i think they're watching or you watching been are watching. or. this is one business show you can't afford to mess i'm rachel robinson in washington coming up businesses across the country react to the latest fad lines from the t.v. you see but how many are removing their masked man based on the world a feeling that she was vaccinated and is it what you can see an ounce of the creation of the 2nd largest media company in the industry so how is the market reacting to the proposed merger between one media and discovery that point they re

money was you on you'll speculation over his holdings on twitter what does it all mean for the future of the world's most popular cryptocurrency we have a lot to get to so let's get started. major businesses across the country are reacting after the latest federal guidelines from the c.d.c. said that fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear a mask indoors or outdoors target trader joe's wal-mart costco and starbucks were some of the 1st to confirm updates to their mask requirements for customers leading the way for a return to mask free shopping but there are a lot of questions still looming including what happens in areas where cities or states have not updated their mass guidelines so joining me now to discuss through my co-host and investigative journalist ben swan and geoffrey tucker author of liberty or a lockdown jeffrey let's start with you here so the c.d.c. updated their guidelines without much warning how long before cities and states

catch up. well i think they're very cut up i mean even massachusetts which is the worst states in the entire country for restrictions and stringencies has already sent out a release saying you know that's what i'm asking public so i know for the rest of the country that's nonsense same like you know getting you know. you shift i was in a wal-mart. that's not a and. so there's a huge sea change in the public people are tired of these things are throwing them out now you're right in the sense that the the companies themselves are slow to adapt these policies which are sane even to young employees like what wal-mart saying that you can get rid of your masks i think in a couple of days provided you've had a vaccine now. that's created a weird situation in which the customers don't have masks the employees all do which is which is a way of broadcasting clean versus unclean like

a caste system that's actually extremely dangerous the c.d.c.'s announcement was not for everyone it was only for the for the for the vaccinated which you know children can't get back since so it means they're continued to be masked in schools so it's like an unfolding there's this crazy logic about vaccines the science didn't change was the c.d.c. is politics that suddenly shifted for i would say politically expedient reasons and now the rest of the country is scrambling to adapt well there are certainly seemed to be a lot of questions and it seems like even with the more statements we get from this anything we still have more and more questions about what that means for the american people and how they're supposed to adapt now ben one of the biggest questions here is how do these businesses know which customers are vaccinated and which are not. well you don't know i mean interesting lee and to jeffrey's point over the weekend larry hogan who's the governor of maryland was interviewed about

this and one of the things he said is that in his state about 3 out of every 4 people have been vaccinated who are adults well 3 out of every 4 problem is virtually no one carries around any kind of proof of vaccination so when you now put all the responsibility on to businesses sam's club wal-mart target starbucks and you say to them it's up to huge determine whether or not you want to allow masks or not the problem is that there is no way of being able to do this and run a business successfully so i went through and i looked at every one of these companies as kind of initially rolled back the mask mandate and what they're all saying is basically the same thing it's an honor system right if you are wearing a mask or not we're in a mask the suits me we're just going to trust that you're doing so because you've been vaccinated great ok but they're still in force men and that there's no way of knowing there's going to be someone standing at the door of the publics as you walk in and say she's we have even vaccinated you have proof because 99 percent of the people out there wouldn't have proof and so you're going to alienate immediately

huge numbers of your customers so i think what's about to happen here is you're going to see a freak out on the part especially of totalitarian who want to continue to control who is doing what and who what to utilize masking as an incentive to say if you don't get the vaccine you must wear a mask like a pariah and that whole argument going to fall apart on them because you can't make businesses and force this because it simply doesn't work and so i think it's a good day for those who say the masks were injured in the long time ago it's a bad day if you want to continue to enforce this policy by forcing people to get vaccinated because it's just not going to work well and it's interesting for a lot of those businesses because i know we've seen countless viral videos out there over fights breaking out between you know these minimum wage employees trying to enforce these math mandates on cars right here you come in and say we're not going to do it so for some. those bigger companies they maybe thing as a less pressure on them you know to kind of put that out there because i know that

some of the statements have even said to be a fact if you're not vaccinated we ask that you were a mask you know and so kind of putting it out there and now way but at the same time we know that a lot of people are getting vaccinated and you know jeffrey the share number of people who are getting some sort of vaccine in many states really is remarkable but said ben's point the vast majority of people don't carry around some kind of vaccination card now at this point is it impossible to separate people and businesses based on vaccination status. it isn't possible to worsen those unscientific i mean that i mean assures here's where the real outrage is and if i could just put it very bluntly all of the science for a year has concerned multiple occasions like to hundreds of studies and i could cite all of them that natural immunity is a real i mean we've known this for a 100 years if you have covered and recovered as have had you know like maybe a 140000000 americans probably vastly more than that 150 maybe more they all have

