the direct what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. ah the boom, but the one business show you can't afford to miss. i'm branch a board and i'm ready to a woman's in washington coming up china's tech track down continue. we'll take a look at how the markets are reacting to the latest regulations charging anti competitive practices. watch the government in afghanistan falls apart and civilians. why not to withdraw their money? bitcoin supporters say the country news crypto like never before. well, this guy, then we turn back to the cybersecurity sector as hospital continue to fall prey to hackers in the midst of the delta, coven variance, search, cybersecurity,

accurate cod shipley. it's standing by to bring it all down. in fact, so today was that right in the and we leave the program with another step in china ambition to regulate the nation's massive tech sector date administration for market regulation on tuesday, published a set of draft rules aimed at taking on unfair competition and the handling of critical data. now, as we have talked about on this show in recent months, china has taken multiple steps to rein in the math of tech company. they have fostered in the last decade and a half. so here just a few of the proposed rules. tech companies should not provide for that. including inflating the number of clicks on a piece of content. they should not hide negative reviews and only promote good
7:32 pm
evaluations of a product which is often commonplace on sites like alibaba or amazon and internet platforms should not make efforts to influence user choices, essentially, saying they can't push users to their own content or services. while browsing another and for context, this is something google has been accused up across the globe. the regulator is seeking public opinion on the rules until the 15th of september. and while these proposed rules have not come into effect quite yet, investors are already reacting. so let's bring in michelle snider, she's the partner and director of training research and education at market gauge dot com to discuss this. and what else is moving market on tuesday? michelle pleasure to have you back on the show about china. the biggest tech company was around $50000000000.00 and market value on tuesday after the proposed rules released with 10 cent alibaba. j. d dot com and my twan all losing between 3
7:33 pm
and, and a half and just over 5 percent for shares listed in hong kong with all of this new regulation. are we going to continue to see these fell off the tech companies in hong kong? well at this point we are so incredibly oversold and of course today you're seeing the reactions are we have before one nice theory going on here. but i do believe that we'll see some type of support come in at some point. and it may be simply technical because it's just like i said, the oversoul condition, we are at a one percent relative strength index on a monthly chart. if you look at some of the stocks by pension and alley model, i just want to say, you know, in terms of this whole action and these anti trust issues. when you are a state sponsored capitalist society, like you are in china, you can do this sort of thing. things that we have been talking about in the united states. so yes, and some of these giants may continue to suffer as a result. but overall, what we're hoping for, and i'm assuming that's the whole point of this,
7:34 pm
is that the fair play in the competitive factors 1st, a lot of companies can start to emerge. so i just, i just want to mention that on the right now, like i said, i think it's a little bit overdone, maybe we'll see another couple of days i'd be patient. but if we start to see some kind of a rally, i would say you have a good low risk against the recent lows that you may want to catch a bounce on. and certainly whenever we talk about raining in those tech giants, it seems to be something that the whole world is having to deal with now as they become bigger and bigger. and meanwhile, here in the u. s. the now that golden dragon china index, which tracks 98 a china is biggest firms that are listed in the u. s. fell as much as 4.5 percent on the news. so how much of an impact can something like this have on broader global markets, specifically here in the us? well, we haven't really seen much of an impact in terms of the tech stocks here in the united states. and probably like you just said, rachels, because we can't really do what they can do in china here,
7:35 pm
even though we've talked about it and talked around it, these anti trust issues. so i think that what we're seeing in the u. s. right now is it's having some of its own headwinds. and of course any of the china listed stocks in the u. s. has gone down separately. but some of the giants here, like microsoft, for example, has hardly bunged off the highs even with the market correcting today. so at this point, hasn't really been much of an impact. and amid this crackdown, taiwan ts m c has overtaken 10 cent as age of the most valuable stock hitting a market cap of roughly $540000000000.00. after gaining nearly 10 percent this year alone, is that more about the crackdown pushing 10 percent down or the increase reliance on semiconductors as it's become one of the hardest commodities in tech these days . brand, i would say probably a little bit of both because we do have the demand for semi's improving. we've had of course, the supply chain issues going on. and of course the regulations have really what has hit pension. so at this point now i would say that the crackdowns retention has
7:36 pm
not only hit as hard, but it's been more in the last 6 weeks. it's gone down 45 percent from january high of $100.00. so i show that this sort of rotation into the show me is interesting whether or not sustainable will remains to be seen. but at this point, it's definitely a trend because of the, like i said, the supply chain problems. and also the fact that some news have gotten very, very hot as a result. now taking a look at broader equity is here in the united states. the s and p 500 had a major milestone. monday, doubling its value since pandemic lows in march of 2020. it's all of those highs just a bit on tuesday. but as we continue the record after record with us markets is their concern that we may be in for a correction sometime soon. or is that easy monetary policy from the fed going to keep things propped up for a little while longer?
