sounds like they were talking when they were negotiating the deal it's not the way you sell when you have a deal done right you should be walking out now and saying all right here it is folks the very very specific terms of the agriculture is a big part of this right and we know that as part of this. administration had said they wanted $50000000000.00 in additional agricultural buy in from china for 2020 that would have doubled the amount that they were supposed to be getting more than they got in 2017 they said they wanted that if you watch other business shows today there say you know the deals done but what makes this show different right is we're looking for facts there is no evidence so far that i have been able to find that or maybe that you have found that indicates that that actually has happened right right so neither side has actually confirmed the u.s. trade representative's office or overlay heiser released a statement in that statement nowhere does it say what that figure it looks like as far as more agriculture $15000000000.00 that's a huge number like you said $27000.00 that would be more than double and that's

that's not something that we even know could actually be possible i mean china also said they would be buying more agriculture but they did not give a figure so it's still very unclear and looking now at the farmers who have been suffering and really hurting since the start of this trade where they're looking to continue to sell their products a subsidy from president trump isn't going to change that they want their clients back they want their business they've been hurting so badly right now they want to continue to be able to sell but again we don't know if it's going to even be possible to do the sale of $50000000000.00 that supposedly is the united states wants china to buy rights trump needs the agricultural part of this more than in i think he needs the intellectual property more than he needs the rest of the reason for that is he has an election obviously coming up right and you want to make sure that farmers are on your side you can say look i've got a great deal for the farmers one of the problems he's been running into is that the farmers have been hurting you have soybean farmers in this country who can't sell their products and who have crops that are literally rotting the president's response. so that has been tariffs and then he says out of those tariffs on one.

part of the problem with this president is that he the way he views money all right and for right or for wrong he views money in a way that says i need to just cut a check to people because in business that's what you have harmed do i make you whole with the check but that doesn't necessarily work in the agricultural case we're not at all because they're losing long term clients they're losing supply chains that have been built in the past decade that have now been separate they're losing relationship ties because just putting a check that pulls you over for the next season what about the next season you're still not going to rely on that check forever you need to make sure you have those clients and right now those cars are going elsewhere to source the soybeans and i'm going to ration right now. i mean is generation to go to pass this thing down and i want to bring it back a little bit to the actual deal i have something to show you where we kind of put up what the u.s. concession looks like and what they're trying to concession looks like this is like you said where you're going to get your facts through the united states like you've . been and we've repeated that 25 percent on $250000000000.00 worth of chinese

imports will remain the september 1st tariffs of 15 percent will be cut in half to 7 point 5 percent and the additional penalties that were set for december 15th this sunday will completely be removed. tweeted where we got that information but let's look at the chinese side now this includes purchasing of more agricultural strengthening laws protecting foreign companies operating in china intellectual property theft and providing more transparency around currency movements but again no specific details intellectual property theft has been the core one of the core issues at this time from the strain of the from the start was of course china saying that they will they will work on they have some something in the agreement that discusses this we want specifics we want to know what that entails and if the united states really happy with what their side of the agreement is saying can we put that graphic up for just one second because i will leave it actually on this but i want to show you on that graphic on the chinese side if you look at it there is not one specific thing. china has conceded too that we can point to and i'm just

saying on the day when you say the deal is done we've won we are declaring victory this is wonderful for all of us it would be nice to see at least one specific and we don't have one yet and it looks exactly like what we had already on the table in march so we could have just saved ourselves 9 months i know i feel before and i don't know if i mean we have 2 weeks off to this year this probably won't be signed this year and we're going into the election year like you said mr president needs the farmers so we'll we'll see what happens but i'm sure you 2 will bring us. closer ones as they look at things so much remain on the on your time. australians want us airways chose airbus over boeing as a preferred aircraft manufacturer for jets capable of the world's longest commercial flight from sydney to london and this deal which includes up 212-835-2000 air flights with flight times of up to 21 hours cements airbus as the global leader in ultra long haul flights quantize looks to begin these flights in the 1st half of 2023 but it's still subject to

out service will break down whether the feds have a case and zimbabwe's president says while the country's currency isn't working the nation isn't going to go back to backing from the u.s. dollar so it's krypto the answer and as we go to break here's a number that the clothes. i had a spiritual experience. and i had a little girl that died in the fire cynthia collins.

we're looking for reaching. 54 years old and 21 years on good hard. karma didn't commit. to that he was innocent. but nobody will. always put much for. me or have him guilty or that. was. not true people. are true to me there is room for germany i'm so. something. i knew she was there and i knew exactly what i was doing. people lie.

