Now are the roots to be found in postings because. I know youve been writing about the fact that we keep emphasizing Household Spending rather than innovation and progress and the money supply may not be the most important thing here it may be money allocation as someone from the Chinese Communist but anyway yes i think that is exactly the problem there isnt really a supply story problem theres a demand side problem the demand is coming from speculative speculative type demand so theres lots of demand from households to get mortgages to buy houses house prices keep going on as demand from investors to buy Financial Assets but there isnt enough them on from businesses to invest in innovation in Capital Investment paying my wages group think they think that entrepreneurs Small Businesses big corporations they will be investing. Its all about the private sector a little do it yeah i think it is about to do that i think the theory of quantitative easing is basically that if the central bank the safe assets the Government Back on the some of the Corporate Bonds that are held by Institutional Investors as there is Institutional Investors will then bodb own slightly risky of bones from the real economy from medium sized and those firms will then use that money to invest in Capital Investment productive activity in reality where there isnt enough demand in the economy what youve seen is those investors just buying other types of Financial Assets buying up real estate in Capital Cities around the world which is. Flat exactly which is why you know young people cant buy bar flats anymore just in london us and european cities as well increasingly this is the religious this great faith because the economists. The this is the private sector so part of it i think is a lack of confidence in the potential of the state in the potential of government to actually do useful stuff to actually direct the economy in a way that is socially desirable you know what we need is a kind of Green New Deal approach for example where we look to create decent well paid jobs in the sectors where we actually really need new job safely in the middle and if you know because of the days issues i think you should use as weve had since the thirtys homewards it has been the state doesnt be the guess or the evidence suggests that actually when Central Banks and ministries of finance collaborate and coordinate their activities the government says were going to do this big expansion in infrastructure were going to spend this on r. And d. And the central bank finances support financing through its Monetary Policy has credit guidance policies that direct lending into those sectors most needed then you tend to have more success. Well outcomes not everywhere of course theres always exceptions theres always those involved ways in your south american failed states but in countries with mature institutions and democracies thats not generally the case well they know they even lie about Interest Rate in the city of london as we know from reliable until say a german call wouldnt government starts nationalizing everything and Green New Deal. Policy doesnt look likely to change given what these he did do you think it may be at the loose local level that people can start creating recreating in the economy say with the brixton pound which we have to explain yeah yeah i think we should certainly be encouraging local and regional efforts to get more control over economies i think what we really do need actually is more regional banks actually say banks hes focus is not the world as we have in the u. K. And big banks tend to want to make big loans they dont tend to want to support for example Small Businesses transaction costs are just too high the risks are too high theyd much rather make big planes with. As the backing is the collateral but actually in the act that doesnt help create a more productive economy it just drives up house price and so so i think we need to you know the german model is quite a good one they have a big state Investment Bank there k f w sitting behind regional public banks that actually then lend to me and middle sized companies to support innovation to support new kinds of products so that would be a more interesting model in scotland that have Just Launched a national Investment Bank we advised nicholas sturgeon on actually i am a p. P. England the u. K. Doesnt have such an institution actually one of the few advanced economies where we dont have a big state Investment Bank. Thank you well in the United States 2020 democrat president ial contender tools he gathered holds a town hall today in iowa after the d. N. C. Refused to allow her to further. Theres debate in texas not one mention of President Trump firing his 3rd National Security adviser john bolton was made at the democrat debate but joining me now via skype from california is former senator and twice us president ial candidate mike gravel senator thanks for coming back on the show so youve called it a wonderful news for a safer world what do you make of her d. N. C. Media are already criticizing dont jump for sacking john bolton as the 27 National Security adviser Joe Scarborough on m. S. N. We see owned by the same own as a c. N. N. And sky news backers of biden and warrigal saying you know bolton wouldnt cozy up to americas enemies like the president would thats why he went oh its an embarrassment of the democratic leadership it really is bolton is was probably the most significant warmonger in recent history and should be able to give him many kudos when when he was fired and you just fired not resigned and saying that this will be. His image for quite a while because bolton was on the verge of creating an invasion of europe. His response will for our attitude towards russia and china. Force north korea. And what he was appointed boy what it was that you very best nix it as a mystic situation well now the least fired is going to limit the possibility of donald trump setting off a war by accident he will do it on purpose hes not only a warmer a shell a lot of other problems but thats not one of them and sold it the democrats would with foreigners like i say its worse than the barest religious shows you that the likelihood. By then you get selected or a conventional immigrant gets elected were going to be able to see the same ole same ole where democrats are just as interesting. As republicans because bolton is a popular around the world we had mike flynn his predecessor on this show actually didnt seem to want to war on russia so youre saying theyre basically we should be more confident the Trump White House wouldnt want to go to war with well there is an economic war already against Venezuela Iran cuba syria russia you think that were in safe i have well i think we are very safe when you say theres a war just of course of the sanctions are kind of war that killed just as many people as the violent wars. But now of the are trying to make a deal with anybody it is ridiculous theres no we have no right to go sanction anybody. But bolton was at 10 initiating a war in the fact that hes no longer there and pompei o is just there and then t. Shirt and youll see and do anything that trump wants but the land is a truck going to war at this point and he. Personally and to putin is is should be applauded and also that north korea mention the democrats anyone who despise john bolton as National Security advisor they shouldnt think that joe biden. Or maybe i dont know maybe even Elizabeth Warren let alone kemal arris of the democrats for the 2020 the elections necessarily will be different on Foreign Policy when it comes to wars. I grew up there only i think of the only change we have to end the decent