i'm lindsey francis broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. tonight we're going to break down the group of twenty summit in hamburg germany for you we take it down to the basics and then we go big policy to belittle us also we've got an arms deal on our hands between taiwan and the united states china is not happy that things unravel at the g. twenty going to explore that and jobs numbers are and i'm joined by former u.s. trading commissioner bart chilton to discuss the implications and other things to stand by room by starts right now.

european commission president john cotton younker says the e.u. will not put up with new american tariffs on its steel but the g twenty summit on friday he said one is hearing that some people are thinking about protectionism when it comes to steel imports this type of protectionism happens in the near future it is necessary for the e.u. to react adequately the commerce department is investigating whether reliance on foreign steel impedes america's ability to defend itself and to respond quickly to national emergencies the investigation is allowed under section two thirty two of the trade expansion act of one nine hundred sixty two an example of the white house's reasoning one type of american tank requires more than fifteen tons of steel depending on foreign steel means a u.s. tank depends on that import opponents of the move hold that it is protectionism one

o one and threatens free trade. also president donald trump doesn't appear to be facing a solid one against nineteen on the subject of its stance the white house's stance on the paris climate deal at the g. twenty summit as countries such as saudi arabia russia turkey and indonesia send mixed signals over their support of the accord german chancellor angela merkel has softened her tune a bit at the meeting and hamburg what was at first a denouncing of the u.s. stance on the climate agreement when it pulled out of the accord weeks ago has now turned into urging a quote overwhelming majority to embrace the paris agreement the u.s. says it is ready to compromise while it rejects the paris deal promising to tackle climate change on its own. the g. twenty summit happens every year and a meeting of the world's most powerful economies and players ensues simone del

rosario is joining me now is to explain who takes part and what the gathering is meant to accomplish. lindsey here's a good picture of it we have all of the flags of all of the twenty member state of the group of twenty from the united states to china russia the european union saudi arabia it's a huge group of players that all have different strengths and global interests but they meet every year to exchange ideas on how to attack some of the world's most pressing problems now we can take a look at the players right here on this map is you can see we have the twenty permanent members here in green and they span across the globe and then the presidency can invite other regional representation so this year at the invitation of hosting german chancellor angela merkel that includes norway netherlands singapore vietnam senegal and guinea now let's take away the guests and look at the core twenty that we have right here where two thirds of the world's population lives these countries have some of the strongest economies in the world in fact

this group of twenty makes up eighty percent of the global economic output in terms of purchasing power the largest economies in the world are china the u.s. india japan and germany in that order and all of those are g twenty members g twenty members also account for seventy five percent of all global trade the four largest exporting countries being china the u.s. germany and japan now getting an even bigger picture of the twenty countries with the largest volume of exports worldwide fifteen of them are members of the g twenty why is that important well the whole point of the g twenty is to bring together the most powerful emerging economies to promote international financial stability it was first founded in one thousand nine hundred nine and included nations finance ministers and central bank governors then the two thousand and eight financial crisis happened and that up to the stakes when the crash affected nearly every major economy in the world the g twenty evolved to include heads of state and government which is how it operates today the first meeting of this kale in two

thousand and eight was in two thousand and eight in washington d.c. and it set the stage for the most. magic global finance reform in decades of course the summit still includes major international financial institutions like the international monetary fund the world bank the world trade organization and a lot of other players lindsey as you mentioned all of these players have a separate stake huge amount of power here what are they actually focusing on at this meeting we see so many sort of side stories what's the aim and what do they need to actually be talking about at these places as you heard i mean the primary purpose of this of course was to focus on global economic issues certainly that was a huge issue when all the heads of state came together after the financial crash they were trying to strengthen the global resilience but the issues have brought into now we have the hosting country germany so we have chancellor angela merkel who wants to focus on climate change free trade and migration which are three issues that very much put her at odds with united states president donald trump

she's not the only one though there was a moment between trump and mexican president in the greek opinion yet though remember they haven't met face to face since he's been in office because they canceled that meeting they were supposed to have in person over a dispute over who was going to pay for trump's proposed border wall there was this awkward moment where they were talking together and a reporter shouted out asking if he still wanted mexico to pay for the wall and you can see trump turned to his own people and say absolutely not sure if the mexican delegation actually heard that or not but they had agreed not to talk about the border wall at all during this meeting you had only set up the side of his mouth to hold down his reputation real quick here protesters we see the same thing over and over and over people hitting the streets trying to get their point across it actually happened in fact on what's going on behind those closed doors to the leaders have a stake in this the leaders i don't think would really care about what's happening outside of their meetings what they're trying to do these protesters is just

