stories we covered go to you tube dot com slash our team america for now have a great night. you know how sometimes you see a story and it seems so for langley you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harvey welcome to the big picture. is it if you.

imax cocksure this is a cause or report you know zombies are everywhere in the world not only bats salt and howling flesh eating zombies in florida but the global banking system as well is replete with dead men and zombies stacy herbert tell me more max in fact i think we need to start looking at the headlines and applying that to j.p. morgan goldman sachs u.b.s. credit suisse they have to prove to us that they are not dead because i have declared them dead they are dead the keiser report has declared them dead max keiser has declared them dead so it's up to them to prove that they are alive dead man runs for india's presidency a dead man is running in india's presidential election next month to prove he is alive santos kumar saying a thirty two year old cook has spent nine years trying to prove to officials that he is alive after his high caste relatives declared him dead after he married an

untouchable well his manifesto contains only one pledge max and that is to be recognised as alive and he has no desire to be president he says all i want to do is prove i'm alive if the government cannot declare me alive then i request them to kill me and issue a real death certificate in my name right he's got a good point there you need to have some credibility some accreditation that proves that you are alive and not dead now in the case of banks. you know it started in japan right with the zombie banks now in western europe and in america similar situation the banks are dead and we want proof that they're alive by simply not having a stress test but pulling away the support system tollway the quantitative easing for days. just pulled away all the life support systems all the fake accounting all of the credit default swap and fake accounting and collateralized debt obligations

that cross you know in europe the credit facilities that are lending with each other that's like two zombies having sex you know they're trying to give birth to another zombie another court a facility you know and meanwhile our people are reacting by storing bath salts and ripping each other's flesh off in the streets in the world we have to stop to zombie apocalypse we can do so in the banking system but prove to us that you're alone when we took off the life support system there's a ripple ok max that's the question we're asking here and many people are asking that this is bloomberg news here dear mr diamond is your bank getting corporate welfare so they know that he goes before congress and declares himself i love free market don't you dare regulate me and they said well and fact if that's true why do you have so much corporate welfare in in fact that point out max in recent decades governments and central banks around the world have developed a consistent pattern of behavior when trouble strikes banks that are larger

interconnected enough to threaten the broader economy they step in to ensure that all the banks creditors not just depositors are paid in full although typically necessary to prevent permanent economic damage such bellows encourage or reckless confidence among creditors they assume the government will always make them whole so they become willing to lend at lower rates particularly to systematically and poor in banks this bloomberg points out has provided an implicit subsidy to these big banks as of two thousand and nine the expectation of government support was shaving about point eight percentage points off of large banks borrowing costs for the top eighteen banks max this it was seventy six billion dollars. per year and that number is roughly equal to the bank's total profits over the past twelve months right jimmy dunn says he loves competition or he loves free markets free markets imply competition but of course there is no competition in the american

banking sector because they all work with the government all colluding and they're all dead they're all they're all basically zombies to my ears and i propose stacy. let's put some images right up on the screen right now there's a very famous five year old girl she's an artist her works are selling for thousands of dollars give this five year old girl one hundred thousand dollars and open letter open up a bank that runs on a legitimate banking model of basically just holding on to deposits and making simple loans to compete with j.p. morgan i guarantee you that within six months her bank will be bigger than j.p. morgan because she would have an august bank and she's five years old and any five year old can open honest bank but jamie diamond is a fifty year old samantha who opens a crooked bank who's a believe with the devil and the bomb administration and he runs nothing but a share of bank you just give any competition any five year old give it give give give a gold fish baking alliances and they'll attract more deposits then this out right

criminal diamond so the top u.s. banks received an implicit subsidy of seventy six billion dollars last year j.p. morgan's share of the subsidy is fourteen billion dollars a year which is about seventy seven percent of its net income for the past four quarters so they're almost entire income comes from this one subsidy but seventy seven percent is due to this one subsidy doesn't call it all the other subsidies why are we applauding this guy jamie diamond the fact that he can walk and chew gum at the same time the fact that he is not walked is not you know tripping over shoelaces all day long so we get a standing ovation but also because we taxpayers have subsidized him to this tune we taxpayers are broke and destroyed and our economies are devastated because as i point out like all subsidies the taxpayer largest distorts supply if

