In this episode of Keiser Report, Max and Stacy look at Biden letting it rip: inflation, that is. They examine San Francisco, where squalor is luxury and progress is squalor. In the second half, Max continues his conversation with Marshall Auerback, a market analyst and Levy Institute researcher, about the economy in a post-pandemic world of inflation, shortages and money printing.
In this episode of Keiser Report, Max and Stacy look at the economics of rug pulls and what that may look like on a global economy wide scale. In the second half, Max chats to market analyst and Levy Institute researcher Marshall Auerback about inflation, shortages, and money printing.
A version of this essay is published by swarajya.com at https://swarajyamag.com/world/chinas-clampdown-on-national-technology-champions-xis-new-industrial-statism-triumphalist-hubris-and-art-of-ju-jitsu The world has been baffled by China’s sudden clampdown on its very successful, and giant, companies such as e-payments company Ant Financial, ride-hailing firm Didi Chuxing, food-delivery firm Meituan, and several online education firms. Given the opacity of the Chinese communist party, commentators can only imagine what the reasons might be. Writing in Nikkei Asia, Richard McGregor suggested that “Xi’s tech crackdown preserves socialism with Chinese characteristics”. On the website unherd.com, Marshall Auerback suggested that “The West can learn from China”. The Economist’s current cover story is titled, “China’s attack on tech”. There is a plethora of other views on the topic, and it is worth exploring why this happened, and what we might take away, especially from an Indian point of view.It seems to me that there are at least three plausible scenarios, and any of them may be in play, and maybe all three at once:Industrial policy, directing where investment and funding will goTriumphalist hubris, because of how successful China has been latelyA cosmic form of ju-jitsu, using the very strengths of the West against itIndustrial policyIt may well be that China has decided (as in the Made in China 2025 plan) that there are certain technologies that have an outsize impact on the future, and they have decided to focus their attention therein. For example, Quantum Computing, Biotechnology, Materials Science, along with specific applications of AI and Machine Learning (a recent report suggests that China has overtaken the US in the citations of their papers in AI).Such a direction would not be particularly surprising. A much-cited article by C K Prahalad (“The Core Competence of the Corporation”, Harvard Business Review, 1990) made a comparison between GTE and NEC, and concluded that the latter handily defeated the former by concentrating on the crucial technology of the then-future, semiconductors. Others, for instance Scott Adams (cartoonists often have surprisingly sage perspectives), have suggested that China’s management model is engineering-driven and is thus focused, ruthless and unaffected by the legal hair-splitting that bedevils many other countries, including India. Thus, industrial policy could well be a sensible way of dealing with the uncertainties of the future. Japan’s MITI tried to guide industry in the 1980s and 1990s with mixed results, but China’s mandarins may well believe they have a better handle on reading the tea leaves. There is the other side of the picture, which is quite relevant to India as well. What is considered the ‘tech industry’ in the US these days consists of a number of behemoths in what is loosely referred to as Silicon Valley, although several of them, such as Microsoft and Amazon are actually in Seattle. The usual suspects include, apart from the above, Google parent Alphabet, Facebook and Apple. In a sense, the Chinese are asking a very good question: what exactly is high-tech about these companies? It is true that they are extremely successful financially, in fact spewing out oodles of cash, and some are valued in trillions of dollars, but exactly what is their innovation? Take Apple, for instance. Yes, it is true that the iPhone, which debuted a decade ago, was revolutionary, but what have they designed lately? Not to be dismissive, but Facebook and Google do ‘surveillance capitalism’, basically selling their users to advertisers. Amazon and Microsoft are soaring on the basis of their cloud-computing infrastructure. But one could argue that they are merely milking their innovations of a decade ago, and don’t have much of a recent product line that creates a ‘moat’ for them, or in MBA-speak, a ‘blue ocean’. The same question can be asked of India’s lionized unicorns, of which here is a partial list as per the Economic Times a few days ago. Exactly what earth-shaking and life-changing innovations do they bring to the table? Yes, if they have managed to build big, loyal customer bases, sure, that can be of value. But just copying and indigenizing business models successful elsewhere is not exactly setting the stage for world-beating companies.To put it bluntly, the Chinese may be calculating that Silicon Valley’s best brains are now engaged in minutely tweaking algorithms to capture the attention span of customers, and are not thinking of solving the world’s problems. For instance, Silicon Valley engineers have been notably less than successful in addressing climate change or even the Wuhanvirus/Covid-19 pandemic. The Chinese may have a point, and India’s policy makers should take note. There has long been disquiet about India’s very successful IT services companies based on the fact that they have, nevertheless, left little by way of a technology legacy the way early Silicon Valley pioneers such as Hewlett Packard and Fairchild Semiconductor did. Triumphalist hubrisChina has good reason to believe