A highlight from MONEY REIMAGINED: Breaking Down Barriers to Crypto Adoption | Insights from Jan Van Eck and Matt Hougan
"You're listening to Coindesk's Money Reimagined with Michael Casey and Sheila Warren. Hello and welcome to another edition of Money Reimagined. I'm Michael Casey. Listen to us weekly on the Coindesk podcast network or wherever you get your podcasts. We would love to hear from coindesk .com. Subject line Money Reimagined. Sheila is out this week so it's me on my own but what I'm bringing to you are recordings from an interview I did earlier this month with two leaders in fund management, both of whom have significant interests in crypto. One is Jan Van Eck, the CEO of Van Eck funds and the other is Matt Hogan, chief investment officer at Bitwise Asset Management. Van Eck and Bitwise have both filed applications with for Bitcoin. The question I wanted to put to you guys, and I'll go to you first, Jan, is I've been covering this space for 10 years now. And I think we all thought there may be some tipping point moment when the world would suddenly embrace this. And certainly there's been some incredible growth, both in terms of prices and activity and development, phenomenal growth. But at the same time, it always feels like, no, it's not yet there. So what is the single most important barrier that you see toward wider adoption of crypto? Sure. Thank you. I really break it down into, are you talking about crypto as an investment, as an asset class that should be in people's portfolios, or as a technology to be adopted? And I use this example of the relational database, which was a big breakthrough in the architecture of databases 50 years ago or more. And it created a lot more productivity, almost like AI is doing with technology today. But who cares? It wasn't investable, right? It was a nice technology, but it wasn't investable. So I'll start with the investable aspect of it. And I think that since 2017, I firmly believe that Bitcoin is a store of value alternative to gold. But I also say it's sort of like an eight -year -old child. It's going through evolution and adoption, even this year, with the ordinals kind of break through for a while and sort of transaction fees being a thing in Bitcoin, right? It's evolving, it's code, it's kind of living. And I think there's a lot of investor types that haven't adopted it yet. And that's what I see kind of going forward in the future, whether it's probably frontier countries adopting it more, maybe even formally through their central banks or something like that. I think that's foreseeable. I don't see the German central bank or the central bank buying it anytime soon, but it's possible. One of my colleagues pointed out, I think you all did a survey of, sorry, this is a long answer, but yeah, Coindesk did a survey, I think, of perceptions globally of crypto and there was a big break between EM and I guess specifically it was energy usage. It being friendlier for energy usage was the majority view in the emerging markets and in the developed markets, it wasn't that, it was the opposite. So anyway, I see Bitcoin as kind of going through cycles and gradually getting more investor adoption, the ETF aside. So let me stop there and give it to my colleague, Matt. Thanks John. I agree. And I like that separation of investment case versus sort of maybe real world utility. I would add on the investment case, I think it's already there. I agree. It's a digital alternative to gold. And so the people who are holding it are using it for its use case. And I think the barrier to mainstream adoption really is the ETF. I know we'll talk about that more later, but I think if you look back at gold, it was the ETF that brought it into the mainstream. There were a few gold funds before the ETF. Van Eck ran one of the longest running, maybe the longest running, a phenomenal fund, but it really wasn't mainstream until we had an ETF. And I think that will be the tipping point. On real world use cases, if you look at like the Ethereum ecosystem, I actually think we surmounted one of the major hurdles over the last two years. I think what stopped the NFT boom and the DeFi boom was actually the rise in transaction costs as much as anything else. I think there was not enough throughput in that ecosystem to allow it to go mainstream. And I think the development of layer twos have allowed it. I think that's necessary, but not sufficient. So there's still additional barriers, there are regulatory barriers, there are design use case barriers, but I actually think that throughput question was the biggest one and we surmounted it. We just haven't seen the fruits of it because of these other steps that we need to take as well. Okay. So there's actually both of those answers, some things I want to dive into a little bit here. The first one is like this idea of it being gold. And I think in a way, I think maybe you can read from it slightly differently because Jan, you're talking, this is what its use case is, but there is still some evolution in a way that Bitcoin needs to go into. What I think is fascinating about that is like, okay, gold isn't going to evolve. It is just gold. It's in the ground, right? But there is this Bitcoin is code, but it's also a community. It's a living, breathing ecosystem of human beings, which makes it sort of unique. And so therefore, like, you know, how it evolves into being recognized for being the status. Is there an educational component to this, for example? Like, is it important that people kind of get in their heads? We can all use