the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. backscatter this. poor. report yes it's doing dong the witch is dead warren buffett extortionist private equity job is recorded game changing record breaking losses as berkshire hathaway is holding company goes belly up more or less stacy this episode is an exercise in bad taste well actually it's an exercise in poor taste

which would be the phrase the logline for pink flamingos so i'm going to refer 1st to the pink flamingos because we have a tweet directed at us from one of our viewers and his name is. central and he says off topic i like the flamingos in the report where are they my wife also commented on how nice they are so i got some pics brought them back to the set there on the set you know they should be multiplying like they are moving because of the lockdown all the pink flamingos are surrounding everything just coersion. right of course pink flamingos was a raunchy bad taste that's fine let it go of course pink flamingos was a raunchy bad taste film by john waters in 1972 and i think 1972 is an important year that we started bringing in bad our bad taste and trashy taste because that's when we started getting trashy food and poor taste sort of investors like warren buffett warren buffett this past weekend did announce results not only did he lose

over $50000000000.00 in the 1st quarter but he proceeded to trash the entire u.s. economy he announced he dumped all of his shares to is the entirety of his holding holdings in 4 u.s. airline. united american southwest and delta he does he own 10 percent of those he dumped as but what did he tell the ordinary person the investors out there i hope i've convinced you to bet on america warren buffett he's a guy who of course has no bearing on america because he he's now piled up $137000000000.00 this whole buffett thing with his dumping of the airlines you know let's contrast this with 20082008 when the banks were having financial difficulty because they committed massive fraud or when a bank like wells fargo which is a big buffett holding commits a massive fraud that he condones by ripping people off in their millions of retail banking accounts he rushes to the rescue like florence dion tao how can i

restructure i'll take over as c.e.o. as he did with solomon brothers you know way back when i'll write checks i will be a crony capitalist i'll go to washington i'll help you because you're going to buy my 0 percent coupon bonds you're going to give me inside information you're going to goose up my performance and then 2020 when the airlines are in childwall which he has a big percentage ownership in made up of blue collar workers minimum wage workers hard working americans they say drop dead you know warren buffett to america drop dead backstabbing reprehensible clown well it was an exercise in poor taste that was what we saw at the at the berkshire hathaway shareholder meeting it was just him on you know basically a camera one camera on his own but the exercise importation has ben's you know since he began his investing days 1st of all he plays the ukulele pretending to be a normal person like a hillbilly and heck just like you out there and what does he push on you he's

pushed genetically modified stuff corn syrup laden catch ups and and coca-cola that's one of his biggest most famous holdings wrigley all sugar sugar sugar corn syrup he's made you fat made you. basically vulnerable to something like over 1000 which is hitting the obese and particular and why are you obese because of his poor taste like he's pushed this garbage on you and you mentioned 2008 when he bailed out goldman sachs and some of the other companies of course they were the counter party say i g and the ensurance and reinsurance companies that he himself own so he was kind of bailing out his own positions and getting the fed to do the same buffett says berkshire hasn't provided financial support to companies as they did during the 2008 financial crisis because we don't see anything that attractive so of course what's different about this time is the treasury is having to step in meaning the taxpayers' money and it's not just fed printing more credit and you

know thus inflation but you know there are basically provisos in order to like there's some call backs allowed inside this bailout for the airline industry so here we have this airline industry that has received tens of billions of dollars in bailouts after and they require these bailouts by the way because warren buffett a lot of the share buybacks which only reduces the cash on your balance sheet makes you more vulnerable again just like you made you more vulnerable by selling you coca-cola he's made companies more vulnerable by convincing them to do stock buybacks so here we have taxpayers come forward tens of billions of dollars for airlines and they're not allowed to do stock buybacks so of course that makes him throw his pink flamingo out of his prime his crack up his ukulele and potentially like he's throwing a fit and that this is some great investment advice not to buy airlines when the fact is he's just operating in poor taste and poor faith john waters to make pink

flamingos they should reshoot the film and replace the role of divine with warren buffett you know particularly sidewalk scene with the dog with it warns profile the personality quite well as far as a stock buybacks go this is interesting because. he says oh i'll be an investor in your company and then he encourages these companies do stock buybacks what used to be illegal but now without a doubt it's highly dangerous to your balance sheet in case there is a crisis because you have no cash it is a bit of an extortion scam because in the case i.b.m. i.b.m. he was a big player big buyer by b.m. stock and then i.b.m. bought that the idea of buying back their own stock and then warren buffett dumped them you know he stabbed him in the back because unless you're going to make money by doing what was illegal stock buybacks and amoral stock buybacks i don't want any interest in what you're doing so his performance which is supposed to be this fantastic multi decade performance if you strip out the stock buyback you strip out the accounting fraud and stick his trip out the cozy relationships in washington to wall street he's not out performing

