purpose of. this is that one does not show you can't afford. to washington coming up the 1st phase 3 trial judge 19 vaccine and underway in the united states we have an expert panel ready to what that means for the economy and the billions of dollars invested in the top 10 between the united states and china leads to the closure of the consulate is adding to the uncertainty of future cradle escalations shows today so let's go and get. the largest trial for a potential kogan 1000 vaccine began on monday when my journal started its trial 130008 plan volunteers helping to touch shots under the partnership with the u.s. national institutes of health volunteers will either receive a real shot or. a placebo after 2 doses scientists will evaluate the results to see

if it can prevent symptomatic coven 19 of the 1st test site to begin vaccinating is in savannah georgia and a total of more than 70 testing sites will be used across the country well phase one results published earlier this month showed the vaccine was generally safe and had only mild side effects this included fatigue and even muscle pain well the center for disease control and prevention says it typically a phase one study consists of a small number of people to see if a vaccine is safe and elicit an immune response well phase 2 is an expanded and a vaccine is given to people who have characteristics such as age and physical health and similar to those for whom the new vaccine is intended and in phase 3 the vaccine isn't tested for efficacy and safety well normally it takes years to create a new vaccine scientists are working at a record pace they're really just hoping to have an experimental version available for health workers by this fall. as of a journey of x.

scene which now leads the way in terms of development the senate republicans have one week to get another coronavirus stimulus bill done before unemployment benefits run out a lot to get through today so to help us break it down we're joined by jeffrey tucker editorial direction and to toot for economic research and who must co-host an investigative journalist but swan let's start with the latest on madonna and this vaccine we know that 3030000 people will take part in this trial but what do we know about how this trial is being conducted. there we know a couple things you did a great job of breaking down here how this all works and the reality is mcgurn is not the only one doing this for you sir is very close they say they're conducting their own 30000 person trial that's a lot of people to be testing these vaccines i do want to say something about mcdermott when you look at mcdiarmid they obviously have a relationship with the national institutes of health that is different than other indices and the reason for that is because. the in i h.m.o.

durness signed a contract back in december that contract was to begin studying coronaviruses not this particular strain but coronaviruses in general and developing essentially. artificial r.n.a. sequences that could be used to create vaccines it's somewhat questionable it's never really been done before but dern is the 1st to do this so they're doing it in partnership with in the h. and i think you know when you lay that out right now those 3 phases of vaccine trials there's actually a phase before all of that that happens before you get to human trials and that's animal testing will do and actually skipped over that step and that's a highly unusual thing it's not illegal but a highly unusual thing to have happen so the fact that they're now entering this massive human trial i think there is some people who are concerned others are hopeful well it's very interesting because timing is of the essence with this jeffrey we know that even if these trials are successful it could take until sometime even next year before an actual vaccine hits the market we talked about it

being an available to health care workers this fall but it really would have had the market to possibly next year to really to really keep the economy moving forward again is this what it's going to take to reopen the full economy and get it moving to where we saw before. rewriters are immense challenges in production and distribution mass destruction of these things you know we saw even with testing that we've seen the us has been done a horrible job it destroyed in tests i mean even now as for actually very difficult to get tested and some of the tests don't come back for 7 to 10 days so there's this immense challenges and distribution but but you're right to the men in the political class who decided that we're just really never going to become a normal country until we have this vaccine and let's be clear this isn't like a smallpox vaccine or a polio vaccine that lasts a lifetime this is really just an immunity booster that last for for an uncertain amount of time and to tell you the truth i think there's a lot more public skepticism towards you know what ben said is the base of in

untested immunity booster than than the political class believes and even the flu vaccines are not taken by as many as 4040 percent of the population takes those things every year and it's can be very difficult for these things to be to be widely distributed should be decide on believe there will be not for a very long time but on the other hand there is a kind of a psychological boost that comes from this you know if the markets really believe that the policies that are going to open up until we get a vaccine is going to be very good news well that's exactly what you mentioned the importance of this that the distribution of it how whether or not people are actually going to go out and run you know with to get in line to get this vaccine is another issue and the fact that they skipped over the animal testing much like ben mentioned it is extremely important just the expediting of the vaccine how safe is it and in terms of ok short term effects but what we can look at some long term damage is that we won't see for years that i want to ask one more question though about wondering how the company's stock actually tumbled on thursday after the

