9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us here again. A President

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: Biden asking or suggesting to OPEC plus UH to maybe

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: pump some more oil to bring the price down. What's

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: going on there? And what do you think OPEC plus

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: is going to do? Yeah, honestly, I don't think that

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: OPEC plus is going to take this request all that

15
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: seriously at this point, because there's so much else at

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: play here other than OPEC plus is production, and in fact,

17
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: ope plus just increased production by four thousand barrels a

18
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: day in August and their ending to increase by another

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand barrels a day in September and increases

20
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: of four hundred thousand barrels a day every month through

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: December and even beyond. So I don't think OPEC is

22
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: going to be particularly receptive to this. I think that

23
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: that you know, they're going to say, well, look if

24
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: gasoline prices are up in the US, where the other

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: factors demand is up. Um, there's also been issues with

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: supply chains. Some of there aren't enough truckers and to

27
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: some areas have seen um problems with gasoline prices because

28
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: they just can't get enough gasoline. But the US as

29
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: a whole has plenty of gasoline well on those kind

30
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: of supply and demand balances, which is the end of

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: the day, is basically what the oil market comes down to.

32
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: You why do we expect that everything, all the adjustment

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: has to come from the supply side, especially considering the

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: delta variant that could in theory way on demand. I mean,

35
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: could we get a correction of oil prices to a

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: lower rate not because we need to pump more, but

37
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: because people aren't gonna want as much oil well exactly.

38
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: And also you have to look at things seasonally as well.

39
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: Summertime is at the time of highest gasoline demand in

40
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: the US. And after labor Day it typically drops off

41
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: quite a bit. So we're already almost through the summer. UM,

42
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: You've already got schools going back in session throughout the South,

43
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: so gasoline demand will probably be down there, and then

44
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: one school gets back in session in the North, we're

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: generally see gasoline consumption drop. So it's you know, there's

46
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: also other issues that play, Like the United States were

47
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: down about two million barrels a day of our own production. UM.

48
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: Part of that is due to oil companies not wanting

49
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: to produce, wanting to be more conservative and pay down debt.

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: But other issues include the fact that the Biden administration

51
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: itself has this moratorium on issuing new leases to drill

52
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: on federal land, and that attitude is making a lot

53
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: of producers very hesitant to expand production that could help

54
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: alleviate higher gas prices. ELM. When we talk to you,

55
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: I always like to get your opinion on Russia because that,

56
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 1: to me, from a supply perspective, is, you know, one

57
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: of the wild cards out there. What are we hearing

58
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: from the Russians these days? You know, it's interesting that

59
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: you say that because UM, last week the e I

60
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: A numbers showed that the US imported a lot of

61
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: Russian oil and more Russian oil than they generally generally import,

62
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: and so um we haven't had, you know, a formal

63
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: statement come out of Russia yet, but there was a

64
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: report on the I think he came from from spot

65
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: mcnews saying that UM OPEC members haven't discussed US proposal

66
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: for alliance to increased production, but consultations are not ruled out.

67
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: In other words, well, maybe the US wants to join

68
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: OPEC if they think they should have a say so.

69
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: I think we're still waiting to see what Putin has

70
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: to say about this. Well, speaking of Russia, they obviously

71
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: we hald a great deal of influence in OPEC. Plus

72
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: and you know, the price war between the Russian zaddies

73
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: created quite a lot of drama in the oil market

74
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: last year, and then this year there was some issue

75
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: with the UAE in the latest opaque decision. Just talk

76
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: to us about how the dynamics in the cartel are

77
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: working right now? Are they as solid as they once were? Exactly?

78
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: I think the dynamics are a bit more difficult now

79
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: because the particularly because the u a E has really

80
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: been asserting itself and also asserting its own uh financial interests.

81
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: They want to produce more oil and they see that

82
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: this would be better better for them, and so they

83
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: are asserting uh, you know, their leadership within OPEC and

84
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: from the kind of Saudi perspective, the latest OPEC deal

85
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: was really hard fought and they're not going to want

86
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: to do anything to upset that balance that they've finally

87
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: gotten in the group. Dr Ellen Wall, thank you so

88
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: much for joining us. You are one of our go

89
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: to people here on the global energy market, supply and demand.

