They're acting quickly as they can inset -cremento to make the recall of the future much more difficult to get on the ballot. Because other like this was beaten so easily. This can't happen again. It's such a waste of money and that's just there should be more. Plus we should spend more money on this stuff. There should be a whole like recall department. And if you hand out thirty one billion dollars to criminals through our stupid unemployment money you have nothing to say about trying to save tax. Screw them here you know. They're they're government employees and they get fired and a recalls is like when your your boss puts you on probation and they start going through your record and they start analyzing your job performance.

That's the day that the trump people storm the capital and an attempt to stop the certification of biden's election victory. Now the thing is nobody could show up one of the groups planning this rally. They're called look ahead. America said they're going to do this peaceful protests at union square plaza near the capitol reflecting pool at new. Nobody knows who's coming and certainly nobody knows if it's going to be as crazy as january. Six chances are no but they're not taking any chances they have. They're going to seal off the capital again with the fencing. They're going to go to full alert. Just in case the same kind of crazy people return and tried to storm the capital. Congress won't be in session on saturday anyway so nobody will really be well but they're not gonna get taken by surprise like they did a january. That's not going to happen. And that's what the problem was. Is they ignored all the warning signs. They ignored all the intelligence and like typical government workers the capitol. Police were standing around stare at their shoes and eating lunch. So they they weren't. They weren't proactive. They weren't on on alert on offense. I first of all anybody who's gathering about stolen elections. That's another one. I'm put my fingers in my ears that anymore..

Plex star is a community bank and we operate our retail branches about five states We have a national charter That enables us to service customers.

I you know they look hit pretty hard on at that time. with You know the impact on mortgage and mortgage lending in a number of of various regulatory issues that they had to deal with and so the organization that i came into is was clearly one that had been through. I will say a bit of crisis in turmoil. During that time A number of cost reductions. That were were likely made decisions. Made about reducing Potential investment costs. And things. Like that.

What was the new flight. Flagstar going to look like the the flagstar that could now focus on growing.

In a whole the core versus continuing to to kind of advancing grow. And so when i came to it that that was sort of the situation that i was in and and so my one of my goal was to now start thinking about..

Nowadays stable coin is a dollar pegged coin. It's coined that should be one dollars. Every time you use it.

Runs holding him accountable. So the new york governors on. He's no longer in their september lineup. That came days after lollapalooza. Did the same. He was also dropped from parklife fest in england also apologize for a third time says he educated himself and knows better now. I don't know how quickly He thinks those who came to him with kindness who reach out to him privately. Offer wisdom education and resources. He said that that's what he needed. Most and it was received from the people that did that. okay brian. I hope you really hard studying up off. When you're when your bags are gone right. Things are always so tough because no one. No one says anything. No one thinks it's wrong until he didn't come up with this until everything starts to go away like he didn't decide that this is his way of thinking and the things that he said he clearly. He didn't think it was wrong now. He's being canceled so he thinks it's wrong now and he wants forgiveness but if in fact he wants forgiveness took it feels different for me like you know if someone like uses a homophobic slur that they grew up hearing something like it feels different than spreading misinformation about hiv and aids. All gay people have aids or something he was. He was saying that those who do all people have aids essentially and those who do are like dir- dirty and wouldn't be fans of his essentially and you know it's it's not just gay people who have aids and we you know aids is oh my god take a pill and whatever you know the details but it's just like it's very. It was very specific. And just so wrong. you know what. I'm not defending him by any means for one. Second these as a blanket statements l. These things are tricky. Because i'm anticancer culture but there are certain things i can't forgive. There are certain things that offend me more than others but like that's where it gets hard like if somebody's asking for forgiveness then again blanket statement here not pertaining to him but then do we do we. Forgive that person and say you're going to be educated on this like e. You were naive. Were you know hurtful and spreading misinformation and now you're gonna learn and use your platform for good do we. Do we hear that and go. Okay we'll give you some time to show us that and then we'll get over it or whatever or do you say no. You're done you for visits the you're done go away forever. Go bury yourself. We never wanna see again saying. That's the part that scares me for anybody willing to learn cancelled. I like from his events. I mean don't take some time to agree with that whatever. It's really weird to me. So like morgan wall and for example you know. He used racial slurs he was caught. He didn't know he was film. I'm not defending him either. But he was wasted but the baby was on stage. No need for like why. Are you even talking to us for the action. I just i see people'd at the drop of they do something in some cases they know exactly what they're doing in some cases there too naive or surrounding their upbringing. whatever. I am not excusing any of them. All conveying is that the cancer culture thing is concerning because people do screw up and then how. How do you encourage someone to change. How do you encourage them away. Well prepared and and right right. This is very complicated. Yeah a case by case scenario like this one case by case debate insured cancel and then there's no excuse for what he did. I think i would like to see a lot of money. That he donates. You know to like an aids charity or something. I would like to see him show that he's learned I would like to see him. Take some time off to reflect. And then i guess i mean. It's not up for me to decide but it would make in thailand. Yes it's all in time to see if someone's really sincere or if they're just saying something in order to try and change in this world for the better. Now i agree and and you know. Maybe that's the bar over time we look at that and say but yeah it's a complicated thing sending. I'm not excusing him. Or anyone else. Does he say to the corner with a dunce head on exactly So bill melinda gates finalize finalized their divorce yesterday in king county washington.