they have won. They have, for all practical purposes, created a new world order dominated by them. Just think of what they have done lately in terms of riding roughshod over the world. Nobody would dare to demand reparations from them for what could be construed as the crime against humanity of 4 million dead from the virus that arose in their country (and could well be something they designed in a lab). Similarly, they have captured the South China Sea, used their debt-trap diplomacy to extort their way to strategic assets, and cavalierly sent up rockets that might fall on anybody’s head. One could also make a cogent argument that they were able to harness their media and social media assets to defenestrate an American president they didn’t like. Not to mention the pandemic narrative that, for long, completely exonerated them from any blame. I wouldn’t blame them for quietly celebrating a little, or for believing they have cracked the puzzle of how to, if not make friends, at least influence people and get them to do anything they want. In this context, they have also infiltrated institution after institution, insinuated their cadres into positions where they could capture data or inventions from others, often illegally.Maybe they believe that they know so much about us that they, in effect, have incriminating evidence on us that they can use to intimidate us into doing their bidding. One example is the big super-apps from China: Tencent and Ant Financial, which have evolved into efficient ways of vacuuming up data from and about consumers. Unlike the American model of stand-alone apps that know a great deal about individuals, the super-apps offer a walled garden that has everything from payment to mutual funds to loans to travel agencies. These apps know so much about Chinese people that the government, using it, is able to create the infamous social credit score for all residents. There have been overseas ventures as well. It is rumored that Chinese-branded smartphones and surveillance cameras may well be capturing and transmitting data to their servers back home. There is also the story of the African Union, whose building was constructed by China. It is said that every day at 5pm, all the confidential conversations in the building were transmitted back to China.There is also the sinister story of the Chinese gene company BGI group. According to a Reuter’s story (“China’s gene giant harvests data from millions of pregnant women”) their prenatal tests were “developed in collaboration with the country’s military” and they are using them to “collect data from millions of women for sweeping research on the traits of populations”. Perfect information, one could imagine, for well-targeted biological weapons.It may well be that the Chinese have decided they know enough from snooping; they don’t really need the super-apps any more, and so they are cut loose. In their triumphalist fantasies, there is nothing that prevents them from reclaiming their (mythical) ‘Middle Kingdom’ status, the center of the Universe.The art of ju-jitsuThe very strengths of the West are being deployed against it by the Chinese, who also believe that their model of “capitalism with Chinese characteristics” ie. the private sector is ultimately subservient to the State, is the right model for the rest of the world, rather than the buccaneer capitalism exemplified by the US. That anyway is CCP dogma, and it appears that they are proving it too.Consider the (erstwhile strengths of the West, especially the US, that China has usurped:Manufacturing: hollowed out, and China owns the supply chain nowInnovation and R&D: now confined to tweaking social media applications. China also sends it bright students to learn at the best US universities and then bring the knowledge back home with themEducation: while ‘woke’ dogma and the cancel culture are dumbing-down US students, China is deprecating its own online education companies because it doesn’t want rote learning and exam hell, but problem-solving skills and creativity/innovation in its children and college students. Finance: Wall Street has been able to crush competitors in the past (for instance, they did something to Japan, I am not sure exactly what, to bring its meteoric rise to a halt), but now they are hand in glove with China. The Wall Street Journal wrote a year ago that “China has one powerful friend left in the US: Wall Street”Marketing: the narrative building that China does is world-class, and it has bought its way into media (for instance, it is alleged by nationalinterest.com that the WSJ got $6 million and the Washington Post $4.6 million from China). The obvious biases in social media and in mainstream media (apparently including science and medicine journals The Lancet and Nature) support this perspectiveCapitalism: Investors have made much money in the tech runup in the US, but they also lost a lot when China decided to make a policy change. According to the WSJ, “Investors lost hundreds of billions in July”, which means that the very ideas of capitalism are being deprecated in plain sight by China.A case can be made that it is not any longer a single point attack by China, but “unrestricted warfare” as in the infamous book by two Chinese colonels. They are single-mindedly on the warpath, and they intend to do anything, I mean anything, to win. The skirmish over the technology companies should be seen in that light. From an Indian point of view, it would be foolish to surmise that China has actually won: the much better lesson would be to take the good part of their industrial policy and to figure out how India can leverage the exodus of investors and funds from Chinese firms to create long-term competitive advantage. 1600 words, 13 Aug 2021 This is a public episode.

