00:01:08.900
2009 where louis garment you had you had a decision do we step in and have intervention and try to save
00:01:15.360
this corrupt system by infusing it with taxpayer cash to bail out the elites or do we let the
00:01:22.000
contagion spread and let the devil catch the hindmost and the problem is when you're looking
00:01:26.360
into the abyss it's a very tough call for you guys to make because they're going to sit there and go
00:01:29.860
right now we're looking into an open pit you have no idea how deep this could go you know how the
00:01:35.680
american financial system could collapse how the international financial system could collapse
00:01:39.260
so you better vote to bail it out with taxpayer cash so you're going to take it from people making
00:01:44.420
45 000 a year to bail out the wealthiest people on earth and they're going to put a gun to your head
00:01:49.600
and they're going to say okay you're going to if you don't if you vote no and let capitalism take its
00:01:54.840
take its take its path this contagion will spread they're already talking about is it a contagion or
00:01:59.640
chemotherapy that's what i'm trying to figure out that's that's what you're saying let svb fail
00:02:05.840
i think you have to by the way until you get a bailout of east palestine ohio screw screw look
00:02:13.840
those people are the guys that mock and ridicule maga every day of the week this is the elite that
00:02:19.440
is it's an elite bank the most i think most elite bank in the country it only has a certain clientele of
00:02:26.920
the only the best of these high-tech companies only that it's all the venture capitalists it's
00:02:31.820
so politically they all hate us and they they mock and ridicule the central part of this country
00:02:36.600
they're the the coastal elites let their venture capital from they got plenty of cash plenty of
00:02:41.300
capital let them go bail themselves out physician heal thyself do not come to us when you have not
00:02:47.800
you sit there and you mock and ridicule east palestine you have some both bogus uh um a hearing
00:02:54.480
when nothing gets settled nothing gets sorted until east palestine gets a bailout there shouldn't be one
00:02:59.660
a freaking penny i haven't done anything in silicon valley i agree and it feels similar to the energy
00:03:05.500
i felt when when you guys stood up in the speaker's vote yes someone finally saying to the machine you
00:03:10.700
can't just steamroll us over and over and over it's the same play it's 2008 9 it's it's it's the it's
00:03:16.900
the bailout uh it's the it is china drove exactly exactly exactly what's going to happen i don't know
00:03:23.420
that to what extent if you go back if you go back to town halls if you go back to town halls in your
00:03:28.280
district next week next weekend and say and say and say we'll say they've come to us with svb and
00:03:33.860
we're going to lose here's we're going to lose the contagion is going to spread to other banks
00:03:36.380
number two we're going to lose all these great companies uh and we're going to be lose all our
00:03:41.120
innovation for a decade that's what we're saying we're going to lose all innovation for a decade
00:03:44.200
what is your what is your district going to tell you if a an earthquake hit silicon valley i'm not
00:03:49.740
sure that my constituents would vote to send fema i wonder what you make of the treasury secretary's
00:03:55.740
remarks i know you've been in contact with the white house with treasury and with fdic i have great
00:04:01.520
respect for secretary yellen but i think we need to have more clarity and greater uh strength in what
00:04:07.940
treasury is saying first the principle needs to be that all depositors will be protected and have
00:04:14.220
full access to their accounts monday morning all depositors meaning those with accounts bigger
00:04:19.520
than 250 000 which is the cutoff for insurance right now yes all of them there's precedent for
00:04:25.420
this chair powell when he was at treasury in 1991 the bank of new england collapsed and chair powell
00:04:32.700
said the treasury coordinated with fdic and with the fed and they insured every depositor then and why
00:04:39.940
did they do it they didn't want a regional run on the banks here's what i'm hearing uh from people in
00:04:44.420
my constituency they are getting notes to pull out of regional banks and all of this will be
00:04:49.560
consolidated in the top four banks we don't want that as a nation especially if you're progressive
00:04:54.240
the other thing is the payroll companies that are involved some of them have 400 000 folks they're not
00:05:00.060
going to be able to meet payroll if they don't have access to the deposits
00:05:03.580
your counterpart in the united kingdom has said that the government there has ruled out a bailout of
00:05:13.540
the uk arm of silicon valley bank have you also ruled out that kind of government intervention
00:05:20.960
well let me be clear that um during the financial crisis um there were um investors um and owners of
00:05:33.560
systemic large banks that were bailed out and we're certainly not looking and uh the reforms that
00:05:41.700
have been put in place means that we're not going to do that again but we are concerned about
00:05:48.380
depositors and are focused on uh trying to meet their needs would you be open to um a foreign bank
00:05:55.780
coming in as a white knight to to help stabilize the situation with silicon valley bank
00:06:02.480
so this is really a decision for the fdic as it decides um on what the best course is to resolve
00:06:13.620
um this firm and um i'm sure they're considering a wide range of available options um that would
00:06:22.940
include acquisitions and here are the highlights first all customers who had deposits in these banks
00:06:29.520
can rest assured i'm gonna rest assured they'll be protected and they'll have access to their money
00:06:34.820
as of today that includes small businesses across the country that bank there and need to make payroll
00:06:41.820