a money market fund right and in terms of this exercise in poor taste and why his investment thesis like this guy invests in companies and basically helps destroy and undermine america through his encouragement of fed intervention and on his financial investments and including and the insurance sector and reinsurance sector which by the way apparently some of his insurance companies have not been paying out to all these small businesses that have insurance on disruption to business insurance so he's not paying out on that so he keeps on claiming remember this is all about projection because anybody who keeps on claiming over and over and over i'm doing this for america i'm just investing for america and i'm. long america well you know it is long as he could find a moat like he encourages the motes whereby the airline industry in america can charge twice as much per mile passenger mile as european airlines because there's

no competition anywhere there's no competition there's no competition in the banking sector because you need to have a cozy relationship with the new york fed and if you don't have a cozy relationship with the new york fed you're toast so here i want to point out that max we did a little bit of are incorrect. just by 1000000000 but what's 1000000000 when you have 137000000000 right imagine having 138000000000 in cash and no big queen or gold buffett most overrated investor ever except for a dally 0 and mix up 0 who many say invented bitcoin but he denies it so we'll say that but he's a you know cryptographer and sort of cypherpunk and he was spawn's buffett's wealth can be measured less in present cash than in the future cash from the fed he is right up there at the front of that cantillon line to get right right during the quarter the money supply increased by like 18 percent if the fed was just flooding the economy money and

a lot of those money goes through buffett's holdings like the banks that he owns yes they still manage to lose 50000000000 i mean this is such an overrated clown and his performance is horrible when it when you compare it to gold he's that he's not performing gold gold is up performing buffett because it is up 9000000 percent since its inception it's up and down the last 101520 years it's our performing buffett by thousands of percentage points big berkshire hathaway price and big coin is probably near 0 and he has all those cash which is not a good thing if you're supposed to be a celebrated investor right you're saying i don't really don't what i'm doing anymore i stabbed america in the back i didn't pay out the geico claims i didn't come to help the airline industry when they needed me most so i just was there for the for the free cash that i was channeling in the laundering through the airlines for me warren buffett you know and now you know you all can just jump off

a bridge i don't care i've abandoned america i've stabbed in the back and that's his legacy on is jim style little say warren buffett trader well i do want to say that norway there no wait inside sovereign wealth fund has gone by. they've doubled down on america they've invested very long in this past month april so warren buffett was dumping shares they were buying so let's see who is more patriotic than warren buffett i also want to say jason wrote to us on twitter and he said max maybe cantillon air might be a nice new nilo him for describing those closest to the free money is so warm buffett is not multi-billionaire of many people say oh my god look i'm going to be amazing now he's a can tell you now he's friends with the fed and that's why he's a can tell you they're right bernie madoff would it and warren buffett are 2 sides of the same coin you know except that bernie didn't have the right connections he didn't have the you was on the speed dial or of lloyd blankfein or jamie diamond so

now he's sitting in jail warren should be also in jail for doing the exact pretty much the exact same thing so you know we started with an exercise in poor taste and that's why we talked about warren buffett and his poor taste of pretending to be an ordinary person who plays a ukulele and that's why we have the pink flamingos up here because pink flamingos is an exercise in what buffet is an exercise. for us i want to say we're going to now and with an exercise in good taste very poor smell you don't know how difficult it's been to sit through this segment as we have this surprise here for our final headline and that is some more be a cheese from france up near the. hay near the swiss village and i'll bet oh yeah take a whiff of that. max is half french essential so. i'm thinking max with this last segment on this otherwise exercise imports that we could end up becoming

a cheese geza right now we're talking about. french citizenship here basically because we're going to be patriotic to france right now french people are being. told it's their patriotic duty to eat more cheese after sales have slumped the dairy industry is calling on consumers to eat cheese in solidarity with our producers. rebuttal shown cantarell can bear the situation is critical and requires a rapid increase in consumption said the president of the dairy collective so deol didn't. choose the french have their priorities straight cheese is the 1st food for humans this is why we have such an affinity for it this is some milk that was got into the you know carrying around in the stomach of a yak or a goat cheese and how this was the 1st food of humans ever and that's why we love it so so you know this i could tell that the milk from this cheese was from

a cow who was standing on the northwest slope of a mountain near conte and he had on a bell that was ringing out a a led zeppelin turn so i could play in the last few 10 seconds here so quickly i want to point out that the industry has launched a campaign to encourage french people to eat more cheese it's called from oz she sunk which means let's act for cheese because sales and cheese have declined by 60 percent in france this is the more b.a. cheese right here and that's down into the morning milk and the afternoon milk so it's very delicious here march is for life and remember that nothing mangoes are injured during the recording of this stay tuned for more coming your way.