In this first episode of Keiser Report's Summer Solutions 2021 series, Max and Stacy chat to Marshall Auerback, an economic analyst, about the trillions of newly printed dollars and the chances it could lead to hyperinflation as no new goods and services are being created. They also examine the hyperpartisanship of the elite media class who focus on condemning and marginalizing the tens of millions of ‘deplorables' rather than trying to bridge the opportunity and wealth divide.

The Trump administration is upping the ante in its confrontation with China in the waterways of the South China Sea."Since late January, American B-1B and B-52 bombers, usually operating in pairs, have flown about 20 missions over key waterways, including the South China Sea, the East China Sea and the Sea of Japan," Reuters reported Tuesday. What is the endgame here?On Monday, US President Donald Trump defended Kyle Rittenhouse, the suspect in the shootings last week in Kenosha, Wisconsin, as having acted in self-defense. The president said, "We're looking at all of it. That was an interesting situation. You saw the same tape as I saw," adding that it appeared Rittenhouse was "very violently attacked" by demonstrators. There seem to be a number of problems with this statement. How should we interpret this?Stella Moris, WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange's partner, "says he is in 'a lot of pain' and 'a lot thinner' after she visited him in Belmarsh prison with their two children for the first time in six months," the Daily Mail reported on August 25. What's going on in his world?There's a health crisis and civil unrest in the US, and 57.3 million workers have filed for unemployment over the past five months, according to US Labor Department numbers. Meanwhile, Congress sits out, failing to provide more relief while the country faces its largest-ever eviction crisis, activists say. What are we to make of this?"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel has held secret talks with several Arab countries to normalize their relations, a day before Israel's first commercial flight to the United Arab Emirates (UAE)," Xinhua News Agency reported Monday. "'There are many more unpublicized meetings with Arab and Muslim leaders,' Netanyahu said during joint remarks in Jerusalem alongside US President Donald Trump's senior advisor Jared Kushner and national security advisor Robert O'Brien." What's the long-term objective of these meetings and agreements?Our next guest Marshall Auerback co-authored a Monday piece in CounterPunch entitled "The Rotten Alliance of Liberals and Neocons Will Likely Shape US Foreign Policy for Years to Come." What does this mean for the US and the world going forward?A Monday op-ed in Politico was entitled "Take It From Eastern Europe: Now Is Not the Time to Go Soft on Russia," with the subheadline saying, "Vladimir Putin continues to undermine liberal democracy in Europe and beyond. America should not turn its back on that threat."Our last story will be a discussion of the Tuesday Antiwar.com article "America's Expeditionary Kleptocracy: A Banana Republic and Its Banana Wars." We are joined by its author, retired US Army Major Danny Sjursen.