the government supports corn farmers you get too much corn if the government subsidize banks you get too much credit as of march household companies. government in the u.s. had amassed debts of thirty eight point six trillion dollars or two point five times the country's g.d.p. that's up from one point three times in one nine hundred eighty right there. thing about this is that if you're not part of the banking mafia you can't get any credit and there's a recession slash depression where we live in greece you live there you can't get any credit there's a depression but the bankers are taking over your country doing a leveraged buyout of you stealing all your assets they've got an infinite line of credit at zero percent interest rates they've got no problem getting in credit using your life as their collateral for their cheap loans what kind of insight is that of course by this mis allocation of capital because of the overly cheap rates that these subsidised too big to fail banks have received the economy has collapsed

and now remember the total for eighteen just eighteen us banks the total subsidy just from the low interest rates was seventy six billion for the year u.s.d.a. budget would rise eleven percent on food stamps spending so this is from last year max the supplemental nutrition assistance program or food stamps will cost eighty five point two billion in the year starting october first two thousand and eleven up fifteen percent from levels in two thousand and ten so eighty five point two billion to feed over fifty million americans or seventy six billion to feed eighteen guys. and you know they don't want americans being solved supporting self-sustaining growing their own farms growing their own food they'd rather have them on food stamps which is a by the way a program mostly run by jay jamie dimon and j.p. morgan and they want americans begging like chihuahuas for their scraps down at the

food stamp supply but they don't want to be self-sufficient but i'm saying here that here are fifteen million human beings in america fifty million that some of them could not live if they did not receive these food stamps there are little children their one year old two year old three year old there are seventy eight year olds who who rely on these food stamps fifty million and for almost the same exact amount of money there's a subsidy provided by those taxpayers to subsidize jamie diamond and jamie diamond then gets to lord it over them saying here maybe i will give you a food stamp card maybe j.p. morgan won't this month right so the subsidies that morgan gets are roughly equivalent to the food stamp program yes and but in america turn on fox news who are they hating on who is the one that are the welfare queens you know what if those fifty million people all how bout solves that would be a really interesting zombie apocalypse imagine the fifty million bats sold zombies

made a march on j.p. morgan speculators book the employee of long this is that well just to confirm this we look at moody's remember they downgraded fifteen the top banks around the world j.p. morgan trading loss drove three level stand alone cut however according to moody's max j.p. morgan benefited from the assumption that there is a very high likelihood the u.s. government would back the banks bond holders and creditors if it defaulted on its debt according to moody's statement. without the implied federal backing j.p. morgan's long term deposit rating would have been three levels lower and its senior debt would have dropped to more steps says moody's so remember that american population when jamie diamond goes up in front of your congress your elected representatives donning the the presidential cufflinks and saying. those little

peasants well fifty million of them rely on me for food stamps. i am the cop would be a cop oh he is a welfare queen just as much as anybody relying on food stamps just as anybody relying on medicare or medicaid i love the language of the the assumption that their their balance will be backed up by the government otherwise it be downgraded more so they are using their gambino john gotti metaphor there is cufflink in jamie you know the congress. fellows that want is almost. let you not going to downgrade me more than two categories or i'm going to have to cut off all your junk in the ghettos and i'm going to have to make sure that you all can get gas to even get home today because i'm just going to come up with a couple and you know there's still the same kind of language you're wiretapping when you drop in on the mafia they're like so choky the dead fish bongo is saying

that you assume that you could only get the big rigging done in a certain period of time or he's going to come over there to soome that you know it could be living much longer i came back so we're going back to the top of the show i'm saying that here's a man who is having to try to prove he is alive because they the elite of his country have determined he is dead and they won't let him access the global financial system or his own national financial system so i want to say here's another test to see if these banks are alive burn the bondholder see if they're witches see if they're like living unnaturally burn the bondholder over one billion euros of engle bonds will be repaid irish bank resolution corporation the new name for anglo-irish well we pay more than one point one billion of debt next week as the controversial policy of paying all unsecured senior liabilities continues the bonds are mainly held by foreign investors many of whom bought the debt at steep discounts over the past two years when the original lenders feared the collapse they owned banks might renege on the ious yet why don't we why are the i paying

this dead bank why they're paying this bank well let's see burn the bondholders see if the bank collapse. says now i r b c this new fake bank that isn't even a bank it's a virtual mirage of a bank that is exists only thanks to the unwilling large us of the irish taxpayer well let's see if you burn the bondholders whether the banks still spend a lot so if you burn the bondholders that say we're not going to pay this bond over anglo-irish would they get any pushback we're saying that you're talking to a dead cadaver on the other end of the phone they're not going to push back there are good people why are you paying dead people irish government in that they're psycho they're sniffing the shamrocks over there this worse than bought salts. stacy ever thanks so much for being on the kaiser report thank you max don't go away much more coming your way stay right there.

