♪ ♪ paul: welcome to the journal editorialing report. i'm paul gigot. millions of residents in the lone star state were left without heat and electricity this week as a winter storm and plunging temperatures crippled the texas power grid and brought the nation's most energy-rich state to its knees. widespread power outages leaving politicians and the press pointing fingers. so just what got texas to this point? let's ask "wall street journal" columnist dan henninger, kim strassel and editorial board member allysia finley. allysia, what happened here that caused the meltdown? >> so it was a con newspapers of bad typing -- confluence of bad time, bad weather and bad government policies. this is an historic freeze for texas with temperatures dipping down, plunging, for that matter, into the single digits. but the bigger problem is there just wasn't enough power to keep the grid running, and that's largely because the state has been forging more and more into wind over the last decade. the power that it derives from wind has more than doubled while the amou

paul: right. results here, not equal treatment under the law which is what i always thought was certainly the essence of the civil rights act of 1964. kyle: part of it is trying to eliminate cut down on disparities but the problem is, that means treating individuals differently which does not seem fair, it doesn't square with equality as americans have starkly understood it as part of the reason, it's not even clear the way the politics cut here because there was a referendum in california last year to revive racial preferences and it failed and it didn't fail by the margin, it was 14. paul: 50% and a small number of counties. kim, this is parallel with the harvard suit related to, there have been asian americans that have sued for discrimination and they've lost at the district court level but the may end up going to the supreme court. what you think about prospects there? kim: this was a group called students. for admission. they already signaled they would appeal to the supreme court, they are

paul: okay. and that $34 billion figure, i guess that's over two years. so if you expand that, multiply that by five for a ten-year budget window, that's $170 billion or so, and you're talking about -- that's going right into the deficit, is it not? >> it is. and just to be clear, so these subsidies are payments that are made from the u.s. treasury directly to health insurance companies. and people can only access them if they purchase obamacare plans. and, actually, if you extrapolate this over ten years, the cost would be much greater than the five times 34 billion because employers will have incentives to drop coverage. by keeping it limited to two years, employers are unlikely to drop coverage because they don't want to disrupt the coverage that their employees have. but these subsidies are so large are now that employers will reorganize themselves, and they'll stop offering benefits. and i think you could see a 10-year cost of this approaching half a trillion dollars. paul: wow. there's anot

paul? paul: thanks, karina. australia is likely to see a rebound in corporate profits with ongoing strength and optimism over vaccines. we are joined now by our guest. the plan is aligning at least for earnings season here in australia, and you say it is looking pretty good, but what do you need to see to justify some of the evaluations that we have got right now? >> good morning. yes. that would be the very difficult part for the australia reporting. we have seen decent rallies and a lot of the share prices, especially in some of the e-commerce names, and i think that it may prove to be a little but of a reality check, unfortunately. i think earnings will be good, but i think there has been a dislocation between share prices and valuation, which may be the reality check for the market. >> well, we have got an environment of really low rates and australia. house prices are rebounding strongly, and one of the big announcements is to come by by far the largest listed company on the asx. what are you expected -- ex

francine: paul, are you losing -- tom: paul, are you using the bloomberg terminal? paul: i am using it with everything. tom: that's all i wanted to know. francine: is there a worry about displacing even more workers, and is that going to be -- how much of a drag is that on the economy? paul: every time we have structural upheaval in the economy, there is the fear that the machines are going to take over, the machines are going to steal our jobs, the robots are going to take over. the robots are not going to take over full-time jobs are going to change, about 10% to 15% of jobs are going to be lost, but we are going to create jobs that currently don't exist. a problem, of course, is that if you don't have flex ability in the workforce, and in particular if you have got prejudice which is preventing the right person getting the right job at the right time, then the people who have lost their jobs are not going to be able to find new work, and you will be shorted on the other end of the economy, and that is an imbalance. that is what governments in particular have got