On today's episode of Fault Lines with hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan, they discussed the news of the day and topics ranging from the Democrats virtual convention to the prospects of Middle East peace to the situation in Belarus. GUESTSScott Ritter - Former U.N. Weapons Inspector & WMD Whistleblower | Deal of the Century?Marshall Auerback - Market Analyst, writer for the Independent Media Institute | The UAE / Israel Deal and the US EconomyMichael Maloof - RT National Security Analyst, former senior security policy analyst in the Office of the Secretary of Defense | Belarus and BeyondIn his first hour monologue, Jamarl discussed last night's speeches at the Democratic National Convention promoting Biden which he found underwhelming.Then the hosts were joined by Scott Ritter, and they discussed the recent peace deal brokered by Jared Kushner between the United Arab Emirates and Israel, which the Trump administration refers to as the Deal of the Century. Ritter said that each result in lasting peace would require the Palestinians to be part of the peace process of Israel to embrace a two state solution, but he believes this is highly unlikely because Israel has accepted conflict in the region as a reality. He also said that Turkey and Iran would be ready to fill the gap in if states like UAE are not involved, and then in that sense the deal is significant. He also sees a deemphasizing of the importance of the role of Saudi Arabia as smaller Gulf states like UAE become more significant.In the second hour they talked to Marshall Auerback, who agreed with Scott Ritter's view that the UAE-Israel peace deal is very significant for the region, although it has left the Palestinians out. He pointed out that it is more than political cosmetics and that the UAE stands to benefit from its new relationship with Israel, with things like access to tech investment defense against Iran. Marshall also noted the political benefits for Donald Trump and Jared Kushner. Then they discussed terms of the economy, and Marshall said that the pandemic and related economic problems have clearly exposed structural problems in the economy, including the healthcare system in the United States. He said he didn't believe politicians were handling it properly and is concerned that it's one factor that could lead to a real revolution in the United States.In the third hour, the hosts were joined by defense expert Michael Maloof and began by discussing the situation in Belarus, which Maloof said seems like is developing in a very similar way to the Ukrainian situation a few years ago that led to the ouster of that country's leader. Lukashenko's increasing pressure from the United States is possibly playing out the same way, although Maloof said there is some possibility in Belarus it might not end the same, and he said he has also seen no solid evidence that the election was rigged. Looking at other areas of world politics, Maloof said the United States is worried about the involvement of countries like China in the Caribbean and South America. He also said he believes that if Donald Trump is elected, he will work towards better relations with Russia while he sees no possibility that Biden will be open to that.
On today's episode of Fault Lines, hosts Shane Stranahan and Jamarl Thomas discussed the news of the day, including the Beirut explosion and primary election results from several states. They also talked about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, from the economic impact to possible treatments. GUESTSDr. Mikhail Kogan - Medical Director at the George Washington Center for Integrative Medicine | COVID-19 Treatment UpdateMarshall Auerback - Market Analyst and Writer for the Independent Media Institute | Why Congress Can't Fix Covid-19 EconomyCynthia McKinney - Former Member of Congress | Is The Pandemic a Deep State Creation?In Jamarl's first hour monologue, he railed against recent comments that implied the Democrats would do regime change better than the Republicans but not oppose it at all.They were next joined by Dr. Mikhail Kogan, who discussed the difficulties with children returning to school, including dealing with the discipline issues of getting a large number of kids to go along with wearing masks and social distancing.  They also discussed the possibility of a vaccine being developed by 2021 and the complexities of the COVID-19 virus that make both treating it and tracking it difficult. The doctor suggested that people's diet is about 50% of the problem and that periodic fasting may be a good way to stay healthy, because of the COVID-19's connection to inflammation. In the second hour, Shane and Jamarl were joined by Marshall Auerback, who talked about the stalled stimulus bill that the House and Senate seem to be at an impasse on. He discussed why, even in the face of the current emergency, Congress seems unable to move forward with a bill that would have a wide range and suggested that systemic corruption is a part of it. He also discussed how corruption itself creates a self-sustaining mechanism where people have less respect for the rule of law, which creates a self-sustaining machine that makes it more difficult to get rid of corruption.In the third hour, the hosts were joined by Cynthia McKinney, who discussed the controversial theory that the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic may be manufactured as a form of biological warfare, specifically against people of color. Cynthia talked about the Peter Dale Scott template for looking at manufactured events versus organic ones, and she sees a number of examples both actually and historically, including the South African development of an anti-black biological warfare weapon in the role of the eugenics movement to create super humans. She's also suspicious of events like the shutting down of the chemical weapons base at Fort Detrick, Maryland, recently for supposed leaks. She also mentioned the problem of the US having biological labs around the world and said taxpayers have the right to know what the United States government is doing.
