$67 Billion Art Wars

The global art market was valued at $67.4 billion in 2018, the second highest year ever. Driven by the United States, United Kingdom and China, the three largest art markets in the world, they combined for 84 percent of sales, led by the U.S. at 44 percent. But the real drivers of the art market are the auction houses. Sales at public auctions exceeded $29 billion in 2018 and two auction houses—Christie’s and Sotheby’s—dominated the market, capturing more than 40 percent of sales. Learn more as CNBC takes a closer look at the market and how two auction houses rose to the top.

Original Gillette Ad Worse

By now, everyone’s familiar with the uproar and outrage over the new Gillette commercial that tried to demonize white men and make all of them appear as sexist pigs. Needless to say, Gillette sales have been plummeting because most men, even the biggest pussies, don’t appreciate that negative portrayal.

Guess what? Turns out the original ad was even worse — but YouTube allowed Gillette to remove and re-edit the ad without having to lose traffic counts. Here, HighImpactFlix shows the changes that were made and asks, “They clearly edited this AFTER they uploaded it. Why did they take THIS part out? Hmmmmmm….”

Hmmm, indeed. All we can say: Screw you, Gillette. We not buying your blades or razors again. And, as far as YouTube goes, we already knew they were deceitful crooks. They post rules so they can screw over conservatives but then allow big companies to bypass the same “rules.” In other words, typical Democratic liars.

Paul Joseph Watson has it right: That was the worst an ad can get. Especially highlighting a Liberal, man-hating asswipe like Ana Kasparian, the co-host of The Young Turks. Glad to see Gillette so interested in the Turkish market and disinterested in selling any razors or blades in America.

Caught attending an international confab in Davos, Switzerland, the chief executive officer of Procter & Gamble, David Taylor, defended the ad on Thursday. He told CNBC’s Sara Eisen, “There is an issue with tox masculinity.” He went on to describe the negative reaction to the video as coming from a “well organized but small number’ of people.

And, in case you were wondering, Mr. Reagan offers a taste of “what the makers of the Gillette Ad were REALLY trying to say.”

Stock Crash Imminent?

Ron Paul is predicting a massive 50 percent stock crash? Josh Sigurdson breaks down and elaborates on Ron Paul’s recent warning on CNBC’s ‘Futures Now’ that it’s conceivable that stocks will plunge 50%, and it could happen in the next year.

As Paul says, “It’s all man-made. It’s not the fault of Donald Trump in the last week. If the market crashes tomorrow and we have a great depression, he didn’t do it in six months. It took more like six or ten years to cause all these problems that we’re facing.”

(EDITOR’S NOTE: The original video has disappeared from YouTube, so here’s another video, from a year later, where Paul again appears on CNBC and makes similar observations and predictions.)

Who Won the Debate?

Political commentator Dick Morris analyzes the third presidential debate, moderated by CNBC, and contends that four candidates did themselves well, but two were especially outstanding. Who performed the worst? That’s a no-brainer. It was CNBC and the Three Stooges who moderated the debate. What a disgraceful exhibition of liberal bias it was. Tune in to this edition of Dick Morris Reports for Morris’ analysis.
