$2.00 trillion dollars joining us now to discuss this bill but it's an investigative journalist ben swan a bet i want to start with who is suing because as i said the numbers of states municipalities who are following suit here are staggering. yet really is that we're talking about 300-3000 states which as you said is virtually every state in the country we're talking about thousands of minas apologies from cities to counties and then we're talking about native american tribes they are collectively suing innocently what they're doing is suing up and down the supply chain for opioids essentially saying that these companies the pharmaceutical companies failed to adequately flag certain orders of these opioids that then were moved off and diverted into areas they were not supposed to be and misused essentially abuse so the claim is pharmaceutical companies knew that their supply chain was broken along the way and that really groups were taking these opioids and mishandling them and selling them to the public in ways that they shouldn't be and yet they kept pumping them out and producing the

and joining us now to discuss is boom bust cosen investigative journalist ben swan and jeffrey tucker editorial director with the american institute for economic research thank you both for joining us but i want to start with you here because we know you've been very critical of the u.s. stance on chinese companies including this move over to so does this latest statement i mean he just matched it over ali baba does it surprise you. it doesn't surprise me it disappoints me i continue to be disappointed by these decisions by the trump administration really to take the stance look i have a huge problem with it i have a problem with the way the way has been treated as a private company but essentially having the u.s. government essentially launch not only a war against wall wait here in the u.s. but to really go to bat overseas and to try to get while we remove from countries around the world which again is not a government entity it's a private company now you can argue and you can say well you know why the way they give their technology and they give access which is what the u.s. says

just the beginning so joining us now to discuss this boom bust co-host investigative journalist ben swan and travel expert from money we have dot com barry choi thank you both for joining us today ben i want to start with you can you give us a rundown of some of the other aspects of the travel industry struggling right now . you know it's kind of like a pick your poison kind of such a way. right now it doesn't matter what part of the travel industry you're in right now things are going very very poorly you have the airline industry quantas airlines out of australia saying that for this last year of this last fiscal year that is they've actually lost $4000000000.00 in australian dollars in terms of revenue that's about $2900000000.00 u.s. dollars and they say international travel for them will not resume until the middle of 2021 the middle of next year you talk about the cruise industry you know the cayman islands saying that they're not going to allow international cruises to come in to the cayman islands until at least after december 31st of this year so it doesn't really matter what se

of journalist ben swan ben let's start with europe where travel has been slammed a new world travel and tourism council actually reports that estimates are us to meet the u.k. or lose nearly $29000000000.00 from its economy this threatens about 3000000 jobs in the country what is the u.k. government doing to address this hit. well at this point all they can really do is deal with stimulus because unfortunately not just in the u.k. but all across europe there isn't a whole lot that's happening in terms of reopening travel routes or getting tourism back up and running and that's because most of europe including the u.k. is still under a series of lock downs and economic lock downs as well as social distancing so there's a lot of concern about what this looks like in fact most analysts are looking at it saying that the travel industry for europe and specifically for the u.k. won't be coming back until at least the middle of next year which means that the losses will only be compounded at that point and there are a lot of low cost carriers including in the u.k. that are looking at having to

bit coy so joining us now to lend their insight is a school bus co-host investigative journalist ben swan and jeffrey tucker the editorial director at the american institute for economic research now but i want you to break down this generational divide for us. yeah it's pretty simple i mean gold obviously just hit an all time high of $2000.00 and older investors who know gold as a safe haven asset they know that it's something that governments around the world strongly desire and want to be involved in and they know that gold's been around literally for amber and so they anticipate that it will continue to be they are hedging their bets with gold whereas younger investors millennial are leaning towards big coin which some call and our own chris the i calls it digital gold right it's a safe haven asset but it's also much more portable much easier to access and much more fluid obviously then you know gold would be so we're seeing a clear divide between the way investors are moving right now younger investors millennialist they really are interested in big quoting digital currencies older i

be around because well they're just not real let's break that down trend with boom bust co-host ben swan and christiane thank you both for joining us and kristie again for that matter today now kristie we have seen creations like 19 year old kayla released music while going through a carefully scripted drama that kept a 1600000 followers riveted what do you make of this trend. well i think that's such an interesting trend right now and then mchale was an experiment that proved that you can really blur the lines between what is real and what isn't and that's really just the beginning because one potential extension to little mckayla would be to move it to social networks where then anyone with an i phone can create dress and promote their own personal avatar kind of like a big moji type of thing and this is has tremendous value for brands as the distribution of these in florence or they would have they would not have the same cost and be substantially cheaper than the real life celebrity and this kind of reminds me of that black mirror is episode with with miley cyrus and rachel jack and