the digital gold analogy, but even getting there requires an understanding about why this actually does do that. Well, let me, this is Jan. I am going to pick a fight with you on the gold side because the use of gold as an investment has changed dramatically over the last 100 years. So even if you look at the history of our company, VanEck, the reason we started our first gold fund as a gold mining fund is it was illegal to own gold in 1968. So you see both Bitcoin and gold being affected not just sort of by securities regulation, but much bigger political, debates. even geopolitical But if you go back to before FDR, right, gold was the underpinning of central banks globally with the idea of trying to reduce currency volatility so that there would be more global trade and global wealth. But then they moved to basically away from the gold system. FDR did when he wanted to spend more money during World War II. Anyway, so, you know, gold has been in and out. And now more recently, central banks around the central banks because they don't trust the U .S. to hold their dollars anymore. Okay, so maybe that's a little historical quibble, but I do think that the role changes and I think it will change with Bitcoin going forward as well, just sticking to Bitcoin. It still sounds to me as if that is a discussion about the external factors, right, i .e., regulatory models, whatever, where governments stand. And all of that is maybe what the composition of what gold is and what a secure, uncorrelated investment needs to be is all contingent upon what is actually happening in that geopolitical circle. So in some respects, Matt, it gets back to your point about like, we're still sitting here waiting for the regulators to make a decision about an ETF or whatever. Yeah, I do think we are. I wanna hit one more thing on the gold thing and then I'll get to that because I think it's really important. There is this perception that gold has been the same for 5 ,000 years, completely wrong. Most people's perceptions about gold are untrue. We went off the gold standard in the early 1970s and people didn't know what gold was, right? They were figuring out what its role in the world was. Coincidentally, or maybe not coincidentally, that was the single best decade to be invested in gold. That was a phenomenal time. When stores of value move from uncertainty to established is when they accrue a lot of value. And that's what's happening in Bitcoin. I think there's some direct analogies to gold. I'd also add gold is a lot more volatile than people give it credit for. People think of it as this steady eddy. It has big swings up and down 20, 30 % a year. A store of value doesn't have to be day to day, unvolatile to be useful. It has to hold value or accrue value over long periods of time. And I think people discredit Bitcoin because they misunderstand gold a little bit. Just to add a comment on Bitcoin before we get off of that, gold shares, to your point, like Bitcoin miners fell 90 % from 2011 to their lows in 2016. I mean, you don't get worse than that, right, in terms of volatility. And that's a part of the ecosystem. It's not bullion, but still, I completely agree with you. So I just wanted to add that. I do think also, and I really want to push you, Matt, on this, that we have a global view of regulation of Bitcoin, right, because China has really taken its foot off the brake over the last year. And I think that's, you know, I call it the country the size of the United States. I think that's super important. Yeah, I think that's really important, too. I actually agree. And I think that's been going on for the last decade. It's sort of like a blanket that won't cover the whole world. And when somebody pulls it, then another government's like, oh, maybe we have an opportunity. I think that's what we saw in China with the U .S. being more restrictive, and then Hong Kong saying, well, what if we aggressively banked gold? Maybe there's an economic opportunity there. And I think it's sort of anti -fragile in that sense. Can I just punch down, maybe we're going to move to the technology side, but I just want to punch down on Bitcoin, because I think it, as an investment, is potentially relevant to everyone's portfolios here at this conference. I mean, you may not like, there are investors like Warren Buffett that will never invest in gold and would never invest in Bitcoin. But for a lot of people, the biggest risk out there, I would say, macro risk, is U .S. federal budget deficit. And I don't know of a better hedge than gold or Bitcoin. So maybe that risk doesn't come to fruition in our lifetimes, but it has got to be an alternative that people think of regardless of everything else in crypto. Yeah. Jan and I are going to keep going back and forth. I would add, it doesn't have to come to fruition for gold to be a good, for Bitcoin to be a good investment. It's an insurance against that potentiality. And if you're a wealthy individual, that's one of the biggest risks to your long term wealth and holding that insurance policy regardless of the outlook. Last thing I would add is we've come a long way. The other mistake people make when looking at Bitcoin regulation is like evaluating us today versus a year ago. If you evaluate us today versus 10 years ago, massive progress, even today versus five years ago. Look at the conversation in Congress today around crypto versus where it was two or three years ago. People need to relax a little, take the long view, and they'll probably have a better outlook for their long term investment.

