0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 1>reported earning. So far, sevent have had positive earning surprises.

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Live in New York on John Tucker Bloomberg day Break. Okay, John,

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 1>thank you, and the earnings continue to roll in today,

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.040
<v Speaker 1>with thirty companies reporting. Twitter is one of the biggest

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 1>names on the today's list. Let's get a preview from

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:36.200

<v Speaker 1>in late November. Twitter makes most of its revenue from advertising,

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>so key for investors is how the company will navigate

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 1>those new privacy changes from Apple, which require explicit permission

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>from users to target ads on its devices. Bloomberg podcasting

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.880

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and CEO Thomas Gonstein is warning that higher costs for

0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 1>pay and its restructuring will weigh on results all year.

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>We also um included a new form of compensation in

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>terms of our STP strategic delivery Plan, and this was

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 1>very well received by by our employees and Credit Sweez

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.880

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.799
<v Speaker 1>in terms of compensation. Credit swe CEO Thomas Gonstein says

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the company is focused on implementing a new strategy after

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>scandals involving Archigo's capital management in Greensville Capital Now. Shares

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 1>of Uni Leaver are also in focus this morning, Karen.

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 1>They're down more than three percent in London. Company warns

0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 1>the inflation will dent profitability for two years. Unilever says

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>commodity costs arising by more than across the consumer goods industry.

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Speaking at prices, Nathan, We're set for the next reading

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>on inflation here in the US. The Government of Relations

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>that consumer price index for January at eight thirty am.

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Wall Street Time economists forecast reading of seven point two

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>percent a year over year. We get more from Bloomberg

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Economics correspondent Michael McKee January's Consumer Price Index won't lead

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.799
<v Speaker 1>the Fed to any kind of decision, but it will

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 1>offer guidance about what they'll need to do down the road.

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Much of the jump in inflation has come from goods

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 1>rather than services, as Americans, flush with stimulus cash, stayed

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 1>home and bought things instead of experiences. The omicron outbreak

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.039
<v Speaker 1>last month probably kept that trend in place, but we

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.840
<v Speaker 1>did see inventories rising at the end of last year,

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:46.839
<v Speaker 1>which could mean some easing in transportation and bottleneck costs.

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Economists will also check the reopening trade cars, insurance, lodging, airfares,

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:55.679
<v Speaker 1>and food to see if prices are still rising. And finally,

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>housing home prices up seventeen and a half percent through

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>November one, will be feeding into the CPI for some time,

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.679
<v Speaker 1>even if higher interest rates start to slow home sales.

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Michael McKey, Bloomberg Daybreak. Okay, Mike, thanks for also watching

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the Fed. For another reason this morning, history is being

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 1>made at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. More on

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 1>that line from Bloomberg. Grinida Young, Good morning, Granina, Good morning, Nathan.

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>The Boston Fed has named University of Michigan Economists Susan

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:25.239
<v Speaker 1>Collins as its next president. She becomes the first black

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.720
<v Speaker 1>woman to lead one of the Central banks twelve districts

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.680
<v Speaker 1>and will rep replace Eric Rosenren, who stepped down last year.

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 1>The Collins, who earned a doctorate in economics at m

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I T, drew support from many, including former Vice chair

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Alan Blinder. I certainly think she's in the mainstream among economists,

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 1>among liberal left, left of center economists, but certainly not

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 1>far left. I mean, she's really in the mainstream, and

0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:56.839
<v Speaker 1>I think that's basically where the Federal Reserve is these days.

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Former FED Vice chair and current Princeton Universe City professor

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Alan Blinder says Collins has every asset for the job

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and no liabilities. Live in New York. I'm Nita Young

<v Speaker 1>here with Marrom what's going on in New York and

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 1>around the world. Good morning Michael, Good morning Nathan. The

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 1>National Archives is asking the Justice Department to investigate whether

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 1>former President Donald Trump violated federal law and the handling

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 1>of documents then President Trump tore up some of them.

0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:51.760
<v Speaker 1>The Archives also transported fifteen boxes of documents from Mara

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Lago after Trump representatives located them and notify the Archives.

