Ethan Bronner is Bloomberg News Israel bureau Cheap 11 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 3: and he joins US now. Over here in the US, 12 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,279 Speaker 3: we're trying to understand what the US position is when 13 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 3: it comes to President Trump and what's happening in the 14 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 3: Middle East. Where are we where you are in terms 15 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 3: of what Israel is doing and what its end goal is. 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 4: I say that the confusion over what the United States 17 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 4: is going to do is equal here as it is there. 18 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 4: Israel has set up this plan to try to take 19 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 4: down the Iranian nuclear facilities as well as its ballistic 20 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 4: missile capacity and its militia ability beyond its borders around Israel. 21 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 4: So it's launched this plan. It says it can do 22 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 4: it alone. It would love the United States to help out, 23 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 4: in particular because there's one huge enrichment facility four DOH, 24 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 4: which is deep in a mountain that would be best 25 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 4: got in if you wanted to destroy it with thirty 26 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 4: thousand pound bunker busters that only the United States has, 27 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 4: that only its B two planes can lift. 28 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 5: They're so heavy. 29 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 4: So right now we're also we're all waiting to see 30 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 4: might the US decide to join or might this moment 31 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 4: be one where the Iranians decide to negotiate a degree 32 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 4: not to enrich uranium Ethan. 33 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 5: It just seems to me, at least that Israel as 34 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 5: related to Iran, sees maybe a very rare opportunity to 35 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 5: really deal almost kind of a death blow to them 36 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 5: at or at least as a threat maybe even to their government. 37 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 5: Is that the feeling in Israel that this is maybe 38 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 5: a special moment of special opportunity for Israel. 39 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 4: It's one hundred percent of the feeling in Israel, Paul. 40 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 4: The thing is that, you know, it's one thing to 41 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 4: say this is a rare moment to go after to 42 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 4: defange this regime and take away its ability to be 43 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 4: so destructive. It's another thing to say that therefore it's 44 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 4: possible to overturn this regime. Look, it might be. It 45 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 4: certainly would make them very happy in this country. But 46 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 4: remember the Iran Iraq War went on for eight years 47 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 4: and the regime in Iran put up with an enormous 48 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 4: amount of suffering and it is still there forty years later. 49 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 4: So it's a little bit of an you know, it 50 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 4: could be an illusion to think that, just like in theory, 51 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 4: by taking out being so painful in Gaza, that Hamas 52 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 4: would yield. Hamas hasn't yielded yet, has it exactly? 53 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 3: Is Israel listening to the United States or will it, 54 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 3: like once we get clear on what President Trump's position is. 55 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 4: I think Israel cares enormously about what the United States says, 56 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 4: and I think it would not I'm certain it would 57 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 4: not have launched this attack without a cent from Trump 58 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 4: in a phone call last Monday and generally over these 59 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 4: last months. So if Trump were to suddenly change, look 60 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 4: at this point, it's hard to know because Israel's in 61 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 4: the middle. By the way, if I don't know if 62 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 4: you're hearing, but we are having an attack on the 63 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 4: Tel Aviv area right now with Iranian missiles I'm in 64 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 4: my secure room with a steel door and a steel 65 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 4: window and reinforced concrete, so I'm as safe as I 66 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 4: can be, so I can keep talking to you. But 67 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 4: people across central Israel are running to their bomb shelters. 68 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 4: So yes, I think what Trump and the United States 69 00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 4: wanted very important to Israel. Absolutely, they've been coordinating very closely. 70 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: So Ethan is there. 71 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 5: I guess the next step might be, as you suggested, 72 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 5: use of some military armaments to maybe deal a knockout 73 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 5: blow to the Iranian nuclear facilities. Is there a sense 74 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 5: that that is being discussed and if. 75 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 4: There's no doubt, there's no doubt it's being discussed. There's 76 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 4: no doubt that. Look, if you look at the Americans 77 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 4: have moved the Ninnis carrier group to the from the 78 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 4: Asia to the Mediterranean. That's the second carrier groups. It's 79 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 4: also sending others. Its sent Thad anti air defense systems 80 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 4: to Israel. It's moving stuff here in preparation for participating. 