and boom bust co-host and investigative journalist ben swan ben let's start with a breakdown of the back and forth between the united states and china over this trade deal what's a trump administration saying about china's failure to keep up their end of the deal sara obviously this is a huge issue for the u.s. and china but remember all the way back 6 months ago we actually talked about this very issue on this show and we talked about the fact that china at the time was agreeing to buy far more imports from the united states than we thought they would actually be able to buy it was a very generous on the chinese part however having said that if we take a look at the numbers between january and july of this year we are seeing a significant change in terms of what the chinese promise to do versus what they're actually doing in fact consider the fact that 3.5 percent of imports are down compared to where they were just a year ago if i take a look at these numbers here because if you look at. we have here in 2020 purchasing was 63900000000 more manufactured agricultural in energy products t

that's a major question moving forward joining us now to tell us co-host and investigative journalist ben swan ben we've talked about this over and over again we know that microsoft had indicated it wanted to purchase tech talk but there's a new better trying to get a piece of the company. that's right in fact it's a new better that's trying to team up with microsoft so on one hand you had microsoft say that they wanted to acquire to talk you have on the other side oracle which says that it wants to acquire to talk about the way oracle's probably gotten the most backing from the u.s. government in terms of a thumbs up saying this is a positive they want to see oracle get it but now microsoft has a new partner in this bid and that is the commerce giant wal-mart wal-mart has now said that it will go in as a coal bit or alongside microsoft to try to acquire to talk and as you mentioned the price that we're expecting to see anywhere from $20000000000.00 to $30000000000.00. and by the way this takes over the north american operations for tech talk that's the u.s. and canada as well as australia and

and joining us now for a deep dive into this is boom bust co-hosted investigative journalist ben swan and dean of the miami herbert business school john quotes thank you both for joining us today now i know better i want to start here we talked about this monday and you were highly critical of this u.s. decision to force the sale of tic-tac to a company like microsoft are you at all surprised by beijing's response no not at all surprise i actually agree with beijing and i rarely do that but in this case i do agree with them because look i think it does feel like theft it feels like the u.s. government came in and said a couple of things number one we're going to require that tick tock be removed from the country and then suddenly said but if you want to sell it to a u.s. company you can do that which makes sense for the owner by the way of tech talk because otherwise it's lose your company in the u.s. and in india and all these other emerging markets possibly canada new zealand australia if you lose that market then the company in those places becomes worthless so the offer that's bei

we will see that jeffrey tucker of the american institute for economic research boom bust co-host ben swan thank you both for your time. thanks. and trading in the markets remain subdued on monday as traders weighed the prospect of tighter quarantine measures against continued government support now meanwhile tensions continue to mount between the u.s. and china as the 2 have postponed trade talks as well that had been set for this past weekend to discuss the status of the phase one trade deal but markets perked up slightly as china made another liquidity injection let's go ahead and bring in blue bus co-host christiane to go over the details chris i want to start right there what does this new liquidity injection mean for these markets well the people's bank of china just offered 700000000000 arm b. of one year funding via the medium term lending facility so this is to offset the 400000000000 army that in loans coming due monday as well as the other 150000000000 maternal later in august so this liquidity injection signals a moderate easing of monetary policy monetary conditions as well as

and joining us now to discuss is blue bus coast investigative journalist ben swan and geoffrey tucker editorial director with the american institute for economic research thank you both for joining us but i want to start with you here because we know you've been very critical of the u.s. stance on chinese companies including this move over to so does this latest statement i mean he just matched it over ali baba does it surprise you it doesn't surprise me it disappoints me i continue to be disappointed by these decisions by the trump administration really to take the stance look i have a huge problem with it i have a problem with the way the way has been treated as a private company but essentially having the u.s. government essentially launch not only a war against wall wait here in the u.s. but to really go to bat overseas and to try to get while we remove from countries around the world which again is not a good.

