hong kong protests news spread quickly and ignited the anger of china immediately giant sponsors like songhai food don't development bank. 10 cent streaming platform slammed on magazines and more all of whom make up between 10 to 15 percent of m.b.a.'s revenues announce the suspension or terminations with the rockets furthermore product contains the rockets keyword and m.b.a. products have also been removed from ali by the stall ball and chain don't online shopping on monday october 7th mori and be issued a neutral explanation statement but their explanation failed to satisfy china instead they got even more backlash this time from the u.s. who accuse the organization of being more interested in money than human rights the organization is attempting to dive use the situation now and be a president adam silver issued his 1st public statement in tokyo today saying that he supported maurice freedom of speech but at the same time this freedom has a price and now we must all accept such consequences and be

a brooklyn nets owner type of machine criticize maurice tweet saying that while freedom of expression is a right some topics are minefields in some countries societies and groups supporting a movement and china's territories is one of those minefields the relationship between china and the m.b.a. is a multibillion dollar marriage that involves media rights streaming merchandising licensing and much much more it's a market that the n.b.a. has been planting season for over 3 decades nurturing it and growing it to the 500000000 fans today translating to over $4000000000.00 the houston rockets furthermore is the biggest team brand within the n.b.a. as this was the home team of the yamaha who is now the president of the chinese basketball association this entire franchise is now at risk as politics has bled into consumers and entertainment to quote yagi people none should its own was high mazzone was you can't profit off of china and in this. condemned china here to give

us the full scope of the economic impact of such recent moves and so much more we're happy to welcome richard wolfe professor of economics emeritus at the university of massachusetts amherst and the author of democracy at work so professor wall of right now nike shares fell after c.c.t.v. sports said that they would suspend n.b.a. broadcast which attracted some $800000000.00 viewers last year nike's aggressive china growth strategy coupled with its connection with the m.b.a. made it extra vulnerable to consumer boycotts in the weeks and months ahead nike has previously relied on china for double digit growth in the region for every single quarter for more than 5 years so how will they navigate this as a consumer brand as it's just so easy for any consumer to just substitute with a domestic brand such as the name or even adidas. well i think you're seeing a learning curve i think you're seeing american corporations and indeed corporations in other parts of the world recognize that their future depends on the

growth of their business in china it is the most rapidly growing collection of possibilities for corporate growth that exist on this planet and to be excluded from that is to really humble yourself and if you're going to be part of the chinese explosion of economic growth then you're going to have to be sensitive to the issues that concern the chinese you don't have to agree with them you don't have to suspend freedom of expression none of those things they're really side issues the question is are you going to attack areas of sensibility that perhaps the best way to understand it is to imagine if a chinese company came into the united states and one of their highest officials made statements about the cruelty to immigrant children being put in cages or the phenomenon of white policeman shooting black citizens and so on it would encourage

a firestorm of upset anger political interventions you don't want to do that if you're going into an economic situation of growth it's mind blowing that the people at the used rockets didn't know enough about china to understand that in china the understanding of what's happening in hong kong is not what we have here in the united states and it's not a question of debating that question it's a question of understanding if you inflame the situation they're going to be consequences for your own economic growth so the consequences now is those that's debate of can the rockets fire morry over this tweet and if so will it be for cause or without cause without cause will lead to a large payout for morry but with cars will be highly controversial as will it be a civil rights violation over his freedom of speech or will this be about the monetary damages that he that has caused the team so either way it leaves them very

open to a countersuit so what do you think. my guess is that both sides here want this to go away the purpose of the chinese expression whether it's the citizen in the street or the government or a politician is to make the world clear that you're not going to come into china take advantage of our economic miracle here 'd and be able to insult what many of us feel you can't do that but they don't want to lose the n.b.a. it's very popular in china there the chinese are more interested in basketball than any other sport in this country so that's a great growth area for american business they don't want to lose it the rockets don't the n.b.a. doesn't night he doesn't they're going to figure out a face saving way to get beyond this and hope that the lesson has been learned so people aren't quite so glib with their freedom of expression if they don't want the consequences to hobble their economic growth so let's talk really quickly about

some of the most expensive tweets and how much revenue businesses can possibly lose in less than 60 characters which is actually a pretty impressive accomplishment in its own right so iran must once tweeted and that cost samsung nearly $600000000.00 kylie jenner cents down about $1500000000.00 how much is this tweet going to cost the n.b.a. . in the short run it's costing them already huge amounts of money canceled games that would happen in china canceled contracts but they're looking at an unknowable amount because the question is in every negotiation in china now this issue is going to be the fly on the wall the the only invited guest that will shape every contract every negotiation that goes on from this point this is something that the n.b.a. not only didn't want they want the opposite of this they want smooth sailing into an expanding chinese economy so it's hard to know

