that's the federation of small businesses. they know what they're talking about. t we've had with the fsb and others, both to listen to business, they can't be every seat at the table, but they need to have a seat at the table. and at the same time, if you look at the way we've introduced the new deal for working people legislation, i think, a, we've consulted carefully. second, we have listened to business. so, for example, around the issue of probationary periods, they said, listen, we understand that you want to introduce rights on day one, but we do want a longer probationary period so that if someone doesn't work out in the workplace, we are able to exit them from the organisation. so in that sense, we have listened carefully to business. and, frankly, if you look at the 300 businesses that we had in the guildhall today, they don't want to compete on the basis of low skill, low wages, precarious work practices. they actually want to be high skill, high investment, high productivity businesses. institute of directors says your plans will become, will make it mo

there are concerns from business groups that you are going to cripple small businesses. the federation ofwhy is it happening too quickly and why is it not happening quickly enough. you have to strike the balance around that. we've worked closely with businesses of all size and we have to recognise a lot of businesses in the uk operate to a higher standard than we would increase the floor with on this legislation but for small businesses, the point about probationary periods and listening and allowing them to hire with confidence, confidence of the greater burden on them as they won't have big hr departments and will find it hard to implement change and we understand that and we have listened on that part —— is part of the bill. we promise this legislation in the first hundred days and that's exactly what we have been able to do. of course there is a process through parliament to make sure it is taken forward. foretell a process through parliament to make sure it is taken forward.— sure it is taken forward. well done with the earpiece. _ sure it is taken forward. well done with the earpiec

we need to fertilize field of small business and entrepreneurs, and the one entity that is for small business national federation of independent businesses endorse me in this race. thawnch. thank you mr. rainwater. >> fellow hoosiers first we have to realize that -- that they're telling us that the economy is doing great but when you sit down at your kitchen table you probably know that's not the life that you're living. inflation is really, really hurting most hoosiers and the reality is that we don't need more jobs. the u.s. chaim before of commerce says we have a worker shortage in this state. we need to stop bringing in more jobs because these jobs that they keep bringing in are causing people to leave small sl businesses and these small businesses are having to close because they can't staff themselves. and the reality is that's happening because -- they don't really care about small businesses in indiana just a big cooperation and we need to change that. >> thank you. >> several hoosiers shared concerns about a lack of affordable housing. michelle a resident of anderson who works in real estate says we cur

that want to start small business, a $50,000 tax grant to get your foot in the door and get you started on the american dream. [applause] some of our largest corporations pay zero in federal tax. why not small businesses? that's what we are proposing. we talk about this in minnesota, and i know this being a nebraskan that you have it, too, but the saying is the economy works and we all do that are when we all do better. it is about an economy that is about fairness. it's about understanding workers and builders in the country should receive a fair wage, about understanding health care should be a human right and that you should feel safe going home from work. those are the things we care about. [cheers and applause] donald trump and jd vance got a little vision -- a little different vision of how things go. we know what they will do. i want to give them credit because he has kept his word on a few things. they will gut and take away the affordable care act, kick you off if you have a pre-existing condition, stop your children from staying on your health insurance, drive up premiums, and make this country less healthy, sicker, and poorer. they will go after medicare, socia

i am endorsed by the national federation of and it -- independent businesses. because i fight for jobs. i fight for smallusinesses. my opponent voted against those businesses 75% of the time. >> let's discuss access to abortion. mr. evans, two years ago you told the conservative group that you support banning abortion except to save the life of the mother. no exceptions for rape or incest. is that still your view today? >> i know the survey you are talking about. it had two options, one pro-life, one pro-choice. i am pro-life. >> it allowed you to add comments. you did on a question on the same page. if you felt like an exception was appropriate, why not add that in the comment? >> here is my position. high have said it since day one since i got into the state legislature. my voting record reflects this. i support exceptions for rape, incest, life of the mother and i don't support a national abortion ban. i received pressure from my own party to sign bills that would've taken away those exceptions. i was one of five republicans that didn't sign. nine voting record is clear from day one. so is my opponent

