Of our various programs has been mention of my hair so just so you know in case my hair is not perfect as it usually is this is because we do not have anybody to look at me from behind until the edit situation or anything i think i have a comment on the go ahead and put the comment because this is very poor its your show youre the man in the photo i think if if the concern is for hair i think the top and the pants are going to become louder as a way to distract attention from the hair but ive been observing women for a very very long time and that was my my observation i could be wrong now well move into the serious side of the program because we have to cover the fact that we have a Global Pandemic everybody is on lockdown max and i have been on lockdown since for 29 days many people are just in lockdown for the last 2 days or so so we have many many weeks apparently ahead to go and what we have noticed is a theme that we cover all the time on this show is that there is always a banker always a c. E. O. Or always a Corporation Ready to plunder whatever even in the good times but in the bad times especially so were. Seeing this passage of this 6 trial chilean dollar we dont know how many trillions actually well find out later some time remember back in 2008 when we 1st started recording it was like we want tarp 700000000000. 00 you know now its like trillions and youre like ok whatever nobody could even make sense of it now i want to look back to this tweet somebody sent which was reminding us of during the 2008 crisis when we have the oregon b. B. C. This is my earliest memory of max throwing worthless at the black hole of debt yeah well you know never feed a black hole of debt you know and this is what the strategy has been now for 15 years its actually goes all the way back down greenspan that there is a black hole of debt inside the economy because theres no accountability in the Banking Sector because of all the rules that were got no rhythm during the Clinton Administration then during the Bush Administration and during the Trump Administration all the all the checks and balances for Banking Industry types of been removed so the debt has been growing and the solution is to kill the black hole of debt not to feed the black hole of the so 6 trillion dollar bailout money is feeding the black hole of debt thats just more debt the National Debt in america is going to become more than 100 percent of g. D. P. Itll be 200 percent of g. D. P. Itll be 300 percent of g. D. P. And so the dislocation and the mispricing and the economic stress will only continue as long as the solution is to continue to do the same thing that created the problem and that is to create more debt part of why we are so vulnerable and why youre seeing the Global Economy have to shut down is we financial eyes the entire Global Economy and its all driven like private equity and one thing private equity does as you know from the eightys if you have any cash or any pension sitting on your Balance Sheet they will swoop down and take that and give it to themselves load you with that and take your assets so therefore we this is part of our issue. Have our corporations in america have very little cash on hand because either you have to go large like apple and Warren Buffett or youve got to have like just load up with debt because if you have cash theyre going to take it from you thats the thing about the debt but when you use a word like financialization what does that mean it means that anything that produces an income like lets say in the present business or in the Hospital Business or youre in some utility business anything that has a predictable income stream you can go to wall street and then ill pay you 102030 times the value of that asset that is generating that income in the form of debt and then you take that debt and you do a few things with it that are all equally bad one is you buy back your own stock thats fraudulent use be illegal and its stock market manipulation 2 is to make terrible investments because yes actually getting free money so you make mal investments and you invest in boondoggles and you invest in things that dont work if its the government you invest in wars that dont go anywhere but make a lot of people rich and the list goes on and off we have also been warning people that gold is that safe haven gold and bitcoin are safe havens most people think of that and say oh im going to make money im a speculator i want to make more fiats. What were talking about is like when this system falls apart when there is no more central bank when there is no more government as we know it that is when gold and picc line that they dont need those institutions to bequeath it with value then these are outside of the system that is falling apart and we saw all of this in the beginning of this week we saw all those 1st a huge move in gold on monday it was like 80. 00 which was the biggest dollar move in history and then the next day it was like 125. 00 but breaking records again so were going to see records being broke all the time as the system unwinds and you know of course were going to go into that right now with what might have happened because of course nobody knows a lot of these things about this pandemic in terms of the virus but also the consequences and the Financial System which is so complex nobody knows whats happening but there are some theories about what happened with gold earlier this week and i want to turn to this tweet from royce the bog of gold money dot com ive received some Important Information relating to whats going on in gold markets today some banks fail to deliver physical in the comix far f. P. As a result these banks suffered large losses will soon be announced theyve also decided to exit the comix market now there remains a big shortage in physical d and the comix to nominations so rumors are the comix will announce a forced mature and allow banks to deliver l b m a r s instead this should be announced imminently and then of course right after that that c. M. E. Did announce that youre allowed to accept l b m a bars which are 300. 