using that information to build advanced artificial intelligence which will be used to prescribe treatment to doctors and for patients and remember this that over the past year no doctors or patients were told that their information was being handed over to google we have a lot to get to today so joining us here in the studio is the host of the news with rick sanchez rick sanchez got to have you here by the way he's also the founder of a managing care company in south florida that was recently listed as the fastest growing health care company in america by magazine and from new york global regulatory attorney myles edwards and miles i want to actually begin with you here because the regulatory agency looking into this deal is considering whether or not hipaa laws have been broken now we know this that the feds have required that medical records be digitized but that is not what's happening here in fact all the records that google is obtaining are already digitized so one you have the issue of the records being put into the cloud which already puts them at risk of hacking exposure but to google is collecting these records to build future business

products how does that fit into hipaa laws. well it does fit in the hipper laws and what's really interesting about this situation is the u.s. government is investigating them but it's a health and human services civil rights division which is investigating them specifically to determine whether this information will be used to make insurance to terminations that is when you apply for an insurance policy will something that occurred in your background influence that decision now in my opinion what they're building is what i call a life style index which is where they take your medical records and integrate it with all the other information google has ever collected upon you and determine whether you're a good insurance risk or not which is really going beyond what that information was meant for so not only is there a civil rights component to it but there's also a question of did it violate hipaa i say yes no one knew about this situation this

project nightingale until a whistleblower within the project basically went ahead and dumped this information on dailymotion and so what happened is there was no information that individual's records were being used in this manner no consent which why lights have and i would also say that the way that the information was used and stored and the security protocols around it certainly did not meet him yet that was the question is going to follow up with what we know right but the big question has to be whether or not consent plays a role here exactly so right that's the other big issue here and that's the other issue of a company like a google having access to so many records and connected social media health care history fitness all of these patients so are we looking at a potential future where insurance companies can access and these data and analytics and determine whether or not people can get coverage or are denied claims well let's try and make this a symbol as we can for everybody who's trying to understand what is incumbent upon

us as a doctor or a provider when it comes to medical record. that's the data that we collect from the patients yes doctors or doctors offices are allowed to share certain data but according to the 1996 law which established how that information is shared it has to be for a medical function in other words christie you go to see your doctor she gives you a referral to see another doctor and then your doctor sends your data your file over to that doctor because there's a reason for them to have that i see no reason in the world where someone would be able to use that dict of that information from that law to then say well if we're going to share with google which has nothing the hell to do with medicine so that's the real problem here this information is sacrosanct and it's being shared with a company which shares and collects data but then legally alive they are structured as a business with us here thanks and it struck me as a business associate to google that technology provider that is assisting doctors

with the information so they're an independent party thought that is a claim that they are not 0 and i get that but the point is and i think that you make a valid point there the point is this 96 law the way it's structured say just because they're your business partner doesn't mean you have the right to share information they have to be a business partner that then allows you to share because there is a specific medical function that's going to be served for the patient not for the business for the patient and i think miles would probably agree with me that seems to be what's missing here well and then miles to that point i mean isn't the part of the issue here the fact that we're looking at google not just delving into this part of health care that they're in right now right but they're developing a with this and i don't want this to be missed in this discussion because the ai component of it goes far beyond just collecting and processing information they're

actually building a new business model a new business tools of the future right so he. the question is with this a do we get to the point in the future where there there are machine learning that's telling doctors what they can and cannot do let's say the doctor doesn't follow that and now health insurance companies say we don't have to pay on that claim because you didn't follow what the machines told you to do. absolutely there is not enough health care professionals to cover the medical needs in the united states in fact health information data doubles every 73 days and you're going to use a to do diagnostic you're going to do this to develop tools to help doctors absolutely but what's going to drive it is this information this lifestyle index and it's going to determine who gets treatment who doesn't get treatment who gets insurance and who doesn't get insurance and this is what the frightening point about it is not only do i believe that google has violated helpful but they probably filed late

several state privacy laws as well you know by going ahead with project nightingale and you know can i can i say something here that sometimes gets lost and in this discussion the expectation of privacy that a patient has when he goes to a doctor is at a premium is so important the reason i would go to see my doctor and tell him something very private about myself but i wouldn't even want my family to know about me is because i have an expectation that that information is never going to get out the damage that we do to the patient and to our medical system if we allow this type of thing to happen is unbelievable in terms of what it could do down the line because it would mean that in the future i may not want to go to my doctor i'm going to get on a plane and go to mexico the next time i need a checkup because you don't have that connection and then lastly and i know we're short on time here but something miles said about state regulatory laws and rick i want to ask about this right you know illinois has this biometric law that

