Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews 3/14/2023 – Bank Failures Back on the Menu

Episode Date: March 15, 2023

Tonight we discuss the collapse of one of America’s largest banks, SVB. Fox News wonders: was woke-ism to blame?! The answer, weirdly, is “not even a little bit”, but what was the cause? And is it a harbinger of things to come? We’ll get into all that, plus a discussion of more humorous (if upsetting) hypocrisy out of, where else, Tennessee. Join us. Support the show

Hey, everybody, welcome back. Happy Skews Day to you. It's March 14th, 2023, another rainy day in Los Angeles. I'm Trey Crowder. That's Mark Aegee. What's up, Mark? What's up, Trey? Got a fun show.

We're talking about bank runs today. It's 1929 again there. Our Gilded Age speed run continues apace. Yeah, I do. Stop feeling a little 2080 or whatever, and I'm definitely wanting to get into you with you later, like how realistic or probable that is, but whatever,

we'll talk about that later on. Wait, you should stock up on gold beans and ammunition? Yeah, right. No, I don't think they're there yet. So a couple things where we get to the show. Some more fun coming out of the lawsuits against Fox News over their voting lies.

I want to Tucker Carlson's producers called their audience dumb cousin fucking terrorists yeah yeah tell me to lie you know like finally an honest Fox News producer look don't throw cousin fuckers in there all right

not all of our people terrorists right but it's like it's like man not the good kind like the Saudi royal family or something that was my favorite my favorite part about it was they're talking about like oh I don't know if we

should cover this, but we probably should because our viewers really into it or whatever. And then in talking about that, the producers, like, I swear it's like negotiating with terrorists but the bad kind, like the cousin fucking kind, not the Saudi royalty kind, which I thought was an extra layer

of humor to it. It's like, you know, like the Saudis, obviously, they're like rich terrorists, great, obviously. Everybody knows that. But like, these poor shoeless terrorists are gross. Like, but that's who. But hey, they're who keeps the lights on.

So I guess we've got to keep pandering to them. It's just, it's some refreshing self-aware. And it's like, dude, like, if you're one of these people, like, I don't know how, like, how do you sleep at night? Do you know what I mean? Like, because they are very aware of, like, exactly what they're doing. And it's like, it's a hell of a grift. It makes a whole lot of money.

But like, God damn, like the true believers are easier for me to understand, I guess, than people like this because it's like, you can't get no other job or anything. Like, do you not hate yourself? It's wild. Yeah, it's like the bad, the bad kind of terrorist,

unlike the side, unlike the kind that cuts, you know, women's heads off for tweeting about feminism. Right. But again, though, a lot of money,

Mark, you know. Yeah. And money, they got those pristine robes, real fancy cars, lions, they put the lions in the cars.

You know, it's, they got a lot of fun. stuff going on over there, along with all the headings and misogyny and everything. Episode of the Simpsons where the film critic characters, like, asked the Arnold McBain, the Arnold Schwarzenegger stand in, how do you sleep at night? And he goes on top of a big pile of money with many beautiful women. Yeah, right.

It's kind of a, yeah. So some fun stuff happening in state of legislatures. Today, Oklahoma narrowly defeated, the Oklahoma's legislature, narrowly defeated a bill that would have banned corporal punishment for special needs, children. So, you can see. So, all right. So there's some negatives going on there. So they kept it legal to beat special needs children as needed.

They act up. You get the paddle out. They're still paddling in Oklahoma and even in special ed. God damn, I don't even think in Salina, the special ed teacher had a paddle. Most of the teachers had paddles. I don't know if yours did. They had the paddles on the wall. They'd, like, drill holes in the paddle, give it names and shit, wrap duct tape around

the fucking handle up. it and like they didn't use it as much but you know it was just like an ever-present threat but you know I feel like the special ed room was was relatively free of corporal punishment but not in Oklahoma I guess I don't imagine that many teachers will avail themselves of this opportunity my mom was a special needs teacher and I could never see her laying a hand on a kid right but I would like to whatever teacher was lobbying against this bill please don't teach anymore yeah well that's what I was going to say

I wonder that with a lot of these bills oftentimes it's like I don't understand the argument in opposition to it is it just is it like big government shit it's like we don't need a useless law like this we got better things to spend our time on is that how they try to frame it because like what is the argument instead

is it literally just like well hey you know they get out of hand what are you going to do they're fucking strong you know you got to be able to do something Like what are they like what are they doing the guy one of the guys who was arguing against the bill legislated he quoted the Bible verse one of those spare the rod verses and then asked the guy who's an expert who was for the bill the guy who's against beating special needs and he said well the guy what's the argument for being able to beat regular kids but not special needs kids and they have well they're they're special needs yeah And then he goes, well, I understand in some instances, they might not understand that constantly like he, he like made the other guy's case for him, but in question format. Anyway, he's still legal to be.

Anyway, also today, Minnesota is about to pass a law giving kids free breakfast and lunch. And this dipshit Republican said he'd never met anyone in Minnesota who was hungry. And I don't, I don't actually disbelieve that a Republican state legislature has never met a poor person. Yeah. Yeah. Make a distinction. Being hungry.

Also. Yeah. No, never mind. I was going to say, you know, they're like, they're a fatter state, right? But I'm thinking of their neighbors, Wisconsin, some of us, apparently, like, you know, for me to, you know, the South, hey, we the fattest around. Everybody knows it. But the Midwest can hang with us, okay? I give them their due credit when it comes to fatness.

But I feel like Minnesota is one of the, the, the, the lesser of the fat states in that region. But I don't know. On the other hand, you know what a hot dish is? Minnesota hot dish. Teter-tot casserole. Oh,

yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And Wisconsin cheese curds hit, man. It's like a... Fuck, yeah,

they hit. Literally, first trip I ever took to Wisconsin, sat down and up, but we got into town in Madison, sat down at a bar to, to like, eat lunch,

and this lady came up and gave us, like, three bags of cheese curds. And I was like, you do this to everybody? Was this just like, you know what I mean? This is the official welcome to Wisconsin.

welcome to Wisconsin fatten up but yeah I love cheese curds and Wisconsin drunk too they're also very drunk I was just joke when I was up to people make fun of Wisconsin for being all fat and drunk but you go to Wisconsin in fucking February and step out of the airport

and you're like holy shit I wish I was fat and drunk right now this makes a lot more sense if you actually go there yeah I was in Wisconsin's working was it Skyline comedy club in Appleton yeah that's where I was at when I that's where that happened with yeah And I remember, I remember cheese curts being like a dollar and I try to get broccoli at a grocery store was like $9 or $0.50.

