kristie. i think that that was certainly what everyone is expecting to china certainly has a lot of women too much. right now they are fast talking in order to develop their independence, such as establishing their own semiconductor supply chain advancing their technology, getting their board into artificial intelligence. so tyga, certainly the next frontier are what they are set to conquer. but in terms of also having a mature financial market that is going to be the next step for china, because investors are going to be drawn to put their copple in a country if they feel that it is a place where it's safe for them to invest financially, and that is what was the allure of america. so china will have to develop their financial market as in, in addition with their technology market. well, the u.s. will have to step it up once again. when with co-host christiane, i increase from me on founder and chief market strategist on the technical traders dot com. thank you both for being on today. that's

kristi: since 2010. lemonis: kristi knoblich runs this edibles empire.risti: that's our tangerine dark-chocolate bar. currently, we offer products to about 960 dispensaries throughout the state. lemonis: 85 employees crank out over 1,000 pounds of pot-infused chocolate a day. it would take cindy and leani eight months to make that many tarts. and all that takes a ton of this. i want to be like santa claus. kristi: yeah, these are about 40 pounds. lemonis: i may not get pot, but i can't ignore the numbers. kiva's already a multi-million-dollar company. and next year, once recreational sales begin, they're expecting their revenue to double... cindy: we have cherry almond, which is the other flavor that has a higher... lemonis: ...a giant compared to treat yourself. you know, it's clear that you guys have a great idea. you are passionate about what you do. it's still small, right? cindy: yes. leani: mm-hmm. lemonis: are you too late to the party? cindy: we don't think so. there are bigger companies, but they're not creating the products we're creating. lemo

>>that was kristi gross reporting for us tonight. >>for sports. >>even though we are still a couple of days away from christmas tonight, feels like the night before christmas for me at least because the nba season starts tomorrow and the very first game of the nba calendar we get to watch the dubs take on a familiar face in kevin durrant and the brooklyn nets. the warriors are already in brooklyn, everyone made the trip though draymond green he will not play because of a minor foot injury is just day to day though he could still play on christmas. james wiseman he's ready to go. steve has already decided his starting line-up but he won't announce that until right before tipoff. but one guy who we know will be starting tomorrow is steph curry steph has been anxiously awaiting to get back on the court and he's looking forward to do it against his former teammate and kevin duran the 2 played together here in the bay for 3 seasons and became the best do well in basketball. durant's departure was somewhat awkward but it's been almost 2 years believe it

don't have time to cook rather than to the mail to their families kristie i want to talk about tourism and hospitality the those related industries they're obviously getting crushed by the pandemic air b.n. b. is instead raising capital and they're looking to i.p.o. how is their being we going to fare in this sort of market. well it looks like air b.n. b. is actually shifting its focus more social on her stay cation type arrangements instead of communication so the other pandemic air b.n. b. has been cutting costs and pivoting its target demographic so rather than advertise all the traditional urban travel areas being began to expand on its local community offerings especially in less densely populated neighboring communities so these homes provided vacationer with a safer alternative than a populated hotel booking so as such now air b.n. b. is reportedly raising its i.p.o. price range by more than $10.00 as the appetite for this deal was much higher than expected so now the valuation is about $42000000000.00 on a fully diluted basis and this deal is expected to price wednesday tonight

>>well that was kristi gross reporting for us congressman harder is also asking governor newsome and county health officials to make sure that farm workers get vaccinated early. >>in an effort to make streets safer in san francisco. the group united playaz hosted a gun buyback program over the weekend. people drop off their guns, no questions asked gun buyback events in the past have collected hundreds of guns and assault rifles, organizers say that these events can save lives whether you're black. >>whether you like whether you put in the strike. if you will cop a citizen or just anybody we want to keep you alive and that's why we feel well a handgun at of people $100 while assault rifles were worth 200. the united playaz group says that one in 3 homes with children have guns and may keep them on lot are loaded. >>we'll take a look at this a mountain biker had to be rescued by helicopter pretty scary. it happened this weekend. a bell state park in santa rosa. the sonoma county sheriff says that the biker was suffering from a a severe knee injury when they found him crews airlifted t

tree a guide to growing your wealth thank you both for being here much appreciated as always and kristie i want to start with you what does this latest economic data out of the u.s. mean. i mean this number is great and we can highlight it's aimed at this is a record pace for grows more willing back growth was entirely fell by more than the 3 trillion dollars a pandemic relief and this rebounds all of its 31.4 percent rate of contraction in the april and june quarter so by comparison the economy is still about 3.5 percent below its level at the end of $29000.00 so that number isn't actually all that great so consumer spending which accounts for more than 2 thirds of the u.s. economy economic activity led the broader country last quarter but now consumption has cooled off quite a bit with retail sales declining in the october and november as unemployment some states face expiration so 1st time applications for weekly unemployment benefits artists 3 months high so there's still a lot of stress in the labor market many household incomes have completely depleted and most economists now expec

