1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: Ye, Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane 2 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: Jai Ley. We bring you insight from the best in economics, finance, investment, 3 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: and international relations. Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, 4 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: Bloomberg dot Com, and of course on the Bloomberg Let 5 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: us step back from the usual Fed day chat. We 6 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: can do that with Peter Hooper with Deutsche Bank, with 7 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: his wonderful experience in international economics and of course central 8 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: bank watching as well. You mentioned earlier this morning, Dr Hooper, 9 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 1: the dots, You and I would not have talked about 10 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: the dots X number of years ago. Arthur Burns didn't 11 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: have dots. Chairman Greenspan didn't have dots. Chair yelling has dot. 12 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: Do you assume that any central bank by definition reacts 13 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: after the fact that there can be dots, dots, dots, dots, 14 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: None of it matters because they have to wait and 15 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: be what the Latins called ex post well the dots. Uh. 16 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: This is in a in a long train of increasing transparent, 17 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: the transparency, the FED letting it, letting the market know, 18 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: letting the public know what their expectations are where they 19 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: expect to be. So it's an exercise. I get exercise. 20 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: But do they have to wait in the ex post? 21 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: Is Mr Timberlake of Georgia and frankly, as Anna Schwartz 22 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: and others have written about the meltzer, they have to 23 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: react after the fact, right, Well, they react to incoming data, 24 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: no question. But at any point in time, they have 25 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: an expectation about what's what, what's what's going forward? UM? 26 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: I think you know, Um, there's been a lot happening recently, 27 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: the shift in the fiscal policy, the shift in the 28 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: shift towards somewhat higher inflation. UM. So the you know 29 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: likelihood is we're going to see some some movement here 30 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: in reaction to what's been going on. Um. But uh, 31 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: Now when I say some movement, I say we'll see 32 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: some of the dots move up to get the median 33 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: dot there right now, what the chart looks like, there 34 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: are six uh partisans, there are six dots. There are 35 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: six dots clustered around, clustered around three and three rate 36 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: hikes next year. Uh. Four of those would have to 37 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: move up to get the media to move Okay, because 38 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: there are five above and there are quite a bit 39 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: more below. So uh, at this point it's a close call. 40 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 1: I don't think we have quite enough momentum to get there. 41 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: I don't think the Committee is going to want to 42 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: maybe tie j Pale's hands quite so directly yet, but 43 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: that'll be something that if, if indeed the data over 44 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 1: the next three months continue to improve, they have a 45 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: luxury of shifting in March, raising rates in March and 46 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: saying we expect to do three more this year. Peter, 47 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: let's react to the headline, shall we opec boost in 48 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: the forecast for rival supply? They don't see a balance 49 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: until late. I want to fold in what's happening in 50 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: the commodity market into the FED debate, because in many ways, 51 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: the rollover and crude is what's set off a big 52 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: step back for many central banks around the world, for 53 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: the FED not be able to increase interest rates in 54 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: the way they would like to, and for the ECB 55 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: to go crazy and start doing some incredible things with 56 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: its balance sheet. The commodity story is now more supportive 57 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: of higher inflation, at least for now and potentially in 58 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: the future as well. Is that something they've got to 59 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: deal with next year? That that that is a factor? Uh? Now, 60 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: I will say that you know, the rig count in 61 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: the US has been rising, and the expectation is maybe 62 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: we're tapping on oil praises, the good good level off 63 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: maybe so often just a little bit. So there's not 64 00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 1: a there's not a strong commodity boom driving this. It 65 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: is a factor. It's contributing. But I think more important 66 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: for the FED is what's happening to the core uh 67 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: that is what they see as having more sustainability going forward. 