isn't this famous wall street right down here when during the great depression those thousands of people outside the stock exchange when the whole thing they swooped down to the wall street area wondering what is going on with the crash yes they were waiting for the likes of j.p. morgan to rescue stock prices once again but stocks post worst start to april since the great depression april is the cruelest month rumor t.s. eliot's diddy yes wow and then a troll trumped up and tarted up on broadway with the fricken cats musical that i've seen twenty times because clients forced me to look at this nano no a way so stocks post worst start to april since the great depression with the s. and p. five hundred closing down more than two point two percent last monday the broad market index clinched its worst start to april since one thousand twenty nine based on recent market action the bears clearly have control right now bespoke co-founder justin walters wrote the s. and p.

five hundred fell back into correction monday's tech lead the market lower with names like amazon and netflix both down more than five percent of course it's been quite wild up and down since then people don't know whether or not to buy the dips or not buy that but. you know our friend mark hughes goes also saying that it looks like the smart money has been selling to the dumb money over and over at each opening over the last few weeks there is back quite possibly the background of rising interest rates and trade wars and heated up rhetoric and political kind of posturing with atomic weapon armed foes as got folks nervous remember you know the tech sector that's leading this rally we've seen for the past five or six years requires a logistics on a global basis to work in perfect sync so there's going to be a fallout. if some countries are going to go to war with each other we're going to

trade wars which can be cyber wars that means that platforms that require precision and sinking fall out and drop out and crashing in different areas and so their revenues have got to suffer as a result plus we've each reached the end of the line is asian and kind of deification of platforms like facebook you know who came into the business of connecting people but it turns out that they're just connecting violence well a lot of things are going on you mentioned the trade wars and there's tit for tat sort of tariffs being applied between the u.s. and china you also have donald trump tweeting over and over attacks on jeff bezos and amazon and washington post and that is going to go after amazon then you have him declaring that he's going to send the u.s. military to the border with mexico and then you also have polls that show his favor ability ratings are now at fifty percent which are higher than what obama was at this point so the markets you know correlation doesn't necessarily equal causality

but donald trump was making that argument while stock markets were rising at the fastest pace since post great depression in his first year in office and now that they're starting to tumble perhaps he's might say correlation doesn't necessarily equal causation very interesting about this really rivalry between donald trump and jeff bezos of amazon who i believe now is the richest guy in the world and of course he does own the washington post and donald trump has a thing about fake news coming from the likes of the new york times and washington post and he says it's fake news i said that's what he says about the news coming out of these outlets being fake news and so we've got now the president the united states you know at odds with the richest guy in america richest guy in the world with the biggest e-commerce and commerce platform in the world i mean his point about the post office is well taken amazon uses the u.s. post office. and the u.s.

post office the u.s. taxpayer is subsidizing amazon's profits in an unhealthy way that's got it and i don't think makes any sense for the u.s. post office the american taxpayer just subsidize the delivery cost for. and their shareholders that's absolutely wrong i think he wants trump on that well the u.s.p.s. is owned by the taxpayer and subsidized by the taxpayer and they have a natural monopoly on the last mile for mail delivery so amazon has a special deal which is by the way secret nobody knows what it is a special deal that they lose money on every package so it's not a deal that we do it needs to be revisited when we don't know because we were not allowed to see the contract but the fact is that if if somebody has a fifty pound bag of dog food delivered it costs the same as if you have a like a little tube of lipstick delivered but i was talking about correlation doesn't equal causation and i want to show you like a little chart. on this because i tweeted correlation doesn't necessarily equal causality but max kaiser did leave new york city in one nine hundred ninety just

saying i bring this up because there was a chart london versus new york murders it is the murder rate in new york declined precipitously from one nine hundred ninety right when you left i'm not saying that you're a murderer trying to suggest that you could have been the cause of the high murder rate in new york back in one nine hundred ninety but it did drop off once you left and you're also saying that while i was living in london the murder rate went up. so maybe you just drive people crazy and this is what is happening or you know actually this was in the response of a story that london murder rate did climb higher than new york for the first time in modern history due to all the stabbings that's worse than limerick which of course is known as stab city that's what some people in ireland told you when we went there that's what they call it they said it's a limerick was all about cute little upper cons and just you know limerick little poetry and everyone was like carrying around a you know a nice. guinness and singing songs to the blarney stone but it turns out it's

frickin stamp city so there's another correlation causality story and we have been claiming without any evidence for the last few years here in kaiser real evidence sometimes i was and i was you know a peer right away so we have been claiming without any evidence for the last few years right here in ca is a report that the new york fed does leak information to the big banks that they are supposed to regulate even though they're made up by executives from these big banks like the likes of jamie dimon for example so they why are these big banks so much more and why do they have an equity premium over smaller banks well it turns out weak effed new study uses taxi ride data to show increase on blackout lifted and around f o m c meetings this is a case of good data leaks showing fed leaks and this is new study out of the