It's winter in Wisconsin. Yeah. Also, another one of our laboratories, democracy, going back to our child labor thing, we've talked about it for a few episodes lately. It's Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who's now the governor of Arkansas, just signed a bill making it easier to employ children. What it does is a, all right, so theory, it legalizes kids getting jobs when they're 14 and 15 years old, right? but not younger. But the bill also removes a requirement for people who employ children under 16 to actually check their age. So if no one's checking, how is it illegal?

And so, yeah, these people fucking hate kids. They want to be able to beat them, starve them, and slay them. I guarantee you they got like Little League organizations in Arkansas that like take the verification of children's ages more seriously than the, you know, Arkansas. infrastructure now, which is funny. I never played baseball as a kid because of the scandals coming out of, you know, those kids from other countries, you know, having full beards and playing the Little League World Series. Yeah, right. Smoking everybody. Because I went to a school in a different county than I lived in, so I couldn't play Little League sports.

Like, I'm not even good at sports, but they were so worried about me being some ringer that I couldn't play Little League in my friends. So, yeah, yeah, they do take it more seriously. it's funny to me to picture you like you as little league age because i just picture like you but like you know child size which is funny like i picture mark just looking like mark then and then they're like well that guy we can't let that guy in dude i was bored 50 yeah right i mean i literally started going ball when i was 13 years old so it's like yeah yeah damn dude you got even corey beat cori ryan forester senior georgia correspondent he started going balled at 19, I think.

That's all that raging testosterone you got. I don't know about him, but you. That's what it is, clearly. Yeah. All that, uh, all that man's you coursing through your brain. Fucking just gave you the ultimate man head as early as possible, you know? Mm-hmm. Yep.

For their part, Fox News Wonders is wokeism to blame? The answer will not surprise you because it's no, of course not that stupid. But one does wonder, what is the cause and is this

a harbinger of things to come? Is 2008 back on the menu? We'll talk about all that a little later, but first we begin, of course, with the Daily Dumbass. Matt, graphic, please. tonight's dd anyone who would be opposed to the tennessee lieutenant governor's brand new give head for weed initiative if you haven't seen this i hope you enjoy it this is a tennessee lieutenant governor randy mcnally from mild stomping grounds about a great nelly described how he befriended the young man first on facebook then on instagram among the posts this close-up of the young man's backside magnally responded with three red hearts and three own-five emojis, along with

a comment, Finn, you can turn a rainy day into rainbows and sunshine. It's just that, you know, I encourage people with posts and try to you know help them if I can.

Were you trying to help this young man in some sort of way? Just basically trying to I encourage him. There was also this post where the man said he was, quote, not a whore, but a hoar. One is a slut. The other is a prostitute, adding, I'm the one that gets free weed for giving, then a reference to a sexual act. And it was liked by Lieutenant Governor McNally.

Yeah. You know, a lot of times on people's post, you see the name and you see what they've written, and you just press the button that says like. So you didn't read that post? I don't recall reading the part about the weed. I know that. What about the prostitute? I might have read that. That's kind of it.

Yeah, I like that. Yeah, that part was cool. The whole weed thing, though. Oh, my God. There's like a lot going on here. This is actually, there's like a couple of really fascinating elements. Like, we can argue about it, but I don't think he's gay, right? I kind of agree with you.

When I first saw it, I definitely thought that. And, you know, as I said to you in our text there, and I was like, but, I mean, you know, dude, three hearts and three fire emojis. That's pretty strong, you know, expression of support for somebody's butt hole picture. You couldn't say butt holes, his butt cheeks. But anyway, but like, I kind of agree with you, though, and like reading into it further and hearing what the. twink himself, you know, he's a twink, right? It's not offensive. He self-identifies as a twig.

Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah. With the twink himself describes the relationship. I kind of agree. He's being like he's being like a sweet old papal to this guy, but he's doing it on the thirst trap pictures and it's like, but he's still backing these anti-LGB

logging stuff, which makes him an asshole either way, but it's like, I don't know. The whole thing is weird and hilarious to me. That's part of what I find fascinating about this story is like, first of all, shout out to the Tennessee Holler. They're a progressive blog that broke this story. And they also want to do it.

Justin Canoe over there at the Tennessee Holler's been on the show before. We need to have him back on in the near future. We probably should have gotten on for this. I just didn't think about it. My bad, Justin. So they also are the ones that have done the drag pictures of Bill Lee. But before you tell what's fascinating. It's about who Randy McNally is a little bit.

He's a pharmacist by trade. He's Catholic, of course. He's a wife and two growing daughters. He's been in General Assembly since 1979, and he became a lieutenant governor in 2017, I believe. So now, reading this interview with the guy whose pictures he was liking, who genuinely seems to like him, Dally. Well, I was thinking about that. The context of all this has been that, like, Tennessee has introduced 26 anti-LGBQ plus bills this year, the most in the country. Two of already a pass, one criminalizing drag, another one targeting gender-affirming medical care for trans youth.

the drag bill of course got the most attention but they have a bunch more of more of the laws that are pending and now it supports all of them now what this appears

to be to me is a guy we're familiar with the archetype of someone who's publicly nice and then privately a monster absolutely especially if you're

from the south dude I mean that like it I mean that hell they are legion man that's like you just hear what these people's like political opinions are

or like in the case of these politicians the laws they support or whatever you might read a Facebook post it has to do nothing but politics and you think like this person is a raging lunatic and an asshole who hates everybody or whatever but like you just made them at the grocery store or something

and they're like the most saccharine sweet people you'll ever meet in your life like they're so polite and like outwardly kind to pretty much everybody and then they just like it's like jekyll and hide shit it's wild um and so me neither like does seem to Like, the guy who's named is Franklin McClure, the guy's pictures he was liking. And I said, get your vibe for this kid's personality. It seems a lot of fun.

