Transcripts For RT Keiser Report 20240713

A billionaire from committing serial fraud and theyve been you know had to face the music many many times so i dont understand why theyre singling out mexico it seems like crime pays well this is a local think tank and theyre looking around and wondering why is the 1st year in a decade that the economy the g. D. P. Has shrank and theyre saying well perhaps if we cut down on all these headlines on these stories of cartels beheading people but yet youre mentioning that there is a crime wave that goes on in america and perhaps if we got rid of all the jamie diamond taking all the money perhaps member the velocity of money chart we showed perhaps there would be more velocity of money but just in terms of ending that crime if you end the crime if they end the Violent Crime on the streets you know what is there in the world except for a few system and financialization so and weve also covered that like with boeing or Union Pacific all the. Is normal like manufacturing sort of jobs that are supposed to build things all they do is extract and then destroy and they dont invest in the economy here this guy is saying well if we just get rid of the Violent Crime then people are going to mess here but nobody in the us nobody invest its all speculation and by nationalization hollowing out of assets i remember during the 2008 liquidity crisis when credit froze the only actual money available for banks to keep the lights on came from mexican drug cartels it was part of the mexican drug cartels and Italian Mafia yes they did say there we covered that with the un itself there organized Crime Division says that that was the money flowing especially through europe but again i mean obviously crime getting rid of crime and Violent Crime is certainly a very good thing tens of thousands of people are murdered every single year here of course there are several big banks we wont mention them that have paid fines for participating in financing and laundering money for those gangs but speaking of crimes i want to turn back to the United States because Lloyd Blankfein has been in the news intervening in the elections these 2 tweets are just a great story about all that is america right now leading into this election where the dons of these mafias run everything like the Lloyd Blankfein and they think everybody else is a deplorable so he said if democrats go on to nominate sanders the russians will have to reconsider who to work for to best screw up the u. S. Sanders is just as polarizing as trump and will ruin our economy and doesnt care about our military if im russian i go with sanders this time around he is the nerve to say that it is sanders who will ruin the economy not my credit default swaps i remember they there were emails no one on in Goldman Sachs where they knew for a fact that those Mortgage Backed securities they were selling to granny to pensioners they knew for a fact they were sad. Acts of bleep and they said it so so they defrauded they stole from these old women that crashed the economy the widescale fraud crashed the economy right Lloyd Blankfein over a Goldman Sachs when he was running the place they knowingly created securities that had no in no bally whatsoever in the secondary market they were synthetic securities that they got caught peddling to their own customers and then they made negative bets against their own customers knowing that when their customers realized that they had been sold these synthetic non entity securities that they would be in financial trouble and so they shorted those companies and they made money on the collapse of the companies who they sold the stuff to cause the collapse of the companies thats number one so Lloyd Blankfein is a no moral position to lecture anybody about anything furthermore this whole business about blaming russians by americans is getting really pathetic because heres a guy whos effectively trying to dehumanised a whole group of people slavic people in this case this is remarkably ironic coming from Lloyd Blankfein lets go back to his tweet because again he said that that sanders doesnt care about the military but again Goldman Sachs pays less than 12 percent tax rate Lloyd Blankfein himself i dont know what he pays but im sure we know for a fact according to the i. R. S. That the billionaires pay less taxes than the working class there are loads of people in america who are the elite they pay very little taxes relative to everybody else but they love spending our money on military and big wars and budgets like that so again im going to turn to another tweet response to this from chris our nod hes written is an amazing book about the deplorable is traveling across america talking to deplorable people that are outside the you know the front row class the people like Lloyd Blankfein and Hillary Clinton and everybody on m. S. N. B. C. And. And he used to be a banker and im not sure if it was that Goldman Sachs but it was one of the wall street banks there if im russian i would go with hawking synthetic c. D. O. Is to blow up the u. S. Economy and screw over homeowners like this is so obvious it should be so transparent that the fact that Lloyd Blankfein gets put on c n n r m s n b c to say this sort of stuff to propagandize the americans and confuse them and divert them from the fact that he himself helped destroy the economy is remarkable and the deplorable as i think know that hes the one more responsible than anybody else in the world and they remember that our Founding Fathers said that the the destruction of america would come from within never from without and these are the people from within it imploded the economy dont forget that after the collapse of the soviet Union America sent in a whole brigade of wall street bankers to liberalize the economy and created a whole new class of kleptocratic oligarchs that have now under the Current Administration its taken almost 20 years to you know fixed up problem that was pretty much created by american bankers theres one thing to just say ok we need to stop crime and you do need to stop crime but there has to be a plan as well and you cant just be to let in these american bankers who are going to financial eyes and hollow out your economy chris are not then continues there is probably no single event more responsible for current voter discontent than the financial crisis and tarp and lloyd was right there at the center of it amazing but hes pointing out that Lloyd Blankfein was way more responsible for trump being elected then anybody else any nein there is no weaponized i mean that could possibly do more than what Lloyd Blankfein did with the collapse of the economy his also paying Hillary Clinton 500000. 