pay their bills and stay open for business no losses and i want this is an important point no losses will
00:06:48.400
be borne by the taxpayers let me repeat that no losses will be borne by the taxpayers instead the
00:06:54.860
money will come from the fees that banks pay into the deposit insurance fund because of the actions
00:07:00.960
of that because of the actions that our regulators already taken every american should feel confident
00:07:07.100
that their deposits will be there if and when they need them second the management of these banks will
00:07:13.440
be fired if the bank is taken over by fdic the people okay that's a bald face that's a bald face
00:07:21.120
lie you're bailing this out i'm going to be brutally frank and there's enough cash these depositors are
00:07:27.040
not innocent victims this uh this um bank is like a fraternity or sorority house with the worst people
00:07:35.140
in the country who mock and ridicule and hate you and detest you every second of their lives de-platform
00:07:42.080
you debank you all of it okay and you are bailing them out first off number one their venture
00:07:50.160
remember they're talking about we can't make payroll we can't have operations at 99.9999999% of the
00:07:59.300
company depositors these companies all have financial sponsors called venture capitalists
00:08:05.220
they can take a they get the venture capitalists right now could give them a line of credit to make
00:08:13.020
payroll and pay their operations the reason they're not doing it they don't want further dilution and of
00:08:20.080
course it won't be great return on the venture capitalist capital okay this is what the game is
00:08:25.620
they're coming to you and this thing about the fdic first off it's only about 100 billion dollars
00:08:29.700
in the fdic insurance it also comes from fees from other banks that you are paying the depositors and
00:08:37.120
shareholders of the other banks this is an indirect tax on you i don't say a direct tax on you
00:08:43.460
but i'll give indirect tax on you so biden the american people are paying to bail out the worst
00:08:52.960
scumbags and by the way they got all their sweetheart deal mortgages all these venture
00:08:58.500
they're called venture loans venture loans is they just don't want to put in more hard equity because
00:09:02.920
of dilution they want to own a big higher percentage of the company this is an open scam and you are paying
00:09:10.320
for it in any congressman the opening thing it was friday night at nine o'clock over in the capitol
00:09:15.760
i was doing the tim pool show i told you exactly what was going to happen at 9 35 p.m eastern standard
00:09:23.000
time on friday night and exactly what happened has happened and you need kevin mccarthy and you need
00:09:29.980
elise stefanek and you need mchenry the head of the financial ring every member of congress that is
00:09:35.900
republican or turf them out there is plenty of money to save these depositors it comes from their
00:09:43.180
financial sponsors they can make payroll today they can make operations today they just have to get a
00:09:50.480
line of credit not from the american people but they have to get it from their venture capitalists
00:09:54.920
this is this is 2008 it's even worse than 2008 because now that and i can't say it's a great tragedy
00:10:02.360
you are bailing out the very people that are trying to destroy this country and trying to destroy you
00:10:09.240
remember that let me repeat you are bailing out with your money the exact people that detest you
00:10:15.980
and they're going to say they go oh we're going to lose innovation for 10 years they have the money
00:10:21.380
the venture capitalists are all part of this and all kicked off the run it was a venture cap these
00:10:27.160
these sobs took their money out beforehand as soon as they knew this thing was jiggy
00:10:32.860
right and then left you to pick up the test and we're going to get into biden's as as cortez and
00:10:40.900
navarro and i've been talking about for over a year the biden administration policies caused this
00:10:47.360
one thousand percent direct direct from the beginning of their policies to today both on inflation both in
00:10:55.640
the bond market getting crushed on what they've done and he put a six point eight trillion dollar
00:11:00.100
budget up in your grill and we had no offense the house freedom caucus on friday not good enough
00:11:06.500
the homework assignment got a c plus we need to get serious and we need to go on offense and we need
00:11:14.580
not to back down one inch because this is 2008 all over i told you you're seeing a collapse of the
00:11:21.100
neoliberal neocon system on the border you've got riots we're going to go to the border live at 11
00:11:27.020
o'clock uh eastern daylight time here you've got a massive riot you got a a surge at the southern
00:11:33.400
border they're coming across whether you want and what do you want them here or not up in your face
00:11:37.360
you've got complete collapse of our southern border on an absolute invasion of our country you got the
00:11:43.060
ccp everywhere you got ukraine we're pulling billions of dollars steve cortez by the way it's black
00:11:48.940
monday 13 march in the year of our lord 2033 cortez janet yellen she's saying it's fdse it's the
00:11:55.800
treasury department at the end of the day the treasury in the head of the fed how can she focus
00:12:00.280
on this when she's in kiev sir yeah uh by the way janet yellen you know complete lie to try to fool
00:12:07.320
the american people who know better claiming that this isn't a bailout when it is 100 a bailout the same
00:12:13.420
thing from joe biden who got to the podium for a total of three minutes today lied to the american
00:12:18.500
people took no questions and then sauntered shuffled off the stage because he had just done
00:12:24.040
what his bosses on the west coast gavin newsom the governor of california and the venture capitalists
00:12:29.380
of silicon valley he had just done what he was directed to do which is back up these people and
