RT Boom Bust July 12, 2024

Socialism professor Richard Wolfe professor as always thank you for being with us today lets start with the shares in Chinese Telecom companies that have jumped following these loosened sanctions as i just mentioned u. S. Secretary of commerce will be while we remains a Serious National Security concern but is this the start of the u. S. Essential e backing down. Absolutely if this is a should leave the United States widely expected for some time and as a response not only to pressure from American Companies that want to walk away and rely on business with. Initial pressure from all the countries germany is a prime example that have already embedded while way. Which is among the best in the world i mean a little dish in the long run jus wont be ready as better chips will go to the United States. In telecommunications and this is the recognition that the chinese really already completed or you believe the highest level and yes its. Because you become too expensive for the United States who legally or economically well hold on to this pasture of. Chinese will prosper while weight has been at the heart of the us china tensions at the heart of the trade war now that the phase one deal has been signed and both countries have touched on the progress that theyve made a former finance minister and cabinet adviser for china. Last week actually said that the 2 countries what it waste or shouldnt waste any time rather on improving their relations he said quote china emphasizes that we should work hard together to ensure the implementation of the phase one agreement are we essentially going to see the u. S. A lemon a all sanctions against wall way and a possible phase to deal. Well i think its a political question i think the chinese are quite right they understand american politics this is basically now a question whether the administration of mr trump going to be election will want to position itself as a good tough and the chinese or the person who is making a deal with the chinese that will benefit the u. S. Economy one of the other strategy will be chosen and then the Public Relations will come out the way mr orourke strike to say we were just as concerned about security as we were before which is the opposite of what he said a couple of months ago this is a political issue now to be determined by the strategic plans of the u. S. That ministration its been a political issue for quite some time now i mean on the show weve previously discussed weiwei and like you mentioned while wayside the patents now of the Telecom Giant owns most of them on 5 g. How will the u. S. Essential how will they at the how theyll have to essentially pay wall way write the spite the span of whats going on there. Well the 2 leading technologies in 5 g. Are the finnish war ration erikson and the wildly cooperation of china the United States has been defeated in the area its not the cutting edge and by the way punishing china makes no more sense than punishing finland if the parent country got ahold of the thinnish access codes the same issues would arise whats the world is interconnected we are already linked in many ways look how quickly the virus spread from one corner of the world to the other the notion that you can identify and punish one country and control technology is wrong it never works and i think this is all a recognition that china has now fully and the world of leading technology and will be there for the foreseeable future or faster if i want to take it over overseas her for a minute here and now that the u. S. Seems to be easing these restrictions well and brazil for example recently the u. S. Ambassador to brazil todd chapman told that is how paul and his paper that the 2 countries there and talks to fund this new 5 g. Product and theyre saying that this would allow the u. S. To fund nokia and ericsson equipment and installation by local brazilian talcum companies what do you make of this continue fight for to be the 1st in 5 g. And in the specially in these major developing countries. Well i think data really cut their deals with while away and they dont want to lose of and the americans are not prepared to give them the amounts of money weve got because were talking billions of dollars to make an expensive shift a shift it takes a long time this is the same concern that has led the british to kind of not deal with the United States on this day its made the germans threaten the United States that if they push through were just the germans are going to suffer and theyre going to make the United States pay for that you put all this together and it just isnt worthwhile to go. Charlie you got to carry you know what should. Or so and. When you fill out so where he lives and and then i want to see the only brazil anyway we wont wait. To do more and were learning 5 g. Is practically and evitable without some sort of wall way is what it seems professor Richard Wolffe host of economics of day and author of understanding socialism as always thank you for your time today thank you. The boeing 737 max jetliner has been grounded since march of 2019 after 2 crashes killed 346 people for more than a year congressional investigators have been seeking documents and interviews with f. A. A. Officials in an investigation to see if boeing and the f. A. A. Had a cozy relationship and overlooked problems with at 737 max well today the federal Aviation Administration chief testified before the Senate Commerce committee our future products joins me now with more on this affair and what did he admit to the f a a and boeing did they have a little bit too close a relationship so there i mean to say that chief steve dixon was grilled by senators today is a total and complete understatement you had tons exchanges between all the senators and dixon but the short answer is he did not admit to the the f. A. A. And boeing being too close unfortunately the senates