dividend discount model or some other typical way of valuing assets and therefore the only way to keep this ponzi scheme going is to keep flooding the market with ever more trillions of dollars worth of big fee out money and more derivatives so the ponzi scheme will increase america's debt will go from 23 trillion to 50 to 60 trillion i have no doubt about that by the way we are and brooklyn where in a warehouse in brooklyn so if you hear people beeping behind us it's because they're angry about somebody parallel parking or something in front of them but i also want to say that this guy luigi way he notices the united states having an increasing amount of xenophobia us it referring to the anti russian xenophobia but in particular he's looking at the whipping up of xenophobia against china right now because of this trade war he said the u.s. has been close to the air of mccarthyism referring to the pakis of making accusations of subversion or treason without proper regard for evidence so he does

know that which is quite interesting that that was a remarkable thing about the russian a hoax is that there was that imaginary ghost and enemy out there called russia during the russia gate hoax meanwhile if you look at huawei and other 5 g. technologies coming out of china and other technology in china china's actually leapfrogging ahead of the u.s. economically and now is visibly the currency war so now that whole period of focusing on russia would be is just a waste of time it should have been focusing on the actual rivals america's predominance in the u.s. and that would be china part of this again and the u.s. dollar as a weapon the financial war the desire for negative interest rates he said that china should look to cooperate with other countries to build one or 2 independent international clearance systems to prevent the u.s. using its long arm jurisdiction right the. world reserve currency and using as

swift which gives the u.s. the ability to censor any transactions they can censor iran they can censor china they can censor any country they want to and apply sanctions and engage in war you know sanctions are an act of war and the us has had a soft kill war going on now for a decade to get these countries that they don't like big very dubious reasons in the unknown reasons really well now we're going to get into a multi-polar world and the ability to cut people off from the financial data will cease if you want to be the new chill platform on which all internet happens or all commerce happens then of course it needs to be always neutral regardless just like at the u.n. general assembly every year here across the river and manhattan they have to allow anybody any nation free passage to come there and speak so we want to have that u.n. general assembly every year here in order to have that we have to promise that we

want to arrest anybody we won't allow we won't prevent some guy we don't like or a dictator or authoritarian like from speaking there so the same thing with the international settlements system if you want the power to control it and you've got to allow all trades to settle there otherwise this emerges now of course speaking of financial war and speaking of china by the way this is the most prosperous economy the world has ever seen says jamie diamond and it's going to continue so jamie diamond was interviewed on 60 minutes by lesley stahl 1st of all he says that the trade war won't be settled before 2020 but it won't cause any problems he doesn't see that there's any indication that the consumer in the united states is willing to stop spending he says the consumer which is 70 percent of the u.s. economy is quite strong confidence is very high their balance sheets are in great shape and you see that the strength of the american consumer is driving the american economy and the global economy while business slowed down my current view is that no it was just a slowdown not. petering out so when jane diamond says it's the most prosperous

country every means the most indebted country ever so have student debt skyrocketing household debt skyrocketing corporate debt skyrocketing the national debt is skyrocketing he's in the business of selling debt and creating derivatives around for him for jamie diamond it's never been more prosperous so yeah i can understand his point of view but nevertheless it's hollowing out the economy and it's extraordinarily fragile and we see pockets of it collapsing in various towns it could be flint michigan it could be san francisco could be various towns are just disappearing and being vaporized by this fragility of the economy because been hollowed out because 2 of the likes thanks jamie diamond course jamie dimon is the head of the biggest bank in the world certainly the biggest bank of america as well and he is saying 1st of all that trump is going to win in 2020 because you don't have a booming economy and a president incumbent who loses 2nd of ah yes it's the consumer spending leslie stahl should have followed up of course when he said this is the greatest economy

ever she should have asked him why then as the largest participant in the repo market the largest bank in america is the fed having to intervene to the tune of up to $200000000000.00 every single day in the repo market jamie diamond why is that happening if everything is so great well the measure of a booming economy according to lesley stahl 60 minutes jamie dimon is the ever increasing number of billionaires but there is a point where you have to understand that for every billionaire it's a disenfranchisement of a 1000000 people it's a it's not the same as having an economy generating prosperity with some kind of equanimity across the board and a rising living standard this is a 0 sum game played by interest rate apartheid games by jamie dimon and his cohorts on wall street who are moving for example hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars from pension accounts to their pockets using ultra cheap manipulated interest rates and we now know that interest rates whether it's live or or the bank of england or the fed they are engaged in a racket tearing. and that's why jamie dimon is being prosecuted for racketeering