"America is an experiment in we are young. We are only two hundred forty four years old. We are ridiculously young to have made so much progress. Not just here. In the way of equality of opportunity and justice but in the whole world. We're not perfect. But the ark of american history over are very short. life has been good. I just wonder. I wonder this often as i'm scrolling through twitter and looking at these crazy videos of what's happening in in some places in these anarchists i just i just wonder if these people who denounce america's inherently evil in failure who hate our founders hate the constitution realize how rare it is for them to be able to complain about our government and our systems with impunity to be able to threaten police officers to criticize our leaders to tear down statues in most cases without any consequences whatsoever that is a product of liberties that the vast majority of the world will never know. We'll never know because they didn't have the founders. We have who created the constitution that we have that recognized the inherent rights that we have just look at what's happening in hong kong right now. Crazily enough the antifa rioters here wants to compare themselves to the hong kong protesters. But it's really just the opposite. Hong kong is protesting communism. They are protesting dictatorship. They are fighting for freedom for autonomy for liberty and china has just taken that away. The un has done absolutely nothing. That's why the un is an absolute joke and they are working hand in hand with china as is the world health organization. That's why these organizations cannot be trusted. China has taken away. The freedom has taken away. The liberty has taken away the autonomy of hong kong and will end in suffering and death. They are going to snuff out any dissent. There is no freedom of speech there. there's no freedom of religion there and hong kong was kind of this safe haven for liberty and now it is going to be taken over by the communist dictatorship of china and we are going to see the world view that the anarchists here want play out in hong kong as we have unfortunately seen play out too many times over the past one hundred years until we can see what it looks like in a country. That doesn't believe that we have inherent human rights. Again we have violated our own ideals but at least we have those ideals like at least we have a standard to try to reach. At least we have something to go back to at least We have something to get in line with and realize okay. We were off in this human rights abuse because we believe that all men are created equal and are given inalienable rights by god. china does have the communist countries. Don't have that and we'll talk a little bit more about that in the second. I just wanna read some statistics about america. And what makes us so great. And what makes this narrative of america being the worst country in the world so crazy america gives the vast majority of the foreign aid. We give more foreign aid than any other country. That is over thirty one billion dollars. We adopt the most children per year by far than any other country in a two thousand eighteen. Gallup study it showed that america is the most generous country in the world in terms of the percentage of americans that a donated their money to charity be volunteered their own time to an organization.

That human animal bond thing really really took off in the late eighties as parasites came on and we were able to keep those dogs in the house. Parasitism asari things kill fleas techs. I mean you know love has its limits like you do. I love you enough to get fleas. That's a whole other level of love and the more people are inside. What those cuts the more. They notice things. They noticed dog itching. Or it's robin its size or its strategist but on the floor. What and when they do. Mike says they call the vet. According to the american pet products association last year we spent over a record setting hundred billion dollars on our pets for food entries and vets so since the eighties and nineties this spending has been increasingly catching. The eye of corporations and veterinary practices can be seen as a reliable investment. It's got low overhead. It's not like you have to build a factory or create a production line. I wrote to mars. I wanted to know why the company invested in vets. They declined an interview but mars also makes pet food like pedigree and whiskers so it just makes sense to also invest in vets. Mike says there are about six thousand small to medium size vet practices and hospitals in the us. The kind that have at least two or three full-time bets on staff but out of those five thousand of them are now owned by big corporations. You might not know it because a lot of them like to keep that small business look and feel but many are consolidating or even buying and flipping them and that is having an impact on independent vets like grant in iowa vets are often in debt. They had to go to school which is expensive average. Tuition is more than two hundred thousand dollars. Some vets will never be able to pay off their loans. They pay the interest..

Price shame with prices rising by twenty eighteen percent museum. Contractors had a lot of house price inflation in recent years but allows our country was double digit inflation. The us sweden the netherlands uk. Russia house prices rising in many countries around the world. Of course the key reason is that massive fiscal and monetary stimulus. We've seen from central banks and governments around the world.

Amc cinemas and you can imagine it's not been a great year to be running cinemas the amc balance-sheets are one of the world's largest similar preaches. A sea of red many status still open. It's still loss-making but a lot of people think is a good time to buy the stock for much of last year. The company is worth around about half a billion dollars stock now worth thirty one billion dollars. Eight almost doubled in value yesterday alone. It's all to do with this retail frenzy. People tipping. It's on twitter saying they're getting text messages from family urging them to buy. Amc others gathering at street corners with homemade posters saying amc to moon and apparently is being promoted at pool parties. Sadly none of which.