90
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: It's a fascinating story. Dr Ellen Walled, President of Transversal Consulting,

91
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: also a senior Fellow at the Atlanta Council and a

92
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: Bloomberg opinion contributor, So she's got her hands full, all right.

93
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: We hear a lot of companies talk about being carbon

94
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: neutral or they will be carbon neutral by a certain

95
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: data talking industries like the energy and industry, the airline industry,

96
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: and it just really makes me wonder, what does it

97
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: really mean to be carbon neutral? Dr Ac Rathi Rocky,

98
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: climate energy reporter for Bloomberg Green UH knows and based

99
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: in London, UH action, give us a sense here, what

100
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: does it mean to be carbon neutral because boy, a

101
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: lot of companies and industries are thrown out about and

102
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: this is our big take story of the day. What do,

103
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: what do? What do you have? So the scientific definition

104
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: is rather straightforward, which is an entity if it emits

105
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: x amount of emissions into the atmosphere, then it needs

106
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: to remove that much amount of emissions from the atmosphere.

107
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: So X minor sex equal to zero. That will give

108
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: you a carbon neutral company, entity, country, what you might

109
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: whatever you might want, and a shot. You're basically talking

110
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: about offsetting your carbon emissions. Yet there's some question as

111
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: to whether or not carbon offsets actually work. Yes, So

112
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: the story that we looked at today is a new

113
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: phenomena in the Island gas industry. And essentially these are

114
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: shipments of either oil or most of the time liquefied

115
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: natural gas. And what companies do is sell them as

116
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: carbon neutral shipment um and the waves do it is

117
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: they calculate the amount of emissions that would be generated

118
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: from the production of the fuel to the burning of

119
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: the fuel, and then they buy offsets from the open

120
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: market at really cheap prices. The price that we courte

121
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: in our story is about three dollars a ton um

122
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: and then they are able to use this label to

123
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: say that the said shipment is carbon neutral. But the

124
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: problem is these offsets, which are really dirt cheap, don't

125
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: actually remove carbon dioxide from the air. They do some

126
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: good things, like in the case of our story, uh,

127
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: these offsets were protecting trees in Zimbabwe, and in the

128
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: process of protecting these trees, they were also helping the

129
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 1: local population branch out and do things that don't require

130
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: more land and yet go economically. But they do not

131
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: remove the carbon dioxide which the liquefied natural gas shipment

132
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: did produce when it was when it was sold and burned. Yeah,

133
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: of shot in your Big Take story. I was fascinated

134
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: by that, you know, the part of the story we

135
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: talked about these villagers were you know, protecting for Just

136
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: tell us about that part of your story there, because

137
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: that was really interesting. So these are a large programs

138
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: that were initially started under the United Nations and stramework.

139
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 1: The goal was to create a market where rich countries

140
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: which produce a lot of the emissions, like the U

141
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: S or Europe, would find ways to reward developing countries

142
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: that to cut their emissions faster, protect forests, and this

143
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: trading system was supposed to exist to enable the transfer

144
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: of money to help developing countries meet their climate goals,

145
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: because you didn't want them to be in the same

146
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: posilus that the rich country used initially to become richer.

147
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: The trouble is that market never got created because of

148
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: squabbling in the United Nations. What ended up happening instead

149
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: was because these projects were being created. Uh, they created

150
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: a voluntary market to sell these credits. And so within

151
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: that the specific project we looked at, it's called the

152
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: Kariba project UM. And what villages do over there is

153
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: UM they protect the forest from being lost. So in

154
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: two thousand Leabin, for example, UM, about half a percent

155
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: of the forest was being lost every year. And when

156
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: these people came through and started funding the projects, that

157
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: rate felt salty about point two. So there's clearly been

158
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: some impact, but it doesn't mean that they are planting

159
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: extract trees and growing the forest and actually called capturing

160
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: the carbon outside. Well, and how do you how is

161
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: this decided you have to plan x many trees to

162
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: offset x amount of carbon? I mean, how do you

163
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: come up with those values? Yes, very good question and

164
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: really tricky because I think about the way carbon travels. Right,

165
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: Liquefied natural gas is being removed from deep underground where

166
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: it's been sitting for millions of years. It's being then

167
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: burned and put into the atmosphere. Trees, at best, they

168
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: can capture the carbon and only keep it for their lifetime.

