11:29 am
have town go over seas scat scramble pound sand get out of our statistical sites get down beat get out of the air troika don't want to see your poor hungry face in our national accounts no mo. oh bugger because we've traded you for some ghost ships of death fraud and the collateral call has come in so generation emigration get the freaked out of here you know we don't want you no mo stacy is this true max we were in ireland over the weekend and of course we did see the representatives of the go ship of death fraud represented by the troika congratulating ireland for cutting unemployment low and behold though you look down below and you see that the young unemployed have been receiving letters from the government suggesting we move overseas he says get at it down well there's statistics and then there's economics and unfortunately the troika because they're guided by academic theory and technocrats on the inside they look at statistics but
11:30 am
they don't look at the actual economy on the ground if they can't see the forest for the trees they look only at their little screens and they look at their pie charts and they look at their algorithmic trading mechanisms but they don't actually look outside the window and see that people are suffering and that they could benefit from some real economics which would put some premium on a youth that was having an active participation in the economy generated organic growth they don't see that because they're cyborgs because they're half machine because they're built in a petri dish somewhere they're not even a new man and they're trying to advise people out of conducting economy is disgusting well it's also the first example you see here of this belief that we don't need human is we don't need real capital we don't need real wealth we just need to go bots and financial derivatives and that will be that's our economy we don't need the human beings we're not leaving assembly to be held and dublin so the
11:31 am
young people's assembly met in dublin and advocating on behalf of young people to formulate an action plan to combat youth unemployment force them and gratian a cost to youth services which amount of diction notices. for a generation so here's one of their posters by the way max this is the world they've created for us don't let them get away with it as you see they left the get out so i think they need a better education system there to the kids. who didn't spill our. poor kids they bring up a good point with us on the show before as an increasingly more people are not needed to make the economy go because you just print money you just print money at the e.c.b. according to some just go formula and you get some growth but the actual new quammen for people working is diminishing again just like saudi arabia they don't need workers they just need to pump oil few specialists inside and the wealth and income gap is just enormous so you have a totally disenfranchised youth population that's increasingly becoming agitated
11:32 am
and this is happening in europe now and in the u.k. and around the world for the same reason don't work we just print money go to hell this is what the youth told them there that they will not be evicted from their own country and you know this brings up the comics festival where you spoke and you had this bizarre situation of these academics and actual central bankers people who were economists for the central bank of ireland the same guy also worked for the u.s. federal reserve and he's now a monetary advisor to the european parliament and there was a big bit of a showdown you might say here's a headline max what's the difference between a comedian and an economist koch anomic says sometimes like a financial pancho whenever the gleefully villainess us pundit max kaiser takes the stage i get an urge to shout he's behind you so apparently you had a bit of a showdown with karl whalen an economist for the central banks around the world who was saying that basically a lot of these economists were suggesting that the problem with ireland is they
11:33 am
need to expand credit credit so cheap right now why don't they just expand and there are common we will recover day every single problem to them requires an expansion of debt and because. they're in the business of helping banks create debt so yeah we had a big showdown at kilburn omics i was on the panel with how again who was brilliant writer at the telegraph on the sunday i was reading it papers columns every week and then suddenly we looked across the column the the diaster gather and we found it communicated like let's take these suckers down so it became a bloodbath and the academics were like on the ground tending i've got plucky the rubber chicken made of parents and even he had more to say credible then the professional economists the pal you're discussing you were talking about statistics being pulled out of the bottom of central bankers and these guys including karl whalen was suggesting that they would never lie they're professionals they wouldn't lie about statistics c.p.i. is c.p.i.