now kristie there's a new credit suisse report regarding accelerating socio economic trends dudek overnight take a break down that report for us. so those are all truly interesting and it further highlighted these trends that we were already previously aware of but now code has accelerated those trends so this includes the digitalisation of everyday life that trend towards more flexible work arrangements and work from home telecommunicating ability cashless payments increase on demand a limited capability increase decentralization away from urban areas so by allowing more remote work congested cities such as manhattan los angeles and chicago there are no longer attractive living spaces and we've seen massive exodus from the city as people flock with the neighboring areas a more rural location smaller cities where you get more value for the dollar in terms of real estate so remote work looks like it's here to stay as it's more cost is a more cost effective solution in the long term as well for businesses so the demand for office space and business travel will likely decrease and not recover

kristie i want to start with you now u.s. china relations are more strained than we have seen in decades one of the biggest factors creating that strain. there are a lot of factors that are creating a strain like let's start with the obvious where the trumpet ministration is accusing china of unfair trade practices and corporate espionage and these allegations have allowed truck to launch a series tariff or that billions off trade last year and then have reciprocal sanctions on public officials restrictions on that and all that leads to a tax a black or a recumbent such as and the subsequent attack were a battleground where many many casualties on both fronts including all the semi's the middle chance and the downstream suppliers and by we have the u.s. blaming china for the coronavirus endemic calling it the china virus and scapegoating so there's a lot of back and forth at the root of all of this is that the u.s. for the very 1st time in history feels threatened by a rising power china's influence in trade media infrastruct

unlike trump is a little bit more predictable so that may change the course of the relationship but kristie the e.u. they also want to revive ties with the u.s. ahead of this inauguration for joe biden one of the goals of this alliance. well like will said after relations between the u.s. and e.u. got intense pretty much due to the trump and restraint and the e.u. is now hoping to soothe things over and get things back on track to where they were before and so the main issues on the table that they clash with trump about included trade defense technology or foreign relations just to name a few so now that you have to find 4 major policy areas to focus on that includes health response climate change trade and tech and security so going forward the e.u. commission said that they want a transatlantic dialogue on the responsibility of a big tech and to find global solutions for fair taxation is a market distortions in the digital economy so the basic idea is to have in more harmonized stance and finally come to an agreement on how to tax these big tech companies so that you had originally hoped

but will we'll see where they stand as they continue to meet on a monthly basis bill must co-host kristie i. open my feet thank you both so much for breaking this down for us. the boeing 737 max is set to return to the sky while some in the aviation industry are excited about the news relatives of victims who died and disaster is tied to the passenger jet well they're outraged by the idea artie's alex myhill bitch has the latest. as technicians give the controversial judge the green light. families of those who died while flying on boeing 737 max eights say the plane should not be allowed in the air days saying the plane is safe but they haven't. because of the crash a total of $346.00 people died in 2 separate $737.00 max related disasters one in indonesia the other in ethiopia causing the plane to be grounded in march 2019 the incidents were blamed on an automated flight control system used by the aircraft however this november after what the u.s. federal aviation authority called a comprehensive and methodical review the plane was cleared for takeoff once again for the 1st time in 20 m

so-called entity list including 60 chinese companies for more on this we bring the total of 50 i kristie how does this affect mick well this is really concerning as this designation basically restricts companies from exporting u.s. or technology to these firms like snake without a license so this effectively prohibits as i see from acquiring technology to build chips and then a meter circuits and smaller which is the industry's top class of chips and this move is now being seen as the latest effort to cement comes a legacy of being tough on china so these latest policies are going to make it significantly more difficult for the incoming administration to unwind and restore so it's kind of almost like last herat attempt so this move also significantly raises the pressure on the chip maker who receives billions of dollars in state acting and is central to beijing strive to improve the country's self-sufficiency in critical technologies like sons so china responded to this and called washington to stop its arbitrary suppression of chinese companies and chinese foreign ministry said that the

also very much worse in her concerns on national security technology theft and on and all of that kristie speaking of of the trade war though it seems like it's continuing to escalate beijing is now responding what is the latest what are they saying. well after trump introduced an executive order against a range of chinese firms arguing that they could not as they do but they could share data with chinese government china has also decided to respond to china has now introduced tough new laws which restrict the export of controlled items these items being related to military technology and other products on my harm china's national security so these new laws come into effect tuesday which could escalate the ongoing trade war with the u.s. so specifically these new law established several categories of control items which include nuclear military items and will use items that could be used for both civilian and military purposes now ai and algorithm were also included in these tests how to cory's as this was prompted by the u.s. is an os tick-tock so the other item the big one was rare eart

max good to see you both sides are sitting this as a success but other any real winners here yeah kristie let me let me start by by by saying that this is most likely the 1st trade deal in history that hasn't made the trade relations better but effectively worse now what you got was access to the e.u.'s internal market with 0 quotas 0 terrorist but under strict rules this is going to avoid chaos at the end of the year and cushion the fallout of brics and so this could be seen as a win for both sides in a way of course in the 1st place this wouldn't have been strictly necessary now this is a very this is a very complex deal this is what we're looking at 2000 pages of legal text and so we really haven't started understanding all of the details yet of this deal what it entails but there is going to be what the one thing is for sure we just heard the example with officials with the e.u. fisheries with the u.k. fishers there's going to be a lot of disappointment and winners and losers on many levels right and the houses being sold then max in brussels and in london. right so you can imagine 4
