ben, last word for you. to be when you're having the same reaction i'm having. i'd rather hear it from ben. >> ben: i just wanted to say that the irony of this whole situation is that the reason bari went there in the first place was to help them solve this problem. in the week of 2016, they felt like they didn't understand the nation anymore. they needed more diversity of opinion. the fact that she is not welcome there anymore, it turns out "the new york times" readership doesn't want diversity of opinions. they want that calm sort of quiet lullaby notion that everything you think about the world is right and no one will ever bother to question it. >> melissa: that's interesting. and that is a business, it's just not street journalism. that's the business they want to be in, maybe they called themselves something different. joe biden turning his attention to the economy and has run for the white house, but the white e says his policies pose a danger to americans. so, which candidate has the best economic plan? wheel debate. ♪ (gong rings) - this is joe.

ben: ben hayes. lemonis: so, you built this building? ben: yes, sir. -lemonis: you did a good job. -ben: thank you.onis: i know if we could spend about $100,000 to expand the deck and add 100 seats, we'll be able to get our money back pretty quickly. norton: people love sitting over the water. -lemonis: yeah. -norton: people love water. lemonis: if tables, on average, turn two times a night, then i know i can take their average customers per night from 500 to 700. conservatively, if the deck's only open 100 nights per year, at an average price of $15, that's $300,000 additional gross revenue per year. that's a lot. man: this is 5,000 square feet. lemonis: now that the deck is underway, i want to meet with an architect to design the plans for the general store. and then i was envisioning the bakery half drywall, half glass. so, like, you know when you go to an aquarium? lynn: that's great. lemonis: thank you, sir, very much. appreciate it. lemonis: ewell texted me this morning and told me that he wanted to discuss his role in the company. now, i haven't seen him get involved in anything related to t

ben. ben thompson reporting. the government is under pressure ben to act more quickly to provide local councils with data about potentiales in their areas. yesterday, leicester became the first city in the uk to be put under a local lockdown. some directors of public health say they are not getting detailed and up—to—date information about local outbreaks — such as individual addresses and workplaces. the doctors' union, the british medical association, says it's vital that councils are given more information so they can act swiftly. dr manish pareek is a professor of infectious diseases at the university of leicester. he says other cities will also see more cases in the coming weeks. those of us who work in the health system always expected that there would be, even after this first wave, that there would be ongoing spikes in activity. the virus hasn't changed. it remains with us, as we know. and as people start to move and mix, what the virus will do is transmit. so in those areas of the city in leicester at the moment which are inner—city city and have a lot of dense housing there is likely to be transmission. but i

staff and many others joining us now to discuss his boom bust co-host investigative journalist ben swan ben thank you for being here to break this all down let's start with helping the viewers understand what is one m d b. yeah it's a pretty common.

staff and many others joining us now to discuss his boom bust co-host investigative journalist ben swan ben thank you for being here to break this all down let's start with helping the viewers understand what is one m d b yeah it's a pretty complicated story but this is probably the easiest part to wrap your head around here which is this is one malaysia or development it was essentially the government's investment firm right which was set up to encourage outside development and investment into malaysia that's why it was set up was back in 2009 it was the then prime minister who was in charge of this right and he actually was on that advisory board headed up the whole idea was we're going to bring investment into the country sounds good the problem is it didn't do that instead it was wound up creating massive amounts of debt running up about $12000000000.00 in debt.

ben swan ben thank you for being here to break this all down let's start with helping the viewers understand what is one m d b. yeah it's a pretty complicated story but this is probably the easiest part to wrap your head around here which is this is. one malaysia d.b. or development b h c it was essentially the government's investment firm right which was set up to encourage outside development and investment into malaysia that's why it was set up was back in 2009 it was the then prime minister. who was in charge of this right and he actually was on that advisory board headed up the whole idea was we're going to bring investment into the country sounds good the problem is it didn't do that instead it was wound up creating massive amounts of debt running up about $12000000000.00 in debt brought almost no development into the country did things like you know try to buy a private power plants but again a drop of debt and now what we've learned of course is that it was actually sitting off a huge amount of this money it was being misappropriated and going to elected officials and bankers at goldman sachs and now it was that investment fund that authorities say was the focus of massive amounts of pfeffer what can you tell us about that. a lot so essentially yeah when we say massive amounts of theft we're talking about about $4500000000.00 stolen out of this fund just that number alone is a stunning number right. $8000000000.00 is what originally flowed in $4500000000.00 was misappropriated going again to all kinds of government officials you know the prime minister himself was was a recipient of a gift of about 680 $1000000.00 which after he was removed from office in 2018 he says that well that was repaid it was given back the whole thing was just an absolute disaster and essentially what we know is that this money flowed around the world it with to various people with high level connections people in china people in malaysia people in the united states in fact in a kind of a weird twist here apparently even the movie the wolf of wall street was fun. did with some of this money they had to return like $60000000.00 to this fund because it was misappropriated to create that movie i want to be i don't want to make light of the situation because you're seeing billions of dollars being defrauded but i want to point out an irony here a movie about wall street fraud was funded by defrauding the what m.t.b. flawed i mean it's very easy u.s. prosecutors have created at least 3 senior bankers from goldman sachs one of whom admitted to bribery now goldman helped the fund raise $6500000000.00 into bond offerings now earning itself around $600000000.00 in fees from that does this mean some jail time for any goldman executives yet certainly may there's one in particular that he's the former southeast asian chairman his name is tim lester he pleaded guilty to u.s. charges of conspiring to launder money and admitted to bribing officials in malaysia as well as officials in the united arab emirates to get bond deals on behalf of goldman so we know that we also know that malaysia and the malaysian government file criminal charges against 3 different goldman units as a part of this they're accusing the bank of mis representing themselves to investors and misrepresenting where these one indeed the bond cells would go saying that they would be used for legitimate purposes with goldman knew that they wouldn't be so there certainly may be some jell time here and i think it would be it would be lack of a better term criminal for there to not be jealous i mean we're talking about a massive defrauding of an entire nation essentially that took place here through the in part goldman sachs and we know how much they loved a block of bankers i'm sorry if that's not the case with this settlement ben and quickly will that be enough for the u.s. justice department to let the let the thing go 'd or will we consider you to investigate here in the united states so the u.s. justice department is actually kind of led the charge on this so kudos to them for doing that what's interesting about this though is the u.s. justice department has a policy of the centrally not what they like to call piling on right so if a nut. jurisdiction has already taken steps here obviously you have this you know multibillion dollar settlement that's come to they don't usually in their words pile on and force additional stuff now what may happen here is they're looking at still possibly the justice department getting another $2000000000.00 in a settlement from goldman but i would like to see as i think we you just alluded to is where the actual criminal charges are and people go into jail because that's what we rarely see we see lots of fines which don't make whole anybody governments just collect those fine

