10:18 pm
a tech analyst from wed bush securities should have on. let's start with you. set the scene for us. how did the hearing today go for mr. chu? well, to be frank, i don't know anybody who wanted to be in the shoes of mister shoe. i for sure, wasn't willing to do this. why? because it was really aggressive. it was a proverbial blood bath almost. um i, i think he didn't even stand a chance and why? because there were some really unified democrats, as well as republicans in this committee. a drive to really almost put this into absurdity at some point. it didn't really matter what the tick tock c. o said at the end, it was all about proving that there is no independence of tick tock at no guarantee it will ever be totally independent from the chinese parent company by dance. and that is a concern for a lot of lawmakers. of course, there's
10:19 pm
a ton of other issues which they could have asked any other tech company, instagram, twitter, or facebook slash matter is cetera. but it is all and was all about that. and they were aggressive and they didn't that go in at the, at the end, it seemed like really it doesn't really matter. and it didn't matter was that that tick tock, c o said it was a done deal. they don't trust a tick tock and they kind of wandered bent. and then you've described his testimony as a disaster. how serious is this for take talk. so i think there's a disaster and it sets the scene where a tick tock likely is going to get back in the us and you're forced to be sold or spun off. i think there were just no concrete answers on the data around china. and i think he walked tight room and this is ultimately something where i being now in the clock struck midnight from tick tock. 7 in the u. s. current form and then how
10:20 pm
justified are the concerns of the committee? i think clearly there's no us china, cold tech we're going on. they become the person child. but there are legitimate concerns around the data, the access to be don't know where it all to my plea is and i think you know, you come out of this, i think ultimately more questions and answers in terms of weeks from the china, beijing data there component ok, but then pick talks, pledge to separate us citizens data, saying all of the servers would be based in the us and overseen by a 3rd party. in this case, the computing from oracle. don't you think that would be enough to lay the concerns of lawmakers, book 50 it says study back for years. right. and i think that's really the next step in terms the ruling from there about how secure that would be or call one of the best brand stalwarts within the us. so that's clearly,
10:21 pm
that was their sort of way to sort of rectify the situation. but he was like, the way this is playing out that that's probably not going to awesomely alive those theory next. the issues here. so you mentioned serious the committee on foreign investment in the united states that interviewed or, or heard the testimony from mr to just now stephan. i'd like to go back to you the final word. what happens next in this case? well, there will be more questions from the committee members or forwards via email or in any other means to the tick tock, seo. and he has a, a tight time frame to answer those. and then there will be at some point, maybe another hearing or if the committee decides they heard enough a recommendation to put a put to possible banner to vote on the, on the floor to the house house of representatives or keep in mind. and this is what everybody needs to keep in mind. those committee hearings are serving
10:22 pm
a political purpose for the committee members who are playing of course, and use this as a platform to play, to their own constituencies and to rally their troops. but keep, also in mind, and that's the bigger picture. this all matters also for 2020 for the presidential elections because national security, china is an adverse or adversary to the united states. as the other guy said, tech cold tech course between u. s. and, and china, these are top topics in the presidential election, 2024. so they have it. that is also why president biden in the white house and by new administration says we sell it or you get bent and uncertain future for take talking today. certainly didn't help stephanie daemons in washington and dan ais, in sunny california. thank you very much. staying in the us. ford says it's electric vehicle division has lost $3000000000.00 over the past 2 years. and it says it expects to lose another $3000000000.00. this
10:23 pm
year with more to come after that it's as the losses stem from necessary investments as it brings production facilities online in the us, telling investors to see the car maker like a startup. and teddy austro is in new york with more on this forest teddy. how does ford explain this massive loss? well, you're right daniel. this is a massive loss in the v department of the company, bigger than the last 2 years of losses combined. certainly sent the stock down about 2 percent. that ford is trying to make the case that this is the cost of doing business. after all, ford is one of several automakers that are vying for a top spot in the green energy transition. they would like to be selling only 0 emissions cars by 2040. now they're doing this through investment investment, big $50000000000.00 through the end of 2026. now this is in developing new models. this is and building factories that actually build these cars as well as the
10:24 pm
electric batteries that fuel them. now it's important to know that ford actually isn't losing money. this is the, this has to do with their e v department. they are expecting to do better than last year just among their combustion engine vehicles. so they're doing fine overall. but what's the plan to start turning around is e v manufacturing business? well, let's remember, the tesla actually lost money for the 1st decade of its existence and now is the top e v. manufacturer. ford is number 2 and has a long way to go. they are trying to jumpstart it through these investments of this start up like department. it's actually a part of a larger shake up at the company. they're trying to fund these investments through their combustion engine, vehicle sales, but of course they have stiff competition. us automakers, foreign automakers, and of course capital and
10:25 pm
a big hurdle will be the cost of batteries which are sky high. they will hope that to see them decrease, but they're quite optimistic for to saying that they will be manufacturing $2000000.00 automobiles, electric vehicles per year by the end of 2026. and they're hoping for pretty hefty profit margins will test. are always argue that it was more of a tech serve and now use for is doing the same teddy australia on the new york stock exchange. thank you. illegal gold mining has long been a problem. in brazil, a new government agency is now fighting back and reports that it's making good progress. but for many indigenous communities in particular, it's a stubborn scourge and they're worried that the damage has already been done. brazil's federal police are calling it a new era in the battle against environmental crime and in defense of indigenous people in the rain forest. the newly created environment and amazon department of