0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Former federal prosecutor Lorie Levinson the referral by the National

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Archive does not mean that there's necessarily going to be

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 1>a criminal investigation of Trump or his advisors. It's simply

0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 1>a suggestion that someone needs to look into what happened here,

0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.760
<v Speaker 1>loyal out law professor Lorie Levinson. The New York Times

0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 1>reports the Inspector General reached out to the Justice Department

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:23.000
<v Speaker 1>after they discovered what's believed to be classified documents that

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Trump took from the White House. New York Governor Kathy

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Hokel says the state will end a COVID nineteen mask

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 1>mandate requiring face coverings in most indoor public settings, but

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>We'll keep masking rules in place for schools for now.

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.839
<v Speaker 1>The state will drop its mask mandate for most businesses.

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Hocals has the numbers support, leaving the question of masks

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 1>to individual localts. We saw those numbers literally off the charts,

0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and now those numbers are coming down, and it is

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 1>time to adapt. L has been saying she wants to

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 1>see vaccination rates for children increase before she gets rid

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 1>of a state requirement for the masks and school rules.

0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.679
<v Speaker 1>Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont proposed a twenty four point two

0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>billion dollar budget for the fiscal years starting July one,

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>boosts spending for state colleges and universities whose enrollment has

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>dropped during the pandemic. LaMotte, in his State of the

<v Speaker 1>at three point seven billion dollar budget deficit, and today

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:28.640
<v Speaker 1>we're deciding what taxes to cut and what school programs

0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 1>to grow. Thanks to our third consecutive budget year of

<v Speaker 1>do better in minority higher and he was asked what

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>that would entail. Everything from looking at the Berney rule

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>and seeing what changes should be made to that, if

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:55.120
<v Speaker 1>any changes, or should it be removed, which some people suggested.

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 1>All of those things are part of that. We're gonna

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.400

<v Speaker 1>twenty countries. I'm Michael Barr, and this is Bloomberg. Nathan alright, Michael, thanks,

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.360
<v Speaker 1>It's eighteen on Wall Street Live from the Bloomberg Interact

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and Broker Studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. I'm Nathan Hagar.

0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:46.360
<v Speaker 1>What's stock. Disney, the world's largest entertainment company, is reporting

0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:50.760
<v Speaker 1>first quarter sales, earnings, and streaming subscriber growth that all

0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 1>beat estimates. After announcing the results, of Disney CEO Bob

0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Chapeck sat down for an interview with Bloomberg ex Emily

0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.280
<v Speaker 1>Chang to discuss the results and the path ahead. Let's

0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 1>listen in to that conversation now. I want to start

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.800
<v Speaker 1>with this month, marking two years with you as CEO,

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Bob Iger has officially ridden away from the happiest place

0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.120
<v Speaker 1>on Earth, and I want to know how you're feeling.

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel like your strategy is clicking and that

0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 1>things are working well? I think, as evidence by our

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.320
<v Speaker 1>most recent quarter, everything's falling into place. You know, we're

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 1>filled with optimism here at Disney. We're at the point

0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.040
<v Speaker 1>where we're just at the start of the last year

0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 1>of our first one hundred and the inflection point for

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the start of the next one hundred. And I think

0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 1>if you look at our parks business, you look at

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:37.240
<v Speaker 1>our media business, all fueled by the great content that

0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 1>our internal storytellers get to tell we're full of optimism.

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 1>We think that we've got a lot of energy and momentum.

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.320
<v Speaker 1>We've got a vision for the future, a vision where

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.880
<v Speaker 1>we're going to appeal directly to our audience, uh, using

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.760
<v Speaker 1>technology and great storytelling, and uh, we really think that

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be a more exciting next one years

0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.840
<v Speaker 1>than even our stellar first one hundred. Heres give us

0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 1>some color on what's driving the burst in subscriber growth

0:15:04.000 --> 0:15:08.960
<v Speaker 1>at Disney Plus compared to the slowdown last quarter. You know,

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.680
<v Speaker 1>we had said for a long time that it's not

0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.160
<v Speaker 1>going to be a linear growth quarter to quarter on

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Disney Plus, that there were going to be some quarters

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 1>a little higher, some quarters a little lower. And it's

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 1>really almost directly a function of what the new content

0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>is that's flowing into the service. And obviously that content

0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 1>was impeded, uh and made a little choppy even more