11:34 am
inflation is inflation we wouldn't lie about the problems of jumping in france like it was a problem with the damage like a car away on a technocrat is that they keep these cars in silos they give a little piece of the puzzle to work on to justify that little piece of the puzzle they never see the big picture so so it is like a professional money manager or somebody who's a in the journalism you see the bigger picture and you see the results of having little siloed men little men in their silos doing little jobs coming up a little algorithmic formulas and all that up was the banality of evil is it human down to it's kind of a financial tell terry ism generated by little men with their little calculators in silos with no light from the sun well exactly somebody at the troika was focusing on unemployment numbers in ireland and the number looks better and better not counting the fact that all the youth the future possible wealth creators for ireland have fled the country sometimes at the behest of their own government so
11:35 am
this article here about the calc anomic festival points out humility soon evaporates as everyone vice to demonstrate how wrong other economists are you see the professor karl whalen and dirigible kosky tried discussing the nuances of economic forecasting. as a response by taking a rubber chicken out of a bag this is not a metaphor he takes an actual rubber chicken out of a bag hey i'm a government official my name is plucky do what i say he says in a high pitched rubber chicken voice well robert chicken voice max oh i'm not going to speak for plucky. but plucky is a better economist than just about anyone out that first of all but it makes an important point and that these economists will typically come on to an irish stage and tell people that have been abused by debt that debt doesn't matter this is like jim jones saying drink the kool aid don't don't look at the line the cyanide because you're going to a better place valhalla were death doesn't matter it's all hell bought comit just drink. and will go to a better place they're cool to their death cultists they're dangerous now and
11:36 am
of course they do mention as you're saying here you have the world of the academics and then you here you have the real world with a younger being told to get the hell out of our country and they say that audience member shouts support for kaiser and lambast poor wail and answer the question you're wrong they yell because of course they see the real world beyond that statistics in the academic setting just expend credit it's that simple to fix the situation when plucky used to look like karl whalen but after years and years of being wrong you now looks like plucky you see it i'm saying like there's dozens if you can just go throughout your entire life by saying bromides and anna done statements referring to nothing in the hopes of concocted mading something without first understanding that you cannot create truth from that which is pulled from one thing. otherwise you end up like plucky plucky learned his lesson.
11:37 am
well now i want to go back to a headline this is from one thousand nine hundred sixty four and this is the a.p. business he said at first somebody linked to it on zero had and i thought it was just like an onion piece of one thousand nine hundred sixty. but it appears to be true because there was really a business analyst at the a.p. called sam dawson high cost of living not inflation say economists the cost of living continues to rise they were noting but the government economists assure us that this is not inflation this can be confusing to americans who look upon inflation in terms of consumer prices with the cost of goods and services go up they call it inflation or put it the other way around when the dollar buys less the last year to them that's inflation government economists are saying with considerable evidence to back them up that times are different now and so are the terms to describe conditions good call because over the past decades and really after the cold post-war period. economists writing in mainstream media outlets try
11:38 am
to convince the public that what they see is not true don't believe your eyes listen to what we have to say on the pages of these editorials describing what the truth is even though people in their gut and in their heart know that they're being alive to the difference today is you've got other media outlets you've got other social media outlets that are confirming what people know in their hearts they're being flipped up the shrink shrink hard and they want recourse they want answers importantly these were government economists they were working for the government and why they were saying that debt is now a really good thing and sometimes it is but here they're saying in the specific situation they're saying all of this also is tied into the new thinking on federal financing the federal debt will rise and the annual interest on it but the general prosperity makes up for it and we're this is what we heard all around the world alan greenspan said it the politicians and bankers here the same thing in
11:39 am
ireland the celtic tiger remember it was like sure our debt is growing astronomically but so are our house prices so we're all getting wealthier everything's going to be fine goes back to what we've been talking about. on this show which is the interest rate apartheid where you've got one side of the apartheid wall able to speak glowingly of the benefits of having asset price bubbles due to cheap rates that only they can qualify for many people on the other side of the apartheid wall or living in a slum in a ghetto in the mud because rates for them are sixteen twenty twenty five percent or in the case of payday loan or five thousand percent so for them of course it looks great but they refused to take in to the big picture so once again every decade remember after world war two america debt to g.d.p. was enormously high but they had set the stage for world domination because all their competitors were annihilated and they transform from a war economy to