00:12:34.480
steve you are exactly correct i thought it was so shameful all weekend long these venture capitalists
00:12:40.260
were taking to media taking to social media and practically begging regular americans hard-working
00:12:46.140
working-class laborers of america for a bailout when they are some of the wealthiest most powerful
00:12:51.920
people in america when they themselves have the cash to backstop any cash flow operations uh in the
00:12:59.000
near term but instead they're telling a single working mom in the central valley of california or
00:13:05.340
an iron worker in the midwest you are going to be stuck with this you didn't make this mess but you're
00:13:10.720
going to clean it up you weren't invited to the party but you're going to be stuck with the tab okay
00:13:16.040
that is what is happening right now and also when when they try to say yellen and biden that the
00:13:20.320
taxpayer is not on the hook for this the taxpayer is 100 on the hook and here's the other aspect in
00:13:25.780
terms of how we are going to pay a price for this a massive price that will last not just for weeks or
00:13:30.600
months but for years is via inflation steve inflation is already out of control and what we now have
00:13:38.120
because of this bank failure is we have a fed that is already dialing back massively its intention to
00:13:44.480
fight that inflation so powell fed chair powell now has effectively his excuse he has the beard he's going
00:13:50.220
to hide behind it and say we can't raise rates we can't fight inflation anymore because the banking
00:13:55.160
sector is too vulnerable therefore inflation steve is going to stay incredibly elevated and high at
00:14:02.180
levels that working class people simply cannot afford in our society what happened the the worst
00:14:09.400
aspect there's many terrible aspects but the worst fallout from this weekend and from these events
00:14:13.280
steve mark my words is going to be sustained systemic high inflation that is crushing working
00:14:20.800
class people in this country by the way charles schwab halted traded shortly i think at one point is down
00:14:26.940
nineteen percent republic bank is on the ropes your house number is two zero two two two four three
00:14:33.060
one two one the senate is two zero two two two five three one two one light the phone lines up light
00:14:40.080
on tell them if you don't take a stand today i will work 24 7 to turf you out of your seat no excuses
00:14:48.900
there's this is black or white no excuses we're going to come back in a second and walk through how
00:14:53.700

00:15:24.900
because it's the only tool they have to keep inflation under control and guess what it's not
00:15:29.720
working you can't spend your way out of inflation you've seen the impact on the stock market you've
00:15:35.300
seen the impact on your savings hedge inflation by owning gold let me repeat that hedge inflation
00:15:41.160
by owning gold whether physical gold and silver in your own safe or through an ira and precious
00:15:47.600
metals where you can hold real gold and silver in a tax sheltered retirement account birch gold has

00:16:17.920
weren't clear david you know they weren't really clear about who who has forbearance no but the
00:16:30.880
availability of these facilities where you can pledge securities held at par right and get the money
00:16:36.860
um and the other liquidity facilities so to speak would seem to do enough to to reassure people
00:16:45.140
but they didn't solve the duration problem they didn't solve the assets and liability
00:16:51.020
to schwab's point in its own press release and again this is the case right if you have something in
00:16:56.560
the in the health maturity portfolio uh those securities will mature at par and i'm quoting here
00:17:02.480
from schwab and given our significant access to other sources liquidity very little chance that
00:17:07.280
we'd need to sell them prior to maturity now that is what schwab is saying the stock has come back a bit
00:17:11.980
from when they issued this press release let's call it play this more listen the whole reason the whole
00:17:16.840
reason we do this show is to make sure that working class people in maga throughout the country
00:17:22.940
in the world get the same level of sophistication and analysis on geopolitics politics capital markets money
00:17:30.720
because you're the decision makers ultimately and you've been getting screwed for i don't know
00:17:36.200
thousands of years but let's say specifically the last couple of decades all you need is the information
00:17:41.520
once you get the information you've got to use your agency but i am very proud of the fact that this show
00:17:47.840
has been ahead of this for years before these mouth corporate mouthpieces by the dip right the
00:17:55.820
liars on cnbc and quite frankly fox business been giving you nothing but happy talk and of course the
00:18:00.620
msnbc and the political morning jody one touch this morning with the barge pole they're so nervous
00:18:05.660
that the political fall out of this we are here to empower you we are here to empower you and this is
00:18:13.280
absolutely outrageous there's 600 as we talked last week the the uninsured deposits plus the losses in
00:18:23.460
the portfolio the unrealized losses in the portfolios the unrealized losses on the portfolios are over 600
00:18:30.380
billion dollars of just what we know about remember normally what happens in the bank trade what what
00:18:34.660
do we say cortez at the beginning on the show on friday we said silicon valley bank won't make it through
00:18:39.900
the day now i never in a million years thought a california regulator was stopping jumping in front
00:18:46.220
of the feds to shut down a federally chartered bank right never never saw it didn't see that one coming
00:18:51.740
right didn't see that one coming why the biden administration has been hiding this and didn't
00:18:57.960
want to take action before the weekend they wanted to find a buyer guess what no buyers so they gave it to
00:19:02.800
