report today as the eyes of the world begin turning toward an anticipated meeting between chinese president xi jinping and u.s. president donald trump at the g. twenty summit beginning friday in borno sorry's argentina behind the bluster of mr trump's tirades against china the trump commerce department has given all most listen to this three thousand waivers from u.s. tariffs to u.s. based companies seeking to continue using imported chinese metals and metals products blade manufacture greenfield industries which is based in south carolina owned by a chinese company reportedly accounted for one thousand waivers one thousand ways are waivers how did they get those incidentally as world leaders and media including r.t. america scottie hughes who we hope to hear from on the program next time descend upon buenos ariz for the g twenty meeting government officials have suggested to the city's twelve million residents that they actually leave due to the stringent security mode under which. security is existing in the city. and there is more news

on china's role in building international internet infrastructure especially the vaunted five g. technology last time we reported the decision by papa new guinea to proceed with chinese tech firm was always construction of internet architecture despite opposition from other governments including australia and the united states well today there's more news new zealand telecom companies spark announced the national intelligence agency there in new zealand has cited national security as a reason to block sparks proposal to enlist while way as a partner in the construction of cell tower facilities for five g. radio access network the already and they call it spark express disappointment but still expect the five g. r a n to launch as planned in july twenty twenty. and us federal reserve chairman jay powell has made news today and what some of paul does most important speech since he was confirmed for the position earlier this year

during a speech the chairman said the economy is growing quote above trend and there's only moderate risk to financial stability he signaled rate increases will continue but hedged on exactly when suggesting the fed was nearing a neutral rate where interest rates neither increased or slowed economic growth u.s. markets reacted favorably to his comments and joining us now to discuss the fed and more is our friend adam mesh of adam mesh trading who joins us from our new york studios adam most folks will think the fed will increase rates in december about eighty percent of a condom is think that by another quarter of a percent of a point but that doesn't appear to have bothered traders in the u.s. today in light of the chairman's overall comments about the economy what are your thoughts. it certainly didn't bother traders the big thing that changes the land which in the past chairman pollitz said that we were a long way away from neutral today the comments were that were just below neutral

that's a big difference in the wording and the futures market went from pricing three or four raises in two thousand one thousand to now just one raise in two thousand and nineteen so it looks like we'll get this raise in december everybody's expecting but then it may not be you know it may not be until june or maybe later in the year and just to be clear i mean when we talk about a neutral rate pretty much everybody is there's a consensus around two and a half to three and a half percent on interest rates right adam yeah that's that's the exact number the big number to follow is when they said a long way away from neutral we saw the market drop ten percent now that we're just below neutral we had a two and a half percent rally today but if you do the math we could have three more days just like today yeah i mean it's so after the markets watch the language i mean i remember when i was a regulator it's different being the fed chair certainly than

a commissioner of the financial regulatory agency but boy every word you say market to look at this stuff particular when you're the fed chair and he was generally jay powell pretty positive about the economy although he did notify you risk raising rates too fast you said could be a problem the trade dispute could be a problem he also mentioned brecht's it and you know that could have been a big impact worldwide on some some economies any noted some weakness in housing and i said that i thought he said that some assets classes could be overvalued but i didn't see more than at what you think is referring to in the overvalued asset classes adam. i wonder if you is going with traditional asset classes or he's looking at some of the more more alternative it would be interesting i'd like to dig a little deeper and find out what he was referring to there because because that could be a target for some downside opportunity so that's a very good question let me ask you this adam the president continues to brow beat

on twitter and in remarks the fed mr powell his pick for chairing the fed suggesting the economy is slowing because of the fed what do you think. well the president's and the trumpet ministrations goal is to see an increase of three percent of g.d.p. per quarter and they're on pace with that we also saw that unemployment hit a forty eight percent year forty a year low which is. any kind of negative possible news was outweighed by all the good that came today and you saw the market reacts and it was incredibly favorable yet pay adam we're out of time today i would love to get you back as soon as possible because i know weird plan to talk about some stocks and we always want to hear that from you as to hopefully get you back as soon as possible adam ashe of adam mesh trading a great to have you with us adam thank you. the

national center for health statistics in the united states has reached some findings about who eats fast food and the results may surprise you they surprised me the government's agencies latest national health and nutrition survey found the likelihood of eating fast food increases it increases with income among families of four in the low income bracket thirty one point seven percent consume fast food that number for families in the top income bracket was forty two percent the study seemed to contradict commonly held assumptions about people with less income being more likely to consume low price low nutrition options some public health experts question the study's methodology what's affectionately put fast casual salad vendors for example in the same category as restaurants and burgers or pizza a new york university professor of public health a nutrition and path boom bust gassed marion nestle told the website new food economy she said quote this is comparing apples to apples and doesn't work. and to

