For more were joined by Georgia State lawmaker erika thomas and former Georgia State lawmaker dee Hawkins Hagler. Thank you so much for joining me today d. A lot of unrest it doesnt look like its going anywhere lets start with you Many Companies are coming out with the white text on a black background showing support for this racial inequality amazon was one of them they tweeted out the following on sunday they may say they stand in solidarity with the black community but the ecommerce giant has 0 black executives they also have a secret deal with more than 400. 00 Police Departments there with Home Security brand ring that essentially allows Law Enforcement officials to access a portal asking owners to provide footage thats relevant to a criminal investigation not to mention they did fire an africanamerican last month a warehouse worker who reported Health Concerns over the chrono virus is about a bit hypocritical. Thank you for having us today so yes i think the amazon has to rise to the occasion they not only have to talk the talk with they have to walk the walk it is very disingenuous to say that you are in the fight against racial oppression or suppression or equality and then you only have very minimal people in the leadership in your company but amazon however they have none of them really Senior Management so they have to do a better job with that so amazon i see even though they did put out a statement which is more than most companies do they still have a lot of work to do especially when africanamericans use amazon and presumes levels because im one of those people who sit at home as use amazon specially doing coke with my team because i didnt have anything else to do but to shop and although i think i think amazon has to do a better job with their well and they definitely need to come forward and raise their standards with salute lee erica prior to the pandemic minority communities that were doing better economically this was compared to previous years but they were still struggling to see the significant gains and Household Income savings and even credit worthiness there is that theyve been more likely to hold many office or many of the public facing jobs as well that are on hold now due to the coronavirus well the current pandemic in this Political Climate is it just going to further illustrate this current divide that were seeing or world will we see some sort of shift where public facing workers begin to to seek other forms of remote work. Youre so right about those numbers and of course the africanamericans are experiencing larger numbers that are at risk higher jobs that are at risk to this pandemic and i dont think that as of right now or in the near future that were seeing any of those numbers start to go down i mean look at what is going on in the last couple of days we went from a pandemic to pandemonium and it has shallow shined a light that 40 percent of africanamericans are less. Likely to own a home you know even in our in where we live now in atlanta the average Household Income for a White American is over 84000 and the average Household Income for an African American is 26000. 00 and so we have to make sure that with these protesters and with us standing out and letting our voices be heard that we are screaming these numbers from the right rooftops and people need to get upset and angry so that we can change this because in till we change structural inequality there will still be riots for years to come and i believe this is a an issue that the both sides both the black community and the White Community and you know a lot of other communities are part of that see this this criminal Justice Reform a much needed erica were all in this together has become a popular slogan during the pandemic however we can all say were on different boats here were all experiencing this very differently a new report by the Economic Policy institute on Race Ethnicity and the economy showed the black Community Like you said experiences some of the highest rates of unemployment yet they also make up most of these frontline workers that consist of one in 6 this is a pretty complex issue were looking at here but how did we get to this point and what should happen moving forward. Well just like you said we are the ones that are on the front lines and with that being said we are there pay needs to show that in these to reflect that these africanamericans are on the front lines and maybe that would help with some of these inequalities i mean if theyre going to risk their lives to make sure that they are Grocery Store workers that theyre firefighters that there are people that are making sure that we get what we need for this pandemic then we need to show that and how do we show that by paying them what they deserve and some other reason why so many of them are are getting sick now the black Unemployment Rate was 5. 8 percent in february thats near a 50 year low but its still higher than the white Unemployment Rate its. Its now after the pandemic at 16. 7 percent this is compared to the white Unemployment Rate at 14. 2 percent what needs to change here well many things need to change 1st of all lets go back one step one step back the reason why many africanamericans take Service Related jobs is because they have not been afforded the same opportunities as many. As it relates to education and funding for school and so that almost often towns put africanamericans in positions where the only job they have to take of those in the Service Industry then lets look at unemployment many africanamericans dont have the luxury of working for jobs when theyre able to work from home i mean thats a disparity even in that in itself because many of the people who have the education who are the have the wherewithal or the connections theyre able to work from home because of the type of jobs that they have and so that only leaves those who are service workers. On the front line to be able to get covered 19 or to be able have to go we are lose your job because the type of job that you have does not afford you the opportunity to work from home but theres so much that we have to talk about every gars to Racial Disparities the income disparity that just look at it from the beginning of time many black people from the time they were brought to this country work for free you have free slave labor and we have never leveled the Playing Field and so when you want somebody to start off from not even ground 0 but negative 20 negative 30 it is very hard to overcome but it takes generation after generation numerous generations to try to over. To overcome that disparity and we have were nowhere close with the policies that we currently