ben swan ben this trip in our play strategy it's not only extremely expensive but it would be extremely time consuming right. yeah it absolutely would be look at its not a quick process by any means either in the u.k. or here in the u.s. where the u.s. of universal service fund is no longer on an option for a while way so you and i have talked about this before rip and replace essentially means that you go in to these telecom towers and you remove any equipment that belongs to y. way well that's easier said than done it's one thing to say we're not going to allow while way to be part of our 5 g. build out moving forward it's another thing to say we're going to go back and every piece of 5 g. technology we have in the past we're going to tear it out replace it oh and also 4 g. and 3 g. and 2 g. technology and that is what the u.k. is talking about doing actually going back and removing all of that if it has anything to do with what way of that's that's the concern here and one of them about the strategy seems to look at every look at all the while we meant that it's going to be rapidly r

go deeper into the story and bring in boom bust co-host and investigative journalist ben swan ben we seem to be talking about this for a few days on our own now we talked on monday and you mentioned that if this happens as it now has that it would be a complete reversal for prime minister boris johnson is this reversal based on any new information or is it just a u.s. pressure like rachel said. yeah i really think it's u.s. pressure i don't see any reason for this now obviously you know essentially what the u.k. is saying is that they went back and they did a 2nd analysis and they looked again with their security specialists and that's where the breach is decision if that is the case wouldn't the u.k. come forward and say and here is what we have now found that technical specific information as to why while way is a threat they have not done that instead they simply turned around and said yeah we're going to go along with what the u.s. has been saying which is that to allow way to be part of our 5 g. build out is ultimately dangerous for the country it's bad for the world the chinese

ben swan ben let's start with the latest on modern and this vaccine we know that 30 to 30000 people will take part in this trial but what do we know about how this trial is being conducted. there we know a couple things you did a great job of breaking down here how this all works and the reality is modern is not the only one doing this pfizer is very close they say to conducting their own 30000 person trial that's a lot of people to be testing these vaccines i do want to say something about mcdermott though when you look at mccarran of they obviously have a relationship with the national institutes of health that is different than other into teas and the reason for that is because the in i signed the contract back in december that contract was to begin studying coronaviruses not this particular strain but coronaviruses in general and developing essentially. artificial or in a sequences that could be used to create vaccines it's somewhat questionable it's never really been done before but dern is the 1st to do this so they're doing that in partnership with the in the h. and i think you know when you lay that out right now those 3 phases of vaccine trials there's actually a phase before all of that that happens before you get to human trials and that's animal testing modern actually skipped over that step and that's a highly unusual thing it's not illegal. but a highly unusual thing to have happened so the fact that they're now entering this massive human trial i think there is some people who are concerned others are hopeful well it's very interesting because timing is of the essence with this jeffrey we know that even if these trials are successful it could take until sometime even next year before an actual vaccine hits the market we talked about it being available to health care workers this fall but it really would have had the market to possibly next year to really to really keep the economy moving forward again is this what it's going to take to reopen the full economy and get it moving to where we saw before. rewriters are immense challenges in production and distribution mass destruction of these things you know we saw even with testing that we've seen the us has been done a horrible job it just shouldn't testament even now is for actually very difficult to get tested and some of the tests don't come back for 7 to 10 days so there's this immense challenges and distribution but but you're right to the men in the political class who decided that we're just really never going to become a normal country until we have this vaccine and let's be clear this isn't like a smallpox vaccine or a polio vaccine that lasts a lifetime this is really just an immunity booster that lasts for for an uncertain amount of time and to tell you the truth i think there's a lot more public skepticism towards you know what ben said is the base of an untested immunity booster than than the political class believes and even flu vaccines are not taken by as many as 4040 percent of the population takes those things every year and it's can be very difficult for these things to be to be widely distributed should be decide on believe there will be about for a very long time but on the other hand there is a kind of a psychological boost that comes from this you know if the markets really believe that the policies that are going to open up until we get a vaccine is going to be very good news well that's exactly what you mentioned the importance of this is the distribution of it how whether or not people are actually going to go out and run you know with to get in line to get this vaccine is another issue and the fact that they skipped over the animal testing much like ben mentioned it is extremely important just the expediting of the that axion how safe is it and in terms of ok short term effects but what we can loo