Foreign Policy is for early senatorship elected and told she get her to be selected a slice president then will be kerry and she to reverse the course of our desire to be able inquire youve shut down your 2020 campaign and as you said youre endorsing money saunders for the president of the elections next year we know from wiki leaks what the democrats did to try and destroy Bernie Sanders chances last time around in favor of Hillary Clinton youre still supporting Bernie Sanders now but you dont think the d. N. C. Is going to do the same thing so yes they try i dont move to be successful but no question by the leadership in their own party is not supporting Bernie Sanders and also told she cared because both of them represent. A name it was schecter the mills are just your complex and i know the job she ever going to try and stay in from the debates she was she was she did the process just the way they shoot me when we go. And she has to say proper number of donors. Over. 1200. What happened to her happened to me is that in my name i mean sure my need peer in a number of polls of another can drive a c. Its not a good driver see about all the secrets as im just going to briefly ask you given the announcement from netanyahu about the annexation of yet more land illegally under International LawBernie Sanders is tweeted against israel for the proposed further an accession of the west bank do you think you expect c. N. N. s n. B. C. Talking heads that alone d. N. C. The establishment clintonite obama right type people to accuse him of antisemitism. No because bernie is of course jewish and so you can accuse him and he should not say anything that would really be close to enter the soldiers in the bush when youre talking about the you know youre talking about one of the 8 criminals in the whole tendency of leaders will. Mention prayer but i just told the. Young loses the election and there will be end of him because the persecution and the crimes that hes. Coming back but the 1st hes got a little and i hope so that as a thank you after the break did Boris Johnson oversee the slashing of resources dedicated to tackling the greatest threat to planet earth Climate Change while serving as britains top diplomat we speak to the man who was his chief environmental advisor to david came. To him going underground. In a world of big partisan mock things and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. The rise the best if she warn you to buy you can i do the dishes at the bottom or late teens and you miss beecham you see me we blew true. President about that come up and when you guys e. T. S. Will be home when you need any bags without infringing balls. A lot of you will see as if i its about 2 kids each other both. By. 5 days doing. Time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability very important. Transition to sustainable transport sustainability. The more equitable and sustainable. They claim their production is completely hamas. Companies want us to feel good about products while the damage is being done far away and this is this going to an even and. Welcome back this week scotlands high school. Unlawfully shut down Britains Parliament on tuesday the u. K. Supreme court will scrutinize whether the new Prime Minister misled the queen will arguably johnson as previous when it comes to preventing scrutiny over nothing less than global catastrophe johnsons former advisor and u. K. Special representative for Climate Change david king joins me now so david welcome to going underground so im going to say surely just sell with i mean you get a sense of the climate repair in cambridge operating time to celebrate britain is the 1st country in the world to the clear. Climate emergency. Does britain have reason to be proud about itself well i think britain has been playing a leadership role on action on Climate Change since the year 2000 and believe its fair to say without britains actions the Paris Agreement in 2015 wouldnt have happened just to back that up. I was chief scientific adviser with blair from 2000 for 8 years and subsequently i was brought back into government by cameron during the Coalition Government period i was given 165 climate it has been embassies around the world you know the country had full time climbed it is a climate always in different diplomatic out proceedings for the best was literally around the world but we could move them around so i signed 3 agreements with china for example and we moved 22 climate attaches into our embassy in china and the like are they talk to good china is in the middle of expanding one of the biggest Environmental Programs in World History they dont look about you as being to any blair favors for the iraq war all the rest of it not as a loon for not environmentally as my reputation in china in many african countries in india i would say is very very high people listen to Scientists Say blair and Cameron Cameron of course famously you posed with the huskies to the lecture the body they would you pay tribute to both of those early deciders with the environment and then comes may and this is what youre referring to the Prime Minister may says britain will not only reduce its emissions by 80 percent by 2050 but we will head for a net 0 emissions by mid century 1st country in the world to stay and then we have this statement we have a Climate Emergency absolutely right. I would say we need to be very very worried about the future of humanity if we dont get a grip on the state of Climate Change as it is today and of course you mention those on voices and you are on the record for saying the board strong didnt know when he was foreign secretary about the fact that most of the more than 5 that we lost not try it we lost 100 of the time and it has shays during Boris Johnsons period as foreign secretary although it was the head of the Diplomatic Service who did this when i saw him he said he didnt even know this had happened the reason im saying they went 5 they were redeployed which is the Biggest Department in the British Government today. Suddenly youve got a department soaking up people from other ministries who from Climate Change will when discussing important things with their counterparts in the embassies around the world going into brics that that is what happened to be done will saying they went apps repairing for yes no deal. Thats not to say that Boris Johnson did you knew that he knew that this was happening and to stand i mean he is on the record and said he said good god i didnt know that when you told him that theyd be redeployed well i think i think the real question is and i have another interaction with the Prime Minister in his role as mayor a few weeks into his period as mayor he called me and asked me to Carry Commission into the future of the Thames Estuary airport hes in there on the record as saying he wants. Me to. And i said. I know what you think you know i had proposed the development of 2 asymmetric islands in the Thames Estuary so that if there was a tsunami coming up the. These 2 items would destroy the tsunami and instead of london so the Thames Estuary would be where the tsunami would come in that would build up force up the Thames Estuary and destroy. Now this was a proposal then several people looked at the map and my goodness we could put at least 6 runways almost 2 and forest picked it up and said we need a new hat. And i said but if its a nominee does hit this we lose our ip. The net result of all of this was i said i would be prepared to chair that commission but i was prepared to Cherry Commission to look into the future development of the Thames Estuary but he announced to the press to us you were going to. So i stepped put his arm aroun