many secretaries of defense and national security advisor's have called that growing federal debt of the largest security threat we face as the nation. nor is it a threat that small businesses are telling us that the ever-increasing debt is the greatest long-term threat to their own growth. under former president trump and the united republican congress we will grow our base and stop mortgaging our children's future. look at the least fluent green new deal spending and democrat'' so-called inflation reduction act that is costing twice as much as was advertised and is sending taxpayer dollars to china. meanwhile, we will root out waste, fraud, and abuse and improper $1 trillion payments within the government which have grown to the highest levels ever in the last four years. and we will reduce the size of the federal workforce and root out a long list of nonessential jobs in the bureaucracy. our government will be a responsible government with a reduced scope and reduced spending. a government responsible enough to know that it can't and should not do everything. because a government that promises to solve every problem will cause every problem, and that is a road to serfdom

business so many federal programs. the small business administration is one of our partners at fema that help businesses stay in business through grants and loans that will happen i think down the road a little bit, but right now, it's getting the essentials that humans need to survive. food, water, power and telecom to make sure that they can get information and give information. i think one of the critical aspects of this is again, talking to some white friends down there and the only way they've been getting information is through am, fm radio. when you think about it, that is kind of the last resort kind of device that people think about. we take it for granted, but it's critical in disasters like this where you have to rely on that that really simple am media to get information. so that's what, that's what it's like on the ground right now. are good information to keep in mind, especially as there is still a month left, or so of hurricane season, p gainer. thanks so much for the time, correct? >> thanks, boris. >> brianna new details now, on iran's ballistic missile attack on israel yesterday, and iranian envoy to

last time, 2016, the national federation of independent businesses went through the roof. small businesses. is there a big play there potentially? >> you bet and they will start rallying a lot more. the iwm, the small businesses, when rates come down. i've been listening to the show, so i know rates aren't coming down for a bit, but i think six months from now, they will. charles: my man, always a pleasure to have you on always and it's always a pleasure to hand the show over to liz claman. liz: well jon to take his hat off. i got him to take his hat off yesterday. charles: one-time a week is enough for him. liz: exactly. i get it thank you, charles. it appears folks that earnings have a firm grip on the markets wheel because the best performers are speaking on good earnings reports, and then conversely the worst are cratering because of their quarterly numbers. let me show you dow jones industrials on pace for a fourth loss in a row down about 179 points. that be the longest streak in more than four months, and if you look at the dow heat map, the coldest names on the heat map

system that we have in the united states relies on a combination of insurance the various federal programs like we heard about the small business administration, fema programs for affordable housing and charitable contributions, and that mix of funds is what we used to recover from disasters. but that system was really designed 40 years ago when we were not seeing the kind of frequency and impact of the storms that we're seeing now so there's a huge economic consequence to all of this crap are recent report suggests that these weather disasters could create sort of a looming shock like the 2008 economic crisis and what happened during covid. >> so explain how that might happen. >> yes. i'm not the only one talking about this were seeing a lot of concern about the insurance industry and if we have large parts of the coastal united states that where homes and businesses essentially become uninsurable then that could really trigger an insurance crisis, mortgage crisis that spirals into an economic crisis, akin to what we saw in 2008 and so that's how i think about disaster is not only is the kind of personal shock that people are

of trouble. the tendency to manage or micromanage the business cycle. and of course, in all this is also the role of the us federal reserve when it seems so acutely sensitive to even small fluctuations in the stock market, you know that it's become this sort of asymmetry that on the upside people are allowed to gain. on the downside, no one is really allowed to fail. so we have had a socialization of risk that's happened across the system. so you borrow this phrase from bernie sanders in your book and you use it quite well where you say, we have what is right now socialism for the rich and competition or capital ism for the poor. you into a bunch of details about why that's true to an extent. but then you of course, finish it off with a massive amount then you finish it off with a massive amount -- a large amount of the welfare state that exists which is mostly for middle class people, the poor and other types of people who are not the rich. to takem away the question have from this who isn't covered by bailouts in the united states? how true is bernie's statement really? signed the half truth. it's true we have socialism for the rich even the welfare state in terms of

