00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane, along

2
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: with Jonathan Ferrell and Lisa Abramowitz. Daily we bring you

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: insight from the best and economics, finance, investment, and international relations.

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple podcast, SoundCloud, Bloomberg dot Com,

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: and of course on the Bloomberg Terminal. We're not gonna

6
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: show the chart right now because we don't want to

7
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: waste the second with Matthew Lozetti, chief US economist at

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: Deutsche Bank. But Matt, I look at corese c P

9
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: I and you've got to be kidding me. This is,

10
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: you know, the to use a fancy phrase of David

11
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: Fokas Landau would use, this is a teen tweets move

12
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: and a turnaround. There's no way there's a vector here.

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: So on the path it's six point three corps. What

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: number do you need to see or you have John

15
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: Farrell's vector of disinflation. Yeah, So I think we shouldn't

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: over emphasize the zero point three. We've seen that a

17
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: few times over the past year and a half. But

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: I think when you do look at the underlying elements

19
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: of this data, there's some support there. So owners equivalent

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 1: rent coming off a little bit. We saw health insurance

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: inflation come down, which was anticipated. You're seeing some of

22
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: the goods deflation as we were. You know, everybody anticipates

23
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: that we're going to see a power prices down, use

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: cars everybody knew was gonna be down. Household furnishing is

25
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: coming off. So I think the underlying elements of this

26
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: report are actually you know, they're they're good, they're supportive.

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: There's you know, some evidence that we are moving from

28
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: peak inflation down lower. Where where do we end up?

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: I think is the big question. But to John's point

30
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: on vector six ish core inflation, at what point do

31
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: you say, yeah, the arrows pointing down, is it five

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: point eight? Is it five point two? How much move

33
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: do you need to see in core to say vector

34
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: in place? So I think we can't look at the

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: year of a year data simply because you're building these

36
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: point six point seven prints that we've seen over the

37
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: past year. I think it's all about the month on

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: month prints, and I think the market is right to

39
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: focus on that. Um In those prints, you know we've

40
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: gotten I would say some broad based deceleration and a

41
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: lot of these categories I would expect the trim, mean

42
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: and medium measures do look better today. It does support

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: I think, what is the FEDS leaning towards wanting to

44
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: downshift in in December? And then as we get into

45
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: next year, you know, February March, it's all about can

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: we maintain some deceleration and will you begin to see

47
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: the labor market come into better balance over the next

48
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: several months. And we're seeing the market down grade the

49
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: expectation for a seventy five basis point rate hike in December.

50
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: It seems like a fifty basis point rate hike is

51
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: being locked in as well as a lower terminal rate

52
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: than perhaps they were thinking just a couple of minutes

53
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: before this report came out. How much does that change

54
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: your assessment of how far the feder will have to go?

55
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: If we get ongoing down shift in the inflation reads,

56
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: if we get another softer than expected print in December,

57
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: does that cause you to rethink a at recession and

58
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 1: be that it's going to be deep? Yeah? I think

59
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: the big if is do these into these continue because

60
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: we've seen these point three prints before, UM, but no

61
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: out if you continue to see these come off, UM,

62
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: it's certainly supportive for the Fed not having to get

63
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: too much higher levels. Our terminal rate has been at

64
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: four point nine percent. I think that still seems like

65
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 1: a reasonable view at the moment um. We wrote a

66
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: piece yesterday. There's a lot of focus on financial conditions,

67
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: and certainly with equity markets really taking off here, there

68
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: will be a lot of focus on our financial conditions

69
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: easing in a way that Chapal does not want. What

70
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: I would highlight that is maybe a little bit different

71
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: than that is the bank lending channel and we get

72
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: the Senior Loan Officer survey. It's a really good leading

73
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: indicator when you see tightening of lending standards on commercial

74
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: and industrial loans UM, commercial real estate UM. And we've

75
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: seen a material tightening there. So it's a question of

76
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: has the Fed done enough? How much more do they

77
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: need to do. The bank lending channel tells us you

78
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: may not need to have a materially higher terminal rate

79
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: than than what's being priced. It's a three percent move

80
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: on some futures, it's a nineteen basis point twenty basis

81
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: point move in some places on the curve in the

82
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: bond market. Let me ask you this. You said something

83
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: that is of interest to make this gives the FETE

84
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: the spice to what that we're going to do anyway,

85
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: which is back away from seventy five basis point hikes.