university of chicago but it's following up on a twenty sixteen study from select morris and visiting the targets and twenty sixteen they presented evidence that the equity premium of large banks has largely been earned in the weeks of federal reserve monetary policy meetings and drawing on a corpus of anecdotes hypothesize that unofficial federal reserve communication around these meeting times is responsible here this guy collected data from yellow taxis here in new york city and gather that information and found out that yes there was an increase especially from midnight until four in the morning so they're like meeting at like two in the morning down at the fed taxi rides from like midtown where a lot of these big banks are down to the new york fed right well i would take exception with your characterization that we've made these claims without evidence because i new york fed is the place i over look for my office of pain. never and

a place where i lived next to and i was living downtown unfold street is a place where the bankers go at lunch to harry's in hanover square on wall street where i worked for many years and anecdotally my evidence suggests that my conversations inside information was being passed from the new york fed to bankers uptown that's what i said and now this data point proves it based on the taxi rides that congregate at the new york fed at these odd hours the day before information is released and i mean affect on banks it's inside information without inside information the banks would have to declare insolvency because they don't know how to run a basic business jamie diamond could run a lemonade stand jamie diamond couldn't be a shoeshine boy if he was required to because he's financially illiterate he only knows how to do is take inside information steal information nickel and dime people to death and to have outsized profits based on a serial criminality that's it other than that is worthless yet there's no way to prove what they spoke about but the data does show that there is definitely an increase in visits and lunches and unofficial lunches and meetings between the new

york fed and these banks who tend to then have greater return on their capital than smaller banks regional banks and investors that don't get access to the fed here's one chart that shows around the dot frank act and this is the date dodd frank pass so you see there's a statistical anomaly that anybody could see just looking at it and again correlation doesn't necessarily equal causality why these big banks have continued to get bigger and bigger but we do know that the federal reserve the treasury and the u.s. department of justice have told us that they do stay awake at night worrying about these big banks worried about jamie dimon worried about lloyd blankfein worried about all these bankers and whether or not they'll get their christmas bonuses and whether or not they might have to incarcerate them should they be found to be guilty of all the crimes that we suggest they might that there might be a law. and evidence for eric holder said that the banks could be prosecuted because

they were systemically important to the system it's like that old what yellin joke where he said doctor my brother thinks he's a chicken and the doctor says take these pills and he says no no we need the eggs so in other words the system runs on fraud with take away the fraud in american economy what a collapse jamie diamond is a serial financial murder that we need to keep banks solvent without him and inside information member to me geithner was down there the new york fed during the whole financial crisis just spilling out inside information lloyd blankfein of course got all that inside information that they would be bailed out before anyone else got that information that they would be bailed out they went ahead and bought their own stock which used to be illegal. it was hank paulson did apparently allegedly allegedly allegedly is allegedly were in a group of goldman sachs bankers i think it was an moscow actually they were on and some sort of junk and he told them that they would be bailing out fannie mae freddie but that came out in testimony in front of congress that's it so facto you

know you know you can draw a conclusion based on facts in pure beloveds the thing about me in the murder rate in new york and london that's anecdotal that's your using data to paint that's propaganda i've got nothing to do with all that stuff and don't look at don't listen to stacey about i'm innocent i'm innocent well we have to take a break and when we come back more good stuff. it's the cradle of. those do suggest. to you climatic turns to fees alligators on the lose them. or used by the least twelve

members of my friends to close most. of street racing in the peace of the night this new orleans. is the best place in the world. we try to deconstruct all these manipulated by cuts series showing the world that islam is a religion and it's a peaceful religion and it's possible to be a practicing muslims who believe that the koran is the word of god and at the same time and member of secular societies it is possible. pranking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars

a year truck so i chose to drive trucks people who rush to a small town in north dakota was among the employment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and of a station a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and slowdowns for much the last jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and that's a tough reality to deal. welcome back to the kaiser part imax guys are time now to turn. your training in american valentino lisicki. the justin bieber of classical pianist so welcome valentino delighted to be here so the reason we refer to you in this manner is

because you are the most veered classical pianist on live on you tube one hundred seventy million views and counting you're a phenomenon you're a sensation you're a classical pianist how did this happen it happened by accident i think because i was like so many likes i wasn't so if music classical musicians and i were greedy for music schools would have no idea how to find our own audience and i was my videos first read your song you tube and two songs and said i won when there were no classical videos there but i also i had no concept so i was sitting at home with a little baby and i didn't know was there i should go do some like supermarkets were up. to something was my life something useful for society and i put those videos on and somehow it was a cool with no viral soon before it was a good time with no water to loose but it gets you start to question our people start to trade in it and before