7:37 pm
well, i was a great example, rachel, because if you look at the market, it look like it was going to start free falling and then what happened? power came out the vicious, always saying that they would continue to do what they had to do to support the economy. and of course he can cite real reasons because he, ex, factors are the delta very and for one, obviously the geo political situation. we are going on right now, may or may not affect things going forward. certainly, the retail sales number that came in weaker than expected today was an issue. so at this point with the fed continuing to pump pump parts, even though we're seeing it's subside a little bit. if you look at what i like to look at, which is the junk bonds are not really where you have the companies that have very high yields in high debt. that's where a lot of the bond mine they've come off still electron. but look at the long bonds, the 30 year plus bonds, and those are actually falling. that's where the fed folly has been. so as long as they can continue to do that until the bubble get so great. and by the bubble, i mean the inflation level. i would say that we're not going to see any kind of
7:38 pm
deep correction, more of a stagnation, and we'll get a little bit more insight into what the fed is thinking wednesday afternoon. michelle snyder of the market gauge group. thank you so much. thank you. but lashonda currency of afghanistan has had a new record low after falling 4.6 percent on tuesday i met a television take over the saw both the u. s. supported president and central bank officials fleeing the country. the afghan government is used to receiving around $5000000000.00 in foreign aid from the u. s. every single year. and while pull out efforts were under way earlier this year, the buying and ministration requested an additional $300000000.00 from congress to help funding the government as the u. s. military made its exit. now, ironically that number of 300000000 is the amount us tax payers have spent every single day over the last 20 years on what has now become the longest war in us
7:39 pm
history. but despite all of that money, the government that was built and funded by the u. s. and as allies fell within a matter of days, it was supposed to be protected by the afghan security forces, which were funded by the u. s. to the tune of $83000000000.00 over the last 2 decades. but thanks to their swift collapse, the taliban was given not just political power, but also the gift of fire power in the form of guns and ammunition helicopters and more, while president biden called the taliban take over highly unlikely. just last month . his administration has reportedly moved to protect billions of dollars, an afghan government reserves holding us banks and in effort to stop the taliban from gaining access to them. so rachel, obviously the question becomes very simple because any of this is surprised not at all. and i think if you really pay attention to foreign policy, especially over the last few years, you will have seen the taliban became more powerful than ever under us occupation.
