“Establishment” will try to defer and delay crises until after the election
Deutsche Bankcould trigger 2008 again, or just be “settled” quietly
An offer you can’t refuse…Italian 50 year bonds (and a horse head in bed)
Deutsche Bank
1:12
30 or 40 days until I quietly walk into
1:16
the White House it’s a unique dynamic
1:18
when you’re looking at things in play
1:20
specifically relating to Deutche Bank
1:22
you have the entire European banking
1:24
system that is under a lot of pressure
1:26
and I want that pressure is coming from
1:28
our side the Department of Justice right
1:30
well that’s right this is sort of a
1:31
clean-up operation mop up from the
1:34
2008-2009 . and before where Deutche Bank
1:38
Bank amongst many others in the
1:40
financial community were distributing
1:43
mortgage-backed securities and now the
1:45
Department of Justice is saying yes but
1:47
you knew that they were not good things
1:50
in those little packages that you put
1:51
together and you were selling them
1:53
without the adequate disclosures they
1:55
needed and we need to hold you to
1:56
account
1:57
look we’re not going to take this to
1:58
court you just pay a setup now and
2:01
everything will be fine
2:02
it’s really an interesting thing because
2:03
massive amounts of money changed hands
2:06
from Wall Street to the Department of
2:09
Justice in recent years into the
2:11
Treasury Department where they basically
2:12
said we could make a very big deal of
2:15
this or you can pay to make it go away
2:17
and they’re like okay so basically we
2:19
admit no guilt and pave any and the
2:22
problem disappears right right right
2:23
that’s exactly right venue will not
2:25
massage your knees just make the
2:27
adequate payment and everything will be
2:29
fine
2:29
well so for the person who actually is
2:31
looking at this and saying well this is
2:32
george bank that’s over in Germany
2:33
that’s really not the case they’re
2:35
closer to home than any bank actually
2:37
here in America closer to wall street
2:39
anyway
2:40
well yeah and in 1792 under a button
2:43
would tree which if i’m not mistaken is
2:44
the same thing as a sycamore tree at 68
2:47
wall street there was a signing the
2:49
document by 24 stockbrokers and what
2:53
they did
2:54
that point was launched the new york
2:56
stock exchange and decide the rules for
2:59
trading securities because that had been
3:01
fairly unruly prior to that now
3:04
Deutsche Bank is in the building closest
3:06
to that site they are a German
3:08
powerhouses you say but they also occupy
3:10
a very important place in the American
3:12
financial landscape not just because of
3:15
their real-estate position but because
3:17
the role they played in a lot of issues
3:20
here in the United States financially
3:22
that they’re very very important player
3:24
when an important player Deutsche Bank in Germany to I
3:25
mean Merkel is looking at this very very
3:27
close
3:28
she has to make the right choice
3:29
politically for herself as well it’s not
3:32
just Trump and Hillary looking at this
3:33
it’s her political career on the line
3:35
and that’s what makes this issue
3:37
Deutsche Bank more intriguing than a
3:39
mere Department of Justice settlement
3:42
the question facing miracle and the
3:45
current White House Obama and his crew
3:47
believe it or not they’re involved too
3:49
is can they allow the financial debacle
3:52
to be precipitated right now at this
3:55
moment by the Department of Justice was
3:58
14 or 15 billion bucks the Deutsche Bank
4:01
set that aside for a potential fine that
4:03
they’re looking at know they have
4:05
litigation costs which they have set
4:07
aside a couple billion but nowhere close
4:09
to the number that the DOJ suggested so
4:11
what you’re talking about is a proposed
4:14
fine which is a bank killer that
4:17
wouldn’t ordinarily be the case but
4:18
given the high leverage of that
4:20
institution and the low level of capital
4:23
and cash that Deutche Bank currently
4:26
has here’s the situation miracle can’t
4:29
bail them out or she loses political
4:31
standing and this is a very important
4:33
German institution but if she bails them
4:36
out it’s a real issue and she may even
4:39
lose her office now ordinarily I don’t
4:42
think obama or any outgoing president
4:45
would pay attention to the details of
4:46
this kind of settlement but i’m guessing
4:48
that it’s miracle and Obama that are
4:50
informing the Department of Justice
4:51
right now we’re to settle so as not to
4:55
trigger a global financial crisis
4:56
heading into the u.s. election
4:59
well and I think it’s important to look
5:00
at a global financial crisis because
5:02
it’s usually not just one bank its
5:04
Bank sometimes that can trigger the next
5:07
and the next and the next
5:08
the whole European banking system may be
5:11
on shaky ground depending on how this
5:13
turns out
5:14
well you’re right it’s the Department of
5:15
Justice pushing and the question is if
5:18
they push for two large and number you
5:20
are talking about the European banking
5:22
system the entire European banking
5:24
system which comes under a tremendous
5:26
amount of pressure and it goes beyond
5:28
way to bank commerce bank isn’t even
5:30
worse position you’ve got the Italian
5:32
Monta passkey really what we’re talking
5:35
about is the underbelly of the European
5:38
banking system which is exposed to
5:40
target to is the clearing system for
5:43
commercial banks and target two
5:45
coordinates the capital flows from the
5:47
commercial banks through the national
5:49
central banks and ultimately through to
5:53
the ECB the European Central Bank and
5:55
what you see in the target to system is
5:57
increased stresses it’s now a concern
6:01
from one commercial bank lending to
6:03
another commercial bank you have the ECB
6:06
standing in the gap
6:07
there’s basically a growing concern in a
6:10
breakdown in the interbank lending which
6:12
continues to be cut to a minimum here in
6:14
recent one day if you brought this up
6:16
before there’s really two europes when
6:18
we look at the european central banking
6:19
system you’ve got the northern countries
6:22
especially Germany that are the stronger
6:24
supposedly stronger countries then you
6:27
have these weak countries we sometimes
6:28
call the pigs
6:29
ok and those countries a lot of times
6:32
they benefited from early on having
6:36
European Central Bank membership because
6:37
they were getting low rate loans at that
6:40
time the same kind of low rate loans
6:42
that say a German would get with a
6:44
stronger system but at this point you
6:46
can see the money flowing right out of
6:48
those picks back up into the north and
6:50
that could cause i would imagine stress
6:52
for Spain Portugal Italy you know these
6:55
countries that just can’t hold it
6:57
themselves
6:58
there’s a European think-tank the
6:59
acronym is kuvira gef IRA and they
7:03
basically said look the imbalances that
7:05
we see they have nothing to do with the
7:06
trade imbalance that actually is getting
7:09
Deutche Bank – what do you think?