the they gave it to the taxpayers they couldn't find a buyer they couldn't find pnc hong kong shanghai bank jp
00:19:08.840
morgan nobody want to touch this into the bar score because they don't know what's in here
00:19:11.580
could blow up on you this bank has been insolvent since the fourth quarter this is one thousand
00:19:18.180
percent on the biden regime and these incompetents like that stupid old grandmother they got up there
00:19:23.420
yelling whose hapless ought to be fired today shall be brought before the house and senate and impeached
00:19:28.640
immediately right this bank's been insolvent since last quarter and they've been selling illegal
00:19:33.380
securities since then that the leverage ratio on this bank is 185 to one a bank's leverage should
00:19:40.180
be what i don't know three to four to one maybe five to one during the financial crisis meltdown the
00:19:44.940
investment banks which should never get above leverage of eight to one my beloved goldman sachs
00:19:49.620
were 20 to one that's where you had the implosion you had a bank that had a leverage ratio of 185 to
00:19:56.460
one where were the regulators where was treasury where was fdic where was the federal reserve and
00:20:02.520
where was that hapless old man joe biden and sit up there for three minutes and yammer on it's not
00:20:06.880
a thing no they know how radioactive it is and it is our duty our obligation to our children and our
00:20:13.440
grandchildren and to yourselves and if you're a millennial under 35 years old if you're just going
00:20:17.780
to sit there and say oh no i'll be a social justice warrior then guess what you deserve to be
00:20:23.200
a russian serf because you're going to be a russian serf and all these woke all these woke
00:20:29.940
folks in silicon valley tell me how bad this bank is this is not even a bank it's a hedge fund it's
00:20:35.480
the cool kids table in high school it's the cool kids table in high school and we're bailing them
00:20:40.640
out screw them they got all their venture capitals like david sacks and all the in ackerman and all these
00:20:46.280
guys over the way by the way sacks you're all in the podcast is juvenile you guys sound like nine-year-olds
00:20:51.720
and no offense peter teal i don't know peter what material non-public information did you have
00:20:58.460
when you took all your money and all your venture capital funds out what material non-public
00:21:03.840
information did you have and then to cover your tracks came out and said hey i think everybody
00:21:07.760
i'll take their after your money was out hey i think everybody i'll take all their money out of
00:21:12.420
svb and initiated the run it didn't cause it but it initiated steve cortez and these very people steve
00:21:20.280
this is also important and i put this in context in a new article that's up on my sub stack about
00:21:25.520
uh biden bonds and the bank bailouts where i try to explain in layman terms exactly what happened
00:21:30.500
to silicon valley bank and what the risks are for other banks but i mentioned there because i think
00:21:34.580
this is also critical this same cast of characters okay these oligarchs of silicon valley and these
00:21:40.120
firms let's remember why were they so flushed with cash to put such massive deposits into svb it's
00:21:47.100
because the lockdowns 2020 and 2021 were nirvana for big tech because they forced americans they
00:21:55.180
and politicians forced americans to live lives on screens to only engage in online shopping the world
00:22:01.620
was never better for amazon and google and microsoft than the lockdowns okay and not coincidentally steve
00:22:08.440
those very same tech firms they helped inflict the tyranny of the lockdowns by censoring and
00:22:14.980
diminishing any alternative voices about the lockdowns any criticism of the lockdowns right was
00:22:20.220
diminished i myself was suspended several times for example for questioning the efficacy of masks even
00:22:26.180
though i was 100 right so these same people and and firms okay that inflicted the lockdowns that
00:22:32.080
benefited massively from the lockdowns they now face a very different economy they face joe biden's
00:22:37.860
economy with inflation out of control because their preferred and anointed leader he's not doing so
00:22:43.420
well at managing the economy so now they're over a barrel 150 000 tech workers have been laid off
00:22:50.220
just since the beginning of 2022 the industry is in turmoil and therefore they need their cash massive
00:22:57.860
withdrawals coming out of svb and the taxpayer is supposed to be stuck with the bill hard-working
00:23:03.620
regular americans the very people who suffered from big tech who were the victims of the tyranny
00:23:08.780
of big tech we are now supposed to bail out big tech no no thank you and by the way it's not just
00:23:15.380
taxpayers and and deplorables who are saying no thank you it's also investors steve you mentioned
00:23:19.480
the stock market volatility right now as we speak today the regional bank etf the kre it is down
00:23:26.020
16 for the day that's a chart of the kre going back a year off of the the highs of just a year ago
00:23:34.080
we are down 40 off of the highs of just a year ago down 16 on the day for the kre which again that is
00:23:41.720
an etf and exchange traded fund where you get all those regional banks in one ticker so investors
00:23:47.200
are not waiting to ask questions later they are simply dumping these banks because they know
00:23:52.340
that while other banks don't have the peculiar problems of svb it's concentration in tech they do
00:23:57.520
have similar bond holdings and why are these bond holdings getting destroyed they're getting destroyed
00:24:02.560
because of joe biden because of what he's doing to inflation 2022 was the worst year for bonds for
00:24:08.840
treasury bonds in all of american history and data going back a century it was literally the worst year
00:24:15.380
for capital markets ever because you had stocks and bonds get killed at the same time and steve as we've
