we have a stick. and. i would vote for a republican i would vote for anyone not you and. your defeat. in the future yeah. yeah my 2nd wife. she could handle it all she and i did worse because our trouble is what the president and i voted for him and she touched and. most important election. you know history list of the months to go before the next presidential election is the atmosphere in the us i. want to the highest priority thank you i'm still eventually they do next. just some of the questions we please remember.
12:31 pm
this is boom bust the one business show you can't afford to miss unfair montecito in washington coming up the rate in new unemployment claims may be leveling off but congress and the white house look to be stocked yet again on a stimulus plan to continue to rise across the globe due to the pandemic swine flu and unpredictable weather will tell you what this could mean for those who are already struggling to get enough to eat we have a lot to get to the law that starts. we begin today with jobless claims as u.s. unemployment fell just slightly for the week ending on october 3rd to a fresh pandemic low the u.s. labor department reported initial jobless. 840000 worse than expected showing the
12:32 pm
labor market is still experiencing a slow recovery while the economy is still growing it's been a gradual comeback as concerns rise over another wave of layoffs without another federal relief package still some 25500000 americans are collecting some sort of benefits so for more on this and the overall state of the economy and markets we bring in boom bust co-host christy i t o a pentode portfolio strategies michael pentode michael let's start with you unemployment claims they remain high and came in worse than expected 840000 americans filed for these jobless claims and on top of that the number of people who have been laid off permanently is a growing how long before we can get to pre-code levels again. that's a great question i guess a lot of the bands on the virus and the staircase that are coming out and who's going to take a vaccine that was developed at hyper warp drive anyway my hope a vaccine works these are going to be long but reused ursulines and take it like
12:33 pm
seeing that was developed in months when it usually takes years but listen there's 4000000 people who are currently unemployed that's how they classify themselves we're still limited 1000000 jobs eloped 3 pandemic levels and if you are here until there's a 100000 businesses that have permanently closed their doors so unfortunately it's going to be at least 2 years we're getting back to we were and by the way that's if you believe the prescription drug bill. and is liable economy comes from all rolling trillions upon trillions of dollars in truth you know all right the number we're looking at still it's lower than a 1000000 that we were seeing at the beginning of a pandemic but it's still pretty high it's just over 800000 still closer to a 1000000. why ringback are we still losing 840000 people i mean we're supposed to be underwhelming route to recovery by the way if you look at continuing claims including and. unemployment assistance we're 20000000 people there are still
12:34 pm
seeking don't. and this should not be the case we're an economy that is supposedly in a violent recovery just not james well it's definitely not the case christine meanwhile after pulling the plug on stimulus negotiations the airline industry is looking for a 2nd bailout the hotel industry is looking for stimulus as well and president trump he recently revealed that $13000000000.00 farm bailout is their hope that these little sector specific stopgaps will even be enough. i don't think anyone thinks that these stopgaps are enough and frankly it's a big waste of everybody's money and time because the situation that we're in is kind of like pushing a joint or miss boulder up the hill you exotic keep on exerting force the entire way up and you get somewhat up but the moment you let go it just continues rolling back out again and we're in the same situation so these little stop gap are far from enough and it's actually
12:35 pm
a waste if there's no follow through action to actually get the entire way back to recovery so the market today is once again got a little overoptimistic that there could be potential stimulus plan but the lawmakers continue arguing we just heard from palosi that she is not supporting these little stopgap measures and these little quick cash injection it's definitely not going to be enough for the airline sector because what is it actually going to do just tie it over for another 6 months but then after that we're going to be in the exact same situation in the exact same boat once again because the the main problem is that demand hasn't recovered yet so these small targeted bills they won't really do anything it will only create the illusion of work and progress that something is getting done in negotiation but the reality is that this is going to be a significant negative for the economy so there'll be a lot of stress for those who are not going to get the funds so the logic behind these very specific bailout is really flawed when it comes to the bigger picture
12:36 pm
it's interesting is to say that these these markets are reacting to the hope of the stimulus when we just heard nancy pelosi i want to play you a clip of what she said earlier today that she won't support a standalone relief bill without a bigger bill take a listen i have been very open to having a standalone bill for the airlines or part of a bigger bill but there is no standalone bill without a bigger bill and some of these issues we have come to some area of agreement but some of them we have not but they have walked away from the whole package nothing is agreed to until everything is agreed to that's the way it always is. so it's all or nothing here michael you heard what christine just said do you think there is any possibility now for more stimulus especially in the in the coming weeks is there there could be a standalone bill but there can't be a standalone bill is for the bigger banks i mean i'm confused i don't know i don't know if you got that straight but i'm confused let's say you know the chance that
12:37 pm
