What I like about this John, 11 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: and particularly our next guest, is he is definitive as 12 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: the experienced deputy.

That man is Brian da City joins us 16 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: right now, the White House Director of the National Economic Council, 17 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: Brian Good to catch up again. Let's just start right here. 18 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: Big plan, a lot of detail we need to work through. 19 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: I want to start with a simple one. Help me 20 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: understand how you'll measure success beyond just big terms like 21 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: closing the gap, closing the keg. How will you measure 22 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: success specifically in the years to come. Well, look, it's 23 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: good to be with you, guys. We have a major 24 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: infrastructure problem in the United States were globally when it 25 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: comes to our physical infrastructure, our roads are in bad 26 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,919 Speaker 1: need of a pair. The typical person pays a thousand 27 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: dollars in extra cost in wasted time and fuel. And 28 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: if you think about modern infrastructure like broadband, one in 29 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 1: three households in rural areas of the country can't even 30 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: access high speed internet. This is all holding our economy back. 31 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: So as we think about coming out of this crisis 32 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: and rebuilding and building back better, as the President said, 33 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: we need to train our focus on a big, bold, 34 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: but also practical in smen in America, and that's what 35 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: the President is going to talk about today. The American 36 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: Jobs Plan is a historic capital investment in America, and 37 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: our metric of success will be can we make a 38 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 1: generational investment improve these things that matter to people's lives, uh, 39 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: the the way they commute, the way they interact with 40 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: their loved ones, the way they work and do so 41 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: in a way that actually creates millions of jobs in 42 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: the process. So that's the goal. That's the that's where 43 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: the President will be talking about today, and that's where 44 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: we'll be kicking off the legislative process. This, of course 45 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: is public sector investment. We need to talk about private 46 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: sector investment as well. And many people will be asking 47 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: Brian how writing the corporate tax right as we come 48 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: out of a crisis actually helps develop private investment in America. Well, look, 49 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: you talk about private investment, and I do want to 50 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: just make an important point. These public investments are among 51 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: the highest return investments in terms of spurring private investments. 52 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: So we know public investments in airports return several dollars 53 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: in private investments. Public investments in basic R and D 54 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: provide the backbone for innovation off what private investment flows. 55 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: So we know these are the kinds of high value 56 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: investments that can spur the kind of private investment we need. 57 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: We also think it's a reasonable thing to look at 58 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: how to cover the cost of that capital investment over 59 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: the long term. That's where the President's proposal comes in, 60 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,839 Speaker 1: corporate tax reform. Let's end the race to the bottom internationally. 61 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: Let's have a competitive tax system that encourages domestic investment 62 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: and do so in a way that over fifteen years, 63 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: would raise sufficient revenue to cover this plan. Ryandece, you 64 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: will be in Pittsburgh, that is in the vicinity of 65 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: Connor Lambs sevente Congressional district. You need Connor Lamb's vote 66 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: to get this done. How are you going to amend 67 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: adjust establish the Texas to pay for this so that 68 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: Mr Lamb can be reelected. Look in districts like that 69 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: and all around the country, people see and feel why 70 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: we need this investment. Bridges are crumbling, schools are crumbling. 71 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: There are four thousand schools, including in that district, where 72 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: kids are drinking water from lead. Okay, but how are 73 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: you going to do the Texes? Brian, tell me how 74 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: Connor lama is going to vote for this given the 75 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: tax hesitancy from sea to shining Sea. Here's what I 76 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: would say. You look at the seventeen tax cut that 77 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: passed without a single Democratic vote. It was bad tax policy. 78 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: It's encouraged more profits and production to actually move overseas, 79 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: and it's deeply unpopular. What we're saying is we can 80 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: do better than that. We can create a competitive tax code. 81 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: We can raise revenue, and we can invest in things 82 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: that really matter to the American people. And so that's 83 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: the that's the basics of this. The corporate tax reforms 84 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: that we're talking about here would still leave the corporate 85 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: rate lower than any year since World War Two, other 86 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: than the last couple of years in the wake of 87 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: the Trump tax cut. So we're talking about a year 88 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: is reasonable and practical, and the investments would really change 89 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: the game for families in places like western Pennsylvania r 90 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: And there's a radical economic sea change under what you're 91 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,120 Speaker 1: talking about. This idea that in the past there a 92 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: popular belief that the private sector was way more efficient 93 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: than the public sector. It was the way to generate growth. 