00 ounces versus 100. 00 ounce bars at the c. M. E. Ever since we talked about across j. P. Morgan by so over the financial eyes world is over leveraged and they have made claims against gold and silver more than the exist than supply of gold and so over. And if the only reason why this doesnt crash already is because they settle all their trading in paper not in gold and silver but now with this new crisis the new chapter of this is really 2008 crisis park to call 2020 the problem with having too many claims anonymous gold is really hitting the markets in a serious way people want their gold now because they realize that the fear money world is collapsing and then they go to get their gold and these exchanges where the coal max or al b. M. A. Are saying no we dont have the gold actually relented out of here and so thats causing people to say want their gold even more than all the countries that have repatriated their gold ever since we told germany that they dont even have the gold on their own soil then they repatriated their gold now Everyone Wants to repatriate they want their gold back and so the physical price of gold is now zooming higher and the paper price soon will become a meaningless price its like the black market a lot of these countries were in the dollars or 1. 00 price and the local currency is another price like venezuela the venezuelan boulevard x. Price but the black market value dollars is another price same thing with physical gold versus paper gold what weve been saying should happen for years is happening the coal backs on the l. B. M. A. Are collapsing and thats what we need just so you know e. S. P. Means exchange for physicals so people were converting their paper into physical and the physical was not there you know this is part of the supply chain issue as well we see all over the world that the c. M. A. Did blame coronavirus of course this will be blamed for a lot of things and it could be true i mean the other supply issue of course were seeing and ive been monitoring this is looking for toilet paper on amazon we ourselves have plenty but ive been looking just to see because i was mocking people who are out hoarding thinking well america produces 90 percent of its toilet paper here we actually manufacture it thats something we actually manufacture and make sense because we have the u. S. Dollar. Same thing however 1011. 00 days now on amazon i have not seen a single roll of that will say you do wonder like wow like what what is going on in our supply chains and how complex a system this complex system by the way is being taken down by a very very simple coronavirus you know the flu is way more complicated than this coronavirus i think its like 4 strands of r. N. A. Its so simple as parent leave the code for it fits on one single page and this simple simple little tiny virus is taking down our hyper complex globalize just in time system yeah i think the cover 19 is written in perl and the flue is written in c. Plus plus or the other way around or the other way around you know some of this code is welcome im just going to be all kinds of comments i just told them. But you know this is a fulfillment of my lifes work one of my goals with my life goals is to crash the comics and theyll b. M. A. Thats been a life goal of mine for 30 years and so im so over 19 its tragic but i am achieving some life goals so of course all the chaos and panic wont get answers to this but the follow up question from royce the boss on this was the c. M. A p r is out there propaganda too important facts have been withheld one which banks were short 16000000000. 00 more physical than in c. M. E. Vault and required a bailout and 2 how well b. M. A. Metal in london be used to settle the livery in new york during coded shut down another sad day for socalled free market right the g. L. D. Which is the symbol for the Exchange Traded gold surrogate that you can participate in gold its tricky because youre not in the real you dont have a direct claim on that goal in the directs the the way that the prospectus is written is that you would could be saddled up with your demand in paper not actual physical gold sprott up in canada does have a need t. F. That is back with actual physical gold people can check that out and gold money of course you can buy it so one of the only places where i must say. There are investors but there it is where we are able to buy gold so they still have gold and regardless of the prices captaincy between physical and paper is really smart he saw this coming hes ready to go yeah well of course weve covered that before so i guess we head into the next time you see us will be day 32 of 1 the lock down and my hair may be very different and i might try cutting it or are dying it or Something Like that where nothing that would bounce off of there dont go away coming back right after this. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation full community. Are you going the right way or are you being led to. Direct. What is true what is faith. In a world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or a maybe in the shallowness. Thank. You welcome back to the kaiser report imax keyser time now to turn to an old friend of mine chris fenton and Los Angeles California hes got a book out right now its very timely its called feeding the dragon and sod the trillion dollar dilemma facing hollywood the n. B. A. And American Business chris welcome to the kaiser report thanks for having me back im a big fan and its nice to reconnect with you after all these years yeah its awesome man this pandemic is the best thing ever anyway chris fenton on october 4th 2019 they general manager of the Houston Rockets tweeted support for protesters and hong kong this resulted in billions of dollars of losses for the n. B. A. Which has 500000000 fans and china so tell us about what the n. B. A. Story tells us chris yeah well that was actually a very relevant day for b. I actually was at my kids soccer game when i when i saw the tweet come up on my phone i didnt even know who daryl morey was but i obviously know who the Houston Rockets are and knew their importance in the u. S. China cultural and commercial exchange and in particular to the Sports Industry because yao ming one of the most famous basketball players bought time and definitely the most famous ever out of china played for the Houston Rockets so when i saw that tweet come up by thoughts of myself oh my god thats thats going to be very painful for the n. B. A. What was interesting though is i had i didnt even ponder for a 2nd the ramifications that tweet was going to have here in the United States of america it was actually right as i was finishing my book too so i had i had the main mission of the book that i had written and it was pretty much and in the form it is today. Was to write about the fog of war of cultural and commercial exchange between the 2 superpowers and all the different colorful exciting dramatic crazy sort of events that occurred during that exchange and the importance of that exchange in regards to keeping the 2 superpowers in communication with each other so that we dont move into some sort of cold war scenario where were not talking to each other and were actually escalating tensions between each of us so when that tweet came out i remember thinking wow thats going to be a problem for the n. B. A. But actually plays really well in that the mattocks of my book which is hey the n. B. A. Has actually been playing this very well theyve really opened that market Michael Jordan and david stern david stern the former commissioner passed away recently and Michael Jordan obviously went there in the early ninetys really opened the market to American Culture in the culture of basketball which really opened the whole market to the Sports Industry which nike and several others followed into. So i thought wow thats thats sort of an interesting relevant to a bit to my book what happened was that it woke up the american populace to the fact that this smart innovative strategic way of bringing china into the fabric of the n. B. A. In order to open the market more more. With more vigor was actually seen by the American Public as a form of pandering to the Chinese Government and awesome so in a way playing the soft power game and objectives for the Chinese Government in a way that was causing American Values in american principles in American Security to be slightly compromised so. Then i had to go back through all of my writing and go wow was i doing that too and when i came away from it i said jeez i am complicit in this i didnt even think about it when we were in that fog of war back in those days and now its something that we all need to talk about it cant be that 3rd rail issue that shows side the Brooklyn Nets owner called it it has to be discussed and we need to talk about it seriously in regards to how we want to approach china moving forward so to put this into hollywood scriptwriting terms you have something at the midpoint on page 50 of the script where the main character is going through there are and transitions subtly toward the end of the 2nd act i think is the way he would put right the script on this chris fenton but you know whats interesting is that theres an old saying history is written by the victors and the losers write the songs. And so the buy point being that what youre describing is that if this isnt a new cold war and what were seeing in the pandemic is that china is responsible for a lot of the vital infrastructure products here in america like ventilators and things like that then there is a potential with americas number one export hollywood to be subjected to the same sort of revisionism that america has been guilty after many years in rewriting other countries histories and so the hollywood product i now with films like top gun which is obviously something from the reagan era which really launched really a certain american militarism around the world as being rewritten reshad rescript it to appease or to accommodate this huge chinese audience so we talk about soft power is are we on the ice saying that americas number one projector of soft power the hollywood film is at risk now of losing its ability to shape the global narrative in americas favor Chris Fenton Hollywood does have a lot of power in regards to helping promote western democracy in the barriers there are. But how you would also has to be very careful how they approach each individual market in a way that does enough spend them and actually creates relevancy and puts the wind at their back in the back of the content that theyre bringing there so they can monetize it well. The way hollywood has approached china up until this point i would argue has been wrong and i have been a part of that i am fully complicit very selfaware and have self reflection on this that said we do have a real opportunity both politically and financially in regards to the Chinese Market politically in a way where if we can. Can you a smarter form of what we have been doing in bringing American Products and services into that market we will by default slowly diffuse soft power into that market that brings some sort of infiltration of western democracy into it whether that is how he would movies Hollywood Television shows and or tame and content from books to video games to the educational system the cleavage and educational system here in the United States to even automobiles everything we get in there thats a product or a Service Helps out initiate it financially its obvious everything we get in there into the Fastest Growing market i mean lets set aside the kobe 1000. 