A beating in the wake of the coronavirus boeing is inching closer to the comeback of at 737 max we have expert analysis on hand to discuss with a packed show today so lets dive right in. And we lead the program with some disheartening Economic News out of the United States new weekly unemployment claims rose for the 1st time in nearly 4 months for the week ending july 18th 1400000 americans filed for benefits according to the u. S. Labor department as states continue to roll back efforts to reopen amid spikes and coping 1000 cases new claims had been declining weekly since the peak of 6900000 jobs lost at the beginning of stay at home orders in late march now meanwhile as the krona virus relief package in the United States is set to expire at the end of july Senate Republicans announced wednesday they had reached an agreement with the white house on what should be included in that next round of funding u. S. Treasury secretary steven minucci and comment on the next package thursday saying that the new plan will extend enhanced Unemployment Insurance based on a roughly 70 percent wage replacement also announced several other provisions in the plan including a nother round of p. P. P. Funding with 2nd checks for Companies Whose revenues have. Have fallen by 50 percent tax credits to encourage businesses to hire workers 16000000000. 00 in new funding for covert 900. 00 testing 105000000000. 00 to support schools in reopening and a nother round of direct payments to individuals now there were no Additional Details provided on that last provision of course this will all face heated debate in congress before moving forward and for more on this next round of stimulus measures and how markets have reacted thursday lets bring in Todd Horowitz chief strategist at bubba trading but always a pleasure to see here i want to start with these unemployment numbers this was the 18th straight week in which it totaled more than 1000000. 00 jobs lost how is this going to affect the decision regarding Unemployment Benefits there has been this proposal to reduce the 600. 00 a week to what could be as much as or as little as one 100. 00 a week is it too soon to really start tightening these stimulus measures. Brought good afternoon they drove me back i think they should stop them i mean thats my opinion look you want to do something give a tax holiday so you know to pay payroll taxes that would be a better bonus because that would actually force many that are sitting home doing nothing but theyre making more by sitting home doing nothing im not a big fan of all this debt theyre creating because at the end of the day it doesnt go anywhere tell people go back to work who can if you cant go to work i understand we can make arrangers but if your review have a job and you go back to work then you should be back at work and give a tax holiday to given that incentive to go back to the job versus saying well as i make it more sit at home why should i go to work and its interesting that you mention that payroll tax holiday because actually the trumpet mr. Mentioned specifically that that was not included in the package as of right now so why arent they moving that that way because i assume many in the administration agree with you on many of these provisions. Because the house will not approve it because again theyd hate to give trouble after 3 and a half years of beating the crap out of them they hate to give them a victory right before the election i mean this whole colbert masses all these jobs lost everything is more political than it is actually the virus yes i understand that i was very serious but if you look at some of the stats from around the globe if you would just let the things alone we wouldnt be in a better shape right now and we wouldnt have as many of these issues but of course you know that palosi and gang are not going to give these guys a break and theyre not going to have a win so the only way they can get something through to try to help the American People is to give them more free money but again im not a fan now but i want to kind of move to markets here were seeing a nasty dip thursday after several consecutive weeks where the markets have just been kind of bubbling up and are we seeing a flight to safety is the market churning risk off or is this just a temporary knee jerk reaction on the unemployment numbers and it will continue marching higher whats a new stimulus package passes. Well my brow looks like the markets appear to still want to go higher you know again youre going to get some pullback some of them as that can innovate no i have to do have a new high so eventually you do get some sellers and we dont go on a Straight Line however the other thing i will say too is ive do believe with this is a big bubble at some point is going to burst now some of the indications are that it may be close now i certainly wouldnt have been a get out to temper a bubble but the way you see certain things is like the overall speed in action and the overall nasdaq the very big swings up and down even intraday so to me you might be seeing a potential rebirth there we know at one point this markets going to crack again and i still believe that sometime this year were probably going to hit the lows that we made in march however im not predicting it today and personally im actually still on but at the end but when you look at markets this is typical type of action and a possible direction change and thats 300. 00 points to me is nothing i mean were talking about a 27. 00 born index i mean 300. 