94 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: This proposal questions that, basically saying it needs to come 95 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: from the government. Yes, it's infrastructure, but it's a lot 96 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: of other programs as well. What evidence are you pointing 97 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: to that public investing can be perhaps as efficient or 98 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: more efficient in generating growth and pushing this economy ahead. 99 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: Look at the end of the day, the private investment 100 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: and what is what drives the economy forward. But at core, 101 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: if we look back to great periods where America has 102 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: done great things, whether it's the building of the interstate 103 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: highway system or the space race in the nineteen sixties. 104 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: Well designed public investment can spur innovation at could spur productivity, 105 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: and it could spur job growth all around in America. 106 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: We know that's true in things like basic research. We 107 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: know it's true in things like physical infrastructure. And the 108 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 1: issue is that for forty years we have undermined those 109 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: basic drivers of economic growth. So this isn't about the 110 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: public versa private sector. This is about public sector investments 111 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: that we know will actually generate job growth, we know 112 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: will help spur innovation across the economy, and we have 113 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: done before as a country. This is not new. It's 114 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: just that we haven't done it in quite some time, 115 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: and we need to do it at historic scale, something 116 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: we haven't discussed. I found this morning bron is staying 117 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: local tax deductions. Can we sit on that just for 118 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: a moment. There are three House Democrats basically saying we 119 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: say no sell, no deal. What's your message for them 120 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: this morning? Look, the President is gonna put out his 121 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: plan today. He's going to talk about why we need 122 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: these investments, and he can talk about some of his 123 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: ideas on how to pay for it. He is eager 124 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: and we are eager now to hear from everyone about 125 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: their ideas. There's a lot of people who are going 126 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: to have ideas about how to structure those investments, people 127 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: who are gonna have ideas about how to pay for this. 128 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: Some people may argue that we don't need to pay 129 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: for portions of this. That's the conversation that we need 130 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: to move forward here. What the President is going to 131 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: be clear is that he wants input from Republicans and 132 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: Democrats alife. We want to find practical ways to move 133 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,239 Speaker 1: this forward, but these are investments that we cannot afford 134 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: not to make. That's the message you're here from the 135 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: president and you want to stand from the Republican side. 136 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: They don't feel like you want their input whatsoever. They 137 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: were invited to the White House for the last one 138 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: point nine trily in dollar bill. They didn't feel like 139 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: they would listen to. Are you just saying that or 140 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: do you actually hear something from the Republican side you'd 141 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: like to include and if so, what is it. This 142 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: issue of infrastructure having creates a unique opportunity for us 143 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: to do work together and find common ground solutions. This 144 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: is an issue that four years you all know you've 145 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: been covering it. Democrats and Republicans, the business community, the 146 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: labor community have all been saying, can't we come together 147 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: and do something big on America's infrastructure. This has been 148 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,559 Speaker 1: happening for years. We've been saying this, but we haven't 149 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: actually done it. We believe this is a unique opportunity. 150 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: This is a moment and we are absolutely committed to 151 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: the idea that we want to bring people together here 152 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: their ideas and find a way forward. Brian, I want 153 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: you to speak to the nation now, and frankly, Brian, 154 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: I'm worried about those loudsy bridges on Roots seven up 155 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: by Middlebury in Vermont, But Brian, I want you to 156 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: speak about this. How far behind we are in internet 157 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: and fast internet for our children learning across America. Is 158 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: this bill today gonna solve that problem? Look, this crisis 159 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: has exposed just how vulnerable we are as a country 160 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: to the fact that we don't have the basic infrastructure 161 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: backbone of the twenty century. We don't have high speed, 162 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: reliable internet for everyone. You know, there are kids around 163 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: the country who are sitting in McDonald's parking lots can 164 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: get all mine to try to What are we going 165 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: to do about in this bill today? It's gonna fix 166 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: the McDonald's parking lot to take my kid to Starbucks 167 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: reality we see in the island of Manhattan. Absolutely, this 168 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: bill is going to commit a hundred billion dollars to 169 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: get the goal of a pent access to affordable broadband 170 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: in this decade. It'll do it by building out the 171 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: physical the physical elements we need, particularly in rural and 172 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: remote areas. And it will do it by providing carrots 173 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: and sticks to carriers to make sure that there are 174 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: affordable plans available in every part of the country. We 175 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: can do this in this decade. We need a one 176 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: time investment of public capital, which will spur enormous amounts 177 