host and veteran journalist ben swan with more. than chink oh that is name of the person who is really the primary source of the still dossier his washington based lawyer now admits that yes in fact he provided source data and analysis for that dossier already online sleuths had made the connection between then chain co in the still doubt so here's what we know about then he was on the payroll of christopher skills investigative firm orbis business intelligence in london we also know that he worked for the brookings institution he co-wrote a paper with fiona hill in 2010 titled one step forward 2 steps back the realities of a rising china and work ations for russia's inner g.m. bishan keep in mind fiona hill became a sinner piece of the impeachment hearings as she had been president trump's national security council but the most important allegations regarding then janko come back to the f.b.i. notes from his interviews those notes show that he relied on a group of like minded friends including some drinking buddies for those stunn

of the world trade organization now for more on this let's go ahead and bring in blue bus co-host ben swan and cyber security expert todd shipley who also serves as president of dark intel now ben i want to start off with you here let's kind of it appears that microsoft has about 45 days to get this deal done but doesn't it seem strange for the u.s. government to ban a company and then turn around and basically force them to sell helping an american tech giant to buy. yeah i think the whole thing is pretty disgusting i mean as this is all playing out everything is wrong with this from the fact that number one as you said 45 days this company is being told you're going to be banned in the united states you can sell office in chile the u.s. version canadian version australia new zealand versions of tik tok dance can and in exchange for that not only will a big company like microsoft get to take over talk but at the same time you just heard what the president said he says a substantial portion of that price should go into the u.s. treasury white because we're facilitating this do you know wha

were stabbed one prisoners near waycross georgia were attacking authorities there let's go to a ben swan he's joining us now from atlanta with some details on the so what's the deal ben what do we know about this thing yes we know the prison itself which is in south georgia houses about 1500 inmates it has 15 guards at a time monitoring them we don't know how this thing started but we do know that as you mentioned 2 guards were stabbed a golf cart was set on fire windows were broken and apparently it was put down with guards coming in and using rubber bullets so 3 in they were injured during that nobody was seriously injured through all of this but right now even right now that prison is on lockdown rick down in south georgia you know it's funny we've been seeing a lot of reports about the situation with prisons since the covert 19 situation developed i think a lot of it having to do with the fear factor added to already the fear factor of being inside of a prison do we have any sense that this might very well be related to the. so there is talk that it is a couple of interesting things

of an investigative journalist ben swan and president of dark intel and cyber security analyst todd shipley gentlemen thank you for being with me today ben let's start with you break this down for us what happened with you on monday and why is this such a big deal. well it's a big deal in that you have a company like zoom that obviously has been growing in prominence over the last few months and they just couldn't handle the load of parent lee other they were hit with on monday or apparently around 8 40 am on the east coast they said that they had essentially a blackout where users could no longer get online they could not get into their meeting rooms they could not attend classes it lasted for about 2 to 3 hours and then zoom says they were able to kind of reset the cloud they got everything working again but i think there's a bigger issue here than just whether or not zoom was able to handle this load it's the fact that when we talk about internet we really have 2 things we're talking about we have internet service and the ability for internet providers to be able to essentially share a b

journalist ben swan and henry ford which board member with the british american business association thanks for being with me today hillary at let's let's start with you this is somewhat new territory we're seeing here as the president issued this executive down there now saying that is the only course of action is to actually take this on to the courts do you think tick tock will prevail well sorry pleasure to be back thanks for having me a couple of things here to set the context is that i think this is being portrayed very much in the u.s. anyway in particular around the selection trying that trying because again. first of all it is the ticket has been banned already in india and australia is considering taking similar action and there's certainly a lot of concern about to talk in the u.k. again and might put a lot of pressure on them in to not have the tick tock headquarters be located in london so that sort of globally and secondly i don't think this is really just about chick talk i think it's about to talk reach out and every chinese software where the companies really are own

we got a lot to discuss here so joining us now to discuss his coat and investigative journalist ben swan and entrepreneur and videogame analyst used to enjoin and who is also the author of one up creativity competition and the global business of video games thank you both for being here but i want to start with you this battle between fortnight and apple is over the app store fees correct. yeah it absolutely has by the way i was going to say the u.s. has the maybe the greatest book title so that's a pretty pretty tough thing to fall there but yeah it's pretty incredible when you look at what's happening with the gaming right now and really it's not just epic but it's news publishers as you said it's a whole host of app developers a constant creators who are using essentially 2 stories the app store and then the google play store on android devices essentially what epic has done is they attempted to essentially allow users to make purchases inside of a fortnight instead of doing it through the app store as a way of saving money because there's this huge fee of about 30 percent that apple

they're not just big point by the way but all coins as well that's the place to be boom bust co-host ben swan and kristie i hope you guys are part of that 2 percent always a pleasure. hope not to think and that's it for this time you had a boom bust on the man of the brand new portable t.v. app which is available on smartphones and tablets with a google play an apple app store by certain portable t.v. portable t.v. can also be downloaded on newer model model samsung smart t.v.'s as well as roku devices or simply check it out at portable dot t.v. we'll see you next time. someone else shows seemed wrong. i don't really see just don't call. me. yet to see. just the attitude and in detroit equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy it isn't foundation let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development the only place really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. was. our eyes. first afte