86
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: If this FED had this data going into the last

87
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: meeting with that news conference has been any different, I

88
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: don't think so. I mean, you know, I think the

89
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: worry is when you downshift that you ease financial conditions

90
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: in a way kind of like where we saw in

91
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: July that is counterproductive from the Fed's perspective. This is

92
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: one data point. We had points six the previous month.

93
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: This is point three. There are some encouraging elements within

94
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: this data point, so I definitely want to emphasize that,

95
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: but the FED needs to see more to to say,

96
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: you know, we we can decelerate them from fifty down

97
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: to twenty five and ultimately pause at some point. It

98
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: is something that I think helps them along that path um,

99
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: but it's no, it's not conclusive evidence. I think that

100
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: they can peak up at five percent and be fine

101
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: for this Watching this and listening right now, they won't

102
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: just have the hope that FED backs away from seventy

103
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: five and goes with fifty and this data. If we

104
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: get the data like this again on December thirteenth. That

105
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: would endorse that approach. They're hoping that the second piece

106
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: of a communication from chair and Pal also gets readdressed,

107
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: so it's slower seventy fifty maybe twenty five. He also

108
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: said higher. Does this remove the risk or help to

109
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: remove the risk that the terminal rate scope for the

110
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: terminal rates much higher than where we are priced right

111
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: now is removed. Yeah. I think some of the contexts

112
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: around those comments was lost. You know, when chair Pal

113
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: is talking about a higher terminal rate, he's usually referencing

114
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: what the sep dot plot was showing in September that

115
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: terminal rate was four point six as a medium, up

116
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: from three up, up from three a D. But I

117
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: think he was saying higher than what they had projected

118
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: as of September. The market went with it and went

119
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: to five and a quarter for someone what we priced already,

120
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: absolutely sure, and so I think there's there's some context there.

121
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: He was guiding towards something that was higher than where

122
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: they were in September, not necessarily something that was materially

123
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: higher than what the market was pricing at the time.

124
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: A viewer just wants to know your view as we

125
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: got the CPI report, we got initial jobs claims, and

126
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,559
Speaker 1: we see the continuing claims ticked up to one point

127
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: four nine million. How much are we looking at increase

128
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: in employment rates that perhaps people have not really priced

129
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: in fully. Yeah, so on our re continuing jobs claims

130
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,679
Speaker 1: are the best real time indicators of recessions. UM. There's

131
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: been a lot of difficulty in interpreting that data. UM.

132
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: At least if you look to the prior weeks, you

133
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: had seen this uptick take place, but it was only

134
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: in the seasonally just the data was not in the

135
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: n s A data. So I think there's some caution

136
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: because there's been a lot of difficulties seasonally adjusting the

137
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: data UM post the pandemic. But if you continue to

138
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: see that rise, uh, it is something that tells you

139
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: that the labor market is beginning to materially usen and

140
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: it is the best real time indicator of recession. This

141
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: was awesome gotten into the print coming out of it.

142
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: I hope we can do it again December thirty for

143
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: that and it's our real something. Okay, look forward to

144
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: your bank looking forward to it too. Kathy Jones Jones Down,

145
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: Chief Fixed Income strategistic Charles Swabs, so she could join.

146
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: That's warning, Kathy, I want to get right to the reality.

147
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: You know, I've been on this. I don't care about spreads,

148
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: I don't care about fancy convexity and the rest of

149
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: the frank fibosy world. I'm down in some flavor of

150
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: quality bonds. How do I begin the recovery? Well, yeah,

151
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: there's a couple of choices you have, so you know,

152
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: most likely what you want to do is start reinvesting

153
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: and higher coupon bonds. So in order to recoup your money,

154
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: you want that coupon money, right, because that's what you

155
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: get out of the bond market. It's much less about

156
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: capital gains. Obviously that was when when deals were falling

157
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: to zero, But in reality, most income you get from

158
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: fixed income is the coupon payment. So frankly, to repeat

159
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: what we had this year and get another fourteen percent down,

160
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: you need rates to go to nine percent. Now I

161
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: know a lot of parish people, I don't know anybody

162
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: talking about nine percent. So even in a static or

163
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: higher interest rate environment, if you have higher coupon hang

164
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: bonds and you're going to have a positive tone return,

165
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: what quality of quality corporates is the best positioning point?