Fresh update on "two leaders" discussed on Bloomberg Daybreak Europe
"Move more positive now about three quarters of sectors seeming gains. Technology the performing best up seven tenths of one percent insurance. Now the bottom of the basket down by nine tenths of one percent. And on to our top stories this morning. British and European officials are meeting today to discuss a looming post Brexit tariff on electric vehicles. It's set to come in force from January. EVs have become a major focal point of global trade tensions in recent weeks after the EU launched an anti subsidy probe into those made in China. This is as sources tell Bloomberg that Tesla is one of the automakers Brussels is investigating Bloomberg's global autos editor Craig Trudell has the details. The EU not is looking to sort of close itself off from China. It's more so interested in leveling the playing field and sort of getting to the bottom of the extent to which China has subsidized its EV and battery industry so that it can come up with countervailing measures to level that playing field and it would do so you know most likely by way of tariffs and so the risk here for Tesla and some of these other companies potentially face some risk of incremental tariffs being placed on EVs that they're from exporting China to the European Union. Craig Trudell says Tesla ships more EVs to Europe from from China than any other automakers. Thank you. The US competition regulator is suing Amazon for monopolizing online marketplace services. Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan has told Bloomberg the e -commerce giant is using a range of tactics to hurt sellers and consumers. We believe that this lawsuit if we're successful will actually entirely restore the promise of free competition. Our free enterprise system is one where companies should be competing on the merits and not be able to protect their monopoly power through illegal tactics. I can't stop short of calling for Amazon to be broken up but out of that if the regulator wins the case it would seek to restore competition in the market. Amazon says it will defend itself against claims the and that if the FTC wins it would lead to higher prices and hurt businesses. OpenAI the creator of ChatGBT is said to be talking to investors about a potential share sale that would value the startup at 80 to 90 billion dollars. The Wall Street Journal says the valuation would almost be three times what the company was worth earlier this year. A valuation of at least 80 billion dollars would make OpenAI one of the most valuable startups in the world. US intelligence agencies are into now getting the artificial intelligence game. The CIA is preparing its own ChatGPT style tool to better sift through mountains of public data. The agency's open source enterprise division plans to provide the tool to other agencies intelligence soon. It's part of a broader government push to harness the power of AI and compete with China which is looking to become the global leader in the field before this decade is out. Hollywood screenwriters can go back to work after months of strikes. Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has the story. After almost five months, the governing boards on both coasts have approved the deal. They've provided copies to members and they will vote but the leaders have authorized to get them back on the job. The writers get a 5 % increase in the first year. Studios will share viewer data for programs streaming with the potential of of bonus payments, a minimum number of writers working a program among other things. Now it's work on the after SAG deal.

Artist paints Kosovo and Serbia leaders kissing ahead of talks
"As leaders of Kosovo and Serbia prepare to meet in upcoming EU mediated talks, a young artist from Kosovo has revealed her latest work a controversial painting of Kosovo's and Serbia's Alexandra volcic. Locked in a passionate embrace with suits on of course. Says she's painting COTI and voltage as very close to each other, made two is the meeting between them. I think she says the two leaders need a few more meetings to get closer in this state. They're showing now in the painting. The image is drawn some criticism on social media, but Marathi says she still convinced the two sides can normalise relations through dialog. Talks in Brussels are not going to be easy. Nevertheless, political analysts are tan more hacks hairy, says he hopes the international community will persuade both the kickstart talks. The situation, especially after the elections in the north of Kosovo is very tense, however, I think that the international community will pressure both prime minister kurti and president to continue with the constructive approach because that is the only way forward.