this is a very big stimulus bill being passed as americans are heading off to the polls by nancy pelosi is almost no she does not want to see donald trump signature on $1200.00 stimulus checks again and find the real objects richie's again as they're hearing a lot of holes it's just it's just not going to happen there i guess if you can you know imagine maybe there is a stand alone bill for an airline but you know a lot of this reminds me of. the member of the big trade deal that we were handed you don't negotiate you don't want to loan you know you know there was a good if you trade deal waters it was rally and then trump says you know we're holding all we're like oh sure he's going to china and all american business should be let in china and then they're in the market tank the rally because oh i didn't really mean that trump said you know we're really to go shooting at the other day we got a big gigantic i mean deal and the chinese are even filling their obligations so
12:38 pm
i mean i expect the same thing from the trade deal as we're getting from this you know negotiation and guess what the deficit with china is greater than it was greater today than it ever was in history well and it's over 5 months of these negotiations that they've been going on this back and forth they were so quick to make to put out a stimulus really fell back and may or months ago and now this is just a lot of back and forth meanwhile the american public they're struggling christine the market seems to still be green despite the fact that there's now the increasing chance that no broad based help will leave it happen before the november election and weeks away how is q 4 going to turn out as washington leaders are start an impasse. well basically i think the recovery that has kind of lived by stimulus is now just going to die by stimulus or the lack there of the market is still rising on the misguided optimism that there is work and there's progress continuing that
12:39 pm
some sort of skinny deal might get passed before election but even so that will not be enough because billions of dollars as mike just said are based siphoned out of the economy due to this lowered jobless ben benefits and we're going to see thousands of business closures in the coming months and probably the worst holiday retail season in over 12 years so it's going to be difficult to put into exact numbers how big this impact is going to be but we're definitely going to start seeing the facts of the lack of stimulus within the coming months this 26500000 people receiving some sort of unemployment benefits they're going to be seeing a reduction of that that's going to translate to about $15000000000.00 a week in disposable income so without that strong middle class consumer that has been basically propping up the economy since 2018 we're going to see a really bad q 4 michael i want to get this last question in before we go a recent paper published by senior fed economist and deputy director of the bank's financial stability division kiley said that the fed will need to monetize deficit
12:40 pm
equal to 30 percent of g.d.p. or $6.00 trillion dollars now the fed has already purchased a record 3 trillion dollars in bonds in march that basically means another 3.5 trillion is needed those are some insane numbers we're looking at here are we just now caught in this vicious cycle where more and more stimulus is needed to avoid a complete collapse. yes. i think that's the case the national debt is now clinched $27.00 trillion dollars deficit is just going to be down to $23.00 trillion dollars all dues monetized reserve should be 0 says or what the deficits don't you know the next gen years will be $1.00 trillion dollars all that has to be monetized about federal reserve and if you think you're going to build a viable. why or when you're drifting not just america or the developed world it's not just americans we are being told to get the developed world is being held together by rubber bands and. or efficiently lowered interest rates by the way the
12:41 pm
only thing i remember is you don't remember if i say today the only thing is holding your face low is the fact that they can get away with a lot of that there is no inflation once the sheep there are goals we really start getting in trying to building in this hole or the sure it is. well especially it with more stimulus and there will be a road to a longer recovery interesting after the chairman is saying that don't there's no risk in overdoing it it doesn't seem like that's the case 5 tools they want to use and will follow it up and see what other tools are going to bring about in the next couple of months boom bust co-host christine and michael pentode president and founder of strategies thank you both so much for breaking this down for us. investment banker morgan stanley announced it will acquire asset manager vans for about $7000000.00 in a cash and stock deal 38 percent premium this goes along with morgan stanley's plan
12:42 pm
to double the size of its asset management unit c.e.o. james gorman said asset management has been on song hero inside camp morgan stanley we felt it was in a position to do something and that this was a natural evolution the news comes one week after morgan stanley completed its $13000000000.00 acquisition of e. trade on thursday vance shares soared to 48 percent on the news while morgan stanley rose 1 point one percent the deal is expected to be completed and 2nd quarter of 2021. according to china of the corona virus has all but disappeared in that country however another issue that could lead to catastrophe has emerged food scarcity while china is trying to face the problem head on the danger. far beyond its borders the art. dorie it's a ritual that can be found most anywhere around the globe. family and friends sitting down to share a meal although corona virus may have cut down the social aspect of dinner in many
12:43 pm