essentially everyone is getting sued for a video dr pepper we work every one sued under this thing because they don't get consent no one gave consent for this it's been going on for over a year and there's been no consent how do you do you get around the miles of most practices if you're a provider even if you just have let's say somebody working answering phones for exam. that person has to be checked out to make sure that they're not accidentally sharing information even if it's just wellness stuff so i mean most doctors go through this very rigorous process to make sure something like this doesn't happen and they usually get fined $4000.00 for one violation we're talking about $10000000.00 people here where their data was already filed with right will this is a major violation i can't see it any other way and miles i ask you his name thing then just very quickly go ahead. yeah and i just want to say there's no private right of action under hipaa but you can get a lawsuit under state privacy laws either for negligence or breach of

a you know imputed contract so what i'm going to start seeing is i'm going to see some class action suits happening at the state level for negligence against google you can have the state attorney generals come in as well and they're going to pursue this very vigorously as they have been pursuing facebook for the past several years real quick miles before we go i know we're running over here but did google know they were doing wrong here do you think simply by the fact that they kept it a secret they didn't tell anyone you didn't they didn't even tell doctors that they were doing this absolutely isn't that your answer didn't tell them doesn't back kind of you know there's a reason you don't say something sometimes i think it kind of. hints at guilt but then again i'm not a lawyer miles edwards and i am and i think so yeah yeah you guys very much on this thanks so much. thank you for your messaging app telegram has asked the new york

southern district court to dismiss the f.c.c. lawsuit against its graham cryptocurrency the f.c.c. previously issued an emergency t.r.o. to block the launch of the network arguing that telegram was engaged in the sale of unregistered securities when it sold its gram tokens now telegram is copying back to say refuting all the allegations made by the f.c.c. telegram claims that as he has engaged in improper regulation by enforcement in this nascent area of the law and failed to provide clear guidance and fair notice of its view as to what constitutes as a violation telegram has voluntarily engaged the f.c.c. to seek guidance prior to launching graham yes the f.c.c. has failed to provide guidance prior to bringing this in force in action furthermore the graham tokens constitute as a 6 commodity or currency not a security under the federal securities law as defined by the 4 factors of the how we test so this blanket treatment of cryptocurrency as securities without any meaningful differentiation as to its function and where utility is myopic and sets

a very dangerous precedent telegram said it didn't register with the f.c.c. because it's not required under the federal securities law as the $1700000000.00 sale of the grants fell under the exemptions to the securities act of 1933 where these tokens were sold exclusively to accredited investors the firm as the district court to deny the a c c's claim for relief and dismissed all claims with prejudice in the meantime graham has agreed to delay the launch of both the tongue and the tokens until after feb 18th when the next hearing is scheduled so it's already a significant delay but for people at home who are trying to make sense of this because it's very complicated part of what makes it so complicated right is the fact that the c.c. keeps moving the goalposts they keep changing how this works so one day they say well you've got to file this way because this is a security then the next day they say well that one doesn't count as a security that one counts as a currency and so when the f.c.c. can't even make. since of their own structure what telegram essentially did was

they said at this stage it's a security at this stage it will become currency correct exactly and what that furthermore the f.c.c. is actually take going back on its own words because there is precedent block one was actually dismissed on on september 30th of this year they launched their currency they launched it in an i c o for a $4000000000.00 in 2 170-2800 they launched it they went to a c.c. and the f.c.c. was like ok pay a $2524000000.00 fine and you're clear you don't have to take the tokens back you can still trade it and eos is now still operable yes but did they find them $24000000.00 and how much was raised $4000000.00 or when they were at is now a gram it was only raised 1.7 and really the really concerning thing is right now the f.c.c. emergency relief and this type of remedy is only typically due to ongoing fraud cases right and there is absolutely no indications of fraud anywhere in this entire thing there's a complete lack of consistency from the f.c.c. and from the i.r.s. when it comes to crypto and until they can figure those issues out i think we're

going to continue to see this all right what time now for a quick break do not go away we're pretty fired up over here professor of economics and author richard wolfe joins us he's going to talk about the latest stall in the u.s. china trade and the problem with us paul fiscal policy overseas. plus is it possible is it possible that china's central bank is actually looking at for you the cd as part of the digital point no way right now to tell you what those central bank authorities are saying about allowing anonymous transaction as we go to break here are the numbers of the club.