dig deeper on this and more we are pleased to be joined by the intrepid author of bet the farm how food stop being food fred kaufman bread ice ice a intrepid because you really took on the largest food companies that in the world in your book and i love that you took them on and i love your book and we're glad that your day first of all what you make of that survey fred well i think marion nestle is absolutely right it's apples and oranges by the same token i think what we're seeing is that fast food as a whole is becoming better it's becoming healthier and becoming more focused on retail need and i think everybody is just pressed for time i mean that's the bottom line apples and oranges apples and oranges if you ate apples and oranges you'd be very healthy but i can tell you even if you have a little more money once in a while you can still go to fast foods to spite your health fred let's talk about a different kind of fast food companies are increasing trying to bring product to market quicker and that's been something that had

a trouble with it in the past when you look at the the clothing sector you know they turn around on a dime when fashion whims change but there's been a problem in the food sector why is that. well i think basically the problem of the food sector and why it's been so conservative is really it's an inelastic market everybody is in it to the tune of about two thousand calories per day and so what that allows is the really the equivalent of the big box store in this sector which is the grocery store to be very conservative and traditionally it's been very hard to get shelf space but now we're seeing a real change part and what we're seeing is as amazon enters this market what we're seeing is much more of a willingness to change and to open up that shelf space and what we're seeing also are for instance retailers like coca-cola who are now introducing two new flavored drinks a leak in japan leaving them out for six weeks seeing how they're doing and either letting them go or not the cautionary tale here what everybody is really afraid of is something like the milk story milk kind of sat back and just figured everybody

is going to be buying us forever and look what's happened to that milk aisle look at all the yogurt drinks look at the vast diversification of drinks and milk the great stalwart has lost a tremendous market share and so i mean in the past they've been slow it could take years for them to get a new product but will it really separate those who just survive and those who thrive if they're more adept at getting products to market. absolutely and really what we're seeing are start ups really out of for instance one called habit out of oakland california which is getting so far advanced in terms of quickness of response and personalized nutrition what they're trying to do is hook up big data from your fic bit from social media using personalized d.n.a. and getting everybody a personal diet part so that in other words every single day depending on how you're working out what you're doing your food will be ready for you from amazon fresh. let me ask you are there some i mean that's an exception but are there some

other large companies who are turning around products quicker that may actually be bent big beneficiaries that we haven't talked about. everybody's doing it part we're seeing tyson foods are seeing we're seeing nestle we're seeing coca-cola really all across the board this is the story in the food industry right now is faster response getting new flavors and getting new tests getting the test base getting on those grocery shelves and if you don't do it you're going to you're going to die you know i do perrigo praed i'll just tell you i wanted to. think really highly of heinz you know the catch up company when they introduce they brought to market that product mayo chop you know manny's and catch up together it hasn't helped their stock much but they did finally get it out there author of bet the farm how food stop being food fred kaufman thank you so much fred great to see you great to see you bart. and time now for

a quick break but hang here because when we return we'll talk about apple's claims before the supreme court and if you like an i phone equivalent first nearly a thousand dollars less andre barlow and steve small for standing by to discuss plus our chief producer saya tavenner will join us to look at global oil in light of that upcoming g. twenty meeting we told you about and the opec meeting next week in vienna and here are the numbers back in a flash. point .

and one moment i threw my shame i can send it up by you know when the news we're buddies. they. should have been there so. i don't want that or i can't that's funny as hell and mission you know that if you're not a yank kind of whom you could see killed any kind of ticking. the night he made the move on to follow the one that you know enough that i would have been proud of. you know world of big movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than

ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. is finding this out the need. for our eyes how the powder but by which i live. in i'm going to have to go to break. the unless i get older and your brother the most i'm not the host u.d.m.a. look to get them for you the law has a funny but it was you don't love million. that's right down the bank all of you like gunda bayswater of chemical lies and as our

business is going to go he would develop a new treatment there internationally mockers know that these industries out of polluting your dissenting ignored your money. that happens other than the videos and then he tells them other than that into the last game of the. british government report has confirmed u.k. leaders face a range of brecht's at options which range from bad to worse the consensus among all consulted departments of government is that these so-called hard breakfasts that's with no deal hard bracks it would reduce british g.d.p.