7:40 pm
and part of that was because of the chaos that has been fueled by the us and its allies in this country. and i mean, you go back to that number of $300000000.00 per day. and i hope that that gives every american a chance to think about the fact that the us is spending that much money on this country. and yet, here in the u. s. on any given day, you have half a 1000000 americans that are homeless. you have thousands of americans that are struggling with their basic needs. we have infrastructure that needs to be built. and yet at the same time, you look at this country and you see that the us, both the government, both an army and they all fell apart and just like that. and so now we're at this point where finally there are some people who are talking and saying, well, what about the civilians? well, those civilians who have been under the u. s. war for 20 years, who have dealt with bombing year after year. now they are struggling with their new reality. and so i think that that's a good segue into our next topic, which is that we look at these civilians in this country. we see that hundreds of
7:41 pm
them were lining up to withdraw their own money as a result of the tolerant and take over, trying to get it out of their bank accounts as they fled from their home. and at the same time, the scene has led bitcoin enthusiasts to point out how the broad adoption of crypto could have changed. not only the current chaos surrounding the control of the country, central bank, but also the entire war that led up to it. so for more on this, bring in, tucker, president of the brownstone institute. now jeffrey, we're talking about a nation here where government and central bank officials have floods the country and a foreign government is controlling assets. so how would crypto currency adoption by the people of this country play a role in the situation rates? i want to 1st congratulate you on your devastating and really depressing report from f d. that was really intriguing. listen,
7:42 pm
this whole topic takes me back to 2013, and people don't remember this. but africana time was an early adopter of big claimed by the mice, half canister. i mean, regular people there because this is a country with, with a devastating problem with access to banking institutions. it's not just the geography and the lack of mediating infrastructure. it's a cultural problem that women are just simply not allowed to back and the entire country and that was true under the taliban and, and there was nothing the us occupation could have done to change that. and, and now you've got the banks entirely controlled by, by, by the government. and did i annex has regular citizens back in 2013 klein to, to many women and afghanistan as provided a opportunity for hope. because, you know, without back just to banks, you know, there's, there's no the work you do, even if you're enormously talented and you have services,
7:43 pm
i'm going to sell. you have no way to get paid in the sense because represented a tremendous point of optimism. and there was a lot of early adoption, i remember interviewing some, some, some heads of in jose that were really pushing big kind of options, a real path towards cultural and economic change in that country. and there was, there's a great deal of optimism around it. and i know i'm taking too much time, but i will tell you just and sure what happened was, between the about a year later failed to skill properly and, and became very extensive to, to, to use and to send and put a rub, bent into adoption in the country and then and then it really did kind of stop after that. and of course the crypt mark has changed dramatically. and so we have more access now to a variety of a cheaper tokens. so, but it definitely that doesn't represent hope. and especially after experience like
7:44 pm
this, but you don't soon forget the time in which your own property is blocked to you and you're trying to flee the country. you can't get your money out. this is devastating. and it's definitely it's almost crypto one. 0 one jeffrey. because when you are learning about it, you hear so much about banking the on bank, how it can help when currencies are destabilized, or in d stabilized nation with el salvador, moving to adapt bitcoin as legal, tender and argentina, indicating they could be neck. i mean, do you think that we're likely to continue to see this trend of crypto becoming a part of everyday life, especially when you see something like what's happened in afghanistan and how you could kind of head off that problem if you were to make that move you know, ever, i hope americans are looking at app canada and i realize the same thing could actually happen here or anywhere else. so long as governments in charge of banking institutions and you've got the mediator force out there, you're not really the owner of your property. so yes, you're right. it does take us back to the early vision of the client. this is
7:45 pm
democratic money available to everybody. we now have a greater access and we ever have to tokens that can be shape shifted between each other funds. ability within that because fear and more opportunities for this, for the since for, for crypto to really change the world, i don't believe it requires adoption by government. a little tolerance is all we really need. but ultimately, that the future of currency under a crisis situation like this will come down to 2 crypto, which is function as a new and improved version of the old gold standard. now going back to crypto one. 0 one for a minute. what is the difference between the general public, adopting bitcoin and making it a part of their everyday lives versus say, a government officially making a legal tender because i don't entirely mind government making a legal tender because it does suggest an element of toleration there. and it suggests a kind of friendly industry to kept over. ultimately, there's nothing government can do to cause crypto to be valuable or adopted. that's