00 points is hardly worth thinking about and that was what i was going to bring up i mean i know you say youre not sure when we might see this but that volatility is going to come back so in your opinion we are going to see at some point probably those 2000 point swings we did see in march which triggered shutoffs in the markets overall so we may see that again but. I couldnt agree more that youre going to see those things happen and i guess obviously we cant time it one is going to happen they dont send me a telegram and say were going to do it now but you can watch the action and be prepared for it and i invest the more important thing were going to get some nasty days again no matter what happens no matter where we going the market and get some nasty selves or but then one thing you want to remember if youre an investor is that the history of the markets if youre playing solid companies its been a half percent year over year not every year but again thats what youre looking very few investors but again as a trade. Are looking for the spot that it will give me the opportunity to crack and sell it and now it was a big earnings week here for u. S. Companies what words you take away from this earnings week. This is the earnings the biggest bunch of b. S. That there is ok look theyre already under delivered they under promise so far how could they not beat him i mean you know you cant step over you know a one inch bar is very difficult they already built this in this is one of the things that you have to understand in markets and how they function is that markets are pretty pricey in a lot of things so you get these beats and what they do they draw in the retail guys that have no idea whats going on and they start firing their money chasing them are because they dont want to which is usually what all the ventry cause the collapse for this is all be of earnings are all b. S. Because its all under promise over deliver in our stock to rise so to me its a bunch of crap well and its interesting that you say that because especially right now in this cycle after youve had 3 months of being shut down you know we have airlines reporting and theyre saying well they beat expectations well theres not really a big deal there when we thought you were to lose 100000000000. 00 but you only lost 89000000000. 00 its really not that big of a win there for you i want to hit this before we leave here as confidence in the central bank continues to sink i know youre a big supporter of the fed more and more investors are piling into gold and other safety assets but in the event of a real downturn it is gold really that safe i mean it does seem to hit record highs every time we have these situations going on gold is not a safe haven play for equities gold is a safe haven by a possibly going to currency against the dollar and of course i can say to you and i believe that there is going to be a big announcement coming out anytime soon now from either the central Banking System or the Federal Reserve that is something because you can see the way theres a gold and silver and platinum are traina theyre all basically on their way to pluto now and that is usually a sign that they know some news is. The way out and i think well probably hear something in the next couple of days that will support this really i think gold gets all time highs but again i dont ever believe the market will go straight up or straight down so at some point we will get a pullback and i have an opportunity but it is not a hedge against an equity portfolio ever thought bubble horror was chief strategist at bubba trading thank you for breaking it all down for the difference. And as the United States has hit another milestone eclipsing 4000000. 00 total cases of cope with 19 the pandemic has claimed the lives of more than 144000. 00 people within the nation so with that in mind lets go ahead and take another global look at the spread of the virus with r. T. Correspondent science editor so i where are we worldwide so brand this is where we are right now u. S. Cases there is now as you said more than 4000000 cases u. S. Deaths its already surpassed 146000 now global cases there are more than 15500000 global deaths over 66 over 633000 deaths now from all the global cases roughly 4. 2 of those people have died so right now thats of the 3 deaths going on with the global cases and now almost 10000000 cases are 2 thirds of all cases globally are from 10 countries and almost half of those cases are reported so far from 3 countries now then there is 5 countries u. S. Brazil india russia and south africa that have the highest cases of new that are the highest numbers of new cases currently while south africa also across the stress hold of 400000 confirmed cases just today now here in the u. S. Cases are trending upward in 39 states while 5 states have just reported their highest daily death toll now texas they just reported 220. 00 deaths bring in the states total to over 4500. 00 florida on the other hand has reported 173. 00 deaths today bringing the states total to over 5500. 00. And at least 157 call that 1000 related this have been reported in california last 24 hours while alabama and i had a whole also a set their highest death record on record for both states so once again brian it just seems the us just had it into the wrong direction. Given the spike here in the United States there has been some travel restrictions for u. S. Citizens tell us about that so when you know global borders being shut down isnt something new for most of the world you know to try traveling with i dont know an iranian passport but a prior to cope at 19 an american passport gave you visa free access to 95 percent of the world while others had to spend thousands just for the privilege of being rejected anyways now cohabit 19 has suddenly made everything very different americans have gone from having access to most of the world to being banned from most of it so right now as an american know all the places you can go so right now open to u. S. Citizens with no restrictions there is European Countries like. North macedonia and serbia and all those red they are you seeing right here these are all the places that are close to u. S. Citizens now again places that are open to u. S. Citizens with no restrictions in western asia you have there is turkey in north africa theres tunisia then islands like demeanor in public and all of these are open to u. S. Citizens lastly there is mexico but only at and close resorts now the most you can do the most you do in these countries that are open to u. S. Citizen is some sort of Temperature Check at the airport then there are this nations that are also welcoming americans but with restrictions now here just a few examples of those restrictions for example you can still go to come bodie but if you can dish out a 3000. 