China's Xi meeting Putin in boost for isolated Russia leader
"Chinese leader Xi Jinping is meeting today with Russia's Vladimir Putin. Today's meeting in Moscow between the Chinese and Russian leaders is a political boost for an isolated Vladimir Putin after the International Criminal Court charged him with war crimes and Ukraine, on Fox News Sunday, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the U.S. will be monitoring for news about what the two leaders say about Ukraine. China has not condemned Putin's invasion of Ukraine. They are still buying Russian oil and energy resources. And they have at least given tacit approval because they've taken the Russian claim that this is somehow an existential threat against Russia that the war is the west's fault. Beijing called for a ceasefire last month, but Washington said that would ratify the prevalence battlefield gains, dot org Washington
The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
The New Enemy Is China
"Congressman Gallagher, I think general secretary Xi has flipped the script from 1972. He's going to go to Moscow in the next few months. That's been announced on The Wall Street Journal today, which is an echo of the flip script of Nixon going to Beijing. The stronger partner goes to the weaker partner in the three way superpower competition. I think that's going to happen. And I think the reality of the new access of evil, Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran is there, and Americans have to open their eyes. It's really one enemy. And I mean, they're an enemy. They're an adversary. A greater disagree. I agree. Whenever I'm asked is China our enemy, I say, well, the Chinese Communist Party is the enemy of freedom everywhere it exists. And it's the enemy the Chinese people. Chinese people need not be our enemy. In fact, they're the primary victims of the Chinese Communist Party's aggression and understanding that distinction, I think, is critical, critical to our effort. You know, basically, if you look back to the no limits partnership, that was signed between Putin and Xi before the invasion, you saw similar rhetoric about color revolutions. These are two leaders that share a sense of historical revisionism, grievance, desire to sort of reclaim the glories that were lost long ago for their countries. And though they are strange bedfellows, though they have diverging interest in some areas, they're very good at presenting united front against their main enemy, the United States. Say they don't hesitate to think about us to talk about us as an adversary, even as we sometimes clutch pearls in terms of the language we use to describe these evil evil regimes. As

"two leaders" Discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York
"By saying, you could see the body language between these two leaders, the familiarity between these two leaders that they were Frank and how they talk to each other. Basically both sides need to kind of cool it off a little bit. So it looks good. I mean, they talk for three hours. Imagine Biden talked for about two and a half of those hours. Well, it's good to say some talk starting right and some thawing hopefully of the tensions. What kind of confidence building measures do you think American companies need to see from China in the coming months? China has been talking about openings and we're still open and we're still reforming and we're in this and that. They need to see action. I mean, they need to they need to they just don't trust what they hear from the Chinese government now because they've been hearing it for so many years and they're not seeing the action. They need to see that they have do I have a residence permit or do I have a visitor's Visa? Can I do business in China? Just long enough until China can learn my technology and then tell me to go home. I mean that's what I hear from CEOs is how long can I make money there? And how much what do I have to give up by being there, but they know they have to be there. It's got a flip back to having some trust in a long-term relationship and some trust in long-term business. We've gone we've gone from just in time on supply chains to just in case. Because what's going to go wrong and how do I sort it out?

