The Farage clips of him giving a dressing down to the EU bureaucrats are priceless. The guy has a rhetorical gift.

So excited to see Nigel interviewed. I have followed him throughout the whole Brexit movement. Brilliant.

I generally dislike politicians, but I love this guy. Very intelligent, informative conversation.

The man without a plan.

he's a decent enough bloke. absolutely adores 'the city' and the pub culture - good lad. His brother Andy still works as a suger broker at Sucden i think! good interview anyway!

I've already commented on this below, but I'll put a shorter form piece here. Courtesy of MIFID 2, European Investors (including those in the UK) are now no longer allowed to purchase shares in US-listed ETFs or CEICs, unless the fund in question produces a useless piece of paperwork known as a KID document. You can download an example of a KID document here for the investment trust, RIT Capital: www.fundslibrary.co.uk/FundsLibrary.DataRetrieval/Documents.aspx?type=packet_fund_unit_doc_priip_kid&docid=8d67753a-2a2b-4dea-96ec-99c8ac7f86c5&user=HL-PriipKids Nigel Farage's commentary on MIFID 2 is spot-on from where I'm sitting. It's a joke!

Would be interesting to hear more on Mifid II and how it influences the industry. Something for all the future interviews. Thanks for providing todays interview.

Re: Matt B's comment below: "But moreover, RealVision should not be known as the broadcasting wing of the populist alt-right." That's your opinion pal.... not mine or many other RV subscribers. Perhaps you should go and watch the 4-part special on the CFR staring globalist Neo-Con, Dee Smith, right up your street! ;)

Nice good stuff, although, I don't agree with him that criticism of Israel is anti-semitic.

You guys really don't understand, do you? The EU was created, not to be a superstate as Farage 'saw' as he sat in a pub, but as a solution to thousands of years of continuous wars (OK, with the odd 25 year break) between European nation states. And that is what Farage campaigned against. He's not some American free market liberal, he's a throw-back to the days when people thought the cold war was good ('competition between countries') and I am surprised at Larry MacDonald treating him like a rock star or a super trader. He's also the one who complained at Obama's suggesting that leaving the EU would not give the UK a better trade deal with the US, saying that no foreigner should be allowed to influence a campaign - and who then happily campaigned for Trump. His comments on the 'common market' not being good for trade across the continent are ridiculous - I have spent 30 years broking wine around the world - between nations within the EU, trade is as simple as between two cities next to each other, giving free, easy and tariff-free access to half a billion people. From personal experience, I can say that travel, work, trade and study across the continent is as easy or even easier than it is between different states in the USA. His comments about the WTO terms offering a simple solution, with just some tariffs of lamb and whisky? The UK government calculates that in the event of a no-deal Brexit, the cost of living to the average consumer will rise by 4.5%. His comments about May's negotiating the 'deal'? He ignores the fact that the UK has a treaty obligation to keep the border in Ireland open. The only way his 'clean' Brexit would work would be for Northern Ireland to unite with the republic, breaking up the United Kingdom. That is not the 'Brexit that people voted for'. His comments about the EU elections being a 'virility competition'? Just sit back and enjoy the Russian backing for the 5 star movement in Italy and its financial backing for France's national front - and even more misinformation on social media. One of Russia's (and Trump's?) key goals is the break up of NATO and of the EU. For more on the relationship : https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/nov/25/why-wont-nigel-farage-answer-my-brexit-questions. As for Larry MacDonald's outdated comments on Europe (Kissinger? Really?), on France's demands on agriculture (actually, even the Brits don't want GMO food, chlorine-washed chicken or hormone-fed beef) or on Trump softening up Europe, trusting Farage's word? Maybe you should interview Emmanuel Macon for a real, informed view on Europe. Apologies for the anger - I'm an expat Brit, disenfranchised after 15 years living in the EU (as is the right of any EU citizen) - and the very basis of my family's future has been destroyed by Farage's deliberate lies and misinformation. Thankfully, I have just been granted French nationality and can continue my life, grateful not to be imprisoned within the Little England of Farage's dreams.

I hope this comment is still on time for people to watch. In this clip from Bloomberg an intriguing sequence of events is highlighted, linked to huge hedge-fund results as a result of it. It would be interesting to learn from Mr Farage why he made the statements on brexit evening as he did, in particular on the times he made them. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2019-03-15/how-hedge-funds-gamed-brexit-to-make-millions-video

It is a huge mistake to put this failed City broker on any kind of equal footing with Druckenmiller and all the other greats. Accepted, political risks need to be understood by investors. But in no sense should he be billed as a "Master of Finance" - when he has publicly gloated over losing money. He was a broker not any kind of trader or investor, which he glosses over with a brief mention of being a market-maker (where? when? how profitable?). But moreover, RealVision should not be known as the broadcasting wing of the populist alt-right. He shouldn't even be balanced with people of other political views. He's a financial minnow who bears no equivalence with the legends of finance seen elsewhere here. By all means laud him as a political operators - but not at all any kind of legend of finance.

