The Oracle with Max Keiser - Episode One, part one

[luvdupraver]

If excessively cheap money "in the US" was the cause of the crisis, then what do we now have in the Europe and UK, in addition to the US and Japan?

Even more excessively cheap money, but now globally.

As Attali says in the clip, "what people are doing today to save the world is only to pile up debt to fight against debt, which is quite a silly remedy."

[BlueRaven89]

Bring Edward Griffin on the show.

[silkywilly47]

Kind of shocked to see Max with his own BBC show. His potency has always been throwing mud pies AT the (financial) establishment, becoming more outrageous and impassioned towards the end of last year. Now it seems somewhat ridiculous in BBC garb. Quinlin is not right for the show - distracting really. Max needs a more informed wit to spar against and that is more fun. Atelli is great, and it would have been more rewarding to explore his stance more.

[strangelovecraft]

Going to see Cheech & Chong this weekend in Kansas City.

Max Keiser is brilliant. Not a terrible first episode, but I hope he isnt going soft. End the fed, 9-11 was an inside job, fuck NWO globalism.

[Discoduck76]

Like StandUp555 pointed out. Max should invite Edward Griffin. The author of The "Creature from Jekyll Island". Check out watch?v=8wNgMxpVyMY. Ed's take on The Fed.

[Steak514]

Why is there a comedian on here? I'm a fan a Max but that just made no sense to me. She contributed nothing. Max is funny enough.

[elynittria]

Damn, Stacy your hot! Leave Max and marry me, I'm more flatulent

[shankyxyz]

hey maxi-staci, love the show. but you ought to make it more wacko. also call some cool guests. why dont you get georgeous george galloway in too. but stick to the wacko stone slacking nonsense you do on Resonance.

[MatteNoob]

This is not the Max Keiser I know... What a shame...

I didn't even watch the whole show. Max, please go back to Al Jazeera's People & Power, you did a lot better there...

This was actually pretty sad, he is being portraid as a loon in the opening sequence too... :(

[experimentsingeekdom]

Hey Max - just BE YOUR USUAL SELF. Don't tone it down for these dumbass mainstreamists. Believe me - all they care about is money and you WILL make a shitload from this show - but only if you're your usual freewheeling self.

[StandUp555]

Seems we think alike .. is Max selling himself off to the "establishment" here ?

BTW .. I love Max and his YouTube stuff ( AlJaz in particular ), but I have to say this on "The Oracle" :

That "ask the Oracle" piece with the flashing Orb makes the show look "cheap " .. as if he was running a Bingo show for grannies on Saturday night !

I was really disappointed by that .. I hate to post negative stuff on Max .. but that one really cracked me up !

( my first thought was "Oh my G*d ! " )

[experimentsingeekdom]

Max Rockkkkss!!!

[AntiBullS]

where can I find these credit card companies ? I have neraly perfect credit and can not get any . :) a bunch of rubbish

[experimentsingeekdom]

I've got HORRIBLE (as in *really* terrible) credit, and they just bumped up my limit on one of the cards. HAHAHAHA. Go figure!

[joeftw18]

Jacques Attali saying the US would be bankrupt..... like Argentina...

[experimentsingeekdom]

Very true.

[motina10]

Hehehe... HAHAHAHA!!! How about like... I am sure you know. ;)

[joeftw18]

?????????????????? Know what?

[motina10]

That France is bankrupt.

[kickittome70]

They are far from bankrupt

[motina10]

I guess if your a Kenyesian they are not.

[mascar33]

It will be fun to see how the show evolves. I loved it , great to see Max on my big screen.

[WOLF333999]

Really, my advice is to invite one guest each episode, and make it a good guest. Also, focus on a narrative: explain how the system works to viewers, and highlight key persons and all that. Stacy can each time a person or piece of legislation is mentioned give some facts. Lastly, just give 'em hell, Max and Stacy. Just be yourselves.

[WOLF333999]

For a premiere, it was pretty solid. I could see Max searching for balance, though, but that was a tough job: both guests were rather tame. Stacy mostly kept out of the action, so that needs more balance, too. In my opinion, the first show would have opened with a bang if a guest such as Schiff, Rogers, Paul, or Griffin had been invited. A second guest wouldn't have been necessary, allowing for more room to have Stacy and Max to kick ass.

[fafne]

My favorite from Max was on al jazeera November 16. :D

I didn´t expect Max to be as wild on the Oracle as he can be. I liked it.

[WorldIssues2000]

Not bad, although I'm used to Max being more crazy but I understand this show is for the mainstream.

[experimentsingeekdom]

I think it would be better if he were just his usual wild self - he'd BLOW the ratings in my opinion. I think the "mainstreamist" bosses at BBC probably "advised" him to tone it down a bit. What a--holes man!