under And that your Bloomberg sports update on Mark Bennett This is Bloomberg intelligence with Alex Steele and Paul Sweeney on Bloomberg radio Over here each and every week at this time Tapping into our Bloomberg intelligence analysts covering some 2000 companies and 130 industries worldwide I'm Paul Sweeney Alex steals off today All right inflation it's not just the U.S. folks It is everywhere including the UK They're filling it at the supermarket just as much as we are I'm joined by Bloomberg intelligence senior retail analyst Charles Allen Charles just give us a backdrop 30,000 foot level inflation the UK just give us your thoughts Well it's broad based and as you alluded to it's pretty global I mean we've got obviously energy So the rise in the oil price feeds through into gas prices diesel prices And also tangentially into the utility prices which are rising very very sharply in the UK We've also got food prices going up something that's probably been accelerated by the war in Ukraine What are we seeing from you've been covering these retailers for decades I'm trying to get a sense of how much they're going to be able to pass along versus how much is going to hit their margin as we think about some of those retailers I think that generally speaking I mean when you've got a price price that's going to affect everyone pretty much equally it will get passed along Whether consumers will pay for the same products at the same price as a different matter And I think this is where the differentiation for retailers is going to show up Those who have got stronger owned brand strategies those who can help consumers to save money out of their weekly shopping Bill So just give us a lay of the land in the UK How does that shape up from a competitive standpoint Who do you think might be net beneficiary versus maybe a net loser here Well I think we're already seeing this is we've got the German discount companies Aldi and little which you have in the U.S. as well Who are clearly gaining market share on some figures from kantar today the two combined have got to 15% market share which is a record high level for them but for them And I think what we're seeing is that the more established supermarkets sales as to a lesser extent Tesco are all finding it difficult to maintain the same level of sales that they had historically How about just give us a sense of how digital sales are in the retail space in the UK versus the U.S. They bought by a lot more things online today than they did more than two years ago including groceries What's the lay of the land in the UK Yeah I mean on digital I mean I think we've got a position where compared to the pre-pandemic level It's much higher in grocery It's around 12% of the sales at the moment But at the height of the pandemic it had got about 16 or 17% So it's fallen back from the peak levels Does it have been at And essentially we've got every retailer every supermarket in the UK involved in digital to a greater or lesser extent So we talk about inflation we're feeling it all over as you mentioned and obviously in the food space But also in energy gasoline diesel that kind of thing And when that bill goes up that is really felt in consumers pocketbooks Are you seeing that in the UK How long is expected to be elevated and how does that play out in consumer spending Well in a very in the short term which I mean it's quite a few months I mean spending on motor fuel is an absolute necessity people have to get to work at the moment they're probably using cars more than they did pre-pandemic as public transport use is still restricted So this is a big build that is eating into other spending I think in the UK more importantly is the utility bills which are going to go up more than 50% probably And that's going to be really painful Is that because the UK imports most of their energy Partly and it's partly just to do with the structure of the market and the way it's been also the fact that there is not as much storage facilities for gas as they used to be But I mean I think that we have definitely going to see some people having to choose between heating homes and the eating I mean this is already appearing But unfortunately in the summer is coming up So we had less need to spend quite so much on utilities but there is definitely going to be a squeeze And I mean obviously supermarkets will fill it to an extent but it seems it's more likely that it will fall into other into more discretionary areas of spending Probably the ones which have boomed over the pandemic So people bought a lot of durable goods in TVs new furniture new gardens over that period And that's an area which is probably going to be easier to cut back Charles Allen thank you so much for joining us Charles Allen Bloomberg intelligence senior retail analyst Coming up in.

