a lack of funds on hand has left the company behind in red payments for airport terminals and other regular operating costs compelling cancellations and thereby depriving the company of needed revenue the business standard of india reports that jets three hundred thirty logged flights on monday of this week compared to the average of six hundred fifty daily flights from march and twenty eighteen they canceled flights and frustrated flyers led to the predictable expressions of outrage on social media with many saying the airline was less than polite in helping them rearrange their plans and that sort now sources at the state bank of india say that a negotiated resolution of the company's financial follies will be attained in the next few days. and following last weekend's horrific plane crash in ethiopia that plane model the boeing seven thirty seven max has been grounded in many nations across the globe including the united states home of boeing while those countries are exercising caution the airlines that use the plane have also seen their. stocks hit

a good turbulance here to help us break it down is steve malzberg conservative t.v. and radio commentator steve let's get right into this what's the outlook for first of all southwest airlines oh is it true they only that they only use boeing seven thirty seven max right now what southwest has thirty four boeing seven thirty seven max is the biggest exposure of any airline but still less than five percent of its total fleet so the five days a week gone by it was that about fifty one dollars and forty two cents a share near the close today was back up to fifty one forty so but over the past month southwest is down about ten percent as city today warned that southwest might lower its outlook due to the grounding of the planes and they also have an unusually high number of planes already out of service management is blaming that on the mechanics union and by the way the mechanics union is in a very contentious negotiation at this very moment with southwest so that's that's

where they are right now also there's some of us feared that to fill seats on replacement flights they might have to go below premium prices to fill those seats so that's why they're looking at all this or looking at southwest along those lines right now definitely no uncomfortable situation there in southwest losing five percent of your fleet that's still still a big crimp in your logistical operations now what about american airlines now a day or two after that crash union leaders for american airlines mechanics and flight attendants called for the grounding of the some thirty seven max since then what's been going on with american and their union and those and those discussions on safety well american that we should point out has twenty four of the affected planes so a little less than southwest but still a significant number for the week they're down slightly to about thirty two. there

is a share. down nine percent over the last month analysts do expect by the way a ninety six percent rise in profits in the upcoming year from one point four billion last year to about two point eight by two thousand and twenty so you know there's not really a problem with the unions that because the unions eventually thanks to the administration issuing that order did get what they wanted to so those planes of course are grounded it's interesting in this situation similar to the government shutdown when we saw some we started to see some impact on flight safety after really at the end of the the shutdown to an end arguably was the sum of the airline staff unions and in this case again we see perhaps a similar dynamic with the unions obviously they're very interested in their members their member safety on these airlines but turning to another company united tends to not make as much news as these others that we've just discussed what how

was united airlines weathering this scandal while united has just fourteen we keep going down they have just fourteen of the boeing seven thirty seven max planes and it too is recovered most of its losses for the week you know it hit everybody on tuesday dipped significantly on wednesday when trump announced the grounding of the planes but it was a at eighty to ninety one to start the week it's at eighty one fifty before the close today but it's down about again like most of these airlines are down over the month this one down about eight percent although united top their earnings that revenue in the fourth quarter they had a ten point five billion in revenue and any p.s. of two point two dollars or forty one cents compared to an expected one ninety nine so they're sitting in you know in pretty good shape as far as that goes very interesting and we so we cover the airlines beginning back to the manufacturer here in this case boeing what are they doing the black box for the seven thirty seven is has been recovered is being rude. by youth already he's and the company you know

there's differing views out there exactly how boeing is going to come out of this whether it's going to be a dire scenario where there were the whether they could somehow really just somehow skate through this what's your take steve well boeing was up as much as three percent today for a little while on news that they will be rolling out this new software fix to try to fix the problem with the seven thirty seven's that will become within the next ten days but they also said there's no indication how long it will take to be proven effective enough to get the planes back in the air it closed up about one point five percent around three seventy nine that down five percent for the week bank of america said that this new fix could take three to six months so who knows what kind of effect that would have on the stock which is down by the way over ten percent for the month and so again a lot of wildcards in how long it takes for this software to be implemented and will it be effective and who is going to be the first one to try it out in the air i mean i would want to be on that plane. very interesting in you know. people are

very familiar with getting software updates perhaps on the operating system on their computers so sure that they're doing software updates on this large piece of machinery that carries hundreds of people at a time you know perhaps disconcerting but we'll keep an eye on the situation thanks for updating us steve malzberg conservative t.v. and radio commentator and through time have a good weekend. and the sovereign wealth fund of the emirate of abu dhabi has temporarily blacklisted goldman sachs over their involvement in the sprawling one im d.b.'s scandal in malaysia fun which operates with two hundred twenty five billion dollars in assets under the under the name will be dollar and then spent company says it will now make no new investments with the global mega bank in the wake of a lawsuit filed by movie dollars against goldman last november with all the suit alleges that goldman involved an oil investment subsidiary of movie dollars in. in