How are you thinking about you. Eighty play and he's still questionable for the next game. Oh not son. Son sons wrapping this series though liberal going on i ride all right what else we got you. Well let's talk about joe biden and tulsa oklahoma so he was here yesterday and was talking about one hundred years ago. What happened until so thirty. Five blocks of greenwood there were left in ash and ember The eleven hundred black homes and businesses that were lost insurance companies. That rejected claims of damage. Ten thousand people left destitute and homeless place in interment camps and how that still has not been rectified. He said this was a massacre among the worst in our history then he went on to discuss plans There are aimed specifically at helping black people with Economically today we're announcing to expanded efforts targeted toward black wealth creation will also the entire community the first is my administration has launched an aggressive effort to combat racial discrimination in housing that includes everything from redlining to the cruel fact that a home by a black family is too often appraised and lower valued in a similar home by but we know that already but we know what is he doing can say. Yeah we know red line and we know that black. The black community is cheaper in homes in the white community. We know that. How do we fix it. That's what's so frustrating. Like i don't even know why. Joe biden wednesday empty-handed he should you know signed some type of executive order saying he thinks this is what the agreement greenwood she'd be getting like. Don't come to grief and tell us what we already know you to president. Act like he was talking about different plans that he has some grants that are totalling. Fifteen billion dollars that will target neighborhoods where people have been cut off from job schools and businesses because it previous transportation investments and the american job clam will also invest thirty one billion dollars to support minority owned businesses. So that is all in that plan. And they're also going to publish to fairhousing rules as well as restore fairhousing definitions and certifications and reinstate the department's discriminatory ethics affects standard. He declared a new effort to address an equity and home appraisal. Like we just said and to combat housing discrimination So those are some of the things that he said he's going to do. Here's what else. Joe biden small businesses are the engines of our economy the glue of our communities. I'm determined to use every taxpayer dollar that is assigned to me to spend going to american companies and american workers to build mayor that build american products and as part of that. I'm going to increase the share of the dollars. The federal government spends too small disadvantaged businesses including black and brown small businesses. Right now calls for ten percent and move that to fifty percent of every dollar spent s. Sounds good so greenwood was just the backdrop for them like they didn't actually go there and present anything to the readiness of greenwood like the readiness agreement on getting any of their.
What A Day
"thirty one billion dollars" Discussed on What A Day
"On show. President biden commemorates the tulsa massacre with a plan to close the racial wealth gap plus headlines. But first the latest. Listen to this. This is the level of covid positively today new york city zero point eight three percent zero point eight three percent the lowest we've seen ever since the pandemic began all right so that's new york city mayor bill de blasio yesterday. He was really feeling himself. he is one of the many local officials who've been outright optimimistic. Even excited about the drop in cova cases and deaths throughout the country over forty percent of the whole us population is vaccinated in. Nearly every state will be fully reopened by the end of the month but for the rest of the world. The story is not the same so giddy. What did we hear most recently from the world health organization on that front. Yes at the end of the world health assembly on monday. The w. h. o. Director general tedros adhanom. Gabriel says character is. Is this quote. It would be a monumental error for any country to think. The danger has passed so kind of scary. Despite major areas of success in a number of countries in decline in cases and those rising vaccinations he also said that the current pandemic has provided more reasons for the creation of a worldwide pandemic treaty so the countries could hypothetically share information resources and more and more than thirty nations have reportedly agreed to this idea in theory and are in for discussing it later this year but before countries can prepare for what could or could not come next. They're still having to update what they know about kovic impact. So far for instance on monday peru released a new report determining that the country's death toll was almost three times its official count which means that the country had the highest death rate per capita in the entire world. Yeah so given that we were talking recently about a likely global undercount peru may not be the last country that finds this out. Unfortunately yeah. I think that the united states should probably brace for that reality But the world health organization also suggested new names for variants that are circling across the globe. What's the backstory there. Yeah they're basically trying to not have confusion over the really long and difficult scienc- names but also not lean into just calling the by the name of countries where they were. I found so instead. We are getting greek letters for each now. Why why did they didn't ask me. But i think that's a bad idea. I don't think everyone knows the greek alphabet. And i also think that there's more yeah. We submitted our proposal to the assembly. They clearly did not get it in time. But on that note seven the one that was first identified in the uk is going to be alpha and so on and so on from there and then the scientific names are going to remain. I guess for the scientists But the who is basically cautious here about fueling stigma against these specific countries where some of the known variants were found. And speaking of on. Saturday vietnam a ministry said they found a very transmissible variant that combined strains first detected in the uk alpha and india aka delta cool. Not much else is known about just yet. There is some belief that it is leading to the rise in cases they're seeing and now vietnam which was massively successful at seven. Covert at first is implementing. A two week lockdown approaching in city planning to test all the residents there. Yeah and then. Finally there are some developments in the vaccine front both in the us and abroad. Yeah i'm fully expecting the remainder of us hasn't been vaccinated. It's going to be entered into some kind of lottery now going forward. They're all going to be millionaires congrats on the future winnings to all but in all seriousness. Couple things here. Madeira has applied for full. Fda approval for its vaccine joining pfizer in that which could among other things make it easier for places to mandate vaccinations. Meanwhile the national institutes of health has started trials for booster shots and specifically testing the effectiveness of maybe mixing and matching vaccines with a third shot. We'll see maybe for other people. Nothing we we will definitely see outside the us somebody to keep a close eye on where in the world our surplus vaccines are going to go. So the deadline that the biden administration had set for sharing millions of doses was the end of this month. Meanwhile the ultimate fate of waving vaccine patents is still up in the air but then even without those us vaccines for now. The who authorized vaccine made by the chinese company. Sino vac for emergency use and that can hopefully assist in the overall global efforts so that is some of the recent pandemic news which we will get back to soon. But in other news akilah stateside present biden was tulsa yesterday for the hundredth anniversary of a massacre against black residents. There take us through what happened right. So president biden attended one hundredth anniversary. Event of the racist massacre and tulsa oklahoma's greenwood district over the weekend. Making him the first presidents take part in any events designed to remember and honor the fallen for much too long history of what took place here was told in silence cloaked in darkness but just because history is silent. It doesn't mean that it did not take place. We spoken about the nineteen twenty one massacre on our show multiple times but after the civil rights protests last summer. It seems even more important to discuss it now. Yeah that's right. So what was on the president's agenda. Okay so he met privately with survivors including one. We heard on capitol hill pushing reparations. A few weeks ago miss viola fletcher. Who is one hundred and seven years old. But more broadly he used the event as a platform to announce a proposal to close the racial wealth gap in the us. It wasn't especially detailed of an announcement but here are the highlights. Create an inter agency effort to address discrimination in the housing market overall. So that could be in regards to undervaluation of black homes being sold disparities and lending and unequal terms mortgage agreements. He went on to propose more federal spending with minority businesses and thirty one billion dollars for small business programs as well as ten billion dollar investment in support of disadvantaged communities and their infrastructure and finally he mentioned that vice president harris would be leading the charge for voting protections since so. Many states are disenfranchising voters at a record pace. Yeah they are like texas. I bet we're just this past weekend. Democrats were able to thwart a gop led bill to restrict voting rights at least temporarily. And that's exactly right but he also called out to nameless democratic senators who never seem invested in. Moving these initiatives forward. And i'll give you guess. Does it rhyme with bennema and lanson. I think so. We'll let the audience fill in the blanks. Okay so how was the reception to all these announcements then. Okay so the. Acp responded while they were happy about the plans to invest in the black community. Broadly they noted that student loan forgiveness would do overwhelming good for the black community as black students are disproportionately in that specific kind of debt. There's also the broader discussions of reparations. Which biden has avoided discussing time and time again but crooked producer at harare talked with tulsa resident and nelson outside of a church service last sunday. nelson said reparations. Should be the ultimate goal recognizing. The massacre is just the first step. I think that's a minimum of what we need to do. It should have been done to recognize the role that the city played but I also recognize that putting in proclamations isn't really doing the work. And i really like to see some teeth behind it and move towards some reparations and rebuilding of greenwood yes so on the one hand but on the other hand maybe it's time this country get serious about repaying the descendants of those murdered and displaced by white mobs and tulsa and soon after they can get to work on the back pay for all the work. The enslaved did building this nation's economy that we all participate in today..