169
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: The longest tree probably lives a thousand years, like most

170
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: trees die within a few decades, and when they die,

171
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: they degrade and release the carbon dioxide, so you're not

172
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: replacing one to one. The fossil fuel carbon is an

173
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: additional carbon in the system, whereas the tree carbon really

174
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: just recycles in the system UM, and that's just tree.

175
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: There are other solutions you can apply, such as UM

176
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: using minerals, So you take a type of rock which

177
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: can then react with carbon excel in the air and

178
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: then trap that carbonat side forever as zonk rather than

179
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: any other form, and that would be the equivalent of

180
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: UM the fossil fuel. But when it's a nature based

181
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: solution like the trees, the math is really hard to work.

182
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: And that's why experts told us that just buying a

183
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: few dollars worth of credits for your fossil fuels isn't

184
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: going to make them carbon you so act you know,

185
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: Kayley is a very cynical reporter, or so I'm gonna

186
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: ask the question that she's dying to ask, which is basically,

187
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: do carbon offsets really help stop climate change? Or is

188
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: this just kind of a marketing employ And because I

189
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: am a science reporter, I'll have to give you a

190
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: nuanced answers. So the nwanswer is they help, but not

191
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: as much as we think. So when we buy carbon offsets,

192
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: if we're thinking we're buying one ton of carbon, we

193
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: are not really buying one ton of carbon. We are

194
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: buying probably a fraction of that. And so when corporations

195
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: use carbon off sets to balance their carbon books, that

196
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: is actually, in a way a fictitious transaction. That's happening.

197
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: Carbon offsets or protecting forests is an absolutely key climate solution,

198
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: But buying them through the offset market to be able

199
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: to get rid of your carbon since isn't the way

200
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: to do them. Um, what is the way that system

201
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: needs to be created? And there's a lot of work

202
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: going out around that, but the way carbon neutral commodities

203
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: are being sold is definitely not the solution. All right,

204
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: Dr shot Rothy, thanks so much for joining to really

205
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: appreciate it. The climate and Energy reporter for bloombergreen with

206
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: our big Take story of the day. And I'll tell you, folks,

207
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: these big take stories are phenomenal reporting, great graphics, just

208
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: a great read. And we have them every day here

209
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: on Bloomberg. So go to Bloomberg dot com check those out.

210
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: Some great reporting from our good folks at Bloomberg News.

211
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: You know, when the pandemic hit, we saw corporate America,

212
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: the big, big companies kind of rushed at the capital markets,

213
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: the debt markets, the equity markets, to short up the

214
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: balance sheets, to prepare them for an uncertain future. The

215
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: question was and is still how about some of these

216
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: small and mid size businesses, how do they deal with

217
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: the pandemic and the following economic disruption. Well, Christiamo has

218
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: a front row seat there. He's had a commercial banking

219
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: at TD Bank located in New York. Chris, thanks so

220
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: much for joining us. I'd love to get a sense

221
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: of kind of what your clients, your customers were thinking

222
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 1: about in the beginning of the pandemic, how they dealt

223
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: with the pandemic um in terms of you know, staying afloat,

224
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: shoring up their businesses ring up their balance sheets. What

225
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: did you see? Yeah, well, thanks Paul, thanks for having me,

226
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: and uh, I think as you opened it up, you know,

227
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: your spot on small businesses had to deal with this

228
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: very differently than large corporations. You know, as you know,

229
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: small business is the backbone of the economy here in

230
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: the US, and many of these smaller companies don't have

231
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: the resources that large corporations have, and you know, we

232
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: saw that they had to really rely on their banks

233
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: and other accountants and attorneys and those types of vendors

234
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: to help them, whether it was access to capital or

235
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: executing on contingency plans as they dealt with this shutdown.

