Keiser Report

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the looming ‘financial war’ between the US and China and why it could lead China (and other nations) to develop other independent clearing systems to avoid the weaponized dollar.

In the second half, Max talks to Tyson Slocum about the curious case of a mysterious buyer for El Paso Electric and what it means in a day and age when more and more of public companies are going private. Are we in another period of robber barons? They also discuss the situation out west with PG&E in California.

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the former top trade negotiator for China claiming that dealing with Trump is great as he is so easy to read thanks to his non-stop tweeting. They also discuss Venezuela’s president holding up a bitcoin hard wallet just a year after the UK refused to return their gold. In the second half, Max talks to Dr. Michael Hudson of michael-hudson.com about repo markets, national debt, China, trade wars, and more.

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss Warren Buffett’s $128 billion cash pile. In the second half, Max talks to Professor Steve Keen about the rapidly climbing pile of U.S. debt now over $23 trillion and whether or not it matters.

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the crybabies on Wall Street begging for billions and living in constant fear while the rest of the economy continues to live and thrive in the real world without non-stop free money. The tale of these two economies are one where money velocity is zero for the top 1% with their over $30 trillion in wealth, at least $4.7 trillion of it sitting there as dead money in zero percent bank accounts. In the second half, Max continues his conversation with Gerald Celente of TrendsResearch.com about repo markets, 'balsamic smiles,' China’s gold buying and Mark Carney’s recent suggest that an IMF-backed synthetic cryptocurrency should replace the US dollar as a unit of account for global trade.

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the ‘technical debt’ timebomb threatening infrastructure across America: from water to sewage to electric and roads and bridges, it has been corporations, investors and taxpayers who have refused to pay to maintain the infrastructure over the decades. They also talk about Kingston, NY, the city preparing for economic collapse by going local.

In the second half, Max talks to Gerald Celente of TrendsResearch.com about life in Kingston as the movement toward localism continues to flourish. They also discuss the future for California where blackouts, homelessness and medieval diseases are on the rise.

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the honest words from Brad Sherman as he warns, yet again, that bitcoin threatens the fiat world controlled by the US dollar. They also discuss the US budget deficit and the stocks vs bonds puzzle. In the second half, Max chats to Joshua Scigala of Vaultoro about how the collapse of the MtGox bitcoin exchange inspired, so he and his brother created an exchange for gold to bitcoin and vice versa in order to #DropFiat. In the case of MtGox, the large fiat holdings held by the failed exchange were confiscated by liquidators, whereas gold is allocated, and thus safer for individual exchange customers in case of bankruptcy.

Max and Stacy discuss the ‘cash-burn machines’ of the ‘everything bubble’, as Wolf Richter calls them. These bonfires of cash have been gobbling up hundreds of billions of dollars in investor capital looking for greater fools to come along and throw some of their capital into money-losing enterprises like the so-called ‘tech unicorns’ and loss-generating fracking operations. Max continues his conversation with David Morgan of the Morgan Report about de-dollarization, the importance of clearing global trade through the NY Fed, and whether or not gold miners are finally back in a bull market.

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the fact that the massive daily NY Fed interventions in the repo market are getting worse and worse. What was meant to be small and temporary seems now to be huge and permanent. Investors are asking, “What is the Fed hiding?” They also look at the 23% decline in the U.S. Monetary Base since 2016 and ask whether or not it signifies anything. In the second half, Max talks to David Morgan of The Morgan Report about what he sees in the turmoil in the repo markets. They also discuss China’s gold purchases and whether or not he agrees with Alasdair MacLeod’s belief that China could announce they have more than 10,000 tons of gold.

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the ‘not-com’ bubble (as dubbed by Derek Thompson in The Atlantic).

In the second half, Max continues his conversation with Dmitry Orlov of Club Orlov about his views on the protests erupting around the world and his thoughts on central banks engineering negative interest rates and what it means for the future of the global economy.

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss a BBC journalist who visited rural Ohio to see what voters thought about the situation in Syria. Almost all of them said that they were too busy working multiple jobs and ‘too sleepy to concentrate.’ This reminds Stacy of the story of Warren Buffett calling then Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson in the middle of the night, during the 2008 financial crisis, to convince him to inject $250 billion directly into the banks. Paulson recalled that he was so sleepy he thought ‘Warren’ was his mother’s gardener. He got the bailout. In the second half, Max talks to Dmitry Orlov of Club Orlov about his views on anti-Russia hysteria and whether or not China will surpass the US as an economic power. Orlov believes China’s economic policy is what he calls ‘Stalinism 2.0.’
