1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news. Single best idea on

2
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: the night, the evening, the pageantry of the State of

3
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: the Union. We're going to get to Professor Schiller, Wendy Schiller,

4
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: Brown University down the line. This is where we give

5
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: you two thoughts from our show. Today's show is wildly eclectic.

6
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: We talked about ESG and the new ESG, the challenges there,

7
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: to say the least. We had a wonderful discussion on leverage.

8
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,959
Speaker 1: How much leverage do you have into in video? Over

9
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: nine hundred dollars a share. But and again this is

10
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: the do you give you a vignette here into how

11
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: we act? I have no control purposely over the guests

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: we get. I will say to people, you know, all

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: this guests really didn't fit, or that one didn't fit.

14
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: But basically, Bob Bragg and our team put the entire

15
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: show together without talking to me. And what that usually

16
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: means is I get really wonderful surprises. I got a

17
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: wonderful surprise at eight fifty five this morning, we're in

18
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: five minutes. We had Christopher Whalen come on. He has

19
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: the definitive one volume on American financial history Inflated. He

20
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: announced on the show. He's in rewrite out at a

21
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: substantial rewrite, but he's wonderful. On analysis of the banking system,

22
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: we talked about SVB in the spring. I guess a

23
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: year ago. Now we have NYCB in New York really

24
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: troubled the former Treasury secretary coming in yesterday with a

25
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: billion Whalen and I agree that seems like an awful

26
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: small amount of money. But what we really did with

27
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: Chris Whalen is we talked about, Okay, we're here, where

28
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: are we going within the banking system?

29
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: So I think your dad, there were a lot of

30
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: models that grew over the last ten years, really since

31
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight that don't work at and particularly

32
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: the change in the valuation of urban commercial and urban

33
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 2: multi family real estate. It's episodic. You know, I raided

34
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: many of the banks in New York Tom when I

35
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 2: was picked Corole. These portfolios had to see any appreciable

36
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: credit loss in seventy five, one hundred years, and they

37
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: were always fully let. These buildings today we're talking about

38
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: are fully lit the cash flow, but you can't sell them.

39
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: The value has been cutting half.

40
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: There's a window into where we are with the NYCB,

41
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: and what we're talking about there is the marketing concepts

42
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: where SVB was going after for reduced fees, people with

43
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: a lot of money to sit there where they could

44
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: make money on the lead brick of money in their portfolio.

45
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: And NYCB had to do with the vicissitudes of the

46
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: New York City rental market and all that and where

47
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: we go from here. It was really interesting. Chris, there's

48
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: some real vulnerabilities out there. He seems to be dead

49
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: on that. We'll have to follow this very closely into

50
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: next year. And of course we'll do this with Banker,

51
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: and he's coming out. I actually looked already. It's not

52
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: upon us, but out one month. JP Morgan on April twelfth.

53
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: We're out on Apple car Play. We're on YouTube live.

54
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: A lot of confusion there. It's just simple, go to

55
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: YouTube and this is live seven to ten Wall Street time.

56
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: You type in Bloomberg Podcasts and you go there and

57
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: it says surveillance this that, and you can get a

58
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: wonderful live feed of Paul Sweeney, as handsome as he is.

59
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: It is single best idea. Thank you so much for

60
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: tuning in. It's an experiment, it's a work in progress,

61
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: to say the least. We are listening to Chris Wayland

62
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: talking about banking systems, the troubles that are out there

63
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: specifically for NYCB, and the rescue I guess I'll call

64
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: it a rescue in the last twenty four hours. The

65
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: rescue tonight is for President Biden. He has to come

66
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: out with all the politics of his party and of

67
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: this nation and do the pageantry that from our childhood

68
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: we all adore. A little bit of history here George

69
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: Washington had an annual address in seventeen ninety and then

70
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: on you go with all different permutations of a State

71
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: of the Union. It became somewhat codified with FDR and

72
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: radio Harry Truman, I believe was the first televised State

73
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: of the Union that was before my time. Wise guys

74
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: out there, and then on we go to the pageantry

75
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: and then the amazing television football that we have now.

76
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: Of course we'll have complete coverage with Joe Matthew and

77
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: Kaylee Lines with people not the usual back and forth politics,

78
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: but people with some real depth about the pending Biden

79
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: Trump battle. We went for depth, and we do that

80
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: at Brown University with Wendy Schiller, her textbook is definitive

81
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 1: in America as an introduction to high level civics. And

82
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: she was fired up today, Wendy Schiller here on a

83
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: fractious Democratic Party.

84
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 3: I think the Biden missasion made a pretty significant flaw

85
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: in their selling of their legislative program, the Inflation Reduction

86
00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 3: Act infrastructure. They didn't really really tie what they we're

87
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: doing to how it's going to improve people's lives. And

88
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: this is what Democrats do. They go big. They're successful,

89
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: yet a lot of big things passed, and then they

90
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 3: completely fail to selve properly. The Republicans cut taxes, raised deficits,

91
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: and they are the magic party on the economy. This

92
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: has been true for forty years. I mean, I don't

93
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 3: know if there's a magic, you know, magic answer to this,

94
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: but I think right now, telling people the economy is

95
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 3: better than they think it is is not going to work.

96
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 3: Showing people how the government has helped them in the

97
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: face of a bad economy a couple of years ago.

98
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: May one, Wendy Schiller, consultant to the Democratic Party. She

99
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: said in the early nineteen eighties, and they said, Okay,

100
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: that's enough of that. But her enthusiasm is really infectious.

101
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: It's just like whatever your political persuasion, every time she

102
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: is with us, the professor from around university makes us

103
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: smarter about the political process. The goal of single best

104
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: idea is not to make you smarter. I'm not going

105
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: to do that for you. The goal is to take

106
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: the treasured conversations we have an economics, finance investment on

107
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: international relations and give you two little vignettes into what

108
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: we've done today. An Apple CarPlay and YouTube lige on

109
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: Bloomberg surveillance