have here in the United States of america its been decades of seeing the same thing over and over again i do want to get one more question eric i want to show you some figures here you mentioned the some of the wages and the wage gap now black families and liquid assets have much more much less the white families and 20000 median Household Income for white households with 70 percent higher than for black households look at those not. 70642 versus 41062 what are some of the biggest causes of this divide we have about a minute left. Again just like the honorable the doc is he said we are start starting from the ground negative 0 in so with that being said we have to holster ourselves just to even be able to get some of these jobs some of these higher c. E. O. Jobs in the Senior Management jobs and so i would definitely say is that is start even from the education in these black communities that is being given to us and so we have to make sure that our Education System in the black communities is just as well as when you turn on the other side of the town in these White Communities and thats where it starts if we have the best of the best in education then we we can we can go to the next a mic and make sure that we have the best jobs but it starts from the education level absolutely the education level the resources that are provided to both. Black communities as well so hopefully we see some change its taken too long and not not enough change has happened or changes happened were looking for that change and hopefully these these peaceful protests can call for that Hawkins Hagler and erica thomas thank you so much for making time for us today thank you for having us here. Time now for a quick break but stay here because when we return investors often buy a gold for safe keeping during times of recession and on the rest but well tell you why so many people may now be turning to sober as we go to break here the numbers up close. We go to work so you stray hold. Of there was a clip of you all know you sleep. The way its always at the back i was a guy who more work on the late. Not so much you know we didnt think the media was helpful to but they can put us in a movie at the current build up by the Smithsonian National eating open to capital to the cooking that at the iowa. City they have a pathway yes long as they get e. S. Up. Rage in destruction fear and despair how has the United States found itself in such a state of turmoil growing income inequality and systemic racism or a choice in politics take your pick what is the difference between a protest and a riot and is it accurate to say the us has become a space. Odyssey no team no crowd. No shots no. Actual music belts because. Well its true no 1st of all. Points your thirst for action. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person with those but. No dares thinks. We dare to ask. The past few months have proven to be unpredictable well weve seen record volatility in the markets thanks to the pandemic and an Unemployment Rate of 14. 7 percent and now out in mass demonstrations and wall street is still gaining back from march lows well joining. Us cohost Christi I Kristie despite the unrest across america in every major city the equities market is up once again well this is very different than how the Hong Kong Market behaved during their protests whats going on in the market. Well thoughts are flat as a reopening bounces kind of losing steam and there is again that rotation that weve been seeing as loggers are coming back into line so that we might have largely ignored the unrest and said the focus is on the progress of the economic reopening so you have names like the airlines retailers and cruise lines getting bid up and i dont want to sound heartless but the market is blind to social justice because the bottom line of the publicly traded companies is not being affected most of the companies that are being looted most of the businesses that are being destroyed and damaged they are mom and pop shops not the publicly traded names so therefore the equities market is completely blind to all the rest sell at the end of the day investors are simply trying to make money so once again theyre crowding into the stay at home economy and Consumer Staples names but right now the problem is that the divergence between stock market and economies a couple months have gone too exuberant investors are still too overly optimistic that corporate earnings and profits will catch up and rebound and will recover once a lock down to lift it but historically that has never been the case so now policymakers are putting negative Interest Rates back on the table as a potential option in order to get the American Economy back to health thats right a lot of Small Businesses have already been struggling because of the pandemic and now because of these these protests christine you asked them its have been really saying that the coronavirus pandemic could cost the economy of 2 trillion dollars over the next 10 years what is this based off of. Though this is a new estimate that through fiscal 2030 the colonel buys pandemic will reduce the real economic output by 3 percent from initial estimates so that would mean quite to almost a trillion over the next decade and this is issued by the Congressional Budget Office and they base this figure on estimates from business closures unemployment Energy Demand and travel restriction so nominal g. D. P. Is expected to be 15. 7 trillion or 5. 3 percent less than original forecast and right now despite the 2. 00 trillion dollar care act already implemented congress is now debating. Another package that could reach up to 3 trillion dollars so this 3 trillion dollars package is meant to supplement and renew several of the federal programs are set to expire including a temporary boost to Unemployment Benefits that will lapse by the end of july so analysts estimate that the 2nd quarter is still likely to see the big g. D. P. Drop in u. S. History while unemployment for may is expected me near 20 percent which is the highest since the Great Depression when as more commies are reopening as well that could also be in effect we have a minute left quick question as tensions continue between the u. S. And china under threats of decoupling what is china doing to prepare for this. So china has actually unveil a package of special policy for hina and which includes scrapping import duties in an effort to turn this island into a free trade port in order to replace hong kong so this would dampen the risk of a decoupling with the u. S. This planet will also lower the income tax rate for selected individuals and companies to 15 percent which is the same as hong kong and relaxing these are requirements for tourists and business travelers imported goods will be terror free and that includes manufacturing equipment vehicles ships planes Raw Materials and consumer goods so this project to make and to a regional trade shopping and shipping center has been in the works for some time now so its no surprise but the blueprint of it has finally been released as a threat decoupling grows and the u. S. Said last week that it plans to strip hong kong of that special trade status last week so even though it has all these new incentives and policies that are made to kind of mall into a hong kong 2. 