The heads on the you know the sky skulls and spikes and all that stuff and you can see that the madness that we had the willard or the marlowe in the case of the Joseph Conrads heart of darkness character that weve arrived into this heart of darkness this mad death in the stars hurts filed for bankruptcy so obviously. The price so warners another look at that same chart the market summarized the 1. 00 chart chapter 11 Company Hertz is now worth more than before the bankruptcy what cheap money can do incredible oh oh oh yeah captain well are going up forever into the heart of darkness pursuing colonel kurtz who is in this analogy the central bank hes gone rogue his methods are on sound hes surrounded by heads on stakes as you mention and were artifacts and jungle creatures and of course thats the Balance Sheet of the Federal Reserve bank and Dennis Hopper is an acolyte hes hopping up and down talking about fractions talking on fractions you know what does that mean i think youve got some thoughts about that and captain willard would be coin right but coin is now made it to the gates of the sun. Jewel bank and chaos just like of course apocalypse now was a remake of heart of darkness and it really reflects the chaos of insanity of the vietnam war americas heart of darkness americas plunge into imperialistic insanity by spending billions to conquer really nothing of vital interest but spending billions and trillions to get their roots are its a repeat of the insanity but on a much more epic scale exterminate the brutes of course is anybody without any debt the brutes are those without debt and the currents in the situation is and the empire is the empire of debt now however if you look at it with an austrian eye and call manga says that all value is derived from human consciousness so here you have the photojournalist played by Dennis Hopper and Dennis Hopper of course a journalist there in the vietnam war in that case that which has spilled over into the cambodian border is you know the journalist is supposed to be a neutral observer not become a participant in cheering on empire but most of our journalists and most people do have huge piles of debt do believe in the Banking System and our Central Bank System so they are the sort of Dennis Hopper character so when Dennis Hopper says its very simple dialectics write 1390 maybes no supposes no fractions you cant travel in space you cant go into space you know without like you know with fractions what are you going to land on one quarter 3 eights what are you going to do when you get from here to venus or something thats dialectic physics ok so here we have a situation that is not supposed to happen that the millennial since we are totally post 97 when theyre all born from 1900 theyve never known sound money theyve only known unsound money so to them theyre you know were ordinary people born before 980 anybody born before 1980. Before 971 they know what sound is supposed to look like right and they arrive and they see the horror that is the colonel kurtz and all his crazy village and acolytes there so that to the millennial are easy buying on robin hood when they buy hertz. Which is a bankrupt company it just filed for chapter 11 and heres the way Bloomberg News again old School Pretty unsound money pre unsound methods hurt since possibly worthless stock soars in risky recovery bet so theres this notion that were in a v. Shaped recovery and that also used car prices are soaring so a lot of people on robin hood jumped into it and started buying the shares even though chapter 11 shareholders get wiped out to get nothing but to them in their human consciousness surrounded by currents and all his free money theyre like. Its landing out of. A right to Dennis Hopper character obviously would be Rachel Maddow but in an economy with a central bank that prices money and 0 then all fundamental our analysis is out the window right because all fundamental analysis of what a security should be worth to school of Warren Buffett comes from like a dividend discount model or future value versus current value and its all based around what the cost of money is and particularly the pen year treasury bond and you can do a regression model and figure out well this company like hertz might be worth x. And this company avis might be worth while in washington invest in experts is why but when the price of money is then all stocks become memes stocks are now means hertz is not a company its not a stock it is a mean and its has 0 value and is traded with money that also has 0 value expressed as 0 percent Interest Rate thats what that means it has no value and people on robinhood who are accessing that app for free again no value no 0 cost just free so you can freely excess that app with your free money that was given away freely by the government as part of the Pandemic Relief Program to trade shares in a worthless Company Called hertz i want to 100 percent. And this is what happens in an economy where the central bank like colonel kurtz and apocalypse now has gone rogue and you have to think about ways to right the boat here which would then mean getting captain willard to travel up the river and to terminate with extreme prejudice which in this case means recalling bitcoin gold silver Balance Sheets earnings anybody who had any experience with a sound money economy the things that used to matter to a sound economy a sound Financial System any of these metrics so even somebody like Warren Buffett who looks at Balance Sheets and hes a Value Investor so for example he dumped all his Airline Stocks at the bottom there they were bought by robin hood out 1st you know the other side of the trade was the robin hood apparatus theyre up 65 percent carl icahn another guy from probably the silent generation