and sometimes there's no explanation. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront let it be an arms race in spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks particularly population. were forced to flee their homes. these attacks was a p.r. you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants in the burning of the streets in belfast at the take

more than a 100 innocent civilians were. seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent. to which the solution was involved in some of those cases they killers would lead to be named. i think it went to the very very top i think it is. the water where. you. give the go ahead. and we're going to fulfill the repeated promises possible to the people and promise to be you know we've all pots to. be. pretty rough.

now you want to. know. all. the. telling. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. thinks

. we are to ask. welcome back facebook stock is down is the federal trade commission is considering filing an injunction against a social media giant over its plans to connect its whatsapp messaging service with the chat features of instagram and facebook as i said the f.t.c. is only considering the move because the injunction would still need to be approved by a majority of the 5 person commission and then a lawsuit against facebook would have to be filed facebook and other tech giants like google amazon and apple they have been under increasing scrutiny over whether they've taken actions that are eliminating competition in their respective markets there are also been a number of presidential candidates who are pushing the idea. up big tech companies so i know you're not a fan of that look i don't necessarily think that this is the kind of thing.

antitrust you know applies to so what if owns what's up in instagram and facebook and they don't how are they called into the market by combining exactly they're really not and that's why i believe this is actually a very unfair attack on facebook and i and again i'm no fan of face rather they have had privacy issues a tremendous amount of privacy issues but the fact is that all they are doing is a volcano social media company they're not just going to stick to one thing they're just not going to be a facebook platform for ever they've evolved evolved into a streamlined chat they've evolved into photo sharing and that's why they want to just combine and merge all these services and make sense of the process of evolution but why does the f.t.c. even allow facebook to buy instagram and to buy what's up into one company if now they want to break it up if they merge the technology that's the part that doesn't make it so it really does and. some obvious president. vowed that the country would not revert back to using the u.s. dollar after the new local currency that was introduced this year plunged against

the u.s. dollar is a dollar has now lost 61 percent of its value against the u.s.d. and analysts expected to weaken even further as the government scrambles for the u.s.d. to pay for imports of grain following the severe drought economists' businesses and opposition have accused the government of rushing to reintroduce is a dollar without properly backing it with foreign currency reserves given the scarcity of foreign investments in the country the resulting shortage of u.s.d. to pay for imports has led to fuel and electricity shortages crippling businesses and important sectors of the country such as mining now cash shortages rising fuel costs and hyper inflation of 440 percent emphasizes and wobblies need for a currency that is immune to government influence to say that zimbabwe's government has mismanaged the nation's fiscal policy would be a massive understatement as we find ourselves now in the exact same predicament as in 2008 where hyperinflation reached its climax. in november hitting 79.6 trillion percent now unfortunately for zimbabwe the governments have banned foreign

currencies and made it extremely difficult to obtain crypto currency as well unfortunately if nothing is done to resolve this hyperinflation will ultimately result in the transfer of wealth of citizens to the government. struggles really highlight the need for big point or a different alternative the centralized currency in the country as a citizens have been disappointed time and time again for putting their trust in the government now to give us more we bring in eric wade editor of the capital so despite being down from the record highs of december 27th teen large cap still had a great year with bitcoin up almost 110 percent year to date meanwhile the s. and p. year to date is only up 26 percent so given these results why are so many asset managers and wealth managers in the us now still claim that kryptos is not a real asset and is not a sound investment. well i think that the big thing that holds a lot of people back is just the volatility and the. investors have

come to understand extremely high volatility is just part and parcel with this different asset right and setting aside the fact that a lot of a lot of professional investors maybe their charter doesn't even allow them to dip their toe into crypto currencies but i think over time we're going to see more and more of them try to adopt maybe a looser charter we've had. recently there was even a. publication by yale that said adding a little bit of this different asset class even though it has high volatility of crypto currencies adding it into your portfolio can even work to reduce how much volatility your overall portfolio has right so it's just a matter of time until professional investors see maybe if i can work with the volatility. instead of have it work against me that could even actually help my

