1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News. Good morning, I'm Nathan

2
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're

3
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: following today, Karen.

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: Stocks are coming off their worst week since March of

5
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 2: last year after another disappointing jobs report revived concerns the

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: economy is cooling and the Fed is moving too slowly

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: to rescue it. But speaking with Bloomberg's David Gura over

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: the weekend of the Texas Tribune Festival, Treasury Secretary Janet

9
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: Yellen said she is not yet worried overall.

10
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 3: I would say for the US the kinds of metrics

11
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: that we would monitor that would summarize risks, whether it's

12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: asset valuations or the degree of leverage. Things look good.

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: There are not I don't see red lights flashing.

14
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, speaking with Bloomberg's David Gurra, she

15
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: reiterated her view that the US economy has reached a

16
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: soft landing, even as job growth weekends.

17
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, traders will now be keeping a close eye

18
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: on the next key economic data point. On Wednesday, we

19
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: get the Consumer Price Index report for the month of August,

20
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: and we get more from Bloomberg Market's Live strategist Mary Nicola.

21
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 4: It was almost up until a labor market report that

22
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 4: the CPI was dismissed, that labor market was going to

23
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 4: give us an inclination of what the Fed was going

24
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 4: to do. And of course now that that's not the case,

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 4: really the onus goes back on CPI. If you get

26
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 4: a weaker number, then obviously it could precipitate expectations of

27
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 4: a jumbo rit cut of fifty basis points because of

28
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 4: the fact that it tells you that the FED should

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 4: no longer be concerned about inflation. However, you get an

30
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 4: upside surprise, and then it makes the FED a little

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 4: bit more cautious because of the fact that the inflation

32
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 4: genie is not fully back in the bottle.

33
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Market's Live strategist Mary Nicola says, a day after

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: we get the CPI, investors will get another infla reading

35
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: on Thursday with producer prices.

36
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: For the month of August when Asia karen deflation risk

37
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: is rising in China. We get more on that from

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: Bloomberg Daybreak Asia anchor Brian Curtis and Hong Kong.

39
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 5: China's consumer prices rose less than expected. Last month, it's

40
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 5: more data showing that households are simply not spending. The

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 5: CPI gained six tenths of a percent from a year earlier,

42
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 5: compared to a forecast of seven tenths of a percent.

43
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 5: In the meantime, factory gate price has slid one point

44
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 5: eight percent from a year ago. Economists had expected a

45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 5: drop of one point five percent. Former Central Bank Governor

46
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 5: E Gung has called on policymakers to fight deflationary pressures

47
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 5: and do it right now. In Hong Kong. Brian Curtis,

48
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 5: Bloomberg Radio, All.

49
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: Right, Brian, thank you. Now let's get the latest in

50
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: the presidential race. Kamala Harris and Donald Shrump are getting

51
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: ready for their first and for now only debate tomorrow

52
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: night in Philadelphia, and the race is air tied with

53
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: fifty seven days until the election. The latest New York

54
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: Times Siena College pull has Trump in the lead over

55
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: Harris among registered voters by just one percentage point forty

56
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: eight percent forty seven percent. Nikki Hayley was the last

57
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: Republican to challenge Trump in the primary. She says Harris

58
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: is vulnerable.

59
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 6: Tomorrow night, you look at Kamala Harrison. It's quite remarkable.

60
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 6: She never had a debate, she never had a primary,

61
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 6: she never had anyone vote for her, and they basically

62
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 6: took her and in forty eight hours they put her

63
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 6: back out there and she was this whole new candidate.

64
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: And following the debate, Harris plans to travel to key

65
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: battleground states, including North Carolina on Thursday. That state's Democratic governor,

66
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: Roy Cooper says he knows the race is tied.

67
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 7: There's no question about it.

68
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: It's close here in North Carolina it always is.

69
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 8: This was Biden Harris's closest loss.

70
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty, only one point three percent. Roy Cooper

71
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: and Nikki Haley were both guests on CBS's Face the Nation,

72
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: which can be heard Sundays on Bloomberg Radio. Our coverage

73
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: of the ABC News presidential debate begins tomorrow night at

74
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000

Speaker 1: Balance of Power on Bloomberg Radio and Television.