0 its still going to remain a big challenge as currently in economic driver is providing basically winter homes for mainlanders looking to extend the cold its gross g. D. P. Was only 530000000000 last year which is point 5 percent of the National Total so its going to take some time before you can grow into another trait court such as hong kong or singapore on and u. S. And china have been at odds for a while now hopefully this doesnt lead to Something Else a bigger than the trade war that weve been seeing but with cohost kristie i thank you for the analysis. Thank you. Its been a tough couple of days for gold and silver prices in Global Markets gold prices have fallen for the 3rd time in 4 days while losses in gold were capped due to china u. S. Tensions as we just spoke to kristie protest in the United States and a weaker dollar spot gold was down 0 point one percent 1738 dollars and 12 cents per ounce platinum was a point 3 percent to 8 150. 10 and silver fell point 5 percent to 18. 17 well joining me now to discuss them both cohost and investigative journalist ben swan and peter schiff c. E. O. Of Euro Pacific Capital. Ben or peter im sorry lets start with you let me ask you how much of the slowing of this gold and silver prices is due to the easing of the coronavirus restrictions and not just in the United States but globally. Well i dont think it really relates that at all i think what we have had is a rally in Global Stock Markets weve also seen a bit of a sell off in the dollar and some of the other safe haven currencies like the japanese yen and the swiss franc and i think that the gold got caught up in that a little bit as well as enthusiasm for the u. S. Stock market but remember the only reason the u. S. Stock market is going up is because of the fed we have bad Economic News now we have the riots the looting which is making a bad economy worse and so the worse the economy gets the more money the Federal Reserve prints and so the more stocks investors want to buy but when the fed is creating inflation youre better off buying gold in the s. And p. 500. 00 and were looking at a possibility of some hyper inflation here with that speaking of the Federal Reserve ben theres talk that the fed is going to go to negative Interest Rates if that happens what kind of effect might it have on these prices for gold. Well i think of that happens and were going to see it be very good for gold because you know gold there are some analysts who are looking at it saying that if that happens gold could actually hit an all time high simply because of the fact that negative Interest Rates would have that effect on safe haven assets but again i think what peter saying is very true theres a whole series of issues they deal with the Federal Reserve and how the Federal Reserve has been conducting itself over the past few weeks and months and really years but especially during coronavirus i think what were going to see is that the more moves the fed makes the better it is for any kind of safe haven asset because the fed continually demonstrates that it is erratic in its behavior its not based in any kind of sound fiscal policy its not based in anything that deals with the future and what future economies will look like its all kneejerk reactions to prop up an economy that is almost on life support these metals seem to be a pretty safe haven but staying with ben silver is in a different space and gold because it is an industrial model and there are analysts who are predicting that silver is poised to go through the roof why is that. Well because of exactly what you just said so silver is different from gold in that it is an industrial metal and it is used for industrial purposes so right now while silver is certainly cheaper than gold as we watch the economies around the world start back up again there are a lot of analysts who believe that they will see a huge push into silver from a lot of folks simply because there are actual you know functions for it in the industrial sector as opposed to gold where gold is more of the store of value Precious Metals so its very possible will see silver rise to maybe even all time highs on its own as a result of this peter what do you think do you see silver heading over the next few months where do you see it heading. I think silver is certainly bottomed out not only in dollar terms but in terms of gold you know silver recently hit all time record lows and priced in gold you could buy 120. 00 ounces of silver for one ounce of gold that had never happened before i think in the history of. Mankind or at least since weve been keeping records right now that ratio is about 95 to one but that still means you get a lot of silver for one ounce of gold that i agree with ben i think the silver price is going to go much higher could take a little while before it hits a record high i remember in 2011 it got up to 50. 00 an ounce so we need to triple proximately to get up there now but i think that is going to happen it is going to be a general commodity bull market thats going to include a lot of commodities and the Precious Metals when we really start to see the consequences of all the inflation that the Federal Reserve is not only created in the past that is creating now but even more inflation that is going to create a future that is going to manifest itself in a sharply lower dollar against other fee currencies thats going to really drive the demand for safe havens like gold and silver and were also going to see big increases in Consumer Prices whether we see negative nominal Interest Rates its still a coin toss but we already have a negative real Interest Rates and thats going to get bigger and bigger because the rate of inflation is going to keep going up yet the fed is going to be stuck in 0 because if they raise rates to fight inflation they collapse the bubble economy right and that could be a threat to a shortage of gold thats now were saying well that was peter schiff on Euro Pacific Capital and the west coast investigative journalist ben swan thanks so much.