paul: back to our policy of creator first. the reality is, there are times when you're dealing with life group audio where the wishes of the creator, not just means a person who started the room, anyone can be the creator, can be at odds with the would be listener. it could be you are hosting a room and someone wants to be there but you don't want them to be there. or they want to be on stage and you don't want them to be on stage. we decided if there ever was that tension, we would prioritize the creator. like i was saying, there will be people that want their conversation to be broadcast to the whole world, and there will be people that want to have a smaller, more intimate conversation. we believe the creator should be able to decide that. emily: so how do you plan to make money and how do those monetization efforts scale? paul: we are excited about the idea of monetization, not for us, but for our creator community. there are so many incredible people on clubhouse in the world who are smart, funny, who have domain expertis

paul: yeah. kathleen: if you are to extract politics from this, looking solely through an economic lens, is there anything you -- if you are the virus relief czar, something you might remove or change or would you say this is perfect and leave it as it is? paul: it is not perfect, there are things -- it is a mixture of politics and administrative capacity. those $1400 checks are not the best targeted thing in the world. and you want something like that, to reach people who are going to fall through the cracks of the other programs. and if you had time and unlimited ministry of capacity and, let's face it, if there were not the political imperative to make good on promises, you might find -- try for something that was a little bit more targeted than that. but this is -- money is really kind of not an object, amazingly, in all this stuff. and you really want to get a lot of aid out the door fast. you have to get people through the six or seven months of pandemic, and we need to have the economy poi

[ laughter ] and i'm here to confirm that "q" is indeed my favorite joker. >> is that real? >> murr reminds me of ringo, in all the best ways. i just feel that "q" is the paul of the group [ laughter ] >> wait! >> i mean, when you see it now -- i need to defend myself, seth.

i would like to bring in paul. what about the european union? the european parliament president saying europeans are united in condemning the coup. but beyond words of condemnation, what can or should the european union be doing? >> things rapidly. -- thanks for having me. that you should be moving quickly to reimpose sanctions on the military and make clear that if they do not return power, they will move forward with actions. i think it is important that the u.s. move forward in concert with their partners in the eu, u.k., and as the professor said, in ozzie on. the u.s. does have limited leverage economically, there is madrid u.s. businesses in myanmar. but there is power in considered action. kim: as you said, this is only day to. from what we have seen so far, how the generals are acting, how likely do you think it is that they are going to listen to these international calls for a return to democracy? >> it will be a combination of the inside pressure and international pressure. international pressure never works on its own, because as mik

right now in oil, definitive is paul sankey. at deutsche bank far will -- fargo, they used to be -- you read on the global supply of demand of oil. we are glad he can join us this morning. paul, with the gyrations we see in the midwest of the united states and texas permian basin, could we get out of the assumption of range-bound oil? >> these are not gyrations. the situation to me is reminiscent to katrina where, if you recall, on the monday of the katrina, there was an attitude this has not been that big of a deal. over the course of the following week, it suddenly emerged as a horrendous disaster. so people don't realize how bad the situation is. you cap basically full-scale blackouts in mexico but also had the biggest outage in the history of u.s. oil and gas. we have never seen a loss of the scale at a time when [indiscernible] we think you've lost about 3 million bales per day of oil, and we are down at least 3 million barrels refining. all of these in the refining basin about 16 million barrels per day. so gyrations, you

haslinda: paul chan there. let's bring in stephen engle. it is a budget to stabilize the economy, help the burden on the people. what are the key takeaways? stephen: the key takeaways are he has painted a fairly rosy outlook for gdp growth coming off the record contraction in 2020 that he confirmed at 6.1% down. he is saying it will be 3.5% up to 5.5% up. the question is how they will get there when the economy is still under pandemic restrictions, border is not open and flights are extremely limited. confidence is fairly low. they are going to hand out 5000 hong kong dollar consumption coupons to be able to be used in restaurants and bars and retail shops. obviously retailers will like this. it is different than last year when they gave a blank check, $10,000 hong kong, 1300 dollars u.s. to do what they like with it. that did not necessarily go into the economy, it went into the bank account or stock market. they are taking a different approach. the other thing i am looking at, the story that went up on the hong kong economic times it was