The focus of the meeting was how the package can be relevant across the government as well as continuing to emphasize benefits. Biden expects from the one point nine trillion dollar kogo nineteen relief. Bill signed into law this month. Which is what. I was trying to remember last time again. Apparently the government doesn't have enough money to pay for repatriation efforts but it shelled out one point nine trillion dollars in cove relief. Bill the second. Go around the first one went to all big business because the government failed to put proper restrictions in place so at this point. They've committed well over three trillion dollars between the two countries. Get some of that. Yes it did but again those those those funds were earmarked for specific purposes. Not for things like repatriation efforts. There important like health but it was also miserably. Slow getting it back ending country. And i'm still concerned about that with the next. What is it thirty. One billion dollar earmark allocation the first one was for eight billion. This is the largest distribution that is supposed to be set for ending country in its history thirty one billion. Let's see what happens Cabinet meetings are cabinet and going back. The article cabinet meetings in the modern era are less about setting administration policy than ensuring that all the government agencies are on the same page say former officials the session. Also the sessions also offer presidents and opportunity to make their priorities and values clear. Deeper debates are generally reserved for smaller subject-specific gatherings of cabinet officials and senior advisor such as the national security council and the domestic domestic policy council.

Area and I know you're not a chip expert but this is the this is a critical company for a this this sermon, I wanna get into the idea of what it means for certain companies sort of owning a space and you just recently testified about single companies or or a small group of companies owning spaces, and how dangerous that is why it's It like this was a bit of an a for sale because bank has pledged to raising forty or fifty billion dollars in my understanding is they're they're not gonNA make a ton of money I think about bought this company that bought on for about thirty. Thirty or thirty, two billion just about three years ago, and they're getting a mix of stock and cash. What we interesting is it now I I've invidia. The, most impressive company I just don't know about its now got a larger market capitalization than Intel when I was in business school was considered kind of the most innovative giant company in the world. They've been blown by, and then what happens does apple still WANNA do business within video when they buy a competitor to their? To. Their chip designs so the chip bores looks like it's about to get more interesting and just. Greed. Company gets sold for forty. Billion although. That's a bit of a headline number. It was it includes performance in all sorts of other stuff that does about one point going timeout thirty times revenues, and then Invidia with A. It's got a three hundred billion on market cap with twelve billion in revenues I mean this stuff is just it as obviously very strategic that that literally exhaust might total knowledge of the chip-making space. Do you have any thoughts on this deal? Well, I think I think people don't realize Jensen Wong who's the CEO? Has had it sort of as quiet? Person WHO's super I tried to get him to come to co last year and removes like Oh chips the but I think it's really important to understand how powerful this company has become an how innovative it's bad. You know arm holdings was a designer of chips for mobile phones Softbank had struggled in this area Softbank was sort of into everything but bought it for thirty one, billion dollars a couple of years ago. So you know it needed money because of all the other problems it's having, and this is an opportunity for invidia but it's gone. It's gone well beyond mobile for. and it's it's in graphics. It's a it's been moving into self driving vehicles as an area that it's that it's moved into and so it's just it. Just it just says that you know it's going to buy up everything and like you were talking about all these opportunities that were that are a lot of the focus here is going to be on Softbank because it's been involved in so many deals that have sort of blown up whether it be. You. Know this this the overvaluation, we worker or other issues. It's been the the collapse of the Vision Fund and things like that. So a lot of people like to focus on Softbank because it's an interesting sort of ongoing traffic accident but really invidia is has quietly been. You know becoming the go-to Chip Company not just with graphics in games and things like that but artificial. self-driving another area it's moving into I. Think it's it's going to grow Internet of things and stuff like that and Softbank was just not able to do anything about it, and so I think you have to focus on invidia being on this sort of tear beyond where they started and I think people don't realize. It's one of these companies that you don't pay attention to very much like I'm blanking the other. There's another trip company that just is doing incredibly well, it's run by Lisa. Su That it's just there's there's all these companies that are holding incredibly powerful positions amd also on a tear that are very important to the future and so that you're right there's going to be a real focus on where the chip business is going.

Despite the Pandemic, Airbnb Will Take the Company Public
"I'm Elaine Appleton grant and this is business worse daily on this Tuesday August Eighteenth David Brown is on vacation. There's no other way to say, this twenty twenty is a weird year and yeah, that's a whopping understatement particularly for the travel sector, the latest news and the beleaguered lodging industry. It looks like AIRBNB will go public before the end of the year. The multibillion dollar home sharing company has long been eyeing the public markets. Early, this year AIRBNB was planning its IPO even though twenty nineteen. had been a rough year to in the first nine months of that year and the company lost more than three hundred and thirty million dollars growth was slowing competition already rough was increasing from aggressive rival Expedia, which owns short term rental brands. We are be O- and home away as we reported here, last year the entry of Marriott into the luxury home sharing business didn't help either. When the pandemic hit things took a dramatic turn for the worse the company faced a Billion Dollars in cancellations its valuation dropped from thirty one, billion dollars in twenty seventeen to eighteen billion dollars. This April, the next month airbnb laid off. Two, hundred people a quarter of its staff. It also slowed down plans to expand into TV and transportation the verge reported. Things were looking dire enough that even though it had plenty of cash on hand airbnb chose to borrow money and take on new investment to get through the crisis in total. The company raised two billion dollars at what the verge called. The steep interest rate top executives cut their pay and the eight hundred million dollar marketing budget was slashed the New York Times reported. It all seemed like one gigantic headache I say O'Brien Chessy in his crew. And yet AIRBNB still plans to go public by the end of August. AIRBNB could file IPO paperwork with the SEC if it does shares could trade before New Year's. At first glance that sounds crazy. But it actually reflects a little good news for the travel business along with some dramatically new patterns of travel behavior both here and abroad what do I mean? We'll think about it if you were stuck in the middle of a crowded city, this spring or summer working at your dining room table, would you stay put? Beginning in May a certain number of US said Hell? No. They had a Derulo areas where they could rent other people's homes, AIRBNB bookings, both in America and overseas began climbing back from their black hole for the three weeks starting around Memorial Day vacationers reserved twenty percent more homes than they did a year earlier according to Bloomberg business was best far from the madding crowds in. June. Reservations in the countryside jumped twenty five percent hosts in rural areas earned more than two hundred, million dollars in that month alone payments DOT COM reported international travel is virtually impossible and of course many. Of US are still avoiding airplanes so more and more of us are taking vacations within two hundred miles of our homes about one tank of gas in many cases were also staying longer after all many people no longer have to get back by Monday to go to the office we just take our work with us in a meeting in July CEO Chesty expressed amazement at the rebound in bookings. There is something I never would have imagined telling you the New York Times reported a kind of defies logic, but in June reservations also grew at rival Vr be oh, the Motley fool reported. Optimists see these numbers as a sign of life for the travel industry as a whole but predicting the future of travel right now is best left to gambling halls AIRBNB is fortunes could change suddenly depending on the course of