7:46 pm
something that people have to do themselves and they have to have real incentive to do it. so being surrounded by an inflation inflationary, national current, or one, this dropping dramatically, an international markets or bank that or shot and benign you access really does kind of bring home the point. we need an independent money. we need some way to exchanges through our own volition and to control our assets. that was the promise of big clinton, the early aids, early, early stages. now we have many other tokens that represent that same promise and a road car. mad. you know, what are you going to trust? and i think the markets are speaking right now. the crypto market should bumped up against the 2 trillion dollar marketing cap and re robust. i think a one point on the show you asked me, you know, what, how come market, how come crypto has responded markets, but just give it time. you know, we're, we're going to hit to new highs before the end of the i'm not supposed to make my
7:47 pm
predictor. ok, and that is though is every checker, the friends are and institute. thank you for your time. if you and time. now for a quick break, but when we come back as a delta very and continues to tweek the united states, a lot of cyber attacks have taken out the hospital digital network. we'll take a look straight ahead and we're gonna break here the numbers at the close me
7:48 pm
my recent studies, 90 percent of all the money print thing for all the different programs never leaves wall. right, so it just stays on walter. just saying, here's an infrastructure bell, road tunnels bridge is and they the 2000 paid bill, they numerate all the things where this one is supposed to go. and then they pass the bell. then they authorize the money to be printed and then they sent it for distribution to wall street, a lot, braces on it. that very clearly in the money velocity chart, which is always going towards europe, they never goes anywhere. assisted on wall street balance sheet and they use it to buy expensive property. and that's been the story now for more than 20 years. the all new britain, mr. moseley was when you said that, could you do the good to go below
7:49 pm
to do i see? yup. and going to show you, so you didn't know if you didn't the if the mother molar. that's what you will cover. the 1st of all, i don't know if i'm in yet we still follow some of the v. c meisner. although a lot nobody me and he's a sucker and you say you got a phyllis coming me personally, hon. ah
7:50 pm
ah ah, i hear welcome back. roughly 48 percent of us hospitals have disconnected their networks at some point this year, due to ransomware attack, according to a new study from phillips and cyber m. d m x m d x. that is to say, the report site, $130.00 i t and cybersecurity specialist in health care facilities throughout the country. and this is nothing new as health care organizations were hit hard. in the
7:51 pm
early months of the pandemic, as more administrative work was done remotely, the perspectives in health care security report says medium sized hospitals were hit hardest by the issues, averaging nearly 10 hours of downtime, which cost nearly $46000.00 per hour, while large hospitals average just over 6 hours of downtime at a cost of $21500.00 per hour. so it raises the question, why attack vital health care infrastructure? well to discuss. let's bring in some surety expert, a president of dark intel, tod shipley, todd, always a pleasure to have you on. i want to start with that big. why is this about hitting vulnerable systems that need to be up for a hospital to effectively do their jobs or? and are they trying to store huge amounts of money like we've seen in the past, or trying to just sell the data on the dark? well, what are we seeing there? well, i think you're seeing a lot of all of that. i mean, if we look back, what happened just number years ago in the u. k. and, and how that whole system was disrupted. i think there is a sense that they can disrupt
7:52 pm
a lot of what's going on the united states and the same manner. the problem ends up being that i think the hospital then to be in a lot of that low hanging fruit because they're not protecting themselves well enough. i think if you look at that study, part of it said that the c e o weren't taking it seriously and there wasn't enough money spent on doing the cybersecurity issues. so i think the what the why ends up being because they're not protected well enough. and we need to put some more serious protection on the systems. now, speaking of the fact that they weren't taking it seriously, let's talk about the vulnerabilities here. i mean, just 11 percent of the respondents in this report say, cybersecurity is a high priority considering we've seen this large increase in ransomware, attacks and recent years. should this be a main focus by now? well, of course it should be, i mean that's, you know, just make common sense. but people at the top level don't understand the technology . it's the administered by people that do understand it, but don't get the support from the ceos and,
7:53 pm
and the people at the top level. this is an ongoing problem not just within the hospital system, but nationwide and companies that have ceos that rise to a level of their job that don't grasp the concerns of what the technology is. and like i said before, there needs to be some legislation, much like the sarbanes oxley when we had the enron in the fraud there. that forces the ceo to be responsible for their companies and the cybersecurity related to their companies. i mean, this is up to you, you work very close at hand with so how do you talk a ceo into it when you say, hey, you have cybersecurity vulnerabilities, we need to move forward. i mean, obviously legislation would be fantastic, but you know, we talk about how slow the wheels of congress can move at time. so how do you make that pitch? well, i mean that it's a problem. mean, you have to go in there with a sense of what they understand and speak at a level of their understanding of the technology. now it's getting much easier in some sense is because the number of attacks that have occurred,