I love being naked, he said, zooming from the porch of his home in Charlotte, North Carolina, wearing nothing but a pink pair of briefs and a whole lot of jewelry and lip gloss. So that's why I didn't want to wear a shirt for this interview because that shit is who I am. One day when I'm on the red carpet, I'm going to be naked, girl. All right. So the interviewer was trying to figure out how McNally knew him. I mean, he thinks that he did some community theater in a theater that McNally, like, attended shows at. That's how to be.

In Oak Ridge. I've, uh, oh, wait, I was going to say I've done that theater, but it actually might be a different place. But I may have done comedy at that same theater. I wonder if McNally saw that show. Probably not. Anyway, go ahead. Yeah, so the part is, like, he talks about like, like, where he lives in a rural South or whatever. He has no queer community, and that's part of why he's online.

And what's why that's why he was happy that Randy, is giving him attention. I'm so grateful to Randy. It's like a stamp of approval, you know, just to feel seen. Who doesn't want to feel seen? So you have a guy who privately is being supportive of someone who he likes and publicly is trying to make this guy feel even more fucking alone that made him post the pictures online in the first place, right?

And it, like, McKinnelly also likes some other pictures. And he, like, I saw, what's some other interviews about gay marriage? And he talked about how, like, Supreme Court legalized gay marriage, the law of the land. He knows gay couples. He thinks they're very nice. I was like, why can't you take the thing you know, which is that everyone you know who happens to be gay or trans or whatever, you like them, respect to human beings, and also make laws that reflect that. The answer is he thinks he'd lose elections. So he's pretending to be an asshole to win elections. And that's something that drove me fucking crazy. And part of the reason I didn't think like me now is up to anything shady here is McClure said that he never DMed him. He never asked him for nudes. He never did anything other than public comment. Your picture of your butt looks great today. Have a great day. Hold on, wait a minute. I thought he did say that he

DMed him, but nothing salacious. He would just DM him and be like, hey, are you doing all right or something like that? Just like the same types of comments. One in particular, like the thing I read said that, so the young man, the naked gentleman, in the interview he gave, he's sort of like, you know, he defended Randy or whatever.

He said, I'm grateful for him. I have compassion for him. I wish he wouldn't do all that law shit he does, but he's been nice to me. And I think he's a sweet guy. or whatever. And then Randy DMed him later that night when the interview came out or whatever. He de-ended him later and was like, hey, I appreciate you keeping it real. He said, I appreciate your truthfulness. If you ever knew anything, let me know. So like, you know, I don't know. They seem to

have a pretty all right relationship to me, the lieutenant governor and the twink. Yeah. And also like, this part resonated me. He said he was raised in Knoxville and a church-going Republican household that he said didn't always support his sexuality. He came out in 2017 but forced himself to go back in the closet and he said, I'm so grateful not to be a Christian anymore because of stress of reading your Bible every day in that whole vibe. Now I'm just memorize my Ariana Grande at my Doja Cap songs with the cuss words. I'm so happy and I can post my butthole.

A lot of upsides to it. I feel like there's probably some church going people that still post their butt holes. You know what I mean? You just got to compartmentalize. You know what I mean? Budholes Saturday night church on Sunday morning. Everybody knows that. That's a key element of Southern.

living there. The thing is, like, what he's showing Randy is Christian grace. He's starting forgiveness and open-mindedness. That's true. So, anyway, this is all fucking weird. And so, like, his spokesman said something about, like, how dare you guys try to construe something nefarious and a guy just being supportive of a constituent? I'm like, I'm not actually.

I'm not. What is asking your boss to be acting public as nice as he is in private? And then this part depressed me. He said, I'm really, really sorry. Like, he apologized. I'm like, who are you apologizing to? because it's not it's not Franklin it's not the guy who you've dragged into the

public eye who posts like nude and stuff although that the spotlight really hits for him. He says he's going to move to L.A. and become the male doja cat. So I hope to be tell you Franklin. But like like is I guess you probably

this is probably embarrassing to his wife. So you apologize to your wife but who the hell who you apologize into? He didn't do anything. He apologized to all the fucking bigots in the base who you know he panders to with all the shit that he does publicly. We say this anytime something like this comes up. It's like,

and I know at this point it goes without saying, but like none of the, I wouldn't have a problem with literally any of this if it wasn't for, you know, his policies and the shit that he votes for and helps the institute or whatever. Like just the lieutenant governor,

if the lieutenant governor was a like, you know, openly progressive in terms of LGBT stuff and like supportive of them and shit like that, I wouldn't, I would be like, yeah, well, you know, walking to walk fucking, you know, support the twinks. It's fine. Wouldn't bother me a bit. It's just because of the like, you know, seemingly apparent hypocrisy of it.

But usually it's this dude, I mean, yeah, I'm with you. This is like, this is kind of a different case because typically you see this type of thing, it does seem to be, I don't know, more salacious or however you want to put it than I think this is. Maybe he has been closeted and self-denying his whole life and he sees this young guy expressing himself and living out loud, and he's like, I wish I could have been that guy. But either way, the South is such a mysterious place. And I know it doesn't make sense to you guys who aren't from there. But to me, it perfectly tracks this church. The guy goes to church every Sunday.

He runs to offices of the Republican, talks like a droopy dog. It likes butthole picks on the weekends. It just the way it goes. A tale is all this time, buddy. Yeah. All right. Our next and only honorable mention for Daily Dumbass is bullied kids for not realizing that actually they're the most popular ones.

Let's see what Ron DeSantis is telling himself here. Socceroom gets you ready for the press, right? Because your teammates, if they like you a lot, they rip you all the time. The way you know that people like you like you is if they're making fun of you. So you really have concluded the press really likes you. Because they're always ripping you. So like with your, you know, with your boys and shit, yes, that is true. But it's for Ron DeSantis like telling himself that about like,

everything else. Everybody else's opinion of him and everything is pretty funny to me. I don't think that's what most people are. I don't think most people. Like, I know when we go after him on here, it's not because, like, I think he's such a swell guy. It seems like a real bro. Let's rip him apart for an hour.