11:40 am
a manufacturing economy today america's debt is higher than it was after world war two except what they've done is they've decimated their old economy and enfranchise the rest of the world is to reverse the world war two and the americans decide to say we don't like the idea of winning a war let's lose a world war and that's where they are today enormous debt no manufacturing capacity and they've emboldened their competitors and now they're ready to lose what's now the currency war world war three it's pluckiest world we just live in it well max porkies with peter schiff right outside waiting to come in i figured all right stay tuned for the second half a whole lot more. speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic in school
11:41 am
here almost reporting from the world talks to see your piece interviews intriguing stories for you. arabic for him down. visits are a big old poteat dog color. is obviously more for the latest because it's pink. women wanted to avoid rape they really needed to buy guns environ how to use them i'm. sure this is the one that i want to go with them once again it's the fear factor all women are definitely a target of the gun lobby and one need only kill them when the killing might even if so many would be with this with her. eyes noticing more and more and that's really scary marketing tactics which implies that women have some sort of moral obligation to guns to protect their family and young girls shoot out here too so we do have a pink or. more kids young kids choke on food than are killed by firearms if
11:42 am
being armed made us safer in america we should be the safest nation on earth were clearly not the safest. the olympic torch is on its epic journey to such a. one hundred twenty three days. through two hundred two cities of russia. relayed by georgine those people who are sixty plus those who kill him. in a record setting trip by land air sea and others face. olympic torch relay. on r t r c dot com.
11:43 am
welcome back to the cash report imax keyser time now to turn to other investment advisor radio show host and you tube superstar peter sift peter schiff welcome to the kaiser report thanks for having me on macs all right fantastic so peter schiff of the many right calls you've made very publicly one of the recent ones was this idea that the fed would not taper the idea that the fed was thinking about cutting back on their monthly quantitative easing from eighty five billion a month but in fact they did not taper and so tell us about what's going on there while they they ever intended to taper i think they were waiting for the right kind of come up with excuses as to why they weren't going to do it but they still have to maintain the false pretense that they're going to do it because what they can't tell the markets is the honest truth which is that we don't have a genuine recovery it's phony it's one hundred percent dependent on quantitative easing and if they remove those monetary supports even just a little bit the whole economy will implode right and this is in fact the setting
11:44 am
for prosperity janet yellen is coming in to replace ben bernanke and i believe you and others think that they could expand that program from eighty five billion dollars a month well they will expand that in fact when the fed first started talking about tapering i said no the next move is going to be to increase not diminish q.e. that task is going to be left to janet yellen she is going to come up with some reason maybe she'll say inflation isn't high enough we need more inflation the job picture is still too bleak but the problem is we're not going to grow the economy we're not going to create jobs by creating inflation by debasing our money it might make the stock market go up it might make the real estate market go up and so we can delude ourselves into thinking that we actually are growing the economy but we're just growing the bubbles and growing the debt and because the economy will never recover because the fed won't let it restructure. then the unemployment picture is going to continue to get worse which means we're going to get more and
11:45 am
more q.e. and they're going to keep on increasing the dose until we overdose because we have a currency crisis and then it's over the structure of this it looks like a ponzi scheme in a lot of ways in other words it is ok in the pond this game is that they've got a lot of banks a lot of bad debts they're not mark to market these debts the market theory or mark to what they say that these bonds or earth but they if you try to some on the open market they would get a lot less than what they say they're worth so this is like a huge ponzi scheme but the u.s. is not the only one involved in this ponzi scheme because there to make a bank of england the new governor mark carney is speaking from the same playbook he's saying you know we've got to basically keep rates low they're artificially low he wants to take bank debts which are four hundred percent of g.d.p. he's publicly said he wants to take them to nine hundred percent of g.d.p. and take lower rates the e.c.b. the airplane central bank has cut their rate from a half percent to a quarter percent so this is the same story around the world it is a ponzi scheme built out of ponzi scheme new think about ponzi schemes as they have