The State of the iPhone
"Let's talk about the various apple platforms and we're we're GONNA do these state of a platform shows. We're going to separate them out by several months. We're not gonNA just like dumped them all on you at once but you know we want to talk about the iphone Mac. The I pat probably online services is a separate one but we just want to kind of talk about where apple's been and where we're going and kind of Grade them a little bit. I guess on how they're doing on these various platforms and today's the first one of those. Yeah I'd I'd love this idea because it's nice to sort of check in and see where where things are and kind of as a moment in time and what's what's kind of wild and thinking about this because we've been talking about all these episodes sort of as a block given that we're going to split them up over time just really. How mature some many of apple's products and platforms really have become an even something? Newer newer of doing air quotes like the Apple. Watch or the IPAD. They've got several years under their belt. Now you know the Apple Watch has been around for five years. The IPAD is coming up on ten and his mind blowing so it feels like a really good season to start this off. Yeah agree and you know. And the reason we're starting with the iphone is because the iphone is largely the big it is the biggest product that apple makes. It is driving the bus. I spent a few minutes on Google. And the first. There's three quarters of two thousand nineteen. We don't have the twenty twenty results yet but I'm sorry the fourth quarter results yet but the first three quarters the iphone sold thirty one billion dollars by by phone. It is fifty three and a half percent of apple's business. So it's over half of Apple's business. Although that number's going down it used to be even a higher percentage which of Apple's business and actually that's a good thing I feel like for those years that it was the rocket ship and it was almost all of apple's business. They spent all all their attention on the IPHONE and Mac and some of these other devices suffered and now. That's not true so they've got to pay attention to everything. Yeah I I have been totally fine with balanced being restored to the four syllable bit here. Do you WanNa talk about Star Wars. The iphone today. Sorry sorry sermon. Stay on target. And you can't talk like that. I'm sorry I'm sorry dangled in front of you all right. We should do something like that. I don't know when but we should just I like that Anyway Apple still very much. The IPHONE company and That's the big product. So that's the first state of a showy wanted to I do I don't know about you but for me. The iphone really was a mind bender when it showed up. I remember I. Don't I've said this on the show before I don't remember the the guy's name but there was a guy. He had a black turtleneck and pair of glasses and he did a bunch of introductory videos of the iphone that got released a couple days before the original iphone got released. At least you remember those I do. Yeah I mean they were apple videos there on apple's website And because I was thinking oh I don't have six hundred dollars to spend on the phone and watch those videos and it sunk in me. I was completely hooked. I think I've told the story before but deering thing. I was a apple retail employees. At the time the original iphone came out and was announced and I was actually on vacation during that macworld. Keynote visiting family in rural North Carolina and Virginia. So the I of course. There's obviously before the iphone so I didn't know what was going on until I got back like my aunt's house and she had dial up and like I check my email and had email from a friend of mine at the store just basically like holy cow. Can you believe this and I remember like on. My guess would have been a powerbook at the time. Trying to load like the apple dot com slash iphone webpages which like full of graphics. I remember they were black. Lack look really cool and it totally blew my mind and this is used a newton for a long time and used a palm trae. Oh that was actually my current phone. Be Right before the iphone so I was sort of hipped the idea of of a smartphone or something that you carried with you. An ultra portable. We'll device but that first iphone seemed like it just like it came from the future and just had landed here in the president of a sudden. Yeah well I I mean me. I don't WanNA dwell on the past too much but at the time I had a a palm tree. Oh Yeah No. It wasn't that was the one they're back then but I had totally turned it into to a Mac. I had like downloaded apple icons and I had basically hacked the thing to death so it was like a MC- you know. The it looked like a AH Macintosh if you look at the screen you know it was great and so I was. You know I was interested but it was expensive than than I saw those videos and then I was sunk and and that was the start of a beautiful relationship. But you're not the beginning apple really. It changed the world in terms of phones. Nobody headphones and touchscreens. And nobody headphones with an actual working browser. I mean. I don't know if you remember. But the palm treo browser was It was terrible. I'm going to say a word. But they would get us. We'd lose our CLEANTECH. It was real bad it was it was it was I think. Jobs calls in a keynote like the baby internet. It was not good. I remember you go to a website and I see a couple of words like usually the links would show up but just as plain text and it was just like it was it was terrible but You know in fairness Internet was a lot slower in the radios or slower and all that but it was it was terrible and so apple comes out with this phone. I remember reading a little later about a meeting at blackberry. Act Berry where they had. The iphone brought it into a board meeting and somebody threw it on the table and said this isn't real there. They you know like they didn't even believe it was possible. Both which is why they lost but anyways so apple made this phone and they had this huge lead over the entire industry but that was is a long time ago and now Google is in there making great operating systems last week. I spent several days with Google phone knowing that we're making the show and just to see what was going on on that side of the fence. I don't I don't go over there too. Often they're very good phones in the operating system is not you know. The dumpster fire was years ago. So how is apple holding up and that's something we want to talk about today. Yeah it's amazing that in the period media time since then that it has become not only completely normal to have something like an iphone I keep current android phone Having something like that with you but just it. It is hard to overstate how much the world has changed because of these devices like I don't thank you can't overstate it. Because it has created entire industries it has equipped people to do things that weren't possible before it's it's really in the in the world. There's few things that hold that sort of power I think over culture yet. It's created industries and has destroyed them as well and in the You know and I feel like I'm an enabler on this technology but at the same time if you listen to the focus podcast. I'm really aware of the attention. Deficit problems assumes that can result from having the Internet in your pocket and yeah and actively trying to help people not get sucked into that black hole but I mean so it really right. The the iphone changed. Everything I mean. In a lot of ways it may be a more momentous events than the personal computer was. Was You know when we first started getting maximum. PC's and Atari back in the day. I mean I think this is certainly affected a bigger percentage of

