  • I love you, Peter, but sometimes I think you need to spend less time bobbing your own nob, if you know what I mean.

  • Great stuff, Peter! Greetings from Bulgaria!

  • please stop getting into debt-that is what they want you to do...

  • Q3/2010....

  • Please no Spam.

  • The people don't want to talk to you for one of two reasons: They knew the truth but don't want the rest of us to know so they can take over more of the economy, or they are truly idiots and insanely jealous of you and will not allow you to make them feel like fools. But I think the first reason is the most likely reason. I think they want this implosion and are helping cause it on purpose so they can take over more of our lives and make us all serfs.

  • Peter....Keep speaking from the heart and keep telling the truth. The main reason alot of us listen to you is because you stick to your principles. I have read your books and I have recently invested in Euro Pacific. I wish you the best of luck running for Senate!

  • Chill out Sir Peter and temper your arrogant tone. You come off as very proud and holier than thou in this video. You sound like a crybaby, unlevelheadeded bookseller, not the statesman we hope you will become. I know you don't like career politicians, but if you would to be a bit more humble, people might respect you more, both as a person AND someone who predicted the crisis. Just my thoughts - that's all. Keep up the good work - Norway

  • not really defending him i see what you are saying and youre right. but even though he may sound arrogant that is part of why i like him. he sounds natural like he is just speaking his mind.. not caring if he sounds arrogant or anything.. just being honest about what he thinks. But yes your advice is totally right.

  • doom monger

  • Are you better? You come off as very proud and holier than thou in this comment; I hope you realize that. This is Peter's personal vlog. He can say whatever he wants, and he's not a public servant, BTW.

    Maybe some of those "generous," public servants you clearly advocate can steal more of our money to bailout Wall Street while they're at it. Is it better to be "generous," with other people's money than honest? Can Chris Dodd or Nancy Pelosi credibly be called "humble?" I hope you don't vote.

  • Shiff is good.

    But what is it with this "me monster" rant. Yes, we know you predicted many of the current problems. You are not the ONLY one. Anyone with half a functioning brain knew this was going to happen.

  • Tell that to the Keynesians. Only a handful of people predicted this.

  • I'm referring to his prediction and not necessarily to his economic views. Don't be so flippant with your "thumbs."

  • Peter...enough with the shameless self-promotion.

  • If you don't like it stop listening.

  • Thats a load of horse shit. If someone is an honest and good person going into politics to change something, and not to become a career politician, they wont become corrupt. Ron Paul is a perfect example. Also, go back to school and learn the difference between You're and your and then come back and talk politics.

  • Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

  • Yes, but you arent. Since you don't even know the difference between you're and your.

  • It's spelt aren't dumbass....retard

  • It's spelled "spelled" dumbass.

  • Ron Paul called it too!! Funny how those with an understanding of economics also oppose Obamacare...

  • It feels like the government isn't even ours anymore, I feel like I am living in someone else's country.

    We have all watched this play out, we know what the country needs, we try to stop the politicians but they continue down their own path like they are on rails, ignoring everyone they are supposed to be representing.

    It feels like a rogue government uncoupled from its people.

  • Peter, we'll do our part to make sure your voice is heard in the media and in the public. As long as you keep these videos coming, it'll be up to us, the people, to spread the message! Thank you for your work!

  • The American politics is afraid Peter'a since can tell the society too much... My admiring America is just falling through... Everyone is lying to the country, but America is beating records!

  • hi peter you said you will be on CNN at 1pm est, i waited for you but all other dumb asshole showed up to praise spending but not you? probably they dont want to see truth that is why you were not there

  • Funny how that works, eh Peter? They laugh & criticize you for saying it in the first place, then they say you "claim" to have done the very thing they laughed & criticized you for!

    They know darn well what caused this. All they care about is the hurt isn't on them because they can continue to feed at the trough. Yes, this is going to be the excuse to shut down the free market with cumbersome regulation.

  • excellent

    stay confident

  • If the poles get it , it should be a no brainer...lol thx Mr. Schiff

  • Don't feel bad Peter, something tells me Congress didn't invite anyone else who predicted the crisis either.