68 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the core of the economy. GDPs running 69 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: at three unemployments down in the force. They're going into 70 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: next year. We're looking at the dots. We look at 71 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: the dots because we want to see where the market 72 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: is relative to where the FED thinks rates will be 73 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: next year. And there's still a spread, How is that 74 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: spread going to reconcile with the market up to the 75 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: dots sort of dots down to the market. I think 76 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: after a long after many years of FED coming down 77 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: to the market, I think we're shifting now. The market 78 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: is now coming back up to the FED, and I 79 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: think that will continue. What's what's changed over the last 80 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: five years is we've had the unemployment rate go from 81 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: double digits down to almost four percent. Yeah, and that 82 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: that process has not has not ended. Uh the economy 83 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: growing at two and a half three percent. Supply side 84 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: of the economy continues grow at well less than two 85 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: right now, so the momentum in the labor market has 86 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 1: not ended. You're going to see the unemployment rate drop further. 87 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: We think it's going into the mid threes by by 88 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: the end of next year. Uh FO MC projection consensus 89 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: of economists set leveling off at four. So we think 90 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: the risk is further tightening and that is going to 91 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: Our own forecast is for four rate heights next year. 92 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: And that's that's a very important part of the reason. 93 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 1: Peter Hoopa, Deutsche Bank chief economists see for me, Tom, 94 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: it's crucial. It's what's changed this year, and it's the 95 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: FED lead in the market, not the market leading the Fed. 96 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: And it sets us up quite nicely for next year, 97 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: in which most people I've spoken to Tom, and I 98 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: don't know about you think exactly the same thing is 99 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: gonna happenen and repeat it seen where the market has 100 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: to catch up with the Fed and not vice versa. Yeah, 101 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 1: I would say that's certainly the same guys. Do you 102 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: almost see it in the dots. But I would look 103 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: at the economic data coming in and again I go 104 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 1: to the Honeywell single headline today of seven to eight 105 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: percent organic revenue growth. That's a headline was basically unimaginable 106 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: in two thousand seventeen. As they look out next year, 107 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: Mr Kote and Honeywell, we'll do some work on that 108 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: in surveillance in the coming days with our great Bloomberg 109 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: Intelligence industrial team as well. Peter Hooper, thank you so 110 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: much for briefing us this morning. He is with Deutsche Bank. 111 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: We continue with Anthony Skermouchi, former White House Communications director, 112 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: founder of Skybridge Capital, and as well. One of the 113 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: great untold stories of Republican politics is Dinner Powell. She 114 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: came out of Texas. She came off a boat, off 115 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: the proverbial plane, not speaking English, from Egypt. Her parents 116 00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: ran a convenience store. She's one of the huge six 117 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: tenses for women in the Republican Party. The reports are 118 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: that Ms Powell will exit the White House. You exited 119 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: under a lot different uh terms, etcetera. If you will, 120 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: how alone is this president going to be after the 121 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: one year exit that's assumed, Maybe Tillerson definitely Powell and others. 122 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: Is there a bench to replace the first go around 123 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: of the Trump administration. Yeah. Not only is there a bench, 124 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: I think there's an unlimited supply of people that would 125 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: want to work for the president. So to me, Uh, 126 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: let's talk about Dina for a second. She's an amazing person. 127 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: She's very, very gifted. I think she's been super instrumental 128 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: on the blueprint of the peace Plan that I think 129 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: would be unveiled probably in the first or second quarter 130 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: of next year. Uh. Brilliant person. She's got a great 131 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: touch with people on presidents very close to her. I 132 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: want you to respond to the comment made every day, 133 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: which is there's a set of people by generals around 134 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: the president that people feel are they're doing a public service? 135 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: You were in the trenches of this General Maddis, General Kelly, 136 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: General McMaster and others, maybe even Mr Tillison. Are they 137 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: there for the president or are they there because they 138 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: have a duty bound to the Republican party in the 139 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: nation to assist this unique president. Well, listen, I I 140 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: think they're there for the president. At the end of 141 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: the day, he hired them, so uh, I think he 142 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: has a lot of respect for for all three of them. 143 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: I'm closer to General McMaster than I am too General Maddis. Obviously, 144 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: I didn't know General Kelly. My joke was, if I 145 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: had known General Kelly, maybe he would give me a 146 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 1: bar so and told me to go wash my mouth out. Uh. 147 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: And my guesses I would have gotten along with General Kelly. 