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: of private capital and is also the right thing to 178 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: do so that our kids, and our families and our 179 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: businesses can actually get into the twenty one century economy. Brian, 180 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: this two point to five trillion dollar plan is thought 181 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: of as a wish list as much as it is 182 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: an outline for Biden's plans. How negotiable is this at 183 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: this point? Where can we see it going in terms 184 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: of the main non negotiable points. Well, I think if 185 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: you go through this plan. Every element of it reflects 186 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: serious and thoughtful work that has been done over the 187 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: course of years to identify where our gaps in our 188 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: infrastructure exist and how we could actually invest to solve them, 189 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: like the issue of broadband we were just talking about. 190 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: So what we're gonna do is we're gonna sit down 191 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: and ask people where do they see opportunity here and 192 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: where can we move move the ball forward. But what 193 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: the President is going to be uncompromising about is to say, 194 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: this is a moment where we need to make a 195 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: big capital investment in the country. Everybody recognizes that that's 196 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: the case. The question is can we actually get it done. 197 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: That's what the President is going to be saying, Brian, 198 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: let's finish on this two point to five trillion. And 199 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: in the White House statement the great challenges of our time, 200 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: the climate crisis and the ambitions of an autocratic China. 201 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: I found the last line there just absolutely fascinating. The 202 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: ambitions of an autocratic China. Can you span out specifically 203 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: to us how the challenge is posed by the Chinese 204 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 1: Communist Party have shaped this bill in front of us, 205 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: this plan. Well, one of the things the President is 206 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: going to talk about today is that this moment is bigger. 207 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: You've mentioned earlier that the world is watching that this 208 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: is a moment where the question is can democracy succeed 209 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: in delivering for for their people? And that's a question 210 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: that a lot of people are asking all around the world. 211 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: So part of what we're trying to do, your part 212 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: with the President is trying to do here is to 213 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: make clear what the stakes are. We are falling behind 214 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: in R and D, We're falling behind an investment in 215 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: supply chains and critical industries. But this is a moment 216 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: where we can show that American actually invest domestically in 217 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 1: our own domestic strength in a way that will provide 218 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: benefits to the world. We've already seen it with the 219 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: Rescue Plan. We passed the Rescue Plan. We've seen increases 220 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 1: in our own growth rate, but also spillovers in terms 221 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: of demand for the world. That is the essential role 222 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: that the American economy can play and American democracy can 223 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: play in the world. We just have to show that 224 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: we're up to the task. Great to catch up with you. 225 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: Let's talk again soon, specifically on China. We'd love to 226 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: continue that conversation. BRYANTSA the white House, National Economic Council 227 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: Director opening day used to be April ten. I don't 228 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: know when it was Cincinnati, but I tell you, Lisa, 229 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: it will be great to see all of sports get 230 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: back in some way or form, as we see with 231 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: the n C Double A right now. Yeah, My plans 232 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: have definitely have been charted out to try to get 233 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: everyone back, and not just for vaccinations. Where I know 234 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: that city Field, for example in New York City has 235 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: been in Yankee Citium for that matter, have been outfitted 236 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: as inoculation stations. There is a question of how baseball, 237 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: of how some of the other sports will look different 238 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: in a post pandemic era, Tom or a almost post 239 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: pandemic era, almost pandemic era. That is something we will 240 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: address down. Lisa, Bramwots and Tom Kenyan. We welcome all 241 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: of you, particularly Bloomberg eleven three oh in New York 242 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: and I must say up on Boston are Bloomberg affiliate 243 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: up in Boston as well joining us now. Derek Jeter 244 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: of the Miami Marlins are chief executive officer. He launching 245 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: himself into the stands a few years ago, the one 246 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: Yankee that red Sox fans due respect and also with us. 247 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: Anthony Shea with Loane Depot, the executive of the Marlins, 248 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: and the gentleman from Loan Depot, celebrate their announcement that 249 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: Loan Deepot will sponsor the stadium and will be very 250 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: visible for the Miami Marlins in this season. Anthony say, 251 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: from Sea to Shining Sea, you do loans for America, 252 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: you do financing for America. What is your advantage to 253 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: brand with Derek Jeter and the Miami Marlins. Well, good morning, Uh, 254 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: it is such an exciting day as I'm sitting here 255 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: at the new Loan People Park. I think our partnership 256 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: between two organizations, particularly with Derek, is just a natural fit. 257 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: We're just so enthusiastic about partnering up with Derek and 258 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: the Marlins organization and that we just couldn't do more 259 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: through Derek. It is the Miami