    Further, many in the media are desperate. They see their cushion jobs on the line and don't want to admit they were wrong.

    The truth can be a big pill to swallow at times. Judging by the many people in this country that are in denial, that tells me we are no where near a bottom.

    Take it easy Peter, and thanks for the warning(s).

  • Maybe after this Peter will finally realise that they are destroying the economy on purpose.

  • I agree spyletu. Since America has more secrets than every other country in world.... And I think that it is not this way... I met with some of people from the USA and they told me they didn't know what to go farther in their country... I don't like Bush... The senior and the Junior... they were the worst politicians America could have which

  • I'm really sorry about my last comment. I think that Peter is the best politician in your country... Every people lying... in Poland too... but why politicians lying about crisis? I wrote about Lehman Brothers in my test on Knowledge about society. And I think that a problem is in politicians...

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • I love what you do Peter, but a little humility won't hurt.

  • ya worry about humility with a financial nuke exploding three feet from you.. i don't see the practical benefit of this washington dc wisdom being so helpful in the past in solving problems, that someone else needs to help spread their attitude outside d.c. thanks.

  • The government can't agree with Peter's views.

    If they did it would destory the whole philosophy by which they run the economy.

  • If you're not a Keynesian, then Washington won't call you.

    Also, like Peter said, they already have a verdict. Now, they're going to make the evidence fit the verdict.

    Instead, they should be looking at ALL of the evidence first - and then come up with a verdict.

  • Peter, Have you ever thought that since you've email reporters etc. since 2003 that the dems in government used your info to make sure your predictions came true? Think about it. Look at how Franks, Dodd and the all the other dems made laws to giver our loans to those who couldn't pay F&F or with the banks back, even though Bush was sounding the alarm. The dems in congress simply ignored all sound advice and took the word of those who controlled the money. Why? Because they're all on the take!

  • Peter, you Ron Paul and Dennis K. will be the ones to save us and restore balance in the US.

  • Keep speaking out Peter, you're a modern day hero for wanting to return this country to fiscal sanity in a sea of clueless talking heads.

  • Basic Economic question from a noob. Someone help me out:

    If the FDIC creates a moral hazard and allows banks to take big risks in a recession (which they otherwise wouldn't have) by guaranteeing deposits, what is so bad about the fed lowering interest rates in a recession? Wouldn't interest rates come down naturally in a recession anyway?

    I'm not being critical, just asking 'cause I don't know.

  • because when interest rates are too low people would barrow money they couldnt otherwise pay back, when interest rates are high only businesses with specific plans would get loans and only if they really needed them. If interest rates are at 0% its basically free money and people will barrow money they cant possibly pay back, but the banks dont care because they think the fed will just bail them out like last time.

  • Interest rates would not come down naturally in a recession.

    Interest rates in a decentralized sound money economy would change according supply/demand of capital and risk evaluation of those holding the capital. They would likely go higher in a recession as the demand for capital would be high to float operations, the supply constrained, and the risk comparatively higher.

    HOWEVER, importantly, in a decentralized sound money economy you wouldn't get booms/busts like we get now in the first.

  • I would agree in that government spending must end quickly but personal/consumer spending should continue. Economics 101, consumer spending stimulates the economy. Too bad we had to spend 9 trillion in order to understand this important fact. There is a down side to consumer spending and that would be if the consumer is borrowing to spend, then we would certainly be heading for an even greater problem. Spending money at home that hasn't been borrowed will make the biggest difference, home = US

  • Peter for Senate

  • Not only did he predict the crisis, he was confident and knew he was right.

  • I think it's pretty obvious that the congressional committee is just a bogus apparatus that isn't supposed to find anything, similar to how cigarette companies hire "scientists" to find correlations between tobacco and cancer.

    Wall street controls Washington; it's not some kind of issue that the politicians are simply so dumb that they don't realize it. In fact, they are all complicit with a few exceptions.

  • Thanks God for Peter Schiff - so much knowledge on tap for the Public to hear the truth. Senator Schiff I commend you.

  • I hope you are ready for more personal attacks. Have you been called racist yet? Maybe Zionist is next. It's all in their playbook.