81 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 4: That doesn't mean it will. And there's no question in 82 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 4: my mind that the Trump administration is examining this possibility 83 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 4: right now, and I don't know what it's going to decide, 84 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 4: but we do know that the President left Canada, left 85 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 4: banf early and said that he needs to deal with 86 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 4: this issue, and he didn't sound like he was interested 87 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 4: in some kind of deep negotiation. 88 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 3: Right well, Ethan, thank you so much for joining us. 89 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 3: Ethan broun Our, Bloomberg News Israel Bureau Chief, Stay safe, 90 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 3: good luck, Our thoughts obviously with you as he reports 91 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 3: during an attack that is something that is tremendously amazing 92 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 3: and reporting in all of that, Ethan, we thank you 93 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 3: very much for joining us on that.

All right, so, 109 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 3: late last evening or afternoon, the Senate passed or the 110 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 3: Senate Republicans laid out its own version of the tax bill. 111 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,239 Speaker 2: Joining us for more as hand made a trace. 112 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 3: Managing partner and Director of Economic Policy at Beta Partners, 113 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: Henrita for you, what was the biggest surprise. 114 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 6: The biggest surprise to me had to be the Medicaid components. 115 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 6: Some of this stuff we know is going to have 116 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 6: to be negotiated for the next couple of weeks, if 117 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,799 Speaker 6: not month, at least a month from here. 118 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 7: Given the disparity between the House and the Senate. 119 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 6: But the Medicaid cuts really have a constituency of no one. 120 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 6: I'm not sure exactly how they're planning to thread the 121 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 6: needle just in the Senate, let alone the House with 122 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 6: this package. They obviously are on a hunt for revenue. 123 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 6: The tweaks that they made, I think based off our 124 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 6: estimates which come from my colleague Spencer Pearlman suggests that 125 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 6: we're looking at like two hundred billion dollars in additional 126 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 6: revenue for medicaid. 127 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 7: But I want to be clear, this cuts. 128 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 6: Off thirty five percent of the entire state of Alaska's 129 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 6: medicaid recipients. And that's not even the most recent analysis 130 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 6: and accounting from CBO. So they're gonna have some serious 131 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 6: problems with this piece. That really surprised me. 132 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 5: So talk to us about is this. I guess the 133 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 5: next date that we're all waiting for is kind of 134 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 5: a July fourth. That's when the Senate wanted to get 135 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 5: something done. Is that is that still on the table? 136 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 4: You know? 137 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 7: I just can't get my head around July fourth. 138 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 6: I understand optically and emotionally, it sounds good, it's a 139 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 6: feel good story to have this done by the fourth 140 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 6: of July. But the only way that members of Congress 141 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 6: operate and act is with a sword hanging over their heads, 142 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 6: and that's the debt ceiling. So last week CBO actually 143 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 6: pushed out the debt ceiling deadline to mid August to 144 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 6: mid September. I think that's why you're seeing Ron Johnson, 145 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 6: the Senator from Wisconsin, saying. 146 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 7: You know we're going to be to go shooting this 147 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 7: all the way through. 148 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,239 Speaker 6: August is because they don't have a hard and fast 149 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 6: deadline until they need to hike the debt ceiling, at 150 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 6: which point the debt ceiling will be what like forty 151 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 6: two trillion dollars and get us through November. 152 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 7: Of twenty twenty six. So they've got a long way 153 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 7: to go. 154 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 3: I think going to my world, and that's the energy world. 155 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 3: I was really interested in how wind and solar got 156 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 3: no relief in this. I can imagine I neither hydrogen. 157 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 3: I can imagine that the alternative energy lobbyists were going 158 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 3: hardcore for weeks in terms of the Senators. And I'm 159 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 3: just wondering, like why, like why keep tax breaks for 160 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: utilities and purchase power agreements for wind and solar but 161 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 3: not for consumers? 162 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 5: Right? 163 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 7: And I think, Alex, you're really nailing my sentiment. 