Stacy and Max start the show with a look at the world's feudal lords in a rentier society: Banksters. They look at massive "rent seeking" and "financial dislocation" as the money lenders chase new alpha through higher rents of their massive REO inventory.
One beautiful phrase which Max uses: he calls Zero Interest Rates, which excludes 99.9% of us from the benefits within, as "Financial Jim Crow Laws".
As Max explains, if you're on the inside of Zero Interest Rates, or the Big House (as he aptly calls it) you're the first in line borrower of cheap money at Zero Interest. But if you're one of the 99%ers, you're out there in the fields, fighting for your meals, shopping at the "company store" (i.e. Walmart, Tedsco, etc.) you're going too pay through the nose with "interest charged" to buy your necessities of life.
Max also covers the "Bond Bubble" and what is about to happen in that realm when the bubble pops. He claims that KKR's move into offering new products to low net individuals is "a bell being rung" at the market top for the bond bubble. As he expalins, KKR is taking its long term security risk, packaging it for a gullible public of small investors, and the public will be, in essence, buying into KKR's long term interest rate risk. Max claims anyone buying into this new KKR scheme will be losing 75 to 90% of their investment, while KKR's risk will be insulated by taxpayers.
The last part of the show, Max interviews Ian Williams a specialist in gold/silver who says you want to buy silver in the coming precious metals bull market. Watch the video to see Williams reasoning.

Keiser Report: Banksters Bilking Billions and Max Interviews Reggie Middleton
In this episode, Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert discuss David Cameron appointing former bankers to Treasury. We look at another former banker who became a Treasury Secretary only to become a bankster - Robert Rubin - and his role in Citigroup bilking Abu Dhabi of billions.
In the second part of this Episode (starting at the 13:00 mark), Max interviews Reggie Middleton of the Boom Bust Blog. Reggie is brilliant in his look at the fraudulent way Goldman Sachs arranged the Facebook offering, how Apple is setting itself up for a loss vis a vis the Samsung lawsuit "win", and his feelings about why Central Banks are just covers for the Oligarchs destroying the middle class and what needs to be done in Europe. This is must see TV and fun to watch as Max's hyperkinetic delivery and Reggie's soft, but well thought out speech are great to have juxtaposed:

Max Keiser: Bernanke Has Created A Self-Feeding Cow With Wall Street
Stacy and Max appear in one of the funniest, shortest clips of this year. It all starts innocently enough when Stacy reads a news report of the drought and how it has taken a toll on feed for cattle. Stacy goes on to tell us about one enterprising cattle rancher who bought second-hand candy and fed that to his cattle. The candy was beneficial. It was cheaper than silage. And it supplied more fat per pound fed to the cattle.
Max takes the tip and runs. "So, if someone shows up to your door on Halloween dressed as a cow, it could actually be a cow" . . . and from there, Max and Stach make one of the funniest stretches of analogy concerning Bernanke, the Fed, and Wall Street banksters.
Without giving away the rest of the humor, watch this short clip about the self-feeding cows of Wall Street and the Federal Reserve:

Watch the Rise of High Frequency Trading; bonus: Max Keiser "What If Algo Bot Shrugged?"
Here's a very quick . . . and silent . . . five year look at high frequency trades on the US's major stock market. Notice that in 2007, the volume spikes were clearly noticeable at the morning's open and the afternoon's close.
As time moves forward in this short video, notice how the high frequency trades become bigger and noisier between the open and closes.
By the time we read 2012, the high frequency trading is so prevalent, that the live representation on this graph looks like a pink noise generator used by sound men to set the equalization in a new arena or room where they are setting up a multi-million dollar PA.
Check this out. This shows why most of the volume in the stock markets now is not by longterm investors, many of whom have fled the exits years ago after losing faith in a rigged casino where the rule of law was tossed out the Penthouse windows of the Banksters who control the action:
p.s. As a bonus, here is a very short Max Keiser and Stacy clip talking about HFT being 86% of the NYSE daily volume and how just yesterday, a key executive of one of Australia's largest retail stock brokerages, just blew the lid off the damage HFT was doing to that country and it's stock exchange.

Max Keiser Report 6/22/11 - Greece News And An Interesting Interview With Professor Steve Keen
Max Keiser and his sidekick, Stacy, report on their recent trip to Greece where they witnessed a society taking it to the streets.
They also cover the IMF report which just downgraded the United States' GDP rate from 2.7 to 2.5%. Kaiser says these numbers are cooked. Stacy and Max stop and consider the irony in this as Stacy points out the IMF just a few years ago was "bankrupt". Then they focus on how the IMF is playing Hank Paulson type of politics with America, calling for America to increase its debt ceiling ASAP. As Stacy points out, all the IMF wants is more debt posted by America. If America will increase its debt to the banksters, the IMF will cease downgrading American GDP.
They then cover these sentences from a recent piece in the Financial Times by Stephen Roach: "The global economy is being hobbled by a new generation of zombies, the economic walking dead. The US Consumer is in the early stages of an unprecedented retrenchment."
Max Keiser Interviews Professor Steve Keen
After Stacy completes her segment of tossing headlines to Max, Max comes back from a break in the show to interview "The Non-Economist, Non-Economist" Australian Economics Professor Steve Keen. Professor Keen takes Keiser through the differences of private vs. public debt . . . a fascinating explanation of why we are in a Global Debt Crisis today. Keen beautifully explains private created debt drives the economy while government debt is like an ambulance which comes along to rescue the bad drivers in the private sector.
Possibly the most contentious assertion which Keen makes is the only way for us to get out of this mess is to increase private wages. Keen says raising wages will cause inflation; however, he states the only way to reduce the "value" of our debt is to increase inflation.
Lastly, my favorite thought from Steve Keen is how he looks at the banks. He says they are the big villains in the Credit Crisis as they are not in the business of lending money to finance business capitalization any longer, but are in the business of speculation.

Max Keiser On Financial Terrorism, Marks On The Heads Of Bankster CEOs, Financial Rape Of Sovereign Countries + Bonus Video
Max Keiser lets loose with both barrels on RT TV, claiming Libyan forces have put a mark on Llyod Blankfein's head. Keiser has been in Europe doing interviews on radio and tv to raise awareness of Europeans to the "financial terrorism" (his words)visited upon their countries by Too Big Too Fail Western Banks.
To understand why Libya is upset with Goldman Sachs and other Western Too Big To Fail Banks, see the second "bonus" video explaining how Western Banks "invested" billions of Quaddafi's money to plug "holes" in their books.
Bonus video from a few weeks ago explaining why Western Banks aren't going to pay back Col. Quaddafi:
