"Max is an electric mix of flair and perspicuity. I first worked with him at Al Jazeera, and undoubtedly he provided some of the most thought-provoking broadcast content in a truly original way. Even the American-wary UK audience has 'got' the Max factor judging by audience reaction to his broadcasts. Shy and retiring, he isn't. In your face, but worth it, he is. Behind all the fun there is a deep-seated knowledge and experience which more than justifies the irreverence." - Paul Gibbs, Director of Programmes, BBC World

'Max Keiser is like the gold standard of in the face telling the truth boldness' - Alex Jones

"Max Keiser is “a talented international troublemaker” and ‘Death of the Dollar‘ is a “a rollicking analysis of gold and the dollar” so “you may want to watch the program two or three times out of amazement.

"Karma Banque, the brainchild of green activist, Max Keiser  . . ."  - Private Eye, January 20, 2006

"If you don't do anything else this month, you need to go watch this special on how rigged the so-called "free" markets are.  It is clear, concise, amusing in a wry, quirky way...and terribly sad, as it shows that it is simple to explain all this in a comprehensible manner, and yet it isn't by the supposedly fair US media. Commentator Max Keiser does a remarkable job  . . . " - Bob O'Brien, Sanity Check