That's not my motivation. Fox News is doing everything they can to make Santa's popular. It's just not working. This was part of an extended interview where him and Brian Kilmead played catch with a big, they put on baseball gloves and their suits and just played a really clumsy game of catch, which DeSantis played college baseball, so it's mostly kill me for not being up a throw. But so it's like, but it's not working.

You're still polling it like whatever. And like when Trump's not expressing affection for DeSantis and he calls him like a short, sanctimonious creep, right? So, yeah, I don't know what. That was just like, what the fuck, buddy. Yeah. Okay. All right.

Let's get into it. So I told you before we started and I'll just tell everybody else now. So we're talking about banks, one particular bank. that that has failed and everything that's going on with that. And I told you before we started, like, I'm very openly, not just money dumb, but also pretty, you know, bank dumb, finance, dumb. A lot of this stuff I get into it and I just start like I, you know,

not my eyes glazing over. I'm just like, I just start to feel lost. So, you know, you have to help me understand this mark. I saw, I was doing my Patreon videos where I like look at the news while commenting on it live or whatever and I saw this happen. and I just didn't even know. I was like, okay,

so a bank failed, well, boohoo, I don't, you know, whatever, I don't really give a fuck. Well,

I guess we'll just see if we bail them out. And I saw something about Barney Frank, which I think we'll come up later. And, but anyway, yeah, so a bank failed in California,

Silicon Valley Bank, service in tech industry. I'd never heard of it because I'm not in tech, but it's like the 16th, was the 16th biggest bank in the country. Did business with most of like the big tech brands you've heard of. they said they bragged to have they did business with like 50% of all venture capital projects in the country at any given time or something like that so they were pretty

big fucking deal up there in northern California and now uh well they have fallen well here's one thing you know is like three regional banks collapsed right in the last couple weeks but only one of them you've heard about because the people involved in this one are the whiniest bunch of fucking psychopaths you ever hurting their entire goddamn life all right so So they successfully annoyed the federal government into saving their asses. So, yeah, but let's start with what did not cause this. If you watch this clip of Representative James Comer on Fox News real quick. And then we see now coming out that they were one of the most woke banks in their quest for the ESG type policy and investing.

This could be a trend. And there are consequences for bad Democrat. So these people, the government, and anybody adjoices to the government, they love TLAs, three-letter acronyms, right? They love to acronize anything. But so, like, there's two that are going to come up, right? D-E-I, diversity. Equity and inclusion. Equity and inclusion.

And then ESG is environmental. Social and governance. It's like ethical investing. Right. And so it's like, but it's just, it's funny, like, turn them into just these, like, just, letter like the diversity equity and inclusion sounds like something would be hard to have a problem with you know but you can openly shit on it for being woke bullshit that's ruining america's economy or whatever much easier when you you know change it into this uh you know scary nebulous

three letter acronym or whatever because it's just it's a wild thing to openly shit on it seems to me but they've made an entire sport out of it i think everyone sort of knows this but something is important to repeat is it like companies do stuff like start DEI boards and stuff as a way to keep from doing actually anything meaningful. Of course. Yeah. So like nobody's actually doing anything here. No, it's just like they make the fucking the ads and stuff during the Super Bowl or

during the pandemic or whatever about like how much they care and all this shit. It's like I've always said if they come like if a company comes out and does something that seems like outwardly woke, you can bet that behind the scenes they've run some analysis that indicates that that is the more profitable tack for them to take in the climate that they operate in. It's not, they don't,

none of them give a fuck about any of that. The only thing that matters to them is making money. But like, there's a bunch of studies that show that more diversity makes you more money as a company, you know, so like there are reasons for them to do this stuff that's just good all American capitalism at work,

but it's demonized because the fucking woke mob and everything else. But yeah, it's all horseshit. Yeah, so DeSantis, man at the head lot up there, DeSantis said that blamed it on DEI stuff too. And he said, that's why he was expressing the guys of saying, that's why banks in Florida will be faith because they don't do woke shit, which we'll see, buddy.

Fox went all in on calling this. They used the actual use the phrase DEI, ESG Marxism. All right. And by the way, I'm sure investing ethically is like theoretically possible. I'm not sure exactly how, you know, in the end of the day, you've got to make money or your fund collapses. and even if you'll be investing in stuff like lithium batteries, lithium's mine from like doing coups in Bolivia.

So I'm not sure. Like your mileage may vary on that stuff. Well, another thing too about like like like, like, okay, lithium batteries are like, I don't know, solar like green energy and shit.

It's not like you can't make money on that stuff. Do you know what I mean? Like if that's going to be like the wave of the future, then getting in on it now is going to make you a shitload of money in the future. So it's like it's just good business. sense, you know, and you'd think of all people would understand that. It's, I don't know. Right.

So if you wonder, like, the part of this that might hold water, even though it's a meaningless concept of this point. It's not even worth, like, the word means everything and nothing at the same time. But like, so what they, what part of this bank did was they had relationships with more than 1,500 companies that were working on technologies aimed at curbing global warming, like creating solar hydrogen battery storage projects. But yeah, you're right. It's because there's going to be money in it.

The guy who figures out climate capture is going to be a, fucking trillion it. But like so but this isn't what Fox is even talking about like the conservatives like Wall Street Journal and editorial yesterday that read let me read this to you because this is fucking mind blowing. And a proxy statement, SVB notes that besides 91%

of their board being independent and 45% women, they also have one black, one LBGT and two veterans. I'm not saying that I'm quoting here, I want to make clear I'm not saying this. I'm not saying that 12 white men would have avoided this mess, but the company may have been distracted by diversity demands. Now, I

Because instead of 12, they had 10 or whatever. Right, right. Because it's like, this board isn't all white. I'm not saying an all white board would be good, but it seems like maybe their priorities or elsewhere. It's like, why? Because they let one black dude in the room. The most low bank in the country has one black dude on the board.