00 covert 19 deposit and kyra listen realistic this is a lot of Young Americans tend to travel to Asian Countries on a budget. Then there is a United Arab Emirates thats open up only to by 2 americans all of the parts of the emirates are still closed so if your flight is to operate dobby will expect to be sent back and then countries that are requiring a 14 day quarantine ecuador and the u. K. Which again is unrealistic because a lot of americans get a maximum of 2 weeks per year so spending that in the quarantine again is just not realistic then there is jamaica which requires that travelers coming from states like new york florida arizona and texas have 2 negative test results within 10 days and then there is countries like that only welcoming americans coming on a private jet so once one of the worlds most powerful travel documents right now the only stamp that makes an american passport usable is one that says vaccine on a brant are 2 correspondents are terms of thank you for keeping us up to date on that. Time now for a quick break but hang here because when we return were going to take a look at the turbulence facing airlines in the aviation manufacturers and in 1000 pandemic and the latest move in the boeings infamous 737 back saga and as we go to break here the numbers at the close. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond short and ill be speaking to us of the world of politics sport im showbusiness ill see that. Syria has been engulfed in civil war almost 10 years its cost hundreds of thousands of lives and displaced a 1000000 small no one foresaw the peaceful protests of 20 of these collating into a complex conflict between various armies geopolitical interests rebel groups just. On this. But if you tell us if you say you hate the. Message look cool. You know deep complex. And over the net i sat down i. Never sessoms them other than the shame what i did on the stuff they show up to hear. If. You cant be both with me yeah you like. The world is driven by a dream shaped senators. Who dares thinks. Week here to ask. Welcome back after ones been a dismal year for Airline Companies u. S. Aerospace giant boeing is inching closer to getting its 737 max jets recertified by the f. A. A. In fact the federal Aviation Administration has announced that is providing a 45 day Public Comment period before any recertify cation can take place so this is another hurdle for boeing or does it signal that the company may soon get the green. Light to begin selling at 737. 00 max once again and where does the Airline Industry stand as a new round of lockdowns is continuing what was already a very very tough situation joining us now to discuss his boom bust cohost and investigative journalist ben swan and dennis pager Communications Committee chairman at the allied Pilots Association thank you both for joining us today ben i wanted to actually start with you lets begin with the latest on boeing is this good or bad news. Well i think it kind of depends on how you look at it look at anything anything the market perceives as bad news is going to be bad news for boeing in terms of stock price because theyve had such a tough not just year because of this pandemic but really going back to march of 2019 when the 737 max jets were all grounded so its been tough for boeing having said that look if it shows that boeing is moving forward thats good news in terms of the read a certification of the 737 max and also the 5 of the f. A. A. Is working with them but this is going to be a slow process and it should be a slow process theres no way that the 737 max can be rushed back into production and even if boeing was given the green light today to say you can begin you know getting these just back into Service Airlines still are flying the way that they were and there are individual customers as airlines that may not want to even deal with buying or purchasing new planes at this point so you know its a long road ahead for boeing this does inch them closer though now cafeteria what do you make of the situation with boeing i know youve been following this deeply what do we hope to learn from a 45 day open Comment Period and what do you make of f. A. s latest decision here. No more than following on a 737 pilot and have been for over a decade so and very closely related to the max. Weve seen and weve seen from boeing a giraffe through our Company American airlines the training that theyve been poles in its night and day from where we were but theres still some more to go and we dont like seeing and hearing is if hes talking about this Comment Period we want to be involved in air before you drop this rock honest to say ok now what have to say so the f. A. A. Unfortunately been gone a little bit dark on us and weve got to crack the door back open because our ultimate goal is to have a comedy with very few comments because our concerns have been addressed and most of them revolve not around fixing the you know and yes in the max but on Pilot Training and. Sure that if youre going to go this far you take care of all the things that challenge those pilots and both of those absent that go beyond the caps its critical that we get this right and our entire Aviation System is going to be challenged Going Forward to get that prize which is the confidence of passengers and now dennis i want to kind of move to a broader conversation about the Airline Industry too because i mean while the 737 max is very very important safety is cruci