0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.360
<v Speaker 1>by the fact that you know, we had COVID and

0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 1>it interrupted our production cycles. But as we stated last

0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.320
<v Speaker 1>earnings and the earnings as well, is that that flow

0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.840
<v Speaker 1>becomes a little more steady, a little bit more predictable,

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.000
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more optimal during the second half of

0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.920
<v Speaker 1>this year, and we expect that uh, we're going to

0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:51.720
<v Speaker 1>actually add more substance second half of the year than

0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the first half of the year, so we're very encouraged

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 1>by that. Again, it will still be choppier than a

0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:01.440
<v Speaker 1>perfect linear line, but you know, when you have great

0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 1>storytelling and great brands like we do, uh, it's it's

0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:06.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna draw a lot of people across the globe. So

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 1>we're excited about that. Now, you said it was hard

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 1>to get people to the theater for family movies, and

0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 1>I wonder when you see that changing and what that

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:19.360
<v Speaker 1>means for the next few family titles. Well, we're very

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:22.320
<v Speaker 1>carefully watching the return to theaters. And obviously when you

0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 1>have something like Spider Man that comes out into the

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:28.800
<v Speaker 1>marketplace and it does you know, gamebusters numbers were very

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.320
<v Speaker 1>encouraged about that, you know. So it's called the eighteen

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:36.120
<v Speaker 1>to thirty four uh target uh demo. That seems too

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.080
<v Speaker 1>if you've got the right movie, big blockbuster, great film

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.680
<v Speaker 1>based on a franchise, that's back. We are a little

0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:45.120
<v Speaker 1>more concerned though about the family films and some of

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:48.120
<v Speaker 1>the films that appeal to the over thirty five audience.

0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:52.000
<v Speaker 1>But we're very very lucky in that um uh. We

0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 1>have the ability to take our films to all the

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 1>audiences on Disney Plus, and we're encouraged. We hope that

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 1>the family comes back to theaters, but we believe that

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:06.160
<v Speaker 1>even with a title Likencanto, which as you know, has

0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.640
<v Speaker 1>proved to the world, that we can build a Disney

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:13.639
<v Speaker 1>franchise on on on the back of Disney Plus, because

0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:17.199
<v Speaker 1>our merchandise licensed merchandise spiked as soon as it came

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 1>out on Disney Plus. The music went from I think

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:22.600
<v Speaker 1>it was a hundred ninety seven on the top two

0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred and Billboard to number one for multiple weeks in

0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:27.919
<v Speaker 1>a row. We can build a franchise on Disney Plus.

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:31.480
<v Speaker 1>So we'd love for theatrical to come back for family movies. Uh.

0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.639
<v Speaker 1>We hope it does. But if it doesn't, we we

0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 1>know that we're very secure in being able to use

0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:40.320
<v Speaker 1>our own platform, Disney Plus to help do that. I

0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:43.359
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about parks in more detail. You hit

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.920
<v Speaker 1>some all time records with revenue there, but attendance is

0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.960
<v Speaker 1>still you know, lower or in line depending on the

0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.840
<v Speaker 1>park that you're talking about. What's the outlook ahead as

0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:57.879
<v Speaker 1>oh Macron Wings, are you preparing for new variants? Do

0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 1>you see hitting new records in attendance or is it

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:05.200
<v Speaker 1>all about revenue. We're we're preparing for anything. I think

0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.600
<v Speaker 1>if the last two years have taught us anything is

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:11.800
<v Speaker 1>to remain flexible. But if we have a focus on

0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:15.040
<v Speaker 1>our guest we believe that it's going to uh turn

0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 1>out just just find I think one of the reasons

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:21.960
<v Speaker 1>why we've had such a recovery in demand and attendance

0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:24.359
<v Speaker 1>at our parks is a function of the fact that

0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:28.320
<v Speaker 1>consumers are guests are fans trust us. Not only do

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.720
<v Speaker 1>we deliver great experiences and tell great stories, but they

0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.520
<v Speaker 1>trust us. And we're going to move very slowly when

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:38.280
<v Speaker 1>it comes to attendance increases because we feel that we

0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.080
<v Speaker 1>want to be very, very responsible. And some of the