parts of the world in china the middle itself has also been chopped beijing is in the midst of a clean plate campaign while people are being told to finish their dinners and not to waste any food some restaurants in china have gone so far as to dish out how servings from cutting down on portions to saving leftovers for later the people of china are being told not to waste a single ounce of food while people seem to be cheerfully going along with the agenda a harsh reality looms food supplies are down and prices are up 13 percent year over year to be exact there are number of factors at play the nation has been hit hard by the african swine flu which emerged in china in 2018 cutting its pig herd in half millions of pigs have died or been called due to the virus a popular source of protein has soared in price in china by 135 percent since
12:44 pm
february floods and droughts in the country have also affected food supplies making china more reliant on imports from places like the u.s. and australia both countries that currently have tense relations with beijing and of course there's coal the 19 the virus has disrupted food chain supplies around the world bringing us to the fact that when it comes to food scarcity china is not alone through shortages are affecting countries globally rich and poor alike all around the world food prices have gone up in the past 12 months due to the corona virus pandemic. in the us that equates to a 4 percent rise in the cost of food during that period it is also reported that in the united states now $1.00 in 5 families do not have enough to eat a fact pronounced by growing lines up to banks around the country on the other end of the spectrum or poor nations with ones experiencing by a once being the most in danger in many places the pandemic coupled with conflict

12:46 pm
have some british lawmakers are going to see a ban on the company the appointment of break down the allegations and tell you which competitor may have the most to gain as we go to break here the numbers after the fire. was. i make no certain you know blood is just blood into nationalities. you. know so much the we don't actually know the whole world to. judge a. comedy crisis was listening to my times we can do
12:47 pm
better we should. everyone is contributing each or own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges created with the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. there's a threshold at which. big tobacco realised what they were doing and that they continue to do it they continued to put more and more things into cigarettes that made them more addictive and made me want to smoke more of them in the point i'm trying to make is that social media in particular these artificially intelligent algorithms are doing the same thing.
12:48 pm
as the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people. you can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of it is that we're not financially quantity and i'm not going to be counting on living minimum wage many people know. there's been a problem with the city. limits on an older stay where i don't notice. the food that there is no answer because yes that requires resources. to vulnerable or abandoned on the streets to become invisible comes. a new report out of the u.k. claims that british authorities have found clear evidence of collusion between
12:49 pm
telecom company wall way and the chinese government and light of this testimony the british parliament defense committee has called for an accelerated removal of wa is equipment from the country's 5 g. network so let's get details on what is happening and bring in a bill that's co-host and. juan and jeffrey tucker of the american institute for economic research than let's start with you give us a rundown of what this committee says it found. so this whole talk about evidence that they found proof they found is that really they're essentially what they have is a bunch of telecom insiders venture capitalists who came in testified before this committee and essentially what they said was we know that the chinese government has given money to walk away in order to build it up one venture capitalist said that over the course of about 3 years of the chinese government put about 75000000000 dollars into wa wait now does he know this for sure he claims that he does but let's say that it's true $75000000000.00 has been poured into weiwei he says in order to be able for that company to sell its technology at an incredibly low price point which
12:50 pm
is the law. had to kind of outbid its competitors ok that can be an accusation in and of itself but here's the problem sara is that that accusation has nothing to do with the accusation that is supposedly keeping while way from being able to do business and build out 5 g. in the u.k. and in the us and that accusation i would remind viewers is one that the chinese government has back doors built into the way systems that allow them to access data on the people who are using that equipment and on governments as well the fact the chinese government may or may not and i'm sure they are i have no doubt that they are at some level putting money into what way does not necessarily mean that they have a technological access to be able to compromise that equipment that is the claim that has been made but we still to this day have seen no evidence of that claim then it sounds a lot like something we've talked about this time time again like something we heard back in february when u.s. officials also came out and said that they had evidence as well to report that
12:51 pm
while we did have back doors and that they were a national security. national security threat however we never saw any of that data we didn't see the report they didn't really prove it even if they had it which they could have but they didn't come out and they weren't transparent about it jeffrey why executives they weren't allowed to testify before the committee is this just an example of where the investigative body then just starts with this conclusion and kind of works the their way into to make the evidence fit. it's clearly a political attack and thank you ben for laying that out so carefully and precisely this is a new front and a war against this company that's been going on in the basically the us is trying to shut down while away and i can't believe those words actually came out of my mouth because it's from my perspective a complete disgrace for the u.s. to be doing this this is you know that while it was like a star company and the new free enterprise oriented china and a real wonderful american style company and the u.s.