00:24:20.820
been shouting about on this show for a very long time the bond market matters much more to regular
00:24:25.600
folks than the stock market does and this is exhibit a of what bond market pain means in the real world
00:24:32.540
a massive bank failure and a lot of worries about more bank failures to come and the deplorables
00:24:38.760
you're caught holding the bag on this you are financially on the hook
00:24:43.520
because the government securities they bought are totally underwater right they're totally underwater
00:24:50.760
because of unrealized these are all these are because inflation this is direct okay elections have
00:24:58.680
consequences stolen elections have catastrophic consequences i hope the nation now is going to
00:25:06.340
embrace the catastrophic consequence that is upon you because these are biden bonds and these are biden
00:25:14.060
banks right he's nothing but hoover he's herbert hoover these are biden banks
00:25:19.360
holding biden bonds and it is all going to sink unless and here's what they're going to do instead
00:25:26.480
of going to the culprits the people that knew this and took all these remember these venture back loans
00:25:32.800
venture back loans this is all just a scam so they don't they don't take dilution they take a risk here
00:25:39.280
so they don't take dilution they shouldn't be lending money to a thing that's 10 guys in an algorithm
00:25:44.880
it's going to burn cash for five years you know it's a it's a unicorn it's going to be worth two
00:25:50.500
trillion dollars it's going to be worth five billion dollars they want all the upsides we've socialized
00:25:54.860
the downside we've mitigated the risk on the downside on your shoulders on the shoulders of the
00:26:00.060
deplorables on the shoulders of maga just like before you take all the downside they get all the
00:26:07.060
upside yeah you don't even get a tip you don't even get a tip right now as we speak the venture
00:26:13.840
capital firms that have every depositors they they own these depositors because they're the vcs they
00:26:20.880
have more than enough money to make payroll i don't hear the whining we're not gonna be a payroll
00:26:25.600
you know innovations you have the money to make payroll you have the money to fund operations because
00:26:33.740
operations there's a bunch of guys coming in a bunch of men and women coming in are working from
00:26:38.240
home with their mask on right because you're totally woke uh no you have all the money extend a credit
00:26:45.180
line to your company and let them pay for the operations and pay salaries and we're all good
00:26:50.300
yes managers are going to get diluted sorry not sorry you're going to have terrible more worse returns

00:30:09.180
steve but this gets back i want to make sure people do not get your eyes off the fact that this is um
00:30:16.740
can i get my clock right right there thank you sir um the um this go all goes back to this illegitimate
00:30:23.700
regime their economic policies we cannot detach the economic policies and capital markets results
00:30:30.700
of this illegitimate regime and the collaborationists the republican senator and you call your senators
00:30:37.340
anybody that voted for any of this stuff build back better the infrastructure bill anybody that voted for
00:30:43.380
um you know the all the compromises the people that voted for the continued resolution the omnibus bill
00:30:50.300
every senator all 17 or 18 of those republicans they're all just as guilty because they're collaboration
00:30:55.540
collaborationists just like the people that collaborated with the nazis these are collaborationists
00:31:00.460
they're all guilty and this just didn't come out this is not like a summer storm that appeared out of
00:31:05.560
nowhere this is the storm when i gave the speech at cpac this is what i was talking about it's not a
00:31:11.660
gathering storm the storm is here this is a collapse of the neoliberal neocon order because the only way
00:31:19.040
you can prop it up is on the shoulders of maga financially or the and their sons and daughters
00:31:25.640
that go die on foreign battlefields and you had over the weekend max boot with his mayor culpa in
00:31:30.620
foreign affairs oh you know i i've really made i've learned a lesson as a neocon it really doesn't
00:31:36.160
work and maybe it's not so sophisticated screw you dude you got all these dead kids women men and
00:31:42.400
women and american you know soldiers our greatest patriots and the contractors or former soldiers
00:31:48.100
they're dead on foreign battlefields in iraq and afghanistan and now you sit there and write some
00:31:52.720
piece in foreign affairs and say you know i made a mistake i really didn't understand you know maybe
00:31:57.820
democracy can't be important to certain nations this is the type of people that are not serious people
00:32:04.960
cortez right first off cortez you your theory of the case is hey bannon this is 10x worse than 2008
00:32:12.560
why is that steve cortez yes no i think it's a more dangerous moment in many ways than 2008 and
00:32:18.860
09 and here's why because at least we went into that crisis with the federal balance sheets both
00:32:25.480
on the fiscal and monetary side in relatively good shape what i mean about that is total federal debt
00:32:30.240
at that time was eight trillion dollars that's a lot of money but it's manageable for a country as
00:32:34.800
big as the united states our federal debt is now four times that large we're above 31 trillion
00:32:40.540
dollars and counting aggressively ascending higher even worse perhaps look at the fed balance sheet
00:32:46.480
the fed balance sheet at that time heading into the 0809 crisis was one trillion dollars and it had
00:32:51.700
been stable there for a very long time a very manageable amount actually for a country as big as
00:32:56.280
united states it is now nine trillion dollars okay so here's the point the credit card is already
00:33:02.160
maxed the national credit card so we are heading into this crisis in a far more precarious far weaker