164 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 6: Right now, I'm trying to talk with as many staffers 165 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 6: as I can to understand why behind this package. The 166 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 6: IRA tax credits are extremely popular in Republican states. Specifically, 167 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 6: they seventy percent of the flow is going to those districts, 168 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 6: so that is really important for a lot of Senators 169 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 6: who are for reelection next cycle. I'd highlight Tom Tillis 170 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 6: most particularly on this one. I think that the IRA 171 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 6: tax components need to be adjusted from here. It's plane 172 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 6: from the fact fact that the saltcap, for example, is 173 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 6: not even addressed by this package. 174 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 7: It's just kept at the ten K rate. That they're 175 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 7: going to do more tweaks. 176 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 6: So I'm expecting some pretty substantial changes to the IRA side, 177 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 6: to the residential stuff. 178 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 7: And when we knew some things were going to come out, like. 179 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 6: The electric vehicles tax credit is standard operating procedure. 180 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 7: We knew that was going to come out. 181 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 6: And there's some understanding to get to your specific question 182 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 6: that there's a duplicative component. 183 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 7: To the residential and commercial building. 184 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 6: Tax credits that already exist at the state level, so 185 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 6: why does the federal government need to layer them on. 186 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 6: So that's one piece, but really I can't bet the 187 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 6: needle and get you the votes for this package right now. 188 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 5: Universities kind of surprised to me. They came out a 189 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 5: little bit of a winner here. Reduced excise tax on 190 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 5: university endowments. That's a big one. Where did that come from? 191 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a big one. 192 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,719 Speaker 6: There's actually a lot of really random stuff that is 193 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 6: and is not in this build. The university piece obviously 194 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 6: is very much an audits with the public projection that 195 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 6: the administration is take towards universities, and I think that 196 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 6: is pretty widely supported by Republican lawmakers and voters. 197 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 7: Obviously, the Senators are indicated that maybe they're not all 198 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 7: the way there yet. 199 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 6: But there's other pieces that are not in this bill, 200 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 6: Like there was a proposal to tax cruise lines that 201 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 6: you'll maybe remember Commerce Secretary Lutnik came out in wholehearted 202 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 6: support for. 203 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 7: But again, you know, not to harp on Alaska. 204 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 6: I don't know why I keep talking about them, but 205 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 6: you know that would have been a hit to Alaska. 206 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 6: So they chose not to use that component to generate revenue. 207 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 6: But they did choose to cut the Medicaid stuff and 208 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 6: kick I think the late assessment is sixteen million people 209 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 6: off Medicaid. So there's a lot of confusing pieces here. 210 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 6: I'm again, I'm really just trying to thread the needle 211 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 6: to find the fifty one votes for this package right now, 212 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 6: and I can't get to it. 213 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 3: Okay, So then what happens? So you can't get the 214 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 3: fifty one votes. We don't even know if the House 215 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 3: Republicans are going to like what this bill is, So 216 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 3: what happens now? 217 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, So you know, let's talk about maybe the underreported 218 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 6: component here, which is the potential that this doesn't pan out. 219 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 6: We still have thirty percent odds that they kick this 220 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 6: into September. Excuse me into Senator Lindsay Graham is the 221 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 6: chairman of the Budget Committee, and he's being really clear 222 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 6: that Republicans have four bites at the apple and reconciliation, 223 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 6: and he's entirely correct. They don't need to have this 224 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 6: entire comprehensive package ready for prime time, especially with Israel 225 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 6: lebron and the one hundred and seventy five billion dollars 226 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 6: in this package that goes to large military preparedness, another 227 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty billion that goes to immigration. There's 228 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 6: a lot of ways for Republicans to operate for the 229 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 6: next year and a half going into the midterms that 230 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 6: doesn't have to be this. 231 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 7: One big package. 232 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 6: So I think there's going to be some renewed discussion, 233 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 6: especially as we're talking about delays for forward progress, about 234 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 6: maybe breaking this bill into pieces. The five trillion dollar 235 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 6: debt ceiling hike alone loses you ran Paul's vote. So 236 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 6: there had already been to conversations about cutting that back 237 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 6: down to two and a half trillion and maybe passing 238 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 6: these bills piecemeal. 