0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 1>reasons why we don't have max capacity right now is

0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:46.880
<v Speaker 1>that we still haven't turned on all of the live

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 1>entertainment that we've got at the parks. Was as as

0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, is a really big component of a great

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:55.040
<v Speaker 1>Disney experience. But we're moving slow on that because we

0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 1>want to make sure that as you identify people, that

0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.600
<v Speaker 1>our guests feel very comfortable, and we do vas all

0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 1>the time in terms of what our guests feel is

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:06.119
<v Speaker 1>the appropriate density and so we're metering that. But I

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:09.280
<v Speaker 1>must say that the operating performance of parks Uh using

0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.720
<v Speaker 1>that approach has been extraordinary, extraordinarily great. And that was

0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:16.359
<v Speaker 1>Disney CEO Bob cha Peck speaking with Bloomberg's Emily Chang

0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 1>on the heels of first quarter earnings that beat estimates

0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:22.440
<v Speaker 1>on nearly every metric, tough to avoid, the happiest place

0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:25.679
<v Speaker 1>on Earth metaphors for investors. This morning, the shares of

0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Disney and the pre market right now up more than

0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:31.639
<v Speaker 1>seven and a half per cent. As for the broader market,

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:36.119

0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:40.680

0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 1>NASAC futures are lower by forty eight points. Not a

0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:46.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of movement in the bond space right now. The

0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:49.480
<v Speaker 1>tenure is little changed, with the yield one point nine

0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:51.960
<v Speaker 1>three percent, the yield on the two year one point

0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:54.720
<v Speaker 1>three five percent up. Next, we'll have more on the

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:58.080

0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 1>actually add more substance second half of the year than

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the first half of the year, so we're very encouraged

0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:26.760
<v Speaker 1>by that. Again, it'll still be choppier than a perfect

0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:30.240
<v Speaker 1>linear line, but uh, you know, when you have great

0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:33.840

<v Speaker 1>New York and around the world. Good morning, Michael, Good

0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:55.240
<v Speaker 1>morning Nathan. New York Governor Kanthy Hocle lifted statewide requirement

0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:58.359
<v Speaker 1>to wear a mask indoors where show business is proof

0:23:58.359 --> 0:24:02.440
<v Speaker 1>of vaccination. However, Governor Hocle will wait on mask requirements

0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:06.480
<v Speaker 1>for schools until after kids return from February break. We

0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:09.879
<v Speaker 1>are going to make an assessment that first week in March.

0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:13.959
<v Speaker 1>Based on all the metrics, Governor hocal says, the positivity

0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:17.400
<v Speaker 1>rate is down and hospitalizations are down as well. President

0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden has met with the heads of the nation's

0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:24.040
<v Speaker 1>largest power companies with an eye towards climate change. Bloomberg's

0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:26.919
<v Speaker 1>president says, these companies have to be at the forefront

0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:29.119
<v Speaker 1>of the US effort to cut a mission. CEOs know

0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:33.320
<v Speaker 1>exactly why clean energy future matters. It's an incredible opportunity

0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:36.320
<v Speaker 1>for our country and uh and they know how urgent

0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:39.760
<v Speaker 1>is to get this done. And there've been uh, you know,

0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:43.200
<v Speaker 1>they've been key partners throughout this entire process, and Biden

0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:45.520
<v Speaker 1>telling the companies their role will be crucial for the

0:24:45.560 --> 0:24:49.359
<v Speaker 1>future of the country and the globe. In San Francisco,

0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:52.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm at Baxter Bloomberg Gay Break. The National Archives is

0:24:52.240 --> 0:24:55.639
<v Speaker 1>asking the Justice Department to investigate whether former President Donald

0:24:55.680 --> 0:24:58.919
<v Speaker 1>Trump violated federal law and the handling of documents. The

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:02.320
<v Speaker 1>referral was made by how then president Trump dealt with

0:25:02.400 --> 0:25:06.040
<v Speaker 1>the documents. Former federal prosecutor Lourie Levinson says the probe

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:09.439
<v Speaker 1>is not a surprise. He took fifteen boxes to his

0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:13.679
<v Speaker 1>private residence at maral Lago. Some of those had documents

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 1>that definitely should have gone to the National Archives, and

0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:20.480
<v Speaker 1>then he had the habit of ripping up documents. Loyola

<v Speaker 1>Is grieving family announced that he died from head trauma.

