there's some major developments in the financial crisis in Europe an aid package coming to the rescue of Spain specifically Spain's troubled banks worth as much as 125 billion dollars stock markets in Europe initially reacted well but finished the day mixed and Wall Street today down just a little bit 33 points in the Dow alarm bells though are also ringing for banks in this country Moody's is expected to announce this week the downgrade of 17 global banks including some of the biggest US financial firms joining us live Peter Schiff president of euro pacific capital and author of the new book america's coming bankruptcy how to save yourself and your country on that optimistic note as always Peter nice to have you back with us thanks for having me on let's talk a little bit about the bank's first I know this has been telegraphed that potentially these downgrades could be coming what does it mean for us well first of all I don't think the downgrades will go far enough i think the banks are in a lot worse shape than some of these with rating agencies appreciate but we have to understand why is it that banks are in so much trouble and the reason is because of all the government involvement in the banking sector it's the government involvement that subsidizes all of their risk taking the banks are in so much debt because the government has led them down this primrose path and then we think bailouts are a solution it's just a moral hazard it encourages more of the same bad behavior that government policy created in the first place so I think we really need to get the government out of the banking sector as much as possible but I already believe that they've done so much damage that many of our major banks in this country I believe are going to fail in a more spectacular way than they did in 2008 as soon as the Fed loses control of interest rates and they go a lot higher I think these big banks are going to fail and there's going to be huge losses as a result you're not alone but we should point out to our viewers that this is your opinion on the way that you're looking at the financial sector right now is there a timeline you have is do you see these bank failures happening soon five ten years from now or sooner than that well I think it'll be sooner than that I mean right now we're buying some time based on the problems in Europe because people are so worried about the euro in the eurozone they're taking refuge in the dollar in the Treasury market and that is temporarily keeping our interest rates lower and allowing our government to keep on spending and Americans to keep on borrowing and spending but eventually we're not gonna be able to do that anymore people are going to be worried about all the money we're printing all the inflation we're creating and interest rates I think you're going to move up in a very spectacular way and we are so leveraged we can't handle it not only can't the banks handle it the federal government can't handle it i mean our government can no long more handle a five or seven or ten percent interest rate then can the government in Greece or Italy or Spain Peter we just said I just want point on to our viewers you're trying to get your camera back centered if we can it's always good to have our guests in the middle of the screen and sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't but Peter we're still listening to what you have to say and and there has been calls you know people on the may be sharing a different opinion from you say listen the United States government has to get even more involved in Europe because if we don't get more involved now and jump in in whatever way that means and there's a lack of specifics on that then then that's going to just crush us 612 how can we get involved when we're already broke our government is writing a budget deficit of a trillion almost a trillion a half hours a year we're drowning in debt all we can do is print money semi so we're printing all this money right now to bridge the gap between what we collected taxes what we spend so we're just gonna print even more money so then give it to the Europeans because that gonna help let me just ask you real quick I have to run you know your financial advisor you give a lot of advice out there again it's your opinion but what advice you give to send me your customers and the average person out there and how to protect themselves well I outlined a chapter in my latest book the Americans coming bankruptcy you get out of anything that these central banks are printing particularly dollars I think you buy gold you buy silver you look at some of the emerging economies buy stocks abroad by a bonds from in better currencies and the ones that are being run off the printing presses we have a huge financial crisis coming it's not in our past it's in our future and these downgrades in the definitive banks this is just the beginning it's going to get a lot worse Europe is simply a precursor of what's going to happen in the United States that's the preview the show the main show is going to be playing out here in the United States on this side of Atlantic and people had better be prepared for Peter you give us a lot to think about today that's for sure on a Monday morning thank you again for joining us we love having you look forward to having you back thank you the economy is improving jobs are growing and the worst is over