148 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: But but I think they're both, or all three of 149 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: them are distinguished patriotic Americans. I think it's unfair to 150 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: characterize them the way people do characterize them. Well, they're 151 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: doing a public service and uh, and the president's controversial 152 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: and they're there to kind of rein him in. I 153 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: really don't believe any of that stuff. I was there, 154 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: although I was there for a short period of time. 155 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: The president spent his own person, his own boss, if 156 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: you will, for forty five plus years. Uh, and that's 157 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: not gonna change anytime soon. Did you get a pension? 158 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: That was a joke. If I stayed another two thousand, 159 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: five hundred and sixty days, maybe I would have gotten one. 160 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: You know, Steve Bannon, I didn't take any pay either, 161 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: by the way, You know Steve Bannon, for many people, 162 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: he got his wings clipped yesterday. Yeah, what is the 163 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 1: future Steve Bannon as far as you consent, well, listen, 164 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't count Steve Bannon out. Uh. He definitely lost 165 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: yesterday with Steve Bannon is a warrior, and Steve Bannon 166 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: that's a battle, that's not the war. Um, he's not 167 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,479 Speaker 1: my cup of tea. Politically, I disagree with him ideologically 168 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: on a lot of things, and there are certain things 169 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: that I actually agree with them ideologically. But the whole 170 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: notion of whole Roy Moore thing, he's going to have 171 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: to own that. Uh, and at some point, hopefully he'll 172 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: have to explain that the people why he went in 173 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: that direction so aggressive? Can you draw a distinction between 174 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 1: his ideology and theology of President Donald Trump has a 175 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: very big difference through that. So the very big difference. 176 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,239 Speaker 1: First of all, the president's his own man. The nonsense 177 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: that Steve Bannon won that election for President Donald J. 178 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: Trump is absolute nonsense. The President won the election himself. Uh. 179 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: Steve got into the race in August after he'd already 180 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: beaten seventeen uh presidential candidates on the Republican side. Um, 181 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: you know, they're very very different people. Our global audience. 182 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: President is way more inclusive of a guy he's less 183 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: quote unquote this white nationalist nonsense. Tell us about the 184 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: home you grew up in on Long Island, A hey, 185 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: listen was it was a It was a great home. 186 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: I grew up in a small, uh, single family home 187 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: in Port Washington in a blue our middle class area. 188 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: My parents didn't go to college. I wanted to set 189 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: that up. Can the Democratic Party get back to those people? 190 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: Or the progressives of the opposing party given up Port Washington? Well, 191 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: that area of Port Washington, I think they've lost for 192 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: quite some time, you know, But let's talk more broadly 193 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: about Wisconsin. Yeah, let's probably have Middle America. I think 194 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: that the common struggle that working class people have, uh 195 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: face with declining wages and face with declining real living standards. 196 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 1: I think the Democratic Party has actually disconnected from those people. Uh. 197 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: It may be specific candidates like Secretary Clinton that disconnected. 198 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: Maybe more broadly, there'll be a presidential candidate that can 199 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: plug back into that. But you and I have been 200 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: around long enough to know that politics isn't always in 201 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: a state of flux. You get the right candidate with 202 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: the right message and the right level of charisma, they'll 203 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: attract those people again, are you to do your Salt conference? Yeah, 204 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: it's not that's not stating local text. So so I 205 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: will happen in May. Um we're working on on the 206 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: Bent venue, will be announcing that in mid January. And 207 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: it's our tenth anniversary this year, so I'm I'm super 208 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: excited to get the programming out there. Hopefully I can 209 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: get you out there, Tom, Well, we'll see you meet 210 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: the height requirement to come to Salt very good. And 211 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: it's not stay in local taxes. It's the conference on 212 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: the alternative investment space Anthony Scaram, which you think is 213 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: White House Communications director, founder Skybridge Capital as well. We're 214 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: not drag in a gentleman whose notes are terse, sharp 215 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 1: and to the point, and that has made them of 216 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: great value. And the huge tumult of the last call 217 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: it ten business days and political days as well, Mr 218 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: Greg val Greg in your morning note, you have a 219 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: wonderful set of issues and one of them that is 220 