very robust comprehensive long lasting immunities and that's been confirmed over and over again so what's strange and actually look ultimately discredited about c.d.c. is announcement is that they only consider valid forms of munni that is you know comes from a shot you don't not that which comes from national muni's or to some memories or crossed immunity some of the corona virus is so i mean they're. denial of the science and basically the c.d.c. seems like you know they're just shilling for the vaccine issue which again is fine some people need vaccines that's great but every competent epidemiologist i know says it's ultimately crazy and unscientific exists is not. so the idea of a vaccine passport or you know how going to cast is to be fed

a vaccine you're free if you haven't had them you have to keep asking about this flies in the face of all the evidence that science has worked so hard for last year if you can go and strip and i know that goes back to the fact that any kind of vaccine is not a one size fits all solution and it does raise a lot of questions for those who have either built up a new unity or who have their doctors telling them that it's not recommended for them specifically now ben before we go i want to get into what the c.d.c. is doing here and i have to ask you about the speed with which this agency has changed their status from recommending face masks indoors and outdoors to suddenly saying no more face masks are required how do they get there so fast well i think jeffrey said it before it's all politics right there is absolutely no change in terms of the science though we've looked over the last year there's been no change at all there was nothing to say oh all of a sudden we now recognize that there is no need for these indoor and outdoor masks because of blame because of a study because of research because of the science no none of that it was simply

a tell you what it really was it was an issue of on the internet and throughout the the news media there is that a debate going on about whether or not vaccines actually work because if they work why are you still wearing a mask that debate starting to rise up was getting working its way into washington we now had lawmakers starting to ask questions about it and still the bite with ministration has been prompted to essentially push for a 2 tiered caste system of saying those who are vaccinated get to be free and those who are under x. in a did you don't get your freedoms back until you were vaccinated that was the real push and there's been a lot of talk about this that the by going to the straight should have bungled their opportunity to kind of force people into this and so the c.d.c. suddenly turns around and now says oh yeah now we know that you don't have to wear it which of course is nonsense because you know all of this is a fit and to jeffrey's point. natural antibodies every study that we're starting to see about that indicates that people with natural antibodies have higher levels of

antibodies in people with. and i'll certainly be interesting to see what businesses do and of course what the c.d.c. continues to say from here on out buns lawn jeffrey tucker thank you both for your time and insight on this 1. 2 of the largest media companies in the business are coming together to form one massive enterprise. plans to merge warner media with discovery on monday this marks a significant reversal for the telecom giant as it comes just 3 years after 18 t. acquired time warner and $85000000000.00 deal the latest deal would create a new business separate from e t n t which would be valued at around $150000000000.00 including debt shareholders for 80 and she would receive 71 percent of the company's stock and discovery shareholders would receive 29 percent while the move is being seen by some as a way for 18 t. to get out of a questionable acquisition it also creates the 2nd largest media company in the

industry ahead of netflix and n.b.c. universal and right behind disney meanwhile inflation concerns continue to weigh on u.s. markets so joining me now to leading the shell snyder partner and director of trading research and education for the market gauge group now michelle let's start with this new merger i know we've talked a lot about how much tech stocks have struggled in recent months so how is the news that agency is planning a major competition for netflix and disney having an impact on the market right now . well when netflix reported earnings that's really when they started to run into trouble because the numbers were already starting to shrink in terms of the number of subscribers that they were looking for going forward and they were talking about raising prices so the fact that there is this tremendous competition now coming from a t. and t. obviously does not bode well for netflix or disney which both fell but so did the

stock. discovery and so to the 850 stock fall while some of the tech stocks actually fell not as much today for other reasons which i know we're going to talk about so what's interesting to me in terms of the whole sector of this streaming services is the timing seasonality wise we're getting to a point now where people are coming out and actually what's interesting is the stocks related to movie theaters actually rally today so it's almost like i think they may have to still sit through some storm here as we get through the rest of the spring summer in the fall and that maybe people start going back indoors for winter but at this point now in terms of the overall tech i think there's a real separation between what the streaming companies are doing and netflix and disney 18 t. and what the big tech are doing the air really looking more now at year olds and the inflation numbers and what the fed says this week yes certainly and it's interesting to see especially for those streaming companies how they have had so