perhaps boomer he is you know dumped his hertz stock he owned hertz he saw he owned about 40 percent of it he saw that they were going to declare bankruptcy and he knows and the old system that weve had for thousands of years that equity holders lose everything they lose all their equity so he dumped everything but this new generation who are only no on sound money only know colonel hearses way this world makes sense to them so they can land on a fraction of the atlanta fed just said the economy in the 2nd quarter down 51 percent. Half of what it was a fraction of what it was and yet stock markets nasdaq just had an all time high so for them it makes perfect sense because they can land on a fraction right in fact robinhood or cash or other and now offers fractional shares of of stocks so they are in fact planning on fractional shares you can buy a fraction of a share and thats something relatively new but you kind of extend the apocalypse now metaphor so a member of the same in the movie where they go passed an old colonial french craddick dinner party and thats where Warren Buffett is thats where carl icahn are you know theyre theyre clinging on to the past and theyre kind of like on the way into the heart of darkness you would pass this old French Colonial outpost which would represent the buffets and the call icons of the world as you head deeper into the psychosis that is jay powell and everyone whos come before him at the set and the exterminate with extreme prejudice moment is basically you have to end this insanity for this insanity in the financial world and geo political world and domestic world to end because you know here even Bloomberg News like im saying its old School Finance and they dont have it theyre trying to say it very politely like with a british the flop or a lip about like. You know these are possibly worthless stock and they are but who knows theyre saying maybe were and who were all that maybe you know all value is subjective and if they think you know if these people buying these stocks want to keep it alive in their own separate parallel universe of a crazy village in the middle of this heart of darkness that we have created that the fed has created the Bloomberg News has supported p. P. P. This is ok they point out that you know those positives the side of the fact that the economy might be recovering its only down half you know instead of maybe 75 percent so i mean. Thats better and maybe theres a better market now for used cars those positives hide hurts as equity holders are still taking on significant risk shareholders rarely recover anything from companies that a file for chapter 11 because under u. S. Bankruptcy code all of the companys debts must be repaid in full before stockholders recover anything well you know when i was a stock broker in the 1980 s. This type of situation in the herx stock being traded would not have existed for the simple reason that you would not have anyone making a market in herbs stock because there would be no the quiddity there would be no counterparty there would be no buyers and sellers because a bankrupt company so why is her stock even being traded in their 2020 is because the market maker that function that allows market orders to happen instantaneous buys and sells and to be the intermediary is funded with 0 percent money and its mostly done by robots and algorithms so the fact that youve got a bunch of misinformed robinhood traders putting in by orders on what should be a delisted bankrupt companies doesnt change the fact that an algorithm sees the buy orders and dips into a pool of free money to match those orders as part of the counterparty job of a market maker and so it is now the beginning of a mean economy driven entirely by names i mean like pepe the frog was me make a metaphor chan and it basically defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016 because she was on she was that the french aristocratic party in the middle of the jungle she didnt understand that the world had changed every member Dennis Hoppers quote is about dialectics so you know the definition of dialectics the art of investigating are discussing the truth of opinions so opinions are often wrong but markets are always right so in terms of this hurts share price in the pink to class. Saying green is robin hood app you know this is an app for americans to buy stocks and cryptocurrency s. And things like that and theyre pouring into it as its going down so is the market right. Or their opinions right like so it is the nature of this discussion is especially remarkably that the other side of these trades including American Airlines is another one similar to this is that the other side of this trade on the robin hood out are the titans of art world of of investing so its a remarkable moment a clash of contradictions dialectics look at contradictions within a society and yes i think most of the Political Class most of the elite media class and most of the elite investing class like Warren Buffett are that in that french chateau calmly eating like with their butler serving them in the middle of this chaos right when you strip out all fundamental analysis what youre left with is gambling its just pure gambling which is part of my model of the casino gulag right so are all locked down on the good leg and were all on our robin hood gambling is just pure gambling well weve got to go but in the words of kilgore another character from apocalypse now you know some day this war is going to end. Is youll be via reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe from. Isolation or community. Are you going the right way or are you being led so. Direct. What is truth what is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. For a mate in the shallows. The