disrupt things so if they can disrupt anybody from being able to get to a meeting like maloney and trying to not end a spouse event. so that's what they're really trying to do is send a message that these twenty leaders said it make decisions for the entire world thank you so much artist's amount adversarial. my guess is that the g. twenty remains a huge hairy deal and nations involved represent eighty five percent of the global world production as we heard earlier eighty percent of global trade and two thirds of the world's population he says the president may use a three pronged approach to the meetings he's got ideas of how those problems should be tackled please welcome former u.s. attorney mr park shelton bart you penned an opinion editorial for fox business news which is out today important points here and you wrote that the president gave a good speech in poland yesterday what were the highlights because that really

kicked off a lot of what's going to happen well the main thing was that he formally supported article five of the nato treaty which was it was a big deal you remember he didn't do that at the nato meeting in. instead he chided the leaders for not paying up enough but that was the first thing and then he did he was pretty tough on rupture actually and talked about destabilizing efforts in ukraine so those are two things that were in question whether or not he was going to do it and i do give him kudos i mean it really was a good speech i read through it and i saw the delivery and you know he was very presidential back in. february when he gave his semi state of the union he was very presidential race saudi arabia and israel and then things sort of broke down and that was a good time for him to get out of town the right to get out of dodge you just fire james comey the f.b.i. director and the investigation and electric temper is going strong so. when he's on

message he's pretty good but as we know he's not always on message and so. it remains to be seen at the g. twenty meeting whether or not is the off the cuff unpredictable president we know or whether or not he's going to be more scripted just look at the ratio they're pretty simple math sometimes going into situations not knowing what to thank you give kudos to president transfer what he said in poland he wrote in this this op ed that. you're hopeful but you're particularly you're not optimistic about his doing much at this three day meeting why is that well i mean you know it's really not in his sweet spot the agenda items that they're going to talk about climate change he's the only one of the leaders of the g twenty who doesn't support the paris climate accord they want to talk about free trade the theme of this by the way lindsey is the interconnectedness of the world right there and he is mr trump is acting more like an isolationist but the second topic is trade and again

on trade he's pulling back when we see the e.u. and japan. coming close to him king a deal between those two countries meanwhile you have president trump talking about he's pulled out of the trans-pacific partnership talking about withdrawing from nafta the north american free trade agreement and so that's at odds and then the third issue they're going to talk about is immigration where we have many european countries accepting tens of thousands of syrian refugees and in contrast to that you have president trump trying to impose a ban on citizens entering the u.s. from certain muslim countries and building a big and beautiful border wall to not let people in from mexico so the contrast couldn't be more stark so i don't think he's going to be able to go in there not in a sweet spot and say we're like let's go ahead and get a good deal for american prosperity i could be wrong i hope i'm wrong but it just doesn't seem like the cards are in the table let's talk about this chump meeting

just got out a short time ago. all right what do we know. how far is this posturing going it's always how you know the leaders after these meetings they sit around they kind of say oh it was great it's a great is very positive. what do we know about it and what he thinks we're going to what i think we'll know a little bit more that they do these things called readouts and we expect that we'll get a read out which will give more details now there are only six people in the room and two of them are translators which is a little bit supposedly president putin wanted some more people but they narrowed it down so the deliverable if you will is and good for both of the leaders they came up with a ceasefire to begin in syria on sunday in the southwest twelve twelve o'clock on sunday damascus time we'll see if that holds but good for them they didn't establish any safe zones we talked about these safe zones that they were going to deal with didn't do that yet president trump everybody was looking

whether or not he was going to mention to president putin about the election tampering. secretary of state tillerson did say that he raised it again we don't know the details around that the response other than that supposedly minister surgery whether i've said right no we don't know anything to do with it so we'll see in the readout any more details let's get to something sort of potentially awkward for china's president xi and donald trump arms sales to taiwan one point four billion dollars the u.s. illegally sort of obligated to help them protect themselves china says no way this is our territory do you see any sticking points there for us to that is talking at the g. twenty do you think there's going to so many issues that they will get held up on whether or not increased trade with north korea but look this is nothing new this is the first this is not the first time that the u.s. has sold weapons to taiwan did in the in two thousand and fifteen one point eight billion with the obama administration so i look for that to continue and even

though the chinese don't like it i don't think it's going to be any deal breaker deal. with north korea or anything else you think the north korea's going to take precedence over anything doing with taiwan this is the first arms sale since donald trump took office you think this is sort of well what i think i may need to do more of you know the security council they said the other day china was the only member of the security council saying nope we care we're not going to go and can do north korea so there is more work to do there all right we've got some more numbers to talk to you about after this break we're going to head to a break and then hit up something some jobs numbers that got to be talked about stick around when we get back we're going to discuss how much money mainstream media is making on their news coverage and we continue here with bart chilton looking at the numbers just out of labor statistics we go to break here's a number of the closing bell.