166
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: Is it the no brainer triple A. I'm not using

167
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: it as a credit rating basis, but just the emotional

168
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: triple A quality or do you want to go some

169
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: shades of quality down to find that coupon? Well, in

170
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: the corporate bond world, there's not a lot of triple

171
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: A paper out there anymore, but you know you want

172
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: to stay investment grade. We think um high yield is

173
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: it's very appealing at nine percent yield. The problem is

174
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: we haven't really I don't think discounted the weakness in

175
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: the economy that's coming and there's probably more shake out.

176
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: They are so pretty cautious on high yield, but sticking

177
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: with higher credit quality and with munis too, or if

178
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: you're in a higher tax bracket, the mini market still

179
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: offers from very attractive tax exempt returns. How until you

180
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: staying in cash are short term bonds? I mean, we

181
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: just heard from Phil camp Rally over at JP Morgan

182
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: temper percent of his portfolio in cash because there is

183
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: an alternative. Are you finding the same thing in fixed

184
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: income and avoiding, for example, long duration simply because of

185
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: the uncertainty Right now? Yeah, we're seeing a lot of people,

186
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, stay short relatively, stay short duration. We think

187
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: that's actually a mistake to stay all in cash because

188
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: to lock in higher yields right now, we think as

189
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: an opportunity we are looking for inflation to come down.

190
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: We are still looking at a rocky road ahead for

191
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: the economy, and you're not locking in some of that

192
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: income right now. You're probably going to ride ride it

193
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: up and ride it all the way down and be

194
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: looking at lower yields down the road. So we're not

195
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: extending duration too, you know, uh, thirty years, but would

196
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: definitely think you should be moving out to at least

197
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: an egg like duration in portfolios. Do you think that

198
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: longer term we're going to see an average tenure yield

199
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: closer to say three percent or even two percent? Is

200
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: that the more likely kind of target that you're looking at.

201
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: Just get people an understanding of the rate of change

202
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: and where we may be headed. Yeah, we do. I

203
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: think some of the basic fundamentals haven't changed, so and well,

204
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: hey we've got some you know, weakness in the economy

205
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: coming to just a cumulative effect of all the typing

206
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: we've seen globally. We should see the economy continue to

207
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: weekend and inflation come down, But then we haven't really

208
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: changed the demographic profile globally and domestically of an aging population.

209
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: We still have a lot of savings around the world,

210
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: and frankly in the US, we still have the world's

211
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: reserve currency that people flocked to when you know, things

212
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: get tough. So I don't know why we wouldn't go

213
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: back we get inflation down to around our roughly three

214
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: three percentage tenure yield because the Iro Jersey over at

215
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Intelligence just publishes and he talks about a ten

216
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: year yield that will be hovering and that there will

217
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: be almost the stasis. Are you assuming we come out

218
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: of bond volatility and yield volatility towards a hovering sense

219
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: of the fixed income market? Well, I would love volatility

220
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: in the bond market to come down, but I think

221
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: we have to get the FED to slow down or

222
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: stabilize before that happens. I think one of the concerns

223
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: I have is that this this volatility, this rate of

224
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: change has been so dramatic and so high that it's

225
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: kind of destabilizing a lot of other things. So, you know,

226
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: because bonds are used to price other assets, if you

227
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: have a highly volatile treasury market, you can't really price

228
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: those assets very well. So I think down the road,

229
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: sure we should get lower volatility, but I think we

230
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: need to see the FED plateau at least before that's

231
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: going to happen. Kathy one of the best time, so

232
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: always Kathy Jones. That changed to up climate. It was

233
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: one of the themes in the election. Maybe below the

234
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: radar of crime, immigration, inflation, the economy of America, but

235
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 1: nevertheless it is always of this. Michael Reagan joins US

236
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: now administrator, yes, of the Environmental Protection Agency, but far

237
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: more from the backbone in the fields the hills of

238
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: North Carolina. He's got an understanding of the value of

239
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: climate to ourselves. Michael, thank you so much for joining us.

240
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: From copy seven. The problem with these interviews, as we

241
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: tend to go big and broad, I want to go narrow.

242
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: And it does go to the President's back and forth

243
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: on hydrocarbons, on oil, on net gas, and also on

244
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: methane emissions from oil. Take us into that little narrow

245
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: window of methane emissions and what can be accomplished. Well,

246
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: thank you for having me, and you know the President

247
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: has pledged that will continue to move forward UH to

248
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: reduce global warming, to reduce these emissions that cause global warming.