your government and our government and all the other major governments of the world know what's going to happen and when it's going to go but they haven't told you and they haven't told me they haven't announced. imagine something as big as the earth is going to cause tidal waves earthquakes volcanoes erupt and it's going to chill. so very for a while right. my great grandfathers. nobody would care about the law or prison so you'd have lawlessness should have. a terrible life between now and the.

you know world of big part of. lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. the tense situation in venezuela is still all over the news the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faced only implemented from the inside venezuela things are different we're going to announce sanctions against petroleum to venezuela associated. bonus will have a son of

a moment to think that absent that political battle so on the people who come up to the moment the focus of the who story isn't new makes him cold in henry kissinger to tell him that it would not be tolerated in latin america an alternative that konami and social system could take hold and therefore the policy would be to make the chilean economy scream so wants now making the economy of venezuela screed. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability. to accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability remand more equitable and sustainable world. they claim their production is completely harmless.

because. companies want us to feel good about products while the damage is being done far away this is something else this let's keep going to any means i'm. just i'm in unison we didn't demand einstein theme that he understood with who is going to. welcome back here in 2 words that you did not hear very often together china and privacy and yet china's new stable project appears to be trying to find a balance between regulatory enforcement and allowing for some privacy statement from the people's bank of china indicate the chinese authorities appear to understand the need for some privacy in the crypto space stating at a conference in singapore we know that demand from the general public is to keep an amenity by using paper money and coins we will give those people who demanded an

amenity in their transactions but at the same time we will keep the balance between the controllable and amenity if that such a thing and time money laundering c.t.f. counterterrorist financing and also tax issues online gambling and any electronic criminal activities so obviously $1.00 of the key values of crypto currency maybe its greatest value is peer to peer transactions as well as anonymous transactions though not all crypto currencies are actually anonymous some like dasher when they're all are but others can be traced. connected with users those who believe in the original role of crypto currency recognize the value of privacy and let's be clear here any digital currency issued by a central bank is not a crypto having said that china's central bank said it will guarantee cash like levels of privacy but admits that it will retain the ability to track down crypto users if it suspects illegal activity like money laundering.

while only a week ago the markets were cheering and roaring to new all time highs over a breakthrough in the 18 month long trade war between china and the u.s. today it looks like we are back again to square $11.00 with more downside risk as the market optimism has been now over extended president trump in a speech tuesday said that phase one could happen soon but warned that he was ready to raise tariffs on chinese imports very substantially if that fails trade talks appear to be stagnating again as china insists that trump roll back some of its punitive tariffs imposed after all china had agreed to repurchase of substantial amount of x. quid pro quo etiquette would dictate that china get something in return however trump denied rolling back the tariffs and instead is threatening to slash more tears right in time for the busy holiday consumption season so how does this all

going to play out the sense that we bring back richard wolfe professor of economics at the university of massachusetts amherst so professor in recent weeks we saw the balance of probabilities shift to the positive side and getting a phase one deal done but now after trump's speech we realize that nothing has changed risk is still on the table and you can't say a deal is close without offering any details on when or where it's going to be signed so in fact there's actually more risk now with it being so close to the holiday consumption season and the markets at near all time highs so quantify the risk for us and will the fed be there to support the markets and fact if failed. if one fails again. well i think you put your finger on it in terms of the risk actually getting larger it has been getting larger steadily across this whole event if you go back to the beginning trump promised that he would win the trade war and that it would be a short war it's turned out he hasn't won anything and the war keeps dragging on i

think there in is the clue when mr trump do it does his bluster and his threats this is theater theater for his political base more urgent than ever to distract attention from the impeachment and other problems that he has this cannot work with china he has done this already he has threatened tariffs he has imposed tyra's the chinese are not about to pay their they've shown that to us now for over a year today's financial times carries a story which clearly indicates that the damage to manufacturing in the united states is greater from trumps trade war even than it is in china and both countries are suffering so what you're going to have is a theater on or off rising risk for as long as the trumpet ministration thinks that the political gains for his reelection are larger than what he might