company lost a patent battle with that actually made up or as a financial future of its vaccine well what happened and why is it such a big deal you know essentially there was a hearing on thursday and most. unsuccessfully they argue before us patent trial court and this was the company they were suing its patents held by or brutus biopharma covering limpid nanoparticle or l. in p. technology in short it is technology that allows modernity to create their particular r.n.a. 1273 that is the strand that they are using in the vaccine the reason this is important sara is because it is that him or in a way that modernity is using to create an artificial vaccine this is very important for people to understand well during a is not using corona virus to create a vaccine they have an artificial strand that they have created using m r n a in order to say instead of using the actual virus will do this artificial one it

will be safer at a what's your system and cause spike proteins and that will cause immunity but what this lawsuit essentially shows is that will join it does not hold true patent on this neither does the and i h so in theory if will durant were able to create this vaccine they would be the only ones who would be able to create it it's important there and can i say one more thing it's important to remember this pharmaceutical companies have never been slow about creating drugs the idea that suddenly because there is a desire for a coronavirus vaccine that everyone says oh will suddenly work faster i think pretty much big pharma has maximized as quickly as they can make a vaccine so the idea that we can suddenly do it now because of sheer sheer will power doesn't make a whole lot of sense yeah definitely interesting to see how this all plays out but i want to shift gears here a little bit jeffrey we know that increased unemployment benefits from earlier this year are set to expire later this week senate republicans they announced and one

trillion dollars stimulus plan is about to extend them but to lower the amount from $600.00 a week to $200.00 is that even fair to workers. that's a different what's fair westray i don't know you know a lot of people been made made unemployment unemployed by governments themselves i think of humble of a lot of workers point of view they're like i didn't want to be unemployed so somehow the political system owes me money to compensate for what the lockdowns did to me and i completely understand that on the other hand just from an economic point of view pain people not to work is is a very bad idea and it's and what is actually doing is rewarding the political class for these regions lockdowns to keep going on and on and on so what the republicans may be thinking is ok listen set of eyes people to go back to work and then they'll put a little more pressure on the political leaders to open up the economy so in a sense it's probably strategically pretty smart even if it does seem a little bit unfair than

a quick answer here but what else is in this plan well yeah there's a couple things they want to do another round of 1200 other stimulus checks nancy pelosi is not going to sign off on this deal though i don't think she wants a 3 trillion dollar stimulus and democrats want to keep the $600.00 checks the problem is republicans have a very short goal line between now and november it's difficult to say we're going to cut that that unemployment from 600 to 200 even though they should because what jeffrey said is absolutely true the political class is essentially saying you can make more money on unemployment or just keep sending checks to people and we'll make them happy democrats said they want to do it to the end of the year i think democrats win this fight and it would be ideal if people would just prefer to go back to work which i'm sure many do but they're definitely that you know are making more money off and up a lot if you make more money yeah i think that really exactly well and also a lot of jobs have been destroyed a lot of people just can't go back to work right. and who knows what that's come back especially of people who for example work in restaurants or in hospitality

that who knows to what extent or when it will come back to that 100 percent like we were saying before jeffrey tucker editorial director with the american institute for economic research and all of us co-host than salon thank you so much for that report. thanks. the latest tit for tat battle between the united states and china now includes the closure of consulates in each country with officials accusing the other side of being in the wrong will this as questions around the future of u.s. china relations and the massive trade deal between the 2 countries are to reach a level joins me to discuss the latest rachel what is china saying about this closure of the consulate well beijing has confirmed that they chose to close the u.s. consulate in their southwestern province in retaliation to the u.s. decision to close the chinese consulate in houston texas now a spokesperson for china's foreign ministry spoke out and he confirmed that not only are they saying that they believe the u.s. is in the wrong here but they're also accusing the trumpet ministration of violating international law take a listen. would you wish the premises of the chinese consulate general our national

property of china according to the vienna convention on consular relations and the china u.s. consular treat you the u.s. cannot invade the premises of china's consulate general in houston in any way china expresses strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to the intrusion into the chinese consulate general in houston. now after this announcement china essentially gave american workers 72 hours to vacate the property altogether and we did see a very heavy police presence there so it doesn't appear that either side is backing down right now it doesn't and it really looks like it's this tit for tat like we saw for nearly 2 years with the trade war but what reason is the u.s. giving for the closing of chinese consulate or their consulate when u.s. is definitely not backing down here and they are saying that they are actually in their right with international law where this is concerned they say that it's their duty to close down this consulate because they believe that beijing is not