00:33:08.840
financial condition which means we will have a lot less ammunition to throw at any crisis that is the
00:33:14.980
reality right now so this open-ended promise that we're simply going to back all institutional
00:33:20.260
accounts we're going to back all of these silicon valley oligarchs why because they have political
00:33:25.180
power because they're begging for it uh is a is a very dangerous situation that we're in and in some
00:33:30.820
ways i think more dangerous in fact than 08 or 09 and steve to that point of you know being able to see
00:33:36.280
this coming this wasn't some sudden storm right that happened upon us no this inflationary nightmare
00:33:41.060
has been steadily building ever since biden took office and as proof of that let me offer my own tweet
00:33:47.720
from a year ago if we can go to slide number four please uh after appearing on your show almost exactly
00:33:52.920
a year ago to this day last march the yield curve had become inverted and yield curve inversion
00:33:59.860
is a massive warning sign for the economy since world war ii the yield curve has a near perfect record
00:34:06.120
of predicting severe recessions we were talking about this on your show in all of my articles steve a
00:34:13.020
year ago saying the bond market is revolting the bond market is revolting against biden's inflationary
00:34:19.240
policies inflation is out of control and it's going to get worse that was plain to see you didn't have to
00:34:25.140
be a bond market savant to understand that massive trouble was percolating and brewing and worsening
00:34:32.720
and now here we are here we are with the real world ramifications of a bond market revolt a massive
00:34:38.860
bank failure with legitimate worries that there are more to come because other banks they may not have
00:34:44.620
some of the particular problems of svb particularly its concentration on tech its dependence on tech but
00:34:50.860
other banks do have similar problems regarding bond holdings bond holdings that were once considered safe
00:34:56.440
that have now been destroyed because of joe biden by the way to show you historically just how unusual
00:35:02.260
the market action has been in bonds let me if we can go to chart number one please let me show you this
00:35:07.060
chart of uh stock and bond performance put together so this chart by the way is from blackrock which i find
00:35:13.320
kind of funny because of course blackrock is the most evil company in the world and i normally don't want to
00:35:17.620
promote their stuff but they did this chart correctly uh and this shows you uh on the on the x axis the
00:35:24.620
the uh the the horizontal is the equity performance on the y axis the vertical is bond market performance
00:35:30.440
as you can see most of the time the dots in the last 20 years are on the right side of that screen
00:35:36.640
which is where you want them to be look at 2022 what a massive outlier is that is the red dot
00:35:42.820
massive outlier meaning that both stocks and bonds got crushed concurrently because of joe biden and
00:35:50.660
because of stagflation something we haven't seen in this country thankfully since the 1970s so what
00:35:56.060
are the real world ramifications of this if we can go to chart number two let's look at unrealized
00:36:01.620
gains and losses this is from the fdic and this chart should scare the hell out of every single
00:36:08.120
american this chart goes back 15 years from the fdic unrealized gains and losses at fdic insured
00:36:16.380
banks as you can see until recent until the last couple of years this chart is pretty boring right
00:36:21.580
pretty small gains small losses banks generally are responsible generally hold safe uh bonds with
00:36:27.860
their money and you don't have wild swings until now until look at the last few bars on this chart
00:36:34.800
what has happened in recent quarters the massive amount of unrealized losses sitting in bank portfolios
00:36:42.920
because of biden's inflation uh so this isn't just a storm steve it is a tsunami it is a hurricane
00:36:49.860
okay and it is raging all around us whether we choose to ignore it or not corporate media is not
00:36:54.800
going to tell you about it joe biden's going to lie to you yellen's going to lie through her teeth and
00:36:58.820
tell you that you're not on the hook for this you are on the hook for this okay and here's here's
00:37:03.760
perhaps the worst consequence of all going forward is it's giving the fed an excuse to stop fighting
00:37:08.720
inflation so the inflation that is crushing middle class prosperity already in this country
00:37:12.920
it is going to continue and it is going to worsen that's the reality if you're having a hard time
00:37:17.920
right now paying your utility bill paying your car loan it's going to get worse for you because of
00:37:23.940
what joe biden is doing and because of this crisis over the weekend that's just just simply the sad
00:37:29.260
economic reality i want i want people to um um i'm gonna give you a concept make sure you get that
00:37:37.980
this is just not to make you the most interesting person at the dinner party or the neighborhood
00:37:42.100
barbecue or while you're watching the kids playing uh playing uh little league this is to drive forward
00:37:49.280
the notion that we can't let this country go down the tube so it's another piece of nomenclature
00:37:53.500
systemic when we say this is this is systemic because it is the the the economic system is
00:38:02.280
is hardwired into the financial system the capital markets and they try to always separate that
00:38:08.120
biden's illegitimate regimes management or mismanagement of the economy directly comes to
00:38:14.120
these bank failures and now maybe even these brokerage firm failures and they always come back
00:38:19.080
to you that's why they're going to have stories about the ceo who's a total bozo the woke lgbtq woman
00:38:26.480
in london who they've been all you know go at woke go broke on daily mail yes that's all interesting
00:38:31.520