We're going to show you the musical version on on hannity tonight on the fox news channel and just to echo his room john's remarks before we introduce them taliban was out there this weekend weekend. What were they doing. They were parading. The severed heads of a us. Ally and afghanistan big smiles on their face taliban death squads torture counter-terrorism agent before killing a new york times washington post biden administration botched retaliatory drone strike in response to the marine massacre in kabul in other words. It's not what they told us. It was you should see the grizzly videos that are out there already. Women can study in gender-segregated universities that won't last because under the past regime of the taliban. We know that women couldn't go to work and couldn't go to school and often. Young girls are ripped away from their mothers and fathers and then are forced to marry taliban fighters or become their sex slaves potala ban this weekend tracked down and killed four afghan counter terrorism agents in one case pulling out fingernails. Keep going blood on my hands. John kasich of five for fighting fame serve. I do the focus group this weekend. I showed everybody the video after you sound to me. Everybody and everybody just just watched in stunned. Silence amazing powerful song. I think your statement speaks for itself. But i'd like to hear more from you. Well sean i wish we could be chatting under better circumstances and Appreciate you having me on. I mean just to to continue with what you were just mentioning my voice little shake and i just literally before you guys call it. Got off the phone with a friend who was involved in the efforts on the ground in afghanistan The person you mentioned that kind of helped inspired the song and this person was telling me they'll have to be careful how i say this Because you know things are still ongoing. We don't want tip off the bad guys. But there are nightmarish. Atrocities happening Mostly women children as we speak and To hear the details that will come out eventually. Just break your heart And beyond that you know they said there's you know there's still over a hundred amp sits and they call him l. Pr's i'm learning all these acronyms legal permanent residents. You know that they have on the manifest over five hundred holders. Three thousand afghan allies. You help us. That are still there and safe houses that they're you know bribing taliban to To frankly not kill and I i just don't know what to say That's probably why i wrote the song I i i can't believe it It's shocking as you said to me. This is a moral issue. This is not a political issue I would hope that if the situation was the same under a republican president that we would all have the same questions and I'm just asking questions because this song is about two things. It's about the american promise which matters. No man left behind. Matters are word or word to the world matters and about accountability. because if we don't have accountability why would we not make the mistake before and as you said you know. The president looked us in the eye. He said no americans will be left behind. Americans were left behind and nobody has resigned. Nobody's been fired. And if that is our leadership scares me with the next foreign policy crisis which frankly is much more excess existential dangerous than afghanistan. China russia so I again. I don't have words. I'm just hoping that people keep this in front of them because it's our nature to just dismiss and move onto the next thing but literally today. I'm hearing of children hiding because the taliban after them. That's not america. that's not who we are. We put them in this position. It's our job to to help them. They put their lives in our hands. It's the saddest thing to me. Because i never thought i'd see this john. And here's the worst part to me. All of this was preventable. I don't know how often you watch the tv show. We've been friends a long time. Had a friend or two occasionally push me back and said you know. My whole life doesn't revolve around your shows. I gotta work to But i've been showing this map of. Okay what the taliban on the march since february march april may june july by july joe's bragging about the afghan army and you know some of the best training in the world but they were getting rolled by the taliban that sixty percent of the country. He could have gotten us out early. He could have pushed them back with. Drone strikes like trump would have done on day one. And it's all preventable. You can't screw it up any worse than this john. And that's the frustrating thing and let me tell you something this beheading these murders this weekend. The rights taken away from women. Mark my words. It's only the beginning of the hell that is a that will be unleashed in that country. I'll give you the last word by we got it all on. Hannity dot com. No i think you're right. But i still think there's time that's why you know we should still be talking. There's still ways that we can improve the situation. We are america okay. We are the usa. We don't take terms from the taliban. What the problem is john. They've got joe. Says we have the leverage no they have the leverage. You know what they've got. They've got our fellow citizens. If we engage the militarily now they will die for sure we're left with bribery ransom and kissing their ass. That's the only three options i see. Well some of our patriotic friends are on the ground. All about it to make sure that doesn't happen but again i think Again i think we have country have to look at these two immoral lens not a political one. We have to hold people accountable. It certainly was preventable. And i you know. I believe if the administration would have come out early and said look. We made a mistake. We didn't realize this was going to happen. The army was gonna fall that they're going to move this fast but we understand mistake. We're going to change course we're gonna take action to get our people out. We're going to extend the deadline. I think we may not have liked it but we would have understood but they did not do that. They called an extraordinary success. And i think all of us are looking at them particularly journal million austin because we expect them to be adults in the room asking. How could this happen. What's happening you know. Want to say one thing. I said to john this weekend or last late last week when i talked to him. You know they're gonna be coming after you with a vengeance on this. And he said there'll sean there are fellow. americans lives in jeopardy and the consequent you. She just brushed it off. Like i don't care. I'm standing up. What i believe in john andros And we have blood on my hands. The full video unedited by us. And then we put in our our our edited version. That has some sound in it. will air it Tonight on hannity on the fox news channel Thank you for sharing it with us. And i hope it gets people to think into really understand how awful the says and how this can never happen again. John your good friend. Thank you for being with. Thank you sean..

