FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

yes they're talking about mortgage

0:02

Holdings at a bank whose clients are

0:05

super interest rate sensitive the whole

0:08

thing from top to bottom in my opinion

0:10

is just horribly mismanaged and the fact

0:13

that we're giving anybody a Buy in this

0:15

instance is so nothing to be proud of I

0:18

think that's pretty much that was my

0:19

question for you Rick dude right on

0:21

right freaking on this guy nailed it

0:23

this is ridiculous this bailout and

0:26

whether individuals should be bailed out

0:27

the bank should be bailed out do you

0:29

hold these depositors effectively

0:33

accountable

0:35

my mom's 87 years old she still moves

0:38

her money around she's very cognizant of

0:41

insured up to what 250 000 means and I

0:44

don't suspect there's a lot of

0:46

businesses that could have less than

0:47

that which means they need to do their

0:49

due diligence and where they domicile

0:51

their money yeah I have no sorry

0:53

feelings for anybody and when I hear

0:55

stories that people are happy that

0:58

they've done this because their

0:59

relatives have deposits my guess is all

1:02

the relatives were thinking about

1:03

probably Handler money with more care

1:05

than the clients of this Bank okay and

1:07

then finally Rick now now that it

1:09

appears that that everybody's being

1:10

backstopped it turns effectively so many

1:14

banks into public utilities yep how

1:17

should how should they be operated then

1:19

what should Executives get paid to do

1:21

what they do running our Public

1:23

Utilities you answered your own question

1:25

look at our Public Utilities you know

1:27

when we first invented cars and gasoline

1:29

they both grew up together you had no

1:31

gas stations you hardly had any cars

1:33

they grew up together now here we are of

1:35

course trying to make EVS happen

1:37

overnight in an inorganic way okay same

1:40

thing we're talking about energy

1:41

companies as utilities to me when you

1:44

put those words together when any entity

1:46

becomes a utility it just becomes more

1:48

mismanaged as they go arm and arm with

1:50

the government right Rick thank you we

1:53

got some other news beginning yeah look

1:54

he is so right I mean straight up fact

1:58

bombs there yesterday I went into uh

2:01

Mario's Twitter spaces a lot of people

2:03

in there Bill Ackman you had

2:05

presidential candidates in there

2:06

Senators congressmen people well anybody

2:09

who really matters on Twitter was either

2:11

listening or in there I had the honor of

2:14

speaking on that Twitter spaces and I

2:16

was one of the people one of the very

2:18

few people actually taking the

2:20

contrarian point of view now I like to

2:22

do that not solely to be contrarian but

2:25

because I do feel like I have different

2:26

perspectives and my argument was hold on

2:29

a second maybe

2:31

depositors should be taking at least a

2:35

little bit of a haircut because if

2:36

depositors don't take a little bit of a

2:38

haircut and the government which is

2:40

exactly what they ended up doing ends up

2:42

just bailing out everyone what they're

2:44

sending the signal of is don't worry

2:47

Banks if you fail because you're too

2:53

risky with your lending don't worry we

2:56

will bail you out even if you're less

2:59

than too big to fail in other words

3:01

you're smaller than too big to fail

3:04

you're too small and to to fail well

3:09

that doesn't make sense because now

3:10

we're basically saying bail everyone out

3:12

my thesis is all you're doing by a

3:15

hundred percent backstopping everyone is

3:17

giving the middle finger to FDIC

3:19

Insurance you've just told all of

3:21

America that a 250 000 limit that is

3:25

your insured limit per account per

3:27

person so you could actually you know

3:29

Jerry rig that all the way up to like

3:31

two million dollars you can go to the

3:33

fdic.gov and you can figure out oh if I

3:35

have uh an IRA if my wife has an account

3:38

if I have an account if we have a joint

3:39

account you can do all the math and you

3:40

can get up to two million dollars in

3:42

FDIC Insurance all you have to do is go

3:44

to fdic.gov and figure it out but

3:46

basically what the government just said

3:48

is hey um that 250 000 limit

3:52

we weren't serious about that the limits

3:55

actually infinite don't worry you're too

3:58

stupid to understand that when you go to

4:01

a small community bank and they

4:03

underwrite your loans well maybe we

4:05

don't even know what underwrite means

4:06

when they give you a loan without even

4:09

asking what your income is or can airing

4:12

if you have any income kind of like 2008

4:15

when dead people got loans for mortgages

4:17

and people were like well housing just

4:18

goes up forever maybe maybe the

4:22

government just thought to say don't

4:23

worry we'll pamper you all the way from

4:26

birth to death because you're too stupid

4:28

to figure it out yourself to me it's a

4:30

big middle finger to people who actually

4:33

are diligent with their money we all

4:36

have heard about 250k FDIC there's

4:39

nobody that goes into a bank and doesn't

4:42

know about it because there's signs and

4:43

stickers everywhere that tell you you

4:45

know once you have more than 250k and

4:47

subject to the various different

4:49

accounts rules that I talked about that