  • I support Peter for President (OR SENATE)! Ruth from FL

  • As Hank says, I do not use email or the internet, thus what's google?

  • I'm a social Liberal, but fiscal conservative.  I partially support Peter Schiff.

  • You want to be a mass murderer, but you only bought a couple of bullets. How does that work?

  • your analogy is in poor taste.

  • all this and he's modest too!

  • i just saw the last movie james cagney ever made back in 1961. it was called "one, two, three." the movie was hilarious and relevant to our time because it contrasted socialism and capitalism. funny now many of the lines from the actor who played the socialist are the same you hear today from people like michael moore. social justice.

    "You walk in, plant yourself squarely on both feet, look the other fella in the eye, and tell the truth." - James Cagney's advice to co-star Pamela Tiffin.

  • Ive noticed his videos increase in popularity. Good

  • Peter definitely stands closer to the humble end of the spectrum (with arrogant completely out of sight). But I do think it would've been cool if he said something like "They could call me, Marc Faber, Jim Rogers, Ron Paul, Bill Bonner, or anyone who understands the virtues of sound money and the Austrian Theory of the Business Cycle and they'd have the answer. But it's a trivial concern in the end.

  • Donate: peterschiffforsenate com

  • Peter,

    You are correct. They are NOT trying to figure out what caused FANNIE MAYHEM. They're trying to put together a good story that blames the liberty of market-based economies for their Fannie Fascism; a good story of how liberty is the problem, and MORE fascist governance is the solution.

    Obama's Chief of Staff, Raul Emanuel, wasted no time in proselytizing their fascist lies with his "Let's be clear ..." speech from the capital as the bailouts were being rammed through.

  • To people who think that Peter should be more humble: Imagine that you go through school where people who don't understand economics try to "educate" you. Then you create a EPC from zero, predict NASDAQ crash, 2007 crisis, and then you hear that people who know nothing will be experts that will tell US public why the crisis happened.

    Also if you listen to WSU you will hear that Peter says that he wasn't the only one, but that he was on the TV more than the other guys who got it right.

  • thank you, Peter Schiff

  • Gotto agree many stupid peeps who aint able to comprehend peter's word of wisdoms.

    Thanks to his constant enlightenment I managed to save heaps of money by delaying my usd purchase as far as I could to pay for imports from china.

    4 thumbs up !!

  • Peter, people are plain stupid. They couldnt tell their heads from their ass.

  • I wish I had half the brain as Peter.

  • Our entire economy has gone Ponzy.

  • True

  • Zionist terrorists? Are you fucking people insane? You would support muslims over jews? Muslims are absolutely insane as a group. The muslims have multiple countries to call home, the jews only want one.

  • I'm atheist. I would support other atheists. Not Jews, Christians or Muslims. Some of them are insane but not all. Gypsies don't have home and their don't complain. Zionists don't have right to kill innocent people just because _their_ god told them that it is promised land.

  • That's nice....Fail, move along.

  • Explain please

  • Peter you are absolutely stunning and honest person and unfortunately people dont like truth, we thank you for informing us, please keep it up please

  • Thank you again and keep it up.

  • Just keep telling it like it is and let mainstream media continue to discredit itself.

  • Hell yes Peter. Keep up the assault. Not that you need to be reminded but you have MILLIONS of men and women that understand what your saying. Keep shamelessly calling these dirt bags out!

  • Do you know who is the most influential Country to the US government regarding foreign policy? Have you seen these PROTEST pictures from America? Google this: who is congress listening to - it will be the first article on Google. If youre interested in this topic, there is a really well done documentary on Google Video: The Israel lobby - The influence of AIPAC on US Foreign Policy.----------------

  • The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists.

  • I like Peter but capitalism is dying. Good riddance I say.

  • Wow, wrong channel to spew that. Don't forget to set your alarm. The bread line gets awful long if you get there to late. Then you will be punished to make the bread and watch the others eat.

  • if you had insurance it would pay for emergency room care. if you didnt, and the cost was high (head transplant) im sure the hospital would work with you to pay over time. friends, family, charities, and some local government aid could help. in a totally free market the costs and wait times would be much lower due to increased competition from clinics. if youve seen any movies from the 50s, hospital emergency rooms were not the zoos they are today. they were not the only place you could go.