say, we've sat down with small businesses, the small business federation, we've sat down with the various groups in business and, and we've decided on, on what is a fair package ofey say, you know, it's been it's been watered down somewhat, hasn't it? i mean, the union demands are far , far more far reaching are far, far more far reaching than what we've currently had set out. what is it exactly that's worrying you? is it the, you know, the right to for sue unfair dismissal from day one? or is it the default on flexible working, or is it more just the sound of it, the sort of direction of travel? >> it's all of it. ultimately , >> it's all of it. ultimately, countries are successful in economic terms, i think not so much because of government laws, but because of culture. it's the atmosphere. either they promote entrepreneurship and the idea that people should try to start businesses and get rich, or they are essentially much more interested in public spending and bigger government and more laws . and i worry that this laws. and i worry that this government are very much the latter. they are primarily interested in the public sector. they don't understand the pr

[cheers and applause] good question. mr. trump, what is your detailed plan of action for bringing down prices? and i believe i'll mark your responses on this handy dandy chart. [cheers and applause] i already have my -- [laughter] i'll have my pen ready all the way over here at the top of specificity and make-sense-itude. begin! >> first of all, she can't do an interview. she could never do this interview, because you ask questions, like, give me a specific answer. she talks about her

of federal tax. we think we have those folks pay their fair share and then we start focusing $850,000 tax credit on small businesses[cheering and applause] but not donald, he needs to give another tax cut to his buddy elon at your expense. [booing] he has a plan nobody wants to agreement -- agree with. remember doing coke -- during covid and the bleach? the same thing with taxes. he wants tariffs and he says china will pay for them, and you are paying for them. $4000 a year out of your pocket. you think after nearly 80 years he would've learned what a tariff is, what you? he's an 80-year-old man, he should've learned this. did i say he was nearly 80? that's right, nearly 80. he said i'm not nearly 80, it is 18 months away. i know there are folks in this room, we know our system of government was never perfect but it was better than any other one ever concocted. let's just acknowledge, the republican party over the years contributed much to this country. and the parties that kept their word. when all republicans talked about freedom they meant it but that is not who this guy is. when this guy talks about freedom, fr

of all, those small businesses will generate a lot of revenue and a lot of extra jobs. and secondly, if you call yourself a billionaire like donald trump, and you have not paid federal tax 10 of the last 15 years, we will start collecting from folks like that, and that will make a difference. [cheers and applause] and in rural communities, start connecting through rural lenders so we're keeping the money in communities for investments in those jobs in rural communities. you live in the heartland and you want to start that small business, there is a part -- program called rural partners network that makes sure these communities can thrive. people are concerned. my small community, when i lived there, was bigger, and it continues to drop down. we have speculators. you heard last night that it's immigrants that are taking all the housing. [booing] how are they getting alone when we can't in some cases? but the question is, you don't ever question the speculators that buy them? that is what kamala harris is talking about, making it free, making sure that freedom is there, and making sure it is fair. this idea that you can have an economy that works for everyone makes a diff

federation of independent business wrote the argument against prop 32. i think many times there's a feeling that this is a smack to big business, to big corporations. most businesses 99.2% of businesses in california are small businesses on main street. they just don't have the ability to absorb those kinds of costs. they point to what happened earlier this year after fast food workers minimum wage increased to $20 per hour as an indicator of what could happen, we have seen an increase in prices. we've seen more than 10,000 layoffs. we're seeing businesses convert to kiosks. he argues prop 32 would actually hurt workers in the long run, and leave business owners with a tough decision, because you either have to do one of two things raise prices or more likely, scale back shifts, positions or entire benefits, or just let those people go. but to that, sandberg has this to say. the people who oppose raising the minimum wage always seem to be people who have a profit motive, who will make more money if wages stay low. if passed, employees would see that increase in their paychecks starting next year if it fails. minimum wage on january 1st will be 1650 an hour. ian cull, nbc, bay area news. all right, rob mayed

