence on day one but a saudi prince who's a big shareholder and of course the saudi arabia is a perfect example there is a country that's completely in the throes of a dictatorship of furnishers dictatorship portie the wealth and income gap is probably one of the highest in the world that's what the murdoch's aspire to they aspire to lords and service they speier to define right schleps to not keep the dictators well going back to the story about. ditching the shares and selling them to institutional investors institutional investors are also of course the passive fund

look before crossing the street and watch out on these roads a street racer pushes his sports car to the max in central moscow but his need for speed ends in our image. outrage grips of britain over allegations aimed at several newspapers in rupert murdoch's media empire including getting secret information about the queen and former prime minister gordon brown that as senior police officers have been questioned by m.p.'s over claims they knew about the scandal richard addus editor in chief of the day the day online news service thinks the hack data could be misused and not just by the tabloids but i think that where this does become a christian for national security is the idea that police is selling private phone numbers and private contact details of people like the royal family in the prime minister yes well this is not necessarily the same to sell these things to a newspaper as it would be to sell them to a terrorist organization but if you can do one you may be able to do the other so yes it's very serious but i think what people like to talk to and. expecting is full the scandal to go

thanks so much for being on the kaiser report thank you max ok don't go. so much for coming away right after the break. for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice to face with the news makers. on. the a. looming. the official. pulled touch from the dumpster. lights on the good. video. feed now in the palm of your. t.v. dot com. welcome back to kaiser report time now to go to new mexico and talk with guy macpherson professor emerita tess of natural resources and ecology and evolutionary biology his blog is nature bats last welcome to the show guy macpherson thanks max it's great to be on with you ok now guy in two thousand and eleven it's looking to be the worst ever for climate disasters certainly worst of two thousand and ten now the us has seen the worst droughts in recorded history the worst floods in u.s. recorded history the most tornadoes in history the biggest fire in arizona state history is this all just a freaky coincidence or is there something else at work here strongly suspect or something else at work here climat

murdoch who is the dog poop of major media yeah but i maintain that we actually don't have governments max that these regulators are not operating on behalf of the people because they are actually are only a wing of those corporations who they're allegedly regulating is just a facade for the people there is no such thing as government in our world today no not in a club talk r.c. you can rightfully refer to the people sitting in those offices as a government you know you're right of course when moody's downgraded portugal by four not just to junk. spreads on irish debt food and irish begged to buy fridges to boost the economy so the eleven ten year bonds rose to record amid increasing speculation that the nation's credit rating may join greece and portugal being downgraded to junk and the only thing that could rescue them they're saying is consumers but the consumer savings rate is over twelve percent look this is a complete disconnect between what a sound economic policy should be and the benefits or harm it may impose upon the population the people in ireland should not be out incurring

next as promised let's titian of the kaiser a poll where max explains the consequences of deadlock over the u.s. that. week. by american cars or stacy herbert this is the kaiser report you know ideas are the currency of any revolution those who are max ideas are in our headlines today the first one could this cindy sherman of monkeys accidently revolutionize copyright law for artists so cindy sherman is the famous artist who takes self portraits and if you look at this image that's not cindy sherman that is from indonesia and he took her camera from a nature photographer visiting indonesia and took south portraits of himself now this has become a big copyright issue because copyright in for target free always belongs to quit ever took the photo who actually snapped the button not to the person who owns the camera or whatever so the man who took this photo david slater was working for caters news agency and now caters news agency is sending out cease and desist orders to people like tech dirt out com who posted the photo and techer to saying well you don't own the copyright. agency wrote

so over the past week as greece has been and have austerity measures forced on the greeks we have also seen this headline max debt leading greece finds no buyers and fire sale of national assets so apparently representatives of the greek government while all this protests were going on in the streets of athens they were in london at claridge's hotel looking to sell off fifty billion euros worth of income producing assets up for sale were thirty nine airports eight hundred fifty ports railways motorways sewage works a couple of energy companies banks defense groups thousands of acres of land for development casinos and greece's national lottery apparently they found no buyers no they won't find any buyers this is the experience that the american indian had with the u.s. army the us army came with crawling across the western plains of america and they gave the american indians exactly nothing for the legend and the concept of actually owning the land was completely alien to the indians the idea of owning the grand canyon for example was a concept that was completely alien to their culture similarly in greece t

because of propaganda they don't even know they're on a social welfare propaganda tell us more of the did to max this is from boeing boeing and with the way cory doctorow explains it he says keep your government hands off my medicare phenomenon writ large a society of people who subsist on mutual aid to redistribute policies who have been conned and conned themselves into thinking that they are rugged individualists and that everyone else is a parasite so where do they get that miss notion of course from the likes of fox news where you hear over and over and over and over again the welfare people are those black people who live in public housing and you see those people way down at the bottom of the list twenty five percent of food stamp recipients don't realize they're receiving government aid seventy five percent know it which is pretty shocking actually that twenty five percent don't know where they get it from you know. the ones that they do know the deal that they're getting by the mayor and the people on the top don't know but actually they're also getting by the man yet so the bottom is t

thanks so much for being on the kaiser report thank you max ok don't go. much more coming your way right after the break. first. second. class compete in the. remaining machinery. legal on our team. welcome to the. what makes a big splash in the world of high tech business climate trends in france science into eye catching products they don't understand. easy he followed russian innovators to broaden their big breakthrough back home spotlight on story on technology update here on. we. covered. welcome back to kaiser report time now to go to new mexico and talk with guy macpherson professor emerita tests of natural resources and ecology and evolutionary biology his blog is nature bats last welcome to the show guy macpherson thanks max it's great to be on with you ok now guy in two thousand and eleven it's looking to be the worst on ever for climate disasters certainly the worst in two thousand and ten now the u.s. has seen the worst droughts in recorded history the worst floods in u.s. recorded history the most tornadoes in history the biggest fire in arizon

worthless debt but also the other thing we see here max is that none of these rating agencies were held accountable for their crime wave leading up to the two thousand and eight financial disaster none of them saw jail time none of them faced any criminal charges and because of this you see them able to hijack and hold hostage and terrorize nations around the world are able to continue doing this just like rupert murdoch will continue to terrorize and all sorts of people throughout britain because he's able to tap phones because he's friends with david cameron and who knows what his phone taps on david cameron's phone have on david cameron and why david cameron is that label to act against rupert murdoch so this is the same situation all these oligarchs in this neo feudal system are you. to get away with fines or the like little slaps on the wrist for doing anything wrong right well we have further proof that moody's is committing acts of fraud and terror and that the icelandic economy is bouncing back after they kicked out the bankers and where is the upgrade well that's my next headli

. >> they are going for the max. what kind of defense do you expect her lawyers to put up if this is the ask of the prosecution. >> well, i think the jury with its verdict has really repudiated the government's core of their case here. miss anthony never would have been locked up had she only been charged with lying to authorities. that just doesn't happen in a criminal justice system. so the defense would argue, what she was really incarcerated for was the murder. she's been acquitted of the murder. she should be let go. >> how do you explain she was sitting -- forget there's a lot of -- everybody has had their opinion about casey anthony, about how the media has covered this. how do you explain, though, somebody who is being put on trial, sitting in trial for over two years? >> there were concerns about whether she would show up for trial. she is someone who has now admittedly, her own defense is that i'm a liar. >> i've got to interrupt you. >> case number 20008-cf-156-06, state of florida versus casey amary anthon