Yeah. Like, what the fuck? That's too much. That's too much. That's too woke having one black guy and one gay person or queer person, however they identify. like it's fucking ridiculous talking about how the DEI stuff is spin often like how Wall Street Journal editorial board quoted their web page talking about their

diversity you know 93 1% independent 45% women one black one out one gay person and two veterans here's here's another way to slice the numbers the way vice did it 10 of their 11 board directors or 10 of their 11 directors are white all of them are rich and the youngest is 53 years old SBB's board it should be noted as less diverse than any of the United States is top five banks so okay i'm sorry sorry sorry if i'm skipping ahead we can elaborate on it later but one of them's barney frank right is isn't he isn't that the deal here a different board i think oh okay i thought it was this one well either way whatever yeah um so yeah so besides the fact that woke is meeting in this context SVP failed because they had an undiversified client

portfolio and there was a bank run from some of the most cutthroat ano i can even say anarcho capitalist people. They call their self-desperab psycho right-wing libertarians. Like, that's who caused this. And they did it on purpose. And then they're then they're bringing, blame and weakness. And by the way, there is a Republican

critique that would be cogent that exists. I don't fully agree with it, but it would go like this. The Biden administration was asleep at the regulatory wheel, which kind of true. We'll get to that. And secondly, dumped like a bunch of spending in the economy was bad, which I disagree with, but was inflationary, which is

somewhat true. And trying to counter it by raising interest rates led led to this, which is like sort of true, but like, who gives a fuck? Like, who promised them a lifetime gravy train of easy billions, right? Right. But so, and I'm sorry if I'm, because like I said, this is all, like, I'm sort of all over the place of this. So sorry if I'm getting ahead of you here, but you said these anarcho-capitalists

caused this, right? And they knew they were doing it. They, like, they just all decided to pull their money out of the bank at the same. like a like a like a like a domino effect right like it's like they they somebody pulls their money out and somebody's like you hear the people are pulling their money out well what why it's good things are bad there oh i better pull my money out and then and then they just all do it and now the bank is fucked right but but like but why what was the like inciting incident or the catalysts like what all right so what did they do that all right so what happened was let me find it so

SVB was really leveraged in like 10-year treasury-backed securities. When the Fed raised interest rates, it made those pay out less and be more expensive. So they were a little more cash poor. Also, their clients, because of higher interest rates, were having a harder time borrowing money, so they had to pull a lot of their cash out of the bank. So they were already getting short. So to make up the difference, the bank announced they were going to sell more shares, right? And so that caused a panic where people think in the bank were going, it was going broke when they actually weren't.

But their panic made the bank actually go broke. Yeah. All right. Yeah. And so. That actually makes sense to make. You're good at this, Mark. All right.

So they got squeezed in both ends and then they got, then they got fucked in the middle. Right. So, but like when, when Trace talking about these guys decided together, he's not even remotely exaggerating. It was literally a group chat. Silicon Valley's 200 richest people are in the same group chat. And they all decided at the same time to pull the money out of this. bank. And that's where this gets really fucking funny, all right? Because the bad guys here, all right, first of all, Greg Becker was the fort with his CEO until he got fired last week or

forced to resign, I guess. Right before they announced the shortfall, he sold off almost 13,000 shares for about $3.6 million, netting himself a tiny $2.3 million profit. It was like two weeks before the bank failure. So the feds are investigating that, right? Chuck Schumer said Congress is investigating that. And this was just funny. The guy they were pointing to replace him, his name's Tim Myopolis. He today asked customers to please return some of their funds into the bank. We're doing great guys.

Another factor in this was San Bankman Freed and Crypto. I couldn't really understand what that, but I guess there's some of their, a lot of the people who were having to pull cash to the bank were having to do so because they were heavily leveraged in crypto and lost a bunch of money in Bankman freed shit. But the ringleader here is Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel comes up on this show probably more than anyone but Trump. He's like the forest grump of chaotic evil. He's fucking everywhere, something shitty happening is Peter Thiel standing there. So he was one of the first movers here because he's a leader in Silicon Valley, everyone followed suit. And one of these guys, so one guy who was in this fucking group chat, we all decided to do this, he talked about,

he posted in Twitter a live TikTok of how the bank run went down and I think he admitted to a crime in the middle of it because he said that after they pulled their money and decreased the bank's stock price he went and scoop some up

because he knew it was still a solid investment. Right. He fucking short of this company basically and improv it off destroying it and but luckily the way the bank the sorry good. Yeah. Well he ended up getting fucked on that though right.

I mean, I still, like, he didn't know that what you're saying is still true, but that ended up, it ended up being worthless at the end of the day, and he fucked himself over, correct? Right. He lost all his money on that deal because the way the government stood doing the bail out, I'm going to put bail out in air quotes, because you argue about whether or not to bail out. Yeah, that whole thing. So, like, Mark's talking about, there's this, this dude who was involved in all this, he's a tech, bro, whatever, and he posted this whole, like, breakdown. This is exactly an hour by hour, how this all went down. And it's like, you read through it, and it's like, I don't know. No, he's just saying like, yeah, everybody was saying, oh, shit's going on, we better get her money out.

So I immediately started pulling all of our money out, you know, and then towards the end of it, he's like, it's just kind of a shame this happened, but what are you going to do? You know what I mean? And it's like, but you, like, that, y'all did it. Like you were, you know, actively participating in all that. And then, yes, in the middle of it, he's like, when the bank bottomed out, I scooped up some of their share, because, hey, that's just what you do. And it's just like, it's just taken for granted that these kind of inherently shady and self-interested moves that people, make in the name of profit you know it's just like that's just the philosophy like that's just what you do and that's accepted and he's like yeah any smart businessman would do the same thing and it's like

it's just kind of a bummer but that's how their brains work and that's how the system works when there's blow in the streets by property buddy um so another v another VC dude had actually had a good take on this is like I'm looking forward to the tweets and the venture capitalists who sparked this bank run congratulating themselves on their prescience like you're saying like they They said, oh, my God, there's going to be a bank run. They did a bank run. They go, ha, ha, I was right. There was a bank run.

