WEBVTT - Mornings with Thom Brennaman 11/20/2025 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:05.160 Money, money, money, money, cash wealth. Listen to the words 0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:09.559 of this financial titan. This is the Bloomberg Money Minutes 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.080 on seven hundred WLW. 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:17.320 Alrighty, Gina Cervetti. Jeez, Genus Cervetti from the Bloomberg newsroom 0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:20.200 in New York. So easy for me to say, Gina Servetti. 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:22.599 We've all been there. I think I think I need 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:24.120 more coffee this morning. 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.440 Tom, I'm doubling up myself. I got a long day 0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:30.280 and night ahead. There's a major merger in the healthcare 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:31.680 industry today. 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:34.519 Right, and this is one of the biggest healthcare related 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:38.960 deals of the year. Abbot Labs is buying Exact Sciences. 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:42.600 Now you may not recognize that name. This company makes 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:46.240 cola guard. This is a diagnostic test that helped screen 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:50.360 for colorectal cancer. And maybe you've seen their ads on television. 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.159 This is a deal with a total equity value of 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:56.800 about twenty one billion dollars. Abbot, of course, makes an 0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:01.760 array of medical devices, nutrition supplements, and other health related products. 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:06.320 It's based in Illinois. Exact Sciences is based in Wisconsin. 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:10.880 Okay, Walmart just keeps rolling. I mean a strong quarter 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:16.119 and certainly a signed Gina it's winning over price sensitive 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:18.720 shoppers these days. Yeah. 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.280 Walmart just boosted its outlook for sales in the full year. 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.319 It's grabbing more shoppers and more digital spending. This marks 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.679 a second increase in its forecast during the fiscal year. 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.160 They're likely to alleviate these results. Are some concerns that 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:37.720 consumers are pulling back amid the cooling job market, corporate layoffs, 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:41.920 rising prices. Walmart is viewed as an economic barometer because 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:44.760 of its large size and its footprint. And by the way, 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.760 tom It also announced that it's moving its stock listing 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.840 from the New York Stock Exchange to the NASDAC to 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.600 somebody nice Okay, Yeah, this is a move to reflect 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.720 it's focus more on tech. 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:58.000 Wow, okay, all right. 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.520 That good for Walmart and the future's last check, they 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:02.640 were looking very strong. 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.840 They do. They still look strong this morning. The mood 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.519 is getting a big boost from the Nvidia earnings, which 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:13.440 were released late yesterday. Down futures up almost three hundred points, 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:17.040 SMP futures up eighty five, and those Nasdaq futures up 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.360 four hundred and forty two. From Bloomberg Genus Cervetti on 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:26.799 news Radio seven hundred WLW. 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.720 Already eight ten on your Thursday morning, getting closer and 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.680 closer to the weekend where you can listen to our 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:34.640 good friend Gary Sullivan on our sister station, fifty five 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.880 KRC nine to noon Saturdays and Sundays, and he syndicated 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:44.200 across nearly three hundred radio stations across America. 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.440 You're a big league operator, Gary. 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:47.800 Oh I try, I try so. 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:49.120 I mean, you are. 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:53.280 A big league operator, big time man, you know, Gary. 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.480 I gotta tell you, there are very few things in 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:01.560 life that I can say I just decid pies. Okay, 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:03.920 very few, And I bet I'm gonna talk about it. 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.440 You're going to talk about what I'm today. Because when 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.639 when my bride Polly says to me, Hey, you know what, 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.520 let's take Saturday and. 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:18.120 Put up Christmas lights, Oh my god, I lose my mind. 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:19.280 You can't go hide. 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.160 I can't go hide. You can run, but you. 0:03:22.160 --> 0:03:25.080 Put your little elf suit on. Oh my god. 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.480 All right, but a lot of people love doing it, 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.160 and I'm going to ultimately go do it. But look, 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:36.880 there is some safety to consider and newmero Uo. Whether 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.200 it's Christmas lights, whether it's changing a light bulb, something 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.720 maybe in the ceiling getting on a ladder. Man, you 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.120 have I know a fellow who died from a faulty 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:50.680 I do out in Arizona, and you know his wife 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:52.440 told him he was a little bit older guy. But 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.080 it can happen to a young person too. 