investigation in fact the f. A. A. Has been stonewalling lawmakers actually by either taking forever to turn over documents that theyve been asked to give congress or just not even turning them over at all which was the committees actually biggest frustration today listen here. But you make every document bailable every document its an easy question its an easy question is it is it will you make every document available for the public. Senator im not im not sure what normal protocol is on that but we will be as transparent as you possibly can no no thats not the question not as you can thats what happened the last time you werent transparent the last time will you commit to making every document public. Sooner im not im not in a position to commit to that at this point well if you have not been youre caught a cover up well also a surprising fact uncovered by senator ted cruz of texas listen here. Has anyone at f. A. A. Been fired. There have been changes in leadership in various areas no one has been fired over this particular matter up to this point had anyone been disciplined over this matter. No not specifically so unknown somebody made unspecified mistakes for which there had been no repercussions is that right i would not say that there would not be reap repercussions well please tell us the repercussions the repercussions or that we or we have significant reforms were making to the process. So yeah a tough day for steve dixon but he did say that he is committed to the oversight process and he also did admit that both the f. A. A. And boeing did make mistakes when it came to approving the 737 max too soon however it is important to note there that since these 2 crashes happened actually had a number of people fired over at boeing including their c. E. O. Dennis mullen burke who was let go back in december welfare and this comes just a day after a new bill was brought forward the aircrafts safety and certification reform act what does that bill contains so that this is actually the most significant step towards accountability following those 2 crashes because it is forcing lawmakers to look at how the f. A. A. Approves new airplanes now this bill completely eliminates airline makers like boeing from having an influence on the certification process the bill gives the f. A. A. A total of 40 to hire or fire boeing employee employees doing f. A. A. Certifications it brings in safety advisers and also protects whistleblowers because as we saw with boeing there were leaks Text Messages between pilots about the 737 max during the testing phase saying the systems were faulty but they were too afraid to come forward and well it sounds Like Congress is putting a lot of responsibility on the day but like boeing they too have made mistakes and how is this going to look Going Forward so it does help the i think they obviously as you said have more authority but its also very very easy for congress to say after the fact however congress is just as guilty and all that went down with boeing listen here. Congress has allowed things they are allowed and given levity to on certain things and you know. I think that they do they have good faith in what was going to be doing with this with this authority that they were going to but i think that its been abused thats the congressional power they have been given the money by congress to to to fund these cuts of of this story operation so sarah when it comes to funding and this bill you know dixon says that he doesnt he doesnt think that the f. A. A. Hiring and firing thats going to add to the safety process but as far as the bill it would actually give the f. A. A. 150000000. 00 over 10 years for the new training procedures and thats something that dixon said would be extremely helpful for the f. A. A. Lets hope for the r. T. Correspondent thank you for that report. Markets are on the rise or to hold onto this 4 day winning streak coming out of tuesday sharp gains we want to bring in a room with cohost christi i to talk about the markets kristie whats going on here. Well doesnt look like the market optimism has resulted in a kind of an over what situation here and especially as we move forward were going into the summer lol well it wont be any that much new data or catalyst its going to be a data law its going to be a data vacuum where liquid you know will also be very thin and so thats going to impact trading and volatility and we might see some dramatic swings up or down but as one creator in all week or pretty much all month long the market is being kept well supported and fully inflated by the constant injections by this of a bank this is a very well supported market here and its hard to keep that down so right now there is a bias for positive news over negative news however theres still a lot of concern right now as beijing has just reported that it will be shutting down schools again amid a resurgence of one of ours outbreak we all priced in this recovery a sharp quick recovery and a bounce but how can we get that when the reality and the data showing that a 2nd wave is already coming as new cases are escalating again in asia texas and arizona where you just mentioned the big bounce what are we looking at here this year shaped recovery v. Shaped recovery so many predictions here what exactly if anything can you say we could possibly expect especially with the 2nd resurgence. Well given the data so far its very difficult for me to believe that we will even get that balance or you bounce now that were talking about the economy here not the market to be very very different thing seeing as how the market has just completely decoupled from reality with all the support and actions and given so look weve had a weaker than expected Industrial Production and may manufacturing output its still new to lows of the Great Recession and Capacity Utilization is only about 2 percent higher than what it was during the Great Recession retail sales apparently surged up yesterday but off of the very low base and the numbers are still well below pretty pandemic levels and then the stimulus checks they helped a bit at the 1st time around but now ill keep us and all of it and they skipped out on mortgage payments and credit card bills theres about 30 percent of americans who do not pay their mortgage payment last month so whats going to happen a month later from now when all of that comes due again and then on top of that we still have 20000000. 