welcome back to the consul report imax keyser time now to go to toronto and speak with economist professor steve keen who is currently in toronto working on his mathematical models with researchers at field's institute you can find all of steve keen's work at debt deflation dot com or on twitter at professor archer say prof steve keen professor steve keen welcome back to the kaiser report writer max ok steve king let's talk about european debt crisis is it mathematically possible to bail out europe all if we have by the mathematical logic of math that's not my quit my part of course always a way that would. be required while we were all right so you got to read or write

them down or you. probably guessed it once i'm so let's stop this is an insoluble problem well steve keen it seems like what they're attempting to do is to lever up a bad situation by increasing the number of lending facilities the acronyms the european lending facility one two three three one hundred and then they borrow with each other they lend to each other they create this massive ponzi scheme and they have the federal reserve as a as a model because in america they've got fifteen sixteen trillion in debt in the whole entire eurozone they've got another ten trillion euros to go before they even match america so why can't that game go on so a bit longer steve origin is because they actually behave like the american. so intro back you might actually be able to get out of this because nobody you know mcculloch on having a pretty hard time right now nobody in california is declaring bankruptcy like i have it expect to so why the heart but that's the situation there in europe because

the european central bank isn't actually the central bank is probably more like a european central disciplinary already where its role is to discipline the sites for all of the fund their expertise so because that is the central bank doesn't have the deficit's of the individual countries but have to go to the market they would of course they specialise in all rights and now your site was saying what part of this money from us and all our rights so far it's a recipe for disaster what they have to do and actually soros amounts to much the same thing today they have to wish to genuine central bank in europe which funds the activities of its own woodside various national treasury so let me follow up the other top three central banks to give you an example of how the central bank virtual reality is exploding. the u.s. fed the euro the c b that's virtual acolytes the bank of japan twenty five percent of the developing developed world g.d.p.

is now tied to this floating of fake securities so this is again this ponzi scheme is continuing steve the worst of words words words that once a bubble going to be punctured well got a puncture of the product first night which is the problem here or the state can get away with it certainly such a plan can get away with it indefinitely two decades now that's that's really real they can do it indefinitely but the running a trade surplus my printer i'm never this is a green and so on and they're except in japan and i don't run out of them as i would like to try to get away i don't believe america can do it indefinitely because running it's right to try to deficit with the rest of the will and and europe has also been on the edge they would like to continue and down the road the some substantial. time but the reality is that leaving the biggest can still have an unaccounted for that's a little private and if they actually want to get rid of it what if it was brought up with pencils private actually gets rid of it and then we might get rid of

a millstone around the necks of the public because even though we took an optical way about how they would get wise down all of this blah blah blah the reality is that it would go out of hand i would buy. private x. when that is so bright we decide we can't afford to go shopping or economy or to invest then we pull the sort of economic funk were in right now and we stay there indefinitely but it's going to focus on the really important debt and that's the private debt granted by banks that behave like on the finance she is rotten thing and finances of industrial capitalism that's honest ok well let's explain spain spanish banks have just given sixty two billion euros in exchange for their private debt so they can't predict down the road in spain and the austerity steve kean is where the rubber hits the road right i mean this is where the a sturdy is where is where people pay for this ponzi scheme right you know what they should be doing is rather quantitative easing the banks that should be getting

out of the public what they have a special tilt with which is going broke with the banks because the banks don't deserve to be baloch the banks in your receivership an old debt they generated you go down they go down the good they get hurt. weiss may rescue the public on the books that's what the central bank should be doing certainly rather than opposing hostility on the public would like my role really. a passive role being dragged along in it and i. mean actually causing the growth place and causing the imbalances the responsibility in europe what's home to the bureaucrats it is on something as stupid as a master treaty and the banks went along and financed the stupid and across like that until it fell right about. and now of course we're putting the pain on the public rotten putting it and back on the banks and the bureaucrats were longs ok bailing out the citizens versus the banks let's go and refer to your book deep

bunking economics the newly expanded version and let me ask you this question keeping here book in mind when barack obama was asked why he bailed out the banks and not the citizens back in two thousand and eight he referred to the multiplying effect of lending to banks building up banks creates a multiplier effect in the economy it sounds like me a liberal economic steve keen and you just wrote a huge book debugging that entire notion talk about it yeah it's the whole model of how that money my used aguada going just after a few in the first class because economists believe a little theory of how money is generated which the question what i used in the book from an american satirist it's an ace also bill and wrong if you're a coral obama bank a moral boy and he's honest well i just thank him and then went by white america so what do ya give the american public was better the bailout the banks because of dollars given to banks and you would really sit this generous i had with ten