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:57.440 Right, sure. Well, it kind of really starts with the 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.240 type of ladder. And I'm you know, like if you're 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:04.080 hanging next to your lights. Every ladder has a weight 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:08.120 limit on it, and everybody buys the cheapest ladder, right, 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:13.520 I mean, I'll buy the type on it's got a 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.880 two hundred pounds weight limit. You take a walk around, 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:21.880 there's a lot of people over two hundred pounds. Care seriously, 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:26.000 be careful. Second thing is an extension ladder. If you're 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:29.919 hanging lights on a gutter, not having a professionally decorated 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.160 and there there's an idea for you, Tom. 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:34.840 A lot of that going on now, don't get me 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:35.440 any ideas. 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.720 Don't get going on, just stop it. 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.080 I mean, I like you, I don't want to go 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:44.240 south on you, okay, but some professional really does and 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.960 don'ts about putting up lights outside? 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:47.400 Yeah? 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.600 Yeah, So make sure you use the ladder, make sure 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:51.880 it's steady, make sure it's got a good footing, make 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:55.200 sure somebody's there with you. Make sure it extends three 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.440 feet above where you're going to hang the lights, like 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.120 extends above the gut. Just make sure it's solid, make 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:05.039 sure somebody's with you. And when you do the you 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.360 should always have three points of contact. You know, you 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.320 got two rails on the side for your hands, you 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.799 got your feet, that's four. Don't put one foot down 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.640 and you know, do a two point contact. That's unsafe. 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.400 So that's probably number one. Number two is where have 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.320 you stored your lights? A lot of people storm in 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.039 the attic and that's the worst place in the world. 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.120 I mean that attic in the summertime can be one 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:31.000 hundred and forty hundred and fifty degrees. Those light cords 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:35.200 are very thin, they get very brittle. They're soy oil 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.080 and they get very brittle. They crack, And then if 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.040 you start putting the wrong bushes outside with rain and stuff, 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:45.799 that's certainly a big issue. I mean, that's a big issue. 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.719 So another thing you don't want to do. This is interesting. 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:50.720 This happened to me when you're about ten years ago. 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:57.760 Is letting like cords or extension cords sit on the ground. Really. 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:01.440 I went out one morning and my lights weren't on, 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.240 and I looked around the bush and I find this 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.560 extension cord and it looked like somebody with the diagonal 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:13.320 players cut the cord. And I'm like, who in the 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.520 world would come up through the through the driveway, through 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.720 the yard and cut my my Christmas lights? 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:20.760 I mean, what the heck? 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.400 And I got on the radio and I was just 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.520 kind of bemoaning that fact, and somebody called in and said, 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:27.440 was that. 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.560 Extension cord on the ground. I went yeah, and he goes, 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:31.240 there's a rabbit. 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:33.560 No kidding, I said, a. 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.600 Rabbit, And he goes yeah, and he he told me 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.680 the reason. He said, they're soy oil in those cords, 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.640 and rabbits and squirrels will cut them and it will 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.839 looked like an absolute perfect cut. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:45.640 And it did. 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:50.840 I would have bet my life that diagonal plier cut 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:55.680 that thing. So extension cords and light cords, get those 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:56.760 off the ground. 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.840 Yea, Gary, I mean, you and I both know, okay, 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.479 And you and I both know when you're going out 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.000 there and let's say you've got a row of bushes 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.560 and you're hanging some lights off of them right, and 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:08.920 you plug it into an extension cord. How in the 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.640 world are you supposed to keep that thing off the 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:12.760 ground from where you're plugging it in, perhaps in an 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.160 outlet that sits outdoors. 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:18.640 Yeah, well you can get little steaks, okay, an insulated staple. 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:20.680 Put it right at the top where the cord or 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.880 extension cord is going to the next set of bushes. 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.280 Just keep it off the ground, okay, all right, Right, 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:27.080 So that's how you do it. 