because he manipulates gold silver bonds stocks currencies is a racketeer that's what he does to be clear jamie dimon himself is not but 3 executives at j.p. morgan senior executives are being charged with racketeering within j.p. morgan leslie stahl then went on to ask him about the fallout from the financial crash and the lack of any sort of justice there he said there was no old testament just as a lot of people lost their reputation and money but too many people didn't so of course she didn't ask him as a follow up well don't you want to do any penance do you feel guilty don't you want to confess to the fact that you jamie dimon were on the board of the new york fed when you and the new york fed decided to bail out j.p. morgan to the tune of hundreds of billions and on the other banks fundamentally

change the character of america by strong arming and pressuring eric holder of the attorney general to introduce the holder doctrine which says that there's 2 tier system of justice in america and there's no rule of law if you're jamie diamond and the bankers on wall street this is trickle down to the general population is boston under 50 years ago there's looting at the top there's going to be looting all across the nation all across the society so when you look at the crime sprees and you look at the public def occasion when you look at the public lawlessness if you look at the riots on the street that's because at the top is the genda set by jamie diamond who's saying look at me i'm a crook and i'm a billionaire you can be a crook too and you make $20.00 is so it's a crooked awful cesspool which is poster child is frank and jamie dimon of course he says yes we have too many billionaires and this is a cause of the fed bailing out everybody but that we shouldn't take it back from people like myself in fact we should just raise the minimum waste. $15.00 i make

all those small businesses pay the price on top of that he said yes inequality is rising but that doesn't mean free enterprise is bad of course using propagandist to say he is free enterprise when in fact j.p. morgan is not free to fail so that is not free enterprise by the slot frailer prize he hasn't had a losing day and years because they manipulate markets and j.p. morgan famously went 3 or 4 months last year without all this in trade on any given day that's like flipping a nickel in the air and having it land as every single day for 90 days on our days are very bad at the only way that's possible is if the nickel has a heads on both sides so this is best if jamie diamond's game it's heads he wanes tails we lose our heads he wins and adds he wins again and he continues to win every single possible day as we head into that 2020 at elections i want to say that democrats will probably not be happy with his his statements that the economy is booming and that in fact we need a $15.00 minimum wage because none of the neo liberal candidates for sure don't

want to look left wing as hillary clinton would say and push for a minimum wage rise right well that's going to do it don't go away much more coming your way after the break what tyson slocum. is you'll be a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safer. tyson nation will community. are you going the right way or are you being that. way. what is true was his faith.

in the world corrupted you need to descend. so join us in the depths. or in maybe in the shallows. up and on the foot of the ice cream i found a way to go through a food. bank itself mukti about. closing this way got to dog so hard not to think of the mother disappeared this moment the look of the day i was and i know from the start then if. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his way.

through on the feet all found his most recent woody allen grabbing hold of even a box of. what i think is this is the funds that is a constant. thought. the world is driven by a dreamer shaped by one person of those but. i am. thinks. we dare to ask.

people. welcome back to the kaiser report imax kaiser's i'm not its aren't you tyson slocum he is of the public citizens energy program in washington d.c. i said welcome back always great to be here you know if you've got your finger on the pulse of what's happening there in d.c. and you've got a story here we got to talk about what's j.p. morgan doing down in texas with the el paso electric so in early june paso electric which is a franchise electric utility traded on the new york stock market been in operation for more than 100 years it's got a service territory in west texas and parts of new mexico about 500000 households announced that it was being acquired by a private investment fund called the i have. claims that it's advised

by j.p. morgan chase and company but the more we started to dig into this transaction the more we uncovered the fact that i is actually controlled by j.p. morgan chase and company and so in numerous filings before the federal energy regulatory commission which is one of the government bodies that has to approve and review this merger we have raised the alarm bell that ferk and other regulatory agencies should not approve this merger until i comes clean about its affiliate ties to j.p. morgan chase right now like some. of the j.p. morgan they go to the graveyard and find some dead people but they found the equivalent therefore of and to be a front to control this energy company and as part of this need and. this this