236
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: And you know, I know, you know with us here

237
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: at TD Bank, that's the role we played, um not

238
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: just with being a top ten player in the Triple

239
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: P program where we distributed over a hundred and thirty

240
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: thousand loans with over twelve billion of capital to those clients,

241
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: but really active as that trusted advisor. We talk a lot,

242
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: especially with some of the large banks, about how consumer

243
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: loan demand growth just hasn't really been there because they

244
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: had so much cash patting their pockets after all the

245
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: fiscal stimulus that isn't I know, necessarily the case for

246
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: some of the small businesses. What has loan demand looked

247
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: like post stimulus, post lockdowns? You know, as we recover well,

248
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: you know, loan demand has been a little bit tepid,

249
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: and there has been a lot of stimulus with the

250
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: Triple P program and other programs for businesses too. I

251
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: would say that there's cautious optimism. Many of the businesses

252
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: that we've surveyed or spoke to believe that they're going

253
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: to expand in the near future. They see revenues going up,

254
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: but that pent up demand. Um, you know, there's some

255
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: headwinds there too. You know, there's a shortage on labor.

256
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: We're seeing rising wages, difficulty for small businesses to hire,

257
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: there's a supply cha disruption right now. And then with

258
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: the current delta variant out there, those are some of

259
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: the unknowns that I would say are the cautious part

260
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: of that optimism. I noted. Yeah, you know it's Chris,

261
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, lunchtimes, I'll walk around Midtown here and you know,

262
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: you see obviously a lot of empty retail stores that

263
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: that were there before the pandemic um and that's heartbreaking.

264
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: But you're also seeing, you know, some signs saying coming soon. Um,

265
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: so some new businesses starting to form. What are you

266
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: seeing in terms of that kind of new business formation

267
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: which I know for a bank is a is a

268
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: source of loan growth. Well, you know your observations are

269
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: accurate because new business formation has increased throughout the pandemic.

270
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: Obviously there was some disruption, but anytime there's disruption, you

271
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: know that that creates you know, both challenges but also opportunities.

272
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of capital on the sideline and

273
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: still and we do see some excess liquidity from the

274
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: stimulus and as people were harvesting cash in preparation, you know,

275
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: during this shutdown. So you know, the entrepreneurial spirit I

276
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: think is still strong and always very resilient. So with

277
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: that disruption, you are going to see new business formations continue.

278
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: Does the delta variant change activity? Have you seen any

279
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: difference over the past couple of weeks as that has

280
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: become you know, a more prominent force in conversation, Yeah,

281
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: I think it will have businesses and entrepreneurs kind of

282
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: pressed the pause button a little bit to see how

283
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: this plays out. Um, there's a lot of obvious unknowns there,

284
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: but there is an effort to deploy the capital that

285
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: they've had through the stimulus and that they saved to

286
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: expand their businesses. But I think they're going to be

287
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: a little bit cautious to see how this plays out. Chris,

288
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: how's the credit quality of your loan book? Look? Here?

289
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been pleasantly surprised that you know the

290
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: number of bankruptcies. Although we did see a number of

291
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: retail ones early in the pandemic, whether it's Brooks, Brothers

292
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: and others, it seems like the government support has kind

293
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: of really been important, played a big part. How's your

294
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: kind of credit quality and your loan book looked? It's

295
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: actually outperformed what we thought that downside from what our

296
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: risk models would say, and I would say when we

297
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 1: talked to clients early on in the pandemic when they

298
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: were doing their projections downside projections, the actual performance has

299
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: outperformed what their downside was, whether they took a more

300
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: conservative approach and appropriately so as did h T D

301
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: and many banks. Um, we are seeing that performance um