our next guest says sadly you are dead wrong joining us now the author of the real crash Peter Schiff Pete thanks for joining us um what do you mean the worst isn't over we're not turning the corner things aren't getting better hardly we've actually made all the problems worse you know what i wrote my original book crash-proof had a profit from the coming economic collapse in that book I forecast the bursting of the housing bubble the ensuing financial crisis this Great Recession but what I was really concerned about was not that I thought the crash was going to come from what the government would do to try to revive the economy that was the real crash it's still yet to come and it is the subject of this new book so you don't think anything has changed that allow this crash to happen in the fall of two thousand eight know the problems are much worse we're much more deeply indebted now than we were then all the problems have been exacerbated and what we have now is not a legitimate recovery all we've done is borrow additional money and spent it and we're counting the spending is economic growth when it's not the debt is growing much faster than the GDP and ultimately we're going to have to pay this money back with interest and the only thing that's keeping us afloat right now is zero percent interest rates and why are they zero percent well because this is it's counterintuitive that you know we keep telling people you know this that debt clock right there is going to come back and bite us in the rear sometime but it hasn't done it yet there's no inflation well sure there is and it's the inflation that's helping keep interest rates so low because the Fed is monetizing dead it's printing money and buying Treasuries see the biggest problem with the US economy is that interest rates are too low interest rates are probably the most important price in a free market they're involved in one side of every transaction they need to be set by the market instead we're setting interest rates the way the Soviet Union used to set the price of bread and because they're too low we borrowed too much we spend too much we don't save enough we don't produce enough you think we to go bankrupt well we are very well but you you want us to declare bankruptcy so what we need to do we have to let interest rates rise but the problem is when interest rates go up the US government can't afford to pay the interest on the debt let's let interest rates rise well the Fed is keeping them now you but you're saying eliminate the Fed then well no the Fed just has to let interest rates go up the fastest stop by mom they said it they set it right and I set the rate at 0 right now so that's too low let the market set to rate how can the rate be zero say now one hand let the Fed set the rate but then the other hand let the market say it's even one of the other right well the Fed can still be there and not set rates it can let the market do it or the Fed has to move rates higher because rates are much too low nobody can make any money saving nobody's saving so we don't have any legitimate capital of financial investment we have to borrow it all from abroad but when we let interest rates go up the US government can't pay its debts many of our major banks are gonna fail you think that two billion dollar loss at JP Morgan is big where do you see how much JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley and bank of america are gonna lose if the Fed let interest rates go to where they need to go the name of the book is the real crash peter schiff is just getting started the book just came out and he predicted everything that's happened before and i hope you're wrong but you seem very confident that you're right now Peter thanks so much thank you Peter we have Bob Pisani rick santelli is with us euro pacific capital speeders ship is also with us today as his core state's capital advisors bills / opolis welcome all around Bob Pisani the energy levels high in here at the big board today you know we can't even have a nice boring quiet clothes into a three-day weekend we're standing here all of a sudden little after two o'clock word comes out dow jones wire that's Pontius what was getting a lot more money to people anticipated 23 24 billion dollars bottom line is Marcus drop we look several dozen points on that so this is the problem guys we're just hostages to headlines all of the time and anytime you think we're stabilizing it's been a pretty good week the ESPYs up one and a half percent or so you get little head lines and you drop's you a little bit more those stabilization and Peter Schiff this is exactly what the markets have been focusing on for a while now it's all about Europe right now isn't it Peter Schiff oh I'm sorry yeah i was around your name boy you know starting any time on that's not all about you oh I think in some people's minds it is but you know I think Europe is is really foreshadowing a bigger problem here in the United States but no I think there's still some short-term downside risk in the market but i think the central bank's unfortunately are not going to allow a substantial collapse in his stock prices I think they're going to come in with more money printing and ultimately you're going to see a reversal in nominal stock prices will rise but but it's not going to be good economic policy it's not going to be good for the economy that's exactly