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.360 And the biggest protection of all the lights, and I 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:30.000 know you got. 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:31.840 A big interview, so I want to run through this 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:32.360 real quick. 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:36.640 The biggest protection and safety device is having them plugged 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:41.480 into a ground fault circuit interrupter. If there's a short, 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:47.560 if there's moisture in the connections, that will automatically just 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:51.440 shut the entire display down. And it's funny, it's a 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:55.320 protection device, but everybody always thinks when it shuts it down, 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:59.880 it's the protection device's fault. It's right, It's not that 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.880 I have on moisture problem or short, it's that device 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:04.200 is fault. 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:06.560 Of course it could be, but rarely is. 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:08.840 And what you want to do, and a ground fault 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.360 circuit interrupter is the one where it's got the little 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.440 red button and a little black button in the little 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.840 of the outlet. You can reset it. Many of us 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:19.120 have reset them many times and they reset, right. I mean, 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.000 you plug it in and it resets. But if it 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:25.600 doesn't reset, what's going on. Well, maybe it is the 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.760 ground fault circuit interrupter there, or maybe there's water getting 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.080 down behind the outlet itself. 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:34.120 But do check that. 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.400 If it goes off once and it resets, that's fine. 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.839 There was a moisture issue. It worked, everybody's good. If 0:08:40.840 --> 0:08:43.480 it doesn't reset, you may have to replace that, or 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.760 you may have to investigate what's going on, and it's 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:50.040 probably again gets back to the electrical connections time where 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:54.920 they plugging into the outlet and don't wrap them with tape. 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:58.520 Sometimes moisture gets trapped in there, it can't dry. Just 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:02.400 a good tight saran up around there is nice. And 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:06.080 make sure the chords. You know, the outdoor lights are 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.160 obviously outdoor lights, but the extension cords. I've seen people 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.679 use lamp extension chords. No, no, no, no, it's got 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.559 to be an out of course. I know I am 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.000 bright enough to figure that out. Yeah, but people still 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:18.280 do it. 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.560 I know. I want to get that job done because 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.480 you love I love it. 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.240 Now, one thing I want to circle back to before 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:26.760 I let you go, And we do have Zach Taylor 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.480 coming up here in about to have seven minutes. I 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.559 don't know, we're about to find out. We're about to 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.240 find out, and we're gonna ask him. I can promise 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:35.800 you that we might ask him three or four or 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:36.760 five or seven times. 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:37.880 That's good for you. 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:39.600 Okay, let me ask you this show real quick, as 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.200 I want to circle back. You were talking about the ladder, okay. 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.359 A lot of times Gary, when you're hanging up stuff outside, 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:51.440 you're having to put that ladder on the ground right right, Okay, 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.000 So I mean that's where I always get a little 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:56.480 scared and concern for sure. 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.320 Yeah, especially if it's on a slope. You've got to 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:03.439 make sure that it has very very good footing. And 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:05.400 you don't want that letter to be going. 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.240 Straight up either. You want that kicked out. 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.400 There is a formula which is not into my head 0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.680 right now, but on how far out from from the 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.280 wall it should be. But it should be a nice 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.120 not straight up and down. It should be a nice 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:21.720 gradual maybe like a forty five degree security degree slope, 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:23.160 but you know. 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:23.920 It's amazing. 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:26.640 I'm sorry to hear about your friend that that you know, 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.960 fell from a ladder, but it happens all the time. 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:32.000 It's like the number one emergency. 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:35.640 Nobody thinks to have somebody out there with them, not 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:36.320 that they're. 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:37.200 Going to catch them. 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.880 But I don't know about your spouse, but mine would 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.000 quickly tell me that ladder doesn't look solid. 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.720 Yeah, well mine, I don't know.