239 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 7: That is an option. 240 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 6: It's a low odds prospect, but it's nothing to be 241 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 6: mindful of as an investor. 242 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 5: So just thirty seconds on that raising that tax ceiling 243 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 5: by five trillion. I can't do that in my balance sheet. 244 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 5: But does it seem to be a problem for the 245 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 5: federal government. 246 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: Uh? 247 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I wish I had that kind of checkbook. 248 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,599 Speaker 6: That'd be pretty fantastic. This is a absolute record by a 249 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 6: magnitude that I can't even do the math on. I 250 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 6: think the last time we increase the debt scented by 251 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 6: a specific dollar figure, it was like one point two trillion, 252 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 6: and that got us almost a year and a half 253 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 6: worth of functionality. Now we're talking about a five trillion 254 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 6: dollar hike, which by the way, is a trillion dollars 255 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 6: more than the House. 256 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 7: Is authorized, and it only gets us through the midterms. 257 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 7: That's pretty exorbitant, and that really speaks to the sheer. 258 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 6: Volume of deficit increases that's in this package. 259 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 7: And it is also, you. 260 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 6: Know, the most regressive and substantially underwater bill that has passed. 261 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 6: It's a negative twenty nine percent approval. Right now, that's 262 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 6: pretty rough. 263 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 2: I mean, I think rough is like an understatement. 264 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 5: I mean, I've been a citizen in this country for 265 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 5: sixty one years. I have no idea how they do that. 266 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 5: I mean, I guess you just it's just kicked the 267 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 5: can down the road at the highest level. I guess, yeah. 268 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 4: I know. 269 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 2: Also, it's like a holy definition to like the whip, 270 00:12:58,880 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 2: Like what are you whipping? 271 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 6: Like? 272 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: No one's going to be whipped? All right, Henrietta things lot, 273 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 2: we really appreciate. Jump back on those phones. Let us 274 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 2: know what you find out. 275 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 3: Henrita Trice, Managing partner and director of Economic Policy over 276 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 3: at Beta Partners. 277 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Bloomberg Intelligence Podcast.

How much risk Shelby do you 285 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 3: think you should have in the markets? 286 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 8: Well, I will start off with saying we are staying invested. 287 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 8: Right there are points and in certain portfolio where we 288 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 8: have a little bit more cash than we would like to. 289 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 8: And it's not because we're sort of taking that step 290 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 8: back approach and saying let's get out of this, we 291 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 8: don't want a part of it. It's more so that 292 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 8: we're seeing that some of these pullbacks along with the rallies, 293 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 8: are really broad based, and so the opportunity for buying 294 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 8: in terms of getting in at a price that would 295 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 8: favor us in terms of that long term return, it's 296 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 8: not showing up as in a way that we would like, right. 297 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 8: So where there are higher cash balances is because we're 298 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 8: sort of waiting for those fair valuation opportunities, but going 299 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 8: ahead and staying invested because we can't control these sort 300 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 8: of big market shocks, right, and it is a bit uncomfortable. 301 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 8: It is something that requires a very long term orientation 302 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 8: in order to sort of suffer through it. But it's 303 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 8: not putting us on the sidelines of anything, We're much 304 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 8: more active. We're spending a lot more time filling up 305 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 8: the universe, even when the price opportunity doesn't necessarily present itself, 306 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 8: and just adjusting according to that sort of geopolitical risk 307 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 8: as necessary. 308 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 5: Are there certain sectors that screen well for you guys? 309 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 5: A lot of folks we're saying ahead now I have 310 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 5: an opportunity to buy the mag seven when they sold off. 311 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 7: Earlier in the year. 312 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 5: What sector screen well for you guys? 313 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 8: I think right now we have surprisingly actually taken a 314 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 8: closer look at certain financials, and in terms of some 315 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 8: of our core and income oriented strategies, trying to get 316 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 8: a better look at certain consumer stable companies that are 317 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,119 Speaker 8: just good at what they do and have been overlooked 318 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 8: and sort of punished for where we are in the cycle. 