slightest hint of trouble, the tendency to manage or micromanage the business cycle and, of course, and all this also the role of the u.s. federal reserve where it seems so acutely sensitive to even small fluctuations in the stock market that it becomes a sort of asymmetry that on the upside people are allowed to gain. on the downside know what is really allowed to fail. so we've had a socialization of risk the tap and across the system. >> so you borrow this phrase from bernie sanders init your bk and you use quite well when you say we have what is right now socialism for the rich and competition or capitalism for the poor. you going to budget details about why that's true to an extent but then you of course finish it off with a massive amount of or with a large amount of the welfare state that exists which is mostly for middle-class people, middle-class people, the poor, and elsewhere, and other types of people who aren't the rich. the take away, the question i have from this is who isn't covered by bailouts in s the united states? and how true is bernie's statement, really? >> yes, i think the statement of bernie sanders is the half-truth, which is it's true we had socialism for the

as a matter of fact, in the national federation of independent businesses just announced top problems for smalley, was last year, for the first time, small businesses actually decreased the number of small businesses that were offering benefits. and that just further makes it more difficult for small businesses under 50 to be able to compete against larger employers. that's why at paychex, we've been doing a lot of things with new products and services. we introduced a new a.i.-based recruiting type pilot that anyone can buy and actually get access to 250 million workers that they can recruit. we also announced a product of paychex benefits first, without having employees pay anything for them because they're providing those for the employees directly. small businesses have been resilient, we're continuing to see moderate growth but facing challenges going into 2025. >> hurricanes helene and milton, i guess that impacted a huge number of states in the south. how are they doing in terms of recovery with small businesses there? >> yeah, becky, i will tell you, florida and north carolina were real

as a small business owner i carried forward that same ethos of not spending more than a brought in. making sure to save for emergencies. we need the federalernment to do the same thing. right now future generations like mine are going to be saddled with this enormous burden. currently the interest on the federal debt is more than the entire federal budget. the situation is completely unsustainable. as u.s. senate out close the billionaire tax loopholes that allow them like jeff bezos to pay an effective 1% tax rate. and, i would work to end other loopholes for corporations to bring more money in as resin boot. we're not going to achieve this unless we change we sent to be our officials for. >> mr. beau in your thought question requester on a platform of traditional money. our founding fathers envisioned the u.s. constitution still requires. it also means free-market capitalist economy, not crony capitalist not socialism but a true free market were consumers, not the government choose the winners and losers. but also its fiscal responsibility balance budget reduce the national debt. i agreed mr. curtis were doing is not working because in

now the city and federal government and the state of pennsylvania are hoping to put money into it to renovate it and rebuild it as a local small businessaven with artisans over here or perhaps a brewery over there or some little restaurant vendors over there. either way, a redevelopment project that, if voters in this area believe are helping them, these kinds of projects and these kinds of economic incentives several could alter the vote in a city and a county which could certainly alter the vote for the entire nation in erie, pennsylvania, united states, brian sullivan, cnbc business news. >> great report from brian yup, still the economy, stupid. >>> meantime, the u.s. government is finalizing rules that ban invest of the in artificial intelligence in china citing a u.s. government executive order signed by president biden in august and would require the u.s. firms to notify the specific investments in key technology. >>> qualcomm unveiled a sm smartphone for generative a.i. coo christian spoke to the colleagues about other key areas that the company is targeting. >> when you think about automotive and compute and growth market for

of women start small businesses. he actually instituted paid family leave for federal employees, you know, taking a look at issues like child care amongst others, which we know doesn't just affect women it affects parents in general. when you look at things like making sure that our daughters have opportunity to grow and thrive in women's sports, you know, when you look at the fact that, like, i as a mom want my kids to be safe, do you want to be protected and so, well, i do want my kids to be safe and i believe that the commander in chief should be in command. and i think what he is there dayana is that right now joe biden is not in command and he has said that kamala harris has been with him in lockstep with every single decision. and so when you're looking at the fact that it's not just our country but the world is in chaos and that can't be denied, whether it putin's aggression into ukraine, whether it is the world being on fire in the middle east or whether it's xi jinping saying it's not an if, but a when i take taiwan whether it's our border being unsecured, i'm sure that whether it's the story of laken riley t
