ben: starting last year, we really saw this. this is one of the only bipartisan issues that i could think of last year, heading into the election. there was a united call for chinese firms to allow u.s. regulators to look into their audits, make sure their financial audits were complying with u.s. rules. there is a rule that if you are going to list on a u.s. exchange, an agency has to be able to inspect those audits. essentially, on capitol hill, lawmakers have been pushing the sec to get tough on that. what we saw today also in the statement from chair gensler was, in addition to disclosing those risks with shell companies, involvement with the chinese government, these companies also need to disclose clearly that they understand the risks, that they need to allow the u.s. inspectors to look at their audit, or they could face delisting here in the u.s. matt: what are we still waiting to hear from the chinese? could we get more information, for example, from the party? ben: without a doubt. this is very much a developing situat

so everything they're saying about ben shapiro is true about them, the only difference being that ben shapiro is candid about his views and npr pretends superiority. howie: ben shapiro reacted by saying npr is selling outrage over everything trump related. if the daily wire isn't publishing falsehoods and is completely upfront about the conservative ideology, what is the problem with his success? >> the problem is his success. that's exactly the problem. which is that, you know, i think people have foreof gotten that prior to -- forgotten that prior to trump's arrival on the political scene, most of these outlets were really struggling. msnbc was on the verge of firing almost every one of their hosts, besides rachel maddow. trump was a sugar boost to them. now that he's gone, the audience is collapsing. everybody in media has seen their audience decline. but it's the liberal side of the corporate media that has really had this collapse because they placed all their bets on trusm and -- trump and with him gone, they encouraged the audience to believe there's no more reason to pay atten

ben, go ahead. >> ben: juan can advance this argument about illegal guns until is he blue in the face. it's not going to convince americans because they understand that the level of illegal gun us and the access to them has not dramatically increased in recent years. this is about the people who are on the streets. it's not about the guns that are on the streets. it's about the fact that we have backed up court systems and that we have situations where we have run roughshod over a lot of the different things that were, to bill's point, keeping a lot of potentially violent criminals behind bars. he quoted tom wolf. i will make a reference to chesterton. when you come across a fence in a field you should ask why it's there before you knock down. in this instance i think unfortunately we have discovered why some of these rules, some of these situations were there in ouesigned to keep americans safe as we see these homicides continue to rise in major cities going to have a massive effect on the way that those cities are governed and lived in and the experience, i think, in particular, aro

ben ritchie, thank you so much. want to keep you updated on these pfizer headlines that have been rolling out on the call. these are quite interesting. i mentioned earlier the chief science officer weighing protection against infection against mild disease -- infection and mild disease. i don't see any kind of timeframe for that, like it wanes after six months, etc., but they are seeing waning protection for mild disease infections and hospitalizations. they say a booster is likely needed. they just don't know if it is going to be annually. i will wrap this into the headline that crossed in the last hour. if you are in new york city, you get a vaccination shot, you get $100. ok. crazy that that is what we are down to. also, where is my $100? dani: i don't live in new york anymore, so i can't ask for it, but i kind of wonder, is it like mini stimulus? you go out and see a broadway show, you help the economy. kind of like a double senate -- a double wing. alix: what runway shall have you been to? that's like a quarter

there has been videos of certain politicians throwing away their pints of ben and jerry's. i want to read you a tweet from the foreign minister saying that the decision represents shameful surrender to anti-semitism to bds which is the boycott israeli products movement and to all that is wrong with anti-jewish discourse. we will not be silent. and also calling the move morally wrong saying that he has been on the phone with the ceo of unilever which owns ben and jerry's to rebuke this decision. >> do we know how long this will last and how popular ben and jerry's is in israel? >> i can tell you as somebody who shops in jerusalem and the area, that you see it sold at nearly every corner store, many grocery stores. it is quite popular. it has been here -- licensed in israel since 1987. now, we don't have many details on exactly how this new arrangement will work. and also whether the ice cream will then be made available in the west bank in the palestinian territories through another licensee there. all of those details have not necessarily been given out. all we know is that