ben and ben let's start with you why are we seeing fewer people using cash these days and is it in part really in fears of transmitting germs. i don't think most of it's about transmitting germs even though money is filthy when you do pick it up it's covered in germs but i don't think that's really the reason here i think the bigger reason i mean it's obviously kind of common sense right when you have the economy shut down across the world fewer people would be accessing a.t.m.'s because why do you need cash where people get cash when they go into restaurants when they go to bars they go to nightclubs they use cash when they go to hotels and they use it for tipping people in this case none of those services have been operating for months now and so the shut down in certainly the service industry would have a big effect on that plus when people aren't shopping as much in stores and they're doing more e-commerce in order to buy their groceries and have them delivered items from amazon whatever it might be so much of the shopping right now is online not just out of convenience but because you really can't do it any other way so i think that's a lot of it i think that's what we're actually seeing when visa says you know 63 percent of people are using less cash and now using online it's because they have to at this point while in a lot of stores and restaurants a lot of places are actually doing contactless paying where they're not even taking cash right that's true no absolutely true and not only that but you have a lot of places where even if you do eat at a restaurant as you're saying you order ahead of time you don't go inside in order so you're ordering that ahead of time online and then you go in and pick it up and pay ahead as well christina the senate banking committee is looking into the possibility of now creating a digital u.s. currency as we've seen other countries do such as and as well and now china how likely is it that the u.s. will create this digital currency even in the near future. i think as an area likely because the pressure is certainly mounting for the u.s. to create this c.b.c. as its biggest competitor and the tech arms race just recently began testing its own digital currency that will be launched on we chat and so for us this means that they will fall further behind they've already lost the battle over 5 g. to china so now it's going to be digital currencies which essentially will command the future. sure of international capital flows so right now that's the biggest concern because if china launches their digital army successfully this will result in a widespread adoption of the digital r. and b. to be used in emerging markets and international trade so countries will no longer be dependent and beholden to the dollar so a lot of this what's driving this decision right now is fall most fear of missing out and it's kind of important to note that in news committee hearings the discussions are now revolving around how rather than if the u.s. should put together a c.b.c. so right now there is still no active development yet for this any time soon but there certainly is a notable shift and tone which signals that this is a very real possibility especially when states like china and even corporations like telegram and facebook they're actively trying to take finance into their own hands ignoring the u.s. students hedging money as a limiting factor definitely looks like the u.s. is just about ready to join in then do these digital currencies harm some of the most vulnerable in our society i mean people without bank accounts for instance. well it certainly can look some of the people in society who do not have bank accounts are obviously affected by the digital currency or even the cashless society as i mentioned before to people who work in service industries who are reliant on tips don't necessarily get them as often when you don't have cash and cash to society so i think there are certainly some issues there but remember the crypto currencies themselves were originally designed to go around the banking system not to be part of the banking system so the whole idea behind crypto is that you have a digital currency that allows you to bank yourself you become your own bank without having to go 'd through these other systems when the u.s. government starts talking about doing this they're not talking about going around the banking system they're talking about doing the exact opposite of what crypto currencies are designed to be which is anonymous decentralized and peer to peer instead the u.s. government wants it to be completely centralized they don't want to be peer to peer they wanted to be still running through them or through banks to you and they still want k y c know your customer and that way there is a control of the system but i will say one other thing i do think of the u.s. moves into the space it's very likely we're going to see a collaboration between silicon valley and the u.s. government to create it i think that's what mark zuckerberg is ultimately trying to do with libor i think he wants it to become a coin that the u.s. government would use but remember the u.s. government constantly outsources right now so many issues to silicon valley i think this will end up being one of those things so what about the most vulnerable people that will that we're talking about society not just us of who don't have bank accounts but the homeless who usually take cash from people. yeah absolutely it's a it's an enormous issue for them it's an enormous issue again for anyone who doesn't use a digital system so when you eliminate cash from the system you have to create some kind of method by which people are able to still engage in society financially and right now that doesn't exist really on the digital space unless you at least at the very least have a cell phone right christi if the u.s. does actually move to this national debt. currency how does that affect decentralized currencies such as a big point that really become true competitors to than the digital dollar. well i mean if the u.s. does adopt the c.b.c. which is a very real possibility right now but quantum would be more valuable than ever because it's exactly what ben said they're not even competitors this is like comparing apples to oranges because the central digital bank currency will never replace because that is not a true crypto currency it's still centrally monitored and maintained it will still be subject to exact same problems that currency has today they'll still be subject to inflation and they're open to manipulation by central banks and make it even easier for the central banks to either tighten or loosen the quiddity over so c.d.'s these are merely a digital version of the our currency which makes it more dangerous than ever because that means every single purchase every single action will be tracked and we just talked about the currency crisis in lebanon yesterday and if there was ever a currency crisis in the us and we ran on c.b. can you see us do you think that you'll be allowed to swap into a safety currency do you think that you can even swap to gold or yen or anything for that matter like no you'll be locked up and forced to wa