76
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: In company News, Karen, it is a big day for Apple.

77
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: The company unveils its iPhone sixteen today. While the new

78
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: iPhone line will be the focus of the product launch,

79
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: its slumping wearable device business is poised to get a

80
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: boost as well. For the first time since the end

81
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty two, Apple is unveiling major changes to

82
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: the Apple Watch and air Pod earbuds. All three versions

83
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 2: of the smart watch, the se the Standard series line,

84
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: and the Ultra, will be upgraded, and the two lower

85
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: end air Pods will get the most significant update in

86
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 2: their history.

87
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: Well Nathan Shares a Boeing up three point four percent

88
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: this morning. The planemaker and its largest union say they've

89
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: hammered out a landmark deal to potentially avoid a strike.

90
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: Begin more from Bloomberg's Doun Krisner.

91
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 9: The breakthrough came after a marathon marketing session. The current

92
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 9: contract expires at midnight September twelfth, and a possible strike

93
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 9: is looming. The deal includes a twenty five percent wage

94
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 9: increase over four years, as well as a commitment to

95
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 9: build Boeing's next plane in the Seattle area. There are

96
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 9: sweeteners if workers accept the accord, and immediate eleven percent

97
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 9: pay bump, along with a three thousand dollars bonus to

98
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 9: be paid at the end of the month. Boeing CEO

99
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 9: Kelly Ortberg has pledged to reset long contentious labor relations,

100
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 9: but it's too soon to know if workers will go

101
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 9: along or buck their leadership. In New York, I'm Doug Prisner,

102
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,559
Speaker 9: Bloomberg Radio.

103
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: Thanks Doug. Circle K is trying to keep its takeover

104
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: bid for seven eleven alive. The Canadian owner of Circle K, Kushtard,

105
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 2: has told Japan's Seven and I Holdings it wants to

106
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: work together on a friendly takeover after the Japanese convenience

107
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 2: store operator pushed back on Kushtard's initial proposal. Seven and

108
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: I is the operator of seven to eleven shops. It

109
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: rejected Kushtard's prices too low in front with regulatory risk,

110
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: and made clear that price was the issue, not the

111
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: idea of an acquisition itself. A potential deal would create

112
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 2: a global convenience store behemoth with more than one hundred

113
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 2: thousand stores. It would represent the biggest ever foreign takeover

114
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: of a Japanese company.

115
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 1: And Nathan discount retailer Big Losses found for bankruptcy Big

116
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: Losses among a number of troubled retailers that have been

117
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: hurt by a slowdown in home spending. Collins and LL

118
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: Flooring Holdings also filed bankruptcies in recent months. Time now

119
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: for a look at some of the other stories making

120
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: news in New York and around the world. For that,

121
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: we're joined by Bloomberg's John Tucker, John, Good Morning and

122
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: Good Morning, Karen.

123
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 10: The White House today is taking steps to lower mental

124
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 10: healthcare costs. We get more of this report from Bloomberg's

125
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 10: Jeff Bellinger.

126
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 7: New guidelines seek to ensure that Americans have the same

127
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 7: access to mental health and substance use benefits that they

128
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 7: have two physical health benefits. The proposal seeks to build

129
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 7: on the two thousand and eight Mental Health Parity and

130
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 7: Addiction Equity Act, which required insurance companies to provide the

131
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 7: same access to mental and physical treatment when the bill passed,

132
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 7: it did not require some non federal government health plans,

133
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 7: like those offered to state and local government employees, to

134
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 7: comply with its requirements. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg Radio.

135
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 10: Republican lawmakers accused the Biden administration of lying to Americans

136
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 10: and sacrificing the safety of US soldiers during the twenty

137
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 10: twenty one Afghanistan withdrawal. The accusation comes in a report

138
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 10: that seeks to implicate Vice President Kamala Harris before the election.