. >> laura: here now to respond, the senator himself rand paul. from the great state of kentucky. i thought they were supposed to be the party of science, but her answer to you was, well, dr. paul, it's too complex for you to understand what's going on here. >> the thing is a lot of people voted for middle-class joe biden, he supposed to have these middle-class and working-class values but my guess is none of them realize that he's going to appoint someone so extreme as to believe a minor can make a life altering decision to change their, even overriding the parental consent. i think they could do it with no parental consent, but i think she would do it if the parent said no and the kid said yes. she's also on record as saying, yeah, if they are street kids, we'll do it even sooner. think about what that even means. that means a homeless child who has had a rotten childhood or no parents or has a mental illness themselves, she's willing to do this exchange even quicker. they did a survey of these sects change surgeons, over half of them have opera

paul: the range of the vehicle is wide. we can think it is suitable for any trip that is 150 miles per that might be your daily commute, but it might be connecting cities to suburbs or other cities. that is a pretty wide range of use capabilities. when we think about going across the bay, that is a perfect example. in the bay area, there is a lot of difficult geography you have to navigate, congestion on whether it is the bay bridge or san mateo bridge, and aerial cars have the ability to dramatically increase people's -- dramatically decrease people's commute time. emily: there are dozens of companies trying to do what you are doing. one of your competitors recently had a battery fire, there are regulatory hurdles, there is the cost. why are you so optimistic this will be a mainstream reality? and it will be -- and will it be for everyday people or just billionaires? paul: [indiscernible] first, wanted to show the vehicle was incredibly safe. second, we wanted to make sure it was incredibly quiet. and third, we wanted to m

paul child talking to me earlier. —— paul charles. —— paul charles. israel is easing many of its covid lockdown restrictions from today. nearly half of the country's population has received at least one dose of the vaccine. gyms, hotels and tourist attractions are re—opening, but entry will only be allowed to those with a green pass, which shows they've either had the jab or the virus. nickjohnson reports beer to persuade some. pizza to persuade others. israel's programme to get covid jabs in arms continues at pace. the country has the highest vaccination rate in the world, more than 49% of people have had at least one dose. it is all part of the national effort to break free from this new normal. shops and restaurants closed, an economy at risk, peoples lives on hold. after a steep resurgence in covid infections, the country entered its third lockdown just after christmas. but health officials say progress in their vaccination programme is now starting to make a difference in the number of infections, allowing the country to begin reopening its eco

-paul: how you doing, marcus? -i'm paul. -lemonis: nice to meet you. -paul: good to meet you. -lemonis: wow. you got a lot of good stuff. paul: yeah, we're working on it. man: how you doing? do you have 2 pounds of red snapper? spencer: no reds today. -man: no reds? -spencer: no. man: well, i'm gonna try some grouper today. 2 pounds. spencer: okay. lemonis: what else are you out of? paul: i believe we are out of tuna. lemonis: tuna's kind of a popular fish to be out of. is gary, the owner, around? spencer: yes. i'll go get him. he's in the office. lemonis: okay. the place is definitely underutilized. i look to the left, and there's this big counter with nothing on it, nothing merchandised on it. it definitely has room for improvement. paul: i mean, this is a great place. i love the job and everything. it's just that sometimes it gets a little bit stressful when you don't know what's going on. lemonis: what kinds of things are you -- paul: like money, really, to be honest with you. sometimes, we're asked if we mind waiting for our checks a week or two. we've had problems paying