they say you know what i'm still at the same time. you know. we might need six years but that's a lot of. employee to me. want to know if you don't see magnificent. simply just. in saving to save us from people who really you know it's imprints the in my conformance the welcome in russia it's interesting. because this was dusty it's not very enjoyable place to be very friendly ok told. that. some basic. functions most. people here are very

glad that i'm here which of those little things. the dubrovnik. travel destinations so it must be nice to live there or is it. tourists disrupt the city's economic and social life. on the scene. while the city's trying. to collapse. of. the. company.

is a tourist feel. welcome back up again we're going to talk about the jobs. numbers here june jobs reports two hundred twenty thousand were created last month that's up from a report on employment rate itself and stop at ten to four point four percent. not only that it isn't made better than predicted and sounds like good news but put those in context for us lot of people out there actually going to feel so so people thought there was going to be one hundred seventy four thousand jobs right there were two hundred twenty two as you say the good news is that both the may numbers and the april numbers were reanalyze than up to revise so the may numbers went from one thirty eight to one fifty two at the fourteen thousand more

jobs and the april numbers went from two seventy four to two zero seven thirty four thousand more jobs so those are pretty positive signs and this was the highest employment highest number jobs created since february and of this year sir six months it's the there are two months higher than two hundred thousand and the average is one hundred eighty thousand you wanted numbers there's numbers there's never sorest let's talk about the new government jobs for people thirty five thousand new government jobs we're talking about department cuts across the board massive concern for people is that surprising that there's more government jobs now well to some extent it is when i saw that i was curious too but it's but it's a lot of state and local jobs ok it's not as much the federal government and when the federal government is doing this cutting it means that it puts more of a burden on states and localities so it's those sorts of jobs that. primarily i

view are the ones that are being increased and about the numbers indicating sort of a sure footed positive economic path forward that's going to looking at these numbers one of the well two things so one i mean let's hope that they're as positive it's a good trajectory into the future you know i'm not super optimistic but if you're not really good but look there's no denying this great numbers considering what we thought it remember we're talking you know less than one hundred thousand. i'm pretty positive about it but i just don't know. it's sustainable we'll we'll see as for the fed you know they're looking at yet another rate increase this year i don't think this these this report is going to do anything to sway them down no i think it's still positive enough now i don't think it will happen at the september meeting i think it will happen if it happens it'll happen in december there's something called the c m e the fed watch and it's essentially people taking

a bet on whether or not they think the federal increase rates and it's somewhere in the mid fifty's now that people think that it's going to increase rates and number of the increased rates last time was like ninety five percent of everybody thought they were going to raise rates so not so sure right now even the st louis president of the federal reserve board there jim bowler do the super smart guy raise some concerns about whether or not there should be another rate increase later this year so it could turn out that there's not one but i think it will only be one if it happens it'll happen in december but we're just going to have to keep looking at these numbers and i just you know hope that everything's positive or we're one of the things that's interesting and we're going to talk about this later in the show is microsoft's having a huge layoff so people are failing that in their own backyards a lot of international layoffs but when people hear you know jobs numbers like this and they're not feeling it in their localities do you think there's sort of a push back against any sort of statistics coming out talking about jobs that are

there pushing for the economy or anything like that do you think that people get jaded when they hear jobs numbers they're not they're not feeling it i think that in the presidential elections that had a big sway on how people felt they weren't feeling these high numbers and what one of the conversations you've ever had with people where they just don't feel this well i mean you know i buy spotted off a lot of numbers there in answer to your first question and you can get jaded by those but look numbers mean something they are they represent real people two hundred. the two thousand americans getting jobs is a big important thing and so we've got to we want to look at that and we want to see what they're doing we want to know the average hourly wage we want to know which only ticked up to ten ths of a percent by the way not not too much and we want to look at the we want to look at for example how many hours they are working there are they working more or less are they all part time jobs by the way the average right now is thirty four point five

hours a week is the average amount of the american working person that's incredibly low i think it's the average of now or if you were in france would be maybe a lot international viewers there shaking shaking their heads what do you think i've got to ask you about these seattle and the the five for fifteen real quick before we go about thirty seconds what do you think about the numbers coming about it's good it's bad this is sort of an incubator situation for the nation i don't know i mean i generally i'm looking at the tech stocks which have been such a run they're up right at fifteen percent this year today i think they may have had their best day best increase in two weeks so i look at all of those tech companies as something that i think is they still have a little bit running room but there is our concerns about whether or not they're aloft are you valuation projections but so far they're doing gangbusters i wish i had my own money in a lot of those and we'll see how the they do in the future all right thank you so much from us tony commissioner cartel to. thousands of microsoft employees have

been confronted with the news that they are now out of a job and most of the people losing their jobs work in sales and are located outside the united states redmond washington based company confirms that it began sending the layoff notices thursday the mass layoff as part of a shake up aimed at selling more subscriptions to software applications that can be used on any internet connected device microsoft's commercial cloud segment is on a pace to generate about fifteen billion die. alors in annual revenue more than twenty six million consumers subscribe to microsoft office three sixty five service which includes word excel and other massively popular programs that number has more than doubled in the last two years and microsoft employs more than one hundred twenty thousand people worldwide nearly seventy two thousand work in the u.s. .