302
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: be stronger than we anticipated. All right, Chris, thanks so

303
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: much for joining us. We really appreciate getting your thoughts there,

304
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 1: are getting a good look at small and midsize market

305
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: from a loan perspective. Chris Giammo, head of commercial banking

306
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 1: for TD Bank, President and is having some week in

307
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: the halls of Congress this week. Billion dollar infrastructure bill,

308
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: three point five trillion dollar budget, uh, kind of winding

309
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: its way through the halls of Congress. Let's get an

310
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: update on kind of how we should be positioning these

311
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: legislative wins. Genie shanon Zano, Bloomberg Politics contributor and a

312
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: professor of political science at Iona College, joins us on

313
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: the phone. Genie, it seems like President Biding can take

314
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: a victory lab pretty soon if he chooses to. What

315
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: do you think he did yesterday? We heard him, you know,

316
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: a little bit upstaged a bit by Governor Cuomo. But

317
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: besides that, the White House was able to take a

318
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: little bit of a victory lap. But they were careful

319
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: to say this is just the first step. The passage

320
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: of the biff, the infrastructure bill you mentioned at about

321
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: one trillion and early this morning, after a long marathon

322
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: voter rama, the passage just on a Democratic line of

323
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: the three point five trillion dollar reconciliation bill. Um, those

324
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: two things they want to take in tandem to the

325
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: House and they want to try to move forward. But

326
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: still at this point he can't quite take that victory

327
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: lap he wants to because it could be maybe fall,

328
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: maybe some people even say early winter before these bills

329
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: get to his desk. So still a ways to go. Yeah,

330
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: So Jennie, let's focus on the House because Nancy Pelosi

331
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: might have her work cut out for her here wrangling

332
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: the different sides of the Democratic Party, the progressive specifically,

333
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: what do you expect will happen in the other chamber.

334
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: That is what we are watching, and as you mentioned,

335
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: it's all about Nancy Pelosi keeping these Democrats together. So

336
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: you have the progressive Democrats who are really focused on

337
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: this reconciliation bill, this big soft infrastructure bill, if you will,

338
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: that's what they want to see past. Yet you've got

339
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: the moderates and again all of these people facing re

340
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: election a too. They want to move forward on the

341
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: hardcore infrastructure, that one trillion dollar bill, and Nancy Pelosi

342
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: so far has been very clear she will not move

343
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: one without the other. Some people say she may maneuver

344
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: a little bit on that so far she has not,

345
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: so that is the big task for Nancy Pelosi. She

346
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: only has a three vote margin, so with anybody peels off.

347
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: And just to give you one example, look at the

348
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: debate over the salt. We have some New Jersey, New

349
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: York representatives saying no salt, no deal. Three of those

350
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: people pull off, and it's dead in the water. You

351
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: flip over to the Senate. And already this morning we

352
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: hear Joe Manchin Kristen Cinema saying three point five trillion

353
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,959
Speaker 1: too big for them and their constituents. So this is

354
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: something of a tight rope that it's going to be

355
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: fascinating to watch, but very perilous for both Nancy Pelosi,

356
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, and of course the White House. No salt,

357
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: no deal. For someone who lives in New Jersey, I

358
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: can I can understand that I'm in New York and

359
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: I and to pactly. So, Gene, is this I mean,

360
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: if you step back and you're the White House, how

361
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: big a win would this be? Or is this something?

362
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: Or is there still more to do? I mean, and

363
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering is the White House going to take

364
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: this as all right? We really have some strength here

365
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: and we can maybe get some more things done. How

366
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: do you think the White House is venus whole process?

367
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: They have got to be very, very pleased so far

368
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: with how this have gone has gone, and they should

369
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: be applauded. They have not taken a hands off approach.

370
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: Previous White Houses have tried to do that. Let Congress negotiate,

371
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: not this White House. They have been intimately involved. But

372
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: you know, if they are able to do this, this

373
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: will be the biggest change to social welfare in the

374
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: United States since the nineteen sixties. I will be j

375
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: in the Great Society. This would be a monumental shift.