[vinny1010]

Personally thought it was going to be more exciting than this ... to me it was kind of boring (even tho I love Keiser's stuff)

[LLCoolPass]

:> ciiiiiiiiaa

[Isawanangel1X]

glass steagal act again, thats also what larouche pac said

[krist300]

Great show Max and Stacy.  Here is my constructive criticism: Be angrier, and get access to a time machine.

[artdeco101010]

Nice to finally see you as well as hear you!

[Renegen1]

Nice video max, nice to have you post it here because BBC sucks and I wouldn't normally watch it!

[stringbean9000]

thanks for posting, been waiting to see it but dont get it on cable either.

[trishamafia]

I would watch this on tv if ihad cable...thanx for posting this so I don't have to miss it!

[bolognium420]

Awesome - thank you for uploading this... I couldn't get livestation to find BBC World for some reason.

[toeg1]

Great stuff.

let me know if you need a, uh, French/Spanish/English interpreter/translator, or general lackey, uh, chief bottle washer, I could learn the ancient art of smoke signals, I have the same first name as the Long Johns

I can read oreo cookies, well sorta

[etownoil98]

lol

This is awesome!

Good work Max!

God Bless!

[ZedAlfa273]

Max & Stacy rule!!!

Chicken & mushroom!!

Chicken & mushroom!!

[StandUp555]

.. and get Peter Shiff, Jim Rogers and Karl Denninger on your show as guests ...

... and even Ron Paul if possible !

;-)

[RBtoobsalot]

Alex jones would be a blast too. He is a bit of a loony but his heart is in the right place and he has been on the ball when it comes to the economic meltdown we are now experiencing. Dennis Kucinich would also make a great guest.

[StandUp555]

.. fully agree .. an important guest as well !

I'd also suggest getting Griffin on as well .. and get him to talk about his book !

[RBtoobsalot]

I like Ron Paul and reckon he's a rare breed of politician: He's honest. But I fear his slash and burn approach to getting us out of this mess may send the economy into a catastrophic cardiac arrest spiral of doom (much worse than the mess we are in now). Obama is going the way of John Maynard Keynes. Is he right? Can we use debt to get us out of a debt crisis? I dont know. I do know this though - it's all or nothing now folks. If Keynesianism fails... dammn things will get ugly in a BIG way.

[StandUp555]

I see your point .. a quick death or a drawn out agony !

IMO...

The fiat system failure is a When, not If.

Simple maths .. no way can it survive. Also, it is highly destructive for society .. despite all the talk about economic expansion being good.

Griffins TCFJI is an excellent History lesson for not just the US .. but for all.

Wasn't it Roosevelt 1933 that confiscated Gold and then devalued the US$ afterwards at 4:1 ?

So the 1000$s you got for your Gold was suddenly only worth 250!

[RBtoobsalot]

Things look grim don't they? Having said that I still have hope that wise governement investment and restructuring 'may' put things right again in the short term. But you are right. Fiat, debt based currencies are inherently unstable and doomed to fai. We need to tryu and buy oursekves some time - to help get our house in order - and deal with the

[RBtoobsalot]

wider structural changes in a manner that minimzes the pain to honest citizens.

IMHO if the bailouts are to work (and we need to bailout main street not wall street) they must be followed by a shift in economic policy away from debt and extravagence, towards a more sustainable economic model.

Anyways I feel that for the most part we agree. Good luck to you in these challenging times :)

[AmagnonX]

FDR - communist bank puppet - and beloved president for his slimy money grab.

The only thing he did that was useful was infrastructure programs.

Three things should have been done immediately in face of this crisis - equitization of debt - so banks convert loans into equity - decreasing the repayment burden - secondly - government infrastructure projects - thirdly remove or reduce capital and income taxes.

Not this policy of blatant theft.

[StandUp555]

Do a few searches for...

#1 "The Gold Confiscation Of April 5, 1933"

#2 "$ DEVALUATION: OBAMA, ROOSEVELT . & SANTOS"

My guess is Obama will have to repeat history again.

No doubt in my mind .. only about the "When" !!

[AmagnonX]

Keynsian economics is assured to fail - how can you have exponential growth in a finite system?

I doubt RP was advocating total slash and burn - but you have to destroy the toxic assets - and there aren't many ways to do it unless you let banks fail.

It would have been better to let the investment banks fail - and then insure deposits on the normal banks. They should have let Freddie and Fannie crash as well - the real estate prices need to normalize quickly.

[StandUp555]

Dear Max

your YouTube stuff is better .. maybe you should be more yourself on BBC.

IMO it is almost your first Duty to tell BBC viewers to read the book "The Creature from Jekyll Island" as a longer term overview as to what is happening.

Then tell them to read "The Econmic Hitman" for coverage of the same in modern times.

... and then just be your good old self again ... don't be so smoothe and polite !

Did they tell you to tone it down ? .. or what ?

;-)

Good luck

[scottvanska]

Thanks for uploading. My cable provider doesn't offer BBC World News.