4:50

you're at risk and the fact that you

4:53

benefit as a depositor from the

4:56

incentives the bank gives because

4:58

they're taking riskier action by either

5:00

offering you higher rates lower fees or

5:03

no underwriting basically simple lines

5:06

of credit for basically uh businesses

5:08

that have no cash flow mortgages for

5:10

business owners of businesses that have

5:12

no cash flow that are super risky now

5:14

the bank takes all the risk and what

5:16

you're saying by creating an unlimited

5:18

guarantee for them not even taking a

5:20

mere what maybe even a five percent

5:22

haircut of deposits off of over 250k

5:24

well you're basically telling every

5:26

other bank in the United States is hey

5:29

don't worry take all the risk you want

5:32

because we will bail you out no matter

5:34

what we'll just bail you out so take any

5:36

risk you want so why the hell would

5:39

anybody not now uh just take whatever

5:42

kind of risky loans they can get why

5:44

would Banks not start offering those

5:45

potentially creating even more of a

5:47

bubble in the future now short term it's

5:51

frustrating it's a middle finger to the

5:52

people who are diligent and the people

5:54

who pay attention to these sort of risks

5:55

however it's obviously a boon in the

5:58

short term for those businesses who get

6:01

all this capital and also potentially

6:03

the moral hazard that's now created is

6:05

going to potentially reanimate or

6:08

accelerate should I say the debt bubble

6:10

that we're actually in now that could

6:12

actually be fantastic for like the next

6:14

10 years it's entirely possible that 10

6:17

years from now we're just straight up

6:19

because all the banks are like

6:22

we're just going to get bailed out so

6:24

let's just lend money like crazy and

6:26

what could happen is you could have the

6:28

craziest bull market ever for the next

6:30

10 years and really what you're just

6:31

doing is setting up an even bigger

6:33

bubble to pop in the future you're

6:35

kicking the can down the road that's all

6:37

it is it's Corp it's it's banking

6:39

socialism is what it is nobody's allowed

6:42

to lose money no because everybody's too

6:44

stupid to handle things themselves let's

6:47

just let's just you know let taxpayers

6:49

all distribute the the costs now I get

6:52

it people keep saying Kevin Biden and

6:55

the treasury Department say no it's not

6:58

taxpayers that are paying the bill yup

7:00

yeah it is these are facilities that

7:03

were established by the Federal Reserve

7:05

to take toxic assets and were funded by

7:08

taxpayers back in 2008 after the

7:11

Dodd-Frank crisis it's called the

7:13

treasury exchange stabilization fund

7:15

it's ultimately what backstops the

7:17

program when the FED loses money on the

7:19

toxic assets they're buying through the

7:21

B tfp bailout facility it's the acronym

7:26

is not by the effing fed pivot uh but

7:30

that's that's what it kind of seems like

7:31

but anyway

7:33

um it's wild because when that program

7:35

actually takes losses guess who's gonna

7:37

cover the bill

7:38

taxpayers so it's totally a fraud in my

7:41

opinion to basically call this not a

7:43

taxpayer-funded bailout but whatever let

7:46

them label it however they want uh their

7:48

goal right now is to prevent contagion

7:50

to me it just sends a big signal that

7:53

the fed's not concerned about inflation

7:55

anymore not only is the Fed not

7:57

concerned about inflation but they're

7:58

able to wake up on a Sunday because

8:00

they're so nervous about what's actually

8:02

happening in markets that they realize

8:05

oh crap it's probably not going to end

8:08

with this one bank it's probably going

8:09

to keep getting worse I don't know

8:11

that's just that's just my thesis I mean

8:12

maybe maybe I'm wrong to say people

8:15

should actually look at an insurance

8:18

policy and go that says I'm only insured

8:21

up to 250k maybe I should be smart about

8:23

where I put my money and diversify oh

8:26

wait why would I do that I'll just act

8:29

dumb and let the FED bail me out and

8:31

sure enough that's exactly what they do

8:33

whatever man whatever you know the

8:35

reality is the vast 99 of Americans

8:38

don't exceed the 250k FDIC limit anyway

8:42

so this is just straight up taking money

8:44

from taxpayers and bailing out rich

8:47

people or businesses with lots of money

8:49

now I get it I get it there are a lot of

8:52

businesses who are operating their

8:54

business paycheck to paycheck and

8:56

they're like ah but if I don't have

8:57

access to my Capital I can't payroll pay

8:59

payroll okay well you got back stopped

9:02

now take the lesson take that as a

9:04

little wake-up call and diversify your

9:07

money away don't ever put yourself in a

9:09

situation again where all your money is

9:12

sitting at at a one of these

9:15

smaller Banks to where if one of them

9:18

fails you don't have money at least if

9:20

you're at the larger Banks you know the

9:22

FED is guaranteed going to bail them out

9:24

uh and run the money printer because

9:26

they've already said that the top eight

9:28

are too big to fail right the smaller

9:30

ones maybe at least diversify amongst

9:32

the smaller ones

9:34

but then again right now the FED has set

9:35

a precedent for bailing everything out

9:37

so maybe that doesn't