following u.s. laws and regulations now we did see a little bit of a statement released by the state department in which a spokesperson claimed the decision was made to protect american intellectual property and the private information of its citizens but didn't really. we provide any further explanation or information for that closure well here we are now in the tit for tat going back and forth once again after trade we saw with the tree we're now we're seeing it with with the hong kong national security bill we're seeing it with the closing of consulate which is the latest where does that leave the u.s. and china relations in the future well it's no secret that we've seen increased tensions between the u.s. and china over in recent months and secretary of state my pompei o is even saying that every attempt at the u.s. is made to sort of engage with china is a failure and he said that in a speech where he called on the rest of the world to join the u.s. in sort of putting more pressure on china to take a listen oh yes. it's kind of engagement we've been pursuing has not brought the kind of change inside of china the president nixon had hoped to induce. the truth

is that our policies and those of other free nations resurrected china's failing economy only to see beijing bite the international hands that were feeding it we open our arms to chinese citizens only to see the chinese communist party exploit our free and open society. now as we've seen washington post my mom's accusing beijing of hiding information about the coronavirus and the future of his landmark u.s. china trade deal still sort of appears up in the air so not remains to be seen how all of this is going to affect the deal in the long run well it really will especially because again there were so much that went into that deal months years of negotiations and details to get everything even the details in writing there were issues with the language there were issues with the details of what was going to change and when it finally came out it was a huge deal for phase one they were hoping for that phase 2 by november obviously the crowd of various pandemic changed everything china is now retaliating the u.s. is retaliating the u.s. is pointing fingers at the alleged mishandling of the pandemic from from china and

i was secretary pompei are now saying almost a clearing sounded like a cold war against china so it really will be interesting to see what happens between now and november and if we elect a new president what that even looks like because i know joe biden has also been very critical of china because of bipartisan issue so we'll keep following it rachel blevins r.t. correspondent thank you so much for that thank you. time now for a quick break but stay here because when we return safe haven assets like all that even bitcoin are on the rise the breakdown of what may have investors hiding from these risky markets as we go to break here the numbers of the. dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells their

a new person and they are turning move 100 gandhi a new normal gunned. down the phrase high spirited ignore you then go to mock you then damon join you. on monday oil dropped as the rising number of coronavirus cases continue to stall commercial flights well the tit for tat us china rising tensions also contributed to the drop as investors thought safe haven assets like gold which hit record highs on monday well to break this all down we're joined by. and c.e.o. of my calvin e. financial group david makovsky chrystia let's start with you benchmark brant crude prices have risen 120 percent from their april lows they remain above $40.00 a barrel but with these new spikes in coronavirus deal is it safe to say that oil

markets have recovered well in the interne you can say that yes well prices did recover and they stabilized a bit certainly compared to when they were negative but the recovery might not continued as it is because the oil is now getting hit from both sides on the supply and the demand side so on the supply side opec implemented unprecedented cust in order to stabilize prices back in may they will soon begin to relax their restraint and begin pumping more north america as we've seen they've already began increasing shale production as fracking crews are getting back to work now so you have a lot of increasing supply coming online on that side versus on the demand side that's also going down because china had a record purchasing sprayed back in april when prices were rock bottom so china began by oil and has now eased off ever since their inventory has increased 28 percent since may as it took advantage of the sale in the oil markets so meanwhile here in the u.s. the summer driving season is shaping up to be extremely extremely weak because

vacations states such as florida and california they're seeing a surge in coven 1000 cases so they're limiting travel boles driving as well as air travel and demand for both gasoline and jet fuel so flights are now only accounting for 50 percent levels since the start of the year and traffic is still. only at 40 percent since the beginning of the year so demand has really towed if not decline without china's participation so that's going to weigh down on oil prices going forward you know if they were going to continue to see that david now following the closures of the consulates that we just talked about in houston and tendu investors they're increasingly worried about the escalation between china and the united states are we seeing a risk off rotation or is a smart money still trying to chase alpha at this point. i think there's some smart money sitting the sidelines seeking something of a safe haven in gold and in physical commodities like but i think one of the things that we have to be cognizant of is this is the challenge with the chinese government which goes back quite a long time the 9 dash line defined what this in gauge would be and so when we