ben shapir ben y wire and also the brand-new book "how to destroy america in three easy steps." it hits the shelves tomorrow, ban, congratulation on the books but how are so many folks by the self-serving self enriching lincoln project? >> what an incredible graph, i mean seriously, so many in the united states but what a great country where you can make money doing stuff like this. it truly is incredible in between colin kaepernick to tell how racist and that lincoln project claiming they are doing work on behalf of what they originally called conservative principles. they say by the way, they are not to in any way obstruct the biden project. they infect stand against anybody who stops the agenda which means they are a democratic group. they are campaigning for democrat to, pretty solid stuff here from the lincoln project, i have to say. >> laura: aps reporting, band, former ohio governor john kasich expect to speak at the democratic national convention for joe biden. doesn't this make perfect sense when he didn't show up at the last convention in cleveland when it was in his state when he was governor? >> did he ever stop running for president? didn't he drop out in 2016 or actually still running? that is a man that makes a lot -- i'm sure he's put on a lot of weight from rubber chicken dinners that he's been honored at giving speeches that no one listens to. my goodness, what the democratic party, my god john kasich is coming and so excited for john kasich to speak. no one in the history of man. >> laura: then, when you look at what is happening right now in the country with police being attacked by thousands in chicago, rocks thrown, you know, dozens of dozens badly injured. portland 12 blocks total disaster. amazon getting smashed in all of that. and then the process response is if to say this is disturbing and let's get to the bottom of it. the presence is we shouldn't cover it in a traditional weight because to do so as not to emphasize with the cause. what does that tell us about three steps to destroying the country? >> well, it certainly tells you which side the press is on. you talk about the unionist who believe in american philosophy like the declaration of independence and the spirit of entrepreneurship, and others, and the history that says america has a great and good history. we stumble, fall but always get up and move forward towards these founding principles. disintegration is different in american history, evil, awful and american history with all sorts of bigotry. and america's philosophy is nasty. those folks are very prominent and the media right now and you can see if the media openly rooting for rioters and looters. on one hand they will say peaceful but then they will suggest the protesters are rioters and looters. they have to be one or the other. >> laura: i want to move on very quickly. activists linda sarsour characterizes young americans at a biden voter summit. watch. >> given to the health of the young people in the streets, unapologetic people said enough is enough and this time these young people mean it. we are willing to but our lives on the line to truly live in a nation that reflects our values and principles as a people. when we defeat fascism in america, you can say i'm a part of that. 2020, i worked in my community to defeatelection. >> laura: benercifully i end of the sound bite, your response. >> it is always great to hear from linda sarsour and well respected in the democratic party. any fascism by apparently breaking storm windows and violating all law and using fascist tactics in order to shut down debate. all of that up his love of democracy. and the hissing hypocrisy of these folks is beyond measure. >> laura: that was an event online that occurred today. congratulations on the book how to destroy american three easy steps hits the shelves tomorrow and you can get on amazon tomorrow. we will talk to you soon, ben. biden comes out of the basement, yes, he does with plans for new curriculum for your kids. trader joe's becoming trader knows. all of that and more in "seen and unseen" with raymond oraymond arroyo next. woman: my reputation was trashed online. i felt completely helpless. my entire career and business were in jeopardy. i called reputation defender. vo: take control of your online reputation. get your free reput

. >> stephen: so how old is ben now? >> ben is 17 months. >> stephen: okay.in that diaper to see what kind of poop he's serving meup. >> stephen: sure. but i got to tell you, i'm starting to get paranoid because i have no poker face. so my reaction to his poop is so oversized, and if it's a messy poop or there's corn or something in there i don't want to deal with, i literally am, like -- ( gagging ) -- and he looks at me and i feel terrified i'm going to constipate this child or make him constipated because i'm reacting so crazily. but if it's full of rocks which are easy to navigate, i'm great. >> stephen: he will value your honesty. that's what he's learning from you, emotional honesty. >> very good. i should have a sip of his sippy cup while i talk to you. >> stephen: oh! oh, that's good. by the way, speaking of sippy cups, what's it like to host your show because i have been there a few times, you ply your guests with ample alcohol before you ever go on the show, and it greases the wheels of the conversation. what's it like now talking to sober guests? >

ben stokes, a great all—rounder. nobody mentions jason holder. he was dismissed by ben yesterday. benienced bowler, 485 test wickets. but during the game you have got to focus on. it is something they will look at after the test match and then move on from there. stuart has a lot of experience. it is such a condensed schedule. they will all get a goal at one stage. it is an exciting prospect. having jofra archer and mark wood in the same test match especially with the ashes around the corner in 15 months' time or so. thank you forjoining us. let us hope england can bat out today and may be said it also for west indies to chase down for an exciting conclusion. thank you for sharing your thoughts. let us move on to the football. today could be the day that norwich city drop out of the premier league. they must beat west ham today otherwise they're heading back to the championship. dan's here to talk about football focus which is on bbc one at midday. it is crunch time for norwich. even their manager has said as much. they have lost the last six games. they have lost the last six games.

