Very interesting conversation, but the poor audio quality made it hard to follow.

Crap quality

I am missing big chunks of the conversation.. it is very interesting stuff but I struggle to follow due to poor quality..

Had to stop watching due to illegible audio. Interview should have been stopped and recorded by phone. Would rather have no video than no conversation.

Such shitty quality...what's the point of the interview if it's going to be this bad!

horrible quality connection with the lady. terrible

Record it with a camera first than edit and cut it together.

When filmed?

I know under normal conditions I wouldn't recommend but in this case, the transcript offers very good support for the borderline audio. My team is already looking into getting around those issues in the future.

Gotta call in with a phone to solve the audio issue, doesn't matter if the video lags if the audio is good.

Really hard to listen! Drop the video and go with a picture and high quality audio. We really don't have to see people if it sacrifices the audio so much!

CBDCs may be digital, but we already have digital dollars. To call them "blockchain" or to suggest they're similar to actual decentralized crypto projects (e.g. Factom / Pegnet) is misleading. They're centralized—i.e. categorically separate.

"Just send them cash! … Because consumer demand drives the economy." This is why we're in such a mess. Our system is fragile because of these fallacious ideas.

the audio was bearable... she was a strong, level-headed, openminded thinker...yet another good one.... and i leave with the thought.... it's all about the blockchain.... I didn't get bitcoin until very recently.... which is the blockchain... which is an actual revolution against hierarchical centralization, very much in line with ferguson's book, about how networks ( the square) are about to take down hierarchy ( the tower)...

Can't understand every other word; why post such a poor quality video?

"...and it will be lasting change if people realize that taking a walk or whatever is just as fun as flying to Atlantic City and gambling or whatever." I'm not even sure how to comment on this...

Bailouts for corporations create incentives for irresponsible and incompetent executives

"We're ending up with the distasteful task of bailing out the institutions that have brought us the crisis." Exactly. Should NOT be bailing out stuff to the tune of $6-trillion, especially those terribly run organizations headed by greedy execs who've made off like vault thieves by rewarding themselves 8-9 figures each by engaging in massive financial engineering - stock buybacks financed by cheap debt facilitated by the inept Fed. The CoV flu bug was merely a calalyst to this bigger systemic problem which could have been triggered by any number of other things, like a spark to kindling. The policy response, whilst preventing a bigger short-term meltdown, has nevertheless exacerbated the systemic problem, especially in US. It appears that they've suddenly now checked all the boxes of Dr Lacy Hunt's nightmare scenario; can hardly wait to hear what he says next.

No hard questions about FDICs latest video, telling us about how safe the banks are, followed days after with the first bank in America to declare insolvency .... ?

Important interview but hard to listen to because of bad connection. . Please redo interview with better sound.

I was never impressed with Bair before and still not impressed now with poor tech of this interview.

For all the audio discussion. Don't forget there is a Transcript document available. Just in case people still read nowadays.

The dislike was not for the audio, it's for the "I think the fed needs to do this."

Yeah and look at the SB loans under 350K are 5%....Banks make money again.

The technical problems really took away from the interview. Hard to follow.

Please try another video solution - could not follow her duscussion at all

In the description for these videos, can you please add in the date the interview was conducted so we have context on the timing? These lose a lot of value without knowing the interview date in this fast moving environment.

I didn't think that the audio was as big of a deal as comments like "Thanks to Andrew Yang for putting this more [UBI] on the national agenda." We are entering waters everyone thought were "conspiratorial" people ... and fast.

Why no hard questions about digital dollar and its potential Orwellian impact? These were all softball questions that weren't very insightful.

Painful to watch and poor transcript. Real shame, interesting topic but poor tech execution. I had to stop watching after 6min. :(

Interesting to hear her perspective vis a vis 2008 but nothing really new here. It was painful to listen to because streaming issues. Had the same sound problem with the China expert.

Orwellian interview!! Free crypto money for every one (so we can trace you). I can't believe what I heard. I know you have to give voice to different point of view.... so don't delete my comment this time Milton ;-) Want a reality check?? https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/politics/unprecedented-power-grab/

Taking a walk is just as fun as flying to Atlantic City?

This interview does not come up on my home page anymore. Is it only me?

Impossible to listen.

Horrible audio quality.

The sound on this video is so bad, it's near impossible to listen.

Stop the "stimulus". Let prices be discovered for goodness sake. There is always a buyer. How many times do we have to go through these crises?

Sorry Milton, have to agree with the other comments referencing the sound quality.

I get it we’re in quarantine, but the sound quality made it un-understandable.

audio quality is too bad

Another aside. I am trying to figure out what will happen to gold in the short and medium run coupled with my expectation of a continued bear market. The price of gold can go up or down depending on margin calls and US dollar demand from overseas for a myriad of reason. Outside of FX markets, there are many commodities that are bought and sold daily in many currencies all over the world. With Euros I could buy Bitcoin, gold, or copper. I could then sell the Bitcoins, gold, or copper for USD – maybe in the US. I could then pay the interest and/or principle on my emerging market US dollar loans. This would certainly seem to work on an individual basis. I do not know if it would work on a large scale. In addition, many CBs have gold reserves. CBs or countries could sell gold reserves on the open market -always a risk in recessions/depression - or to the Fed for USD. Venezuela sold a lot of gold to Saudi Arabia. Since I do not deal in international markets, I am probably missing something obvious here. IMO in the long run gold will be worth more. The problem for hyper people like me is the volatility of gold in the short and medium run. I guess I will just have to play around a base position from day to day. Any ideas?? Thanks for listening to me ramble. DLS

Unfortunately, Sheila's audio was too hard for me to make out most of the time

Banks are not the problems it is the "hedge fund shadow banking system" that was bailed out this time by the Fed. The major banks would be in the same position if they banking laws had not been changed. DLS

An aside. Quote from Dr. Roubini ".. privatize the gains and socialize the losses.." pretty much says it all. DLS
