CNBC Anchor *LOSES IT* | MASSIVE Freakout on Bank Bailouts
FULL TRANSCRIPT
yes they're talking about mortgage
Holdings at a bank whose clients are
super interest rate sensitive the whole
thing from top to bottom in my opinion
is just horribly mismanaged and the fact
that we're giving anybody a Buy in this
instance is so nothing to be proud of I
think that's pretty much that was my
question for you Rick dude right on
right freaking on this guy nailed it
this is ridiculous this bailout and
whether individuals should be bailed out
the bank should be bailed out do you
hold these depositors effectively
accountable
my mom's 87 years old she still moves
her money around she's very cognizant of
insured up to what 250 000 means and I
don't suspect there's a lot of
businesses that could have less than
that which means they need to do their
due diligence and where they domicile
their money yeah I have no sorry
feelings for anybody and when I hear
stories that people are happy that
they've done this because their
relatives have deposits my guess is all
the relatives were thinking about
probably Handler money with more care
than the clients of this Bank okay and
then finally Rick now now that it
appears that that everybody's being
backstopped it turns effectively so many
banks into public utilities yep how
should how should they be operated then
what should Executives get paid to do
what they do running our Public
Utilities you answered your own question
look at our Public Utilities you know
when we first invented cars and gasoline
they both grew up together you had no
gas stations you hardly had any cars
they grew up together now here we are of
course trying to make EVS happen
overnight in an inorganic way okay same
thing we're talking about energy
companies as utilities to me when you
put those words together when any entity
becomes a utility it just becomes more
mismanaged as they go arm and arm with
the government right Rick thank you we
got some other news beginning yeah look
he is so right I mean straight up fact
bombs there yesterday I went into uh
Mario's Twitter spaces a lot of people
in there Bill Ackman you had
presidential candidates in there
Senators congressmen people well anybody
who really matters on Twitter was either
listening or in there I had the honor of
speaking on that Twitter spaces and I
was one of the people one of the very
few people actually taking the
contrarian point of view now I like to
do that not solely to be contrarian but
because I do feel like I have different
perspectives and my argument was hold on
a second maybe
depositors should be taking at least a
little bit of a haircut because if
depositors don't take a little bit of a
haircut and the government which is
exactly what they ended up doing ends up
just bailing out everyone what they're
sending the signal of is don't worry
Banks if you fail because you're too
risky with your lending don't worry we
will bail you out even if you're less
than too big to fail in other words
you're smaller than too big to fail
you're too small and to to fail well
that doesn't make sense because now
we're basically saying bail everyone out
my thesis is all you're doing by a
hundred percent backstopping everyone is
giving the middle finger to FDIC
Insurance you've just told all of
America that a 250 000 limit that is
your insured limit per account per
person so you could actually you know
Jerry rig that all the way up to like
two million dollars you can go to the
fdic.gov and you can figure out oh if I
have uh an IRA if my wife has an account
if I have an account if we have a joint
account you can do all the math and you
can get up to two million dollars in
FDIC Insurance all you have to do is go
to fdic.gov and figure it out but
basically what the government just said
is hey um that 250 000 limit
we weren't serious about that the limits
actually infinite don't worry you're too
stupid to understand that when you go to
a small community bank and they
underwrite your loans well maybe we
don't even know what underwrite means
when they give you a loan without even
asking what your income is or can airing
if you have any income kind of like 2008
when dead people got loans for mortgages
and people were like well housing just
goes up forever maybe maybe the
government just thought to say don't
worry we'll pamper you all the way from
birth to death because you're too stupid
to figure it out yourself to me it's a
big middle finger to people who actually
are diligent with their money we all
have heard about 250k FDIC there's
nobody that goes into a bank and doesn't
know about it because there's signs and
stickers everywhere that tell you you
know once you have more than 250k and
subject to the various different
accounts rules that I talked about that
you're at risk and the fact that you
benefit as a depositor from the
incentives the bank gives because
they're taking riskier action by either
offering you higher rates lower fees or
no underwriting basically simple lines
of credit for basically uh businesses
that have no cash flow mortgages for
business owners of businesses that have
no cash flow that are super risky now
the bank takes all the risk and what
you're saying by creating an unlimited
guarantee for them not even taking a
mere what maybe even a five percent
haircut of deposits off of over 250k
well you're basically telling every
other bank in the United States is hey
don't worry take all the risk you want
because we will bail you out no matter
what we'll just bail you out so take any
risk you want so why the hell would
anybody not now uh just take whatever
kind of risky loans they can get why
would Banks not start offering those
potentially creating even more of a
bubble in the future now short term it's
frustrating it's a middle finger to the
people who are diligent and the people
who pay attention to these sort of risks
however it's obviously a boon in the
short term for those businesses who get
all this capital and also potentially
the moral hazard that's now created is
going to potentially reanimate or
accelerate should I say the debt bubble
that we're actually in now that could
actually be fantastic for like the next
10 years it's entirely possible that 10
years from now we're just straight up
because all the banks are like
we're just going to get bailed out so
let's just lend money like crazy and
what could happen is you could have the
craziest bull market ever for the next
10 years and really what you're just
doing is setting up an even bigger
bubble to pop in the future you're
kicking the can down the road that's all
it is it's Corp it's it's banking
socialism is what it is nobody's allowed
to lose money no because everybody's too
stupid to handle things themselves let's
just let's just you know let taxpayers
all distribute the the costs now I get
it people keep saying Kevin Biden and
the treasury Department say no it's not
taxpayers that are paying the bill yup
yeah it is these are facilities that
were established by the Federal Reserve
to take toxic assets and were funded by
taxpayers back in 2008 after the
Dodd-Frank crisis it's called the
treasury exchange stabilization fund
it's ultimately what backstops the
program when the FED loses money on the
toxic assets they're buying through the
B tfp bailout facility it's the acronym
is not by the effing fed pivot uh but
that's that's what it kind of seems like
but anyway
um it's wild because when that program
actually takes losses guess who's gonna
cover the bill
taxpayers so it's totally a fraud in my
opinion to basically call this not a
taxpayer-funded bailout but whatever let
them label it however they want uh their
goal right now is to prevent contagion
to me it just sends a big signal that
the fed's not concerned about inflation
anymore not only is the Fed not
concerned about inflation but they're
able to wake up on a Sunday because
they're so nervous about what's actually
happening in markets that they realize
oh crap it's probably not going to end
with this one bank it's probably going
to keep getting worse I don't know
that's just that's just my thesis I mean
maybe maybe I'm wrong to say people
should actually look at an insurance
policy and go that says I'm only insured
up to 250k maybe I should be smart about
where I put my money and diversify oh
wait why would I do that I'll just act
dumb and let the FED bail me out and
sure enough that's exactly what they do
whatever man whatever you know the
reality is the vast 99 of Americans
don't exceed the 250k FDIC limit anyway
so this is just straight up taking money
from taxpayers and bailing out rich
people or businesses with lots of money
now I get it I get it there are a lot of
businesses who are operating their
business paycheck to paycheck and
they're like ah but if I don't have
access to my Capital I can't payroll pay
payroll okay well you got back stopped
now take the lesson take that as a
little wake-up call and diversify your
money away don't ever put yourself in a
situation again where all your money is
sitting at at a one of these
smaller Banks to where if one of them
fails you don't have money at least if
you're at the larger Banks you know the
FED is guaranteed going to bail them out
uh and run the money printer because
they've already said that the top eight
are too big to fail right the smaller
ones maybe at least diversify amongst
the smaller ones
but then again right now the FED has set
a precedent for bailing everything out
so maybe that doesn't