dollars in additional a lot of money into the economy and they call that a multiplier fix they actually use try to explain economic coup way throughout europe about going out the banks route but i have. trouble as anybody who's signing up to swallow who i am pretty quickly worked out why that's nonsense for stop one of the said americans have borrowed the starch and product already two trillion dollars worth on it for change trillion dollar economy by able to shoot out three south groups are using up in the little bit i can on by a bomber getting insane extra truly involves the money model part big especially in a marriage with an athlete going to having sure you got it and being tricked when i use work and death rather than only three. no what it was going to were so there's room id or whatever. but also when you put the money in the banks and it just sits there because they don't want to wind up it doesn't want to borrow so the reserves

might offer no lodging gratian in markets. and this is because we're nine to fifty years pretty much. thanks to that new reserves the land banks lent money creating to others in the process and they look at the reserves light up so if you actually want it you want to generate wyman's you have to have a willing to take on debt in the first question and of course they're not willing to take it so that the trillion dollars that were bought through will pretty much to change during the charted since the whole process began would have been far better being given to the public on condition that they must pay their debts right and to to add support to what you're saying there all these scandals of the past five years have been tied to a similar type of problem having no collateral a.i.g. blew up because they had no collateral current credit a false wop is a virtual security of no collateral all of the recent j.p. morgan's two billion dollars or ten billion dollar loss an apology had to do a training securities that had no collateral they're just trading thin air now i

can't i can't totally blame barack obama because after all he gets all of his information from rating the new york times and in the new york times there's paul krugman and paul krugman is an academic who believes the multiplier effect of money even though makes absolutely no economic or academic or logical sense and he had bit of a dust up with paul recently i think basically had a bit of a debate he is continuing to be interviewed and outlets around the world as you are to steve king but how does paul krugman survive his his ideology which is clearly completely corrupt. well because he's lives and little fantasy world of people who use google light and call it theory but then there's a circle school of economics is actually one of the most radical. but they say they've got receipt of armchair notion use it and i'm sure in your imagine what world. without actually going in check and saying with your imagination actually match reality and then you go to sort of model him once he starts from this idea that winning is a bit like you know statins

a bit down on his luck the ghost which might max carson bars a million dollars and therefore max has actually to spend money drops by million six passengers and rises by i know we're not those macroeconomic there was no impact so that doesn't matter and he thinks it's because banks it before in may and max and that whole process you can ignore banks as well and you can model capitalism as if it doesn't have x. and it doesn't have money you sectors that are going to include get the gist of it get going you may run and actually back. now frankly it's i mean it's like trying to model out birds fly by pretending that happened but wait it's good luck if the market interesting theory it is going to give you no explanation of what will actually lie right well i mean krugman getting the nobel prize in economics i mean it's ludicrous it would be as ridiculous as if let's say barack obama got a peace prize from the nobel committee of course that would never happen to one of the most warmongering presidents in american history now one last question steve

keen in terms of hyman minsky modeling and of course he is inspiration for a lot of your work and he's the one to kind of outline this idea of how markets feed on themselves in these bubble machines in the in the u.s. we see that the median household wealth fell by forty percent mostly among those under fifty in the middle class what role do wealth and income gaps contribute to the ultimate minsky moment when it pops and you see the the big one well it's the contributor to old ways that those rising inequality if you and if you are that all . when you go to try to borrow money and also the banks so you that you can buy a house and a house and you want apples lost in the process that will leave you taking on more debt but in a mathematical model going up your bills and one thing whether stablish order unexpected result is that work is being is negatively related to the level of interest rights and a little bit even the workers are the ones doing the borrowing so we look at social

class to look at the bottle of the bankers capitalists and workers capital on foreign money which is what you want the big ones actually invest their borrowing money a little bit the technology. then in fact they were in constant change much less work to regard the sample it's the workers as it's so fundamentally rising wills of cools the decline in the work. so that actually rising debt causes inequality as well of course inequality losing the rising debt so it's not a positive thing by talking any engineer will show you a positive feedback cycle of marriage work right now that's the situation with now aren't all right steve keen right of time thanks so much for being on the kaiser report thank you might it wasn't going to be here all right not going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacy herbert i want thank my guest steve keen going to send me an e-mail please do so at kaiser report in r t t v dot ru until next time that's not