On today's episode of Fault Lines, hosts Shane Stranahan and Jamarl talked about a variety of subjects focusing on the impact of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, from the economic impact to its role in the current European Union summit to education, as well as discussing foreign policy and news of the day.GUESTSStephen Lendman - Author and Geopolitical Analyst | Spiraling SanctionsAndrew Spannaus - American Journalist and Writer in Italy | The EU Summit Marshall Auerback - Market Analyst and Writer for the Independent Media Institute | Economic Contractions and the COVID-19 EconomyWilliam Ayers - Author and Former Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) | Education After CoronavirusIn his first hour monologue, Jamarl called out Democrats for not taking Republicans to task and supporting an "imperial presidency" when it suits them.Then Shane and Jamarl were joined by guest Steven Lendman, who discussed the role of sanctions in current US foreign policy. Lendman sited the the cases of sanctions against both China and Iran as examples described the cascading effect on foreign relations that the sanctions have and how they are part of a attempt to maintain America's global hegemony.In the second hour, Jamarl and Shane were joined by Andrew Spannaus and talked about the European Union summit, and how is it has been stalled by the Dutch Prime Minister in a row with Hungry's leader as it is dealing with important issues that Europe faces as the COVID-19 crisis continues. They also talked about how the issue of who controls European Union's currency is an underlying conflict.Then the hosts were joined by Marshall Auerback, who discussed the growing economic contractions around the world due to the COVID-19 virus and how the Trump administration is handling it. There was also discussion of the Austrian economic model of simply letting systems fail on their own, which Auerback rejected as dangerous in a time of great economic change where greater training of workers is required.In the third hour, Shane and Jamarl welcomed William Ayers, who talked about the hypocrisy and contradictions when leading educational experts--including President Obama's former education secretary and people like Bill Gates-- advocate for an education system that they would not send their own children too. They also discussed the democratic ideals of public education, including what Ayers said is recognizing the "incalculable value" of every child.
On today's episode of Fault Lines, hosts Jamarl Thomas and Shane Stranahan talked about a range of subjects, including the new revelations in the lawsuit brought against Christopher Steele, education, how the US economy will fare in a post-COVID-19 world, and the upcoming election.Guests:Ted Rall - Political Cartoonist & Syndicated Columnist | Sanders and the Trump Task ForceAlexander Mercouris - Editor-in-Chief at TheDuran.com | Steele Dossier RulingMarshall Auerback - Market Analyst and Writer for the Independent Media Institute | Offshoring and the Covid-19 EconomyKim Iversen - Independent Journalist and Host of the Kim Iversen Show on YouTube | COVID-19 Lethality and Asymptomatic SpreadIn the first hour, Jamarl's monologue touched on COVID-19, education, and media spin.Then Jamarl and Shane were joined by Ted Rell, who said that he has concerns that the Trump task force is an attempt by Senators including Bernie Sanders to "sheepdog" progressive Democrats into voting for Joe Biden in the 2020 election. Ted said he agrees with many of Sanders' policies but that he sees this as a valid concern for progressives. They also discussed the possibility the economic collapse could cause the federal government to go bust.In the second hour, the hosts spoke with Alexander Mercouris, who found several points in the UK High Court's ruling against ex-British spy Christoher Steele worthy of note, including the fact that Steele admitted to details concerning Vladimir Putin's dealings with Alfa Bank and that Steele admitted that he was aware he was working for the Democratic Party and specifically people connected to Hillary Clinton.In the second hour, Marshall Auerback joined Jamarl and Shane to discuss how the US corporate practice of "offshoring" has led to a number of displacements in the United States economy. Citing Boeing as an example, Auerback pointed out the international consequences of the United States' trade policy and discussed with the hosts how this impacts the United States R&D capacity. Auerback also discussed why he thinks President Trump should propose locally-based public works programs.In the third hour, the hosts talked to Kim Iversen about why she thinks it's vital for children to go back to school. Kim also discussed her addiction to Twitter, why she's left the platform, and the lack of media fact checking in the "Russian Bounties" story.

Economics is called the dismal science for a reason. It is often imprecise and almost always open to seeing what you want to see. [Read: politics!] In many ways, economics remains an art. However, the economic situation that besets us all now is much more than about art and politics – it’s about how we live for the foreseeable future. Are we witnessing a recovery? If so, what kind of recovery? CrossTalking with Danielle DiMartino Booth & Marshall Auerback.