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: just so important is how the text bill gets done 221 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: after Alabama? How does Alabama shift the back and forth 222 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: debate going on right now in Washington. Well, it's a 223 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,200 Speaker 1: real wake up call, Tom. I think the conferees know 224 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: that they got to get this thing done quickly. If 225 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: if things stall and we have the Doug Jones seated 226 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: on the second or third in January, you're looking at 227 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: a very very tense vote with maybe Sissan Collins or 228 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: Bob Corker defective. So they got to get this thing 229 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: done in the next week or so. You mentioned those names, 230 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: and you also mentioned Mr Rubio of Florida. Their power 231 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: is enhanced this morning, isn't it. Yes, it is that 232 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: that one vote is so crucial, uh now because we 233 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: go to fifty nine. So you're absolutely right. It makes 234 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell's life a more complicated and it certainly shows 235 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: that the president's political capital has been diminished. Greg, how 236 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: does it change things for next year? I think it's 237 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: going to be hard to get anything done, whether it's 238 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: entitlement reform, infrastructure, Obamacare, you name it. I think that 239 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: you're going to have a hard time getting much through Congress. 240 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: We always connect things back to the markets here on 241 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: bloom Buk Savanna's and back to the economy, and it 242 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: seems to me that beyond tax overhaul, what's in doubt 243 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: in terms of what could have boosted the economy because 244 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: for most people they weren't expected much from anyway. Well, 245 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: I think that's right. I think infrastructure is unlikely. I 246 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: think what's in doubt, beyond any question is Robert Mueller. 247 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: That story gets hotter over the next few months. I 248 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: think more indictments are to come. I think that if 249 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: Trump's family get indicted, Donald Trump Jr. Or Jared Kushner, 250 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: Trump will be very tempted to fire Mueller. When's the 251 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: bye time? First quarter, next year, second half? What are 252 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: we looking at? I think by the end of the 253 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: first quarter, Mueller will be the dominant story in the 254 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: city by far. I'm gonna rip up the script here, Greg, 255 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: this is so important it's almost unimaginable. If we were 256 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: to see the Special Council fired, give us the Watergate 257 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: perils in that the majority party, am I right? Must 258 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: respond I think so, and Tom. You know, one of 259 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: the impacts of last night in Alabama is that Trump 260 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: is now an albatross for most Republicans. So once they 261 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: get this tax bill done, and it will get done 262 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: in the next week or two, once that's they're gonna 263 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna bolt from him. They're gonna bail Once okay, 264 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: but not to pin you down. I'm reading Cass Sunstein's 265 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: spectacular monograph Impeachment, where he does not mention President Trump. 266 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: Are you suggesting that the Special Council firing of Mr 267 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: Mueller would be a high crime in this demeter within 268 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: the traditional mandate of impeachment? It would lead to a 269 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: constitutional crisis. And I'm old enough to remember what happened 270 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: with Watergate when Republic went to Nixon and said, you know, 271 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: the game is exactly I'm not sure we're there yet. 272 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: With Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, I think they would 273 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: need to see something far more provocative. I argue that 274 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: by the end of the first quarter a provocation will occur. 275 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: I I look at this, John Farrell, it's just extraordinary 276 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: to you know, this is really the first time in 277 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: the show we've really begun to consider something as draconian 278 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: especial and it will so so far tom so far. 279 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: What has happened Every time these headlines have dropped and 280 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: things have seemed to escalated, the market jos lower, then 281 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: it gaps higher again. And I'm just wondering, if you 282 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: get to the point where the Special Counsel is fired 283 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: by the President, whether markets react in a more sustainable 284 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: way where we gap lower and we stay there and 285 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: we don't erase those losses because of the amount of uncertainty, 286 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: or whether it changes anything at all. Tom Well, I 287 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: don't know. Greg Villier, very quickly. Here do you see 288 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: the markets linked to anything that would happen with Special 289 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: Council Mueller? You know the fundamentals are so good. Thank 290 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: you Janny Yellen of great farewell, so she'll have today. 