and that's clearly a part of it but this cuts to the heart of the system itself the way the system
00:38:37.640
rolls and that's why the most powerful oligarchs the most powerful oligarchs who caused the run on this
00:38:45.660
bank who caused the run on this bank and are the beneficiaries of all the financial quite frankly
00:38:54.540
crimes of this bank have the gall to come to you for a ballot the reason is they think you're morons
00:39:02.500
and trash anyway and you're just going to roll over the people represent you because they own this town
00:39:07.180
and that's why it is outrageous that the senior republican leadership sat on a phone call last night
00:39:14.980
for hours with fdic treasury and all that and didn't immediately come before the microphone
00:39:20.460
just said this is outrageous if you're too stupid to understand this like i explained it on friday
00:39:26.780
night what was going to happen if you're too stupid to understand you shouldn't be in congress
00:39:31.220
where's the republican leadership today to say no absolutely not we will burn this place down before
00:39:37.780
he let a nickel to bail the worst people on earth out they have plenty of money this is the key
00:39:42.580
they're all whining oh we're going to miss payroll we can't fund operations all these great
00:39:47.400
startups that are going to cure cancer and cure the energy problem and take care of climate change
00:39:52.480
we're not going to be able to make payroll they're all going to go they're going to miss their mortgages
00:39:57.160
the venture capital firms that back them up they've been stealing this money with these
00:40:01.400
corrupt venture loans have the cash all they have to do is extend a credit facility
00:40:07.760
to their company to make payroll and fund operations this is all because they don't want
00:40:14.140
to take dilution they want it once again they want to socialize the risk they want to spread the risk
00:40:19.260
to the maga to the maga and the deplorables you you cover all the downside and they get all the
00:40:25.480
upside brother cortez yes totally and by the way you're exactly correct that uh that republicans on
00:40:31.860
capitol hill should be showing leadership right now uh but i would i would give similar advice
00:40:36.580
to all candidates for office especially candidates for the highest office for the presidency so folks
00:40:42.060
who are either officially in the race for 2024 or about to get into the race uh this is a opportune
00:40:47.820
time for them to number one decry this dirty deal right to say this cannot happen in the united
00:40:55.140
states and number two give us their plan for how they're going to attack biden's inflation so trump
00:41:01.480
de santis hayley pompeo all of them uh should be today i believe issuing statements about how this
00:41:07.540
is totally unacceptable this is a dirty deal from the oligarchs putting their risks upon regular
00:41:12.740
americans but then also not just that not just denounce this dirty deal but also give us the
00:41:17.960
framework how are we going to what is the agenda and actual plan to get back to a place of contained
00:41:23.760
inflation with with sustained growth in this country again because look the economy was already the
00:41:29.600
number one issue on most people's minds it has catapulted even higher um in terms of the list
00:41:34.260
of worries of anxieties of regular americans given this bank failure so this is a key moment where
00:41:40.380
leadership needs to be displayed at the highest levels yes on capitol hill yes among presidential
00:41:46.380
candidates and for that matter i think all candidates for federal law office if you want to be elected in
00:41:50.380
2024 and if you want to win your republican primary particularly uh you better stand up and give us a
00:41:56.340
populist economic message here uh and tell us that number one funding the oligarchs is wrong and
00:42:02.800
unacceptable number two how are we going to get out of this quagmire that biden has put us in
00:42:08.120
202-225-3121 is the number of the switchboard for the united states senate 202-224-3121
00:42:18.680
is um the for the house so make sure you make your calls let your voice be heard send emails all of
00:42:25.340
it today under no circumstances can we allow this to go down you have to say this is outrageous

00:45:16.920
thermonuclear weapon on the balance sheets of banks you got to call these biden bonds and biden banks

00:45:41.700
thousand percent one thousand percent on biden's watch about their direct and and the people is not
00:45:48.680
trump it's the collaborationist senators that went along with this the collaborationist senators
00:45:53.920
check out is your senator one of them then lame know what let him know him or her know what you
00:45:59.060
think steve cortez let's go back to that chart because i want to be i want to put people ahead
00:46:04.540
of the curve here sure because what the banks did was what was banks did what you what you would
00:46:10.580
think they bought long long securities that were supposed to be pretty boring the problem is biden came
00:46:16.700
in and completely up into the economy with massive this is this is the results of modern monetary theory
00:46:22.240
and remember he just dumped a 6.8 trillion dollar budget on you that he has no ability to pay for
00:46:29.840
whatsoever and in the house freedom caucus i love you guys but the friday thing wasn't good enough
00:46:34.820
you can't come in with a handful of i don't like this program i don't like this it's got to be it we have
00:46:39.880
a systemic problem we have to come back with systemic solutions that means you know deconstructing
00:46:47.000
part of the defense department so we're not like in syria this is where everybody the syria vote last
00:46:51.820
week it's small but it's the beginning step of taking back commitments you got to take back
00:46:56.860
commitments social commitments and by the way where you're taking away medicaid and others from u.s
00:47:03.000
citizens as tough as that is you should be paying no pensions in kiev you should be paying