a blink of my eye it became kind of in those the most famous unknown pianists because people asked where you are playing you are clean you know and. i said no i don't care when your concerts and my sure thing breaks through after you tube was actually on the station for a long for a cool just couple of years later and almost little when why do you not because how you play but you want to see how you put your ship that inflates into people buying tickets and it was total success you know people when you people came out of course and over five thousand people capacity it was broadcast on you tube. we were old white so it was like the most in concept in classical music point and people you know people for the first time see saw me walking chrome as a blue screen of computer on station scene to play in life so that was what is special so when we need people to forward to me it was in the wind it was not just in those that concert in seems that time know i'm going and what do. you do

provided a breakthrough mechanism for a you you are many piano players in the world and trained in ukraine is were you saying you know if you are willing when you are in three three years old so you are in kiev and you are and in kiev in ukraine of course education there is you are going to be playing chess at one point right you are going to be a chess player and a piano player and then you decided to go first of all i want to point something out now i've seen your videos on you tube and you know i comment on your fingers they look very long and now in person of course there are quite ordinary looking except for the fact that as you say you have arnold schwarzenegger a lot of muscle muffle ca in your fingers so yes i don't often get a shot of this but this is like arnold arnold's bicep is seen as. i don't even know what muscle that is that is that the muscle those exist in most people

there is no muscle there but you have to hear true right so you know you attack that piano and you are like you get the feeling you could just lift it up and play it on that like behind your back like prince or something i could break some street and if i want to play a brace of strength all right so you were to get back to the conversation or so you were possibly going to go to travis you were possibly piano and so and then you kind of went in to classical music yeah it was just wasn't just who were in the way because in the us is a spectator sport used to be a new society you crave the rush of what there were and people watched it on. i wanted to play chess it was very interesting because it was when you were in my street for a black and white you know you beauty you were up when it was your brain so it's a game as a way to violence but it's brain while and in russia they have a sport called chess boxing where people play a round of chess and then they do a boxing round of boxing then they go and play chess serious yes so it's a. combination of brains and brawn i think i will think of by islam when people who

i want. when i'm it sounds great what i'm going to share she said but it sounds exciting so your music it breaks through from this cluster of pianists and so your talent a question is did did you make you tube or to you tube make you in other words your talent was there the platform came around and you burst forth and now you've created this huge following with their music and but now you too of course this is two thousand and seven now we're here we aren't two thousand and eighteen and the world's become very political and you tube has been very political and you tube is in the business of platforming people and the monetizing people and you yourself have run into really a political firestorm so tell us a little bit about that oh first of all you know was you tube with classical music at least it's not yet that in that we own you to promote it's way more

straightforward to play classical pieces you don't need to exert its fight but i wouldn't you see even in classical music just like in order to know you think me i'm you know i'm a celebrity and you know people constantly comment on you know clueless celebrities who take some would our own people more can believe it's fine you know yes i don't understand when you since was classical music i do know my skills i do know what they do but even forty something you tube before much more. than just recently by voting nice young i mean it can compose them. and you know i play music set in new york to start a new political school millenium suite and then the music industry is there are some people who come up with kind of interview scenes or actually because you know his last name mostly by some kind of put away that was russian rush limbaugh. i don't even know what that elation chip bugsy accuse this composites of beauty guilt

by association and they accuse him of being you know with a strong clique and when they believe they also say is that i support you know this trump. trump i shrug yes yes but you know you go into arts you go into composed of course you know no political correctness if we're quite political correctness to all the arts course before we have to get it off when you classical star fiesta you know when you've got all star support if you care when their lives are so and we still listen to their music we listen to carry on who was in this as some go larger what wilder yes. no no no yes and some of us were some classical composers you don't want to meet some with people personally when you did their level of so long you're a musician so now the political climate changes you're ukrainian and ukraine is very much on the front line of a massive political confrontation between east and west i think it's fair to say

and you know you make comments that are merely politicized in a way. that is enormous and i want to make a point here so because you tube is there any of direct access to your audience is very different and you know i did a little research or so going back in history there was a woman named ray levs who is a brilliant pianist you played many con concerts at carnegie hall sold out performances brilliant pianist she signed a petition on one of many against a war especially as i war petition she was immediately ostracize. blacklisted her career when it was during the mccarthy period you have a party you know the american inquisition which was de bunked thank goodness some point but were you i've been similarly painted with the brush of politicization for making such obvious and innocent statements about your