291 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: I think the key for the market says, could you 292 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: get sixty seven votes in the Senate to convict I 293 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: say no, Greg villa thank you so much. RUFC briefing here. 294 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 1: If you're not a global Wall Street but you're a 295 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: curious investor, here beginneth the clinic with us. Dennis Gartman, 296 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this all morning. We spent hours 297 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: with garment. Most of it was unsuccessful. This will be successful. 298 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: Dennis Gartman on the futures market. When did you first 299 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,199 Speaker 1: walk into a futures pit? I bought my seat on 300 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 1: the Chicago Boarder Trade. I think it was you had 301 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: the coat in the little badges. Did you do the 302 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: hand thing like? Absolutely? And I cleared through Virginia Trading Company, 303 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: and you had to actually prove that you to a 304 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: Southern school to be able to be allowed to clear 305 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: through Virginia. We wore what looked like blue blazers. We 306 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: always had white shirts on. We always had our tie on, 307 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: and we were the Southern boys on the exchange. The 308 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: days are gone, but it's still the wild wild West 309 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: of bitcoin exchanges. When you see cbo E, you see 310 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: CM into the action, you're you're beyond. You look grizzled today. 311 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: By the way, you're a grizzled pro. What's your response 312 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: to the futures boys jumping into bitcoin? It's probably gonna 313 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: moderate prices more than anything. For the first time, You're 314 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: actually gonna have a market and avenue where people can 315 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: get short of bitcoin. And it is long. You haven't 316 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: been able to do that thus far, and it and 317 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: it takes shorts to keep a market from going higher. 318 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: It takes shorts and longs to keep a market moderated. 319 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: And I think this is it. It brings convention, it 320 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: brings solemnity to the to the trading arena. You write 321 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: a Midwestern, Southern authenticity to your note, and it's about 322 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: tangible commodities. Yes, not eveny futures. Blah blah blah. It's 323 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: about wheat, it's about horne. Bitcoin is none of the 324 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: value propositions of a tangible. That's the problem. I'm not 325 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: sure whether it's a currency. I'm not sure whether it's 326 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: an asset. I'm not sure whether it's a commodity. I'm 327 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: not sure what bitcoin is. Maybe I'm too old, maybe 328 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: it's maybe it's modern technology gone past me. But I 329 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: wish everybody well who trades it. It will It will 330 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: probably be traded for years into the future, and likely 331 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: without me. But it is something that can be sold. 332 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: There's a market for it. There are thirteen year olds 333 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: out there that you just told me, are clamoring for bitcoin. 334 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: Explain what you heard. I was watching television the other 335 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: day and somebody was interviewing I'm not sure which TV 336 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: station it was on, but they were interviewing a thirteen 337 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: year old who had owned a bitcoin and was telling 338 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: people how much money he had made. They were listening 339 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: to him as if he was a grizzled old veteran 340 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: on Wall Street. And he said, you buy bitcoin. If 341 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: it falls, you buy more bitcoin, and if it falls, 342 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: you buy even more Bitcoin pros would say, that's the 343 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: sign of a disaster about to happen. You don't keep 344 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: buying something that's going down. And that's also in contradiction 345 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: to your description of what makes a great trader, like 346 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: a gentleman, Jack Nash, I believe explain what makes a 347 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: great trader. The ability to take a loss, that's what 348 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: That's what makes a great trader. The ability to say, 349 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: this has moved against me. Somebody knows something I don't know. 350 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: It's not doing what I wanted to do. And what 351 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: makes a truly great trader is the ability to say 352 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: I'm out, I'm wrong, but then watching whatever you were 353 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 1: trading move the way you thought it would and come 354 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: back and pay a hire to get it back. But 355 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: on a log hyperbolic definitely arithmetic hyperbolic chart like bitcoin. 