00 issue right now but the Fastest Growing market normally and will be for the next generation is china so for shareholders for investors for management for everybody working at various companies to provide products and services if we can continue opening our market its very smart financially so theres a political goal and 8 financial goal and both of those are things we cant neglect or ignore because i know the amount of china hawks out there is not supplying daily right now especially with the covert 1000 situation and quite frankly ive gotten a lot more hawkish stew but we cant let that get us to a point where we decide to completely separate lets talk about censorship because i believe thats what youre referring to what theyre mad kulpa talking about there was a slippery slope where you allowed in hollywood now you personally about the hollywood industry was allowing far chinese censorship and revisionism on the product and these are Artistic Products hollywood films are works of art. And they should be above censorship and that way but why. More and more of the distribution model are on electronic platforms and streaming Start Talking about google were talking about apple were talking about other high tech corporations that have been complicit and completely in bed with the Chinese Government and censoring Chinese People from having free speech and anonymous what would we would describe as a dry dry kone and matter and that has spilled over into the hollywood product how are you going to divorce yourself from apple and google and these other Big Tech Companies that are streaming the product that people are because a lot of screens of china i understand that but they streaming model is really the golden goose with this they and others now banking huge on streaming and thats dictated by the Big Tech Companies and the Big Tech Companies have established their their place in this and theyre ok with censoring chris hi going to get around that citrus thing i mean right now the u. S. Streaming the the companies that are big and us streaming really arent streaming that might show or theyre at the moment that thats all pretty much monopolized by 3 big. Companies whether its 10 cent baidu or alley baba. So this streaming situation i mean even netflix is not in that market right now in fact i would argue netflix has said sort of you know what why are we even bothering with it and theyve continued to make very sort of push the on the local non censored for the china market content mainly because theyve said you know what were not going to get in there so lets go back to the basics of what we are as a filmmaking friendly environment the Bigger Companies that are trying to get in there the Big Tech Companies that youve talked about are the ones that are in there that are trying to get more in there yeah theyre all look were. All complicit in this and quite frankly theres no way that we can get a better more strategic innovative approach to china unless we all do it together in harmony or in some sort of collective way to do it because quite frankly the chinese public does love the products and services that these companies that youre mentioning have and bring to that market so there will be an underlying pressure for the government to relent in regards to some sort of stronger action by a collective but going at it one company at a time or even like the way congress was trying to get Le Bron James to speak up on behalf of hong kong protesters or whatever it is i mean thats just sacrificial lamb strategy that will take out one or 2 companies because they did the right thing while everybody else continues doing the same so then the best picture award d at the Academy Awards this year went to a south korean fell and it was in the south korean language and. I believe there are subtitles to it and President Trump reacted quite negative to relate to that suggesting that according to him america 1st policy we wouldnt shouldnt have anything but an american language film an american film winning the best picture at the Academy Awards i do see some reciprocity Going Forward suck trying to have released the film and america that for trade america and have highly negative fashion it was out ok or should that be censored press i mean were a democracy that defends freedom of speech i dont think we should be looking just because china is acting in a way that is not appropriate for democracy doesnt mean that we should follow their lead that just puts us in the same boat is as their and i would say we should defend the right for any sort of content that we feel is worthy of the of the film. Community and worthy of audiences to see regardless of subject matter to be allowed in theaters and screenings really like it always has been regard less of the policies that china has the policies that china has we need to approach collectively we need to talk about him out loud they cant be quiet we cant be secretly you know censoring der versions of scripts or whatever because we feel like its going to spend them we need to bring it out of the open and we need to do it in unison with other industries and other companies president had a great script a 3rd act mean some worked out thanks for being on the kaiser report hey max any time and happy to speak about any of this stuff so thank you so much and stacy great to meet you finally and really enjoy everything you guys are doing and thank you all right gray well thats going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and Stacy Herbert want to thank our guest chris fans and hes the author of the fascinating must read feeding the dragon now it does not star if youd like to get in touch with the.