country of your birth ukraine but unlike the experience of re love you've been able to punch through and to speak directly to the audience through you tube is that how does it make you feel is that going to do you think there'll be a we continued to do that again you tube or social me because on you tube i was not talking on the ticker and i was doing what he tickles innocent with that but of course all of this combines you know facebook twitter but because we have no if you shal were never in the furious cold war the people who were on or poised on the wrong side of it or was it was it abuse they were not who were in the really of is amazing musician the she was she was still a note carnegie hall concert but she was also political and social activists should plead for american troops what should i use to stand watchman shut her down and she disappeared and i think it was really a gatekeeper for classical music so you busted through those gatekeepers you posted

through the establishment you were not i'm sure of beethoven was alive today he'd be saying. valentyn is doing the right things to tell us that music is for the people yes you know i'm that's why i'm lucky because this woman ended up she committed suicide because she had no concerts was this time this is twenty first century the work of social media i broke through i was able to get sort of but also you know since for globalization i'm able to play yes i was bombed from concept in toronto you know if they didn't let me play a minute of concerto i was not going on stage to speak about politics i was going to have to play a mine in the second can share. for goodness sake they didn't allow me to do it but i can plant when the contents are out everywhere on the globe yes i can go to what is eli can go where i can go to pretty can go to any country and plea so i have this outlet and this one did not just not just you tube i mean if. you know hotel booking services online you've got you've got the ability to you know all all

social media apps you can get on a plane to go to any country you can take cheap flights i mean your so you are a global presence but so toronto banned you from playing and a. stance of play were doing so because for purely political reasons and what was your response what did it do i wasn't gauges that as i realised that later because i was ukrainian not because. in a way and that's always that i'm for because when i went to new to play windsor not to become you know to be in the us have commodity musicians which have songs and you know when i was a blonde pretty to be in a squeeze play and you know i was there to be myself and i would go to toronto to be myself this people first hired me because it was good you know because they hired like two years in advance because it's pretty korean community when somebody told the speedball you know she's no that kind correct kind of ukrainian i was a tourist offered to sit cook and they would do is they would cry for somebody else

i said no i'm not going to do that because they sold out completely as a whole and they were selling out of my name because people assume that people bought tickets they saw it they're going to see me i said no i'm going to do it and they said no we'll use police to prevent you from come to zurich yourself and i went on phrasebook and the route to my friends and to everybody's basically suppose that they went why i don't know told them that i'm being but it went from playing their mind you know because what they said in the police about my own country about what they feel about my governor. we're going because i'm ukrainian in a minute can see it doesn't know where do you yet to go away my ukrainian since it's all right and so what did you play instead it were else what actually huffy of late that i do you go and play turned on though you do you put in cool and be good will a plebiscite full of you know what this was one of only two times in my life when they got stand in the way should be forty please because all those people came in

support of free speech even if some of them did north agree was what they said that was a vote of even the binion and think came to support me and not only musician but right is this isn't is what i would do or some to say my opinion you know if you're performing at your level and you're expressing yourself at this level to try to have you censor yourself is would also cut into your ability to express yourself musically in other words you cannot explain your being into to people and you are expressing yourself as an artist and that that waterfall that torrent of expression cannot be managed because you know it's there is always a sense when art is on this level that is coming from mr very spiritual place and so the ears are just channeling yes that's the spirit yes you know you're saying censor me and john the spirit either you're going to have a political spokesman or you can have a musician you can have

a great musician and they can stay for another segment because you know i'm really getting into this. say right there thanks for being on the guy's report. all right that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser at par with me max geyser and stacey everett like to thank our guests valentino listen. if you want to reach us on twitter it's kaiser report until next time. after weeks of media hysterics and official claims without a shred of evidence the case that russia was behind the songs were a poison incident is falling apart transparency in the rule of law have never played a role in what happens next sadly just only too predictable. and

that was the voice on the title of one mama. i don't know the little bit of the best song at the. yeoville of the critique you took i'm not critical of a lot but if they're going to be chilcote you know. he said to. me and you come with a nice concrete so for us to do if that's the question is to yes or no yes the chest. here for everyone that is for you. but.

good politicians do something that. would put themselves on the on the big get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something i want to press. that's a good way to be for us this is what the forecast for you in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. it. was. a really good one for about what about. the it.

was. israel deploys tanks and snipers to the gaza border where it's thought at least knowing palestinians have been killed in an occupation protest. they don't just say russian former spy so to get a script paul is no longer in critical condition after last month's poisoning is so great as the british media continues to speculate swear the nerve agent has produced. former u.s. intelligence officers back wiki leaks founder julian assange and she is being forced off line by the ecuadorian embassy in london a comment about catalonia. for the latest on these stories head to r.t. dot com at the top of the oh my colleague when we say she will be here with a full news bulletin well next it's crosstalk discussing the screw.