ben? >> you know, this -- i'm not going to take the president at his word on this because i don't believe that we ought to at this point. i don't believe this is about getting more people vaccinated. real dearth of vaccines are among those populations not likely to be listening to right wing charlatans or anything like that. it's black voters. it's hispanic voter who are, unfortunately, lagging behind when it comes to their vaccination rates. what i heard from the president today is a lot more about politics than it is about vaccination. and that is a belief on the part of leading democrats in washington, d.c. that the only way for them to get their overall agenda pushed through before a midterm that they believe represents a tidal wave that will sweep nancy pelosi and others out of power is to lean in to the permanent pandemic, the emergency status of all of these different things that will keep the money flowing and that will keep their policies at the forefront. unfortunately, i think t

ben: it will be an optimization game. where we have previously said we will go to $65 billion net debt levels, that was an easy proxy for people to understand until what point will will be focusing on debt reduction. we are now in a much more sophisticated game of optimizing between debt reduction, competitive shareholder distributions, and at some point and tied, except -- at some point in time, accelerating our growth. we aim for aa credit metrics across the cycle when it comes to our balance sheet strength. anna: can i ask about your trading divisions, how they fared? would it be a fair characterization to say that some of the trading business did not manage to make the most out of some of the durations we have seen in the markets over the past quarter or is that unfair? how would you characterize the trading business? ben: i think we had a decent trading quarter, but nothing is as good if you compare it the same quarter last year. that was an exceptional quarter, exceptional circumstances, and of course, our trading d

he has an outperform rating on tesla, so ben, what do you think? ben: thank you for having me on. i think, looking back on it -- there was a lot of controversy. first of all, he recused himself from voting. even though he was the chairman, he did recuse himself. i think it is pretty interesting that he did take the stand. looking back, 2016, tesla energy did about $300 million of revenue. we forecast about $3 billion. in five years, 300 million to $3 billion. there is solar involved. but, that is pretty spectacular growth. emily: we talked to dan ives yesterday. he thinks this whole deal is one of the biggest black eyes on tesla and elon musk that he has seen. they have made a lot of risky moves and a lot of them have paid off but he does not believe this one did. ben: i was down in the trenches during this, i think i was one of the only analysts covering both stocks. a lot of? so about cross ownership. i think going back to the numbers, $300 million to $3 billion. also, the leadership they have shown. five years ago, they made this choice to move into the energy business. now, go

ben, the spike in the stock in the middle of the day came during your analyst conference call i think it's when you said you expect to be fully back to levels beyond 2019 sooner than expected paint a picture for the second half of this year if you could and are you worried about any impact from the delta variant slowing down the growth that you're seeing? >> well, yeah, thanks, phil. thanks for having me yeah it was a great second quarter and i have to give credit to the people of alaska airlines it's just a great performance. we were close to break even. we beat the industry on pretax margins in the second quarter. and as we look beyond, the third quarter looks strong we're projecting double-digit pretax profits in the third quarter. single high digits in the fourth quarter. and i mean the question on the delta variant, the question is we don't know. what we're seeing right now is no impact to our forward looking bookings but one thing that we've done at alaska has really been prudent how we deploy capacity we're trying to match capacity and demand so we're going to watch this delta

ben: i think the energy business continues to grow. a slower pace of the energy business than the car business. i think this is a situation where tesla with its market cap, at the time, solarcity was a $3.4 billion company, which is somewhat of a rounding error at this time. i do not want to minimize how big of a business it is, but i think the growth is very key to the overall infrastructure that tesla is trying to build out for its ev's and renewables. i think the acquisition of solarcity accelerated that. having the services has helped it sell more equipment, helped get the brand out, more awareness. overall, i think it was a good choice at the right time. emily: thanks so much for weighing in. coming up, 2021 was supposed to be the year of the spac but so far, that has only been partially true. after the break, we will be joined by marc cooper to talk about this. and dealmaking in the second half of the year. this is bloomberg. ♪ emily: the first half of 2021 saw a record m&a deals from amazon, at&t, and discovery, and of course