0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:34.119
<v Speaker 1>Saget's family said authorities determined that he accidentally hit the

0:25:34.160 --> 0:25:36.720
<v Speaker 1>back of his head on something, thought nothing of it

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:39.679

<v Speaker 1>seven hundred Bloomberg journalists and analysts are working on this

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:46.600
<v Speaker 1>morning around the world. It's five thirty nine on Wall Street.

0:29:46.920 --> 0:29:51.000
<v Speaker 1>The following is an editorial from Bloomberg Opinion. The Republican

0:29:51.080 --> 0:29:54.800
<v Speaker 1>National Committee recently characterized the January sixth attack on the

0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Capitol as an instance of legitimate political discourse. When asked

0:29:59.280 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 1>for his opinion in sentim, Minority leader Mitt McConnell didn't

0:30:02.440 --> 0:30:06.600
<v Speaker 1>mince words. He called January six a violent insurrection for

0:30:06.640 --> 0:30:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.

0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:13.680
<v Speaker 1>By uttering that simple truth, McConnell performed an essential service

0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 1>to his party and the country. He seems to recognize

0:30:17.120 --> 0:30:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the obvious that attempting to rebrand a violent attack as

0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:25.600
<v Speaker 1>legitimate discourse isn't a winning campaign strategy. In two and beyond,

0:30:26.480 --> 0:30:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Republicans have hardly been profiles and courage when it comes

0:30:29.360 --> 0:30:32.840
<v Speaker 1>to standing up to former President Donald Trump, but McConnell

0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:35.760
<v Speaker 1>has consistently spoken at at key moments to protect the

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:40.080
<v Speaker 1>integrity of the democratic process. For that, he deserves the

0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:44.960
<v Speaker 1>support of republicans and the respect of democrats. This editorial

<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Daybreak and Sarah House is with us now, senior

0:33:57.560 --> 0:34:00.720
<v Speaker 1>economist at Wells Fargo. As we await could be another

0:34:00.880 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 1>historically high reading on consumer prices for the month of January. Sarah,

0:34:05.440 --> 0:34:09.560
<v Speaker 1>good morning. We're already near a forty year high on inflation.

0:34:09.719 --> 0:34:12.279
<v Speaker 1>Is there any reason to think that today's number will

0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:15.319
<v Speaker 1>be any different? Well, I think we're going to see

0:34:15.320 --> 0:34:18.319
<v Speaker 1>another big gain in terms of the monthly reading. So

0:34:18.400 --> 0:34:21.399
<v Speaker 1>we're looking for a zero point four percent increase, which

0:34:21.440 --> 0:34:24.040
<v Speaker 1>would push the year over Europe to seven point two percent,

0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:27.360
<v Speaker 1>so even higher than than where we're sitting right now.

0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:29.719
<v Speaker 1>And when I think, when you step back and you

0:34:29.719 --> 0:34:31.439
<v Speaker 1>look at the trend, at least over the past couple

0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:34.239
<v Speaker 1>of months, we are seeing some signs of moderating, but

0:34:34.440 --> 0:34:36.959
<v Speaker 1>even then we're seeing them pushed and continuing to run

0:34:37.040 --> 0:34:40.160
<v Speaker 1>at a pretty high rate. So just because things are

0:34:40.200 --> 0:34:42.960
<v Speaker 1>looking a little bit better doesn't mean they're nowhere near

0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:45.400
<v Speaker 1>good enough for I think what the FET is looking

0:34:45.440 --> 0:34:48.080
<v Speaker 1>for and of course what's going to be more friendly

0:34:48.120 --> 0:34:51.040
<v Speaker 1>to consumers. Where are you seeing those signs of moderation

0:34:51.080 --> 0:34:54.520
<v Speaker 1>and do you think we're close to peak inflation? Well,

0:34:54.600 --> 0:34:56.800
<v Speaker 1>this month at least, I think we'll see some softness

0:34:56.880 --> 0:34:59.240
<v Speaker 1>and energy, and in part just due to the seasonal

0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:02.480
<v Speaker 1>think some of the softness will also be driven by