139
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 10: Is as President Joe Biden's team misled and in some

140
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 10: instances directly lied to the American people at every stage

141
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 10: of the Afghanistan withdrawal a gun and killed three Israelis

142
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 10: at a terminal on Jordan's border with the Israeli occupied

143
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 10: West Bank on Sunday. It's the first such incident since

144
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 10: the Gods of War began in October. Israel's army sent

Speaker 10: the gunman accused access the allenby Pridge Crossing also known

146

147
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 10: shots before he was killed by Israeli guards. Jerry selection

148
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 10: is set to begin today in the federal trial of

149
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 10: three former Memphis police officers charged with violating the civil

150
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 10: rights of Tyree Nichols. He's the twenty nine year old

151
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 10: man whose fatal beating last year was caught on police cameras,

152
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:19,240

161
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 10: was the first to notice a contestant having trouble breathing.

162
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 10: The Governor performed the Heimlich maneuver before first responders took

163
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 10: over and helped free the stuck piece of lobster.

164
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 11: She went right back to the contest for who would

165
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 11: I couldn't believe he had another seven lobster after that,

166
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 11: right down the gullet.

167

173
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 12: It was the Giants one hundred season opener and one

174
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 12: of their worst. They left the Vikings score in the

175
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 12: first quarter. They game a ninety nine yard drive in

176
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 12: the second. Minnesota scored again early in the third. One later,

181
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 11: Daniel Jones like a book, and that book had a

182
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 11: happy ending seven to six Minnesota.

00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,640

186
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 12: Giants effort, especially in left offensively under one hundred yards

187
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 12: in the first half. Daniel Jones severely outplayed by the

00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 12: Viking Sam Darnold, the x jeed, who completed his first

189
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 12: twelve passes two for touchdown. Jones at his last two

190
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 12: seasons has only two TD passes, eight interceptions, and only

191

Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. Treasury

215
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: Secretary Janet Yellen is reiterating her view that the US

216
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: economy has reached a soft landing per comments followed last

217
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: week's stock sell off in months of soft jobs data.

218
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: In an interview with Bloomberg's David Gura at the Texas

219
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: Tribune Festival in Austin, Yellen also underscored the importance of

220
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: US engagement with China. We now want to bring you

221
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: part of their discussion.

222
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,359
Speaker 3: But when I look at it, the economy broadly speaking,

223
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 3: is very strong growth deep into a recovery. With the

224
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: economy operating it basically at full employment. We're still seeing

225
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 3: three percent growth roughly over the last year, and it

226
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 3: continues consumer spending, investment, spending, solid, inflation coming down substantially,

227
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 3: and I believe headed back to the FIDS two percent goal.

228
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:37,239
Speaker 3: And what I describe as a strong, solid labor market. Clearly,

229
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 3: the pace of job creation has gone down, and that's

230
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 3: something we should expect. The unemployment rate has moved up

231
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 3: somewhat off it's very low level of I think it

232
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 3: got down to three point four percent, but it's not

233
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: common in the United States to have unemployment rates in

234
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 3: the four and it's what I think of is a

235
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 3: employment economy.

236
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 8: You say, many people would call that a soft landing.

237
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 8: So that is the FED being able to get high

238
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 8: inflation under control without triggering a deep downturn or recession.

239
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 3: That's right.

240
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 8: Many people would say that. Do you say that as well?

241
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 8: Do you think that it's Are you fairly confident that

242
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 8: we're going to get done?

243
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 3: I think what we're seeing now is consistent with that.

244
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 3: While there are risks, it really has been amazing to

245
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 3: be able to get inflation down as meaningfully as we have.

246
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 3: And I'd say also, wages are going up at a

247
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 3: decent clip, and real wages adjusted for inflation are rising,

248
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 3: and they well, a lot of especially low income households,

249
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 3: are under stress. Aspects of the cost of living for

250
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 3: them are genuinely challenging, and it's our administration's top priority

251
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: to try to address that. It's still true that wages

252
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: have gone up since before the pandemic in real or

253
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 3: inflation adjusted terms, and continuing to rise at a decent basic.

254
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 8: What is your secret as you think of embracing this

255
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 8: role as a diplomat? What has made you particularly i'll

256
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 8: say particularly good or have the.