00 to give one of the most tedious boring speeches in the history of of american speech giving and she got paid 500000. 00 twice for 2 speeches to Goldman Sachs so. Again he helped her lose that was part of the many reasons why she lost many many reasons for her humiliating loss against trump precrisis Goldman Sachs the manager of a system that allowed for rampant Insider Trading and market manipulation then they got caught on the short side of the market and were facing collapse so they decided to become a regular bank overnight and get all the protections of a regular bank overnight and get a bill up overnight from the likes of the american taxpayer remember it was hank paulson who had been the former c. E. O. Of Goldman Sachs and they mentioned tarp he gave them inside information that tarp was coming so they got to front on that and thats why a boy blankfein became a billionaire for running the utility of a of a bank you know Goldman Sachs is now a bank not a hedge fund essentially but again talking about this trying to propagandize the americans that is not the elites we the elites have and destroy the economy it must be somebody out there thousands and thousands of miles away who doesnt speak english and but he has weaponized means that hes the one doing this heres a final tweet here about the gallup poll gallup 60 percent of americans say they are better off now than when Trump Took Office compared to just 36 percent who say they are not that is higher than during the reelection campaigns of obama george w. Bush clinton or h. W. Bush 60 percent of independents say theyre better off than 3 years ago when this fact happens when trump wins reelection Lloyd Blankfein will say that he had nothing to do with this that is somebody else will find some reason and theyll be the ones on the television not understanding why they lost and the economy is still destroyed because the crime wave was not stopped just like the think tank said about mexico that we need to stop the crime well they havent stopped the crime in america and will continue to get these populist elite dont like yellow line stop trying to dehumanize you. Fellow american all right were going to take a break and when we come back much more coming your way. The Russian State Television Propaganda Machine propaganda outlet propaganda tools we are getting information for. You can change the world tomorrow.

To be. Confined within 4 gray walls he fights using hot turn on to help him to leave death row. Welcome back to the kaiser report imax keyser time now to turn to John Ackerman you know were in mexico city so of course you know check in with John Ackerman John Ackerman lets just get a kind of a 30000 foot look down into the whats the politics down ive got a new leader whats happening welcome back to mexico mix oh my pleasure you know stay away from me and that long yeah and you know im your man in mexico so what youre my man. So you know we got past information that secret information oh yeah you brought for me through from moscow right yeah ive got a whole secret cache of information. Out of make the best borsch like youve never tasted did you see the recent news that the real russian agent in mexico turns out to be a 1000000 little so yeah tell me about the guy he was the head of pemex he was the head of pemex from and he could bring in yet the corrupt head opinion there of the mix. Took in over 9000000. 00 in bribes from autographed and when the new government came in started to investigate him he escaped went to moscow 1st and then they discovered him in i think my law my life i live my life this is a very important achievement of the new government in terms of bringing accountability because the Pemex Oil Company has been a very central part of Mexican National economy but also has been a source of incredible corruption specifically in that in the previous government so this lad im glad that you were able to root this. Bad actor out problems very happy to finally theres a government in mexico thats willing to step in and root out these bad actors exactly like i was asked to john you know their government is doing great what else is a still government doing the new government is trying to was really put back on its feet the mexican economy. This been new liberalism as you know really taken its toll so whats taking place all you already theres what else neo liberalism thats. What i dont quite yet but im not sure what it is what it must look like its similar its fascinating because mexico really arrived late to this you know progressive wave which hit south america you know its you know i believe you havent as well like with a lot of. Argentina brazil had this you know pink wave and mexico was just you know in the same old same old and all of a sudden when those countries are going back to the right now all the sudden mexico has turned turn left in argentina as well and so what mexico is trying to do right now is you know really sort of pick up the pieces 1st this case of corruption and pemex is not the only case the corruption there in the previous government was just out of hand so we need to sort of recuperate the power of the government to regulate the economy and the open road has said that he what he wants to do is repeat what the what his did in that and then 1000 century but at the what a separate church and state really radical mexico i probably has the most radical separation of church and state even more than france and i would look to as he wants to do is separate public and private you know respect the private sector but recuperate the honesty and integrity of the Public Sector thats his Central Project and this new deal thats been worked out the u. S. Amsi and to the place of nafta it is a fact or is it significant and very interesting because historically the left as it was very much against