Bringing these type of power players to RV is genius. I definitely want to hear their views and though process, it enriches my own views and thought process. Not every guest needs to be a trader/investor to benefit the RV subscribers. Keep em coming.

Just watching Nigel’s Brexit March on TV and online. The guy couldn’t run a bath. He’s a blowhard.

Fabulous. The EU's Mifid2 has been disastrous for the City of London. Mr Farage is the first UK politician I have heard (recently) suggest supporting innovators, entrepreneurs and small businesses people. Bring it on. As a small businesses owner I've been plagued by excessive regulations and punitive and often deceptive taxes. Many times I've wondered if I should just give up and not take on the risk and get a salary job. Many other small businesses people feel the same. They are killing the goose that lays the golden egg. Thank you.

First Bannon. Now Farage. Farage has taken tax payers money as an member of the European Parliament for the last 20 years. In that time he has claimed £2m in expenses, on top of his 64k a year salary. He is also 7th on the list of MEPs with outside earnings. He is privately educated and had a "modest" career in the city, where his father was a well known stockbroker. In short, he was a beneficiary of the cronyism he claims to hate and the political system he claims to despise. Whilst everyone is entitled to an opinion, giving this guy a platform on Real Vision, is a huge error of judgement imho. There's nothing new in his claims. Claims, that have been given plenty of airtime.

Awesome, great to see Nigel on RealVision. I cannot wait until this disasterous EU project dies so that the working people in all European countries can get back control of their countries. One major thing that wasn't discussed is what could happen in the event of a huge recession. Combine that with Cryptocurrencies where people want to take their money out of the fractional reserve system, then you have a set of consequences that are completely unpredictable right now.

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you!

I'm a big fan Nigel but sorry, you are wrong to link anti-zionism with anti-semitism. Anyone that wants to Youtube the barbaric treatment of the Palestinian people by the Israeli government is free to do so.

Excellent interview with some valuable insights.

Thank you to RV for giving people with highly contentious opinions a relaxed atmosphere to be interviewed without talking over them or trying to put words in their mouths. It’s great to hear the whole complete version of their stories.

This invitation was a mistake. Please, do not change your vision and lose focus!

Good idea to bring political opinions on RV, given increasing importance of politics. Would’ve have been better to have a host that is more knowledgeable about the European realities and therefore have more of a debate rather than just being a Farage mouthpiece.

Always good to hear views thoughts and opinions, even we we may choose to disagree it’s the dialogue that matters most. Interesting interview.

McdDonald Rockin' the Blue Suede Ferragamo's ???

A version and point of view from Daniel Cohn Bendit will be really nice!

You're allowed to criticise any government in the world, but if you cristise Israel you're antisemitic.

I’m not a fan of Mr Farage but appreciate being able to listen to his views and opinions without the UK papers or media in the middle.

Does Farage explain his visit(s) to Julian Assange, proven conduit for Russian meddling in America's affairs? If Farage is another useful idiot for Putin, that would explain his hostility towards European institutions. Kyle Bass interviews Steve Bannon and now this. Why doesn't RV just drive up to the asylum and interview any old crazy?

Mr McDonald seems to be what some call "ball boy", brings the balls for the player to smash them in the opponent target court. no info, no professional inquiry, not touching any sensitive topics haging around this guy (russian connections, cambrdige analytica, illegal funding of the Leave campaign, shamelessly sucking EU funds, sooo many...) I watched the interview half way and it was full of platitudes, half and factual truths. Sad to see this kind of jokers in charge of peoples future

Dated interview. Too bad we can't ask him what happens now that May's ridiculous deal has been crushed. Westminster has wasted two years determinedly doing everything in its power to thwart the Brexit vote and voters are absolutely furious. So many MPs representing Leave districts and yet doing everything they can to impose Remain on the people who pay their salaries. If Westminster tries to steal that Brexit vote, there will be hell to pay, and Farage is the man of the hour.

Excellent interview. Its great to get an in depth update from the front lines by Mr, Farage. The edited snippets we hear on the news make forming one's own thesis very difficult. I am looking forward to more on the Larry McDonald channel. I'll also give a quick plug to his Bear Traps Report. Its a great read and gives a view from the inside on many issues.

Great to see RV getting Nigel on for a interview. Nigel is one of the very few politicians in the UK that I have any respect for. If you want to see Nigel rip into Merkel's naive immigration policy then this is a great one to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgQva2Qh3DQ

Amazing to be able to hear this point of view. Larry was a great interviewer.

Thought this was excellent. Thanks guys.

so he's not as rebellious and independent as I thought... Quite attuned to the needs of business and probably well supported. A bit of a let down...

Love him or hate him. He is the one that started the movement. You are not sick of seeing establishment of any country around the world not being accountable for the actions they take, only if you are a part of it.

The elephant in the room for me is the worldwide massive government, corporate and personal debt burden. A second elephant in the room for me is dysfunctional governments – big, medium and small. Brexit, the Euro, inflation, deflation, immigration are important, but pale by the size of the debt problem. Everyone is searching for a safe harbor – gold, Bitcoin, land, real estate, oil, FX diversification. More people should have a plot of land and learn to garden. Any other suggestions? DLS

This is a really good interview

If Hillary had won ... America becoming part of a European single market... Sounds tin foil hat. But totally believable in same time.

