This week we look at Nelson Rockefeller and his time in U.S politics. We briefly cover the Rockefeller wealth and will take a longer look at that on a future episode. On this episode we dive into the policies of the republicans of this brief era and how some of them were more progressive than what democrats propose today. For this discussion we are joined by special guest Tobi Olowe the host of Impressions of America. At one point to take the focus off the US we spend a moment to discuss the UK’s Priti Patel. Enjoy! The following was mentioned by Tobi to add to our description.

I think listeners should consider the biography On His Own Terms by Richard Norton Smith. For the early CIA stuff although we didn't get into it as much but Gerard Colby's Thy Will on Rockefeller political interests in Latin America. For the Rockefeller family perhaps the PBS documentary. Impressions of America is a history podcasts about US History since the 1960s. We have covered key conservatives including Nixon, Reagan, William F Buckley, Ayn Rand and their effects on American life.

Join us as we get into the weeds of Eurodollars, the Libor rigging scandal during the 2008-9 financial crisis, and the Libor replacement known as SOFR (the "secured overnight financing rate"). SOFR is supposed to be safe against manipulation that happened to Libor; but is it? We'll look at the mechanics of how Wall Street and London City bankers could still ruin wholesale credit for everyone, again, on Grubstakers

We were thrilled to interview David Enrich, the Business Investigations Editor at the New York Times and the author of 'Dark Towers Deutsche Bank, Donald Trump, and an Epic Trail of Destruction'. On this episode we discuss the odd deaths plaguing the banking industry, he explains mirror trading and how it relates to money laundering, and he answers our questions on what may happen to Deutsche Bank moving forward. His book is an insightful read on the inner mischief of one of the most shady members of the finance community.

This week we return to our multi part profile of the infamous Deustche Bank. This episode looks at the 50 years after world war 2 and the beginning of this century. We continue to discuss the Nazi gold they stole from the teeth of people to fund the will of the Nazi’s, to the multiple connections to the CIA over the years and lastly the acquisition of Bankers Trust that would add to the hooligans of corruption empowered by the bank that funded the construction of Auschwitz. Also, at one point you can hear Andy’s cat.

In the first of our multi-part series on financial behemoth Deutsche Bank, we discuss the background of the bank that funded the Nazis, Jeffrey Epstein, and America's big beautiful president, solvency be damned.

We'll continue to explore the massive house of cards that is Deutsche bank later in the week over at https://www.patreon.com/grubstakers