much reliance on the over the last year and now we kind of see people wanting to go out a little bit more and maybe not staying home watching netflix quite as much as they would have in the past ok now looking at the markets overall there has also been a big focus on inflation and with the latest report showing how consumer prices are increasing while the global supply chain struggles to keep up the message from federal officials continue to continues to be that this won't last for a long are there are more concerns among investors than the market is letting on right now. well i certainly am concerned as one who was trading commodities back at the last super cycle of inflation which i'm almost embarrassed to tell you how many years ago that was i saw the stretch between the ratio of equities to commodities were at 100 year low so forgetting about everything else for a moment just in terms of that type of ratio you knew we were getting close to

a point so now enter the pandemic so what is the pandemic do supply changes struction the labor force but on top of that a lot of the materials had cut back in production to basically hedge against a glut and now we have a short supply roll which you will you can't just create them they take a while to mine or grow depending on what you're looking at and the supply joined us ruction now get some point is need itself over time as people start to come back but at the same time it's going to take a while now i think to really cycle through and get back to being able to produce some of these wrong materials so the short answer is i think transitory is very much going to be defined by the time frame and i think we could be looking at at least a year to 2 years maybe 3 before we start to see production come back and alleviate that short supply with the high demand ok so speaking of sort of the messages that

we've been getting from the federal reserve i'm trying to keep everyone calm we know that we're also waiting on the minutes from their latest meeting and they're set to be released this week is there any chance of the fed raising interest rates or making significant changes to their policies that are different from what we've seen over the last year. well of course there's a chance but if you think about the situation there and probably read many of my top 3 unfavored jobs they have right now would be out of the drone power king of the federal reserve because he is really in a tough spot if he even intimate it's as raising the rates with the economy coming back but still relatively fragile and then there's still the question mark of what happens after we come back to keep growing then he really puts the not only on economic growth but he also put it on the markets at the same time if he doesn't rise we're seen with gold and silver particularly crazy today he's really taking

the chance of inflation getting out of control so i'm going to be ready to see what he says but i'm expecting him to keep it sort of low key and still use that word transitory. michelle snyder thank you so much for your time. thank you rachel. time now for a quick break but when we come back big calling falls to its lowest point in the room months so how are still latest pleas from you on the lack of an empath was attached to that and as we got a break here the numbers at the club. hi folks joe name of here and if you're on medicare this is important you're now

called the feeling of. every. period. and you get it on the old the old. according to josh. come along for the ride. but coin is down nearly 30 percent from the all time highs we saw just last month amid new criticism from you all must. go fueled speculation about whether he was

planning to sell off his company's $1500000000.00 investment in the cryptocurrency before simply trading quote to clarify speculate. has not sold any big calling so joining me now to discuss the host and crypto analyst christy i already kristie how is the coin community reacting to these tweets from you on must i mean is all of this price action because of him. you know well even want a controversy so and now he's paying for this entire p.r. stunt by must has just been 80 arctic iran has basically doubled down on endorsing something like a 90 insult as a father basically a little joke and claims to be working with this nonexistent development team and integrating the cryptocurrency into space x. so let's be clear was a joke it's a mean coin that no one took seriously because it will be fun even i didn't create

it didn't work on it contributed absolutely nothing to it except his influence and followers basically like champion their diet drinks to get sales so he championed those quiet while criticizing it quite so when hot as host peter mccormick called musk the perfect troll so his very poorly informed criticism of mine while support for something as useless as one it really touched a nerve with moscow out of more fuel to fire so he tried to rebut asking the community if they've ever heard of pay pal to kind of a search of superior understanding of money but was then once again silenced after michael saylor of micro strategy who answered him by highlighting the differences between pay pal and bitcoin stating that the world needed to be centralized security flay share a store of value much more than it needed a centralized less secure inflationary medium of exchange so now there's actually a kitchen for him to actually sell his quite holdings so there's

a petition on change dot org that's currently gathering signatures to make iran divest himself of his personal stash of quine laos of bitcoin community of not having it and i know it wasn't surprising to see iran must get into big choir and what was surprising has been how much weight you put behind coin all of us basically trolling the entire and the street he's a giant troll i can't think of a more perfect word to describe it. a lot of questions about how he thinks that that's going to work for him in the future but ok one of these concerns that he says that he's bringing up about bitcoin is related to energy consumption would you say that's a legitimate concern. so i think this thing about energy consumption that's also bull because that's clearly not a concern of getting that he's building rockets like actual rockets that spew huge plumes of c o 2 carbon so that copper in the last night has chlorine alumina although very

