7:17 am
have they dropped the ball >> yeah, this is a researches about myself and california og there's a huge network of self-generated child section abuse material they are repeatedly selling their own image and videos effectively as a commercial business that they have set up on a variety of platforms. while there are a bunch of companies involved, instagram turns out to be probably the most key one because it is the place where these buyers and sellers find each other. the buyers use hashtags that are not that hard to guess i'm not going to say any on air. but to find a couple of additional buyers and there's hundreds and hundreds of accounts that are who get who
7:18 am
introduces them to more potential sellers of this material >> how long has this been going on >> frp but it really is a huge issue there. >> how long has it been going for at least a year,after half that's about the age of most of these accounts if you it's hard to imagine these exact things have happened on instagram but these specific accounts, sometimes they got many and that's one of the interesting things we found is that this is effectively owe kaying with and if somebody gets kicked off, and

7:20 am
condition tn frp meta has really focused on a.i. and it's what we call trust and safety in the industry they really focused on how can we have on all of these languages on scale across the world and they have people just go and do the gumshe works it should be an education that if there took on the outside of the company, if we were able to do this work on an annual budget that is less than meta pays for post-. -notes, it's probably the only appropriate way forward. that's something we talk about the other thung that turns out
7:21 am
becauses the that were closing accounts if somebody reported one of these accounts were selling those materials, it would be closed automatically by a computer is he interest but really in the end they need to invest on sfrrnls. what we were looking at had about 500 sellers and tens of thousands of buyers. it not easy to tell how many buyers are across this network and a lol had at least on
7:22 am
buyer can't law enforcement actually start zapping those people and making examples of these people who are and i hope that is what happens again, not criminal wraser minds who are here that is wildly working ourselves and then instagram does a good job of recommending other people to follow to us so one of the things woo didand it was chartered by congress to handle these kind of reports. we reported in the same way the technical companies it. >> when you put out this report with the journal, i think elon musk and others on twitter, you are know, promoted it because

wires yet. do keep in mind before we get these numbers that the you're i don't zone hadding in that seems like maybe recession heir arefrom 261,000 on initial claims okay, you can hear those yields falling straight down. when is the last time we were up a the 261,000? we have to go back to okay it the p to find a higher level and on continuing claims, the exact opposite that's most likely going to slow some of the drop would o nch so definitely not above that 1.8 significant level.
7:31 am
1.757 is actually the lightest level prime going and the futures are coming back just pgs and you won in the euro zone and everybody continues ffrpgs and most likely a trillion plus of t-bills. where will it cop that could be a donor, we have two-plus trillion of the parking pshs usually when there's a one-off event we're all talking about for weeks, most of the time it falls tlap rewill be the case

