During this 40+ minute interview, Jason asks Alasdair if he thinks China will announce a gold reserves update about its official public government gold holdings. 

Before Alasdair answers that question, he provides some background. Alasdair thinks the Chinese government/PBOC started accumulating massive tonnage of gold in the early to mid 1990s as it was getting ready to join the WTO. 

Alasdair does think China will update its official gold holdings soon but that China doesn't care very much if its currency gets into the SDR. 

Alasdair thinks China will eventually partially back its currency with gold (fractional gold standard?) and that China plans a separate SDR with other Asian economies. 

Jason and Alasdair also discuss where is the gold coming from, the financial struggles of gold miners, why deflation can't last for a long period of time and why it hasn't ever lasted in modern history for more than a few years and other interesting topics. 

They also discuss if the crack up boom has already started.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on returning guest, editor of The Hat Trick Letter found at Golden Jackass http://www.goldenjackass.com/, Jim Willie for another in depth interview.

2) Why don't Keynesian economists consider asset prices going up a lot as evidence of inflation?
3) China QE coming and China Gold Reserves update- Will China announce a public update to its gold reserves in the next 12 months to join the SDR basket? Does China plan to take apart the IMF from the inside out by joining the SDR while it builds the AIIB?
4) Is there a global currency war or are governments & central banks coordinating things and taking turns with QE to devalue currency and prop up markets?
5)George Soros says WWIII is coming soon between the US and China. Do you agree with him?
6)Hillary Clinton scandals- Why do political elites like her get mostly a free pass from the mainstream media, justice department, etc?

During this 25+ minute interview, Jason asks John about conventional economics (Keynesian) and if it's overly complicated?

John thinks the current economics taught in most universities is far foo complicated and that real economics is much simpler. 

Jason and John talk about the Austrian School of Economics and how many people can easily read the introduction book to Austrian School Economics, Economics in One Lesson, by Henry Hazlitt. 

Jason and John talk about Economics in One Lesson and John says how his goal with his new book, Popular Economics, was to make a more modern version of Economics in One Lesson, with modern stories. 

Jason and John discuss the Amtrak derailment and why does government even own trains in the first place? 

John says lower taxes on small business and less regulations will allow the private sector to create more jobs and allow the economy to fix itself. 

Jason and John also discuss the plight of Millennials, many of whom have 6 figures in student loan debt. 

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on former President of the Mises Institute, former banker and author Doug Frenchhttps://mises.org/profile/doug-french to discuss the Austrian School of Economics perspective/free market analysis on many recent current events including the Baltimore riots, the Amtrak derailment, Hillary Clinton scandals and many other interesting topics. 

Doug thinks big government, central banks and central planning are destroying society and the middle class in the US. 

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St welcomed back returning guest, former Wall St executive, whistle blower and author Nomi Prins http://www.nomiprins.com/

During this 40+ minute interview, Jason starts off by asking Nomi about her new book, All the Presidents' Bankers, and according to her research when did Wall St try to start buying off/controlling US presidents. 

Nomi talks about how she started her book in the late 19th century (1800s) and bankers like JP Morgan started cozying up up to bankers then and they ran in the same social and partying circles. 

Nomi talks about how money and political power enjoy each other's company. 

Jason and Nomi talk about the Creature from Jekyll Island and then about FDR and how FDR secretly met with lots of Wall St bankers according to Nomi's research for her book. 

Next, Jason and Nomi discuss corruption on Wall St and if it has increased since Nomi first began her career on Wall St in the 1980s. Nomi thinks corruption has increased massively because of the opaqueness of derivatives and financial products. 

Jason and Nomi discuss why corruption increased and Jason asks Nomi if the banks don't fear failure because of the Federal Reserve backstopping them.

Jason and Nomi discuss the role central banks like the Federal Reserve play in allowing bankers, hedge fund managers, etc to take enormous risk and not fear being fired, going to jail, etc. 

Next, Jason and Nomi discuss the global economy and why she thinks China is close to announcing a large QE program. Nomi thinks central bankers are coordinating their QE programs to help keep interest rates low and asset prices propped up. She thinks this can continue at least for awhile longer until interest rates go to zero in every major economy. 

Jason asks Nomi about why China, Russia and other G20 countries are creating the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, an alternative SWIFT system and doing enormous currency swaps and bilateral trade agreements. 

Nomi thinks many economic and political elites know the status quo is collapsing. 

To wrap up the interview, Jason and Nomi talk about the sickening amount of corruption in politics and if anything can be done to reduce the corruption.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main st had on returning guest, Mike "Mish" Shedlock http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspo.... Mish is a registered investment advisor representative for Sitka Pacific Capital Management and he has one of the top and most popular websites about the economy and investing online.