Marlins, which you've worked 260 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 1: four in five years on to improve and to really 261 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: recast the franchise like you knew in New York. Where 262 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: are you on the path right now? Well, look, you know, 263 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: we we've made a lot of progress I think in 264 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: the three and a half years that we've been here, 265 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: but we still have a long way to go. You'll 266 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: you'll always hear me say we have a long way 267 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: to go, regardless of what happens during the course of 268 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: the season, but we're taking some positive strides forward, you know, 269 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: both on the baseball operations side and the business operation side, 270 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: and day like today is is extremely important to our 271 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: our organization and we could be happier with the partnership 272 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: that we have with Anthony and little people. You start 273 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: with the Citrus Series with Tampa, but then you've got 274 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: to get on the road and all the rest of 275 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: the grind of Major League Baseball. Derek Jeter, you were 276 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: affected by COVID last year and frankly into this year. 277 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: What precautions? What did you learn from that process that 278 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: you can bring forward? Is this nation heels? Yeah, I'll 279 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: tell you what you know, I said it at the time. Affected. 280 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: I don't even know if that's the right word to use. 281 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: I mean, we had, you know, eight team players as 282 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: positive in the in the span of a week. And 283 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: you know what I think we learned through it to 284 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: the course of that ordeal was but you can't take 285 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: anything for granted. I think there was a false sense 286 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: of security with our players because we were in somewhat 287 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: of a bubble, and it just takes one one case 288 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: that can can end up spreading throughout an entire team. 289 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: And and uh, you know, the health and safety of 290 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: you know, our players are coaches, our staff are fans 291 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: is extremely important to us. And uh, you know, you 292 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,479 Speaker 1: learn from past mistakes and you move on. So we're 293 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: happy that. Uh, you know, I think baseball is an 294 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: industry up until this point has has uh stayed pretty 295 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: clear of COVID up into this point. What do you 296 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: think it's harder, Derek being part of a team that 297 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: won five World Series or running a baseball franchise as 298 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: the owner. That's a good question. I don't even know 299 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: how to answer that. They're both pretty difficult. I think 300 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: you know, you mentioned it. When you're on a team, 301 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: you're on a field and you have one goal and 302 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: that's to win a championship each and every year, and 303 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: nothing changes. It's the same thing here. I think the 304 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: difference probably is, you know, you're when you when you're playing, 305 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: it's that particular game, that particular day, and on the 306 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: business side, you're looking three, four, five years down the road. 307 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: So I think there's a lot of similarities. But at 308 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: the same time, you gotta have a little bit more patients, alright, 309 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: So more patients three or four or five years down 310 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: the low down the road. At a time when baseball 311 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: franchises across the nation have been really affected by the 312 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: COVID pandemic just because of the revenues that have not 313 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: come in, how will that affect the five year plan 314 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: as you see it right now? I don't think it 315 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: necessarily changes as much. I mean, you know, you look 316 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: at partnerships like the one we have right now with 317 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: with Anthony and Loan Depot. You know, you still have 318 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: to look at the the overall plan, and we're not 319 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: gonna change. You know, we said when we got here 320 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do, wanted to build sustainable success and 321 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: that's on the field, it's off the field, and it's 322 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: partnerships like this that help us out. And you know, 323 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: on the field, I think we've done a pretty good 324 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: job of building an organization that you know, we can 325 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: be proud of. And it really made some strikes there 326 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: with the minor league sistem system, which is the foundation 327 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: of our success. So in that sense, you know, look, 328 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: everyone was affected, every industry was affected, and uh, you know, 329 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: moving forward, you just kinda have to bounce back from it. 330 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: Derek Jeter with us on Bloomberg Radio. We're thrilled to 331 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: let you know that the Miami Marlins Chief executive Officer, 332 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: Derek Jeter is with us with anthonyche they celebrate Loan 333 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: Depot's naming rights to the Miami Marlins franchise. Uh. To Anthony, 334 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: I want to link this first to you, Anthony, and 335 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: then to Mr Jeter, and that is the idea of 336 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: the spirit of Miami is personified by Mr Jeter. Anthony. 