by a whopping nine point three percent over fifteen years compared to where it would be if it would have been rather if a bracks vote had failed the government also found that by the same standard the plan agreed to by prime minister theresa may and leaders would shrink g.d.p. in the u.k. by three point nine percent speaking in london today mark carney the governor of the bank of england gave this grim forecast by the end of twenty twenty three g.d.p. is more than ten percent lower in the disorderly scenario compared to that maybe twenty sixteen trend. despite this short contraction in g.d.p. something that's bigger than the happened during the financial crisis unemployment rises to seven and a half percent less than during the financial crisis and that reflects the supply driven nature of the downturn. and like i said from bad to worse and by the way we noted earlier breck's it will impact other economies including that of the united states. and catching up with the battle for market share in the ride hailing d.d.

has been hit with heavy fines and strong public rebuke from chinese authorities over safety issues d.d. is a global leader in the sector and dominant in china but that success was marred by two separate deaths of riders by d.d. drivers earlier this year earlier today the chinese transport ministry said deedes systemic skirting of safety rules has created quote a major safety hazard for d.d. customers the ministry also said quote the drivers qualifications and background checks are not in place the company's management of people and vehicles is out of control. and if you're looking for great deals on a new i phone i pad or apple watch you may have even made a purchase on black friday or monday to take advantage of some pretty sweet deals that purchase would make you a direct customer of an apple product but while customers have been busy gobbling up the latest apple products apple's attorneys were busy making their case before

the u.s. supreme court in an antitrust suit that could have big financial repercussions for the tech giant the issue centers on the apple app store and the question of who is the customer when you pay to download an app is it you or the developer of the app it's complex but an interesting matter and here to explain and comment is and i trust attorney andrew barr andre barlow a partner it doyle barlow and mozart and servant of t.v. commentator steve walter welcome gentlemen great to have you. both andre you are the expert on this stuff you've been here before you've told us explain this pretty complex case for all the bull busters yes sure you know if you would think it's pretty simple on who the customer is who the direct purchaser is but under the antitrust laws nothing is very simple what we have here is consumers brought an antitrust case against apple for monopolization of the of the of the

distribution of applications that are sold through the apple store they control the entire apple ecosystem and these are apps for i o. s. devices so apple has complete control of the distribution of these apps and consumers believe that they've been overcharged and that's what the case is simply about now the district court threw out the case and then the ninth circuit overruled the distant court and said the case can go on and now apple has appeal to the supreme court and apple's main argument is that the most. the most appropriate plaintiff here are the app developers the app developers are the ones that pay the thirty percent commission fee and they should be bringing the case if there is a case to be brought that they are the direct purchasers of these services and that the consumers are not now this may be some form over substance you know apple is

relying on this agency relationship that it has with these app developers and you know the app developers control the cost of the apps but apple is simply distributing it to the consumers now taking a look at it you know for a perspective of the consumer the consumer is making a direct purchase through apple they pull out their i phone they're downloading the app and there you have it they're the direct purchaser so their argument is from the consumer. point that this direct purchaser world that has existed for you know almost fifty years doesn't really apply in this instance because they are the direct purchaser hey steve what do you make of this case. yeah well you know it's hard to judge what the supreme court might do but from the reports and the questions that were asked certainly the liberal judges like sort of a or and kagan seemed to be on the side of the plaintiffs that they were purchasing

you know and they were the customer and they were they had a right to sue that's what this is all about who has a right to sue is there standing on the part of these citizens to sue apple and claim antitrust but even samuel alito and neal gorsuch two conservative justices said that this direct purchaser law which is over seventy years old may be outdated because of the way the economy has developed and changed so they appear to be kind of on the side of the plaintiff as well you can never predict but if i had to make a guess i would say this case will be allowed to go forward in arresting and guys i want to shift gears a little little a little bit we've spoken about a competition a lot on the program and apple is certainly the eight hundred pound gorilla in the tech sector but there's competition some of this competition has made us do what we do here all the time question more and so bear with me we've been covering this controversy about wild way that the chinese tech firm where the governments are wary of the us australia new zealand about wildly being involved in providing five

g. or anything but while way produces a phone that is nearly identical to the i phone and it's five hundred bucks and the new i phone the equivalent with all the bells and whistles is fifteen hundred bucks so my question is and i may seem a little conspiratorial but is it all about national security when these governments are slated don't buy while why or are they supporting apple is there any more than meets the eye here steve you first well i do say everything that you're say i think it's a bargain if you could buy that phone there's three cameras there's better hardware they say the battery life is much longer than the i phone ten and it's cheaper it's like a no brainer so that you could say hey maybe they are trying to protect up on the other hand there is a legitimate security threat here in two thousand and twelve the united states. issued a report talking about the security threat of the chinese hardware and companies like while way and down new zealand as you alluded to and they did a little story on earlier five g.