356 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: When do you get to a normal market where people 357 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: enjoy those emotions of oops, I was wrong. Nobody feels that, dude, 358 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: Nobody feels out right now. Everybody who owns bitcoin feels 359 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: like they have been like they are a genius. There 360 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: in my mind, they have simply been lucky. Well, we'll see, 361 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: time shall tell. Can bitcoin? Can bitcoin become a true 362 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: viable market. Yes, it can do I think it shall. No, 363 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: I don't then, so I wanted your thoughts on oil. 364 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: Right now. We have the two events in the last 365 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: couple of days, the shutdown of a pipeline in Scotland 366 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,400 Speaker 1: which looks like it was going to be shut down 367 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: for six weeks and may only be shut down for 368 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: two or three correct, And then you also have the 369 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: explosion at the input processing facility outside of Vienna that 370 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: supplies UH natural gas to UH Italy. What is your 371 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: thoughts about investing in oil? Well, this morning, for the 372 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: first time in a quite a period of time, I'm 373 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: actually going I'm recommending being short of crude oil, and 374 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: as I call it, I'm only putting on a single unit. 375 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: I'm just starting the trade. I won't add to it 376 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: unless it's profitable. But I'm doing that because one the 377 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: term structure has begun to change a little bit. The 378 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: front months are losing to the to the back months. 379 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: The backwardation, as we call it, without becoming too esoteric, 380 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: is turning somewhat bearish. Chart technicals are turning a little 381 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: bit barish. Some trend lines are starting to be broken, 382 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: and the fact that you didn't rally as much as 383 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: one would have imagined given the pipeline, the forties pipeline 384 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: from the North Sea into Scotland. UH didn't send crude 385 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: oil up to and three dollars, send it up for 386 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: a buck and a half and then quickly gave it back. 387 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: Tells me that the good news is probably in plus. Finally, 388 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: there's an awful lot of crude oil out there that 389 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: has been drilled and has been uncovered that that will 390 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: be opened up very soon. Anything about fifty seven dollars 391 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: in w t I is enormously profitable. So this means that, 392 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 1: for example, the shale produces, they just turned the on switch. 393 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: That's basically, they just turn the on switch. They've already 394 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: drilled many of these wells, they just have kept them capped. 395 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: Those can come online very very quickly, in a matter 396 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: of two or three days. What do you see? We 397 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: make jokes about red wheat, when are we But what 398 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: do you see in the grains right now? Is there 399 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: an opportunity there? It's still a bear market, isn't it. 400 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: We We continue, We've grown a big crop of wheat, 401 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: and the and the wheat market keeps making new lows. 402 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: You don't want to buy something that's making new lows. 403 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 1: Pros would sell something that makes a new low. The 404 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: corn market looks like it wants to make new lows. 405 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: The only market that is turning higher seems to be soybeans. 406 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,120 Speaker 1: And as I've said in my newsletter for weeks, it's 407 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: interesting that soybean mean you don't I learned long ago 408 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: on the border trade. You don't become bullish of soybeans 409 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: unless it's led by the meal market. And meal has 410 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: begun to gain upon soy oil, and that's an incipient 411 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: bullish common circumstance. Finally, and this will really go out 412 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: of the way. I watched the out market. Gentlemen do 413 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: not trade oats. Gentlemen watch outs. And the oat market 414 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: has always been the Canarian the in the coal mine 415 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: of grains, and and oats have been under pressure. So oats, 416 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: I've never had this conversation. Oats are hedged by the 417 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: major food companies. Yeah, sure, the cons of the world. Yeah, 418 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: the quaker ches. Don't they play speculators like a bunch 419 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: of buffoons the margin? I mean, aren't these guys just 420 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: like looking at the speculation and on balance, you you 421 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: want to take a look at the cftc S figures, 422 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: and you always you tend on balance, not always, not 423 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: every time, on balance. If if the hedges are short, 424 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: you'd want to be short. If the hedges are long, 425 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: you want to be long. Do you suggest options for 426 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 1: the individuals that want to get enough? Actually no, I 427 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: I don't because the time value of the options seems 428 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: to deteriorate against it kills you. Kiss. Yeah, do you 429 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: like that word cytosis in there? As well as skewardness 430 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: and other groups? Hoping you get there? You want to 431 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: play in the if you're gonna play play, I think 432 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: if you're gonna play, you want to play absolutely if 433 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: you gott if you if you want to take a 434 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: position in grain, I think you want to take a 435 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: position in the grain futures themselves. It's a. It's a. 436 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: It's a very good market. We're gonna get set for 437 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: the set for the fed UH meeting here Michael mckeys 438 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: in Washington. He'll join us here in a bit, Dennis 439 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: Garment and will stand by UH in wax philosophical.