7:54 pm
and you just have to list out some of the things that are occurring and where the holes are in their own systems and show them where the problems are. and that they're going to be a victim. the problem is they look at it from an economic point of view. if i spend the money a lot of money, now am i going to get a benefit? if i don't spend the money now? well, i get a benefit and so they look at it economically and sometimes they don't make the right choices, which is that they don't secure the systems effectively. and i want to look at the broader world of cybersecurity. the us state department is operating rewards and crypto currency for information related to state sponsored hackers. the platform they developed called rewards for justice was promoted at black at usa, in las vegas earlier this month and apparently inform it would provide the data via secure portal on the dark web. we often talk about how do we stop cyber tech? is this a way of doing it is just getting informed to read on people, i guess is the best way to say well, i mean it's something we've done for years in a lot of different areas. you bring in informants to solve problems and,
7:55 pm
and is it the solution? no. is it a solution? yeah, it's one, but i don't think it's going to be as effective as they want it to be. because i don't know that people are necessarily going to want to get a few $1000.00 for a concept that they found where there's a vulnerability in a system versus breaking in their cells. and you exploiting the vulnerability to get millions of dollars worth of cashback. so i'm not sure if that effective now we've got about 30 seconds here, but i want to follow up on the story of the poly network tack of more than 500000000 dollars last week. the hacker is return most of the crypto at this point . and as we talked about, covering the story, it appears they were just trying to make an effort to exploit vulnerabilities. now, in a promising in promising a reward for returning the funds, they were also and rather pulling network, invited the hacker to be the chief security advisor of their network. what do you
7:56 pm
make of that situation? i don't, you know, letting the fox into the house is not always a good idea. it's companies that have done this in the past, but i don't think it's the best idea for the company. and keep in mind that these, this is a chinese own company and even the chinese own company that found the vulnerability . and the hacker by his ip address is not released to it is. so i think there's something that we've got to find out more about that whole hack about what happened . cybersecurity expert, todd shipley. thanks so much for your analysis today. thanks, wrapped me on today. and finally, as the space craze continues to sweep the nation now says prepping to launch a simulated stellar experience to match the time the u. s. space agency is now accepting applications for crew members to spend a year prepping for a mission to mars. like a few who are chosen will get to spend a full year living in a simulated, based on the red planet. this will all be happening at the johnson space center in houston in a 3 d printed module. while the crew will have to face real life challenges that
7:57 pm
they would likely see on the base like delays and communication and food shortages, nasa is looking for participants between ages 30 and 55 with experience in the stem field with the application process open until the 17th of september. so rachel, we often talk about the space and we know that you're afraid this is in houston right this, this isn't your home state of texas. would you do this but a full year? i don't know. that's like quarantine on steroids right there. i mean that's, that's a bit much, but hailey, she could say you were the 1st person to be a part of that for the time you get boom bust on demand on portable tv available on smartphones and tablets. google play in the apple app store by searching portable tv. portable tv can also be downloaded on samsung, smart tv, and roku devices, or simply check it out portable dot tv will see you next time. mm. ah
7:58 pm
. now we have easy reads. i just heard that it was a healthy alternative to figure out how do we trust tobacco companies with their message that these new products are actually going to reduce are these are making the tobacco? of course americans love buying homes. ah, this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large, understood the bargain. you get a home and then you will rebel, right, as the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. be really interesting to dial back and think about
7:59 pm
no longer deeper history of what housings meant in the united states. not just that old question of the american dream, but the bigger question of who the dream has been for. look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except when the shorter, in that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at the point obviously is too great truck rather than fear i would take on various jobs with artificial intelligence, real summoning the theme and a robot must protect its own existence. was
8:00 pm
the one of the desperate guy coming to us military play. taking off from cobbled films the old deal on his phone, his fight is unknown, but others went on to plunge that death a while about and reached the media off its power grub, promising its no revenge. and that i can see work for foreign armies all forgiven. it's also revealed a ton of commodity. we gave a victory speeds from cobbled presidential time spent year. the me and 100 bay ah .