Apple is finally moving beyond the iPhone as the smartphone industry stalls out
"Right. Well, let's start with the with with apple now. The last time we had John was right after their big the big the big announcement with all the movie stars. And you know, an all the services and all that stuff. They and they are betting on that under bending on their services the future of the services. Correct. Yes. I mean that really is going to be what makes up the difference for the slowing high phone sales that continue to be a problem for them. Okay. So what do they what are they focusing on? Now. Yeah. So what we got? We got earnings report on Tuesday, and it for example, iphone revenue fell seventeen percent year-over-year, which is is not a small percent at all. And one of the things that really made the different travel and actually ended up saving them here where their services doubts like I cloud, apple music, the app store and also the wearables right stuff like the apple watch. So it's really interesting to see that already. Apple is going to all these changes rather dramatically, and they say that Indiana, it's going to be fine. But this this in between period where we had apple news plus launch back a month ago. Right back in March and their new apple TV, plus compete with Netflix, and Disney and all these people it's not out yet either. It's apple arcade gaming service. Those those coming later this year. So it's going to be interesting to see how much apple changes. And remember there. I still wanna sell us iphones. Right. It's not going to be the big thing about them all the time anymore. So it since the iphones have fallen a little bit on hard times. Is that is that what's happening? Well, it you know, I would love to have Apple's problems. Yeah. Yeah. Really what it is is that anymore right in this case it actually drops. But they're still details of the iphones thirty one billion dollars for the quarter that is larger than most companies on the plan. Sure goes, you know, why some people look at this and they doom and Google, right? This is a really bad sign for apple and the future may not be good. A lot of other people that they well, wait a minute. You know, they're still huge company. They got opportunity to change. The obviously see that they need to change how they do business to succeed and to consider it continue going on and they're doing those efforts right now. So maybe it all turned out. Okay. And you know, everyone would be dead against apple typically end up going barley. So I'm not going to bet against the services that they are that they they they they're planning. And then are offering heavy announced one of the major things that people complained about for that for the presentation the last time, we talked was that you know, they announced on these things, but didn't have a price. For many of them are subscription rate or any of that stuff. Have they decided on that had they updated that at all? I wish. No those numbers. I will bet you right now. I think this is a pretty safe bet. I don't think we're going to get the pricing until September. And the reason is that the big iphone type, right? So you know, it would make sense that they would wait until September. When they have the big ones. Right. Maybe they'd bring out Oprah again. And we'll get to find out how much money they want from us. They really interesting though in the time between Apple's announcement. And now we've learned that Disney wants to charge for Disney and that service, which by the way, you have to remember the company said, they're betting company on this. This is no minor thing. They're streaming service is these insurance Disney, and one of the things they said is that it's gonna cost you seven bucks a month that is vastly cheaper than Netflix. Yeah. And it, and I think it also cheaper than what some people thought apple TV puts my I'm curious. I'd love to be. Fly on the wall where they're trying to figure out what the price is. There's actually rumors out there that is you subscribe to several of apple services. Like, let's say you buy my cloud, and you get apple music might get apple TV close for a cheaper rate or maybe for free. So there's a lot of rumors about how they're gonna maybe play with this to get you interested in you know, that you enticed into paying the money. I'm really curious to see outweighs out. Yeah. Seven dollars. That's that's a fantastic rate for. Right. Yeah. Especially if you're a parent, and you know, you are you're in the middle of the the Disney run up on of every maybe the red. Yeah. You you that price looks

Apple Q2 FY 2019 Earnings Report: iPhone Struggles But iPad And Services Expand
"But first to our top story. Of course, it's apple shares rising in after hours trading. They're all let me find the sun on the company. Second quarter, earnings report the filmmakers continuing his transition to a service company with revenue in the country reaching a high of eleven and a half billion dollars. Remember, Apple's launching a plethora of new services like streaming video video games improve new subscription instill its biggest revenue driver, though remains the iphone which demand stabilize to thirty one billion dollars. But that's still a drop and remember disappointed the -nificant in the holiday quarter more on these results. I want to bring in Cambridge from Cambridge Massachusetts forest. Principal analyst Judy ask is with us. Julie. I'm so interested by these numbers because share price is big movement after hours because it was a beat. We gotta remember. Yes, they're beating on the share that beating on their revenue. They're giving us a big dividend share buybacks, but these are still falling revenues fillings earning. Per share foreing. I phone sales. So it sounds like another born quarter for apple they continue sort of like, it's the same news every quarter, no more. Seriously. I think the things that you can look to that are very strong is their installed base continues to grow service revenue continues to grow. And so it's still a very strong story for apple despite all that. Okay. So talk to us about the real strength. Is it all about the services really is starting to go? They cool it a record quarter in terms of the sevices number eleven billion. Yeah. So I think we'd expect to continue to see record quarters. And I think also while the hardware business is still the core of apple a lot of the upward growth is still going to have to come from services. There isn't a next if device there isn't the smartwatch or the home Pau or something else that I have to have. So we're still to a large extent relying on the smartphone smartphone upgrades. But then a lot of the growth is going to come from services. I think that's where you're gonna see more revenue per consumer as we look forward, and it will give their install base being what one point four billion news. I mean is this enough is this do we worry in any way that that base might erode when we have such composition in high end device areas such a such as Google pixel such is while they for example, they are so integrated that they keep that use the base on the services really does then heavy lifting. Yes. I do believe that apple tends to have a very loyal base of consumers. And I think what's difficult. Here's you can't parse out that one point four billion. So as consumer as Julie how many devices do I own versus how many new customers are they bringing into the apple ecosystem because certainly the value the services, and the value of the devices goes up the more devices that I own and so both of those numbers need to continue to grow for apple. Okay. Some of the interest, of course, from this results is going to be focused on China because they tried to to certain extent blame all of that problems on China, particularly the falling iphone sales. Once again, China is the weak point was seeing down about twenty percent. I think in terms of hero via sales in how much of a worry is it that China's seems to be not quite the growth focus that have been. So I think it's always somewhat of concern because it's the largest market in the world. Certainly there's a very strong competition from the local players in the Chinese market, but bigger picture when we look at where new smartphone sales are coming from. They're gonna come from economies like China and India, Indonesia, Nigeria other large companies and is going to be harder for apple to compete at their price points versus some of the local players some of those in the Android market. So it's always going to be a tough road there. I'm what about Judy as much as potentially the fundamentals at play here. But we do look them giving more cash back to the investor base that doing mole shed buybacks big dividends. But they still got an enormous cash pile. How do you wanna see that put to work? Yes. So nothing financial advisor or an analyst. I probably have not the right person say how they should put that the work. But I think if they had better product ideas, and one of the things I would say right because the next thing we'd be the services, there's only so much money that you can put at services because really there's a lot of the pendency both on developers to create services on top of the platform. And there's a lot of runway for developers to go. And then they're also very dependent upon their ecosystem partners like signing up more partners within the payment ecosystem, getting more content. And so it's not as if they can just throw more money at services and magically make that number grow their so dependent on their partners to do that unless they make some very different decisions about content so forth. You're right. It's interesting hearing from Tim cook on the cool at the moment in our life blog, which is a Bloomberg offering that shows all the latest news coming out of the cool Monka reporting cook his out with the superlatives calling the ipad quota was a blockbuster and praising the apple. Bush, but not saying the company's culture is that of flexibility, adaptability, creativity longtime thinking is apple on. It's very cool adaptable enough flexible enough to decide it's of services company over and above a hardware company. So I was given their track record today would say the answer is. Yes, I think they're also in a position that you could say is similar to some of the other large hardware manufacturers. And if he would compare them to some of their largest competitors. I would even argue that they're further ahead in the services space for a company that's still generating the vast majority of their revenue from hardware. Great perspective coming from I studios. We thank you very much. Indeed, she's going to have more for us. Apple later