  • Buying gold as a form of savings drives the indicators in a deceptive way.

    The purchase of gold is perceived as increased spending.

    Pulling the money out of the bank to buy the gold is perceived as reduced savings.

    So help the American spender sober up by making fewer savings available for them to borrow from. Buy Gold.

  • CPI is not only like trying to drive by looking in the rearview mirror, it's like trying to drive using a funhouse rearview mirror.

  • Now that you're in politics, videos like these are probably going to be taken out of context in order to discredit and bash you. They are already making up stuff to make you look bad, it's not a stretch that they'd put up something like "look at this video, Schiff is so full of himself, vote our candidate instead". Please consider it.

    Thanks for all the videos and articles (I'm a seeking alpha reader), and good luck in the senate race!

  • Why are they only do this NOW, AFTER they've already done so many things to "fix" this crisis? If they don't have a clue, admittedly, as to what caused the crisis, then why did they think they knew how to fix it?

  • Take an economics class.

  • Peter, you're perfectly correct, as usual. That's a great idea to scan the internet for articles about you and then comment on them for factual accuracy. Let's turn the hardball around on the ones who are trying to discredit you! Schiff for senate 2010!

  • peter's simply pointing out that the people on this committee have no interest in listening to a diverging opinion.

  • i use paypal.

  • government is insane. most of society is, actually

  • Getting puffed up in your pride, huh Peter? Its gonna turn you into a quack and you don't control it. And you'll end up just as messed up as the rest of them in the Senate.

  • I don't think peter is getting pulled in his pride. Peter just wants some recognition for predicting the financial melt down, but instead hes getting people distorting his views or out right ignoring them.

  • Yet another video about Peter getting it right!! Yawnnnnnn

  • This "crisis commission" is just another example of government covering up their blunders. Just as Keynesian economics provides the necessary fallacies irresponsibility, this commission will provide the necessary fallacies for Keynesian economics.

  • Yes Peter, we get it you're super smart and the greatest economist in the world who appears in Google searches. Now stop with your bragging. Sheesh I really hate ego-driven people like this.

  • Ha! You would be ego-driven too if you were in his shoes.

    I don't blame him. If the man helps to bring back the gold standard and sound money then he is allowed to brag and gloat till the day he dies.

  • To be honest I don't think our money should just be on a gold standard. I think our money should be tied into gold, silver, and other precious metals.

  • precious metals, I agree. I have a bit of silver but I think lead will outperform... At least looking at it through my "scope" of the situation.

    Thank you Pete. I believe if it weren't for the Mises school and it's "fellows" I'd be cannon fodder.

  • Right this minute I will go on google news and search for article on Peter Schiff and comment on them.

  • Same product, same shelf, a few different prices marked on them. You had to "hunt" at the grocery store.

  • Another excellent vid with good insight. thanks Peter.

  • Oh cmon, you butt kisser. Peter is hawking fear and some products. Follow the trail and see where it leads. Does Peter have a newsletter for $189 a year or a line on some metals for sale?

    His gig is just behind the curtains.

    UbuntoO

    He uses the same fear the W and Palin use tho too. Death squads out to get us!

    Muhahahahaha , Yeah right Peter. Right.

    UbuntoO

    I'm going to go fallow Peters bunny trail and see what he' sreally selling.

    BRB

  • UbuntoO, get a life. The man knows what he is talking about. Stop being so negative and jealous. why are you on this site? If you don't have anything good to say, don't say it at all. don't reply. trust me, I do not have anymore to say to a slug like you.

  • OK OK, Sorry for the name calling Linda. The reason I'm here is to learn. Sometimes in the quest for a lively discussion I stir the pot a bit too much. My apologies. So far I've gone to some of Peters sites and links and am impressed with what I have found. Excellent discussions and no sales. The linked Julian Robertson interview I just watched on CNBC was well worth the quest I will continue searching.

    Again, my apologies for being rude..

    UbuntoO

  • The problem. Apology accepted. I hope you find what you are looking for. You might want to listen to Gerald Celente. He's a bit harsh, but he's real.

