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 be 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 there's 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 well 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 have. leave now is the richest guy in the world and of

course he doesn't 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 of 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 to subsidize the delivery cost for amazon and their shareholders that's absolutely wrong i think we want 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 don't need to be revisited when we don't know because we're we're 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.

did so maybe you just drive people crazy and this is what is happening or you know actually this wasn't a response or story the london murder rate did climb higher than new york for the first time and modern history due to all the stabbings that's worse than limerick which of course is not a stab city that's what some people in ireland told you when we went there that's what they call it they said also limerick was all about cute little upper cons and just you know limericks 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 appear 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 diamond for example so they why are these big banks so much more and how 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 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 is 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 hypothesise that unofficial federal reserve communication around the. 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 a place that i overlook from my office of paine webber 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 he's worthless yeah 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 lot of evidence for well 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 dr 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 would take away the fraud in american comedy 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 and freddie but that came out in testimony in front of congress that's if so facto you know you know you can draw a conclusion based on facts impaired love of the thing about me in the murder rate in new york and london that's anecdotal that's your using data payment that's propaganda i got nothing to do with all that stuff and don't look at don't listen stacey about i'm innocent i'm innocent well we have to take a break and when we come back more. good stuff.

about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were yourself in taken your last wrong turn. you're out caught up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry for me i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters in mind it's consumed with death this one different person to speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that

mainstream media has met its maker. who tried shruti costarred all these manipulated i caught series showing of 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 be a member of secular societies it is possible. 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 valjean are delighted to be here so the reason we refer to you in this manner is

because you are the most veer 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 because i was like so many like solvents of 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 for three years on you tube and two songs and sound one 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 that i should go to some like supermarkets were out. or do something with my life something useful for society and i put those videos on and somehow you know is equal with no viral soon before them with no water to loose but it gets started pushing up with 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 and on c.d.'s i said no i don't care when you concerts and my sure thing breaks through after you tube was actually on the station for a longer a cool just couple of years later and only told me when why to not because how you play but you want to see how you produce a 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 glasgow music point and people you know people for the first times they saw me walking chrome as a blue screen of computers on station scene to play in life so that was going to special so when we need people to forward to me it was in the moment it was not just those that are concerned and seems that the time you 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 up you are hearing when you were in three three years old so you're in kiev and you are and in kiev in ukraine of course education there is you're going to be playing chess at one point right you're going to be a chess player in the 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 muscle 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 things just in most people

there is no muscle there you have it here too 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 it never really breaks of strength all right so you were to get back to the conversation or so you were possibly going to go to chess you or 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 the paper 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 where 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 doesn't show

it's a combination of brains and brawn i think i will think of bound 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 the you tube with classical music at least it's not here for that in

a we on you to promote it's way to 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 say mix was classical music i do know my skills i do know what they do but even forty something on you tube before much more recent than just recently by what a nice young i mean it can compose the. and you know i play music sort of new york a sort of new poorly to exert a school millenium suite and then the music industry is there are some people who come up with kind of interview scenes actually because you know his last name mostly by some kind of a delay that was rushing in rush limbaugh the oswal i don't even know what that

elation chip but see accuse this composites 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 the strong clique or trample truck yes yes but you know when you go into arts you go into composed of of course you know no political correctness if we apply political correctness to all the arts course before we get that it of when you classical star fiesta you know when you classical star support if you care when their names are so and we still listen to their music we listen to carry on who was in the. larger what wagoner yes. no no no right yes and some of us were some classical composers you don't want to meet some was people personally when you did certain 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 than you know little researchers going back in history there was a woman named ray levs who is a brilliant pianist you play many con concerts at carnegie hall sold out performances brilliant pianist she signed a petition on one of many against war especially as i war petition she was immediately ostracize. blacklisted her career when it was during the mccarthy period. you know the american inquisition which was debunked thank goodness some point but were you are 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 that make you feel is that going to do you think there'll you could be able to continue to do that and again you tube or social me because on you tube i was not talking on the ticker and i was doing what he tickles things and twitter but of course all of this combines you know facebook twitter but because we have no if you were never in the furious cold war the people who were on or poised on the wrong site or visit was it abuse they would not really of is amazing musician the she was she was still a note carnegie hall concert but she was also a political and social activist should plead for american troops what is your assistant shut her down and she disappear and i think this really gatekeeper for classical music so you busted through those gatekeepers you posted through the

establishment you were enough observed beethoven was alive today he'd be saying. valentyn is doing the right things that was a musical for the people yes you know i'm that's why i'm lucky because this woman ended up she committed suicide because i have no concerts with 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 am able to play yes i was from concept in toronto you know was a given politically of concerta i was not going on stage to speak about politics i was going to have to play a mine in the second picture. 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 ely 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 you've got. 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 it is do i wasn't gauges that as i realized that later because i was ukrainian not because. in a way and that's always that i'm fourth because when i went to new to play windsor not to become you know to be in the us have commodity musicians we 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 people you know she's no the 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 it undermine the because people assume that people bought tickets they saw they're going to see me i said no i'm going to do it so 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 says was 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 gun. when you go under 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 police interview and throw in do you put in cool and be good will a plebiscite the you know what this was one of only two times in my life when they

got stand in the way should be forty police 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 the see if there isn't but i want to have 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 two 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 ear just channeling yes that's the spirit yes you know you're saying spencer 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 kaiser report. all right that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser at par with me max geyser and stacey erbert like to thank our guests valentino listen. if you want to reach us on twitter it's kaiser report until next time by. then what i mean that he will go back i'll go i. will pull you out of a. good obit and demosthenes him would have it and i didn't do it will always be good is it also. comes