lose from upsetting the world economy and the american economy from the fallout of this war or you get you got to think richard that it's a bluff certainly when he's talking about raising this before the holiday season because they had threatened to do that before and then they pushed the date to make sure it wouldn't interfere with the holiday season if you want to make americans mad make christmas presents more expensive but china wasn't the only target yesterday the president also alluded to tariffs coming to other countries that quote mistreat us he criticized the new trade policies before november 14th deadline and this drop european stocks across the board on wednesday. so will the president do you think announced tariffs on cars and auto parts imported from the e.u. come november 14th or will he also have to delay this again at least past that holiday season. i think it's part of his theater in other words if he decides that cutting a deal of primary phase deal with china will get of a boost in the stock market and the pleasure of people whose income is

significantly drawn from stocks he will do that but he doesn't want it to look as it will to many of us as a cave in of a policy with charla that failed that's too dangerous for him and his base so if he cuts a deal with china you can expect to revoke up the noise with europe so he can continue this game of protecting us from other folks which is the see it or see of these trade wars so one will offset the other in order to get the best of both for his political calculation is only able to do that because he has the fed supporting them now we were able to talk about repose yesterday and the fed intervention in the markets in order to stabilize the fed funds rate and prevent it from spiking trained in the quick outs but then a funny thing happened today the fed once again lost control of the very rate they were married mandated this time in the opposite direction so we find effective

funds rate just out 1.55 percent just shy of the fed's lower bound target of 1.5 percent so right now that the fed have any credibility now in maintaining control. well it's showing that it has less and less you know we're coming off an unbelievable unprecedented time in american history since the crash of 2008 the federal reserve has pumped more new money into the economy than we have ever seen before in a comparable period driving interest rates to below 0 which we haven't seen before etc etc all that money think of it as sloshing around globally because other central banks have done similar things so it can't control all of that money because it can move so quickly nowadays from country to country from securities to hard goods and back and forth and so it's kind of always a little bit too late too little at the party it doesn't have the control and the

reason that's so important and i commend you for underscoring it is that we'll all suppose that that endless money if it starts to create inflation that the fed can then will step in to hold that back what you're seeing in the repo market is evidence that confidence of the ability of the fed to do that is misplaced. and so adding to the u.s. problems with monetary policy how about this you know the dollar is being dropped by china india and russia as a means of payment in fact as you know that's the whole point of bric nations right brazil russia china india south africa what they have attempted to do is create systems to go around the u.s. dollar is this just an inevitability even as the fed continues to print that world reserve currency of the dollar will soon go away or at some point go away. yes i think this is an inevitable process the russians the chinese and others have been talking for you weeks and months and indeed in some cases years of wanting to get

away from the universal dependence on the dollar the americans keep thinking they're the top of the hill they can keep it going forever. we now have clear evidence that they are offering an alternative and given the power and growth of the chinese economy their involvement alone is changing the balance and the impact on the american economy of the declining role of the dollar internationally will be profound and is a major issue in the years coming up professor richard roth thank you so much for your time thank you well tesla has announced that it will build its newest vehicle factory in berlin tesla c.e.o. elon musk made the announcement on tuesday saying that its new gigafactory for about that for a name would be built in berlin near the new berlin airport musk who by the way is in germany for an award ceremony and says that the new factory will also help to create an engineering and design center in the city if you follow tesla you know

that musk had originally indicated that that new gigafactory 4 was going to be built in the u.k. but musk now says that uncertainty from bragg's it was the reason he chose to place the factory in berlin instead i doubt that's true but what many people don't know about berlin especially here in the united states is that even though it's germany's capital it is also home to as a 2018 article in time out dot com calls it quote a mind boggling number of abandoned buildings old military camps former factories and enterprises hospitals swimming pools colleges senatorial airfields and more. well i don't know if it's going to fall fall victim to the berlin curse of abandon factories but let's just put it this way ilan musk has abandoned his own products many times before so he's went on from tesla to solar city to hyper look to the boring company space x. how many companies how many projects has he abandoned it's true he'll fit right in

that's it by this time you can catch us on track t.v. channel 321 dish network or streaming 247 on live t.v. the free t.v. ad tell us his i mean or as always have us up at youtube dot com slash boom bust our t.v. and movies so you're back here. the

head off isis isn't decapitated but delta guys aisha ideology is still there. regrouping they have sleeping cells not on the hit in iraq but then syria too so we have to did with this problem actually fall to our long term eyes was bin ladin was the copy david but that was all true to him so i think a certain logic applied to this terrorist organization which have a global god to the. time after time called her ration to repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important to excel or transition to sustainable transport sustainability stay number man on

a more equitable and sustainable well. they claim that production is completely hama's. it. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something i'll just keep going to any minute i need money and since i moved in unison we didn't do any minute and i'm stunned. understood superman in. the field.