On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Garland Nixon & Lee Stranahan talked with guests about the understudied upsides of taking psychedelics, the truth about this week's job numbers and what we should expect next from the markets, and to scrutinize America's questionable foreign policy stratagems.Guests:Adam Eidinger - Activist and organizer in the fight to legalize cannabis | Decriminalization vs Legalization & Mushroom AdvocacyMarshall Auerback - Market analyst and writer for the Independent Media Institute | A Closer Look At The Jobs Numbers & The MarketMichael Maloof - RT national security analyst and former senior security policy analyst in the Office of the Secretary of Defense | US Foreign Policy, Sanctions Under COVID, & Iran/VenezuelaIn our first hour we were joined by Adam Eidinger to talk about the fight for marijuana decriminalization and legalization, why some activists are satisfied with just decriminalization, and to give us his knowledge and personal experience of the restorative powers of some natural psychotropics.In our second hour we spoke with Marshall Auerback about what the recent optimistic job numbers report got wrong, why he's more pessimistic about the course of the American economy, and what we can expect to see as the coronavirus crisis slowly grows.In our third hour we were joined by Michael Maloof to look at American foreign policy, the global signals of a shift out of an era marked by American preeminence and into a new more distributed world order, and to talk about Iran and Venezuela's budding relationship as key opponents of America's economic and military hegemony.
On this episode of Fault Lines, hosts Garland Nixon & Lee Stranahan talked with guests about the United States' foreign policy towards China, reviewed responses to COVID from around the world, and looked at the downstream effects from Trump's Executive Order on Social Media.Peter Lavelle - Host of CrossTalk on RT, American journalist | Russiagate & US Foreign Policy Towards ChinaMarshall Auerback - Market Analyst and Writer for the Independent Media Institute | Who Got Pandemic Solutions Right? And What to Expect From the Post-Lockdown EconomyDaniel McAdams - Executive Director of the 'Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity' | Twitter's Trump Fact Check & The Executive OrderDanny Haiphong - Contributor to the Black Agenda Report and Co-Author of 'American Exceptionalism and American Innocence: A People's History of Fake News' | The Hong Kong/China SituationIn our first hour we spoke with Peter Lavelle about the legacy of the failed Russiagate collusion hoax in American politics and America's foreign policy disposition towards China.In our second hour we were joined for the first time by Marshall Auerback to review the efficacy of different countries' approaches to ameliorating the pandemic, and looked at where the global economy is headed and what we should expect.In our third hour we spoke with Daniel McAdams about Trump's executive order on social media, what caused it and what it contains, and what it might spell for social media tech giant's notorious roles as editorial agents for public opinion. After we were joined by Danny Haiphong to talk about Hong Kong and China, how COVID has affected the protests, and what recent events reveal about the relationship between the United States and China.
In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss Jay Jay Powell guaranteeing GOOD TIMES for the markets! Everything is dyn-o-mite when the Fed has got your back with free money. In the second half, Max talks to Marshall Auerback about the new elite consensus that MMT and UBI are awesome as money-printing cranks up.
In this episode, Front Running takes a look at the policies for criminal justice reform. The US incarcerates more of its population than any other developed nation, and the new generation of voters have had enough of it. For this episode of Front Running, Max and Stacy are joined by guests Sinclair Skinner, a bitcoin entrepreneur and former mechanical engineer, and Marshall Auerback, a market analyst and Levy Institute researcher. As the boomer generation dies off and the Millennials take their place as the largest voting block, attitudes toward mass incarceration are also changing. The massive increase in locking up the population coincided not only with the Civil Rights era, but also with the emergence of the boomers as the largest voting block back in the late 60s and early 70s. The explosion of the prison population also happened along with an all fiat currency world where such decadence seemed possible. Can the millennial generation, which is weighed down by household debts, even afford such vengeful policies even if they wanted to? They look at one of the more radical platforms which was that of candidate Julian Castro, who may have exited the race early, but has left behind the very interesting ‘First Chance Plan,’ a direct attack on the Joe Biden backed 1994 Crime Bill. They also examine the role of Black Lives Matter in bringing criminal justice reform to the forefront of a multitude of election platforms. Tune in to hear what Front Running has to say about ending mass incarceration as a political idea whose time has come.

