a firm which they say humiliates them as a key backer of the gang. up next it's the capital with a large enlist. good afternoon and welcome to capital account i'm lauren lyster here in washington d.c. and we are on vacation you see we've been broadcasting since october so that means we're a little overdue for a break but in that time and in just the last few months we've interviewed so many amazing guests from jim grant to mark father to jim rickards even joining me as a co-host and we've covered so many topics that are relevant on any given day whether it's the fed or the eurozone crisis so we put together some of our very best and most popular episodes from the last few months for your viewing pleasure and the time while we're off and you can look forward to own new shows starting
1:32 pm
september fourth so mark your calendar and don't forget interviews can all be found in their entirety on our you tube channel you tube dot com slash capital account but for now let's get to today's capital account. all right so according to italian prime minister mario monti we have now a week to save the euro zone that came out in the headlines he said that to a group of european newspaper reporters this is ahead of the e.u. summit planned next week so is this a threat a warning it's hard to tell because it's become a bit of a boy who cried wolf refrain take a look at this last november there were ten days to save the euro we don't have
1:33 pm
those headlines but we got a bunch of them together ok in november there were ten days to save the euro or see it disintegrate in december of last year d s k domenic strauss kahn said there were three weeks left at one point in may there were only forty eight hours to save the euro according to one newspaper but i guess then george soros bought us a little time because early june remember he said we are just a few weeks into a three month deadline so when and how does the euro either persist or implode exactly well let's talk to gerald celente who specializes in telling it like it is he's founder of trends research institute publisher of the trends journal and he joins us on capital account and it is so great to see you you're the perfect person to talk to want to friday to round the week out thanks for being on the show gerald oh it's always a pleasure being on with you you have one of the greatest business shows on t.v. the oh you're so sweet thank you well you're one of the best guest to have on
1:34 pm
a business show on t.v. so i'm dying to know i just went over some headlines over the last year where people officials newspapers commentators have said there is a week to save the euro there is ten days to save the euro there is three months and to be fair we're still in the middle of george soros is three months prediction so i can't dock i'm there yet because who knows how it's going to turn out but the question to you gerald is is cut through the noise is the euro doomed to implode or is this salvageable or will we just keep see europe muddling along the way it has been. well it's a bigger issue than that it's not the euro and when you mention monti say what he said today or yesterday let's remember who this is this is three card monte so that's about as good as his word it's not the euro it's the whole banking system and the banking system is collapsing worldwide and so the euro is just the part of it will the euros stay together if it's if the there is there is no telling what
1:35 pm
they may pull out but let's understand the g twenty just was going to have this grand meeting just got back from mexico and all these brilliant leaders were going to put their minds together and come up with a solution and they don't have any answers and the reason they don't have any answers is there's no solving it so what did they do well you saw yesterday the federal reserve went back into operation twist and then read today's headline central banks east credit as european leaders meet this step friday just as european leaders in rome are preparing to seek agreement on ways to pull europe out of its crippling debt crisis gives banks more possibility to get ready cash and let's put that in layman's language it gives the banks the right to rate jump that they have and all this garbage that's weighing them down as credit worthy all they
1:36 pm
going to continue to do is try to keep pumping money into the system to keep it going it's as simple as that there is no way out is are they going to come up with a your robe on where they're going to put all the bonds into one package so that these rates don't keep skyrocketing doubtful what they're going to come up with something that's why they always stall it how long will it last it's a guess totally and these programs to turn trash to cash we've seen and it does seem that they're just getting ever more. are creative and ever willing to break whatever rules are on the books in order to institute them so bigger picture but beyond the banks one trend that that it seems that we see and there were a lot of quips to this effect going into the germany and greece soccer game this afternoon it's this sense that germany is calling the shots and taking control and in control in a way that it hasn't been said.