the one m.t.v. scandal and while movie dollars spokesperson said existing relationships with goldman will be honored they also said quote we have suspended any activities with goldman sachs pending outcome of the litigation. and facebook may be facing prosecution is the department of justice starts a criminal investigation into how the social media platform shares its data joining us now to discuss that breaking story from new york is the c.e.o. verbally and research alex weiss alex welcome to the show. they did so much for having me on today. the opportunity yeah thanks for being here now facebook's been in the news obviously not for the right reasons this week and now they're having to deal with scrutiny from federal prosecutors looking at the way that they profit from sharing your data what can you tell us about this case and catch our viewers

up on what's been happening this week well first of all facebook doesn't profit from sharing the data facebook does not sell any data whatsoever facebook only ever share data with other tech firms on a share for share basis to improve your user experience for instance spotify would get your interests and then have better songs to recommend to you so you know facebook never sold any data to make any type of financial profit. ok let's take it's also no secret that almost all the social media digital platforms are skimming your data in some way you know sort of scraping where you can to get your location what you like your friends other information like that and the vast array of information and we all know that investigative agencies obviously are looking at that. should we be concerned as consumers on how our our data are being shared. well i think that brings us to a larger question do you believe in government censorship or are you

a libertarian and you want all of your data private and so you know that's that's really a separate issue there. but when you sign up for apps you know they make it clear to you that they will share your data with other sources so when you sign up for or tender it's one of the first things that they say you know we are going to share your data your data is available so. everyone has consented to having their data shared you know facebook didn't share any data they weren't supposed to right now yours you're saying that they have been all on the up and up and they're not profiting from ship selling data and we're trying to keep an eye on as far as they publicly announced at the same time there could be things going on within facebook i don't know about you know i i run rebellion research dot com and a i robot advisor not at facebook so the only person that really knows if they've done the legal activities is mark zuckerberg you know and that's that's

a question for him. i guess that is the question here is one of the questions is is this are these corporate practices. that involve sharing customer data are they on the level of illegality or their trust while asians perhaps or is it just somebody and i don't go ahead. i don't think that there isn't a legal issue here i think you know politicians are reading a lot of headlines and jumping on it i think that you know a lot of tech journalists these days you know are probably less savvy than their i.t. department and so politicians are reading these headlines and jumping on it but now i like these books you know really needs to know though is how to understand their user better facebook needs to do their users want privacy because it's their job to make their users happy right now if they haven't done anything wrong how they got in so much trouble here. you know there's a spin a media storm that's kind of built on itself and built on itself and built on

itself so you know it's a hot topic you know mark zuckerberg is legendary in society for being a jerk you know the movie chronicled him was a fantastic movie and it really made him a legendary you know jerk to most of the world so people love seeing mark zuckerberg as the villain certainly an image problem at the very least alex why he's the c.e.o. of rebellion research. oh my pleasure have a great day you too. then coming up time now for a quick break but hang here because when we return an emissions scandal is rocking academia among the nation's elites or in the united states remington a greg of public citizen lenses a hand to sort through the scandal and before we go one quick stock to know apple which is traded on the nasdaq has seen their stock jump in the town's couple of weeks take a look at that meter spike that happened around march eat much of that can be attributed to the positive news the company has gotten lately jumping around ten

dollars over the past week and as we go to break here are the rest of those market numbers at the closing bell. it's.

the. rule of fighting oh oh oh oh dear it's crazy you know. been a real good shots to begin murders goals all our life. becomes our last community young people are deciding if they want to be not like their parents not like them liberals. the blacks are always drug school. again you always have problems but you are going to focus and walk is the most ubiquitous known out there most police departments use it almost over stores in the schools that they could get their hands on in common with them twenty four hours. through it teach nice kids a bio racism about police brutality taking cried and be all these kids are a part of all history.

it's up to the government to step in and be a player in the economy not just an enabler for monopolies you know the government should be competing for health care and drug prices they should be competing in transportation and education. and they should offer an alternative people should be able to get a public utility bank for example account and get out of the matrix of the big wall street banks they don't have that option they should have that option and therefore you would restore some competition in the economy. if. you come up from

a fair amount of the still you don't want to justify. giving up because a couple of. you just got honey. locust it would be ok sunny. more gentle for a while for you if they think you know how to. fish and you know you want to be able to perform your own thing no nothing. out of your fucking head. full opening night will be so. busy this is a stick a. phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is spawns of the coca-cola company which sounds millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad was there the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all

this weighs the company has promised to reuse the plastic. mainly. because sixty. special projects funded. on the i knew best. dizzy and eventually fun now the mountains of noise only grow higher. turkey is toeing the line between east and west and rankling nato allies with plans to purchase an ast four hundred missile defense system from russia u.s. officials have now vented their displeasure over those previously announced turkish

infrastructure investment bank a multilateral lender led by china a five page memo outlining expansive options for economic cooperation between italy and china as defacto proxy lender was obtained by the financial times of london the proposals will be considered a summit between prime minister. because auntie and chinese prime minister she jinping on march twenty second. a scandal over the extent of corruption an honor and privilege in the u.s. higher education system is rolling roiling the united states this week on tuesday federal prosecutors charged fifty people across six states with involvement in a scheme to buy help on standardized tests and slots on college athletic recruitment list for the children of america's wealthy elites the parents on the list of alleged bribe payers include a golden globe nominated actress and former c. list sitcom star accused of paying her daughter's way into the university of south southern california or us see that daughter olivia j.g.