7:33 am
much a pause i'll just double checked that has not changed while i'm talking here but i it and now 75/25. so a little bit of movement right there. it just updated for me and 63% probability that july hike is a little di, remember those are the prng those are the places we're looking for a trillion dollars or so and whether or not that comes down a little bit it looks like it is off in rolled we'll be watching all that stuff with the bug questionthe money m mpg. so we'll see you guys, in this this so far one of the big strengths and one of the big counterpoints to the idea of
7:34 am
this no a. >> this is a notable increase we have to watch. >> this will probably cause distress for frm so ian. this is the day, we're going to remember the 2/6 that it happened i've said that like ten other times, too but i really meant it this time. this is the day -- >> maybe sure he knows that i -- that ian knows that i follow him ap friday jobs number and husband sen and i'm very extighted it hear about this knock but he may end up having
7:35 am
been here money. >> how's that for my crow you said they should skill, take the summer off and they pront haven't fpgt snm they've only been raising rates for 15 months higher by 500 basis points they need to sit back and wait and see the impacts, it could be reversed next week or arrive would be a really cloud and clear warning tig tam ff we've inform seen the economy raise and not have a recession eventually >> you get thrown off because when you're trying to normalize
7:36 am
rates, you why for so even at 5 we're not at normalized rate but why temperature it not the absolute level it where we came from frm at the last press conference he said what height? right at 5%, rate are between 2 and 3. nobody thinks this n we know what they've done is started to break things, somebody ew failed public failed and these are companies are that are small businesses, manufacturing companies, prif emuch f and the
7:37 am
data is on goss well and they can be revived as well >> the chances that there's another -- say you're right and we take the summer off and we go up 25 in the fall again? santelli's been saying the sigh m. and then a hike in july. i can't rule it out. there's a bunch of talks on that committee who i think have something of a hair trigger. independent home and to keep going now to keep look it not just jobs. that your put, hire going to go
7:38 am
places and that your going to fly and the applauses that are aaccommodating these people have to hire people that's not ending and the counsell now, the restaurant numbers are a little bit lower than they were last time this year, airline passenger numbers are a little bit higher they're still very high. the planes are full, the restaurant are full but they're not getting more full and economic growth is all about the margin >> so given what they've already done, does it indicate we get two quarters of negative growth or do we softly come in for a beautiful three-point landing? >> that would be lovely. history tells you that's really rare so my guess is that we are going to get two negative quarters, but there's a lot of noise -- >> now >> yeah, q2 could easily be negative what really matters is what the trajectory looks like in the underlying picture through the rest of the -- i've never seen an economy that can absorb 500
7:39 am
basis points of rate hikes in 14 months and not have some suffering at the end of that process. what's happening in europe i think is a signal as well. policy has tightened there, too, but this is an economy teetering on the edge now. >> so is that a situation where this happens with or without additional rate hikes, doesn't really matter what the fed does from here? >> it matters in the sense that the more they do now will delay the start of the eventual up turn and but the bulk of the damage i think is now being done. >> but you listen to a jamie dimon or yesterday we had the former richmond fed president and they both say something like 6% makes sense to them you need to get to 6%, doesn't it make more sense to do it now while the economy is still stronger you're not going to be able do it later >> if i agreed with their starting point, but i don't
7:40 am
agree. that would be extremely tight. plus remember they're still doing their quantitative tightening and the banking system is in disarray. bank lending is falling. we have a commercial real estate train wreck that's unfolding it's going to be a gradual story that emerges over the next year or so and it's going to be a real drag on those banks and those banks are the life blood to be doing more just looks like overkill and it's reacting to the latest data without thinking about what they've already done. now, i'm kind of amazed that so many commentators are still talking now about how the latest numbers should inform what the fed dos p at the next meeting or the meeting after. it's monetary policy 101 you don't pull a lever today and see the impact tomorrow.
7:41 am
it takes 12, 18 months or even two years. i'm intent on taking a pause and see what happens >> and we see how people with opposing viewpoints are, they totally make sense i mean, andrew, that's the opposite of what we've been hearing, is it not >> sure. >> it's 180 degrees and people are pounding the table that the fed is no where near tight enough, right? >> we had roger ferguson on and he's been right. he's been right. >> he's been right about going up to where we are but not on the the 10-year. >> he's been right about exactly what the fed would do every single month for the last six months meanwhile other people have joined this table, even you have said we should stop. >> and i think we have >> and maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong but my only point
7:42 am
is -- >> i'm sure that way - >> you can be sure that way but the question is it's not about being sure one is being sure about what's right. we won't find out what right until later. what's right in the immediate term is what the fed will actually do. >> they're going to pull us next week for sure. >> you feel pretty ainge win about, you don't think it was because congress and the biden administration went nuts >> no, that was part of the story. >> and the fed stayed at zero for too long >> they did stay at zero for too long >> we can cure that with 500 basis points, all that excess? >> that's a lot. you've got to go back to the vault. the spread of opinion is wider than i've ever known i can't remember a time when
7:43 am
there were people with fashion will from just taking a pause and waiting to see if they need to do more, they can come back and do it. if it turns out they've already done enough, take the summer off, wait and see and then come back in the fall >> ian, thanks >> when we come back, what's causing the latest slow done. >> the port of l.a. executive manager will join us next. you're watching "squawk box" and this is cnbc [office sounds] ♪upbeat music♪