I only knew Farage from some of the online video clips that are mostly out of context, so this long form interview is interesting.

Maybe stay away from politicians; especially the ones that live from it.

Great interview! It is good to ear different opinions. How about someone pro Europe. My suggestion Erik Nielsen from Unicredit. That will give a different view on Europe.

It's incredible these socialist how they claim not to give space to express their ideas to people who think diferent, I love Nigel Farage and I hate those who say "ah I dont like this guy, censor him", such a ideological supremacy is low morality

Great video!

It's easier to break than to build. The EU has many flaws, but has a lot of benefits too. It's easy to forget that two world wars started in Europe, killing millions, and now a war between European countries is almost unthinkable (that may change again in the future with the influence of people like him). It's easy to forget that by many accounts (I wasn't born then), the UK in the 70s, before becoming a member of the EU, was slipping towards third world irrelevance. It's easy to claim to know what Brexit "the people" voted for... Seems to me that the Brexit HF managers in the City and cab drivers voted for is not the same. Etc. It's good to have Nigel Farage on RV, he deserves free speech like everyone else and he represents a part of the electorate, so it's interesting, but to me it was just a confirmation of his vanity and vacuity. Not one original or thought-provoking thought in 48mn. Old man yells at clouds.

I've been a happy RV subscriber from the beginning, all of you who disagree with RV offering Nigel Farage a platform to air his views are missing the point. This place is supposed to be thought provoking and that means also listening to view points you may oppose or even downright detest. If you don't want the full spectrum of opinion try CNN or the BBC. Keep doing what you're doing RV.

The Rupert Murdoch owned Daily Mirror has talked about the below: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/nigel-farage-applying-german-citizenship-8643832. I don't know what to think of it. If i was him i would go to Singapore instead, like Dyson :)

Great interview! Thanks guys!

Real Vision is getting the best of the best! Bravo again!

Excellent!

Feel sorry for the hedge funds that take advice from this guy

Where's Gerard Batten?

Great insight in to Europe...and the EU.

factcheck ( clearly he got a few trick from his pal donny) banks def. have plenty to loose from brexit considering roughly 25% of all uk exports are financial services to the EU. The City of london which is predominantly foreigners is of course against it. take a walk in high park and tell me if you dont hear more french than english. A good example of where London stands was the disparity between polls and the actual brexit vote which overstated remainers due to big percentage of the data coming from london. Regarding mifid and basel is a trade off you is like making your car faster by taking off the airbags and protective chasis. sure it becomes more competitive but at what price?

Nigel Farage. Really. Thought that's what Fox News is for.

Nigel Farage is an absolute British Saint! Thanks to him, we might just, despite the best attempts of the incompetent Conservative government manage, to escape the New World Order elite's planned political harmonisation of Europe, which the huge majority do not want, and have never wanted. As Nigel says, the British bought into the Common Market for trading reasons, and then we all went to sleep over the next few decades while the unelected bureaucrats, whom are paid extortionate salaries and expenses in Brussels, plotted to steal our liberty, legal rights, control of our borders, etc. Thanks to Nigel ringing the alarm bells, we woke up just in time, and are in the process of telling Brussels where to go. Of course Brussels knows that if we manage to escape and prove we will be better off economically without the EU, their game is over, and the bookies and market speculators will be offering short odds on whether it will be Italy or France that follows us next! Well done to Larry and Real Vision for asking Nigel to tell us the actual facts, and not Brussels' fake version!

Nigel Farage the real warrior of freedom

Brexit will work well for the UK especially if the EU ends up breaking apart. The EU should never have happened in its current form. The problem of creating centers of power representation is that they become alive and self-purposeful, and living organisms want to grow ! I was so happy with the European Community and then came the Maastricht undercover monstrosity which essentially was a coup d'état against unwilling populations. Great to have Farage here in RV, was great to have Bannon and I hope RV manages to get other interesting interviews from other fresh, unconventional and commonsensical leaders.

His views were prescient decades ago and that's what Real VIsion is about. It's about giving those people, who can put the jigsaw pieces in the right order, a platform to share their thoughts. For those diparaging of him below who are no doubt sat comfotably behind their keyboards, ask yourselves this: would you risk 3 decades of your life, health and family for a cause you believed in?

Nigel is truly the best. Wish he had a place in the US govt! Great interview thank you.

Criticism of Israel is not anti-semitic Farage.

The guy is brilliant. Great interview Larry.

Thanks Nigel. Keep doing the great work. This intrinsically olichargic/dictatorial EU needs to be stopped.

Typical politician, talks a lot but doesn't say much

Nigel you LEGEND !!

Hope RV will have him back over the course of the next 8 months, perhaps to do color commentary of the events in Europe.

A pleasurable conversation and I would encourage everyone to go beyond any convictions and watch the interview in full, not just 5 or 10 minutes.

This is one of the least expected people I would see here... but not in a bad way.

Great to finally see Nigel on RV..