I was like, you're the fucking one who did it. You decided to do it. And so, but they weren't just using their platforms. Like, they weren't just, didn't just drill their money out. They publicly announced everyone should get their money out. And then they also, in guys are trying to get the feds to do something. They tried to, these guys have huge social media funds among particular types of as followings among particular types of people.

They were trying to spark other runs and other community banks to try to make the Fed act. right the F-D-S-E-X sorry so like they were trying to manifest a worldwide global economic collapse so the federal government would step in and save their investments it's one of the most evil fucking things for seeing me my entire life

it's incredibly maddening and like they they were so shameless about it they spent all weekend begging on the on on Twitter for the federal government to do something and like Jason Kalanakis who's like a big-time investor was like you should get in all caps you should absolutely be terrified right now that is the proper

reaction to bank running contagion president and secretary yelling must get on tv tomorrow and guarantee all deposits up to 10 million dollars if this was filing the chaos so these idiots had all their money in checking accounts they're only insured up to 250,000 dollars and they want the by the fdIC you mean yeah yeah okay because i was about to say it's like i got to say like i thought the whole point the fdic was to protect like you know if like because it's started because all the bank robberies, right? So a bank would get robbed, and now some fucking farmer has no more money because the bank's like, yeah, Jesse James and the boys took it.

What are you going to do? And the FDIC was formed to, like, keep that from happening. So, like, the bank gets fucked, but the person gets their money back, right? Which, like, that, I mean, I'm all for that. But, like, it shouldn't be exploited by these people, right? So there's a, there's a limit on how much it's insured for or whatever. because I don't want to get into like, you know, I don't know. I think generally speaking, the idea of the FDIC and how it's supposed to work is probably a good thing because, you know, one of my banks fucking goes under.

Oh, I don't have any problem. I actually, like, the way that the way they did this bailout were like the investors and shareholders are wiped out, but the account holders are made whole. That actually makes sense to be. I'm not against this policy. Yes, that's the way it should be right there, in my opinion. Yeah. If you make an investment as a shareholder in some big entity, like a bank or whatever, and it fucking goes under, you shouldn't just get your, it's like, well, that isn't fair.

It wasn't supposed to go under. It's supposed to be good. And I was supposed to make a bunch of money, but it was bad. And now I have no money. Somebody needs to give me all that money. It's like, no, fuck, you play the game, you know, you fucking buy the ticket, take the ride or whatever. But, yeah, but like just money in people's accounts and whatnot should be protected or whatever. But you and I are left-win, right?

Right. What you're sum it up as sort of a left-wing idea. Well, the world shouldn't be so random and cruel. These guys love it random and cruel. Yeah. They literally advocate for the world to be more random and cruel. And then the whole premise upon their extreme form of capitalism is that you make a bad bet, you get wiped out. I remember a few years ago, Floyd Mayweather, Instagramed a picture of an ATM receipt,

and he had $80 million in his fucking personal checking account. And I was like, that's stupid. This guy's going to get wiped out if the bank goes under. And like, I was like, who else? else could be that dumb and you have these guys had hundreds of millions of dollars in cash just sitting in checking accounts that's a that's a kind of mistake that's supposed to fucking wipe you out in their world right right these are the same people that charge us late banking fees for missing a payment yeah so one of the biggest assholes here is david sacks

who's a big time bench a silicon valley dude he spends his whole life tweeting the tech and fix the world of government just got out of the way and this had this happening i mean when i say cried i I mean cried all weekend on Twitter. I mean, like, then, today he tweeted and denied he was ever a libertarian when he's called himself a libertarian for a decade. But this isn't my observation. Someone else made this joke, but there's no atheists in foxholes, no libertarians in a bank run. But like, all this is just like, this is all so stupid.

And one of the reasons this was really concerning to me and while I was paying close attention to it is my employer who I don't want to name. Their employer is one of these tech companies that had hundreds of millions of dollars sending one of these checking accounts. I was like, am I going to lose my job and get evicted? Because these motherfuckers got took by a bank that was stupid. Right. You know, like, none of this makes any sense, but like, we're all subject to like the vagaries of random shit that happens to the world that costs us our entire life savings and shit.

And they're not. Right. Is there too big to fail or whatever? Right. Yeah. And like, I'm not saying that they shouldn't be protected. I'm saying, why aren't we all this fucking protected? That's the part that drives me crazy.

But the political fighter of this is going to be real stupid because, like, okay, so Dodd-Frank would have stopped this. Because part of what happened here is this bank was only worth $50 billion. I had a $50 billion in assets a couple of years ago. Dodd-Frank used to regulate banks that are $50 billion differently than banks bigger than that. Dodd-Frank raised that cap to $250 billion, so they immediately grew to $250 billion. They were intensely trying to be at the less, but under a less regulated side. Dodd-Frank was put into place after the 2008 financial collapse. Obama, Obama signed a law, I think 2010.

All right. Here's Trump taking credit for losing these regulations in 2018. We've done. But we've kept yet another promise as I signed the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act into law. It's a big deal. It's a big deal for our country. This is truly a great day for America. and a great day for American workers and small businesses all throughout the nation.

Yeah. The legislation I'm signing today rolls back to crippling Dodd-Frank regulation. It was, so, yeah, so it was a victory for workers. Do you remember the day we celebrated when Dodd-Frank fell, right? We all fucking raised a beer. So Dodd-Frank is one of the career legislative achievements for Barney Frank, who was a congressman from Massachusetts, who was the guy that Trump used to make fun of his nipples. yeah remember that so he's a democrat in massachusetts so uh he now sits on the board of

signature bank which just collapsed probably because of the removal of dod frank he had advocated for undoing his own bill after he got on the bank board right called him up and asked how he felt about it and he declined comment yeah that's the thing like he his name was on the bill to regulate banks and then he got on a bank board and he's like we should stop regulating banks and now his bank has collapsed. It's another thing. Like, I know I saw in here somewhere, like DeSantis, like, they're going to, so they're going to blame Biden. This happened on Biden's watch. You see what happens? When Biden's at control, this happens, right? And it's like, maybe they, are they asleep at the wheel?