severe compounds there mean there's also trace amounts of various other harmful gases and particulates that let's just stay on those main ones that come out of that iconic sorry plume on the lauch so all of those gases nitrogen oxides sulfur oxides and carbon monoxide those are kaloogian so much of smog that we have chlorine alone and nitric oxide that destroy the ozone they also cause acid rain which is really bad for marine life and cheese and basically anything letting then you have c o 2 soot and they are that are greenhouse gases that absorb more heat and cause radioactive for sanction and contribute to global warming and meanwhile the batteries he produces are a product of heavy lookin mining which also harms the soil pollutes the groundwater and contaminate the air so this entire argument is really hypocritical must doesn't care about the environment at all it's tweets are merely a p.r. stunt to be controversial and manipulate the price of a big one for himself and if friends so they can accumulate and as he reiterated

monday morning because i haven't sold any at all so they're still holding and likely accumulating and here's the thing in addition to jack dorsey saying that that one will actually improve sustainable energy billionaire mark cuban is also voicing out saying that crypto currency is including bit quite well actually help the environment because human side of the industry has become the near equivalent of nuclear waste dumps that must be tended into perpetuity because hard rock mining generates more toxic waste than any other industry in the us and he also cited that bitcoin network of pain 74 percent of its electricity from renewable sources and then another independent study points energy usage stands at $114.00 chair. hours while the banking industry consumes over 260 terawatt hours each year and this report was came out on friday which provides open source access to its methodology and calculations so i conclude in shrinking big bank and when you say it will

actually benefit society and the environment excellent points to consider here and i hope that you are on most of listening to this one in particular christy i thank you so much for your time today. after a 6 and a half month journey from planet earth china makes its 1st mars landing the rover named after the chinese god i was there on will be in search of life for about 3 months are 2 years natasha suite has more on this historic way of being. kind of landed a spacecraft on mars for the 1st time on saturday scientists at the control center were overjoyed invoicing one another according to the china national space administration touchdown was at 70 in the morning beijing time it was a bit of a to late for mission control in beijing to confirm the release of a heat shield an oversized parachute to better secure the crops to send these both must be deployed at very precise times to ensure proper landing in a particular spot the heat shield protects the spacecraft from the scorching

temperatures of mars parachutes and rockets help the spacecraft to slow down to prevent a crash landing the advance technology is very different than what's needed to land on the moon while still a large feat the moon only requires many retro rockets from landing the rover plans to inspect the red planet for 90 days but for the next few days the rover will remain in the lander for a diagnostic test it will then explore an icy part of mars known as utopia joining an american one that landed there back in february china is the 3rd nation to land a rover on mars the u.s. has had 9 successful landings on mars since 1976 soviet union landed on the planet back in 1971 of the mission was short lived not so expects the american rover that landed on mars 3 months ago to collect its 1st sample in july it's expected to make its return to earth in 10 years china also says it wants to land people on the moon potentially building a scientific base there and a space plane is also reportedly in the making and however no timeline has been

released for these potential endeavors reporting for boom bust of tosh sweets archie. that's all for now. you can catch broomed us on demand by downloading the portable t.v. app for apple or android device was here next time and as always don't forget to question more. it's called the feeling of coming. everyone in the world should experience

flamingo and you'll get it on the old roll. the old according to josh. welcome to my world come along for the ride to. town to read out read i turn on the t.v. on the back the world of what's happening around me i see shills on the screen speaking last every day because the fake news near is it steady state the 2 may be cooling and some just little good enough business with the farm after blair brick by brick school bullies to make it sound how flinty off that in this war but i found a network that will question the science great sadness a civil strife climate change savile will be called simply lists all the mainstream

wants to do was keep us cool like you watch the right you can't keep a stylist critical point seize hold perspective question exaggerate we don't take sides we pluck the dark arts see america of means real talk. but see america brings you stories of a world wide significance news the proper media refuses to show you some social movements to civil wars to take breakthroughs to epidemics because our journalists and audience alike dare to question more. made my students birth new questions number as stark and endless as the sun and bring you all in some distance. and.

it. remains in question. hey folks we've got a great songwriter coming up great singer i think songwriting steak dinner though on it appears now that writing scores for documentaries and theatrical releases might be the next chapter it's linda perry what is she written well you know i'm coming out sick but i get to start he started by playing on the other end of the book and that exquisite song the christina aguilera just rocked the world with beautiful and she's now written some as i said soundtracks for a new sean penn documentary about his great work in haiti and our french alaimo and frys documentary looking back on the segue sometimes awkward good and her case rather smooth from childhood to adulthood and we'll talk to linda perry right after this on dennis miller plus one.