Technologies like cloud an AI to their unique business challenges Deloitte got com slash look again. This is tech news briefing. Im Tanya boost owes reporting from the newsroom in London. And for one streaming giant. Will it all come down to a TV show like the office because question does the prospect of not being able to watch the office or friends constantly disturb you to your core? You're definitely not alone. As Netflix fights to keep its most watched shows the journal makes the case for why it's about to have a recurring headache on its hands. That's after these tech headlines. Five G users can go out and buy a couple of expensive coffees for the time being to max because Reisen won't be charging that ten dollar monthly fee for now for as and turned on five service earlier this month in parts of Chicago and Minneapolis saying at the time that it would waive a ten dollar monthly fee for just three months. Analysts have since given mixed reviews of the service fast-forward to Verizon now hitting the pas button, it will waive the fee in markets where the service would launch next as well. As in cities where rollouts have begun Vries and plans to roll out five g service and parts of twenty additional cities, including Phoenix, Detroit and Providence Rhode Island by the end of the year. And the journal says one company may emerge as a billion dollar competitor to Airbnb Airbnb, of course, made strides against travel industry incumbents, but it is now facing its own competition from an emerging group of startups. One of them is saunder an operator. Of rentals markets place for travellers, and it's close to completing an investment round that would value the company at about one billion dollars like Airbnb saunder operates a platform for renting homes for short term.

See a big chance for startups to challenge the incumbent hotel giants and Airbnb which itself is plotting an initial public offering will be one of the stock market's biggest tests the company's last private valuation was thirty one billion dollars coming up how net flicks fights to keep its most watched shows support for this podcast and the following message. Come from Deloitte, a global leader in digital transformation helping clients apply. Technologies like cloud an AI to their unique business challenges Deloitte, God com slash look again. Netflix says a growing problem on its hands three of its biggest programming suppliers. AT&_T's Warner media, Walt Disney and Comcast's and B C universal are entering the streaming world. And if that angry mob of friends rerun enthusiasts of earlier this year are any indication. The public's universal message to Netflix is clear don't touch my shows. The Wall Street Journal's a mold Sharma explains. This is a looming threat. I mean, Netflix says, you know, to be clear in a really strong position right now in the entertainment industry. They have nearly one hundred forty nine million subscribers of spending more than everybody, it seems on programming and they have all the momentum. But the fact is that the majority of time spent viewing on that flex is on old shows reruns most of which are made by rival studios, and those companies are are now all launching their own streaming services, and they're going to want some of that content back as it as. These contracts come up with NBC universal launching its own streaming service in twenty twenty net flicks. And the rest of the world may soon have to contemplate life without its number one show. The office at surprising to a lot of people to find out. The office is actually the most watched show on Netflix in terms of time spent it's number one the data shows that the is number one. But it's three percent of all viewing friends is number two. And, you know, the leader board of the top ten is dominated by these classic shows or just shows that are perhaps still on television like NCIS, but the old episodes are watched a lot on that flex you know, that that was one of the surprising findings of his data that we got our reporting for that previously mentioned growing video streaming space. It's about to get a lot more crowded and soon already net flicks is up against Amazon and Hulu in some others and streaming, but you're gonna see Disney enter the market with with a seven dollar a month service that they've already. Done talking about AT and T which owns Warner media. They're planning one that will be built around Warner Brothers and HBO content. They haven't talked about the pricing of it yet. And that should be coming later this year. And then Comcast which owns NBC universal is planning yet another service, which will house its content in that they've released also very few details, but they are they are the owners of the office. So they are the ones who NBC universal is already considering should we bring the office back. And what would that mean? Of course, they're paid a lot of money by net flicks for that show. So there are a lot of questions they'll have to answer. But those those are the the new players where that leaves shows like the office and our other dependencies that come in the form of TV reruns that's up to net flicks. The first test of this was when the friends deal came up Warner Brothers had licensed friends to net and last year that deal was coming up net. Flicks. What they did was they. They basically paid more money. They triple the amount of money. They were paying for friends to keep it for another year. And so it showed that Netflix is aware that these properties are valuable that they're going to probably identify those that they think are really important to their viewers and possibly pay much more to keep them in some cases, and share them and share them with these other Hollywood companies like AT and T and Comcast Disney that are launching these new services. So that was the first test, and we could see more of that more details. Head to wsJcom that does it for the technical briefing for the Wall Street Journal on tiny boost. Just thanks for listening.