257
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 3: Facility for well, well, thank you for the compliment. I've

258
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: seen this sort of diplomatic initiative, both with China and

259
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 3: with other countries as really critical because we need to

260
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 3: work together collaboratively to solve every global problem that we face,

261
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 3: from climate change to Russia's aggression, to issues that we

262
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: have with China. And during the previous administration, I'm sorry

263
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: to say, our alliance is fred and you know, it

264
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 3: was America first, and that should really never be America alone,

265
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: and it was necessary to rebuild alliances to work with

266
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 3: allies around the world. And that's been a broad that's

267
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 3: been a broad effort, and I think we really have succeeded.

268
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 3: And perhaps we'll talk about this, but when Russia attacked Ukraine,

269
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 3: we had an alliance that came together in a matter

270
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: of a day or two to strongly counter what Russia

271
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 3: was doing. We've stayed together and we've worked together to

272
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 3: address and this is broad effort G twenty or larger

273
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 3: to address climate change and problems afflicting poor countries around

274
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 3: the world, to address pandemics, created a pandemic fund knowing

275
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: the properly be another pandemic unfortunately, and we need to

276
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 3: be better prepared than we were for COVID. So on

277
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 3: many different fronts, we've tried to rebuild alliances, and with

278
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: respect to China, relations had really deteriorated during the pandemic

279
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: and we went for a period of close to two

280
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: years without any meaningful senior level contact between US and Chinese,

281
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: and that was really a very dangerous state of affairs.

282
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: President Biden met with President she In Bali. I was

283
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 3: at that meeting, and they agreed that it was important

284
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: to re establish relationships.

285
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: And that was the Secretary of the US Treasury Janet Yellen,

286
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 2: speaking with Bloomberg's David Gera. You can listen to their

290
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 2: us now for more on his conversation with the US

291
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: Treasury Secretary. David, good morning, thanks for being here. Wide

292
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: ranging discussion, but a lot of focus on the Treasury

293
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 2: secretary saying that a soft landing has been achieved even

294
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 2: with job growth slowing. How does she square that circle?

295
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, she said in that bit of tape that you played,

296
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 8: and we had our conversation a day after those jobs

297
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 8: numbers came out. She feels very confident that we're getting

298
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 8: back to a level that would be considered more normal

299
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 8: in regular times. And all the while we did talk

300
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 8: about the trend that we've seen over the course of

301
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 8: the year. So obviously, if you look at the three

302
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 8: month average of what we've seen, it is dramatically lower

303
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 8: in those non farm payrolls than what we had at

304
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 8: the beginning of this year. She acknowledges that I asked

305
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 8: her if there is any chance or if she sees

306
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 8: any risk of us getting a negative print in those

307
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 8: numbers by the end of the year, and she didn't

308
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 8: bite it that question. But she's a labor economist by training,

309
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 8: of course, Nathan, this is her bread and butter. And

310
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 8: in a conversation that we had there on stage and

311
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 8: the day before when I accompanied her on a tour

312
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 8: of a big IRS facility in Austin, right after those

313
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 8: numbers came out, she continued to express confidence in the

314
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 8: health or the strength of the labor market. So she

315
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 8: acknowledges that there are those who are fearful that we're headed,

316
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 8: perhaps to her higher unemployment, but at this point feels

317
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 8: confident that things are indeed going in the right direction.

318
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 2: You have to think that the Treasury Secretary was cognizant

319
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 2: of the selloff happening after those numbers came out, and

320
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 2: perhaps trying to soothe the markets to some extent. Was

321
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: there some of that involved.

322
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 8: Do you think she was projecting calm and she speaks

323
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 8: in a very matter of fact and careful way. You

324
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 8: heard that in that tape as well. Another question that

325
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 8: I asked her over the course of that hour long

326
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 8: conversation is from her vantage, does she see pockets of

327
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 8: risk elsewhere in the financial system? And she brought up

328
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 8: money market funds, which she, under her stewardship of the

329
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 8: Financial of ESSOK, the kind of overarching financial regulation board

330
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 8: has worked to tackle. She talked about cybersecurity, so she

331
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 8: said she saw no flashing red lights when she looks

332
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 8: at the financial system broadly. But I think you're right, Nathan.

333
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 8: I think she was actively trying to assure the markets there.