337 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, but Jeter launched 338 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: himself into the stands and a follow ball seven and 339 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: a half games ahead of the Red Sox a million 340 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: years ago. What's the spirit Anthony that Loan Depot season 341 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 1: all of Florida in this building boom. Well, we as 342 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: America's lender. Uh, you certainly have become part of supporting 343 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: America's housing. Florida is a critically important state for not 344 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: only America, but certainly for Loan Depot. Is one of 345 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: our top customer base. In addition to the fact that, uh, 346 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: you know, Florida is a great great yachting capital of 347 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: the world which we personally and I personally enjoy and 348 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: having the opportunity to pair up with winners here is 349 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: just agree opportunity for us, Derek, to the kids today 350 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: play like you. I mean, I know it's like in 351 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 1: the ESPN question and I'm supposed to say that and 352 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: all that, but come on, Derek, you know I see 353 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: the nation and trying to get baseball front and center 354 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: to the kids today. Would they go into the stands 355 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: on a late night twelfth inning? Well, first of all, 356 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: I want to say, I don't appreciate you saying that 357 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: was a million years ago. It wasn't that long ago 358 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: like that, but uh, you know, look, it's it's the 359 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: game changes. It changes from every generation. I remember when 360 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: you know, I was younger, and and you know, one 361 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: great thing is you have access to a lot of 362 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: the ex players and they come in and tell you 363 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: how much the game change. So the game has changed, 364 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 1: but the game is exciting with a lot of exciting 365 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: young players that are in our organization and other organizations. 366 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: So I I I kinda find it kind of hard 367 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: to try to compare generations, but you know, there's a 368 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: lot of exciting players to watch out there. So the 369 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: players are exciting. Derek, there is a question of whether 370 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 1: we can shorten the games and whether or not perhaps 371 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: some of the breaks for commercials, for other things, some 372 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: of the waiting and that people are perhaps don't have 373 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: the attention span for should be eliminated. Do you support 374 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,199 Speaker 1: that shortening the games? Taking measures? And what measures do 375 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: you think we should take? Well, I don't know if 376 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: you'd necessarily say shorten the games. I just say increasing 377 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: the action within the game. Look, I mean the games 378 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: are what three hours? Three and a half hours, So yeah, 379 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: there there are ways that you can shorten the games 380 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: to some extent. But I think it's just increasing the 381 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: action and get an opportunity to see how athletic baseball 382 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: players are. And so I think there are some some 383 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: minor rules changes tweaks that you'd be able to accomplish that. Derek, 384 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: I blame Nomar Garcia part. He played with the team 385 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: up to the northeast from where you were playing. He 386 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: gets out of the box. Every kid in America is 387 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: doing this with their hands, stretching out the beat. Do 388 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 1: we need a clock in baseball? I don't know if 389 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: you necessarily need a clock, you know what I mean? 390 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 1: They're I think they're you know, they're they're discussing some 391 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: pitch box and and but you know, one of the 392 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: great things about baseball is you know the game ever 393 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: know how long it's gonna be out there. It's a 394 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: family sport. You bring your entire family out and uh 395 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: be able to enjoy three hours with your family. But Derek, 396 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: you know the problem here, and I understand the naming rights. 397 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: You were struggling and you need to get a refight 398 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: through loan Depot and Anthony sheay, but then you rented 399 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: your house to Tom Brady. How is Tom Brady as 400 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: a tenant? I mean, should you have gone to loan 401 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: Depot or did it work out with Mr Brady as tenant? 402 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: You know what, it worked out actually, and I think 403 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: I deserve I deserve a Super Bowl ring for for 404 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: him renting my house. So there's a lot of championships 405 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: in that house. Yeah, Anthony, but Anthony, this is so important. 406 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you know we've talked to Derek, and Derek 407 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: gets the FaceTime.

I why 410 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: you would explain now the advantage of the financing of 411 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: loan Depot that has brought you to these naming rights 412 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: with Mr Jeter. Well, that isn't that a softball pitch? Right? Um? 413 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,239 Speaker 1: You know, we we are contemporary financial services company that 414 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: is built a lot of digital tools that help many 415 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: of our customers that are buying a home or refinancing 416 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: right there to do it very very fast and very easy. 417 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: Dot com will take care of you.

Do you witness 420 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: the boom economy? This show is predicting Yes, Uh, you know, 421 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 1: currently we are breaking records at our at our company, 422 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: interest rates are very very attractive. Although they're you know, 423 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: higher than they were three or four months ago, they're 424 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: still his historically very low. The housing boom is we're 425 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: in the middle of a now there's a very low inventory. 426 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: I think as we go through COVID, many of us 427 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: are realizing home is uh, home is everything. It's becoming 428 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: where we where we learned, when we go to school, 429 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: when we work out, So home I was lying, it's 430 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: not the last question Derek very quickly, do you, Derek Jeter, 431 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: how do we fix Red Sox pitching?