a newly was reportedly sailing on the two hundred sixteen foot yacht belonging to the chairman of us he's board of trustees when the scandal broke the revolution revelations are provoking larger questions about wealth privilege and systemic injustices embedded in an increasingly unfordable on affordable american system of higher education here to discuss this scandal and the vital issues around it in greater detail is rehman and greg counsel for civil justice and consumer rights of public citizen welcome back to the show now to lymington thank you for joining us this is a huge story here in the united states obviously but for a global audience can you just quickly recap the bombshell on monday and some of the developments in the story this week yeah it was an explosive story a massive scandal twenty five million dollars worth of bribes were paid to get kids into elite colleges they bribed coaches they found ways to get them in to the colleges without going through the normal channels of meritocracy and as the ring

leader admitted in court because he's already pled guilty in our system we have a front door which is you get there through hard work you have a back door which is you paid people to to get you there usually through large donations and then you have the side door which is what he was using which is used . thing some of the the the ways that you can kind of cheat the system and so what we have now is thirty three parents who have been indicted nine coaches and these students who had no clue what their parents were doing and we recently found out today that this whole investigation which was only about a year from start to finish was only started because of a tip from someone who was being arrested for securities fraud and he wanted to use this to buy some good favor with authorities in those tipsters can be really key in cases like this person hadn't spoken we might not we would know most likely about

any of this this is as you mentioned such a sprawling story across six states and so many clubs right into so many roiling issues right now wealth class race and the structures in this country that either distribute or deny canonic opportunity based on education a lack of proper to news in the united states so you know stepping back for a big picture you know what is this story about to you what are the real issues that we should focus on when we read this news and what should we be looking for in the story which we're talking about i mean this this is a huge question and we should be talking about it now and in the future because we cannot talk about this without bringing in race and class it's absolutely fundamental and income inequality and there are three big pieces here number one is wealth and privilege wealth and privilege begets more wealth and privilege and these children have mazing privileges and are able to get into almost any doorway but with a great elite education or at least going to an elite college rather question

whether they actually went to school or not they're able to open even more doors for themselves and when we are trying to get into open those doors for ourselves a lot of times we have to spend a lot of money in student loan debt just to get there and that widens the wealth gap and winds. second there are two americas and there's one set of rules for the wealthy and there's another set of rules for everyone else and i think that's what's so shocking about this case it's that they have so much wealth and privilege already and they still refuse to abide by the rules and the third is like we found out that we should know the underbelly of this which is there's a lot of ways to get into college other than just a meritocracy we have obviously athletics but we also have legacies twenty percent of those who go to harvard are there because someone else in their family went there and of course money we have that story two point five million dollars was given to harvard by christmas father and behold he went to harvard so there's

a lot of money and this is a lot of privilege and wealth and income inequality that we need to talk about in the and that's certainly one of the critiques out there is that these parents that have been charged tried to use their money in the wrong way that there is more respectable means of essentially doing the same thing as in the case of kirshner the coaches played a role in this they were sort of. auctioning off these slots that they have that they can choose on the college sports teams what does this does this tell us anything more about the influence the influence of political influence on cap on campus sports teams and sort of their influence in the university industrial complex here oh yeah i remember when i was in high school a nerdy. reporter my school newspaper writing about the fact of sports. on the on the school campus and absolutely right because they get to say ok we want this person that we want this person and they are and they are admitted and

as we know oftentimes they don't have the comparable grades and test scores as their peers. you know sitting in this scandal aside what is the state of ohio for higher education affordability right now well the state of it is it's not a full. double. for one point five billion dollars sorry trillion dollars. in student loan in student loan debt and we are seeing people having to choose between paying for their mortgages and paying their student loan debt or waiting to have children so this is impacting the entire economy and it's widening the wealth gap i mean yes obviously student loans are important for all of us to get into college for many but there is also the pernicious side of ways that it keeps you. shackled and keeps you from being able to move up the economic ladder

because you had these for thirty forty years of your life and you know the lecture that millennial is get a lot from boomers is the more you learn the more you earn and then in this case we have the most by some measures the most educated generation american history saddled with all that student loan debt and they are able to make the most of that education that they got what that they were advised to get but a lot of issues to dig in here and thanks so much for going to some of it with us from public citizen thank you thank you. and as we end the week there is some sweet and stimulating merger news to report the familiar globally italian coffee brand elite has quite sensibly decided to pair their product with something sweet moving to acquire london based pressed at london based chocolatier priced at for an undisclosed amount ricardo illy president of the
