The massive Chinese real estate company Evergrande is unable to pay its debts. This has sparked some rare protests in China and is spooking international financial markets. A key question now is whether or not the government of China will let Evergrande collapse -- and whether or not the collapse of this real estate giant will have knock on effects throughout the region and the world? Richard Vague is Secretary of Banking and Securities for Pennsylvania and an author who has written extensively about global financial crises. He explains how debt has fueled economic growth in China and discusses the potential international implications of Evergrande's insolvency. We kick off discussing how Evergrande got buried in such deep debt and what that says about the role of debt in fueling China's massive economic growth over the past decade. He then explains some policy options available to the Chinese government and some of the potential international implications of Evergrande's insolvency. Richard Vague's article in Democracy    

TOPICS: Segment #1: "Raiders Beat Chargers 27-17" The Raiders played the Chargers in the latest game ever started on a Sunday night, due to having to convert the Coliseum over from baseball the night before. Raider Greg paints you the picture of what it was like on this night when the Raiders played as if they were "possessed", and took advantage of every break they got. A 100 percent effort in all phases of the game. The momentum shifted in the second half to make things a little nervous for Raider Nation, but the Raiders defense stepped up when they needed to. Segment #2: "Was Matt Flynn A Sin? Raiders cut QB Matt Flynn" Matt Flynn was cut by the Raiders after game five of the 2013 season, when he was signed in the early off-season with expectations that he would be our starter.

TOPICS: Segment #1: "Raiders CEO Amy Trask Resigns After 25 Years" As we left Raiders rookie mini-camp last Saturday, we saw Amy Trask walking out of the front door of Raiders headquarters to her car. We called out, "hi Amy!" and waved. She waved back. Little did we know that it may have been her last time leaving that building. We heard on the radio about 3 minutes later that she had just resigned. Knowing all the Amy had done for the Raiders organization and how much she had meant to us personally, we were shocked. Raider Greg will tell you the rest of the story. Segment #2: "Oakland Raiders Rookie Mini-Camp 2013" We were privileged to be on hand at Raiders headquarters Saturday to watch practice, sit in on Coach Allen's press conference, then join the interview session with the Raiders draftees. Raider Greg threw in a few questions for them. You can see the video we took of the occasion on YouTube and on our website: www.raidernationpodcast.com Segment #3: "The Raiders pick up a few more free agents"" Since rookie mini-camp ended, the Raiders have signed a few more free agents. Raider Greg goes over the list. Segment #4: "Our Toll-Free Boneline Voicemail Segment" We have been having trouble with our 800-number voicemail service.

TOPICS: Segment #1: "King Goodell?" It was recently reported that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made $29.5 Million in 2011. Raider Greg gives his opinion on this story. Segment #2: "New Raiders Coaching Staff Meets The Media" The new Raiders assistant coaches met with the media at Raiders headquarters recently. There are videos of the meetings on Raiders.com and we added some of the audio to this show. Questions and answers with new Raiders Offensive Coordinator Greg Olson, O-Line Coach Tony Sparano, Special Teams Coach Bobby April, and Linebackers Coach Bob Sanders. Raider Greg watched the videos and gives you his impression of the new coaches and what they said. Segment #3: "Mt. Davis will be tarped over for the 2013 season" In a new approach to selling out the Oakland Coliseum for every game to avoid television blackouts, the Raiders will tarp over the upper deck of Mt. Davis this season. This will reduce the capacity of the Coliseum to 53,250 (down from 64,200). People with season tickets in that upper section will be relocated to the 3rd deck of the "old" section of the Coliseum. Since those Mt. Davis ticket holders were paying $25 per game, all other seats in the 3rd deck will be reduced in price down to $25 per game. Raider Greg is happy. His 3rd deck 50 yd. line seat will drop from his original $82 per game price down to $25 per game. The other sections of the Coliseum will see a $1 per game reduction in price.
