Its time to move your news i hear. Its a move no one seen in decades on monday oil prices plunged into the negatives prompting President Trump to make this announcement were looking to put as much as 75000000000 barrels into the reserves themselves that would top it out it would be 1st time in a long time its been good for the rate brace. Now adding that much oil is a major task but where do you store it meantime Oil Prices Continue their downward spiral today for more on all of this lets bring in our fronsac shes been following the story fair and this is the 1st time in history right that that oil has dropped below 0 right now and you know this is really a domino effect all from the coronavirus. Now people have these stay at home orders so people are there driving last no ones flying anywhere so you have all this extra oil not being used and theres only so much oil the world can store and were already bumping up against the limits of Storage Capacity and thats why were continuing to see the price to continue to sink now as for storing that much oil the department of energy is currently trying to lease some 70 7000000. 00 barrels of Available Space in the Strategic Petroleum reserve created after the 973. 00 oil embargo now cheap oil leads to cheaper prices at the pump which is a big win for customers but data shows gas is down 50 percent right now compared to this time last year but again the demand is at an all time low as one oil industry analyst explains this is a no win situation you will. Is going through. A list of best. Jobs. I know analysts say that the direct impact is going to be purely in terms of the job loss that they forecast with Companies Either going through their bankruptcies because they cant sustain these low prices or because they are going to have to cut down production because they wont have be able to sell the oil at that low price and fair a lot of these Oil Producers cant shut these wells down fast enough opec and the g. 20 production their cuts are are happening what in may so now you have saudi arabia and opec talking about moving that date up now they are and actually another big oil producer here russia actually they saw the same effects too with the ruble dropping in value overnight but russian president Vladimir Putin his office says that this is the should not be looked at from an apocalyptic angle he says now putin says that there is no plan as of this moment to set up another call with President Trump to look over the Oil Market Situation but it could be arranged quickly one analyst points out to fix the situation the biggest producers russia and saudi arabia they would reduce the amount of oil that theyre offering to clients across the world listen here. Should. Gradually create some kind of. One. Demand for oil and. Good montreux find programs comes back probably 6 months. 6 months from now u. S. Oil Companies Like chevron so that they will reduce their output but marshall a commodities trader was quoted in the wall street journal saying this quote this will be a huge wake up call for a complacent Oil Company Chiefs if they do nothing and sit there like rabbits waiting to be hit by a car theyll be hit i wouldnt be surprised to see more layoffs its got serious now so again some analysts project this wont get cleared up for another 6 months but some actually project this will go all the way into 2021 meantime President Donald Trump just or the Energy Secretary and treasury secretary to come up with a plan to get funding to the u. S. Oil and gas industry as crude Oil Continues to sink and price manilla when its all of this going to end in front that thank you for filing that report. Is now introducing its own Digital Currency in a Pilot Program that will be 1st instituted across just 4 cities now internal test of the Digital Currency are being conducted in shenzhen suzhou 0 chandu and shown on the Satellite City of beijing to improve the currencies functionality so joining us to discuss and probably explain boom bust cohost and investigative journalist ben swan ok ben so explain this to us this is a Digital Currency it sounds a lot like crypto currency like bitcoin is it or is it different. It only sounds like it in every other way other than being a Digital Currency its nothing like crypto currency its more like Facebooks Libra because thats also not a crypto currency and the big difference is clearly the fact that you have the peoples bank of china which will be issuing this they dont even have a name for it yet theyre calling it. D. C. For Digital Currency or e. C. For electronic currency and essentially it would you know be set up as a Digital Currency but theres no privacy theres no way of not being tracked through it in fact the Chinese Government would not only be able to track everything youre doing with it but would have access to your Bank Accounts that youre putting these funds in to be able to monitor those Bank Accounts at all times so its nothing like a crypto currency in terms of privacy or protection ok yet totally not crypto and bad is the the goal i mean whats the point here if there is no there if you can track everything better than you can with with paper money is the goal of this currency to eventually replace all that cash and paper money and for china to become like completely a Digital Currency society. Well look i think the chinese will say and they are saying that its not going to replace all cash you know things with remain the same it would just take some cash out of the system and move it into the system i dont believe that at all i believe that absolutely the long term goal here is to replace all cash 1st of all a lot of the Asian Countries are already nearly cashless societies theyre much further ahead than we are in the west in terms of using Digital Payment systems and apps on their phones to pay for things with this system eventually you get to the point where yet people cant deal in cash at all and by trying to make cash as worthless as possible then you remove the kind of the black Market Element to it people avoiding taxation and government gets to control the currency supply to an even greater extent so i dont believe them when they say they dont want the whole system to go that way look the reality is the positive actual crypto currency is bypassing banks and peer to peer transactions but the negative side of Digital Currency is that government gets to own monitor and control all