let's talk about news who is making the most money on the mainstream's version of the news pending mergers and ratings we're going to talk about it all things have flipped around a bit donald trump lattimer putin and their respective administrations click bait they just can't seem to get enough in the mainstream please welcome lionel of lionel media who better to pick this apart let's talk about some something in the headlines c.n.n. losing ground to m s n b c the latter is actually focus our stance a bully on more progressive or translation less blatant and stories. a lot of change in the ratings and the perceptions of this media company you check the headlines every day breaking news breaking news is it really breaking people don't know what do you think is going on here. well you just summed it up perfectly i don't know what you need me for but. pretty doggone good let's go through this bit by bit because this is fascinating first let's talk about c.n.n.

then what you first alluded to there are movements within the dare i say the progressive left or liberal the audience which which which theoretically have historically always looked to c.n.n. and they're saying look you have become the story you have you're talking about yourself all the time let's see what that m.m.'s n.b.c. looks like their numbers have been dramatically better though some would say still hovering around that baby monitor but still that numbers tell you what i'm saying here is what i find just. right now since this is boom bust the real story is the sixty five to eighty five billion dollar merger now business insider yesterday one of the most telling quotes they stick or to jeff zucker the president of c.n.n. so you know i don't i don't think about this merger if they when i do my c.n.n.

that would have been my call as the head of a deity is they get him in here right away what do you mean you don't think about this that's all you should think about because what they're threatening to do is once this is done as one of the deals theoretically to the justice department which will get to it a moment that they're saying listen please let this go through we're going to kill this is going to go to where the golf channel now. let's assume lindsey that president trump is a sneaky guy let's just assume he holds a grudge and he could be a real mean son of oh yeah i thought as south park ouch i know i know but just imagine right now let's see if he says if he does the following if he says no let's see here i campaigned against this murder murder murder there's a pun there's. there's a floridian slip but anyway even though it's a vertical merger. i right now want to kill this i want to kill it and i want to teach them

a lesson so what do i do they're going to think it's me i'm going to take this letter signed by elizabeth warren bernie sanders al franken every problem the liberal progressive democrat i'm going to say you know what i think to show you our allegiance and my working with you i'm going to adopt your concerns and i'm going to direct my justice department to kill this merger wait a minute you're doing that because if you know who it's it's another bridge this is what you want right al franken right right progressive community so this is what he's looking at right now because we're talking about something this is huge because remember they want to make their money in entertainment lindsay they couldn't care less about this this this albatross called c.n.n. but it lionel it made billions during the elections ok it took rolling coverage of donald trump speeches didn't cut to break it wasn't

exactly doing that for a lot of the other candidates ad this is a boon for this company it brought in a lot of money they tend to just going to walk away from that. know. locomotor that's it i can go back even further i remember during the first gulf war though for so what that was then listen this is the most exciting story and remember what i said where number when the when this story when the media becomes the store with itself that is a formula for yeah and talent on said platform interesting thank you so much for weighing in on that and we want to bring you back talk about this pending merger could stack the deck against americans thank you so much lionel why no media have a great weekend you you too that's all for now check out the show on you tube you tube dot com slash boom bust our team thanks for watching next time.

you know there's a saying. there won't be cheap but then you want to come through. but ideas right. you are scum. you. must. be this. this is what we don't understand how we are in such a. dozen or so to the ones at the same time. it was in front of him to.

the. similar. john of. the one. on board not the guy. can we believe again with the phone about the food stamp with the plane. to come to the police story you have to see. the end. of june. beginning from. sixteen. targets that europe is surrounded by and one of them at a certain moment was president tom. you know it better than i do which flynt elderly.

i think the u.s. russia relationship is very important and has suffered and we need to make it better there's no question about it we need to cooperate on so many issues on nuclear weapons from syria on iran on energy on trade.

president putin says donald trump is very different in real life to the man you see on t.v. the comment coming at the end of the g. twenty summit in hamburg. strange in real life is completely different you probably saw on t.v. he was very businesslike easy to talk with. another night of violent and g. twenty protests the german city of hamburg shops and looted cars burnt out a militant left wing radicals clashed with police leaving many offices injured. and overwhelmed and under resourced another surge of migrants heading into europe strained some nations and divides others over the solution.