249
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: He never pledged that we would get out of it

250
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: immediately overnight, but he pledged that we would work our

251
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: way out of this. And so I think when we

252
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: talk about methane in particular, the conversation is that I'm

253
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: having with the oil and gas sector, with technology providers, UH,

254
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: with you know, the US Chamber of Commerce, is that

255
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: we see an opportunity to deploy technology to reduce methane

256
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: UH and actually save the loss of gas and gas

257
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: products while saving the planet and protecting public health. We

258
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: know the technologies exist, We know that there are advanced

259
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: technologies and business models that can aggt to reduce in methane,

260
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: and so E p a's job is to put some

261
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: rules of engagement in the role so that all companies

262
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: know and can make these longer term investments. How does

263
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: EPHS job change with the election including a big Republican

264
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: win in your North Carolina. I'm fascinated how the oil

265
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: and gas industry that has a GOP ben will change

266
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: an amend coming off this election. Well, you know, we're

267
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: the president has had a historic two years and passing

268
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: historic legislation with the Biparts and Infrastructure Law, the Inflation

269
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: Reduction Act. You know, resources coming to e p A

270
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: UH to help with and enhance the regulations UH that

271
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: we are required to put in place by law. So

272
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: I don't think the elections will change the fact that

273
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: e p A has legislative authority or authority provided by

274
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: the legislature or Congress to pursue the reduction of greenhouse

275
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: gas emissions to protect public health and protect the planet.

276
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna continue to move forward and do our job.

277
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: But the resources that flow from the UH, from the

278
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: Inflation Reduction that just help with that public private partnership

279
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: to pursue these reductions, So we're not solely reliant on

280
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: regulations alone. How complicated is it right now, Michael, to

281
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: be with this mandate to reduce submissions at a time

282
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: where people are prioritizing fossil fuels in light of some

283
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: of the shortages, in light of the war in Ukraine,

284
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: Is it perhap taking some energy away from what you're

285
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: saying or making it more difficult to argue your cause.

286
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's a it's a it's a it's a

287
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: speed bump, right I mean, I think we find ourselves

288
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: in this position where many countries are overly reliant on

289
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: fossil fuels provided by UH, you know, countries like Russia

290
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: at a time where it's it's inconvenient, and we are

291
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: seeing that this unprovoked war with Ukraine is causing pain globally.

292
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: If we were not so dependent on these fossil fuels,

293
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: if we had made the proper investments in clean technologies

294
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: and energy efficiency and more domestic opportunities, we would not

295
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: see the price volatility that we're seeing internationally. So it's

296
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: a wake up call, right. Number one, it is very

297
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: inconvenient obviously, but number two, UH, it is really forcing

298
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: all of us UH here at cop UH to think

299
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: through how we continue to double down and invest in

300
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: alternatives to fossil fill with Michael Reagan, Thank you, sir,

301
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: Michael Reriggan, there have the e p A. This is important,

302
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: John and you alluded to it one an election. To

303
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: speak to Terry Haynes. He has a certain perspective. He

304
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: got it right, He just got it right out into

305
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: all of this. I've almost looking for that massive red wave.

306
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: It dominated the conversations on this show when that's not

307
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: what's Harry was looking for? Terry Haynes, founder of PANCHEA Policy,

308
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: joined us right now, Terry, why don't you start with

309
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: what you were looking for and why and we'll take

310
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: it from there. Good morning, John, And uh, you know,

311
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: I'm kind of old school. I I look at the

312
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: data as much as possible. I weigh in a bunch

313
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: of other things. I do pay attention to what some

314
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: of the aggregators are are looking at, whether it be uh,

315
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, real clear politics, ornate silver sight, or whatever.

316
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: It's kind of a spice. But I've been been around

317
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: us and doing this a long time, and in the end,

318
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: what you get from me is my own view. I

319
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: wasn't seeing a way. I was seeing a you know,

320
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: slight reddening of the map, certainly, but probably what probably

321
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: a small house majority and uh, you know, the Senate

322
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: is still up for grabs, but I think right now

323
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: a little more likely to go are than D. But

324
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't gonna happen. So you know, I mean what

325
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: you get out of this is, you know, you get

326
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: continued but what you already have continued for firstability, nothing

327
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: in the domestic and uh continued unimity on foreign policy Terry,

328
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: Will there be a set of Joe Mansions in the House.

