detroit has become the largest US city
ever to declare bankruptcy that happen
[4]
just recently they're attempting to walk
back
[6]
or walk away from eighteen billion
dollars in money that they currently 0
[10]
out some other legitimately some love
the money that the O is I believe
[13]
illegitimate I'm but yes so that they
did that just today it was actually kind
[16]
of interesting the way that they did
somebody was stepping in to try to stop
[19]
them from declaring bankruptcy
[21]
because of worries about what it could
do to the city's pension funds
[24]
on and the they pulled this legal trick
where they said they wanted to take a
[28]
five-minute delay
[29]
and during that five minute delay they
went to a different core
[33]
and declare bankruptcy so I don't know
if I really like the way that they did
[36]
it
[36]
but its interesting if nothing else we
have some details for what's currently
[40]
going on in Detroit but
[41]
very large city obviously pretty tragic
that they it's come to this but what do
[45]
you think
[45]
so a we did agree documentary on to your
team is he's the first one we ever did
[50]
for the Young Turks is called who took
down
[53]
a Stockton side so stock and went into
bankruptcy was the largest bankruptcy
[57]
before Detroit so
[58]
until yesterday London California
Stockton Calif was the largest city in
[62]
the country
[63]
who I declare bankruptcy when you look
at it it's very similar to Detroit its
[67]
complicated factors
[68]
their is over spending by the government
for example Stockton they built this
[71]
huge stadium they didn't need their own
[73]
you know teams in Stockton klaas will
become support question the class a
[77]
California League
[78]
stockton ports right so any idea why
it's a vanity project to them
[83]
in the mayor at the time gets a ride
wrote that right is my policy have right
[87]
and and then there's the passions and it
for a while Stockton
[91]
was paying a little more than average in
California now they pay a lot less
[94]
rate so but it's that's not overwhelming
and then there's a third element
[98]
which is the bank's they come in and he
got all mad when the stadium be awesome
[102]
are many would look great here if you
buy our bond
[106]
you'll be so affordable right so one day
you
[109]
like the just sheppard you exist how
they make money off it right
[112]
and the number two there comes that
little tricks like oh yeah I mean don't
[116]
worry about that fee that'll only happen
if this happens is very likely but
[119]
anyway
[120]
that might not happen for a year and a
half when you will be in office anymore
[123]
and the low double up in Detroit's case
[125]
they had have a billion dollars in
[128]
just PD's yeah when I talk about
interest rate we're not talking about
[132]
things you get for a loan legitimate in
fees
[134]
a billion dollars that the banks were
helping to manipulate to make sure that
[138]
they would have to pay that it's not
just malfeasance on the port on the park
[142]
Detroit I
[143]
reason you'd be clear absolutely so
their mayor was Mets everybody knows
[147]
that and you know you wanna
[148]
gonna prison and so at the same time
when you go to bankruptcy they're gonna
[153]
have to judge who gets group
[154]
okay because the city can't afford to
pay all their bills
[158]
so now some other bills for to the
bankers who the more money from
[161]
now looking to borrow money from
somebody should pay him back night
[164]
all things being equal so now some other
bills
[167]
or to the people who work to the city
for decades our whole lives
[171]
they now have a passion with their
conference take the city which unlock
[175]
you in you know the day endorses are now
cut to 11
[178]
third I me when you get a percentage
streetlights
[181]
yes it was a street lights are working
thats unbelievable
[185]
Italy at night in the dark detroit is
America's safest city
[189]
CNN industry I you don't need a manual
is not a good idea
[194]
in essence thorough stuff that I i mean
that is scary stuff right
[197]
so um so in any got the pensions
[201]
you gotta get the street lights working
so you gotta figure out a way to get all
[204]
this money to work
[205]
so that's gonna put the bankers against
a guy so the pensions because the
[208]
magazine's alums into my money fun
roughly equal in power and political oh
[212]
yeah I would like to the president's
right
[214]
prejudicing the sewage you made a
promise to me I worked my whole life
[219]
I if I'm a cop a firefighter and even my
late for thirty forty fifty years
[224]
to get his pension and not only to pull
away from me now
[228]
I think the most compelling argument
whether you have mail pieces by the
[231]
banks are not
[232]
is as an investor and I'm an investor in
the past you know that with
[236]
every investment you take a certain
degree rests you know promised anything
[240]
you promised a return if things work out
[243]
yeah but every single investor knows
that they might not work out
[248]
and everything has different varying
degrees arrest summer very risky summer
[251]
very
[252]
unraced you see you took distress and
apparently didn't work out
[256]
if I was the person in charge is
bankruptcy out six to all investors
[260]
if even if I was on the investors it
might be other pension funds that
[263]
invested
[264]
in Detroit because of all the different
things that go around the financial
[267]
world
[268]
so I'm not saying I I hate people who
invested in Detroit I'm gonna come
[271]
muscles they have to say if I was a guy
church is safe well you obviously have
[275]
taken
[275]
big big hit here because your investment
didn't work out
[279]
and that's how investments Co but to
turn around to the guy who work for
[283]
thirty forty fifty years
[284]
and say quote we lie to you and so I
guess that didn't work out for you
[288]
yes is a different ball game now if you
wanna say hey patients going forward
[292]
payment week which take it then does
that work precious gotta go down
[297]
that's a different question totally the
by the way the guys making these
[300]
decisions then Kevin
[301]
or styles they will why in Cavite so are
you don't trust
[305]
but good news is the city's emergency
manager
[309]
on elect aged it is you know there's no
more powerful mayor
[313]
in the country then Kevin or the said
that %uh the
[317]
the bankruptcy manager here the
emergency manager in Detroit
[321]
the that you mention the trek I don't
think we
[325]
weld on it quite enough because what the
[328]
the lawyers for the pensioners had a
agreement with the judge judge was
[332]
clearly going to grant them
[334]
a temporary stay against the bankruptcy
filing to protect the 30,000 pensioners
[339]
up the city of Detroit and then the
lawyers for the city
[343]
looking to get the bankruptcy filing
said before that court
[346]
I'll just give us five minute recess to
get our papers in order
[350]
went to another court yeah and file that
and that judge like I was gonna grayer
[354]
injunction but they filed with another
court
[356]
you know there's no sir that's a that's
a suggestion that when it comes time to
[360]
make a decision
[361]
between the banks where the pensioners
which way it's going to go
[365]
yet he's gonna screw the passion she
just screwed by just cuz
[368]
lied to them I mean how much can you
trust the guy who said I don't worry
[372]
okay I just
[373]
just me if I'm ever gonna go take a leak
right things I
[377]
I followed another court I totally
screwed you over
[380]
I totally like you and that guys in
charge they call that was the white
[383]
those that try those that that was the
way for the governor who did that rick
[386]
Snyder right now the governor who's that
[388]
every point it having your right and it
when they call this financial
[392]
martial law like the city these
[396]
managers that the governor points he has
absolute power
[399]
now if you get into bankruptcy though
that the judge will have some power how
[402]
things are divided it said
[404]
right but for the moment a financial
managers ago making all the decisions
[408]
so that will then if you get it you get
it later but and by obviously but you're
[412]
not sure you can trust you in or all
[414]
ever by the way with these the lease
financial managers that have of
[417]
unlimited power to do whatever they want
most powerful mariner
[420]
country the good thing is that the
history of these managers as they always
[423]
fix the problem yeah