They should be doing more or whatever, I guess. But I don't want to hear it from these motherfuckers because they want zero regulations at all. Like I saw one of the interviews with DeSantis where he's saying that. He's like, you know, we got all these, we got all these crazy big government regulations but yet this still happens and it's like well what is your argument because you want to get rid of all of them are you arguing that this wouldn't happen if there were none like the argument should be we need to actually enforce the fucking things right but you want to get rid of all of them but still you're it's just talking about sides of your mouth and trying to have it both ways and that's what that's how they're going to play the whole thing because that's how they play

everything yeah I mean regulations like we've tried a lot pure conservative economics a bunch of times. This is what happens. This is the fault of, like, regulations. This is the, I mean, it might be the fault of design of regulations. Like, you can, you can have, like, like, loopholes and accidents. But, like, on restrained capitalism looks like 1929, we're jumping on a building out of windows because they lost all their money. Like, and that's when, that's back when you could have child slaves and make people eat at asbestos for lunch for cheaper. And it's still, yeah. So, but yeah, but this isn't like, this is part of the thing is like, so Republicans get in the office, they remove all regulations. Then Democrats get in office.

and maybe put, like, a few of them back. There's, like, a ratching effect where things get more and more out of control. And, like, to the damn's end of this, it's not just Barney Frank lobbying to undo his own best bill. It's like, Biden's been president for two and a half years, and they haven't done anything to try to reinstate Dodd-Frank. And, like, also, as far as being asleep at the regulatory wheel, I brought it up earlier. But so beginning of last week, the chair of the FDIC, his name's Martin Greenberg. He gave a speech warning that this was about to happen, but they didn't seize the bank until after it happened. happened on Friday. Like, if this bit in 2008, when Obama was first in there, they took,

they took over fucking banks immediately. He took over a ton of banks. I know Biden's afraid to be, if they'd taken over the bank, Biden would have been called a communist by these same assholes who are begging him for a bailout. But like, so what? I mean, it's just, so anyway, yeah, it's the, I'm not laying this at Biden's feet. I'm saying I'm laying this at like, this is the whole party's entrenched ideology did not really try that hard to do too much, although I should be seen as radical. right well that's the thing it's like even our like left wing party in this country is still like super capitalistic and pro big business at the end of the day like way more than I would like to see you know what I mean like they're but like but still it's not not like the fucking not the Republicans who would you know strip all the regulations away but yeah I mean it should I'd tighten the belt way way more if it was up to me but nobody wanted to do that in charge apparently I'm just so sick of living in this cycle where we have a huge economic downturn because of banking shit every eight or nine years.

And I don't know if this is going to expand. But like today, Moody's did downgrade all of our six biggest banks, the credit rating. So I don't know what that means or whether it's going to have any effect, but like they're not optimistic. And like this is just like you've got to use this, Joe Biden, if you're watching. You got to use this crisis to rejigger the system where it's going to happen again, again and again and again. This is like the fifth one of these I've lived. through it. I'm not that fucking old. And this is getting

so repetitive and stupid. So you're going to have a lot of time of moral hazards and all this. So just so everyone knows what it has. There's nothing to the morality. It's like if you don't let people experience a consequence of the reactions are more likely to take bigger risks. Like if you bail out this bank, if they'd actually made the

shareholders whole, the bank would have had no incentive to not take bigger riskier bets. Right. Which is probably true. So it's good that they're not they're not getting their investment back or that fucking asshole who caused the bank run then bought shares in the bank would have made a hefty son off of it. But it's worth noting that all these same fucking ghouls who got bailed out were very

public in their opposition to student loan forgiveness because of, you call it, moral hazards. All right? And so, like, let me talk about this. Larry Summers, who worked, who's an economist who worked at both the Clinton and Obama administrations, was tweeting up a storm all weekend, I'm quoting here, advocating for a complete bailout of Silicon Valley Bank. And he said, Summers doesn't want to hear any moral hazard lectures, as he puts it, about the risks. But a couple months ago, former Harvard University president and Treasury Secretary Larry Summers took the Twitter Monday to say the student debt relief could have negative effects on inflation and lead to moral hazards. The inflation part of this is fucking maddening because the Fed, this is what the Fed wanted to happen.

They wanted interest rates to directly lead to there being less money in the economy. and then they did it and they immediately had to bail out this bank because they had the potential to make a bunch of people immediately unemployed but these are the wrong people this wasn't the people

they wanted to make unemployed so this is like they got to find another fucking target it's just like we did our whole episode last week talking about they're about to get rid of SNAP their dial back SNAP benefits and all these other federal welfare programs but like they're willing to spend

to help those group of people again this isn't about them not me not wanting them to be protected made whole it's like what happened what's about the fucking rest of us uh Jesus Christ um so you're gonna have a big battle you're gonna see a bunch of fighting about whether or not this is a bailout and part of that because of the psychology of this stuff and I wanted to talk about this because I found some interesting social science research about student let student loan forgiveness the other day um so this woman is the headline your head up mat you put it back up if you want is his article in slate this

woman talked about something called the public goods game basically it's like people get really upset about being played for a sucker all right and the way they demonstrated this in this game is like um it's just sort like a game theory type thing we have two people who can't see each other they can pass a note back and forth and the first person has 10 dollars and they have to like make the person an offer for how much they get and if the person access it they both get to keep the amount of their chunk of that 10 if the person rejects it and neither them get anything and the basic rule of thumb is if you say you keep six and they get four, most people will take that deal.

This is four free dollars, mind you. They're getting for nothing but writing on a piece of paper. But if you push it to seven to three, they're going to say, fuck you, neither of us get anything. Yeah. It's just like that's a really,

those are really weird. Everybody knows all the rules of the game and they know the other person has $10. Uh-huh. Yeah. I'm not in a lot. I probably would, would also do that. If I knew all that,

some motherfucker wrote, it was like, I'd give you three of them. I'd be like, you know what? fuck that that's all i'm worth well how about we both get nothing are you happy now motherfucker yeah i would i definitely would be one of those subjects in the in the way we when uh when biden i don't have been a platform for it to matter but when biden talks about student loan forgiveness

he should probably talk in terms of what do we do for everyone as opposed to helping these particular group of people because people who aren't getting it get really mad they they feel like they're subsidizing somebody else getting something for free but yeah i was like i remember in college we had we had we took this like morality and philosophy class uh i forget the name of the name of the class doesn't matter but the whole the whole like midterm exam was the class had to get together and negotiate if we all agreed to collaborate we would all get b pluses right but if two people tricked the class and they're agreeing to cooperate and they didn't cooperate they would get a pluses and we would get b minuses so on down unless everyone tried to be selfish and

then we'd all fail, right? So I absolutely got taken for a sucker. We all agreed to cooperate and three people were assholes and they got A's. And I was like, I got like a C plus or B minus or whatever. And it was a very good lesson in there. But the lesson I took away from it was like, I'm just going to try to do the right thing anyway because somebody's always going to be assholes with over on you.