ben swan so ben what exactly is in this stimulus bill will republicans keep unemployment benefits where they are. so the republicans are not wanting to give employment unemployment benefits where they are let's start with that because that's probably the biggest issue here essentially what they've done is they say that $600.00 a week credit essentially the feds have put on top of these state unemployment tax or exiting the state unemployment benefits that have gone out they say that $600.00 per week needs to come to an end they're not going to do that anymore and instead they want to reduce it down to $200.00 a week in the goal they say is to encourage people to go back to work because quite frankly and this is true some people who are making more money be not on employment than they are working and so they say they don't want to encourage that the problem of course is that they've got to get this passed democrats not sure that's going to happen the other thing by the way that's in this bill is they want to also have another round of stimulus checks that will go out of the $1200.00 per person across the u.s. of course if you're under a certain income level and they want to get a 2nd round of those go in as well you know i've certainly heard that myself from small business owners that people that they know are not wanting to return back to work because they are making more from the unemployment benefits there and then speaking of democrats like house speaker nancy pelosi what is she saying i mean i would anticipate that they don't want to lower those that if it. no they absolutely don't look the senate and house democrats excuse me are saying with nancy pelosi at the helm there they want to 3 trillion not a one trillion they want to 3 trillion other straight stimulus they are don't want to do this if you're in a few rounds because remember republicans are saying we can do it now we can go back into another one in a few months if we need to and another one after that pelosi saying she wants one that will cover all the way to the end of the year and that includes keeping those $600.00 a week unemployment benefits on the federal side all the way through the end of the year which of course takes us all the way through the election and because in the election is happening here in manila i don't think the republicans are going to be able to hold firm on this because so many people are out of work right now so many people are on the on the unemployment and those people are not it's not of their own making right these are mandates that are coming out saying you can't work why should they they're going to feel like why should we take less money now when you're not reopening the economy sure i mean that there are arguments to support both sides to this it is a certainly a tough thing to think through so given that we know how difficult this is ben is there any chance that this deal could possibly get done by friday. yeah i think they'll be some kind of compromise by friday because neither side is going to want these these benefits to run out though house democrats obviously have more to gain by it running now because if they say we want more for the american people we want more stimulus money we want more go into those unemployment benefits we want more stimulus checks going out and republicans don't want to do it that's a winning argument i mean it's very hard as republicans who are running in this next election cycle to be able to justify cutting benefits to people when they get in we have a new round of lock downs that are being imposed and so people who thought they were going back to work now aren't going back to work or there aren't jobs for them to go back to so how do you even balance it look from a fiscal standpoint yes the republicans are making a good point you can't continue to pay this. forever and 3 trillion dolla

ben, ben, great to see you this morning, thanks so much for being here. how are airlines going to get out of this? you have seen ups and downs in the business before i don't think you have ever seen with traffic down 90%, is a way out? benod to be with you, maria, there clearly is a way out but it's going to take some time. i think what the industry is doing by putting multiple layers of safety around keeping the planes clean and ensuring social distancing at the airport and making sure air flow is right, requiring all flyers to wear masks and things like that is a good start to a process to get confidence back in the consumer but until consumers are confident that they can be safe on an airplane, there's not going to be a lot of people on the planes and that's where we are right now, maria. maria: yeah, i mean, delta is getting stricter with its mask policy. i think you make a good point about the masks and the social distancing, i mean, delta is now banning face coverings with an exhaust valve on its flights, what do you make of that? >> well, i've seen reports that -- that officials are saying that masks that have those ports on the front actually allow droplets from the mouth to exit the mask. i think delta is respo

ben swan. all right ben tell us a little bit about gio understand that everybody and their mother out there seems to be wanting to invest or be a part of it including facebook yeah that's exactly right everybody wants a piece of this company right now rick and i think that a lot of it has to do with obviously. india is a huge emerging market especially when it comes to telecom right now and geo technologies and geo industries is essentially leading the way in india they have about 344000000 subscribers to geo platforms right now which is roughly the entire population of the entire united states as you know and so you know as you mentioned portable t.v. is now part of this but yes intel just put $250000000.00 into it facebook owns a 10 percent stake in it right now nobody wants to miss out on this and right now geos pretty much leading the way right now is kind of the hottest telecom company in india so there are people watching us right now in india they are with the man who started the company who is by the way arguably the richest man in all of asia and that's right we're trying to get a better