time after time called her ration to repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important celery transitions to sustainable prize board sustainability spain overmanned a more equitable and sustainable well. they claim their production is completely

harmless. and it builds on the companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something else this must be going to mean and i mean look. this is the movie and you listen to me do me man and i'm stunned seemed i mean the best understood superman and. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport that's less i'm showbusiness i'll see of that.

welcome back to the kaiser report i'm max keyser time now to go to crack hemp he is a precious metals analyst at t.f. metals report craig welcome back always a pleasure max great to see you yeah baby radek 2 are a major change in direction for a lot of things i want buffett over there berkshire hathaway hates gold hates bit coin is even more his fund is down 50000000000 so far this year both gold and bitcoin are up the u.s. budget deficit is due to hit for charlie in this year perfect conditions for gold this year and beyond i would think crag what do you think yes sure seems that way max you recall last year we thought was going to be a year the breakout and it was we finally made 6 and 7 year highs and i thought we continue this year though i mean who could have seen this virus coming in the q.e. to infinity that was announced about 6 weeks ago i mean heck we've already hit my

target for this year i thought we'd get to maybe 75800 we got to spend 88 already in april but i do think that conditions persist i mean this is just madness we're really ready with it they've announced that if it is buying corporate bonds i mean to be high yield next to it the dow under $20000.00 will start buying equity e.t.f. so and all of that obviously is conducive to you know at least having some part of your portfolio in the precious metals and you know the other thing max we don't talk about too much but the mining shares i mean there's a you can't really find another sector of the stock market that has expanding earnings and rising dividends but that's what we've got in the mining shares and so that might be some way to people can maybe make all extra yeah yeah totally agree i mean the fed is desperate somebody from the fed came by yesterday knocked on the door looking for some old silverware that they wanted to give me a $1000000000.00 for i turned him down i was sentimental value now craig i need your insight into something or the president. the shanghai gold exchange wants

a super sovereign currency for post crisis times so your thoughts on what this might be do you believe it's time for a neutral global unit of account of some type crag what do you think min max subsidy you think in the 1st time you and i met i think was about 2013 and we're walking around in front of the j.p. morgan building and in midtown manhattan talking about this you know talking about the eventual reset you know that the dollar like any other currency that has been reserve currency status eventually lose it you know because it's an exorbitant privilege that it's abused and numbing clearly it's being abused now and has been now for over a decade i think the chinese have that potential platform in in place to challenge the dollar and they may not supplant it you know maybe they come out with some kind of regional currency to facilitate trade in their part of the one who knows but

this notion it's now getting bandied about that as some kind of heavily for the coronavirus the u.s. is going to you know walk away or cancel some of the the debt that is owed to china i mean that's just that's not going to fly and if we attempt anything like that that could be the start of you know maybe an economic world war 3 where the chinese offer some kind of currency like that to her you know maybe gold back into their existing currency to give it a competitive advantage to give maybe you know time will come or countries will actually want a strong currency rather than this you know nonstop basement you know race to the bottom if that comes why not back your currency at least partially with some hard assets like gold i mean there's speculation i mean the chinese report that they've got a couple 1000 tons i think people think that's off by order of magnitude or more and if that's the case. that really upset the global applecart no doubt about it but i agree with you that this tip. tat going on between china and the united states over

the coronavirus and secretary of state pompei all claiming that somehow china sat on information that was available on your 2 cents december i think they should give pompei a youtube account so that he can actually see what's happening in china because they have life footage of people dropping dead from a coronavirus i don't know what he thought that was but anyway i am going to the doc that for my taxes i bought that cia so you know we've talked on this show a few times about. 1000000000 banks being involved in scams where they're short gold and here we have news scotiabank has been a gold bullion bank since the 17th century i think it's the oldest 1000000000 bank in the world it's closing its gold business. and they have problem delivering gold last month apparently for exactly what we've been warning people about for 5 or 6

years that these banks have been selling are lending gold that they do not have and if there was actual demand and there was a run on scotia back that's what looks like happened they would have to call their doors is that if you think what has what happened and are we going to see a domino effect what the bullion banks and they're all going to go out of business because they're all short gold krag you know the scotia thing as you said they bought mccotter in makati as the original bullion bank if you will from the 17th century and so now in their good now the precious metals business kind of has a scent of you know the rats pulling the 2nd shift they're not the 1st bullion bank to get out of that that market i think a lot of it is do they just can't make any money at it anymore this is not worth the regulatory oversight and never thing that comes with it so they're just they're just they're just moving on that doesn't mean the system is broken just yet there are other banks that are more unhappy to take their place whether it was scotia back on the 23rd and 24th of march it was in trouble i heard some folks say it was

u.b.s. either way it was a delivery default that wasn't defined that way and then the media didn't allow it to be defined that way and certainly the l b m a and the c.m. even allowed you to find that way but they've been playing these games on the comix the l m a for role for years call in a process some you and i have discussed before called the exchange for physical where you take a comix contract which is 100 ounces and you transfer it off of the comix and 0 allegedly exchange it for physical f.p. in london and it was this process that the banks were just abusing playing the spread between spot and futures and thinking they could make a risk free little profit every day and it got to the point in march max where it was just out. age is what they were doing in stuff 1st 15 trading days of march they swapped out almost 300000 comix contracts this way it's like 900 metric tons