they're out of the picture australia they're out of the picture and what apple needs to do now i'll just be brief with this they haven't even mentioned five g. yet and there's some speculation that that won't happen till two thousand and twenty and they're looking to develop their own modem if you will to keep it all in house and not have to rely on outside people to provide for them but i think that the security concern is absolutely legitimate you've got three three cameras like you say maybe one of them is on you all the time andre what is your thought on this thing you know i think i think that security concern is legitimate as well there is there's much to be said about that but i would also bring in another thing for consumers to think about no matter what devices you buy whether it's a samsung or an apple product or a google home or amazon alexa when you invite these products into your home or onto your person you are giving up the level of privacy to the data that exist on these devices and what they're learning about you so there's much to be

concerned about and if you're talking about security concerns in terms of why that that is all the judgment and i would just raise the raise the issue on all devices that you acquire is getting a little bit tougher than just putting a piece of tape on the camera on your computer conservative t.v. and radio commentator steve walter and partment doyle barlow and mozart andre barlow thank you guys for your time appreciate it thanks part think. we now shift gears to take a look at global oil and more oil prices trade in the new york mercantile exchange in new york today we're trading just north of fifty dollars per barrel the average price for a gallon of gasoline ited states today is two dollars. in fifty seven cents per gallon that's up three cents or only three cents rather over from a year ago this time many are producing nations aren't too pleased with the relatively low price here discusses are two producers slated to have injuries

welcome we have not only this opec meeting coming up on the sixth but the g twenty meeting coming up later in the league and we'll get some reports and talk about that more but what do you make of what's going on and what you think is going to happen in these conversations. or as well bar and let's look at the key players and tearing into the g twenty which of course are the u.s. and russia and saudi arabia now these are are of course the top three or oil producers in the world and they provide about a third of the world's oil i do that exactly and they're all going to be there so they're going to be using the g twenty as a way to come up with a strategy for the upcoming meeting in which is going to be for the opec meeting but as we all know there is a lot of geopolitical leverage the u.s. currently has over saudi arabia so that all eyes are are going to be on saudi arabia and the us is expecting saudi arabia to maintain these low oil prices that we currently have about about fifty four dollars

a barrel dollar barrel and president even recently sent out a twitter and thanked saudi arabia for the fifty four dollar mark and thanking them because that way it went from eighty four dollars and october but what's really interesting about president trump's tweet is that what a lot of will join realize is that the u.s. currently imports about ten point four million million barrels of oil per day and forty percent of that actually comes from canada and less than ten percent of that comes from saudi arabia about half of our use actually comes from comes from here in here in the united states and not from imports so although they have a lot of geopolitical leverage or versity arabia they're on they're not actually i mean part of our. he was here in the us are really the cynic about we talk about geo political leverage i mean the president just seems to be buying this jamal khashoggi the deceased murdered journalist from the saudis he just seemed is not

dealing with his own cia expectorate this is the first g. twenty sense that death and so mohamed bin some of the crown prince in saudi arabia is going to be meeting i mean would you like to be on a fly on the wall if he meets with president trump how do you think these global leaders are going to react to the crown prince well let's again go back to how much currently the saudi arabia is actually out putting in oil which is at a record high about eleven point three million barrels a day by going into the g twenty and then the opec meeting saudi arabia is expected to have a saudi first policy on everything and so they're not they're not going to they're going to pursue their own economic interests and that's why analysts are forecasting you know they're interesting and i want to get to have you back soon because i know there's other news in oil and we are going to be coming up on that opec meeting on the six of thank you so much so i tab and gerard the producer that

you're being very great there. and that's it for this time thank you for being with us you can catch boom bust on you tube dot com slash boom bust r.t. so long for now we'll see again. u.s. veterans who come back from war to tell the same stories. we're going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either. there are already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circular defense office says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with them

money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war then surely we can risk some discomfort for uneasiness for peace. us producing a lot of oil and gas in our energy and abandonware yes as big as in russia and saudi arabia but the oil as you're making there is that they're actually losing money on their back. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying news just

knowing that hasn't and that we're even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. to the. u.s. senators demand an end to military support for saudi arabia in the long running war in yemen. introducing martial law. ahead of the upcoming election. was nothing but a provocation by.