it all began with ben stokes doing what ben stokes does.t over of the game, an enormous six and continued in that vein, to fit the quickest 50 ever by an england opener, promoted up the order to open alongsidejos buttler. england eventually declaring 129—3. that left the west indies with the unlikely target of 312 and england with 85 overs to take a ten wicket they needed to level the series. stuart broad got things moving in the first over with the wicket of john campbell on review. two wickets in the morning session for stuart broad. one for christmas and the west indies will be hoping how they can possibly salvage this game now. so far away from the victory target in england knowing these figures can level the series. we will talk to you later on. some news in just the last hour — there will be no winners of this year's prestigious ballon d'or award. it's been cancelled due to the pandemic. it's the first time since it began in 1956 that football's most coveted individual prize will not be handed out. in a statement, football france said

ben shapiro hosted the ben shapiro show offer of the magnificent new book, not just a new book but so on target of what is happening to this country today. how to destroy america in three easy steps. benhow are user. >> hanging in there, how are you? mark: i am kind of hanging in there, doing the best we can right now. your book is right on topic, you break it down into three areas. that is the american philosophy, the american culture in american history. in the new address each one how each are being undermined at this rate as a matter of fact. what you see going on in this country today, what you see going on, the looting, arson, black lives matter, antifa, the democrat party pretty much embracing this in the bernie sanders agenda. the media that is utterly corrupt and gives voice to this and in so many respects propaganda machine. you kinda saw what was coming didn't you. isn't that the point of the book? ben: it really is. when i wrote the book back in december and january, i figured to be relevant before the election and then covid happened and i thought to be irrelevant before the election of the last eight weeks, the mental breakdown of the country and i realize just how relev

ben in minnesota, ben? >> caller: boo-yah jimmy chill thanks for taking my call. >> chill man was after people today that dissed me i made them look like fools by making fun of the names they pick because nobody ever uses the real name and makes fun of me unless their moms have really funny ideas about names. go ahead >> caller: love the show it's been a huge help to a new investor like me. >> all right >> caller: i invested in sony because i want to ride the rally of gaming during stay at home trends and i'm pubullish on the playstation 5 and heard they are doubling production to meet anticipated demand not to mention the demand of a digital only console i don't know toomuch about their other non-gaming related businesses, but i wanted to ask you, are there any red flags in the other businesses -- >> no, their other businesses are severely under valued. you have a winner in sony. i think it is a great company, stay long and congratulations and thank you for the kind words. how about we go to jack in massac

ben shapiro, host of the ben shapiro show and the author of the new book "how to destroy america in three easy steps." do you think the left is winning the culture war? >> they set up a narrative where they can blame anything chaotic on them. i think they can get away with it for a while and bank on the fact that people might not like trump enough that they will blame dem what is democratic cities. jesse: what do you think will happen to the culture when you are burning down federal buildings. assaulting police officers. calling them nazis. what does that do to the fabric of the society. >> no nation cannot survive that does not share a history, and a culture. they want to get rid of the history, philosophy and culture of the united states making it a worse place every single day. there is only one thing holding back the raiblg that will react to this by the american public. that is because joe biden has run a campaign of being a dead person who doesn't take on controversial things. if president trump is able to point out that biden is a transitional figure then trump has an election campaign to win. jesse: do you think biden knows what he's doing by kissing bernie's ring? or do you think it's naked political power grabs he's pulling off? >> i think biden is smart enough to try to make sure his left flank is insured. so the same time the left flank is saying take down the statues of columbus, he's staying quiet. if asked he will say i think we should keep the statues up. he will say i'm not in favor of defunding the police, i'm just in favor of shifting the funding which is defunding the police. he's more and more embracing the radical left. jesse: he only has to answer tough questions about once every three weeks. that's because the media doesn't care. you have a new book out, "how to destroy america in three easy steps." you are not going to have this become some sort of manifesto where anarchists read this and start taking action. tell me why you wrote the book? >> i wrote it in december and january. we live in the most prosperous, free and tolerant country in the history of mankind. and it looks like americans want a divorce. our philosophy, culture and history. i juxtaposed two visions of the country rooted in the declaration of independence and the constitution with a culture that values entrepreneurship and rights. and a history that recognizes that america has always been great. we have not always lived up to our founding ideals, but the story of america is an attempt to live up to those ideals over time. then the other believe that america's philosophy is a lie. that it's actually a culture of bigotry. it's just in the last few weeks the book started to turn into prophecy. jesse: lucky you, maybe not lucky, but at least in terms of book sales. the professors at universities, that's why you are seeing this younger generation so violent. a good read. thank you, ben. >> thanks so much. jesse: social media giants are banning q on the internet. barack obama plunging into the presidential race. later, a "watters world" look at kanye west.