319 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,359 Speaker 2: In terms of tech. 320 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 8: We've taken another We've taken a look at Service Now, 321 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 8: which has remained a bit expensive, but they're very mature 322 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 8: in their space. They have high quality leadership, great retention, 323 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 8: fantastic cross selling opportunity, and if the runway for agentic 324 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 8: ai has been pulled forward the way we think it has, 325 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 8: it's a great opportunity. If we sort of see any 326 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 8: sort of market dip that allows us to enter that 327 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 8: position sooner. 328 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 3: Now, you were stalwarts of say Costco and Walmart, and 329 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 3: I'm assuming you still are. But if I'm max on 330 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 3: that position, what do I do? 331 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 8: You max out on Costco and Walmart and you're already 332 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 8: maxed out on MasterCard, you can do what we've been 333 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 8: trying to do. You can go ahead and play that 334 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 8: cow position that we've seen coming up this the past 335 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 8: week or so, which has been Costco, O'Reilly Autoparts, and Walmart. 336 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 2: So we got, yeah, I do coin Cow. I did 337 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: not coin Cow, and I. 338 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 8: Was devastated that I didn't see it's a Costco, Costco, 339 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 8: O'Reilly Auto Parts and then Walmart. So O'Reilly had been 340 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 8: something that we were looking at because when you think 341 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 8: about it, and this has been something that's been ongoing 342 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 8: since we had a lot of that inflation and autos 343 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 8: in twenty two to twenty three. 344 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 2: People were fixing their cars. 345 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 8: Right now, when we look at that savings being depleted, 346 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 8: people are doing that again. And then you add on 347 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 8: top of savings depletion, student loan resumption, and tariffs. You're 348 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 8: definitely choosing to fix your car. If you can, right, 349 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 8: and so that has been something that has been periodically 350 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 8: a little bit more expensive, but very much staple oriented, 351 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 8: similar to how people are fixing their homes instead of 352 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 8: trying to sell in buying new ones. So if you 353 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 8: can't get into some of those staples already, and you're 354 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 8: still not able to get into the toll takers MasterCard, 355 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 8: you could wait for something like an O'Reilly to pop up, 356 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 8: or you could look in some of those other consumer 357 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 8: staples that are more in sort of the health and 358 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 8: beauty sort of space. Can View is a great option 359 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 8: for that. We've seen that white label has not penetrated 360 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 8: that sort of consumer health space the way that we 361 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 8: would expect it too. It's kind of hanging out, kind 362 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 8: of flat. 363 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 5: The average age of US cars and light trucks twelve 364 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 5: point six years. I'm looking at John Tucker when I say. 365 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 2: This, Well, have you looked under the hood of your car? 366 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 2: I mean, there's nothing in there. 367 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 4: I recognize that I used to be able to change 368 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 4: out a carburetor, fire. 369 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 2: YouTube videos for that. 370 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 5: Well, it's basically my new car, a twenty twenty four vehicle, 371 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 5: is I've been saying, it's basically my iPhone it's an 372 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,479 Speaker 5: iPhone with four wheels, That's what it is. It is 373 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 5: it's crazy. Is the FED going to help us out 374 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,239 Speaker 5: this year? Or should we not rely on that? 375 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 7: They could help us out this year? 376 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 8: But I wouldn't expect it to be until the end 377 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 8: of the year, and as a result, I would not 378 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 8: rely on it. I've coined in my team this is 379 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 8: something I have coined frozen fed summer. I think that's 380 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 8: what we're going to see because there's so much murkiness 381 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 8: in the data. Right we're about to enter a period 382 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 8: where there's not going to be too. 383 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 2: Too much promo shopping. We will have a little bit of. 384 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 8: Promo in July fourth, but a lot of the vacations 385 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 8: have been booked right once we start to get into August, 386 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 8: it gets a little bit more promo activity for back 387 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 8: to So there's a short window for June and July 388 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 8: where we can probably have a look at the data 389 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 8: and say, are people still spending? Is kind of just 390 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 8: the weather? What are we going to get here? And 391 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 8: so that'll help us out a little bit. But shortly 392 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 8: after that we'll have murky data again from promo from 393 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 8: Labor Day and then all of a sudden, it'll be 394 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 8: promo from Christmas. 