a number. we're here but you're going to see a lot of effort off the record of the of the houston rockets of nike and all the others that are involved here to promise never to do this again to take extraordinary steps to repair the damage they've done to learn more about how the chinese see the world so that they stop that bad american habit of thinking the whole world looks at it the way we do year and the way we don't even agree in this country let alone the way it's portrayed abroad so it's a learning lesson but i think you'll get beyond it because everybody has so much writing on getting beyond so while the political tension between china and the u.s. is clearly spilling over to consumer and entertainment segments let's turn our back to washington right now so i had a thursday's train to go shares in the u.s. is blacklisting a group of 20 a chinese tech companies that includes vision and that develops facial recognition

and ai so this blacklist effectively bars u.s. firms from selling technology to companies without government approval why is the us once again escalating into negotiations that trick has never worked with china the last 12 times why expect it different outcome this time. i think you in a way you're answering your own question you're absolutely right crazy thing to do going into a negotiation it basically destroys the whole chance of working something out and you're basically correct as well that the chinese have never bent to this so why do it the answer is it's about domestic american politics mr trump in deepening economic and political difficulties has to have an ongoing drama all down higher tension lowered he's got to keep this going until the moment he thinks it's correct to cut a deal with china to portray it to the american people if he can as

a great victory whatever it really is and the hope that it helps a bit in the election that's what's going on think of this as a dance to which the chinese are invited but it's a dance completely choreographed by mr trump and his drive for reelection so not japan and the u.s. have just signed a limited trade deal that opens up markets for american farmers and brings tokyo a degree of assurance that trump won't impose new tariffs on auto imports for now prime minister our goal was to win a pledge that the u.s. won't flap tariffs on autos but the written text doesn't explicitly cover tariffs so here's what president trump said in the deal on monday in washington. in the united states these deals are a game changer for our farmers and our ranchers our farmers ranchers and growers will now be able to compete fairly in japan against major competitors swirled would . so this actually looks like this was more of

a lose lose deal as the agriculture agreement didn't even compass what was previously done and it's he so it was this deal rushed as both sides didn't really get what they wanted. absolutely again i don't mean to be a dead horse but mr trump has to get something somewhere so he has this agreement with the japanese let's make no mistake china is an enormous country by comparison population wise japan is a small country japan cannot pick up the agricultural exports of the united states that could of and we're going to china so this is not a great solution for american farmers it is a very poor substitute for what they are losing in china number one and precisely because it doesn't really buy into anybody's hands there's nothing that japanese can assume to rely on they're going to have to make deals with australia with argentina with the other agricultural suppliers that they have to rely on the

chinese are busily finding their own substitutes this is mr trump making something out of very little to look less like he's caught up in a global trade war he can't control which is unfortunately exactly the situation he has gotten himself and all of us into a fascinating insight professor richard well thank you so much for being here. do. the hong kong boris has scrapped its unsolicited $39000000000.00 bid for the london stock exchange group after failing to commence management and investors to back its move the l.s.e. board rebutted the offer on grounds of strategy not price many analysts now believe that the political turmoil engulfing hong kong was seen as a huge obstacle to the deal ha x. is offer was the latest attempt at an exchange mega merger after multiple failures between the l.s.e. and the deutsche of burrs over the last 17 years a strategic merger of the 2 businesses would have created

a world leading market infrastructure group fitting end to exit strategy of being china anchored and globally connected h.k. x. has been the world's largest capital raising venue in 5 of the past 10 years but has been working to diversify its equity focus launching a bond trading platform and buying the london metals exchange l.s.e. is now free to go ahead with the plan acquisition of data and analytics group refund. time now for a quick break but hang here because when we return despite big recent rollercoaster the future of the currency may be brighter given the state of global economics cryptocurrency analysts bands one and rocky miller busy enjoying the show to delve into or protect wine and emerging there and as we go to break here the numbers are the. oh oh oh