of gold allegedly exchanged for physical abuse a scam right so somebody shows up on the 24th of march right after q.e. to infinity was announced you know it's ever so much as it was scrambling for physical gold because the refineries the mints and the miners are all star you know they all start to shut down because a coded so somebody shows up and says what hey look they see me does this thing here with these exchanges for physical let's just get some of their physical that's that's where we can get some and as soon as somebody stood and actually wanted delivery boom the whole thing blew up because they didn't have any actual physical sense then you know they'll be based taken all the steps to try to claim i am there's all kinds of don't worry about it just in the wrong place and all this stuff but nobody ever stopped to say well wait a 2nd where are all these 100 ounce bars you are allegedly settling you know for years there's not a single one anywhere it's all just a scam man the whole paper market digital derivative pricing scheme is

a 6 am and that is now known people are starting to figure this out and yet the sooner they do the sooner we get actual fair price for the precious metals and $1.00 that day finally comes it's not going to be whatever it is now 17 dollars an ounce and that's kind of what we're all hoping for is the banks just ruin everything i mean such as a precious metals market they're rude basically every market as they all you know they just try to bend all the rules in their favor is to make as much money as they can while listening to describe what's going on there it reminded me of 2008 south wall street banks were caught short trillions of dollars worth of bonds and south somebody had to walk the plank or they could bury all the dead bodies and that somebody was lehmann brothers yam bear stearns sow they all got together in a big meeting down on wall street they said. we got caught with their pants down were short a huge amount of these bonds that we oversold that we missed sold and what about the buriat money you that setting up the stalemate $1.00 of $11.00 bank was not at

the table and that was lehmann brothers so dick fault and lehman brothers were had to walk the plank essential and now you're saying the scotiabank had to walk the plank because all the blame banks got together and said wait a minute we just got caught in a massive fraud scam we've got to bury all these errors somewhere and it looks like scotiabank number came up already delivery problem futures contracts and oil caused the price of oil to plummet to negative 37 dollars last month could delivery problems in gold caused it to soar by currently unimaginable numbers that's what we're talking about here at the end max because these banks have taken the same ounce of gold and sold it over and over and over because rarely anybody ever takes delivery they just want to feel like they actually have gold i you can go and store it for me i don't care i just want to know that i have it well then what the bank does they resell that same ounce over and over in the same terms and eventually you get 5100 different parties that think they own that same ounce what's eventually

going to happen is the opposite of what we saw in crude oil where we came to the delivery month of may crude oil futures and nobody wanted it because there was nowhere to store it and so you had everybody desperate to get out on one side of the trade but nobody wanted to buy it there were no bid and so in a bid list market the price went all the way down to negative $40.00 which is just outrageous we're expecting one day to happen in gold is the exact opposite everybody wants to buy it because it's been sold or levered but nobody's willing to sell it no one's ever actually it will have to show up and actually have metal that it's free and ready to be delivered and so then you get an offer less a market where everybody's bidding and instead price plummeting you know infinitely really as what crude oil did when it went negative the price of gold goes the other way that day has come. you just don't want to drive yourself crazy thinking it's going to be like you know next week but that days inevitably i've already different my stuff crazy that crag finally speaking of shortages 11 missouri

a state where 2 thirds of the state's total land acreage is in agriculture your top agricultural commodities include cattle and hogs but has made processing plants sutter were saying shortages consumers your thoughts on this in relation to possible inflation and is it you know i remember people used to laugh at the soviet union for becoming the servia area and yet that's coming i just can't imagine we're not entering a period of kind of like 1970 style stagflation where there's not much economic growth but they're just putting so much cash that inflation just overwhelms things you recall maybe max because you know you were a young man back in the seventy's. that was a pretty good period for gold you know go away from 35800 during the seventy's really good period for the mining shares too so if i brought it for heading into it stagflation type level you know type of activity well. that's going to be another good sign for the precious well i still got my gold lamé disco pants ready baby

let's take it so that this gal all right well that's it for this up a star of the kaiser report was made max kaiser and stacy herbert like to thank our guest craig hampton f t f models report dot com if you'd like to get in touch tweet us a kaiser report that my new twitter handle real max kaiser and so next to. you can be bold with yeah you like.

i've interviewed women civilian world and rape is a very very traumatizing thing to have happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma. i cannot remember how many times a young female marine that had been raped or sexually assaulted told me that she looked at these guys as your brother or the suspect as your brother it's a kin to what happens in a family with incest because you know in the military when we're functioning at our best and i coach he says.