376
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 1: But again I want to underscore if if both of

377
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: these bills pass in tandem, and again it is a

378
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: perilous path forward, no room to maneuver in the Senate,

379
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: and just three votes in the House. So again, this

380
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: gives any single representative or senator outside voice to say,

381
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: you know what, no salt, no deal, or whatever you

382
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: want to fill in on that blank where the salt is,

383
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: and they can put the brakes on this thing. So

384
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of negotiation going forward. So still and if,

385
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: but if it does indeed all come to fruition, it

386
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: will be a bipartisan win at least for the bipartisan

387
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: package billion dollars of new spending for the president. Well,

388
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: is he likely to get another bipartisan victory or is

389
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: everything else going to be Democrat only from here on out.

390
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: I think it's very, very difficult to imagine that we

391
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: would see him be able to pass, for instance, police reform,

392
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: voting reform, you know, immigration reform, all of these other

393
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: big things he has promised. In the modern presidency, it's

394
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: usually that first year you go big or you go home.

395
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: He's already had COVID if he was able to get

396
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: this huge win for him, But they are going to

397
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: then be face to face with a re election for

398
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: the mid terms, and Republicans feel like they can pick

399
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: up the House and maybe the Senate, so they feel

400
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: the wind at their back on this. Even though nineteen

401
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: voted for this biff, We're gonna see a real fight

402
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: on reconciliation. Let's not forget the deficit, a huge, huge issue,

403
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: and of course the debt ceiling is coming to fruition.

404
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: We are set to run out of money, as you

405
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: both know October November, and Republicans are fighting raising the

406
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: debt ceiling, So they are going to fight because they

407
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 1: don't want to give the president any more winds than this. Again,

408
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: if it passes, all right, Jennie, let's shift from Washington,

409
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: d C. To Albany UH. With Andrew Colmo's resignation yesterday,

410
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: what should we expect from the incoming governor? Kathy Hokel. Well,

411
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: speaking of having your work cut out for you, Kathy Hokel,

412
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: she has been lieutenant governors governor since. For those of

413
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: us in New York, we know of her, but her

414
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: name recognition has been fairly low, So that is something

415
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: she's going to have to deal with. But in terms

416
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: of specific issues, COVID and the delta reopening of schools

417
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: just in a week or so after she takes office,

418
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: we've got an economic recovery that's stagnated. She is an

419
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: upstate person. We've not had a governor from upstate in decades.

420
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: All of the political power, or much of it in

421
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: the state is famously downstate. And then of course you've

422
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: got a whole host of issues from corruption in Albany

423
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: to infrastructure. And of course she if she chooses to run,

424
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 1: is going to be facing a really, really big field

425
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: of potential Democrats and a primary and just a few

426
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: months after she takes office. Well, yeah, let's let's talk

427
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: about that. How has the landscape for that gubernatorial election

428
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: in two shifted. I think it has opened way up.

429
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: Everybody from Letitia James to obviously Kathy Hoko who would

430
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: be the incumbent if she chose to run, to build

431
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: a Blasio, Jimani Williams, Cynthia Nixon. I mean, you could

432
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: go on and on, big, big group of Democrats, and

433
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: New York, like much of the country, on the Democratic

434
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 1: side is fractured. You've got a lot out of energy

435
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: and the progressive left left, as we saw with Cynthia

436
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: Nixon's bid against Governor Cuomo last time around, and you've

437
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: got moderates who rule up state. So that fight is

438
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: going to continue. And Kathy hokel is a moderate to

439
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: conservative Democrat, that is how she has always defined herself.

440
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: So she will have to get the energy of the

441
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: progressive left if she wants to win a primary in

442
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: this state. But she is also a very very good

443
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: campaigner and a great fundraiser, so she's got a lot

444
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: to offer there. And of course we have to say

445
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: the first female Governor of New York. Which is sad

446
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: to say, but in two and thirty years we finally

447
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: got to win, all right. Jennie, thank you so much