. if you. mention. below because. of this connection to moment a lot of them should ask for the astrovan he had seen and done to this day for the

dutch girl who should. she. choose to shoot on disk in the. asian community. teach it mom. i know you care so said i'm not going to march to the mama just back. and. talk about one of the worst cases of predatory bank stirrers defrauding and abusing the poor and sick that i've seen in a couple years you know we have energy issue that many instances of bankers preying on folks and this is this is a this is really happening. the

british government says it is essentially impossible to make a brags a deal ahead of the october 31st. line is the e.u. sticks to demand to keep northern ireland as part of the us customs union the comments came following a call between the british prime minister boris johnson and german chancellor angela merkel on tuesday currently there are no custom checks on goods between the e.u. member ireland and the u.k.'s northern ireland both sides agree that this should remain the case however with britain's plans to leave the e.u.'s customs union the status of this remains in the air while mr johnson has called for a face to face talks between british and e.u. leadership european council president tusk issued a tweet very critical of boris johnson saying what's at stake is not winning some

stupid blame game at stake is the future of europe and the u.k. as well as the security and trust of our people you don't want to deal you don't want an extension you don't want to revoke quite a lot of. privacy coins now face an existential threat from a step up and regulation these include narrows the coin dash among others many exchanges are now delisting these assets rather than trying to figure out how to hear 2 additional risk management requirements for these coins but isn't privacy a fundamental right here to examine this issue and then others as crypto analysts fenceline and rocky miller of business in so rocky i want to start with you i guess is most appropriate question for you as the c.e.o. of that c.n. trading platform narrows the cash declined they had a cumulative market cap of $2500000000.00 and are some of the most liquid and valuable points precisely for the reason that they are private so that does not

automatically make them non compliant with f t a s so and yet you still have these the list is going on acquiring base and ok x. so what do you stand on the well you know allow private sequence to be traded. yes well we have exchanges you know such as ok x. delisting reader we also have exchange like buying instead of added 3 privacy coins to their lending platform so i think. areas still out a lot of the exchanges are reacting. you know reacting to what the regulations are going to be an erring on the side of being conservative from our perspective we're trading platform that connects to multiple liquidity sources so the the jurisdiction of the customer and the jurisdiction of the exchanges kind of decide what they're going to support and we aggregate that liquidity so if they're supported in the exchange that we connect to they will be provided on the platform so then on that i want to bring up. the u.s. congress is considering now more than 20 bills and one of them if passed this will

be the 1st time a specific crypto the pacha has been deemed illegal for americans at home or abroad to use the implications of this are huge as this basically sets a precedent for the banning of any other crypto in the future what's your take on this. i think it is exactly that i mean i don't think it's very surprising to think that congress would take a look at this because the the whole concept of what they've been mulling over for some time now has been how does the u.s. continue to cinching countries when those countries are moving toward creating and developing their own crypto currencies and there's been a fear about this for some time but you're absolutely right kristie that the bigger issue here becomes when when the u.s. government begins drafting laws that specifically target a particular currency and make it illegal and i think if you see it happen here specifically with the petrol which is an easy one i don't think they're going to have a difficulty because nobody in the u.s. congress is going to defend the petro if that happens and once that happens it

becomes easy to start picking and choosing which kryptos you want to make illegal as well and unfortunately that plays into the whole issue of cronyism and which crip those in which companies now work with regulators and with the government to eliminate competition what's made krypto such a vibrant spaces all the competition that exists there right now. so rocky do you think that could lead to usage of all the crypto is being criminalized in the us in the future. yes overdyed in terms of the language used in the bill i think the one that really struck me is that this is opening the door for a much larger investigation so you know the treasury secretary you know going to be working with the f.c.c. in the c. of c. on analyzing the general crypto space and digital assets and where they're being used to circumvent sanctions and. money laundering money laundering issues so i think that that that is definitely a much wider nest and with this investigation we don't know what's going to come so

yes there's definitely a risk that this will lead to others and you know as ben pointed out this sets a precedent for others to you know to come and we've seen this happen globally you know china has kicked out all the exchanges you know outside of its borders we at the same time talks of them developing their own national crypto currency so you know i think this opens up a big question for us is the benefit of a borderless you know currency does it outweighed the benefits of a national crypto currency that's that's controlled by a national government so you know lots of questions to be answered with this this bill is definitely big. it will be interesting to see what unfolds now they've been investigating and having questions for a long time now ever since 20171 of those 1st came out to them at least so now john and exactly brian armstrong the c.e.o. and co-founder of coin based tweeted out that he expects the u.s.