11:46 am
to keep on growing and if they don't grow they implode because you keep you need bigger supply of new investors to cash out the old investors i mean look at the u.s. treasury bond market we have a seventeen trillion dollar national debt although you know that's just the tip of the iceberg we actually have one hundred trillion plus in total debt seventeen trillion is just where there are treasury bonds outstanding but the u.s. government has lots of obligations beyond the treasury debt but if you just focus on that where does the u.s. government get the money to retire all the maturing bonds every year trillions of dollars worth of treasuries make sure the government doesn't have that money it relies on new buyers to cash out the old buyers and in many cases it's the same holders the people that hold the debt just roll it over so we never have to pay it back but nobody wants to acknowledge the simple truth. repayment is impossible all we can do is borrow more money to pay off the maturing debt but then the debt stack
11:47 am
keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger because of the compound interest and because the government borrows more money every single year right you mentioned a moment ago about reform there do the delaying deformed and not reforming reform can take two basic avenues here there's going to be either government reform a form of government some way or a form of banks talk a little bit about this idea because some i think are curious about the split because there's one camp that says just go after the banks and there's another camp i think you would be in that camp saying go after the government well part of the government is money and we need monetary reform and when we have monetary reform then we'll take care of the meaningless monetary reform well meaning that money has to be real it has to be legitimate and savings have to come into existence based on under consumption right now we're we're the investment is financed is from central bank printing money but that's not legitimate what you need is to have resources
11:48 am
that are not consumed that are saved better then available to finance legitimate capital investment so you two ideas let's say the banks think government they have recourse is a look going along those lines a they could go to a sound money policies they could go saying you know we're going to go back we're going to incorporate gold maybe not a pure gold standard but a partial gold standard with some reference to gold some reference to hard money or b. we're going to take the tools we have a tool box now in over at the fed and the months our policies are going to raise rates we're going to start raising rates to give some value to the dollar so those would be the two avenues right that would that the government would pursue that you would look at as being bringing some restoring some balance to the to the system correct yes and we sure any of it would be an improvement to the pure fi out system we have now so if we can't go back to a pure nineteenth century style gold standard just going back to something that imposes monetary discipline. so you just can't create money out of thin air so you have a real rate of interest and then what that will do is
11:49 am
a lot of the banks will fail under that scenario because they need this cheap money to prop them up the whole financial sector will shrink but what that will do is it will under leash an industrial sector because we're starving main street for capital while we're propping up wall street and so if we have legitimate savings and legitimate underconsumption and you know you have a realistic market price for money then we're going to have the type of capital investment that actually produces more consumer goods and creates jobs ok what about this what about banks who are constantly caught the big banks we know the names they're counseling caught engaged in malfeasance accounting fraud misselling what if instead of just going after civil fines we started applying penalties rail going after them in criminal penalties if bankers are prosecuted instead of just saying well the government's allowing them to game the system they're giving them a lot of cheap money and they government doesn't prosecute them so we can't they're
11:50 am
blameless because again i don't think the government wants to discourage this activity they just want their cut that's all they want to keep it all going so they want to slap them on the wrist when you look at some of the fines that these banks are paying yes they're big but in comparison to all the profits that they made gaming the system is very small so they just they just have to cut in the government on what they're able to steal this is based on monetary policy is the business model there yes yeah they know they're only going to be fined of the dollar for every time they steal yeah so why not do it now you're in the investment business i mean euro pacific capital very successful business in the united states and these are colleagues you know build it up my colleagues there they are colleagues won by the you know the action now but i mean that they have their pick they're giving the industry a bad name a little bit dutch and fail as though they're that the big guys on wall street j.p. morgan is a goldman sachs and they kind of tainting the business to a lot of absolutely you know if they do they make it. more difficult for smaller firms like mine because the f.c.c.