329
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: Will there be centrist Republicans looking to two thousand and

330
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: twenty four that will push against more conservative Republicans. I'll

331
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: let Joe Mansion and the Democrats in the Senate. Oh sure,

332
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: and well there already are. You know, Mansion by no

333
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: means is alone. Everybody knows Mansion in cinema. But yeah,

334
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: I always look at them and know that they're they're

335
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: representing others on issues, whether it be energy issues or

336
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: you know, frankly the regulation of financial services, because remember

337
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: they've rejected a bunch of people. Those people exist in

338
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: the House as well. So sure, these are four factions,

339
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: not two parties, I always say, and there then that's

340
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: still true. Well, this is really important. I don't think

341
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: it's in the zeitgeist right now, Terry. It's not a

342
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: unified GOP in the House. I get that, But do

343
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: they have real power to steer GOP legislation with the

344
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 1: GOP majority in the House. Well, if if they can

345
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: unify around something, sure, and there will be lots of

346
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: responsible people, uh Patrick McHenry and financial services being one

347
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: who will look to do that exactly. But it won't

348
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: be an easy process for them, just like it wasn't

349
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: an easy process for Democrats in the last cycle. Uh.

350
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: You know, it'll take some time. It won't be instantaneous. Uh.

351
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: And of course if the Senate does not go whether

352
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: or not the Senate goes Republicans way, you need sixty

353
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: votes to to proceed the legislation in the Senate. They

354
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: won't have anywhere near that. So the net net of

355
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: that is you won't see very much legislation be successful. Terry,

356
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: is it too soon to say that Rhoda Santis is

357
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: a new leader of the Republican Party? Um? No, probably not, Lesta,

358
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: It's probably not too soon to say that. You know.

359
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: Certainly the direction that the Santis points, which is, you know,

360
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: kind of unapologetic on policy while at the same time

361
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: having having a winning way about if not only personally

362
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: but but through election results, is exactly the direction the

363
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: party wants to go in. And Uh, then so sure,

364
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: I think that's probably true. From a substance perspective, How

365
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: does that differ from Donald Trump from a what perspective?

366
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: From a substance perspective? Substance perspective, I think what, what

367
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: and how it changes. Is that kind of consistency of

368
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: purpose and consistency of message. What always dogged former President

369
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: Trump was was a lack of consistency in messaging and

370
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: and a lack of consistency in substance. To some extent,

371
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,479
Speaker 1: Now there were he had some successes where he was

372
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 1: laser sharp on both of those, trying to tearriffs being one,

373
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: but a lot of other things that Trump White House

374
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: is a little bit all over the map, and that

375
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: was bad for them. Uh. De Sanders has shown in

376
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: his governorship that he's he's learned from that. It's Terry.

377
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: Tom's talked about this. I just want to build on

378
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: it a little bit more too close down this conversation.

379
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: The failure to embrace men in voting on the Republican side, Terry,

380
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: how did they address that? How do they even talk

381
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: about it in the coming months? Uh? The what? John?

382
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry? There to embrace mail in votes on the

383
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: Republican side, it just hasn't been part of the strategy

384
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: for the party. Yeah. That's strange, isn't it. It's Uh,

385
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: They're they're gonna have to. Uh And I think this

386
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 1: is probably a wake up call for that. I don't

387
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: know why they've been laid to the post done that,

388
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 1: but they have been. But they're going to have to

389
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: figure out that there's really two h two elections here,

390
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: the mail in vote election in the day of vote election. Uh,

391
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania is a perfect example that I could never understand

392
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: why uh why Republican why Oz agreed to debate Veterman

393
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: so late after there were so many votes already starting,

394
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: and uh, they're already in and that's probably what election

395
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: against him. Terry, Yeah, Terry, don't feel bad that you

396
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: didn't understand John. I didn't understand him either. There, you know,

397
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: like about every fifth word with John, I just with

398
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: the accident, I just I don't I didn't get the

399
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: mail in thing there as well. It wasn't just like no,

400
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: it's just like a pinky blinders thing. I have to

401
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: watch the captions. No, I did not understand what John said.

402
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: There is Terry said the same thing. The accent you'll

403
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: suggesting that was a Brimi accent. No, I need well,

404
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: I changes now that I think about it. I need

405
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: to get you know, the word thing at the bottom

406
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: of the screens close captions. I do that with pinky blinders.

407
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't understand me there and I didn't well, yeah,

408
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: but you know, but I need close caption for Bloomberg

409
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: Surveillance with John Farrow. I mean question how offended I

410
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: should be. I think I think quite. I think you're

411
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: justified being quite. But let's talk about Shelter. Melon voted.