334
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: Now, although interesting to hear say no flashing lights a

335
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: day after we did see that big sell off, the

336
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 2: worst sell off since the last time we saw flashing

337
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 2: lights in the financial system around the time of the

338
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: regional bank crisis.

339
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 8: We talked about that as well. And there are a

340
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 8: couple of moments over the course of her tenure when

341
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 8: she and her colleagues at Treasury, colleagues around the world

342
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 8: have had to get together and deal with crises. Certainly

343
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 8: the war in Ukraine is one of them. But she

344
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 8: did talk about that kind of compressed moment when we

345
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 8: saw the collapse of First Republic. There was so much

346
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 8: concern about contagion and they had to get together, so

347
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 8: it was safe. I didn't introduce the subject of those

348
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 8: failed banks.

349
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: She did.

350
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 8: It's safe to assume it still feels quite raw for

351
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 8: her and is kind of a signal moment in her career.

352
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 8: I mean, it was so wonderful to have so much

353
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 8: time with her. She I kind of off handedly asked her,

354
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 8: if there's any chance that she remains in office after

355
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 8: January twenty fifth, If you know Kamala Harris would be reelected,

356
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 8: would she stay in the job. She didn't bat that

357
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 8: away entirely, but made it seem like she probably she

358
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 8: probably would be done. But it was a moment to

359
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,719
Speaker 8: both look ahead to what she hopes to accomplish here

360
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 8: in these next few months presumably of her tenure, her

361
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 8: final months of her tenure, but also back on some

362
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 8: of those crisis moments, including what happened with those regional banks.

363
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did want to ask you if it felt

364
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 2: more like an exit interview to speak with Treasury Secretary

365
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: Yellen at this point, or whether she is thinking about

366
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: perhaps staying on a little bit longer. Is she running

367
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 2: through the tape, or is this sort of the end

368
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 2: for her?

369
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 8: She made it seem like she was. I mean, the

370
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 8: interview was an hour and we had two or three

371
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 8: minutes left, and I said, you have this to do.

372
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 8: List what's on and give me a couple of things,

373
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 8: and she gave quite a long answer of things that

374
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 8: she hopes to accomplish. But it gave me more perspective

375
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 8: on just the breadth of that job, what you have

376
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 8: to do when you are the Treasury Secretary. And it's

377
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 8: something that she expressed to me she's had to learn

378
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 8: along the way. She is obviously incredibly accomplished and has

379
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 8: had all of these key jobs, of course, the chief

380
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 8: Economic Advisor to Preston Clinton, Federal Reserve Vice Chair and

381
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 8: chair head of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank, and

382
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 8: now the Treasury secretary, all of these new and novel

383
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 8: she had trained academic economists who has really embraced and

384
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 8: found her way in each of these roles. She did

385
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 8: not make it seem like that she'll be resting on

386
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 8: her laurels and in any sense here in the next

387
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 8: few months.

388
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and certainly I know you're not going to be

389
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 2: resting heading right over to Philadelphia for tomorrow night's first

390
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 2: debate and perhaps only debate between Vice President Harris and

391
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 2: former President Trump. Does this conversation with Secretary Yellen inform

392
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: what you're going to be thinking about as we head

393
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: into this encounter tomorrow, Knight.

394
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, she Janet Yellen stuiously avoids talking about politics, but

395
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 8: did talk a lot about the Biden administration, Biden Harris

396
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 8: administration's economic priorities. And I'm very interested in Nathan and

397
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 8: hearing how much concrete policy comes up over the course

398
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 8: of this debate. But as you point out, this is

399
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 8: on the calendar the only time that these two candidates

400
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 8: are supposed to meet face to face, and quite deliciously,

401
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 8: they've never been in the same room together before, So

402
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 8: there is the drama in theat of that the two

403
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 8: candidates facing each other on stage. But yes, I think

404
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 8: that what I heard from gannet Yellen was a lot

405
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 8: of pride and emphasis in the policies that they have

406
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 8: been able to put in place since the COVID pandemic,

407
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 8: and obviously a sense of urgency as well as she

408
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 8: looks kind of unfinished business, mindful of what would happen

409
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 8: to those initiatives if Vice President Harris loses this election

410
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 8: and former President Trump were to win.