Many 436 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 1: important conversations today, but none more important. Here is Francine 437 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: Liquoix in London with Christine Leguard of the e c B. 438 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: I'm like, since the e CBS last policy meeting, many 439 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: hero area countries have extended or even tightened lockdowns. Vaccinations 440 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: are only making small progress. Is there a point when 441 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: ever longer restrictions will actually harm in your area's ability 442 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: to recover because businesses will just give up. I would 443 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: observe that we have an economic situation overall, which in 444 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: this part of the world Europe is really marked by uncertainty, 445 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: and in that general macro economic situation that is marked 446 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: by uncertainty. What monetary policy has to do, and what 447 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: the e c B has to do is to provide 448 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: as much certainty as possible. And this is really the 449 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: aim of the most recent monetary policy decisions we have 450 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: taken clearly in in the in the scope of our mandate, 451 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 1: which is price stability. But I think that in the 452 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: very exceptional circumstances that we are encountering, providing a degree 453 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: of certainty is the best that we can do at 454 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: the moment, given the lockdowns and what's going on with 455 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: vaccines in Europe. And then got has the balance of 456 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: risk actually shifted since the last policy meeting? Well, our 457 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: balance of risk is still tilted to the downside in 458 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: the short term because we are seeing a degree of uncertainty. 459 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: We are seeing renewed lockdowns, We are seeing a vaccination 460 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: rollerut that is short of what we had expected, but 461 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: it is much more balanced in the medium in the 462 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: media term, and we expect the vaccination rollout to proceed. 463 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: We expect sufficient herd immunity to be reached at the 464 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,479 Speaker 1: point in time in the future, and that leads us 465 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: to have rebalanced a bit our assessment of risks in 466 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: the medium term. So still downward in the short term 467 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 1: and more balanced in the medium term. Mario Drugging never 468 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 1: got to high crates. Can you imagine being in the 469 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: same position. We shall see. Future will tell as the 470 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: song would go, I would certainly hope that the economy 471 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: is going to pick up, that there will be a 472 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: turnaround in in the in the months to come, and 473 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: that we will be able to resume our sort of 474 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: less exceptional monetary policy going forward. But I'm not I'm 475 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: not seeing any kind of raise in the in the 476 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,479 Speaker 1: near future for sure. But then again, what are markets 477 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: exactly playing out at the moment. They seem to be 478 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: continuing testing central banks, like how steep of a yield 479 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: curve is. Okay, they can test us as much as 480 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: they want. We have a mandate, we have an aim. 481 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: We're going to be rivetted to that, and we're going 482 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: to do what is required in order to deliver on that. 483 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: And we have exceptional circumstances to deal with at the moment, 484 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: and we have exceptional tools to use at the moment, 485 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 1: and a battery of those, and we will use them 486 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: as as and when needed in order to, as I said, 487 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: deliver on our mandate and deliver on our pledge to 488 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: the economy. Christine mcguard of the European Central Bank there 489 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: and the short in the medium term as well. For 490 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: very busy, busy morning here in America, and also in 491 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: London and across Europe. Francy laquad joins us right now, 492 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: start stage and screen and thrills. She could be with 493 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 1: us this morning. Francy. First of all, what is seventy 494 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 1: three degrees in March like in London. That's fair enough, 495 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 1: it's nice. This is when all the bridge actually come 496 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 1: out in general. But imagine after three months of luck. 497 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: I mean there was everyone in the parks. The rules 498 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 1: have changed, so people together, you can have six people together. 499 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: But I have to say it was a high. Yesterday 500 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: was the warmest March day I think in lost twenty years. 501 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: And everyone was out. And you take Eurostar underneath the channel, 502 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: you come out, folks and if you haven't done it, 503 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: the fields of France, the rural beauty as you go 504 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: into Paris and whatever, the northern trades. You know what, 505 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm like, Hey, it's French France 506 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: in Francine. I was actually reading Lamond an hour ago 507 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: in my fractured French. They're going to be in lockdown 508 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: while you're swimming in the Thames. Well, so we're not 509 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: allowed to go to France at the moment, right, Remember 510 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: there's lockdown there's lockdown. So what we heard just a 511 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 1: short while ago is that to the in France, both 512 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: of them actually could be set to extend restrictions. And 513 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: I think the French president is due to address the 514 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: nation at eight pm local time. But if you're in London, 515 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: we're coming out of lockdown. But again, the schools were 516 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: closed for three months, tom and you're absolutely not allowed 517 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: to leave, you know, for foreign leans unless absolutely necessary. 