returns in the long run but going back to the issue of zimbabwe for instance you're absolutely right volatility is clearly an issue with crypto whether you're all in on crypto or not we all understand that but when you look at a country like zimbabwe i mean they're in a position where volatility is the result of central play that it's the result of what government is doing there and this is now multiple times of the government has decimated the savings of the currency that belong to the citizenry doesn't. stand as a great example of where the. currency control by the people it couldn't do worse could it and that's what how to. yeah absolutely zimbabwe is a great example but part of the problem with that would be. currencies come with a lot of technologies that work together and decentralization is just one of them and i think there's a lot of central banks that are that are tempted to maybe cafeteria plan this right to just pick and choose where we want this aspect of crypto the fast transactions

and the low fees but we don't necessarily want decentralization which means that we're not in charge and you can't really expect to get the benefits and the results of a well run decentralized cryptocurrency if you don't bring that decentralization with you when you adopt it doesn't make any sense at all so now let's look at china china is also facing some problems with inflation they're going to start trying to test out their digital r. and b. this year when inflation hits record 7 year high at 4 and a half percent so china has been confronted with multiple trials and challenges amid this ongoing trade war with the us and now in our to counteract those problems china's central bank decided to pump into the system in order to stimulate the economy the p.d.s.a. at the same time also now start trials of this digital r. and b. ad sense at the end of this year and next year so the 4 major. they own commercial banks 3 leading telecom operators as well as far away alibaba and tencent they're

all expected to participate here so the question is will this be a successful launch and will it be able to successfully while it's a relation crisis or will it still doesn't help the exact same problem being essentially back. yeah that's a lot of yeses to that yes it will be a successful launch the next question you should ask is successful for who and it will be successful for the central banks maybe more so then anybody who relies upon cash for their business because what they're trying to do is they're trying to replace the cash part of their currencies the piece that we carry in our wallets or that we handle someone when we buy a cup of coffee and they're trying to replace that with a crypto back to type of currency so it won't change the inflation whatsoever and any bad habits that they have are going to come straight over with that but considered a successful launch because they're going to eliminate the paper bills in the callings and switch it all over to digital but that's not going to change their

inflation rate one bit. eric wade editor of carroll thank you so much for being here. absolutely glad to have. you know before we go to the next hour just to his point i mean zimbabwe venezuela there are multiple examples that you can give right where government central planning has not worked with currency so why not see a lot of example in turkey as well as our turkey and as well as all the south america countries in there as well all right as we wrap up today we want to finish with a story that frankly left it shaking our heads this week east scooter company unicorn have you heard of them well they have officially shut down so you're not going to hear much they have lost all of their investors' money and they have not produced a single actual scooter even though it pre-sold $350.00 scooters at $699.00 apiece. customers received an email from the founder nick evan saying that he was

very sorry and that he was trying to sell unicorn's assets to offer partial refunds isn't that kind of him adding quote we have fortunately do not have the resources to deliver your unicorns nor are we able to provide refunds as we are completely out of funding end quote so where did the $150000.00 in start of capital and nearly 200 $50000.00 in preorder money go it went to facebook and google ads payments for loans and quote my favorite other expenses we know what that means somebody is getting paid the email from evans claims that unfortunately the cost of the ads because he's blaming facebook ads were too expensive and to build a sustainable business and if that is not ridiculous enough for you how about this the company had not posted on facebook or instagram since june 20th but then 4 weeks ago wrote on its website that it was on track to ship scooters on december 15th adding that customers would have their orders in time for christmas and hanukkah you asked me earlier you said what's the other do you order one of those

where you so angry about this no but this kind of story infuriates me because they knew they were out of money they blew money on facebook and google ads which i don't believe by the way i believe that what they absolutely did was spend the money on loans and and all the founders got paid and not one single scooter can get delivered not one of those. is ridiculous it's not like this is an entirely new concept there have been scooters are ready and you go into any manufacturer budge and you say this is good i want to build it for me it really doesn't take that much time stealing investor money because that happens a lot right now investors know when they go when that things can fall apart but selling preorders on a product and then not delivering any of them i personally believe that some kind of criminal charges should be filed here because it feels like fraud it does feel like fraud and embezzlement that there was a lot of personal gain in here they make money and you get nothing. unfortunately that happens a lot and you see a lot of these deals on it and you go go and have all these sites ask for crowdfunding answer. well that's right that's over this time you can catch a boom bust on direct t.v. channel 321 dish network how to 87 on clear t.v.

bed you know much worse objective listen today but there was an expectation the things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shape by the 10 principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solidarity engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no i'm jones to one set of rules for the rich opposite set of rules for the poor. that's what happens when you put her into the hands of a narrow sector of wilf which will is dedicated to increasing power for itself just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america.

you know world big part of the law 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 truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.