move by monopolist like j.p. morgan and others to control the energy business and it's you know. until recently that was a public utility and there was a need to make sure that these things were operating so that energy was available to the public at a fair price now we've got intermittent energy energy grids collapsing power is failing and you've got monopolist in the background gouging is price gouging by the master price gougers serial fraudster and rackets here jamie diamond himself probably the number one most wanted financial terrorist in america so washington d.c. and you're over there citizens energy program aside from you know applying some pressure there to try to get more disclosure or it's a publicly traded company right. don't they have to comply with some or all laws there i mean aren't they violating some produce share responsibility of anyone's investing in this like a pension fund or a corporation or private equity fund with

a lack of disclosure here there are potentially committing fraud themselves they should be aware of this i think that there are some serious problems here as you pointed out gets all of its capital from pension funds it's our understanding that most of the pension funds that are investing here are municipal firefighter teachers police pension funds from small and medium sized towns a lot of times these municipal pension funds don't necessarily have the management wherewithal to compete with the likes of a j.p. morgan and so we actually got our hands on some of the pitching power point documents that i was giving to these small pension funds and what we found from these pitching documents is that i f. doesn't have any employees every single employee that works for this private investment fund is lent to it by j.p. morgan so j.p.

morgan staffs the entire operation and they have 3 allegedly independent owners well when we did digging these. people don't own anything they actually didn't contribute any money they are just board members and we recently got j.p. morgan to admit that 2 of the 3 owners are there because j.p. morgan submitted their names as references that doesn't aren't people going to realize that and in funds are like the toxic waste for risk in any any bad trade because the people to match their purposefully higher stupid people to manage these pension funds public pension funds and they just go there and they dump garbage in there i know i've worked on wall street and i've done many am bad trait that should have been on somebody's rich guy's account it dump it into a pension fund because they have no way to stop it it's just it's to be use and you know that's the way to go and yet we already found one example of self dealing where in 2018 j.p. morgan owned 120000000 class

a shares of this wind power company called coastal states wind they recommended that i buy these 120000000 shares from j.p. morgan so j.p. morgan is allegedly be independent financial advisor to this fund and yet here's j.p. morgan selling its own stuff to i often that's just one example that we found i'm sure that there's dozens more it raises issues not just for the regulatory oversight of an electric utility but how the pensions for firefighters for teachers for cops how their money is being invested and this doesn't look good for them if if j.p. morgan is is basically constructing this elaborate front to mask its actual control over this fund i remember in 2008 goldman sachs was caught selling bogus products to its own customers that they themselves that knowingly put in their customer accounts to defraud their own customers and then eric holder the attorney

general at that time said you know what we're going to legalize financial fraud under the what's called the holder doctrine or. because fraud is america's number one business speaking of a serial frost there's one couple maniacs like warren buffet. tell us what's going on with kraft and their their fine for rigging wheat futures i mention warren buffett because of course warren buffett on the big piece of heinz ketchup and they engineered a merger with kraft just a few years ago so he knows all about what was happening here speaking tell us about this frog yes there's a federal agency called the u.s. commodity futures trading commission which regulates commodity markets wheat oil natural gas and they caught kraft red handed manipulating the wheat futures market levied a fine but in the new good in the negotiations to do the fine it wasn't just you know the c.f.d. see coming out and saying you're guilty instead it was

a plea sensually where kraft neither admitted nor denied any wrongdoing agreed to a settlement where they paid a fine but in the fine print of this settlement kraft negotiated a small little clause that said see if t.c. and the individual commissioners of the c.f.d. see won't be permitted to talk about this settlement and in announcing the settlement each of the individual see if t.c. commissioners made statements about this this manipulation settlement they just reached with craft and days later crafts attorneys filed a federal breach of contract suit where they accused the see if the c. of criminal misconduct in. violating the consent degree of this. this fine so so that some cracker company. is

threatening the u.s. government absolutely rigging markets thank you eric holder and that and now. if you did your job if we were a small fee was pay we keep $0.90 of every dollar we steal right warm up j.p. morgan but that's not enough they then want to sue the government for doing their job as private corporation that's absolute correct this is intimidation and this is the political climate we're in where a company caught red handed committing wrongdoing immediately turns the tables on the cops are the regulators and accuses them of writing i mean anyone who's malfeasance stories in new york of cops being spit at and having water poor ahmed disrespected it comes from j.p. morgan it comes from kraft it comes from heinz it comes from warren buffett it come to america older who treat law enforcement agencies and regulators like garbage

that the highest levels of our government that trickles down to the street they're providing the example for people to follow of treating police like garbage and so the discraft company of course because they can't make money on crackers they have to resort to the financial future manipulation that's the only place they can make money is on their cash desk manipulating and committing fraud that's their business model is fraud and it's an out and now their business model is intimidating federal regulators martin scorsese's film about this i mean he just made a film about mobsters you know dying mobsters in a nursing home he should make a film about these mobsters that are actively torching an arsonist killing our economy scorsese watches the program write what you told me you know we borrow a lot of his shots because this scorsese the intimidation shot. doesn't mean streets. you know he went to n.y.u. like i went to n.y.u.