518 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,439 Speaker 1: So you know, unless I had a very pressing reason 519 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 1: to go to Paris, I could not take that eurostart 520 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: to end up in Gaudino. So, Francine. Here in the US, 521 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: as you're probably well aware, we feel like we're emerging 522 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: from the end of this and people are getting out 523 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 1: and maybe it's just the weather, but the vaccines are 524 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 1: going so well here, and I think a lot of 525 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: folks here in the US were just shocked at the 526 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: inability of Europe in particular to manage its vaccine program. 527 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: What's the feeling on the ground, Well, you're right, Paul, 528 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 1: it's actually a disgrace. But this for you know, I 529 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: guess structural reasons. So if you look at what the 530 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,360 Speaker 1: US did, I think you guys have double the vaccine 531 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: doses needed for the whole population, so you could vaccinate 532 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: everyone twice. Over the UK, we're doing. Okay. What Europe 533 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: decided to do is because you have the European Union 534 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: to you know, basically decided to to choose it as 535 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 1: a block. So they negotiate it as a block, and 536 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: they were late to the game. They were about three 537 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 1: months late. A lot of people don't want the vaccine, 538 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: so they're very, very behind, and they're worried about variants, 539 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: which is why we're in a third lockdown in Europe. 540 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: And it seems like that there's this stop and start 541 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: vaccine just because it's but you know, it's difficult. It's 542 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: many countries together and they didn't directly negotiate, but took 543 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: time and they probably negotiated badly. Franc La Clause, thank 544 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 1: you so much. On conversation with Christine Legard. Look for 545 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: that digitally across all of the Bloomberg platform. This is 546 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: an interview, a conversation. We're going to talk about one story, 547 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,959 Speaker 1: but we've got to get to the general international boom 548 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: that's out there. Europe off on that, which means David 549 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: Harrold must have had a good year. He was in 550 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: like the hundred and fourteen percentile something like that. He 551 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: just did killer year. You know, it's like boom and 552 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: then there's a couple of years and then boom again. 553 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: David Harrow joining us with Harris Associates and of course 554 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: ok Mark International. Fun. David, it's all great, and let's 555 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: try to get to a general portfolio discussion in a moment. 556 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: You are visible with BMP, Perry bat and other selected banks, 557 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: including a small Zurich startup called Credit Swiss Group. Uh. 558 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: What was it like when you heard once again your 559 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: bank was really in trouble. Yeah, it's very frustrating. It's 560 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: very frustrating Tom that it's almost two step forwards, one 561 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: step backward, step forward, two step backwards because they make 562 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: progress in some areas, and they've done a very good 563 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: job in certain areas, and then you have these little 564 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 1: blow ups, David, frustrating. I mean, you and I we 565 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: eat at the same McDonald's. But before we go down 566 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: to Credit Switz and Zurich, it's fourteen dollars for a 567 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: number two value meal. David, you know this story, and 568 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: you know Zurich better than most anyone we speak to. 569 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: When did are they taken out of their misery. When 570 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: do they mate? When did they buy somebody else? Or 571 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: when does somebody buy them? Where does Credit Sweeze fit 572 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: in five, in ten years out? Well, to be honest 573 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: with you, I think it's quite obvious that the two 574 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: Swiss investment banks have trouble competing with the big will 575 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 1: call the Anglo banks, you know Morgan, Stanley, Goldman, Sachs, 576 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: JP Morgan, and there has been talking, as you know, 577 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: there has I mean, something I think can be done 578 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: with ubs this investment bank Credit suits. I mean, there's 579 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: just too much duplication there and I think there is 580 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: potential for there to be a Swiss powerhouse, but there 581 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: are technical difficulties to this. But I think one has to, 582 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: especially in light of what's happened in the last few weeks, 583 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: one has to really ask oneself whether there's something that 584 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: can be done to add critical mass to these investment 585 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: banks by putting them together. David I worked for Credit 586 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: Else By the way, Yes, so David I worked for 587 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: Credit Swiss for five years way back in the day. 588 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: But so I followed this story very closely and like 589 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: it just seems like the time and time again they 590 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: find themselves in situations that no bank would want to 591 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: find themselves, and they do it more frequently than others. 592 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: What is it about their culture? Do you think that 593 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 1: kind of puts them in positions where they're in, you know, 594 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: situations they just don't want to be in. Yeah, I 595 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: mean there have been periods of time, by the way, 596 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 1: where they have done very well. Don't forget during the 597 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: Global Financial Crisis they were one of the few banks 598 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: to come out relatively unscathed. They did a good job there. 599 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: But before that, if we go back into history, the 600 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: tech bubble, they did not do well. This is the 601 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: first time we actually made an investment credits after they 602 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 1: kind of collapsed after the tech bubble, they had a 603 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: change in management. We invested in it, actually did quite well, 604 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: sold out most of the stock, probably should have sold 605 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: it all out. And then, of course post the global 606 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,719 Speaker 1: financial crisis is where you saw these banana pels and 607 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: what I think it's happened. You had Brady Dooyan a CEO, good, 608 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: good person, but he didn't take risk off the table. 