what we don't need and go yeah let's talk about that though I mean and Peter what is your expectation in terms of how this plays out here a lot of debate on whether or not we'll have a disorderly orderly exit of grease from the Euro or do you expect perhaps the grease stays in the euro you know I don't even know I mean several different ways that could play out long-term I think the worst thing that can happen for the euro zone is for Greece to stay there and the end you to have this moral hazard where everybody is basically subsidizing everybody else's profligacy the only way that it makes sense for Greece to stay in that eurozone is if they can force Greece to to undergo more austerity but I think that if those are the choices the eurozone will be better off if Greece left and I think there's more of a long-term threat for Greece remaining in the euro then leaving I think that that is that is overblown be but I don't know the politics are very strong I mean there's a lot of your sentence for politicians in Europe to do what's wrong in the long run in order to appease the voters in the short run that's exactly what we're doing here I me know your social schedule a shin for politicians to to avoid swallowing the bitter tasting medicine that was necessary to crypto cracker profit sonya hey Bobby trying to say something the people keep picking up a Peter steam people keep talking about the mood on the streets of Athens Peter what about the mood on the streets of Berlin how much longer are the Germans going to be willing to write the checks because no matter what scenario I see here the Germans have got to write a big check yeah bills for a you know an gosh cold desert burning these these Merkel dolls in effigy and restate they should be doing it in Berlin I mean they never should have signed on to this deal to have to pick up the tab for the irresponsible governments in Greece and other parts of Europe they can't do it no more events people in some state in some states if people in Texas don't want to have to pay for the for the deficits in California but who knows that might happen if next week the focus returns to the US rick santelli you've got some Fed speed coming out next week you got the GDP got unemployment numbers ruching edible that well fed speak they're going to be nervous about Europe and hold out the notion of quantitative easing but its a political hot potato so I move that right off it's about to unemployment data points ATP on Thursday instead of wednesday BLS on Friday and our second look of first quarter gdp on Thursday if you were disappointed with 2.2 looks like we're an end up with 1.8 or 1.9 you look at the Chinese stock market you can see the cross trade flows out of Europe or impacting that as well as we cloned demand I'll tell you Maria I just can't be optimistic even if we are the cleanest dirty shirt it's still not that clean well me that as a maid and I don't see where that we earned it at what I think we're dirtier people just haven't figured it out get it was careful to say that the problems that you're hurting us they're actually helping us because people are so worried about Europe they're buying dollars in their bodies over here so yeah let's bring bill in here if I had bill we got you have to look forward and i think that the glue murs and the babble and all the negative stuff has been center stage for a long time we've had just about a one-third correction for off of the October I think the news gets better going forward there's change coming to America there's a lot of bullish things that mandapam be politicians global you're going to get sent home and talked to this Greek okay eight out of ten Greeks don't want to leave the euro because they know the politicians get a free ride in the quality of life gets a whole lot they don't want to leave the euro bill why did they vote the way they did on the last election lot of people both the way they do what you not everybody goes out and vote I mean it is right now the Greeks that the elections in Greece right now are a you know a proxy on whether they want to stay in the euro or not whether they wanted to the bailout money voters want something for nothing that's what all voters want although they're voting for nothing look let's have the 75 percent of the people who were polled blood this week so they would like to stay in the euro that's what the people are saying the problem and everything what you're saying is that yes they would like the idea of saying in the euro sounds good but they don't necessarily want to take the cuts in the austerity to come along with it yeah but the you know the irony started its land they don't have a un zone they get the drachma they're going to have even bigger cuts because the drachma is going to collapse and real wages in Greece are going to fall a lot more if they leave the euro then if they stay there and swallow the austerity I will leave it there thanks everybody we appreciate John tonight and have a nice week a sick note as always Peter nice to have you back with us thanks for having me on let's talk a little bit about the bank's first I know this has been telegraphed that potentially these downgrades could be coming what does it mean for us well first of all I don't think the downgrades will go far enough I think the banks are in a lot worse shape than some of these rating agencies in this country Moody's is