395 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 2: So I'm not sure the Fed's going to. 396 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 8: Have a great idea what we're looking at. Unless there's 397 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 8: a really huge swing in employment in a negative direction. 398 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 8: I would probably bet that employment would push them faster 399 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 8: than just sort of retail and NCPI data. 400 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 3: How do you guys look at the international trade? Right 401 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 3: Bank of America pum manager survey came out today and 402 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 3: said that fifty four percent of respond and think the 403 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 3: international trade is like the place to be in the 404 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 3: next twelve months. 405 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 8: We have on our team. That's something we started looking 406 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 8: at a couple of months ago. We were I don't 407 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 8: want to say early movers, but we were early believers 408 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 8: in the international trade, and especially in Europe. Now Europe 409 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 8: had gotten beat up for a long time, but it's 410 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 8: a place that we decided to just stay the course. 411 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 8: And that is part of what comes with active but 412 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 8: also concentrated portfolios, where you're going out head and saying, 413 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 8: let's hand pick twenty thirty spots and this is where 414 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 8: we're going to position ourselves. So thankfully we're not having 415 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 8: to time the market there, but we have decided to 416 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 8: take a step and say, okay, Is it European discretionary, 417 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 8: is it euromp in financials? Is it European defense? Right? 418 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 8: Where do we need to go ahead and take more 419 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 8: time and be more interested in just building up that universe. 420 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 8: So the short answer to that question is yes, we're 421 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 8: definitely taking a look because especially between France and Germany, 422 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 8: we know that there's going to be more spending there, 423 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 8: not just defense, but in general the world savers are 424 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 8: about to spend a bit more money. So how can 425 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 8: we go ahead and orient ourselves. We have strong positions 426 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 8: in companies like Icon, which is in pharmaceuticals, Nintendo which 427 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 8: we don't have to pbscribe Nintendo, right, that's just a 428 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 8: strong operator. But we also have positions and these are 429 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 8: in our model portfolios, companies like a Simrise where we're 430 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 8: talking about different additives for sense and products like that. 431 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 8: So being in that space already sort of gives us 432 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,719 Speaker 8: an advantage when that market kind of comes in the upswing. 433 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 5: One of the name here, I want to get to 434 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 5: United Parcel Service. Yeah, the folks in Brown what's going 435 00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 5: on there? 436 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,479 Speaker 8: That's always been one of my favorite positions. It's something 437 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 8: I've covered ever since I've been in Motley Full asset management, 438 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 8: and it's because they have a fantastic operator, Carol Toomey 439 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 8: is a force of nature. They've gotten beat up over 440 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 8: the past year or so because of the labor negotiations. 441 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 8: I think a lot of investors thought they were going 442 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 8: to come out with a bit more of an upperhand 443 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 8: than they did, but they've already faced a lot of 444 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 8: those costs on the upfront. 445 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 2: What they've gone ahead and done is shedded. 446 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 8: Business that's not profitable for them, and so that business 447 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 8: is now going to absolutely dilute pricing in the market, 448 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 8: and they've taken themselves out of it. So when we 449 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 8: come out on the other side of this business cycle, 450 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 8: we feel very comfortable with our position in ups because 451 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 8: people find ways to buy things. When we look at 452 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 8: the overall financing nature of just consumption at this point, 453 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 8: we know that there's going to continue to be movement 454 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 8: of goods, and so finding that position where they're also 455 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 8: a solid yielder and pretty high shareholder return, we're more 456 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 8: than happy to be there. 457 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 3: Great stuff.