big. One else seemed wrong why dont we all just dont all. The world get to shape our disdain to come to advocate and engagement equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Welcome back to the kaiser report imax keyser time now to go to jeff booth these entrepreneur checked later author of the price of tomorrow why deflation is the key to an abundant future this book is getting huge traction everywhere its causing quite a stir geoff booth welcome thanks for having me max all right so its just the stablish the basic premise here so sense the 1990 s. And the introduction of the internet and the answer doc sharon of the new Network Economy that relies on the Digital Economy where the underlying asset digitization the cost is falling exponentially the cost for storing processing and storing processing and the band with for this new economy the price is always collapsing toward a price point called 0 that a some pot a curve thats deflation and youre pointing out that jobs are kind of being discerned to mediated out of existence and youre also positing that the central bank to make up the difference is engaged in massive money printing and the end of the result of all this will be an extreme society of overlords at the fed in the central bank and everyone else is basically unemployed is that a Fair Assessment sir youve pretty much nailed it thats ok so the title of the book is the key to an abundant future right so the abundance here would be the abundance of these free. Economy thats essentially free what what kevin kline wrote about in his book in 1905 the increased return economics and so where do you take it from there take it from there sir. So you know you said it we have massive declines in prices coming because of technology and i can see. Why is it that isnt a good say if you look at your phone just about every hour on it is free you have more more more and more and more abundance all the time my 1st phone costs 2 1000. 00 and our 1st phone bill for cell phone bill cost 1200. 00 and all it is made phone calls now if you think about the power that you have sitting in your phone from a camera 2 or Virtual Assistant everything its just all coming down that are crazy costs you can buy it doesnt make you stop buying the newest phone either its not a place in like we used to see where people stock purchases we line up. The apple store for an the new phone when we can buy last years phone for 50. 00 an implant. And all of that is coming as it is so thats one giant force driving into society thats making prices come down and iscariot coming against another giant or salute which is a money printing machine which is just in those forces competing against each other are driving essentially asset prices. And all of the secondary taxes. Anxiety or anxiety loss of hope people people in iraq race trying to were. Trying to work harder and harder to keep up with rising our prices to be that are created in the 1st place by the Center Governments trying to stop slashing and 1st course right ok so i think the forces they lay out the book i mean its pretty well established now he can see a structural unemployment as now being part of the economy and almost a permanent underclass in the face of these tech overlords who are wielding this economic a bully stick that is driven by their free kind of access to this new way of economy but let me ask you this the pentagon just apparently released a study and this was reported by the answer sept its called the z. Belly and the threat is that the generations a those born after 1996 are on to the game they feel theyve sussed it out they figured it all out now particularly how the fed is connected to all this and so theyre buying bitcoin and big quaint being a hard money equivalent to gold and a way to have an confiscate a ball immutable wealth as a way to fight back and this is kind of new in they pop the Popular Culture is just getting wind of this but this is been going on now for a few years so generation the he is going to war against the tech overlords do you see that happening and what are their chances of winning. Yeah 1st of all i see their claim as a likely candidate for a very likely candidate or a World Reserve currency so i see it as as a really good chance of winning over time because it works on a network effect. And and as it increases the current currency is only trust and not an obligation so so why do you trust the us currency it its not that facing zeros on the currency you trust the obligation of the government to have an exchange of value and as parents do more and more to erode the exchange of value all over the world something will emerge and decline seems to be that one thats emerging as something that the people trust more and so currency is it can go on trial a long time like when they break they break her majesty and so a loss of loss of face happens in an instant would you say this is ray of hope for jhansi in other words. The there on this robin hood app which is easily accessible app they can trade stocks they can buy pick coin they have really done something remarkable while Warren Buffett was dumping his Airline Stocks and panic selling that these guys on kids jhansi and robin hat have been buying same thing with hertz as as carl icahn was puking out his cert stock at the low jhansi on robin at was buying it up they prices have double triple quadruple then theyre rolling profits over in typical i mean are they now masters of the game have they figured it out and you know i say this there were a lot of bad yes so i hope so the but but i would say that i would say this this is a structural problem and and governments all over the world are trying theyre creating actually more problem by trying to fight typical policy response was a structural problem t