think about the spratleys in the terrorist cell in this car bush all these are all areas of a potential containment from the perspective of the west and potential expansion from the perspective at least in the chinese so this is i think a very critical thing we are entering into the equivalent of a cold war with the chinese and trade was one iteration of that and now we have our own aircraft carriers in the south china sea so yes the with with the. houston and inching do it's more of the same we're a long way from a solution there which brings about current tremendous amount of uncertainty in terms of politics and geopolitics especially because we're looking at the world's 2 largest economies and now kristie during all this market and certainty it looks like is pulled ahead of the other alternative safety after that it reached over $10000.00 what's going on there yeah this is

a super exciting because bitcoin just broke there is $10500.00 resistance hey its highest in over 10 months on the back of heavy volume so markets i continue to capitalize on very bullish sentiment as a fall it's a pain assets such as gold such as seller and this really shouldn't be a surprise move right now. because we're entering a period much like what david just said a period like the post great financial crisis and moment where gold prices soared to record levels as a result of the fed just printing and pumping more money into the system the u.s. dollar just hit a 2 year record low and analysts are starting to think that this is not going to end the dollar decline is only going to get worse and this is going to plunge into new depths that is only going to take the american standard of living down with it so meanwhile you see big rise and you also have a theory i'm also starting a new cycle as well because in recent weeks the tall value of the d 5 platforms has risen from 1000000000 back in early june now to over 3800000000 as of today so the new d 5 boom is also contribute to the additional interest and quiet as both areas of

cryptocurrency they're kind of mutually supporting each other so you have a lot of tailwind on the back of bitcoin you have the old resistance now becoming new support you had the macros the entire flight to safety with the conflict in the china and the u.s. and you have the oncoming d 5 wave well david year hearing all of these big coin going up gold surging is this really people in the public just placing distrust in free markets and more so and commodities are precious and i don't know i think i think the real issue here is dollar stability and currency stability in general if you look at the r. and b. today trades lower along with the dollar trading lower you would ordinarily see some sort of positive action when you're merging market currencies and within the euro and the british we're not seeing that today so it's very interesting it's very telling that i think what gold is telling you is that there are market participants that don't like the idea of 5 trillion dollars in money monetary. call it

what we used to call it monetization of debt we can call it you read today we can come up with a fancy name for it but that monetization has had an inflationary inflationary element to it and so this is. something the market practitioners are very keen on $800.00 trillion dollars in fiscal spending globally 5 trillion in global money printing by the world's central banks this is the p.b.s. single this is the b.o.j. this is the e.c. this is the fed and the market is saying we don't like it we don't like it so as christine was saying. telling you something i don't know what exactly because i'm not an expert there but there is an opt out there is an opt out from this system of money printing that has gone wild and gold getting to all time highs today is probably the clearest signal of what we have on the horizon for at least the next 6 to 12 months all this stimulus. we're keeping an eye on the federal reserve meeting

coming up on wednesday christi obviously because it is reaching its new year highs again are we going to see some some economists analysts are predicting we're going to see it go up to 20000 is that possible well we've been predicting that benchmark for many years now but i think one of the key things is we're going to see a growing participation of people adopting this as david called it i think it's very smart an opt out and opting out of the system because we're seeing trust in fee government backed currency we're seeing trust in that at an all time low so once you have the trust and banks going that low keep are going to flock to things like gold such as bitcoin because they are the alternative assets well you must co-host christine and david mcavennie mcavennie financial thank you both so much for your time and your insight today. and finally it appears to talk stars will soon have an avenue to make money as the company behind the incredibly popular social media site has set up a $200000000.00 fund intended to retain top talent and they're also attempting to

attract new content creators in a statement released thursday the company said the program will be used to help support ambitious creators who are seeking opportunities to foster a. livelihood through their innovative content well before the fund with the stablished tick-tock stars had few ways of monetizing their accounts they could actually only make money through brand partnerships and live streams much like we saw on instagram not too long ago while applications to enter the program will open in august to be eligible users must be 18 or older live in the united states and consistently post original content online with tick tocks terms of service while they did not mention how funds will be distributed the social media did say money will start going out to the users later this year well that's it for this time you can catch boom bust on demand on the brand new portable t.v. app which is available on smartphones and tablets through google play and the apple

like voter suppression building more prisons you see gerrymandering all sorts of democratic practices are well in the world we're well into. well there's no question the could because. the thing is that when you have be out money printers in charge the act of printing all that paper money to hang around eyes themselves really fills their head with be out dreams of it's be out supremacy that's the ultimate form of supremacy is i print therefore i am and if you can control the lovers of political power with their free out money if you can acquire assets with their feet of money it gives you that god complex that we have so much of around the world and countries and big corporations and now it's all going to come crashing down.