As the Blue Jays continue their road trip against quality teams like the Phillies and Red Sox, it's becoming abundantly clear that something's got to give when it comes to preserving the fleeting sanity of their concerned fanbase. Specifically, how close the team is to making a decision regarding their mercurial prospect (Vlad Guerrero Jr.) and their equally mercurial disappointments (Kendrys Morales, Randal Grichuk, Marcus Stroman) through the early stages of the season.Joining me to explore all possibilities are true baseball soothsayers and raconteurs; first, Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith (@bnicholsonsmith) drops in and offers a closer look at the differences between the 2017 and 2018 teams, how much of this recent stretch can be attributed to sheer bad luck, what John Gibbons has to do to motivate his slumping players, if the Blue Jays can compete with teams like the LA Angels and Seattle Mariners, and how quickly he'd bring up Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to join this year's struggling edition of the team.Next, I'm joined by three writers and bloggers whose expertise on the game of baseball needs to be heard in order to be enjoyed; Marshall Auerback (@mauerback) from the Levy Institute (@LevyEcon), Diamyn Hall (@DiamynHall) from Wright State Baseball (@WSUbaseball), and Ian Hunter (@BlueJaysHunter) from The Sporting News MLB (@sn_mlb). Together, we discuss: if fans should be panicking at this stage in the season, their candid thoughts on the struggles of Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez, musings on contending and rebuilding aka being half-in and half-out, and how to manage expectations when it comes to the elevation of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to the big leagues.

The Toronto Blue Jays began their transitional 2018 season by demonstrating the kind of resolve normally associated with playoff contenders; aggressive base-running, timely pitching, and precisely the kind of joie de vivre that was missing in its entirety last year. Four wins and three losses to begin a difficult campaign that will undoubtedly test the resolve of players, management and fans alike.Laura Armstrong (@lauraarmy; beat writer and sports journalist with The Toronto Star) offers her insightful thoughts on what could happen if the Jays end up struggling in April and why Teoscar Hernandez is buried in the minors while Morales sits on the bench. We also discuss if Vlad Guerrero's heroic spring training moment might end up hindering rather than helping the franchise. We also touch on the Maple Leafs and Raptors as having both a positive and negative influence on the future of baseball in this city.Marshall Auerback (@mauerback; market researcher with The Levy Institute) drops by to offer his thoughts on 2018 as a potential "write-off" year and his inquisitive perspective on scalpers and how the team is collaborating with the grim reality of greedy ticket monetization. He also offered us his candid thoughts on Roy Halladay's number retirement and how it was handled.Jason Woodell (@JasonAtTheGame; writer with Baseball Prospectus) visits the show to offer his take on what a dead arm really is in the sport of baseball and how it will affect Josh Donaldson moving forward. Chris Henderson (@Baseball4Brains, Site expert at Jays Journal) rounds out the show with his authoritative look at long-term contract commitments and if an aura of secrecy exists between the player and management when it comes to disclosing injuries.
Weekly Toronto Raptors Review/Preview The Raptors have seemingly hit a lull in their amazing season, yet still find themselves at the top of the Eastern Conference. With a decent lead over the Boston Celtics and a more than decent lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers, there's really no reason for fans to hit the panic button. However, we'd be fooling ourselves if we didn't at least address the woes that the team is experiencing, but will more than likely overcome. We're going to do that on this episode. Join host Adam Corsair and special guest Marshall Auerback as they discuss all the recent issues and highlights surrounding the Raptors. Marshall and Adam talk about the perception from the American media as a result of the devastating losses at the hands of the Thunder and Cavs, who we'd ideally like to face in the first round of the playoffs, which player needs to have a solid end to the regular season to carry into the playoffs, predicting the games this week, and so much more!

Marshall Auerback will help us identify the current bubble under construction by Bernanke's Fed and hopefully, not only help know how to profit from it but how to avoid shedding all our gains when it inevitably implodes. Where are interest rates headed in the U.S. given our huge borrowing needs and what impact will rates have on stocks, commodities and precious metals? Marshall provides a more “liberal” perspective than many of our guests but as a brilliant and independent thinker his ideas are always well worth pondering. Partners Roger Wiegand and “investor extraordinaire” Chen Lin will be joining me for some discussion on China and its prospects and to add some money making ideas of their own. We will also talk to CEOs of Sphere Resources, Gold Bullion Development Corp., and North Atlantic Resources.