Boris Johnson Hopes to Meet Biden for Talks at White House
"British media reports that prime minister. Boris johnson will travel to washington later this month for a frank conversation with the us. President joe biden. The means income says attesting time for the special relationship between washington and london. With both johnson's allies and foes in westminster questioning whether they can rely on. Us support after the hasty withdrawal of american forces from afghanistan. Let's get the latest now with thomas gift director of the ucla sensor on us politics. Thank you very much for joining us this afternoon. Thomas so first of all. How necessary is this face to face. Meeting between these lead us. Well it's great to be with you. Marcus and thanks so much for joining me. I think it's particularly significant time for the two leaders to mate especially given what happened in the aftermath of afghanistan. I think the first point to note here is really the obvious that boris johnson is reaching out to joe biden about holding a meeting and not the other way around reflects the rather straightforward state of affairs that the uk needs the united states more than the united states needs the uk both countries of course would prefer to be on good terms with one another and a healthy working transatlantic. Collaboration is in the interest of both london and washington. However despite the special relationship the power imbalance is real. And i think what we saw with afghanistan and what the johnson administration really has to come to terms with is that joe biden is not unlike any other leader in that. He's going to prioritize interest of his home country. It's clear that he wanted out about kenniston that he thought exiting afghanistan was in the best interest of the united states and that very little would've changed his mind. And that was the case. Regardless of what the u k thought or any other western ally for that matter but against this backdrop. I think it is a timely opportunity for both leaders to get together over over a table and kind of talk through things. What happened and how they can do things better

"I'm sorry. Ben, ashore in for David Brancaccio, President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping had a 90 minute phone call late last late yesterday It was an attempt to improve U. S China relations, which have been contentious on a lot of levels. Marketplaces Nancy Marshall Ganz has more One huge issue between Beijing and Washington. Trump administration tariffs on Chinese imports that are still in effect. The Biden administration is reviewing its China policy, including what to do about the tariffs. A survey of U. S. Companies from the American Chamber of Commerce in China says almost half want the tariffs removed. Three quarters say they're impacted by the tariffs. The Biden administration has also accused Chinese officials of stealing intellectual property from US companies and President Biden has blamed China for cyber attacks in the US linking Beijing to hackers. The White House says yesterday's call was meant to responsibly manage the competition between the U. S and China. And the two leaders discussed quote the responsibility of both nations to ensure competition does not veer into conflict. I'm Nancy Marshall Ganz er for marketplace. If you are a company that employs more than 100, people, you gotta require them to get vaccinated or test them every week. That's one of several new rules, President Biden announced Thursday. All together. These rules would cover as many as 100 million Americans. Now, a lot of companies already require vaccination of at least some of their workers. Take, for example, United Airlines Earlier this week, United tightened its party even further. It said that employees who were exempt from the company's vaccine mandate for religious reasons would be put on temporary unpaid leave. Marketplaces. Caroline Champlin has more The policy will probably be challenged in court, according to UC Hastings law professor Dorit Reiss. It's not exactly firing the people who have religious objections, but it's a very high burden on them and a very serious sanctions on them. Rice says courts would likely look to see if United was reasonably accommodating to these employees and the risk to customers and staff would also be considered. Yale Health policy professor Jason Schwartz says Considering the Covid 19 Delta variant, the policy is an understandable revision to the company's original mandate. Air travel is such a vehicle from areas where there's high transmission two areas of low transmission. This is the strictest mandate that Laura Boudreau with the Columbia business School has seen so far. This will be another kind of potential turning point and terms of how far will expect to see other employers go with their policies. She says the future of individual airlines could come down to the success of their policies. I'm Caroline champion for marketplace. Let's do the numbers..

