Listen now | In this week’s episode of Krystal Kyle & Friends, we discuss current events alongside the history of corporate greed condoned by the government. This is told through the lens of the 2008 financial crash, a story brilliantly brought together in the documentary
Thanks for bringing this fabulous documentary to the attention of your viewers, Krystal and Kyle. Brought me to tears when they talked about Addie Polk, but was happy that you ended this show by pointing out that so many are facing eviction at this moment and experiencing similar stress...it's insane that our government can get away with being so unresponsive to it's citizens and yet so responsive to corporate money.
Also check out the 9-part interview that Paul Jay did on The Analysis News with the guy they referenced here as their mentor on The Con, Bill Black. Best interview series I've ever watched with numerous segments of The Con featured there.
Finally, check out the Wikipedia entry on Roland Arnall as well as his obituaries in the New York Times and elsewhere...you would never know that he is considered to bear more responsibility for the 2008 recession than any other single human being or that he was anything other than an upstanding citizen. No wonder no one trusts "official" sources of information any longer...why should they?
You can view the entire 5 part docuseries here https://www.thecon.tv/watch it will blow your mind .. Patrick Lovell, Eric Vaughan and the whole team have put together an eye opener for America.. every person needs this information. They expose the World's largest criminal conspiracy in American history.
AMAZING episode, thank you thank you thank you! Lovell and Vaughen were perfect for the moment imo.
Is Patrick just a little sweet on Krystal? Handled it like a professional, Krystal. Must say, the information they cover chills me to my bones... especially the idea that this is happening yet again. Infuriating that the banks never pay, they really deserve their own wienie roast, complete with pitchforks.
I am so sorry if I came across that way. Honestly, just blown away by her insight. She should be getting paid Maddow's $30M salary and Maddow should be retired to ....
Don't worry, I think we are all a little sweet on Krystal. Mutual respect between two adults of opposite sex is often misinterpreted - you handled yourself marvelously.
Couldn't agree more. Yes. She's beautiful. However, her instincts and understanding is next level force of nature. That's what blew my mind. I would love nothing more than to see all this stuff come to light and one day she/we eject the likes of Maddow and MSN and because the most important voice in media. Seriously, I think she's that good.
It's hard to appreciate how clear, present and sound Krystal's points are. She is never dull and she also doesn't adopt the 'others are stupid' frame that most commentators use. Her ability to empathically connect with the other side gives her voice and commentary such breadth and depth; to the likes of which I have never seen elsewhere. No disrespect to Kyle or Sagaar but Krystal is in a class of her own; truly an elite in media for her hard work. (elite like michael jordan). I am so happy to have this highlighted by some of your comments. It's easy to think that her perspective and tone is normal; she makes it seem effortless. Compared to every other political commentator I've heard, she is a class above. Enough about her - Thank you Patrick! Most of my adult life I viewed my dad's bankruptcy (in 2008/9) as irresponsible on his part. I saw the horror in his face as he sold everything but his home. He had a small business (as an owner/operator truck driver) and his income was cut by 80% almost overnight. I thought he was bad at math or simply ignorant for taking out loans he couldn't afford to pay; I thought he might be lying about not agreeing to the interest rates which were imposed on his loans (that he couldn't afford after it went from 9.8% to 22%). I can't thank you enough for bringing this all to light -- as the world continues to talk about left/right food fights and most forget how we got here.
I am so appreciative of all of your comments. Again I pray I didn't come across as hitting on Krystal. I wasn't. What you just expressed was exactly what was going through my mind. As far as you reflection of what your dad went through, that's exactly what I went through. I went from 6 figures to busted overnight and I knew it was all bullshit. I started pulling the thread and 13 years later I got all the answers I was looking for and more than I could have ever imagined.

The skill overlap between a regulator and an 'investor' is basically 100%. One you get 50-60K/y, the other you get ten times that and a corner office overlooking Manhattan. Better regulatory structure is the only thing that will stop the GFC happening again; so that means laws that mean something and institutions with the personnel, resources and teeth to enforce them.
