with microsoft, which is an equity shifted toward trump because he's unlikely to participate in the oecdeal that would impose digital services taxes. but td cohen says jd vance could be a big downside. microsoft is on pace for the fourth straight down day. what do you do here? >> i love microsoft here. microsoft at the 50 simple period moving average on a daily chart is typically a great spot to buy it. and especially given the i.t. issues, i would think it would be down more, which speaks to its strength. looking at microsoft, i like it for a buy between 425 and 435, especially going into earnings. and kelly, i'll tell you it typically rallies about 3% in the week after earnings as well. with this stock, i like it for a current buy. you could also sell put credit spreads, buy long calls, and outside targets are going to be 480 to 500 on this stock. >> joe kern was explaining the whole -- and why it's so attractive the other day. i'm learning on the fly. you like microsoft. you also like amd. dan clifton put that in a china trade basket as a potential risk under a china trade war. he see

oecd nations, we're leveling off as far as, particularly, gasoline demand.make the strong argument that in the united states, gasoline demand is in the decline ever since 2019. all the demand growth in gasoline is in more developing economies. jet fuel demand. we're seeing pretty strong jet fuel demand, vacation times, a lot of people choosing to fly versus drive. and then you'll see some people say, well, it's cheaper for me to drive, i'll take this road trip versus flying. but overall, i think we're in a good demand period for now. but usually, after the fourth of july, demand, like, tends to get really choppy, really lumpy, if you will. you'll see some really strong weeks here in the united states, and then you'll see some ones that make you shake your head. as someone who lives near the jersey shore, i'm like, i see millions of cars, i'm trying to get to the beach, and then you see a demand number like that, it makes no sense to me. but sometimes you guys aren't seeing everything around the world. >> getting lumpy. all right, denton, thank you very much.

so we were one of the least efficient, countries in comparable oecd nafions countries in comparable oecdss deaths . excess deaths. >> could that not be partly to do with our own healthcare systems as well? so for example, the nhs is overrun. we are not efficient in treating many conditions anyway. we are probably now one of the worst for treatments like cancer. so could it not be simply that the demise of our own healthcare system and not necessarily fully, the fault of covid? >> well, listen , that's going to >> well, listen, that's going to be an absolutely key factor. but i think when we're talking about lockdowns and when we're talking about the covid response, something that unfortunately the inquiry has not touched on, that significantly yet. we need to we need to provide a really, really serious justification for taking people's civil liberties away for such a long period of time. and when you look at the excess deaths in the uk, the third highest in the seven comparable nafions highest in the seven comparable nations that we looked at, we obviously perform very poorly at a huge co

we have the oecd with the gender network. so just to kind of note what today's discussion connects with, that work of that -- of this community of practice as we kick it off. so we're very thrilled. i will introduce our panel now that we have, experts from different parts of our shared community that are bringing their expertise to the table. we have the senior fellow in the democracy conflict and governance program here at the carnegie endowment for international peace, her research focuses on trends in democracy, gender quality and civic space around the world. we have irene who is the executive director of policy of feminist collective that is among its many other activities, also a partner for us in our transforming digital spaces activity. she has incredible expertise around strengthening policies, legal frameworks around elections, data technology and so on. we have ambassador jacklin o'neill, canada's first ambassador for women, peace and security since 2019. she has advised the government of canada on strengthings i g

that i requested at the weekend shows that had the uk economy grown at just the average rate of other oecd14 years, our economy today would be over £140 billion larger. this could have brought in an additional £58 billion in tax revenues in the last year alone. that's money that could have helped revitalise our schools, our hospitals and other public services . services. >> well, we can now speak with the head of policy at britain remade, sam demetriou. welcome to the show , sam. so it's to the show, sam. so it's a traditional part of a new government coming to power. the first thing they do is blame the last lot for the dreadful state that we're in. and here we go again. but this time, sam, we really, really are in a pickle. old mother hubbard has gone to the cupboard . not only is the the cupboard. not only is the cupboard bare with £2.7 trillion in that, how can labour grow their way out of this mess? >> the number one thing labour can do and i'm very glad that they've decided to make this a priority , is to fix our planning priority, is to fix our planning system. so it is easier to bu

it's true that the uk is probably the most centralised government anywhere in the oecd. worst bit under, under the sunak administration was that local councils could apply to a little pot of money somewhere in whitehall to get chess boards set up in local parks. i mean, you know, each of these chess boards costing £3,000 somehow, i mean, it's amazing how much more the government can spend on something than than anyone else in the country. right? i mean, on local government, i mean, there's been i mean, the power that local government had formally in the 19th century where really a lot of what government did at that point were merely passing what you would call permissive legislation through the example demolition of slum housing so that they could be enacted by some local authorities, but not others. >> you'd have some local authorities like birmingham, the so—called municipal socialist authority, that would tax its residents, the so—called ratepayers. hi. and do things like, for example, you know, build water and various infrastructure and other places where they would

to illustrate how grave the situation is, the oecd says that to maintain a population, the replacementthe r rate, needs to be at least 2.1 children per woman, which means we're facing a growing, ageing population and not enough young people to work drive economic growth and top up the pensions of the older generation. so should the government pay families to have babies ? babies? >> neil parish i think what one great thing we've got to tackle, and this is a pet theme of mine, is the interest that they are paying is the interest that they are paying on student loans, because what you've got is a whole raft of society now who can't afford to have children because they can't get on the housing ladder, and they want to have a decent home before they start a family. so if we were to tackle, that would help. and i think there are other things that can be helped as well. but of course, the cost of childcare, all of those things is putting a lot of people off of having children and of course, you know, joking apart, i'm a farmer. i actually believe in having stock on the farm. right. so you ha