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:06.400
<v Speaker 1>travel services. As a Macron did weigh on demand in

0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:10.080
<v Speaker 1>that area. But I think when you look ahead, UM,

0:35:10.160 --> 0:35:13.000
<v Speaker 1>we'll probably see monthly games somewhere around zero point three

0:35:13.040 --> 0:35:16.839
<v Speaker 1>to zero point four percent. That's about five percent annualized. Now,

0:35:16.920 --> 0:35:18.719
<v Speaker 1>of course that's a step down from where we are,

0:35:18.719 --> 0:35:20.479
<v Speaker 1>and we think some of that's going to come from

0:35:20.880 --> 0:35:23.759
<v Speaker 1>goods inflation not rising nearly as steep as what we

0:35:23.840 --> 0:35:26.960
<v Speaker 1>saw over over last year. But that doesn't mean that

0:35:27.040 --> 0:35:29.880
<v Speaker 1>this is a benign environment by any means. We should

0:35:29.880 --> 0:35:33.600
<v Speaker 1>still see good good inflation. UM, at least good prices

0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:36.680
<v Speaker 1>continue to rise, So you think some of this is

0:35:36.719 --> 0:35:40.640
<v Speaker 1>still driven by supply chain issues. I wonder whether we

0:35:40.880 --> 0:35:43.840
<v Speaker 1>could start to see any effect from this, uh, this

0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Trucker protest. I wonder if it's too soon to factor

0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:49.560
<v Speaker 1>that in But is there still some of that in

0:35:49.600 --> 0:35:53.359
<v Speaker 1>play here. I think it's probably a little bit soon

0:35:53.560 --> 0:35:56.160
<v Speaker 1>for for the trucker protest, but it's a good reminder

0:35:56.239 --> 0:35:59.480
<v Speaker 1>that we're still running on very thin inventories. Now. The

0:35:59.520 --> 0:36:02.799
<v Speaker 1>inventory picture has stabilized a little bit here recently, if

0:36:02.840 --> 0:36:05.400
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at the retail inventory to sales ratio, or

0:36:05.440 --> 0:36:07.880
<v Speaker 1>just the fact that we were able to actually increase

0:36:07.920 --> 0:36:11.320
<v Speaker 1>inventories for the first time all year in the fourth quarter,

0:36:11.719 --> 0:36:13.920
<v Speaker 1>But there's not a lot of room for air further

0:36:14.040 --> 0:36:17.279
<v Speaker 1>disruptions before you start to see those effects begin to

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:20.759
<v Speaker 1>hit prices again. So while we're looking for a moderating

0:36:20.840 --> 0:36:23.880
<v Speaker 1>rate of goods, inflation is still likely to be strong,

0:36:23.920 --> 0:36:26.160
<v Speaker 1>and there's all sorts of risks that that could change

0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:28.600
<v Speaker 1>that that view, And of course there's still this debate

0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:33.880
<v Speaker 1>going on about whether fiscal policy monetary policy is feeding

0:36:33.880 --> 0:36:36.160
<v Speaker 1>into the price pressures we're seeing as well. Where do

0:36:36.160 --> 0:36:39.480
<v Speaker 1>you stand on that and what effect, if any, could

0:36:39.960 --> 0:36:44.480
<v Speaker 1>a more hawkish fed play on these historic pressures that

0:36:44.520 --> 0:36:47.400
<v Speaker 1>we're seeing. Well, I still think that a lot of

0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:50.759
<v Speaker 1>the inflation that we're seeing is still rooted in the pandemic.

0:36:50.960 --> 0:36:54.000
<v Speaker 1>So the change in the pattern of spending that we

0:36:54.040 --> 0:36:57.440
<v Speaker 1>saw along with the tremendous policy support both on the

0:36:57.440 --> 0:37:01.400
<v Speaker 1>fiscal and in monetary policy side, and that of course

0:37:01.480 --> 0:37:05.239
<v Speaker 1>is fading. So fiscal supports with the end of the

0:37:05.320 --> 0:37:07.719
<v Speaker 1>child tax credit at the end of last year, you know,

0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:10.120
<v Speaker 1>we really don't have much at all coming through the