00:47:08.900
no medical insurance health insurance in kiev right you should be paying none no weapons in
00:47:16.100
kiev how about this zero money for ukraine and why is janet yellen when she should be on top of this
00:47:23.020
banking crisis that didn't appear overnight why is she in ukraine laying roses there at the at the wall
00:47:29.760
she should be called in tomorrow the senate should call her in to start impeachment on on yellen just to
00:47:35.580
kick it off just so we get to the bottom of this go back to that chart cortez because if folks think
00:47:41.180
this is over by this happy talk they're throwing out this morning no no no no no no we're a long way
00:47:46.460
from over because just continue to throw a gasoline high octane gasoline on a dumpster fire sir
00:47:54.080
right no exactly correct and by the way joe biden just to get to the unseriousness of our supposed
00:47:59.760
leaders right now joe biden looks at the economy which is an absolute turmoil especially for working
00:48:04.840
class people inflation out of control and what's his answer his answer is i'm going to give you an
00:48:10.480
even worse budget and even more inflationary federal budget that is 35 percent higher than
00:48:16.460
pre-pandemic levels i mean it's almost as if he scoffed he laughed at america said oh you think
00:48:21.180
that's bad wait until you see this budget it's going to be even worse but guess what regular people
00:48:26.060
the bond market included bond traders revolting against his policies just today by the way right now
00:48:31.520
just updating kre which is the regional bank etf it's all the regional banks in one ticker
00:48:37.060
right now down 14 percent on the day steve that's a bad year forget about a day okay down 14 percent
00:48:43.720
of the day charles schwab stock which is bank like uh the brokerage firm is down 16 percent on the day
00:48:49.980
why well let's go back to chart number two if we can please this is from the fdic the federal deposit
00:48:55.360
insurance corporation which is how the federal government insures deposits in banks and these
00:49:00.380
are unrealized gains or losses in the investment accounts of fdi insured banks going back to 2007
00:49:07.980
and as you can see prior to this recent period prior to the last few quarters this is a pretty boring
00:49:13.820
chart because for the most part banks have been really responsible and they have bought treasuries
00:49:18.360
as svb did which were stable and and safe they have become anything but stable or safe under joe biden so
00:49:25.620
if you see on that chart relatively small gyrations of gains and losses over the years nothing terribly
00:49:31.280
consequential until joe biden and now the unrealized losses are absolutely falling off of a cliff
00:49:39.200
and worsening not only is it bad but the trend is worsening uh so to your point steve we may very well
00:49:46.140
be at the beginning of this crisis not even in the middle certainly not at the end of this crisis and
00:49:51.560
what joe biden and janet yellen are telling the american people is you're going to take it you
00:49:56.140
are going to bear the brunt of this you know again you didn't make the mess but you're going to clean
00:50:00.440
it up you weren't invited to the party but you're going to pay the tab why because the oligarchs on the
00:50:06.500
west coast to start with those oligarchs demand that we fund their risk they get all of the upside and
00:50:13.760
we get all of the risk not a very good deal for regular americans certainly not for the deplorables look
00:50:19.240
this exact kind of situation this exact kind of toxic bargain is what led to the tea party which
00:50:25.500
led to the america first movement to the presidency of donald trump uh so our movement uh very much
00:50:31.080
finds its origin in exactly this kind of calamity um and this kind of economic injustice unfortunately
00:50:37.940
this episode is uh is proof that this injustice persists and in fact under joe biden is pervasive
00:50:45.080
and growing now we have agency we can stop it starting with the house of representatives which
00:50:49.860
we earned control of in the last election um and we need to use that agency and use that political lever
00:50:55.280
and from here going forward we need to make sure that into 2024 we elect a president and senators and
00:51:01.760
house members who believe in our vision of populist economics and who will not tolerate number one joe biden's
00:51:09.340
inflation but number two will not tolerate this kind of transfer of risk to regular americans where
00:51:15.640
the crony credentialed managerial class gets all of the upside and then regular americans fund the
00:51:21.340
downside it is totally unsustainable it's an unsustainable economic model and it's unsustainable
00:51:26.540
societally steve and let me give you another prediction here and i might sound alarmist to some
00:51:30.580
folks but i think it's correct and by the way most of my economic prognostications have turned out to be
00:51:35.180
exactly spot on if the fed stops fighting inflation and if we have sustained high inflation in this
00:51:41.420
country which i believe we are going to we will have societal chaos mark my words because when people
00:51:47.340
cannot pay for the necessity of life when they can't pay for food and energy believe me this is a
00:51:52.220
volatile country okay often that is a benefit to us we're very dynamic people but there's also a
00:51:56.780
downside to that there's a risk to that we're not going to just take it the way the japanese took their
00:52:01.160
lost economic decades we're not a docile people yeah and if this inflation remains at these levels
00:52:06.460
or higher there will be chaos yeah you have uh we have lost decades ahead of us if we continue on
00:52:14.300
right now we're we're at an inflection point lost decades and a lost generation millennials and gen z
00:52:20.960
okay a lost couple of lost generations in lost decades 90 second break we're going to talk about