609 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: He didn't change the culture like should have been done. 610 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 1: And then Tejon came in started to ruffled a lot 611 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: of feathers by the way. Don't forget when when t 612 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: TM came in, he ruffled a lot of fun. Yes, 613 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: and he should have ruffled a lot more, it looks like. 614 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: But I have to say, and I've been very public 615 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: about this. I mean, the chairman has been in place 616 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: where over ten years. He comes from a law and 617 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: entertainment experience, and all of this has happened under his watch. 618 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: He was the wrong person to be the top of 619 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: the organization. We argued vociferously for his removal last February 620 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: and March, and it didn't happen. And it's finally, you know, 621 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: we're onto his last month. There's a very very strong 622 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,719 Speaker 1: banker coming into Credit Suite starting May first, and I 623 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: think it's it's literally like the Calvary, because you need 624 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: someone from the outside to go through that organization and 625 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: to change the culture, changing incentives um and so the 626 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: inherent strength this bank has can't come to the surface 627 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: instead of the weaknesses. Right now, the weaknesses are coming 628 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: to the surface. What needs to happen is the strength 629 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: needs to come to the surface. So David, you know, 630 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 1: obviously the Credit Swiss has got this tremendous private banking 631 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: franchise on a global scale. But I'll tell you the 632 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: investment banking chops that they have are very very strong 633 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: on a global scale. Are you of the opinion that 634 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,320 Speaker 1: they should try to be a global investment bank or 635 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 1: do you kind of put them in the bucket of 636 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: a Deutsche Bank, where, you know what, they really just 637 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: focus on Europe. I think they should focus on the 638 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: franchises where they could develop a competitive advantage, and whether 639 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: that means certain segments in Europe or other certain segments 640 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: around the world. I don't think being a universal investment 641 00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 1: bank um that. I don't believe they have the capability 642 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: to do that. And maybe if they did, put together 643 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: with with ubs would see that, but at this stage 644 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: there's no demonstration that they are capable of being a 645 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: full fledged global investment David, one more question on this, 646 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,439 Speaker 1: this huge uproar, this margin, calling the billions billions loss 647 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: We still don't know all of it, folks. One thing 648 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: I noticed, David Harrow is the sense of geography. Nomurs 649 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: over there, credit suite is over there, and others who 650 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: did better are over here. Did geography play into some 651 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: of the allocation of these billions of losses? That's a 652 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:47,720 Speaker 1: good question. I don't really have a clear answer to that. Um. 653 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: You know, the moral and credit suites are two very 654 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 1: different companies by the way, UM, I mean the Japanese 655 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: have always had this history of even the worst results 656 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: the Swiss credit suite in terms of investment banks, and 657 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 1: then you know what would happen is they would go 658 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: somewhere new, blow it up, retreat, and then go back 659 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: after a few years. You know, I think it might 660 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: have something to do with um in the client relationship 661 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: is something one could look at. We gotta switch at 662 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 1: the time we got left David Herold. The international in investment, 663 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: so much of it is predicated in a week dollar. 664 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 1: Can you succeed without a week dollar? Oh? Yes, yes 665 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 1: we can. We can't succeed without a week dollar. UM. 666 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 1: In fact, a strong dollar with a week foreign currencies 667 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: would would be would be good for my companies. You know, 668 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: for a long time, for a long time, you know 669 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: that we had this currency thing in our face. And 670 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: now perhaps some of its turning, meaning we had a 671 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: stronger dollar over the last four or five years. UM. 672 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: This eventually benefits foreign companies. But I think more importantly 673 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: is this notion of where the value place tend to be. 674 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: If you look outside of the United States, the negative 675 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: has been the weaker tech sector overseas and stronger what 676 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: will call kind of value place. And I think this 677 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,880 Speaker 1: is what one of the things that will help UM 678 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,280 Speaker 1: you know, foreign investment returns, is that the bubble what's 679 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,479 Speaker 1: kind of blown from tech companies that don't make money. 680 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: And I want to differentiate between two things. Cash flow 681 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: streams are what make a company valuable, and some tech 682 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 1: companies have huge market values with low um cash flow streams, 683 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 1: and others have a cash flow stream that supports the 684 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: market value. And I think the rotation that we will 685 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 1: see the continue to come out of our those companies 686 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: which have low cash flow streams and high market values. 687 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,840 Speaker 1: And what were we see the opposite high casual streams 688 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: and low market values is in a lot of the 689 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 1: European industrials and materials and financial companies. And this is 690 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: why I feel very very good about European equities over 691 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: the next twelve eighteen months.
