5:17 am
the movement could put an end to a damaging 2 year long economic dispute between the major powers level purports from new york. well at the ceremony where the deal was signed launching phase one of the agreement donald trump was rather boastful about this accomplishment this is what he had to say today we take a momentous step one that has never been taken before with china toward a future of fair and reciprocal trade as we saw in phase one of the historic trade deal between the united states and china. together we are righting the wrongs of the past and delivering a future of economic justice and security for american workers farmers and families i want to thank president xi who is watching as we speak can be going over to china in the not too distant future. now at the press conference donald trump was very critical of china using language similar to the language he's been using for
5:18 am
the past 2 years as the trade war escalated for decades american workers farmers ranchers manufacturers and innovators have been hurt by the unfair trade with china forced technology transfer and intellectual property theft have been huge problems since china joined the world trade organization 2 decades ago we have racked up nearly 5 trillion dollars i promised that i would use every lawful presidential power to protect americans from unfair trade and unfair trade practices unlike those who came before me i kept my promise as a result of today's agreements some of the planned tariffs that were going to be imposed on china have been dropped and others have been lowered however much of the tariffs that have been imposed on china over the past 2 years the cost that basically cover roughly 360 $1000000000.00 worth of goods most of that remains in
5:19 am
effect now the hope is that when phase 2 goes forward of those tariffs will be dropped but that remains. mains yet to be seen the main source of you know the main part of the us economy that has been impacted by these tariffs has been the agricultural sector there's been significant losses due to the tariffs there's been significant decreases and the u.s. and global markets have certainly been affected as well now when the deal was signed we heard from china's vice premier and he seemed optimistic but his words weren't exactly as glowing as the u.s. president says you don't over the past 2 years do science encountered some difficulties in the economic intreat fields at times there were set backs in our tree talks because in some issues we don't see eye to eye so at this point donald trump is saying this is a huge breakthrough this is the next step forward some are looking on with

5:28 am
our guests they're called heterodox economists are heterodox financial analysts because they often fight the fed but my question we're going to look at these headlines and my observations of some of these charts over the past decades or 2 is . what came 1st the chicken or the fed so is it the fed driving markets or is it panicked investors driving markets if a 4 quarter earnings recession couldn't undercut the equity market why would anyone think a spat with iran would do the job it's all about the fed precisely the new york fed which injected a massive $77000000000.00 into the system to start the week this is david rosenberg who is one of the people who tried to fight the fed and the fed keeps winning with markets rising i explain this all in the last show there is only 2 major. reliably predictable unprofitable mismanaged industries in america
5:29 am
hollywood and the defense contractor industry the one that takes half of our taxes and for them to keep getting more money from us the taxpayers are going to drop bombs everywhere they do it willy nilly without any thought about what they're doing whatsoever they had a few it commercial airlines i don't care and then the fed prints tons of money and then they go blow it again and that money printing leads to the stock market going higher which makes everyone think they're geniuses and that the god like and that see our strategy of bombing innocent people makes sense really just a crock and print more money and then the fed accommodates of course because we do so for national security and the stock market hits a new all time high that everyone gets really smart and think oh my genius i'm making so much money was go bomb more people go kill more civilians in school submersed olders print more money and then the stock market goes i or that's the cycle that we're in now it's called genocide for profit it's school of america. well of course one thing the fed does and why you shouldn't fight the fed is that
5:30 am
it is moral hazard they encourage so imagine when you were a little child and every time you did something wrong instead of getting sent to your bedroom and bouncing your bed across the room or anything like that you know you were given a ice cream cone or you were given some sort. increase in your allowance every time you did something wrong every time you accidently burned down the house or something like that you were rewarded for it rather than punished and that's what you have now is like any time there's bad news 1st of course you know gold spikes market selloff for literally a minute or 2 and then they soar quickly when they realize oh wait what am i doing i'm thinking like the olden days before alan greenspan before there was the fed fighting the investor speculator class so now they whatever every time there's bad news is always when markets soar them.