nafta right this Free Trade Agreement which is actually you know in the favor of the transnational corporations to have free exploitation of the Different Countries but nafta is now sold you know it was passed and in 9293 came into effect in 94 its now been there for so long that its really has integrated the 2 economies in a subordinate way mexico of course has been an exploitation of mexico by the United States but its so theyre still interlinked economies now to further up sort of come in now and say no. We want to end nafta would have been really irresponsible to had sent our economy into a tell tale dive and nosedive and it wouldve really made it much more difficult for books or order to do his social programs because the other side and addition to combating corruption hes you know now that 910000000 new. Scholarships being handed out throughout the country to old people to students to Indigenous People to most of the marginal sectors and so what he has said is well lets you know rethink nafta hes worked on the new agreement which was actually worked on mostly by the pena ministration because he respected those those agreements and you know basically in the negotiations the next government. Stopped trump from turning this into a worse agreement for for mexico and still from my personal point of view continues to. You know privileges United States corporations an economy over mexico continues to through woods you know big corporations over the working class but for instance theres been a side effect very Positive Side effect in that mexico has been forced to pass a new labor legislation to reform its constitution actually to be. You know accepted by the labor unions United States this new agreement and this is actually created a new scenario for free and Fair Elections within the unions in mexico something we havent had for a long time and so this might create you know a new wave of labor activism and strength of the working class in mexico which could be a very good secondary effect of the atomic right now you mentioned an interesting cycle there a moment ago youre saying that in latin america you had lived to the left in various countries bolivia and others and now that theyve gone and mexico so much static and now theyve gone right certainly in brazil theyve got a new what you could call right wing leaders. Up there and that mexico is now got embraced a left a leftist government but this is kind of a cycle in latin america weve seen a long time it goes from the hard right to the to the hard left back and forth for a long long time the left comes into power and a lot of money is printed. Social programs are in acted and people get fed up because they feel like they are needs to be a return to some kind of work ethic and so they bring in a hard liner and then a hard liner is too hard and this cycle seems to be rotating in latin america for decades and decades as it is this just another chapter in that cycle or is it different this time john i think is different. Is the wise man on this because i support him if you actually look at what hes doing hes learned from his experience he hasnt been irresponsible fiscally or even monetarily hes not printing money as you said his inflation is actually lower now than it was with banging at the guys who printed the money the real populist the irresponsible ones were the priest those were the new liberals because they need all this extra cash to buy votes they didnt have political didnt see look i dont know who has political didnt he said i want president what about the you have to do this idea of socialism because it in america and in and yet there is like corporate socialism already probing that goes to the corporations top corporations and then theres this populist socialism more money printing goes into social programs etc and so but nevertheless neither one of these seems to work and doesnt work and i states either we now have an and trance kleptocracy states and its a lot of money printing and they want to print more money to keep rising so in the current government in mexico. It seems that why not or why not just a return to sound money thats whats up in a minute so thats why. Very wise hes been very pragmatic responsible in this area hes not you know the peso is actually strengthened theres no inflation one of the place that has less inflation than before and the way in which hes getting money for social programs is one what he calls republican austerity hes taken back the name of austerity austerity was used by the neo liberals to as it is. A mask for a cover up you know taking away social programs right it wasnt really austerity austerity what is austere being all steers being you know with all privileges being humble being honest and recuperating that original idea of austerity so hes cutting back at government but not Government Social programs increasing social programs and cutting back at social government bureaucracy its incredible how the new liberals who are supposedly against the state ballooned to created all sorts of different new Public Officials card up their friends and their family members to do nothing and so hes cutting out that hes ending tax evasion hes not increasing taxes interestingly enough not to talk about tax thing and hes not increase hes promised promised to not increase taxes but just to increase tax evasion because mix will bring in about 17 percent 18 percent of g. D. P. For public income and of that 56 percent is from pemex a really taxes its like 13 percent 14 percent and on the books are much higher so if you actually just charge and fiscal paradises right tax evasion you can actually bring up the sink and thats whats happening just a few days ago. Had a big dinner and the National Palace with big businessmen and which he invited them to contribute voluntarily for instance for to pay back pay off this incredibly austin taisha ridiculous an. Airplane which had been purchased by calderon an opinion yet though with no anybody who wants to buy in the market because its so ridiculous then they says we came up with a spell. So plan of issuing Lottery Tickets and hes getting the wealthiest oligarchs of mexico to chip in with his millions of dollars for that so hes finding other way to bring in the money without falling into