chief meteorologist paul heggen joins us and tracks where the heaviest rain comes down now. paul? >> throughout the city for the next hour or so but pushing him into the east bay now. up and down the diablo range is where we see the heaviest rainfall. more lines up offshore. assuming in for a close look at the heaviest showers. it's locally heavy downpours now making their way to the east of 680 and moving from concord towards brentwood. continuing to alameda county as well. nothing to worry about in terms of the debris flows or mudslides on the burn scars. there are heavy downpours but not lasting long enough. they move quickly enough that we won't see these on scar areas. around san jose, really just moving in within the last couple of hours. perceptions is cooking moderate rain with another burst of heavy rain offshore. that will move in within the next half hour or 45 minutes. northbay, seeing a scattered pattern now. heaviest rain has moved through. not completely dry. showers linger through the rest of this evening. all of this moves to the east and we will dry out after mid

. >> paul heggen joins us with a closer look at what we can expect. paul? >> dry weather looks like it could stick around for a while once it settles in. these are our rain chances over the next seven days and there is not much to look at here. a warmington percent chance on monday, that is the highest we have seen into early next week. that dry stretch of weather will continue through the first half of next week but if it goes longer than that, the 6 to 10 day outlook goes through the end of next week and calls for a good chance of below average rainfall not just for the bay area but for most of western u.s., and the 14 day outlook takes us all the way through presidents' day weekend. and also shows a decent chance of below average precipitation. below average does not necessarily mean of zero and sometimes, long-range data will shift a bit one direction or the other. we will keep looking for any hint of moisture but it does look like a dry stretch of weather will continue through at least the weekend as temperatures warm up, too. i will check that coming

as we struggle to get congressman bowman's connection back, i want to show you what paul krugman said last night with rachel maddow. this was when rachel discussed the issue to the point of considering how good is this legislation, even if they lose the minimum wage out of the bill. let's listen to what nobel prize-winning economist paul krugman said about that. >> this is a -- i'm kind of almost pinching myself. i can't believe that we're about to get a bill that is as good -- it's not perfect, especially -- i miss that minimum wage. but we're about to get a bill that's as good as it appears we're going to get. >> there is no more distinguished liberal economist than paul krugman, and he is right that in his time in watching this kind of legislation we have never seen anything this big, this good, even without the minimum wage. and of course the loss of the minimum wage is a disappointment to everyone except a couple senators who are opposed to that level of increase in the united states senate. and so going forward now, the democrats face the challenge of how do you pass the minimum

senator rand paul of kentucky. i thought they were supposed to be the party of signs, but for their answer to you, that doctor, paul, it's too complex for you to understand. what's going on here? >> a lot of people voted for middle-class joe biden who is supposed to have these working-class values. my guess is none of them realize he's going to appoint someone so extreme as to believe a minor can make a life altering decision to change their sex even overriding the parental consent. i think they will do it with no parental consent and also do weights if the parent said no and the kid said yes. she's also on record as saying, yeah, if there is three kids we will do even sooner. think about it what it means, a homeless child who's either had a rough childhood are no parents, a mental illness themselves, she's going to do a sex change even quicker. they did a survey, half of them operated on people under 18. this isn't a wild question, it's a real question and they're giving the hormones that change the sex, testoster

joining us for more is joby's executive chair paul sciarra. , paul, the air taxi is a few years out, not on the market yet. so why do a spac now? paul: first of all, thanks for having me on. i'm really excited about the news today. part of it is about the deal and transaction, and part of it is where we stand. in addition, we are releasing new flight footage of our vehicle moving through the full transition. we have put more than 1000 hours on that vehicle and feel really good. it is hitting all the numbers we set out this year. the range, the speed, and the overall capacity. it felt like the right time to put more resources on the balance sheet, but more important lee, we felt like we were ready for the technical standpoint, we have two get to the set of milestones to get us to commercial release. emily: we have been talking about the spac controversy almost the entire hour. we were speaking with a-rod about his spac plan. there are folks out there who say these are companies that are not necessarily ready for prime time. what is your response to that? paul: from our perspective, de