There were rumors that Airbnb Pinterest and slack might finally pull the trigger this year, but three weeks into two thousand nineteen and the securities and Exchange Commission isn't picking up the phone the SEC, lawyers and accountants who work on PEOs are shut down along with the government. And if this shutdown goes on much longer, the big names might be fine. But it could chill the whole tech IPO resurgence. Let's dig into this and quality assurance the segment where we take a deeper look at big tech story. Cordray Bush is a reporter for the Wall Street Journal. She writes that when it comes to IPO's timing is everything you think of quote, unquote, IPO windows, and do you think of that as a time when the stock market is doing well when there's not many big stock swings. When there's not a lot of political risks. So that's what a lot of people thought this first half of twenty nineteen was going to be a really good time and anything that delays that pushes them back from that could be problematic. How does this affect a company that's smaller than Uber or lift if there's a smaller startup that is hoping for an IPO to really raise a lot of capital. So that's where it's more concerning and everyone we've spoken with points to biotechnology companies is really those that are most at risk right now. Biotech companies burn through cash really fast trials are very expensive. And you need to have a lot of trials before you can go back and forth with the FDA to get your drug approved. So besides the fact that the FDA is under the shutdown partially as well. So they can't even talk with the FDA biotech companies from our conversations are. Are most eager to find either a workaround to be able to try to go public unreas- money, or they're the most desperate for the shutdown to end are there long term consequences to putting IPO's on pas like this. Some of the biggest concerns over the past several years have been that we just don't have as many public companies anymore. And folks that we talked you said as the shutdown continues companies that were planning to go public. It's more impetus to choose these other routes when companies are filed for very long time of its talking to someone who was saying when they're sitting just waiting for an IPO all of their financials are available. If somebody wants to look through SEC filings that could make them ripe for the picking for 'em in a committee them right for the picking for other private financing, the keeps them private longer or maybe something's going to change in their operations in. That period of time, which then they don't feel confident going public. Corey Bush is a reporter for the Wall Street Journal another problem here when the government finally does reopen the SEC will be buried in filings. It could take months to dig out from. And now for some related links. Not like, it's so easy to be a public company though. And on that note, I have some things to say about net flicks it stopped yesterday. After it reported mixed earnings and said, it might make less money in the first quarter of this year. And what's crazy about that is how the entire stock market and Wall Street where rejoicing just a few days earlier when Netflix announced price increases for its monthly subscribers which got me thinking, did it not occur to anyone that the reason Netflix is raising prices is because it needs the money making TV and movies is super expensive, no amount of cheaper cameras or reality TV or YouTube has changed that. And that's basically what Netflix said in its earnings report that the costs of creating higher quality original shows to fight off HBO and Amazon prime and Disney are high and getting higher the company that eventually wins. The streaming wars will be the one with the most cash, which is why it can. Continues to be a mystery that apple is taking this long since it has the most cash. Hey, you know, what apple could buy with its huge stockpile of cash and turn it into a streaming service. For original content. Snap snap is like the company that no one can really even be bothered to write about that much anymore. Even though it seems like every executive who walks through the door. They're immediately pulls a u turn and walked right back out again and snap was valued at thirty one billion dollars. When it went public in two thousand seventeen and now it's down to like eighty billion dollars snap is currently one of the most heavily shorted stocks on Wall Street. You don't want.

The 3:59
Buying clothes online is about to get super weird (The 3:59, Ep. 488)
"Welcome to the three fifty nine. I'm Ben FOX Rueben Joni salesman. Something called the Zo suit. May usher in the future of online apparel shopping. It's a polka dotted spandex suit that allows folks to create three d images of themselves in their homes than use that data to order custom fit clothing through the website. The suit is just one of several new efforts to develop three D scanning tech to get better. Measurements of you. For instance, Amazon last year bought the three D scanning startup body labs. There's also this company called naked labs that will sell you a fourteen hundred dollar three D body scanner to like for weight measurements. What do you think of this stuff? Would you use any of this? Well, it depends. I mean, there's a lot of areas we're talking about. But the those suit PETA sounds like an interesting position. It's kind of low low commitment. You get the suit song as you can commit to putting this really weird bodysuit on measure. Then the idea is that you can buy t shirt that's perfect for you genes that are perfectly fitted for you for like the price that genes normally costs right like something like fifty eight dollars for jeans, the t shirt was a little more expensive. It was like twenty two dollars. But the idea is to do custom fitted clothing and do it through online which like apparel is growing very quickly online anyway. But a lot of retailers obviously, understand that if they can get better measurements of you. They'll be able to sell you more stuff. One of the concerns that I think people may have about all this is like what about your data? Like, do you think people will be pretty concerned about having their body measurements being controlled by somebody like, Amazon or Google? I think a bigger hindrance will be people. Just not liking having the look at a picture of like their body this disengaged from it like when you can't suck it like the like, you can't suck. It can't like angle yourself because it doesn't matter. I think that's going to be. Something that just settles people that's unsettled people more than like a company knowing it. But it's true. Like, you could probably be worried about a company knowing such intimate details about you, you you were telling me before the show also about this thing called a volume metric evalu- metric scanning specifically for entertainment as well. Right. Yeah. Volume to capture so it's like imagine in the matrix where they jump in the air, and the camera moves around Posner is I like that idea, except it's become more accessible as it becomes more accessible still you could take volume metric video yourself walking up and down a straight line, and you could superimpose clothing from runway onto you. So you could see what cling looks like on you before you even have to have it made and shipped to you some of that sounds pretty interesting. But yeah, I'm still a little unsure about the data stuff next up. Amazon said it'll soon start selling more apple products directly and have access to Apple's latest devices which include the ipad pro and the iphone ten are actually pronounced that. Right. This time. This could be worrisome for other retailers especially going into the holiday season. And it was on worrying to all retailers, isn't it? I mean, that's absolutely played answer. Yeah. And the other thing that I thought was interesting about this announcement was how lousy Amazon selection of apple products was already like if you go try to find some of the newest apple products on Amazon, you basically you're stuck through as these two come together that the thing that kept them before before before apart before was on the side or on the side like which one is really hard to say a lot of people raise the issue of why. Now, why did this happen now? And like it's really hard to say. But obviously, it seems like both of them should benefit the third party retailers that have been selling. These products will probably not benefit there's bad for that big caveat to the inventory that apple inventory. That'll be on there. That is absolutely right. The home pod will not be included. Thank you very much for mine. Minding me off that last Alibaba singles day took place over the weekend and set a new online sales record big surprise. They're hitting thirty one billion dollars in sales in twenty four hours just as a comparison Amazon prime day raked in estimating two billion dollars last year's black Friday. Br black Friday broaden, this is US only but five billion dollars. Yes. That's that's all the money. If you want to read more about these stories, check them out on CNN.