these. Other strategies by the government in the past when such a break the cycle that we were talking about there so the the the top wealth feels like theyre getting squeezed and then they get become very active politically aggressive. And all kinds of nefarious things happen bad words i mean sharp strategies for instance right that you know the the soft attacks on on regimes so he fails you fail and i guess he feels that there is a way to wind through this and get oligarchs on board to some degree ok now i mean just broadly speaking this was kind of what putin faced when he number in the Russian Federation he had to he had to de masculine you know marx but in the same without actually throwing the country into greater chaos exactly so here we are almost 20 years later and you have g. D. P. Is. Life expectancy is up with social metrics of social well being are higher and so its not a model i mean when he look at that as a model thats a good point in a model i dont like that for trolling the global media. Putin has done a great job of getting having his populist behind him as well right now he has a very popular oil rating store that does well 71 percent support groups or today i think this is somewhere some ok over deftly a touchy feely guy that takes Economy Class and hes a like a furby doll. Whereas putin obviously has a persona that is the man on the horse kind of riding in and taking charge and its a different persona but the objective seemed to be the same i wouldnt do that russia is the model for mexico but i do think that. There is a theres new space for experimentation today in the world but. You know the really existing common is around a long time ago 30 years wave the fall the berlin wall but now the new the option of new liberal capitalism is also dead and trump is has just sunk any idea that United States are in the liberals and could be an example for for anything does you dont get growth you dont get a quality you dont get peace you know it was all before its and so. Any support is idea right and so theres a real fastening space for creating new alternatives i think that the hopes are that is is is turning into even though he does not travel around the world trying to you know go to the big you know geneva on the Big International forums but i think that what were doing in mexico is setting an international there that mark guy here in the media do you know what talent land is talent land of them heard of you know not just the last 70000 people from all over a lot america get together in guadalajara for a check and media boom camp for days and its this was good this is the future this is where the next growth is going to come from this generation so this is like a woodstock meets you know microsoft campus right i mean sounds wonderful its huge i mean this is the type of thing that when i would think i was corporations control the media its totally decentralized as you know hundreds and hundreds of sponsors but its mostly user generated user one more work will be there will be speaking there and you know talking about what we always talk about the return of hard money sound. Now ive become around to have a more positive view on pickle and i think youve been somewhat lukewarm on the idea thats not some fall to fly the all in all the big chorus from back skies are so real so that means they have to do a little bit i dont even know you havent committed my yes just i 1st got on 1st going to buy a Lottery Ticket for the for the airplane the president. Thats my 1st that. And vestment but you know you might convince me im. All right you know look even better at a 100000 a coin than it does now as to how much how much how much money have you met off a bit because. Its just its unbelievable so why dont you buy the president ial airplane i try not to be ostentatious but i did think about you know i was going to play because you know you have to trump is offered to Justin Trudeau has offered it to the heads of saudi arabia and on 125000000 i put it exactly but i would like peanuts for you yeah but i know i like a good deal like anybody with well i dont like to overpay right john weve got to go but thanks very much max and honor as always be so youre our best guy in mexico. Well thats going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser in states you know what i think our guest John Ackerman if you want to reach us on twitter its kaiser reports next time. In the United States president ial candidates debate the future of the u. S. And the world. Max keiser and stacy hubbards dig into the burning questions of this election cycle. Every week. Student debt trade was money universal basic. And more. Running this sunday exclusively on our. I 1st heard about wiki leaks. From the helicopter footage in iraq. And i think it down to the people who do you mean and i mean u. S. Military who have never forgiven him for it this guys a traitor a treasonous and and he has broken every law the United States illegally shoots out of the u. S. Really the story to have. Independent journalist a guy with his computer exposing you is a lot of crimes and to a global audience. The idea of developing an anonymous. And applying it to a Media Organization is what he makes that was the 1st. I didnt the toy interest because he would be for a short while world for him and room one of the worlds most powerful news organizations put your expander founder Julian Assange in the sun over the sun and there was a great deal of jealous in the mainstream towards him particularly why wont he be more like off that you seem. Sneering feces on the walls. We have julia in solitary confinement in the prison for terrorists away keep the house alive in person the person. I dont want to see him die in a prison. And i think thats what hes facing. Freedom of speech is one of the pillars of democracy and also one that in the wist is perceived as being in greatest peril with the left claiming that its become a vehicle coopted by the right to spread hate and the right to riding the list as sinister snowflake sense its just what are the boundaries of free speech. Us media claims russia is backing both the republicans and the democrats in the 2020 president ial election so Anonymous Sources kick off another alleged Russian Meddling Campaign stateside.