you know, it's interesting because in those early years when i spent a lot of time at benning, which we called benningfor boys in those days, it never occurred to me that this was such a problem. but it is a problem, it's been identified by the military, the leaders of the united states military want to look at those names, because they mean something now that they didn't mean all those years before. so i think it is quite appropriate that the ten bases, army bases, anyway, that we have in the southern part of the united states, should be looked at by the leadership of the military and the president should keep out of it and let the military figure out what the right thing is to do. but he won't. he says no, you can't do that. why can't they do it? i think they ought to be allowed to do it. i think it is their responsibility. and i hope they don't stop now. but you see, that's the problem we have. we have a president who goes out of his way to keep us from moving forward. but we're moving forward without his blessing. because the people of the united states of america know what is right and we're slow

joining us now to discuss our boom bust co-host ben swan and chrystia i ben let's let's start with you and let's start talking specifics here now this does it nation it means i walk away and i will not have access to the universal service fund why is that so significant. yes so just to give viewers an understanding of what this is the universal service fund is essentially a huge pot or the f.c.c. uses to essentially provide telecom service to rural parts of the country areas that are not urban that do not have a lot of access to cell phone towers and those kinds of things and so the universal service fund has about $8300000000.00 in it and then that money is used to essentially pay and subsidize telecommunications companies to go out and make it worth their while to place towers and telecom communications equipment in the areas where it's needed but they might not make a big profit off of it so that's what the point of it is essentially what this this decision says is e.t. in what way cannot be a part of that system as telecom companies they cannot receive any of that money that would

match winning in his refusal to be tempted into doing anything rash, even though ben stokes was in his earfrom even though bens was in his ear from the first ball. nothing bad, part of the game. but it shows how competitive the first match was and maybe it was a game that england we re and maybe it was a game that england were not quite prepared for themselves. is the first game for a lot of us, thatis is the first game for a lot of us, that is no excuse but i think there was some rust in there. i think there is certainly after the game, we are obviously very keen to turn around there. england's coach was a note and done, but as an ignition, a sweaty player and in the absence of saliva in these test matches, they had thejob of saliva in these test matches, they had the job of having to shine the ball on his trousers. so much so, that he woke up with bruises on his legs. finally — wembley stadium should have seen around a million fans flocking to watch euro 2020 games and a number of play—off finals over the last few months. those games have been cancelled because of the coronavirus crisis but there's still th

underway when president trump was inaugurated and secretary of housing and urban development ben carson, dr. benakes on it. it is not a scare tactic to share the truth. and so college educated women and women of the suburbs, moms, we're information gatherers and sharers and like you said, this is across all party lines. you live in the suburbs and i live in the suburbs. if we had coffee together we would find tons of things that we agree on and that is what the president is banking on. speaking directly to people and informed them and then giving them a choice in november. and i think that choice is four more years of president trump. >> okay. stacy washington, it is very good to meet you on the air and you come my way and i would love to have coffee with you. i think that is what people need to do. have those conversations. so i'll see you again. thank you, stacy. >>> let's go now to the biden campaign. joining me now is julie chavez rodriguez, a senior viz for the 2020 campaign. julie, you have the advantage of going second so i'm going to ask for your reaction to what you just heard from the

ben stokes a doubt. here's our sports correspondentjoe wilson. on correspondentjoe wilson. the eve of a decisive tes any on the eve of a decisive test batch, any england test match would be concerned about ben stokes, he is the one player they cannot rotate and they would've seen those aches and they would've seen those aches and pains he picked up or stand in the second test. but if suit suggests, participating as a bowler, any team in the road right now would pick beny team in the road right now would pick ben stokes just as a batsman but in any case, they have james anderson back in the squad under some ground and they havejoffra. what about his state of mind though? to face scrutiny about his performances, even if it's criticism about the way he broke the covid—19 regulations is one thing, but to experience racial abuse on social media is appalling. and it must be a key factor now when we look at the way england manage joffra key factor now when we look at the way england managejoffra and part of the responsibility has to rest with the captain. he blows well in practice he is a big smile on his face and he set a tough week. i think there's no hiding behind that. it's been hard friends stuff is said to deal with this been quite horrible, really. it's a squad to try to rally around them and make sure that he is as good as he can be, it is nice to see him smiling again and begin enjoying his cricket and is selected, you'll be desperate to put in the

ben kaplan, ceo of top data. ben, how are you? >> i'm doing very well. thank you for having me. it's super interesting to look at the data because, actually, what we can look at is publicly aailable anonymous cell phone data. >> so you look at it. they can't say main takeaway? >> one of the first things you realize is that social interactions are highly, highly correlated. the number of social interactions for the average person with the number of covid cases we see about two to four weeks later. so the way we measure this is essentially we can see for an extended interaction, that means that that cell phone gps signals stay close to each other for five minutes or more. this isn't walking by someone on the jogging trail. this is extended interactions together. >> got it. >> you can see that the more that increases -- yes. you can see that the more that increases, then about two to four weeks later, it is highly correlated with the number of cases we have. to give you an idea, nationally versus california, currently about now in the bay area we have about 2.9 interactions per day for the average person. >> by the way, ben, this is what we're looking at. i want to give a little context. the red line is the number of human interactions. you can see it toelgttally took nose dive during the stay-at-home order and it dropped to one interaction a day. ben, it does look like in may when we started to have the phase one reopening and then a couple weeks later the phase two reopening that we started to see that start to climb, the human interactions, right? what are we at now? >> yes. it starts to climb overall all over califonia and the bay area is about around that 2.9 interactions per day right now. in l.a. county, it's actually four interactions per day. what's interesting is there seems to be a critical number. somewhere between 2.5 and 3 interactions per day where things get out of control. so what we've been able to see, though, is we actually can control whether things are manageable or not manageable. when we're at that low, one or two interactions per day level, we see cases really taper down. the min