0:37:10.120 --> 0:37:13.080
<v Speaker 1>pike on that front. That's going to lead real disposable

0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:17.320
<v Speaker 1>income to basically tread water um but essentially until about June,

0:37:17.400 --> 0:37:20.200
<v Speaker 1>so that that factor is fading. And then of course

0:37:20.239 --> 0:37:24.400
<v Speaker 1>you have the title monetary policy, which is likely to

0:37:24.560 --> 0:37:28.120
<v Speaker 1>affect things like mortgage rates and therefore home prices. That's

0:37:28.120 --> 0:37:30.200
<v Speaker 1>going to take a little bit to feed through. But

0:37:30.360 --> 0:37:33.440
<v Speaker 1>these are factors that are leading to this overall slowdown

0:37:33.480 --> 0:37:36.759
<v Speaker 1>that we're looking for. An inflation here. So in the

0:37:36.880 --> 0:37:39.120
<v Speaker 1>last thirty seconds here, how much do you expect the

0:37:39.200 --> 0:37:41.560
<v Speaker 1>CPI print a factor into what the FED the sides

0:37:41.640 --> 0:37:45.480
<v Speaker 1>next month? Are you thinking we could see half percentage

0:37:45.520 --> 0:37:48.560
<v Speaker 1>point great hike next month? Well, this will be a

0:37:48.640 --> 0:37:51.480
<v Speaker 1>key data point. Now we do get one more CPI

0:37:51.600 --> 0:37:54.080
<v Speaker 1>print before the March meeting, so this isn't the end

0:37:54.120 --> 0:37:57.040
<v Speaker 1>all be all, but I think this inflation print, the

0:37:57.080 --> 0:37:59.719
<v Speaker 1>next one and the next job's reading in and what

0:37:59.760 --> 0:38:01.719
<v Speaker 1>we've be there and average early earnings are going to

0:38:01.800 --> 0:38:05.600
<v Speaker 1>be the primary determinants of what the FETs thinking heading

0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:08.279
<v Speaker 1>into that next meeting and whether fifty basis points could

0:38:08.280 --> 0:38:11.040
<v Speaker 1>actually be on the table. More data dependence to come.

0:38:11.160 --> 0:38:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Thanks for the Sarah, Good having you on. Sarah House,

0:38:13.360 --> 0:38:16.800
<v Speaker 1>senior economist at Wells Fargo with us this morning. Karen Nathan,

0:38:16.840 --> 0:38:18.799
<v Speaker 1>it is five three on WALLA Street. Time for the

0:38:18.800 --> 0:38:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Law Report. We get to the legal stories we're

0:38:21.520 --> 0:38:28.360
<v Speaker 1>watching this morning from Bloomberg's Jeff Bellainger. A federal appeals

0:38:28.400 --> 0:38:31.719
<v Speaker 1>court refused to lift an injunction the blocks enforcement of

0:38:31.760 --> 0:38:36.919
<v Speaker 1>the Biden Administration's vaccination requirement for federal workers. Medicare's care

0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:45.680
<v Speaker 1>rates among residents and staff and individual nursing homes. Automated

0:38:45.719 --> 0:38:49.160
<v Speaker 1>collection and unfiled tax return notices are being put on

0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:52.840
<v Speaker 1>hold by the Internal Revenue Service. It's an acknowledgement that

0:38:52.920 --> 0:38:56.759
<v Speaker 1>the agency needs to work through a backlog of unprocessed returns.

0:39:10.880 --> 0:39:13.919
<v Speaker 1>Another legal story we're watching brings us to the election law.

0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:17.560
<v Speaker 1>A divided Supreme Court delta blow to minority of voting

0:39:17.640 --> 0:39:21.319
<v Speaker 1>rights by reinstating an Alabama congressional map that creates only

0:39:21.360 --> 0:39:24.720
<v Speaker 1>one district likely to elect a black representative. A lower

0:39:24.800 --> 0:39:27.800
<v Speaker 1>court had ruled that federal law required a second district

0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:31.399
<v Speaker 1>because of the state's population is black. It's the first

0:39:31.400 --> 0:39:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Supreme Court test for new districts being drawn around the country.