new in the last half hour, the faa has ordered a ground stop for flights bound for the philadelphia airport due to low visibility it's going to be lasting apparently until at least 9:15 eastern time the faa saying there is a low probability it will be extended after that that could be good news. laguardia airport still operating under a delay of just under an hour. it looks like it's cleared up a bit this morning, though if you talk to some. folks in the weather world, they'll suggest there's a possibility that things could get worse again here in new york later this afternoon in the meantime, vessels are piling up outside of the ports of los angeles and long beach in california, stemming from a
7:47 am
worker slowdown issue amid contract disputes. joining us right now is gene siroka gene, what are we seeing right now? we know there's a slowdown how severe is it >> good morning, becky thanks for having me on. last thursday talks between the dock workers, international longshore warehouse union and mariner association broke down dock workers at the rank and file level voiced their displeasure by not going down. but both sides have gotten back to the table pashl there are no ships at anchor today in los angeles we have 51 vessels coming across the pacific pointed our way and
7:48 am
to long beach, which is a little bit higher than we have normally seen cargo is not moving as quickly or shiftly as we would loo and from some of the issues happening from this, you're starting to see ripple effects that spread out from there what's the worst case scenario >> that's right. the up recycled that advisory so they're back in normal business. and it's interesting, becky, because the amount of kargo that's designate so i think we're in pretty good shape there. i the down side to thoo i don't see that happening right now as both sides of talking under the
7:49 am
construct of this bargaining of the collective agreement but i have not seen any significant moves in dwell times, how long containers are sitting, either waiting to go out by truck or rail yet there is pain being felt by the trucker. two-thirds of all of our products move in and out by truck and we've got to get that service right. >> what's the issue of the negotiating at the pieces, and i don't speak for either the employers or the dock workers, but it's wage and robotics, and we've got to work through these important issues to make sure that the dock workers who are out on the job an average of six days a week during the surge are paid what they're worth, and with technology moving more rapidly than ever before, especially in the area of robotics, that's going to keep coming, but we cannot leave the worker behind >> there has already been a letter that the national association of manufacturers has sent to the president asking him to intervene do you anticipate any action coming from the white house? >> yeah, and others have sent
7:50 am
letters in too i saw jay timmons' letter, national retail federation, matt shea, david french, and others acting labor secretary julie sue has been working with both sides individually and collectively trying to keep these talks moving julie and her staff have been working tirelessly they're not putting out press releases or coming on tv they're talking with both to keep this progress moving, and sometimes it's hit and miss. sometimes we hit some brick walls, but really from the secretary of labor's seat, this continues to be a top priority >> gene, just in terms of what to anticipate, what comes next, i mean, problems like this, even if they get resolved over a matter of weeks or months, do haven impact on where you have cargo winding up i think there's been some market losses you all have seen market share losses to other ports over the last couple of years just because of the issues that you
7:51 am
face there >> oh, you're absolutely correct, and this is not breaking news either, becky. for 20 years now, we've seen declines in west coast market share. back in 2002, 80% of the trans-pacific trade moved over west coast ports for containers. today, that's a 56% share. for a variety of reasons, and right now, about 15% of our normal lift in cargo has moved to the east and gulf coast ports, and that's because importers and exporters were very concerned about possible job action here on the docks and over 13 months of negotiations now, which is the longest i can remember, we have had about three bad days so, some have been super cautious, but realistically, the cargo keeps flowing. we've got to get these talks to a point where we can reach a tentative agreement between both sides. >> gene, thank you gene saroka. coming up, an in-depth look ps the suddenly surging small ca stay tuned you're watching "squawk box" on cnbc

it's now up 8% since the beginning of the month joining us to talk about what is going on, jo carrie hall from the abate global research. i guess the question is, what is going on >> thanks for having me. yeah, we've seen small caps underperform dramatically this year and really bounce in the last several days, whether it was following the jobs report, you know, whether it was investors on going back to that what if we have no landing, soft landing, i mean, we are still expecting a mild economic recession to start in the second half of this year and last into early next year. we turned actively cautious on small caps in march after svb and we have been kind of watching the credit backdrop and banks and earnings small caps obviously do still have that much larger weight to regional banks, where there is, you know, risk of further regulation, you know, multiple
7:56 am
overhang, but i think you want to be selective in small caps. i do think longer term, if you have a long time horizon, the valuation opportunity here is really attractive and the bounce off these lows from a positioning and sentiment perspective certainly makes sense to some extent since we've seen investors have been just huge sellers of small caps this year and the flows data. but you know -- >> jo -- >> you have a third of the index that's not earners, so we would definitely be selective within small caps at this point >> so, when you say selective, give us some ideas of how you would be selective, and i think you're saying, don't buy the index. >> i think the russell 2000, if you compare it to, in the next -- the s&p 600, the s&p 600 is going to be a much higher quality small cap index, has much fewer stocks with no earnings in it i do think that we've seen a rally within small caps this year in some of the lower quality stocks, parts of biotech
7:57 am
and areas of tech that have lagged significantly, which you do tend to see those risk rallies like this, but they are still lower quality, so we would favor some of the still higher quality parts of the index, areas that have high free cash flow we do think this is a good year for stock picking, rather than indexing our analysts at b of a cover about a thousand small and mid cap stocks, so lots of opportunities, and i would say the sector perspective, some of the cyclical areas, energy, materials, these have looked -- ranked relatively well in our work in both large and small caps we do think we're in a more sustainable capex cycle after companies hadn't been spending for a really long period of time, and you have a lot of drivers for that, reshoring, automation, esg, so some of the more old economy sectors can actually benefit, and many of the domestic small caps are beneficiaries of that. >> okay. we're going to leave it there. jill, thank you. appreciate it very much.
7:58 am
i want to bring an update right now. lot of folks looking out into the skies and breathing the air this morning, trying to understand what is happening we have also some news on flight delays all throughout the northeast. the faa adding a ground delay now at newark airport in new jersey the average delay, just over half an hour that's in addition to the ground delay that's taking place at laguardia airport, and there's another ground delay or, i should say, a ground stop in philadelphia you're looking at a live shot of new york city. you can see the empire state building, but that's about it. there, you're looking at philadelphia, i believe, the philly airport there where the ground stop is taking place. road warriors and families and others trying to make their way around the country are going to be delayed today, and they're going to have to keep an eye on flightaware.com and all sorts of other places here we are, folks wearing their masks all over again, not even inside, but you got to wear it