11:51 am
and finra they crack down hard on the little firms to show that there are tough cops on the beat you know meanwhile the real criminals get away with you know everything and and all of that regulatory you know might comes crashing down on these smaller firms and you know they're failing left and right and of course that's music to the ears of these gigantic too big to fail firms because they get to pick up the pieces every time the regulators crush whatever smaller competitors they're there to absorb you know whatever assets they had or hire some of their their employees or they just get bigger and bigger and bigger ok here's another idea folks say that all of quantitative easing is not trickling down to inflation and price inflation now there's two answers to this one is that there actually is price inflation as you've done a brilliant video on you tube you can look it up it shows that if you actually look at the prices of stuff really at the cash register not how the government reports that inflation in the u.s. is running at nine percent not the two and a quarter or three percent that stated and the other the other idea i want to bring up is and you any touched on this before about employment because employment and
11:52 am
wages are not going up there's no inflation there isn't there in inflation in fraud in other words they're printing all this money while simultaneously gaming the system and figuring out ways to channel the money that goes from the banks to the commercial banks and then it goes right into asset rises and it bypasses the general economy the real economy there's an inflation of fraud is not a way to look at it in some way you know you could call it you know the number trickle down economics this is trickle down monetary policy right if you just print enough money and handed out to the banks somehow it's going to trickle down and it's going to benefit everybody else it just rains inflation on everybody else to be sure quantitative easing can jack up the stock market but for average americans that are just earning a wage all it does is make those wages less valuable it destroys their savings the cost of living goes up they pay more for food there till. bills go up and you know the government doesn't acknowledge how much inflation is there it doesn't
11:53 am
acknowledge the effect on prices because of the way the c.p.i. was engineered not to show it and then the government comes out and says oh look inflation is so low here's the c.p.i. that's the problem it's not low enough we need more inflation as if the problem in america is that the cost of living is not going up fast enough that the way to solve our economic problems is to make our money less valuable so that people who have money have to spend more of it to survive how is that an economic policy you know i was i'd see a v.c. europe a couple days ago and one of the announcer said that he thought that inflation not being high enough was going to put stress on the consumer i mean stress is relief if prices went down that would relieve the consumer what stresses them out as when the prices are going up and you're right what are the prices that aren't going up is the price of labor their wages because the economy is so screwed up because of all this quantitative easing because we don't have a legitimate savings and investments we can't have real increase in productivity
11:54 am
people are losing productive good paying jobs they're being replaced by part time temp jobs and hospitality and leisure and restaurants and they can barely survive and the government says oh wages are low therefore we can keep printing money and all that does is add to the burden of the employed and unemployed because everything they need gets more expensive and the other reason that we can't see how bad it is is because we've managed to convince the rest of the world to import a lot of our inflation we export our money and they send us goods and so prices are kept in check here but inflation is getting worse all around the world when the world decides to stop importing our inflation and they let the dollar go down that's when it's really going to come back and bite us that with the inflation going to be so enormous that there's going to be no way the government can pretend it doesn't want to touch on that we have about twenty seconds but unlike the. seventies when wage inflation went up they had wages go up they started
11:55 am
inflationary spiral as it was understood since that time china entered through the world trade organization and cheap labor got exported china they also became the world's biggest creditor nation they got a whole you know three to four trillion in reserves when the balance is tipped and that that money they decide you know what we have is it's in our risk reward profile is we're going to put that money back into the economy velocity suddenly picks up where it was absent and then you had that sudden surge in inflation that's been basically nessun dorma hidden for a few years and that's you know gold goes to four thousand prices or doubling or tripling and then people like paul krugman all say well we never saw it coming it's a once in a hundred year flood in full ahman on and never see it coming and you know the crazy thing is that the problem is bigger now than the housing bubble yet the same people who are oblivious to the last problem are equally oblivious to this one even though in many ways it's even simpler to understand but they have you know that they have to build a wall around themselves cognitive dissidence to not see the reality and yet when
11:56 am
it does happen you know who knows what they're going to say they're probably going to tell peter schiff oh he's a stopped clock he's been saying his for years you know so the fact that it finally happened doesn't mean it was right just another tutorship was right video another one of these classics all right we're out of time peter schiff thanks so much for being on the kaiser report a thanks back writing that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacey herbert i'd like to thank our guests peter schiff if you like to get in touch tweet us at kaiser report until next time magazine bio. dramas that can't be ignored. stories or the risk refused to notice. phyllis's changing the world.