12:52 pm
thinks that they're just going to wreck this digital iron wall all over the world that's us in the u.k. now apparently and yes as a brand new front you know on the on the matter of back doors yes there's never been any evidence but i just want to add here that for 20 years the u.s. government's been trying to create back tourists our. american technology to include that struggle continues today as for industrial subsidies i mean between really we're talking about industrial subsidies i mean u.s. is as the pioneer in that respect and it was it was it was trump himself that you know upped u.s. agriculture subsidies and just a year ago it been forcing china to buy all of our wildly overproduced grains soy and corn and so on so i mean it's just an incredible thing to see while we accused of all this the sins of the wrong way and the chinese government accused of all the sense of rich u.k.
12:53 pm
in the us are are the prime examples of committing those various sins around the world so yeah this is the duplicitous and very strange and probably ultimately protectionist attack on and on a great global company that we should be cooperate with right that they are leading in 5 g. development we've known this and repeated this time and time again i just wish that again if they actually had the evidence both now the u.k. and the united states they came forward and showed it to us and that's really the key. then on a separate inquiry by the british parliament's defense committee and to u.k. tidy security published there is a it's about a 2027 timeline term move here from networks is sensible but at 2025 time i could be considered under specific circumstances yet so the goal here is just a push of the time and that's what this entire hearing was about this entire subcommittee investigation which i would have air quotes around investigation because it's not a real investigation you brought in a bunch of really nonscientific people to log new 2 accusations against weiwei so
12:54 pm
that you could push of the timeline of removing that what we technology again from existing telecom operations but i want to remind people of this you know i don't i don't doubt huawei on some level is probably compromising our data i don't doubt that at all the problem is that so example so is samsung so is every entry operating system in every phone out there and so my problem is the lack of consistency when you are in the us government and you say we must protect data they're not saying that they're saying we must protect you from wild way while letting you fall susceptible to big tech companies that compromise your data every day and by the way the u.k. australia and the united states all of them wanting to move to the lesser companies in terms of the leading the way on 5 g. nokia and ericsson i would remind viewers that both of those companies are co oh and by national governments those are not even private companies they actually have
12:55 pm
on their books national governments owning big large chunks of those companies so while we may have funding from the chinese and i don't doubt that the chinese would probably compromise data so is everyone else so either we clean it all up or we don't pick out one company and say that one company is wrong what everyone else is right for doing the same and the united states it's like being our i'm washing my hands here and it's ok for us because we are your government so please trust us but it's not ok for china to do it jeffery. the reality of the pushback against wa is when one company is held down others actually grow we we're seeing that now samsung said thursday its 3rd quarter profit likely jumped 58 percent to more than 10000000000 dollars this is the highest in 2 years as u.s. restrictions on china's weiwei boosted the south korean attack giant's phone and even chip sales isn't this idea of holding one company back while others grow completely contradictory to free market principles. there are always winners and losers with every kind of a government attack on the free market to start done on behalf of national security
12:56 pm
or much less your rights to your property and bins exactly right i mean americans have every reason to be extremely worried about their compromised data which we are actually really see it happening all the time as it was google in the us at tech companies which i could tell you one way is not a threat i mean if any of the like i mentioned before i had a lot of friends of mine who had already bought weiwei phones because they have a reputation for being more secure than then anything else available on the us market but now they're being deliberately attacked this is contrary to every principle that america is supposed to stand for and i tell you as an american there is nothing more chilling than to turn on the television and see chinese communist government officials. proclaiming the glories of free enterprise sincerely and with a look of of horror on their faces that this is this is happening they went slow free enterprise of free trade and innovation the who attacks them but with the us
12:57 pm
which was once the the model for the world in individual initiative and human flourishing and and tech not technological development no more well it doesn't look like this will be going away anytime soon so we're going to continue the conversation jeffrey tucker of the american institute for economic research the west coast offense on thank you both for breaking it down for us. as we've quickly transition. and to zoom and other video calls for morning meetings or a school g.p.u. maker in a video says their new technology can fix some of their biggest bugs using the new invidia maxime platform users can use powerful graphics processor is on these clouds in order to boost call quality fix your gaze cancel noise and they even provide live subtitled translations on top of that it reduces the ban with needed for those of us with spotty wife i connection so at this point you can't by yourself but look to see if major players in the communications world take