During this 40+ minute interview, Jason asks Mish about interest rates and financial repression and if he thinks the Federal Reserve is trapped and can they meaningfully raise interest rates?

Mish says the Fed would probably never admit they are trapped and is probably too stupid to know they are basically trapped.

Jason and Mish discuss financial repression in the US, Japan, etc.

Next, Jason asks Mish about his recent article about the pension plan crisis developing in the US.

Mish and Jason discuss if asset price inflation is intentionally being done to help generate higher returns for pension funds?

After this, Jason asks Mish about asset price inflation, bubbles and where Mish still sees value in markets. Mish likes gold, gold miners, Japanese stocks most.

Jason asks Mish about the oil market and they discuss job losses because of the US shale oil bust is happening now even though oil may have bottomed.

Jason and Mish then talk about inflation, currency wars, deflation and currency pegs.

Mish says Keynesian central bankers will do almost anything to fight deflation and that ultimately this will lead to a global currency crisis in the near future.

To end the interview, Jason asks Mish about the SDR and if CHina wants the World Reserve Currency?

Mish says China doesn't want the burden of the world reserve currency, at least not anytime soon.

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on returning guest, editor of The News Doctorshttp://thenewsdoctors.com/ and former technology executive, Eric Dubin.

During this 50+ minute long discussion, Jason asks Eric about the goals and logic of the US' foreign policy? 

Eric talks about the past strategies of the Roman Empire and the British Empire for divide and conquer and controlled chaos strategies to weaken key areas the US wants to control. 

Jason and Eric talk about how Machievllian US foreign policy is and how the US collects people in power in countries like the Ukraine as puppets. 

Next, Jason asks Eric about Hillary Clinton and her scandals and how the mainstream media is trying to help her become the next president in the 2016 elections. 

Eric says how the propaganda from the mainstream media is at an all time high and how bread ad circuses combined with the propaganda and lies about many things including how well the economy is doing is allowing Wall St and the US government to do whatever it wants because most Americans still don't have a clue about what's really going on or they don't care or they are blind ideologues. 

To wrap up the discussion, Jason and Eric talk about the SDR, the new Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and precious metals. 

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on former Wall St bond trader, gold fund manager and investment analyst, Dave Kranzler of Investment Research Dynamicshttp://investmentresearchdynamics.com/

Dave also has started the new Shadow of Truth Podcast with Rory Hall of The Daily Coin. 

During this 40+ minute discussion, Jason asks Dave if he thinks the Fed is trapped about raising interest rates? Dave thinks the Fed cannot raise rates meaningfully and will most likely eventually have to end up lowering rates further on the yield curve towards zero. 


Jason and Dave discuss financial repression and how the US, UK, EU and Japan are all committed to financial repression with artificially manipulated interest rates. 

Next, Jason asks Dave about the housing market and the real economy. Dave cites how Realty Track, which is normally always bullish real estate, recently said ~35% of American homes still have negative equity because of mortgages. 

Dave and Jason talk about new government schemes to try and force younger adults with their first full time job to try and buy a house to keep the asset bubble going.

Next, Jason asks Dave about Amazon.com and why he thinks their accounting is bad? Dave talks about how Amazon has to have revenue growth at all cost in order to pay off debt and other obligations and expenses. 

To wrap up the interview, Jason and Dave discuss the Gold and silver markets and how much longer miners can survive with lower prices? 

Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St had on returning guest, derivatives expert, precious metals expert, former Canadian broker, investment banker and trader, Rob Kirby of Kirby Analyticshttp://www.kirbyanalytics.com/

During this 40+ minute interview, Jason asks Rob about what's going on in the gold market. Rob says all the physical gold is moving from West to East (China, India, Russia, Middle East, Asia, etc) while the paper price of gold doesn't reflect the supply/demand fundamentals. 

Rob thinks in the near future Western central banks will run out of gold to sell to Asia. Jason and Rob discuss what happens to the gold and silver markets if a lot of gold and silver miners go bust and what that would do to supply. 

Next, Jason asks Rob about why the OTC derivatives market hasn't collapsed yet. Rob points to stealth money printing in many forms including currency swaps, by covert groups like the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF), Bank of International Settlements, etc to keep asset prices in stocks, bonds and real estate propped up and to make banks appear solvent with fake accounting. 

Rob says many trillions in backdoor bailouts has been printed to prevent the ~$800 trillion or so in interest rate swap contracts in the OTC derivatives market from collapsing everything.

Jason and Rob discuss end game for the current global financial system and what the next system may look like. 

Finally, to wrap up the interview, Jason asks Rob if debt and debt based fiat currencies can destroy society and destroy the fabric of society with moral decay.