  • I've never believed in owning Gold because i've always heard it was a lousy investiment, but after watching "Peter Schiff was right" I had to believe you and not the other people... I do own GLD.

    I've lived in Brazil in the 80's early 90's I do remember the hiperinflation we had back then. Always looked for the products in the back of the shelf because the store people couldn't keep up with remarking prices every day on every item so they only marked up the products in the first few rows.

  • Paul/Schiff 2012!!

  • we speak your name

  • Peter, you plain old get it. I was hearing you long before the impending gloom. Comments from some these blow holes below really amaze me. You're not peddling fear. You're just a voice of reality. You're also giving gold-standard advise and by all means, take your cut and bolster your senate campaign coffers. Here is one realist rooting for you in a big way. Thanks for your sharing your voice in these exciting times.

  • We cite you in "Surviving the Second Great Depression" too. Keep it up Peter!

  • Peter, i do send your videos and articles to people i know and i do search for your articles a few times a week. Because i agree with the fact that we need to wake people up if we ever want to get out of this mess. I'm so glad i've been listening to you and got out of the US Dollar several months ago invested in the Brazilian REAL. Already earned almost 30% just by getting out of the dollar as you recomended. Plus that money is ivested in Brazilian CDs eaning me additional 18% a year...Sweet!

  • ive earned 20% just by buying the australian dollar. thanks to peter schiff.

  • Though somewhat irrelevant, I would like say setting aside differences, that this is really cool that with the internet nowadays we can actually have these discussions with other people anywhere in the world.

  • Peter, I'm hearing a lot of negatives out of you, which is fine - but you should counterbalance it with some positives. I think one of the brightest pictures you've painted was what the United States would be like without the giant government gorilla on its back. Cheaper everything, unbelievably high standard of living, etc. etc. A football commentator may be able to criticize very well but that doesn't mean he can run a touchdown. Show them you can play the game.

  • Whatever you do, don't get too angry and frustrated that the politicians aren't ethical. Remember "Knowledge and Decisions" from your reading list - these politicians aren't acting irrationally, they're acting according to the incentives in front of them, which do not direct them to fulfill the best interests of the country. That's why we need you in there to talk them away from the steering wheel.

  • What's he selling besides fear.

    Bet it's a gold product of some kind or gold instrument. Takes a cut of each transaction and makes a fortune on the fear he peddles.

    Read fast he'll delete this comment.

    Ubunto

  • do you even know how much precious metals have outperformed dow in the past decade? you can read numbers at the very least right? and to respond to your paranoia (not sure why i'm even doing it), nah, you'll just join all the other crazy nut economic illiterates in the -10 club.

  • Not paranoid. Been deleted before by Peter for suggesting he's not advising he's selling like a mattress salesman or Cal Worthington used cars.

    So if Metals have run up the last 10 years you might ask yourself whats going to go up the next ten. It may not be metals. It may be natural gas or wood or paper, or a China index or take a look at Sands Resorts stock price. They have world wide exposure. How about some mining stocks if you want to stay in this sector

    UbuntoO

    Sell Peter Sell

  • so then either provide your advice or actually argue with rationale based on what's already happened--most of what he predicted came true. i'm not sure why you seem to argue in the context that what he said hasn't been true and base your argument on what might happen in the future, while his prediction was based on the past decade and most of it happened?

  • If we're going to support news coverage of Peter Schiff by increasing clicks, then I suggest everyone go to Google News and set up an automatic notification for any news containing his name! That way you get a daily list of links and can simply click on each one to create traffic and encourage more articles!

  • That mortgage bankers video was very good.

  • pichunter

  • THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO UNITE BEHIND PETER SCHIFF, RON PAUL, RAND PAUL, AND THE FEW OTHER TRUE AMERICANS!

    We need to fight the good fight.

    No more socialism and outrageous debt!

    Limited government!

  • How about everyone STFU about religion

  • i second that motion.

  • i think the committee is worried peter might go all al pacino on them: "If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place!"

  • what is the name of these hearings? i want to monitor it.

  • Can I attend the event in Chicago? Thanks for info.