we studied him in film school now your thoughts on the california pee genie and now there are warning 10 years of blackout so this is a good. and so this utility company they are shutting the power down because they can't guarantee that the trees won't fall on the power lines or start fires or act isn't like some others from the simpsons you know mr smithers i think anyway. nuclear power plant this is a travesty you've got a situation where what the 5th largest economy in the world the state of california is doesn't have reliable electricity service because a corporate owned utility p.g. any pacific gas and electric can't manage its transmission lines without fear of forest fires resulting what we have here is an issue of severe corporate mismanagement where p.g. and e. has time and time again prioritized financial returns for its investors at the

expense of the public interest necessity of running right you know there's going to business whether it's providing electricity in a or making crackers a craft or providing banking services a j.p. morgan they can do their core business they can only make money manipulating markets couldn't it be genie can only make money by focusing on the short termism by manipulating markets by strong arming regulators by committing fraud and they've had the fukushima of the. essentially they're just crux their outright fricken trucks and people are being torched they're being they're dying as arson they're providing an example of petty thieves and antisocial behavior they're going to go private and everyone's going to go private kohlberg kravis and roberts are going to own everything with warren buffett we're going to be serfs on their front in the feudal plantation. it's that all back to d.c. it's all this work about it well we're instead of them going private we think they

should go public as becoming the state of california should set up a state agency and should the governor should declare. state emergency sees genies assets under that emergency declaration under eminent domain and give those assets to a state agency to operate them in the public interest because from the san bruno natural gas pipeline explosion in 2011 where p.g. news found to be criminally negligent to this wildfire disaster with their transmission lines p.g. and his purchase proved that they cannot manage the basic fundamentals of their being genie is doing to mother earth what harvey weinstein did to the meat to victims i think that's pretty clear it's just as ugly you recently noted that the coal industry is looking for subsidies elaborate on this we have less than a minute we have 30 seconds so bob murray who was the recently departed c.e.o. of murray energy corporation that just declared bankruptcy really had the

president's ear on national energy and climate policy and he was pushing the trumpet ministration to orchestrate a national bail out of coal fired power plants that were losing money to cheaper natural gas and renewables and so the trumpet ministration for the federal energy regulatory commission has been pushing to redesign america's electric power markets to give a huge taxpayer subsidized benefit to coal prices like i'm thank you so much for all the updates fascinating stuff makes me sick but we have to talk about it thank you thank you and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacy herbert like to thank our guests tyson slocum if you want to catch us on twitter it's kaiser report and so next time i owe.

you know world a big part of the new lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. and finding another one in. the way or both the food. bank itself nor the see it on the plaza this way got to dog so hard not to think i know how to

dissipate this momentum look like a coward and i don't think it's the right benefit because. this is the only thing that we do is music because everybody fights his way. to. the floor luke and the feet will sound is worthless woody allen reading all the evil adults look at. what i think is this is the fund that is a complete. thought. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

isolation full community. are you going the right way or are you being that. direct. what is true what is right. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallowness. of the tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implement from the inside venezuela things were different we're going to announce sanctions against petroleum to venezuela associate. in the school of a supplement to. the tempest and political battle to see on move the people on the

path of the moment the focus of the who story isn't new nixon told in henry kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated that in latin america an alternative economic and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make. the chilean economy scream so wants and making the economy of venezuela screed. god. i. was.

the headlines in r.t. u.s. secretary of state might announce his new sanctions on iran and rams home his support for the ongoing mass protests in the country hits back bike using america destroying its economy and inciting riots united states will terminate the sanctions were related to the nuclear facility at fordo you know i expect anything else from mr palmer baird disgracefully defends the maximum pressure regime and imposition of sanctions on iran and a major policy overhaul the us caused outrage by declaring that it no longer uses right of settlements west bank as illegal and activists in the u.k. raise concerns about domestic abuse survivors taking part in the country's upcoming elections his claim.