0:39:35.200 --> 0:39:37.640
<v Speaker 1>For more in the decision, Bloomberg's during Grosso speaks to

0:39:37.680 --> 0:39:40.840
<v Speaker 1>elections law expert Rebecca Green, a professor at William and

0:39:40.880 --> 0:39:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Mary Law School. I've seen a lot of headlines that say,

0:39:45.360 --> 0:39:48.320
<v Speaker 1>in one form or another that this is a blow

0:39:48.520 --> 0:39:52.600
<v Speaker 1>to minority voting rights. Do you agree, and if so,

0:39:52.880 --> 0:39:55.640
<v Speaker 1>how much of a blow. Well, if you believe in

0:39:55.920 --> 0:39:59.640
<v Speaker 1>the protections the Voting Rights Act is supposed to afford

0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:04.279
<v Speaker 1>minority voters in redistricting cases, then this is certainly a

0:40:04.320 --> 0:40:09.280
<v Speaker 1>blow because the map that the state of Alabama drew

0:40:10.360 --> 0:40:14.480
<v Speaker 1>is sort of textbook vote dilution. In other words, it

0:40:14.480 --> 0:40:18.880
<v Speaker 1>packs minority voters in one district, and it cracks a

0:40:18.920 --> 0:40:22.800
<v Speaker 1>group of minority voters in half to dilute their strength.

0:40:22.840 --> 0:40:25.879
<v Speaker 1>So it's it's sort of textbook packing and cracking. Um.

0:40:25.880 --> 0:40:28.040
<v Speaker 1>And to the extent that the court's order means that

0:40:28.200 --> 0:40:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the maps will go forward with those diluted districts, then

0:40:33.360 --> 0:40:35.800
<v Speaker 1>you know that certainly will be harmful I repartably to

0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:38.759
<v Speaker 1>minority voters. Um. Like I said, this is sort of

0:40:38.800 --> 0:40:41.359
<v Speaker 1>a textbook violation of Section to at least as far

0:40:41.360 --> 0:40:44.240
<v Speaker 1>as the Court has been concerned. Up until now, there's

0:40:44.280 --> 0:40:48.160
<v Speaker 1>no opinion for the majority. But in a concurring opinion,

0:40:48.480 --> 0:40:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Justice Brett Kavanaugh, joined by Justice Samuel Alito, said that

0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:57.120
<v Speaker 1>this decision was necessary because the lower court had acted

0:40:57.480 --> 0:41:02.040
<v Speaker 1>too soon before coming election. Do you buy that reasoning, Well,

0:41:02.080 --> 0:41:05.080
<v Speaker 1>it's certainly a novel claim. I mean, the Purcell principle,

0:41:05.160 --> 0:41:07.920
<v Speaker 1>as it's known, is just sort of this idea that

0:41:07.960 --> 0:41:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't make changes Federal courts shouldn't make changes um

0:41:12.080 --> 0:41:15.000
<v Speaker 1>right before an election, because it would confuse voters and

0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:18.280
<v Speaker 1>would make it difficult for the election officials to administer

0:41:18.360 --> 0:41:22.279
<v Speaker 1>the election. But neither of those issues are present here

0:41:22.320 --> 0:41:25.000
<v Speaker 1>where we're months and months away from an election and

0:41:25.080 --> 0:41:28.200
<v Speaker 1>where remedial maps could be drawn, you know, basically with

0:41:28.360 --> 0:41:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the snap of a finger. So it's hard to square

0:41:31.840 --> 0:41:35.240
<v Speaker 1>that argument. And it's certainly a very sort of big

0:41:35.360 --> 0:41:38.839
<v Speaker 1>extension of the principle to say, you know, months out

0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:41.279
<v Speaker 1>a federal court can't mess with the state's plan. And

0:41:41.320 --> 0:41:44.839
<v Speaker 1>I think but especially worrisome about it is maybe it's

0:41:44.840 --> 0:41:47.399
<v Speaker 1>going to mean that, you know, line gars dragged their

0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:50.399
<v Speaker 1>feet to pass maps, because if they can get it within,

0:41:50.520 --> 0:41:53.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, many months out from a primary election, then

0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:55.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe they can win on the perspell principle, which just

0:41:56.120 --> 0:41:58.520
<v Speaker 1>is a very bad sort of incentive to to set
