i mean, lloyd blankfein's, the ceo's sons both work at goldman.loyd had to pull himself up by his boot straps, but not his kids. there are plenty of people there who have privileged backgrounds. but even the people who make it to the top, look at lloyd blankfein. you know, he grew up in the south bronx, he moved to the east part of brooklyn for a better life, his father was a postman. lloyd told me, i thought this was fascinating, that his father was then, you know, after he retired was replaced by a machine. so, you know, the job that his father was doing was outmoded, and a machine could do it better, and his mother worked at an alarm security company which he described to me as a growth industry in that part of brooklyn. and he went to public high school where, you know, harvard happened to recruit. found him, he was clearly one of the smartest kids in the class, and gave him a full scholarship to go to harvard where he didn't feel like he fit in. but he eventually did well at harvard, then went to harvard law school and, as he said, e went fro

look at lloyd blankfein.ou know, he grew up in the south bronx, he move today the east new york part of brooklyn which is not the greatest part of town, you know, for a better life. his father was a postman. lloyd told me -- i thought this was fascinating -- that his father was then, you know, after he retired was replaced by a machine. so, you know, the job that his father was doing was outmoded, and a machine could do it better. and his mother worked in an alarm security company which he described to me as a growth industry in that part of brooklyn. and he went to public high school and, you know, where harvard happened to recruit, found him. he was clearly one of the smartest kids in the class and gave him a full scholarship to go to harvard where he found himself surrounded by, like, prep school students. he didn't feel like he fit in, but he eventually did well at harvard, went to harvard law school. and as he said, i went from being an underprivileged child to a child of privilege because he had access

he saw lloyd blankfein who did. he plucked him up out of the masses and made him the next leader of the firm. when he went to washington, it was obvious that he was going to get the job. again, it looks very ruthless. he would say i did what was in the best interest of goldman sachs. if lloyd blankfein wasn't the ceo, they have gone down the tube. instead, they put on the big short and did things to save themselves. at least now they can make a credible argument that they, you know, didn't need the bailout. which is something they have done. i think they would have gone down the tubes in the tsunami like everybody else. clearly goldman was the only one to see it and doing something about it. we now know they did other things, which was continue to sell mortgage-backed security at the same time they made the bet. basically, their clients suffered, i think, financially as a result of goldman's decisions. >> host: well, this is an issue that you bring to the forefront and explain very well in the book how wall street c

me that stoned street advisors is takes exception to one of the things they bring up right away is lloyd blankfein c.e.o. of goldman sachs of course is being accused by carl levin a lying before congress and lying to its clients your thoughts on carl levin's accusation the lloyd blankfein was lying to his clients and was he lying to congress with respect to his clients and those are some points that were brought up by levin and also in in math article there was an issue around certain deals one for example was hudson where goldman in order to get clients to buy those deals indicated that it would be taking a position on the side of those same clients within those same deals so the hudson deal for example was a one point two billion dollar deal goldman was going to take a sliver of a six million dollars position in that deal and because of that that was one of the sort of carrots the bait to bring clients into the deal and as the documents show and as the order mentions it turned out that goldman had a two billion dollars short position against the deal so it's sort of like there was this

the culture is a dumb extremist kind of part of the banking culture where there's no much trust gone lloyd blankfein jamie diamond this guy panned over it's citibank the c.e.o. just paid him some forty two million dollars for stealing four hundred twenty million dollars they have a culture of predatory behavior where once you like a serial killer you know once you steal money from people with mortgage fraud or with banking fees that are illegitimate or with collateralized debt obligations get a taste for the serial financial killing you just go you graduate to these higher crimes and you become a dumb extra lloyd blankfein or very jamie diamond where serial financial murder is part of your day to day life that's the culture you live and well speaking of color coded back let's move on to the next headline because this does have color coded debt warnings in this story financial repression coming to america el erian so this is mohamed el erian one of the heads of pimco the largest bond fund in the world and he was commenting on the global debt problems and signal and noted that there are some

financial killing you just go you graduate to these higher crimes and you become a comic con or a lloyd blankfein or or jamie diamond where serial financial murder is part of your day to day life that's the culture you live in and well speaking of color coded max let's move on to the next headline because this does have color coded threat warnings in this story financial repression coming to america el erian so this is mohammad ali arion one of the heads of pimco the largest bond fund in the world and he was commenting on the global debt problems and signal and noted that there are some countries already signaling red like greece ireland and portugal he said then quote others are flashing orange like the u.s. and already require future sacrifices most likely through a combination of higher inflation austerity and importantly financial repression how arion classifies financial repression is seeking to impose negative real rates of returns on savers right well yeah it's a good story to follow up on financial repression or wealth confiscation again the ghetto model from the thirty's and fo