ben collins who broke this story. so, ben, i don't even know where to start here. but tell us about this group. when you look at this video, frankly, unless you're paying attention to what they're saying looks very professional. you know, they're standing with this impressive backdrop. they've all got these white coats on. who are these folks? >> that's exactly the plan, chris. in real life there were just as many people watching that as there were speaking at that event, but on facebook you wouldn't know that. and the 20 million people who saw it in less than 8 hours on facebook wouldn't know it either. it's a group that's been around for 12 days. it's a group that's part of a larger pack called tea party patriots. americas front line doctors what they call themselves registered their domain 12 days ago, a second shot i guess moving the needle, shifting the conversation a bit from everybody needs a mask to actually hydroxychloroquine works, don't wear a mask, the president was right all along. and that's what this is about. this is about proving the president right, and lending credence to something that's become like a prophecy on the right wing internet that donald trump knew something about hydroxychloroquine no one else did. >> how did this happen? who's funding this group and groups like this? do we know? >> it's a group back from the tea party days a decade ago, and still made $24 million over the last six years just from donations and doing the sort of stuff on the internet that you see in terms of fund-raising, so that's not new at all. the difference is, you know, the algorithm is -- this controversial sort of stuff that really drives up engagement on this stuff. so by the time facebook gets to it it's way too late. and people who are political operatives, they can shift it over to the mask conversation. they can shift over, you know, talk about race and things like that. they can make this just as controversial and they've done that in the last few days. >> i want to ask you since we're going to have all these heads of tech before congress in just a couple of minutes when you look at this kind of thing, and my thought was how does something spread that quickly to this many people. what's the one question congress should be asking? >> what are the guardrails here, and why, by the way? why is this the thing preferred by your algorithm. why is the controversial stuff that gives you miracle cures and quick answers to complicated problems, why is that still the thing being propped up on facebook? and why are the people allowed to do it continuing to do it over and over again? it's the same groups, what they call coordinated inauthentic behavior, that's their wording and they're trying to crack down on it now. really what you're going to see today is a ping-pong ball. democrats are going to say why can't you crack down on hate groups, on dangerous misinformation no other country has. and then republicans are going to say this is big tech censorship. why are you sensoring all these people who are may not agree with but they're allowed to say all these things about demons giving you endomitriosis and things like that. that's the fight. but that's what's going to happen. >> ben collins going on the record. thank you, ben. great reporting. people should go online and read your story. >>> there's a new federal report out meantime that was obtained by "the new york times" first. it designates 21 states as red zones where the coronavirus is spreading quickly. all of those states had more than 100 new cases per 100,000 people in the last week. the report calls on local leaders to impose new restrictions to stop the spread of covid-19. joining me now is the professor of epidemiology at the ucla fielding school of public health. just last evening the president said most of the u.s. is covid free. now this federal report says the number of red zone states has increased from 18 earlier this month to 21. so where are we really? >> well, you know, this is a good question. and the answer is follow the data. i think in everything we're talking about today we need to follow the data. the data is showing us that we have upticks in cases in many places in this country, and

ben rhodes. and ben rhodes, because i have this feeling from reading your twitter feed that you might burst, go. >> well, look, nicole, i was in the pdb for years, with president obama, and i can tell you that based upon what i read to date, the information here is actually far more specific even than the type of information that would always make its way to president obama if there was a threat to u.s. lives and u.s. personnel. it was not unusual that we would get briefed on threats to personnel. and what do you do, you immediately call your military commanders, your intelligence community, and you say, what can we do to protect our troops in harm's way. it is astonishing to me, nicole, that the best defense that this white house can muster is that donald trump didn't read his briefing, when we're not even just talking about the pdb. if you look at the records, it makes reference to the wire. that is an intelligence report that goes to thousands of people. it makes reference to the fact that we have corroborations with financial transfers, it has reference to reports to allies. so clearly thousands of people have consumed this information, think it's important, think our troops' lives may be in danger, and think, frankly, some troops may have been killed based on reports and donald trump is doing nothing other than calling this a hoax, lying about whether or not he received this information, and not, you know, being derelict, frankly, in his duty as commander in chief. >> can we just dissect some of the issues at the heart of this? can we just hit pause for a second, bening really important and i've been trying to articulate this and i haven't been able to do it as you just did. normal presidents start every day before they meet with people like me in the press office, they meet with people like you and normal presidents, george w. bush met with george tenant most mornings, with the cia director. they want to know about threats to americans. and particularly in the years after 9/11, that was american civilians and american troops in the years after the wars in iraq and afghanistan commenced. and the standard isn't after the attack is successful. you failed, if that's when you walk into the oval with intel. the standard is when you're strategizing how to muster the forces diplomatically, militarily, and putting the president in as part of the national security team. to me, the buried lead here is donald trump isn't part of protecting america's national security. >> no, nicole, i think the lead is that donald trump is a threat to u.s. national security.
