00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: John Carney, how.

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: You doing very good, Mark, thanks for having me.

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: Hey, these numbers that came out today inflation, consumer price.

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: Of course, the fake news will make it look like

14
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: disastrous numbers. What's the real story.

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: So the real story is something everybody knows. Gasoline prices

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: went up a lot during the Iran war. We have

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 2: the shutdown of the straight or for moves pushed up

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 2: gasoline prices, pushed up oil prices. But beyond that, the

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: numbers are actually really good. Their grocery prices fell zero

20
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: point two percent for the month. Overall inflation was up

21
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 2: just zero point two percent. That's actually less than what

22
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: was expected. So This is very much confined to gasoline,

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: other energy products a little bit, but really a story

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: where you had a lot of inflation of higher prices

25
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: in gas that didn't spread to the rest of the economy.

26
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: It's not a story of well, we're paying more for gas,

27
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: so other prices are going up. No. In fact, the

28
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: opposite looks like it's happening. We're getting a better supply

29
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: story in a lot of things. Prices aren't moving up.

30
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: It's really just gas prices.

31
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: And do you have any doubt that gas will come

32
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: right back down as soon as the Iran stuff is over.

33
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, it's already oil prices have fallen dramatically because

34
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: of just the ceasefire. We're not even really getting that

35
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: much oil through the straight of her mood yet. There's

36
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: a lot of unclarity about what's going on there. But

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: the prices have dropped from we were up near one

38
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: hundred and ten dollars barrel down to the into the nineties.

39
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: They'll probably drop further that will be reflected in gas prices.

40
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: So yes, that's going to come off very quickly, and

41
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 2: I think we're going to see some very good results

42
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: in the future when it comes to these inflation numbers. Again,

43
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: this is just a gasoline story.

44
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we don't get oil from the Straits or

45
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: we really don't need it. I know, are US oil

46
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: they raise the prices to match the world price. But

47
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: couldn't they not do that? Could they just keep the

48
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: price where it is based on the fact that we

49
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: have plenty of oil.

50
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, we do have plenty of oil. But actually,

51
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: one of the things that is that happens when the

52
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: price of oil goes up around the world is it

53
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: increases demand from other places for US oil. So Japan

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: can't get oil right now from the Persian Gulf, so

55
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 2: they're putting in orders for US oil. So that's why

56
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: our price went up, is people are turning to US.

57
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: I actually think there may be not a permanent increase

58
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: to oil prices from this, but a permanent shift in

59
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: demand towards the US. Meaning people who were from countries,

60
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: whether it's Japan, South Korea, even China that we're getting

61
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: a lot of their oil from the Persian Golf now

62
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: realize that that's not as secure as they thought, and

63
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 2: they're going to start saying we need to have better

64
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: relationships with US oil producers, so that we can get

65
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: more of it from there, not be as reliant as

66
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: we have been on the Persian Gulf. We do have

67
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: a problem in that the environmentalists have basically prevented us

68
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: from building a pipeline to the West coast, which would

69
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: make it much easier to you know, take our oil

70
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: from North Dakota, from Oklahoma, from Texas and bring it

71
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 2: into Asia right now, believe it or not, Mark the

72
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: oil goes all the way from the Gulf of Mexico,

73
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: all the way around South America and then up to Asia.

74
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 2: It's basically like a nineteenth century whaling ship has to

75
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: sail all the way around South America to get all

76
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: They can't even get through the Panama Canal because these

77
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: oil tankers are so big. In the Panama Canal is

78
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: one already, you know, basically stuffed to the gills with traffic.

79
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: And number two, it can't take the giant oil tankers.

80
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: It can take smaller ones. But the oil goes all

81
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: the way around, which is sort of mind blowing that

82
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 2: we're still doing that.

83
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: Well, So John Connie, the left yelling and screaming, look

84
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: what Trump did to the gas prices. Look what that's

85
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: doing to your pocketbook. But didn't the left do that

86
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: to your energy bill or electric bill used to be

87
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars now it's five hundred. Isn't that what

88
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: the left did because of their green schemes and all

89
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: that stuff.

90
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Look, they want energy prices to be high.

91
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: They really want oil prices to be high. If they could,

92
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: if they could get their way, oil prices and gasoline

93
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: prices would be much higher. All you have to do

94
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: is look at where oil price, where gasoline is cheaper,

95
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: and where it's more expensive. It's super expensive in states

96
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: like California that have enormous taxes on gasoline. So they

97
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: would And why do they want gasoline to be expensive.

98
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 2: One they want people to stop using fossil fuels. Two.

99
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: When you get it, when you get the price of

100
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: gasoline to go up, it makes the idea of getting

101
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 2: an electric car a little bit more attractive because you say,

102
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have to pay as much for gasoline. So

103
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 2: they're trying they want these things to be more expensive

104
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: so that their green scheme alternatives look relatively less expensive.

105
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 2: It's phony. When they complain about the price of gasoline

106
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 2: going up, they want it higher. And if they get

107
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: elected into office. Believe me, what we've seen right now

108
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: will be nothing compared to what we will be paying

109
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: for gasoline if we have a democratic Congress and a

110
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: democratic president.

111
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: Well, hey, John Carney, right by business. I just we've

112
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: been quoting you all week. We're talking about the stock market,

113
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, crashing on the beginning of Iran. It's soaring,

114
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: and you called it an overreaction machine. I think that's

115
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: the best description of it. It really is, that, isn't it?

116
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: Absolutely Look one of the things that happens is investors

117
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: basically begin to overreact and then you get a recursiveness

118
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: because they see stocks starting to fall and you know,

119
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: they sold a little, and then they say, oh, it's

120
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: going down even more, I better sell more. So you

121
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: do get this over reaction, and then it also over

122
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: corrects the other way, where you get these huge jumps.

123
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: Over time, it tends to even out. Right, it's in

124
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: the short term it can look absolutely nuts. But when

125
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: we look back on and say stocks this year or

126
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 2: even last year, right, stockworker did really well last year

127
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 2: even though we had, you know, the Liberation Day reaction

128
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: where stocks crashed. So you know, my advice to everybody

129
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: is Look, unless you're a you know, like a trader

130
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: at a Wall Street firm or a hedge fund, and

131
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: you know you're trying to trade that little that volatility

132
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: that happens, you know, look past that stuff. What's going

133
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: to happen over the year is all of these ups

134
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: and downs will look very small compared to what the

135
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: actual trend of stocks.

136
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we went through this with terras remember that stock

137
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: market crash, and then we hit all the time eyes

138
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: after that.

139
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: So that's right, And what the reason is because ultimately

140
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: what stocks reflect is the shape is how the economy

141
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: is doing. The economy is actually doing quite well. We

142
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: have a lot of tailwinds in the economy right now

143
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: that are actually stronger than the higher price of gasolin. Yes,

144
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: higher price of gasoline is a drag on the economy,

145
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: but all of the Trump tax cuts that are hitting

146
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: right now, all of the deregulation that's hitting right now,

147
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: that's actually propelling the economy forward even stronger than the

148
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: higher gas prices are a drag. So I think we're

149
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: actually going to see accelerating growth through the year.

150
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: Wow, all right, that's a good note to end on.

151
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: Very good. John Cornie writes the for Breitbart Business Digests.