currency now real quickly i know the u. S. Has a lot of irons in the fire especially with corona virus happening in this country and all over the world but is there any chatter that the u. S. Treasury might be working on its own money i mean i heart for me to imagine the u. S. Government linking up dont i mean this directly and overly with facebook i do magine the u. S. Government would want to do its own right where you would think that and i would say in the past you are absolutely right but weve seen a very strange kind of quantum leap here in the last few years where a lot of federal agencies and Government Agencies have outsourced spying Data Collection you know privacy violations monitoring of citizens to Big Tech Companies this might just be another thing that gets outsourced to a Big Tech Company i do know this that as of last year when libor was being talked about pretty heavily and Mark Zuckerberg came under a lot of scrutiny over the libor association and exactly what libor is in the libor wall. Remember he was in front of the senate on yes there were a couple of comments made that the Federal Reserve had looked at doing it but the u. S. Treasury itself has never really considered it and is so far behind so far behind the rest of the world especially china that the only way to fast track it would be to work with a group like facebook and again thats why i suspect that behind the scenes there are conversations going on where Facebook Says were already way ahead of you lets find some way to Work Together and as i said its been happening in other forms and i mean let me just throw out there that a lot of government offices here in d. C. Are still operating on like windows 11 so you know lets just say arent ology is not is not there. You know a lever right pair and then someone thank you so much for that update green Party President ial candidate how we hawkins recently had his Campaign Twitter account totally expelled along with a number of nonmainstream voices in the media and social activists its a growing trend that seems to be clamping down on free speech as we draw closer to the elections in november so to the fest this we are joined by how we hawkins himself so how we please 1st explain to us what should happen to you and your account i understand they believe your account was fraudulent in that you were impersonating yourself. Yeah how do you even do that. You know we got a notice that somebody was impersonating but nobody talked to me you know to didnt talk to me we just got the notice the news on the notice a couple paragraphs no one says thanks twitter no ability to feel. Theres a click please weekly get to complaints it looks like somebody could have impersonated me to say somebody was impersonating but with no ability to appeal is a problem so weve contacted the electronic route was it called the freedom from to your foundation. And asked for help you know hopefully this is just a dumb mistake and you know if he had censorship and bias against 3rd Party Candidates and its a real problem. Yeah i mean youre clearly not alone in having this happen to them number of non Mainstream Media journalists some activists and just boyces that dont tend to toe the mainstream narrative have also had their accounts eliminated and mind you i say eliminated not suspended because you know being suspended means that theres a chance that you can come back these people just been wiped off the map why do you think this is happening right now. I really dont have a good idea. We can speculate you know i think about people like politicians like Elizabeth Warren and donald trump they have personal twitter accounts and Campaign Twitter now its what i had to use wiped out my Campaign Account you know we want were looking for answers we dont have a while so no ones gotten back to you and youre absolutely right on that there are you know celebrities even not just government officials but mainly government officials you see them having Campaign Accounts and personal accounts some of those are private and then some of them are public accounts but people are allowed to have more than one account from what i recall in the terms of service but how we have about this on the flipside platforms like facebook or twitter. Though they are traded on on the stock exchanges people would argue that theyre still private companies. That they have the right to ban who they want because they are not a public utility to that you would say what. Maybe they should be Public Utilities you know these Network Platforms once most people get on to me everybody wants to be on it because its where everybody is this where the information is so facebook is as steady as twitter is instead is amazon has its status and maybe they should be publicly known. Regulated democratically by the public to serve the public road and then the private profits of shareholders who can through their management decide theyre going to exclude some people for their own reasons so i think this raises the whole question of whats the proper Ownership Structure for these platforms they tend toward monopoly because everybody wants to be on a platform where everybody is right a lot of people would would agree with you that this is the New Town Square right everybody is on twitter and thats where us as your opinions so given that they took away your campaign profile what is next for you for the campaign are you going to post up another one and how much damage has this done you know theyve gotten rid of all your followers you get to go out and find new followers. Well my personal account is what were using right now in because i ran 3 campaigns for governor your kinetic count we actually had more followers on that although the other moments growing by leaps and bounds after Bernie Sanders suspended his campaign so hopefully those people who fire my personal account you know i think you know its not just its more like rather than the town square its like the phone lines or a sewer system i mean this is what everybody uses things like Twitter Facebook and amazon so theyre natural monopolies in the classic case republic ownership is natural monopolies all right we will leave it right there we wish you luck and i hope when if you find out what happens from twitter what they say to you you know theres got to be some story answer i hope thats not the end of it but please let us know how we hakan from the green party thank you so much.