00 people out of work and not liking to be working the same number of hours again come the summer so with all this its really difficult to believe that the economy will bounce right back to the way it was before certainly doesnt seem like it that was boom bust cohost christine i hang here because we have more to discuss with you right after the break time now for that break but stay here because when we return we take a special look at and what we can expect from the cryptocurrency in the age of the coronavirus now as we go to break here the numbers are. We go to work see you straight home from. The deep history of the book of just a nonconformist utopia or a politically correct tell take your dig nonetheless the experiment being played out in seattle is no laughing matter the ideas of law and order and the legitimate use of force are at stake a piece of advice go visit shots before chasse visits you. In the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of Northern Ireland that was coordinated loyalist attacks to take the only population of belfast tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes and what was striking to point these attacks was that the r. U. C. The Police Actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing they were active participants in the burning of coal streets in belfast at the time more than a 100 innocent civilians were unloaded as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and integrates which the collusion was involved in some of those cases the killers would later be named the dylan and getting i think it went to the very very top i think it is cross the water where all the patients you thought was going on and give the go ahead. 6. Console you cant get away from advertisement and gene you change your appearance as many local people see plastics.

Most every teenager dreams of looking just straight i dont. Know. No shots. Actually. Going to drive no difference to. Switch your thirst for. The European Union has launched 2 formal antitrust investigations into apples app store and apple pay the 1st probe is over apples overtax and some competition issues with spotify filed a complaint over apple allegedly restricting rules for the developers that use the app store and limits users to choice to favor its own Apple Music Service will rock attend filed a similar complaint alleging that apple takes about 30 Percent Commission on a ti books while favoring its own apple books will in effect an investigation its looking into apple pay and whether or not it violates e. U. Competition rules the e. U. Is concerned that apple is limiting or disabling altogether in purchases stems e. U. Executive Vice President Margaret Messager said it appears that apple obtained a gatekeeper role when it comes to the distribution of apps and content to users of apples popular devices while apple defended its practices on both fronts and said. Its disappointing the European Commission is advancing baseless complaints from a handful of companies who simply want to free ride and dont want to play by the same rules as everyone else. To coin is on its way back up as the Worlds Largest crypto has climbed up over 1600. 00 again as it attempts to clear that 10000. 00 mark with a question how will that quinn break through this resistance or will it come back down again well joining us now to discuss our boom bust cohosts christiane and ben swan chrystia lets start with you what are we expecting to see or what do you what do you think will come from that coin over the next few days and weeks. Well right now ill toys are actually the ones that are contained just show a good sense of dominance but with big question were back in the ascending ledge so im actually pretty neutral here rather than overly optimistic we bought the diff and back and now were back in the mid 9000 where you have some very stable solid support but i would be a pragmatic optimist here because what is concerning is the lack of volume theres not a lot of follow through not a lot of trading going on fame as we just mentioned in the equity markets right now as were going to the summer lull so what we are going to watch here if we do get a breakout the next thing were going to be looking for is a new relative high and theres a lot of evidence that we will be getting that soon because in particular with the looking at the pilot always what these hallways are in active held by these die hard because when investors long term holders the core base so right now weve reached a 4 year high in the hallway its now over 60 percent so that means that there are more people taking short term positions and out which means less volatility in the market and i supply and demand go with increased ability and more long term holders were building 2 larger and larger bowl cycles and each time you come the next wave well then some analysts are saying that they coined could even climb as high as 12000. 00 why is that. Yeah i think what christy just said really bears into that as well which is essentially this that big coin has found kind of its new low which is around 8600 and if that becomes the new low the not the 363500 but 8600 now were looking at a new kind of jumping off point so as far as moving past this 10000 dollar mark i think we very well may do that and some analysts are saying we could go to around 12000. 00 that absolutely could happen because