government to now react to china's stable coin project by reconsidering its ridiculous response to facebook's libra he said that he wanted the u.s. to you felt that the u.s. wanted to be left behind because they were completely obsolete in the future innovation and construction of digital currency so what is the outlook for libor now that paper has officially left the association. yeah i don't think the future for labor looks particularly bright right now and there's a couple of reasons for that i mean consider the 2nd part of what brian armstrong said there makes sense when he says the u.s. is getting completely left behind on this that's absolutely true and that's by choice but but it's obvious that that would happen because the u.s. having the reserve currency worldwide is in no hurry to change the monetary system around the world people who are involved in crypto want to see a disruption a revolution in terms of the monetary system not just here in the united states but globally but consider the fact the 1st thing he said which was that the u.s. government has had a ridiculous stance on libra libras not at all the same as what china's trying to

develop or what iran is trying to develop within israel has developed in the petro very different cases there where they are trying to form a national crypto currency that is essentially backed by their central banks libor is not that it is a fortune 500 coin essentially that's run by fortune 500 companies that wants to serve central banks around the world which i'm all for the central banks but not by a bunch of fortune $500.00 companies i will make a prediction kristie to you and that is this that in order for leverage to move forward if it has a chance you will see the liberal association come out and say that they are going to partner with the federal reserve bank to truly make it a stable coin because the only way they're ever going to get real backing for it is to include the federal reserve and the u.s. central bank into their planning of what ultimately becomes i suspect they will actually do that in the future some benefit as it stands on labor i'm interested to hear what you have on telegram because telegram has this great community of over

300 members and right now they're in development and will be launching their new ton infrastructure later this month so can a company that is so centralized also be decentralized at the same time with their voting infrastructure. i think they can be i mean if you look at what telegram is trying to do it's almost the end to of what facebook is trying to do telegram is is the other side of that coin that represents facebook and so much of what they do is decentralized including the systems that they've. devised for allowing apps to be created for allowing developers to the really learn coding in technology in a much simpler way in order to be able to build out you know their apps and their bought system it's pretty incredible stuff and it's all built upon the concept of the centralization that's what the the bottom line for all crypto currency must remain if it survives it must be about the centralization because we're to the user

and to the people governments don't want people to have that power big corporations do not want people to have that power but that is the power of the cryptocurrency and in its true form actually provide and it's the fight that's really taking place cintra control versus decent realization rockey real quick what is your take on the telegram i see do you think that it's going to be the apple app store killer now that developers can start building stores and merchandising and purchasing all around telegrams bought. yeah i think the telegram it's a it's a great platform they have a lot of usage stiffly one of the highest used crypto platforms so i'm really excited to see this you know this migration to the centralized apps you know the thing with our industry is it's only going to kind of come out of this you know speculate of cryptocurrency space with more usage so i'm all for adoption of real products by real people trying to live up to what crypto currency or block chain

was actually created to do which is decentralized. you know the spread of spread of wealth here benz one rocky miller thank you both so much for being here. thank you . and finally gamers around the world received good news on tuesday as sony finally announced the release window for their next consul the 5th generation sony's gaming system p s 5 will be out in time for the 2020 holiday season sony had already revealed that their next system will include an 8 core c.p.u. support for 8 k. gaming lower power consumption a super fast solid state drive for faster loading times and the much coveted feature of backwards compatibility with p s 4 games there is also the revelation that users will now be able to download specific portions of games that they want to play rather than having to install large portions that they may never even touch there's so much more that we don't know about the new console including the design and how much it will cost. that's it for this time you can catch boom bust on

directv channel 321 dish network to 80 or skimming 247 on the free t.v. at channel 279 or as always set us up at youtube dot com boom bust. say next time. paradise with some. turned into a round the experimentation field cultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on

the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there. it is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. in the age of trump what has happened to journalistic standards and competence in the media not long ago it was generally agreed that politics was the art of the possible now no one news narrative must prevail and all others must be vanquished there's a state of affairs to serve the public interest. with no make this manufactured sentenced to the public will. when the room in close is protect them so. when the crime and merry go

round lifts and we the woman. we can all middle of the room see. the real news is real. talk about one of the worst cases of predatory baxter's defrauding an m.p. using the poor insect i've seen in a couple years you know we have energy issues are many instances of bankers preying on folks and this is this is really happening.

in this community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask. and as a parent. i can come up with arguments there's a lot of conflict in the game between the 2 most of the conflict i would say. plus one of the children. is good because the state of california alone makes $6000000000.00 a year of prison complex you get so when you live where. you don't care. anything.