Not too much. And descend. And while Putin announced they had reached some sort of agreement on cybersecurity, which really means they haven't reached an agreement on cyber security. As far as cyber security is concerned, we agreed that we would begin Consultations on that issue, and I believe that's extraordinary important. Okay. So what exactly were the details of that type of security agreement? The answer is not much. According to The Associated Press, which again was cheerleading for Biden throughout this whole thing, US President Joe Biden and Russia's Vladimir Putin exchange cordial words and plotted modest steps on arms control and diplomacy, but emerged from their much anticipated with summit Wednesday, largely where they started. Deep differences on human rights, cyberattacks, election interference and more. The two leaders reached an important but hardly relationship changing agreement to return their chief diplomats to Moscow and Washington after they were called home as the relationship deteriorated in recent months, and Biden and Putin agreed to start working on a plan to solidify their countries last remaining treaty limiting nuclear weapons. But there are three hours of talks on the shores of Lake Geneva left movement standing firmly in the same positions they had started in. I'm not confident he'll change his behavior, Biden said it opposed Summit news conference. What will change his behavior as the rest of the world reacts to them and they diminish their standing. I'm not confident. Meanwhile, the White House in Kremlin had set low expectations. Going into the summit. They issued a joint statement after the conclusion that said that they're meeting showed the practical work. Our two countries can do to advance our mutual interests and also benefit the world. Okay, so basically, they issued a statement from Miss Congeniality. Right. That's that's that's pretty much like they world Peace, World peace. Over and over. Biden defaulted. You will find out when assessing whether their discussions about nuclear power, cybersecurity and other thorny issues will pay off. Biden came into the summit, pushing Putin to clamp down on the surge of Russian originated cyber security and ransomware attacks. When the summit ended, it wasn't evident that more than superficial progress had been made. Biden said that he made clear that if Russia cross certain red lines, his administration would respond and the consequences would be devastating. Right. That's him talking about Navalny's we played before. But what are those consequences? Nope. And meanwhile, Putin just continues to deny it. And most of cyber attacks in the world are carried out from the cyber realm of the United States. It is the game that he plays right. It's always the U. S. The U. S is cyber attacking itself. That's that's probably it nailed it. Garry Kasparov has been a long time anti Putin dissident and he was on MSNBC again. MSNBC They were busy basically to binning all over Joe Biden for this thing, journalism in all over the wazoo, hot, sticky journalism getting everywhere but Garry Kasparov kind of burst the bubble. He was like. Yeah, this was not a win for Joe Biden. The good news. The only good news about the meeting by the summit. It was shorter than I expected. So there was not much damage done. But Putin got what he wanted. That's why he was beaming with joy when you left, uh, pressed the summit and went to the press conference. Even when he entered, um the building before the talks. He got the attention that he Could even couldn't be dreaming of getting during the last few years. Correct correct. And Kasparov knows more about this than the entire combined anchor staff at MSNBC and CNN. That's for damn sure. Meanwhile, Biden he walked out, he said, I did. When I came to do He said. The last thing he now who wants now is a cold war. Significant cyber capabilities and and he knows it. Well, actually, the thing he wants most kind of is a cold war because it actually in transit tower. But this is the thing. That's not the message that you're gonna get from the media today because the media are just in the bag for Biden. As always, This whole thing was not directed for foreign consumption was not directed at accomplishing anything was directed toward American consumption. That's all it was directed in American political audience. Because by knew that if he said, a couple of things like human rights and democracy, without actually demanding anything of Putin in terms of hard deliverables, then the media would celebrate him and say, Well, at least he isn't trump. And that's exactly what he got. Because this is our media. I mean, Meanwhile, I mean, it is incredible. The media are being treated just just what they are. They're lapdogs. Biden passed them on the head every so often and he puts them outside. When they are being unpleasant. They start barking. He immediately takes him and he pushes them into the yard. And they're just fine with it. It's absolutely incredible. So there was a clip that that went viral little bit yesterday. These reporters who are outside the mics were on and they started joking about the kinds of questions that they were going to be asking Biden right before the summit. What did you think of the Vice president's trip started? What about this or 21 supported? Where? There you go. Let's stop about one of the questions they're joking about. Where's Hunter?