Well, for the record, also, if I was the one giving the money, if I was the one deciding the chunk of the $10, I would do five and five every time. Right. Me too. You guarantee to get five. Like, okay, five, you get five, I get five, that's the fairest thing. Like, just so everybody knows, which I think is why, if somebody tried to give me two or three, I'd be like, what the fuck, bro? But also, I just want to say, because I would do that, but when it comes to the people that are like, I had to pay my student loans, now they don't get to, that ain't right? Like, I still think that's bullshit.

And, uh, because I did that. I had student loans. I paid them off. I still want people to have their student loans forgiven. So, um, same here. Just putting on my basis here, I guess. But because what kind of world is it where like someone who got a master's degree to be a social worker can't get their student loan debt and is forgiven, but some guy who's trying to make an app to make a drone that walks dogs loses $50 million because he mismanaged his money and he gets money at hole. Right.

It's like it doesn't make any sort of sense to me. So, okay, but back to the more hazardous thing is here, it's like part of the logic of these dudes why they get to be super wealthy is because they've taken big risks, right? and so and they didn't fuck up but these the people who lost their money here they're talking about the depositors did fuck up because this bank made them sign a exclusive contract to only bank with them so they couldn't diversify their accounts that is a huge business fuck up the market's just punishing them for being stupid and that this is what drives me crazy about like all the like teeth gnashing about like firms going under who didn't do anything wrong that happens every day like try to talk to somebody tried to open a restaurant right right like

I feel bad for people that work at Uber who just did coding and we're going to lose their job and their futures of the company to let them go and they didn't do anything except work for a company that had their money in a bank. But like, what about the people who paid six figures for a taxi medial in like 2008 in New York, not knowing that Uber was coming? They didn't do anything wrong. They just got fucked. So where's their safety net? Uber's getting bailed out, but not of the people. And that's one of the things like these guys seem to be utterly shocked that no one felt sympathy for them. It's like, whose industries did you think you were disrupting?

You know, like, so, yeah, like, we've ran to a lot about capitalism, just to wrap this up real quick. And it's like, it's not just because I think that like some other economic system would be perfect. I'm renting by capitalism because that's a system we live under. Every system's going to have like, systems crush individuals. It's what they do. The reason you have like an overseeing authority is try to ameliorate the consequences of that. Like if a zebra breaks his leg, it's not his fault, but he's still. going to get eaten by the lion evolution's not fair but we can make the world more fair right exactly so

well and also it's like you said all the people that like want it to be like you said they loved it they they espouse all this all the time like that's the beauty of the system is that it is you know unfair and you got to know how to play the rules and you know if you get burned fuck you and they they like all talk all that game but then when it happens to them they're fucking hat and hand where's the government now bullshit it's just it's just like with McNally or earlier in the you know none of it would be a problem if it wasn't for the hypocrisy if they actually like were principled in their sociopathy sociopathy however then it might be a different story but uh they're just not it's all you know for the not for me shit in this country and that's

what pisses me off but uh matt if you want to throw up a couple comments up there before we get out here but um yeah yeah my wife uh my wife as a friend tried to be too specific here but she uh she opened fitness studio took out a bunch of business loans to do it and her grand opening happened to be February of 2020 yeah I know when you said that about restaurants earlier I almost brought up COVID I was like you know I mean people got fucked so hard irreparably hard by COVID and it's just like you know I mean that just sucks like like nobody nobody knew that shit was going to happen remember Tiger King when the tiger bites the employee's leg off and Joe's like I'll never financially recover.

I never going to financially recover from this. Yeah. Edge finances. Opening a small business is the biggest risk you can take. Yeah. Yeah. And we celebrate that in this country.

And I'm not saying we should. I mean, we should, you know, like real businesses. I don't know about the fucking drone dog walking apps and stuff. But that's like, that's the story here.

It's all those people. You know, it's like everything is like vaporware and shit. Now, like things just aren't real anymore. You know what I mean? Like, I went to a cobbler last week. You know what I'm saying?

And that dude, he's got like a craft and he does a good job and it's a service and all that. And it's like, that's how everything used to be. But now so much stuff is like just money for like what even is it. You know what I mean? People have millions and millions of dollars and I have no idea for what or how or what they do for the world or any of that shit. You know, like before we read this comment, let me like. So one of these people ran one of these startups is a woman. And she was like, tell her your personal talent, do feel sorry for her.

Because like she apparently put all she did in the hell she had in this company. And she's like, my husband works at Joe, we're not wealthy. I drive a Honda to see you got two kids in public school. I'm like, yeah, I don't want you to suffer later. I get that. But someone looked up what her company does. It's an app that makes you bespoke to-do lists using AI for $6 a month. $12 day pay.

come on dog really sorry as i feel bad for her too but like i mean that's such a perfect example of exactly what i'm talking about uh diane l burnt says it's just like cancel culture they can ban books and all that and that's okay but try to take something away from them and all of a sudden they're getting canceled yeah i mean no one's even trying to take anything it's like hey man you shouldn't say that that's mean it's like i'm being put in prison yeah And then they just keep saying it all anyway and everything. And it's like, you know, yeah. Council culture is bullshit.

So you guys know if you're planning trips to Southern California, so be prepared for it to be green, which is very weird. It's green right now. So make a wish. You watch the hope and air wall. The perverse to think about this is to make wildfires season worse because there'll be more roughage to dry.
