Larry King sits down with our Erin Ade and "Breaking the Set" host Abby Martin to discuss their work as journalists, the importance of asking the right questions, American politics, and alternative media. Check it out!
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has vowed to fight the Fed over capital requirements for the big banks. As we all know, the Fed is upping the amount of capital the biggest banks must have on their balance sheets in order to create a safety cushion for the next crash. The Fed’s tougher capital rules give the megabanks an incentive to shrink, but Dimon has no intention of doing that! Erin weighs in.
Then, Erin sits down with Raoul Pal – founder of Global Macro Investor and Real Vision TV. Raoul tells us who benefits most from the content he produces on Real Vision and gives us his take on lowflation. His macro view is that we are in a secular shift toward a lower inflation, lower growth environment. This is a driving force for portfolios and makes bonds attractive as an asset class. On the other hand, pal believes the Fed’s policy stance is at odds with other central banks and that this will create economic and market struggles.
After the break, Bianca reports on the controversy surrounding the NCAA and it’s argument against paying student-athletes…despite making millions of dollars per year off of them.
Afterwards is Defining Moments, showcasing the best comments from our guests this week including David Merkel, Eswar Prasad, Gerald Celente, Ann Pettifor, and Richard Wolff.
And in The Big Deal, Erin and Edward continue the discussion on the NCAA and March Madness.

Early warning signs suggest another currency crisis in emerging markets is on the horizon, with major EM currencies tanking on Tuesday. Mexico and South Africa’s exchange rates are now at their lowest levels, while Asian currencies at their worst point in two decades! And with the US Federal Reserve getting even closer to increasing interest rates from near-zero levels, analysts say a collapse of that kind could happen yet again. Ameera David weighs in.
Then, Erin Ade is joined by Danielle DiMartino Booth – former analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Danielle tells us what her biggest takeaway is from working with the Fed and gives us her take on what the Fed’s role was in the housing bubble and the market that followed it.
After the break, Bianca Facchinei takes a look at the decline of homeownership in the US, which has reached at 48-year low. However, the number of rental households is growing as a result.
Afterwards, Ameera and Edward Harrison talk to James Galbraith – professor of government at the University of Texas at Austin and author of "Inequality and Instability: A Study of the World Economy Just Before the Great Crisis."

Today's show is about Europe.
For years, European banks have run operations on much thinner capital requirements than their American counterparts. And with new US financial regulatory rules set to kick in soon, European banks are looking for ways to skirt the new laws. Banks are considering buying their subsidiaries' debt, selling assets or moving into offshore legal structures outside the US. Erin Ade reports.
Then, Erin talks to Mike "Mish" Shedlock about what's happening in Europe. Mish writes a widely read blog called "MISH'S Global Economic Trend Analysis" in which he looks at all the important global macro issues -- including Europe.
Afterwards, everyone is saying Europe is in a recovery. Manufacturing data has been positive. And GDP data too. Bond yields in Spain are at record lows and foreign investors are coming back in to Portugal, Spain and Greece. But is this just a base effect? Yanis Varoufakis, Professor of Political Economy at the University of Texas, Austin gives his view.
Wrapping up our European theme, in today's "Big Deal", Erin and Boom Bust producer Edward Harrison discuss the return of foreign investment to Portugal and the improvement in the housing market there. Can Portugal leave its bailout program free and clear? It is a possibility.