  • Peter I love you're vlogs..and all those with any Intelligence will seek you out..but this vlog came off as self-serving.

    p.s. Get rid of all these 911 toofers..they will kill you're election..I don't want to see my contribution I sent you go to waste

  • Ron Paul said it best on the daily show "How do you expect a fraudulent government to regulate fraud"

  • Oh Peter ...Those comitees dont want the truth ..They want statistical fluff...You dont sugar coat the truth ...They want sugar coated fairy tales....Thank god you dont give it to them...keep up the great work...were listening!

  • unfortunetly chris dodd barney frank and others got cushey mortgage deals

    and half of congress will be in jail.

    the corruption runs deep and wide.

    i fear next will be martial law

    and civil war

    thankyou congress bush clinton and obama you destroyed america

    and peter is a voice in the wind

    oh well i hope people love all of the crap they bought for cheap

    because now we are broke and the commies own us.

  • Where is Wall Street Unspun?

    I look forward to it each week, and it hasn't appeared...

    :(

  • google:

    europac Weekly Radio Show Archives

  • Thanks Michael - I'm listening to it now!

  • me too. :-)

  • agreed Mr. Schiff, the facts do speak for themselves and you hit the nail on the head, twice!!!!!

  • spain has 25 percent uenployment starts at 18 months benfits we get 6 months benefits then scraps every 12 week extensions starve then crackers banks get trillions this country is in a depression corruption you can beleive in. only reason they gave us an extra 25 dollars on uenployment is so you wouldnt qualify for food stamps 35 million on food stamps 35 million manufactering jobs gone 20 million lost there jobs 100 million to old or young to work 100 million to support us
  • There are hedge fund managers that made billions shorting Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Have they been consulted about what made them convinced the system was about to implode? NO! THEY DON'T WANT TO KNOW! Let's get some revenge by getting you into the Senate and then the White House!

  • we know the truth thanks to you Peter.

  • They have no interest in 'why it happened' (they know why, they did it)

    This is all about coming up with new regulations/CONTROL!

  • good vid!

  • if they brought on people that predicted it, they couldn't say "no one could have seen this coming" anymore

  • They conjure up "good news" to lull us into thinking things are getting better. Gerbels would be proud of this bunch we have in Washington and the msm.

  • 310 views but ratings 364? more u tube screw ups they should work for the goverment oh wait they do hahahahhah october is here kiddies the fun just started peter i have your answer they care only about feeding there fat faces and sold out america to china under free trade does treason mean anything in this country anymore bush clinton obama eguals benedict arnold america will be in revolution warren commision im a patsy sound familer
  • As of 8:45 pm ET this clip has 182 comments, it has been rated 362 times, yet only has 310 views!! LOL Thats awesome!!

  • Peter when and where are you speaking in Chicago?

  • don't worry about it

  • Can people stop arguing about the fucking palestinians and shit. who gives a fuck. if you want to argue, swap emails. dickheads

  • 9/11 happened because US allowed Israel to kill innocent palestinians.

  • Barely a scratch of the surface.

  • Explain please. What was reason for Bin Laden to attack US other than Palestine?

  • bin laden was cia until his death

    9/11 was a mossad operation

    to learn about this you can start by looking at the video: "mossad truck bombs on sept 11"

  • Bombing Iraq for 10 years, bases on the "Holy Land" of Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia turning to the US instead of Bin Laden to help fight off Saddam's army is a few to name. Palestine is just another reason.

  • jihad is one. The palestinians are Jordanian immigrants and still even hold their Jordanian passports and citizenship, they are also far from innocent. If they wanted peace they would move back to Jordan.

  • palestinian women and children are far from innocent????

  • Yep, the Jordanian immigrants of Gaza aka the Palestinians voted in a terrorist origination with over 70% of the vote, twice. Their children are taught to hate Jews from an early age and are encouraged to do suicides in the name of Islam.

  • So peter what your saying is the system is fixed?

    ANd the media is just a puppet for big gov.

    Say it aint so peter say it aint so!!

  • thanks

  • I think Peter is a little upset. Then again, I would be to if my brilliance was swept under the rug like it never existed.
