1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: Now. Last week, black Rock became one of the world's 2 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: biggest infrastructure investors after it also announced an agreement to 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: buy Global Infrastructure Partners for about twelve point five billion dollars. 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 1: I'm very pleased to be joined by black Rocks vice 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: chair Philip Hildebrand. Philip, thank you so much for joining us. 6 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: There's so much going on in the space of central banks. 7 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: It's pretty incredible actually that the world has been so 8 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: resilient despite the huge monetary adjustment unwinding fifteen years of 9 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: monetary loosening. Are you optimistic about twenty twenty four, Well, 10 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: I think. 11 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: That you're right. 12 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,639 Speaker 3: The past that's been really the last year has been 13 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 3: a story of pandemic savings that have been run down 14 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 3: by consumers, so very strong consumption. And then we should 15 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 3: not forget government spending has increased dramatically, particularly in the US, 16 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 3: and so you've seen these two forces that have kind 17 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 3: of been a countervailing force to the contraction that we've 18 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 3: seen in capital markets through tighter interest rates. Probably most 19 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 3: people have been surprised. The question now is how much 20 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 3: longer can this go? How much longer can you have 21 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,319 Speaker 3: government spend in the way we've seen it how much 22 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 3: longer can you run down these pandemic savings? And that's 23 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 3: going to be the story I think of this year, 24 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 3: And in a sense, it's the final normalization of the 25 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 3: post pandemic adjustment. 26 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: So what does that mean you're watching out for this 27 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: year again? You know, we started last year thinking that 28 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: we could see a huge recession in the US. We 29 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: were worried about corporate default, and we haven't seen any 30 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: of that. 31 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 2: That's right. 32 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 3: I think the story in the next few months is 33 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 3: going to be goods inflation is going to continue. 34 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: To drop quite rapidly. 35 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 3: We have no negative numbers, and that you know, basically 36 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: brings down the overall inflation numbers quite dramatically, and as 37 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 3: a result, the markets have now priced in what I 38 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 3: think is probably excessive interest straight cuts in the US. 39 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 3: But that's going to run out at some point. This 40 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 3: is the final leg of the post pandemic adjustment. So 41 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 3: by by year end, I would say we're going to 42 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 3: be done with that, and then goods inflation is no 43 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 3: longer going to drop a service inflation, wage inflation is 44 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 3: still very high, and so I think the story is 45 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 3: going to be, you know, at some point we're going 46 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 3: to realize that it's not that easy to kind of 47 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 3: stabilize the two inflation target. 48 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 2: That central banks are looking for. 49 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 3: And so some of the optimism and rates right now 50 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 3: in the US in particular is probably overdone. 51 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: But so what worst case scenario we don't have as 52 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: many cuts as are being priced in, and also that 53 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: would be during a slowing down of the economy, or 54 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: are you seeing the jobs market to be pretty much resilient. 55 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 3: I think the wages services looks resilient at the moment. 56 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 3: Goods inflation is going to continue to come down. There 57 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 3: is going to be weakness in the economy, there's no 58 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 3: question about that. But I think what central banks will find, 59 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 3: particularly in the US, that they won't have as much 60 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: room to cut as is currently priced in. 61 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 2: I mean, we're sort of priced. 62 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 3: For perfection right now, and you know there's going to 63 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 3: be some readjustment to that. 64 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: Less so in Europe. 65 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 3: I think in Europe the story is in a sense 66 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,679 Speaker 3: clearer than it is in the US for infrastructure. 67 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: So what's the thinking behind that? 68 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 3: Well, you know, look, first of all, I think Larry 69 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 3: always hays culture matters most. So this brings together I 70 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: think two firms, two partners, two leaders that have known 71 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 3: each other for four decades. Cultural fit infrastructure, we believe 72 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 3: is the big story in private markets in the next 73 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 3: ten twenty years. These are long term trends. We know 74 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: that we need to upgrade infrastructure across the world. It 75 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: also is a perfect fit. We have very little overlap 76 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 3: in our existing infrastructure business and the GOP business. And 77 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 3: then finally, I think the transition as one of the 78 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: infrastructure stories is also an interesting piece here where you know, 79 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 3: again there is a lot of synergy between what we 80 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 3: have done and what GIP has done in the past, 81 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 3: and it brings us to scale at infrastructure. We're now 82 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 3: going to be one of the big infrastructure players worldwide. 83 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: So it's very, very exciting. 84 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: So where do you see the most opportunities I guess 85 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: for business or business deals. Is it going to be 86 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: where there's growth and is that the US market compared 87 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: for example, to the agent market, or do you also 88 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: see potential opportunities in Europe. 89 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: I think the global infrastructure story, and it really is 90 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: a global story for many reasons. Right, we have outdated 91 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 3: infrastructure and think of the UK, think of the US 92 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 3: massive need for structure spending. We have the entire transition story, 93 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 3: the energy transition story. You'll hear more about that later 94 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 3: on today. I'm sure that's going to require trillions of investments, 95 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 3: and we have stretched governments. I think this is one 96 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 3: of the key stories that also underpins this transaction that 97 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 3: Larry and Bio announced last week, that you have very 98 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 3: much stretched government. So public private partnerships, particularly in these 99 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 3: vast infrastructure projects, are going to be a very big story. 100 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: And this is something where we want to be part 101 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 3: of it, and so I think that's a great opportunity 102 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 3: both in Europe and in the US as well as 103 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 3: in Asia Francoin. 104 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: So away from infrastructure, maybe a little bit. Is there 105 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: something that you worry that's not being priced incorrectly in 106 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:40,919 Speaker 1: the markets? 107 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 2: Well, at the. 108 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 3: Moment, I think, if anything, I'm a little worried that 109 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 3: we're sort of priced for near perfection, a sort of 110 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 3: almost perfect soft landing where inflation is gone as a problem, 111 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 3: where maybe central banks could even cut in the face 112 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 3: of any kind of potential weakness. I'm certain that what 113 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 3: we're going to find is that inflation has become stickier 114 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 3: than we think or than the market things right now 115 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: for various reasons. We have lower growth, we have very 116 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 3: high government spending, we have a fractured, you know, geopolitical system. 117 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 2: So all this basically raises cost. 118 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 3: And what we're going to find as inflation drops now 119 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 3: mostly driven. 120 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 2: By goods prices. 121 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 3: By the end of the year, we're going to realize 122 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,559 Speaker 3: that it doesn't settle easily at two percent, let alone, 123 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 3: it's something less so that you cut rates. 124 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 2: But I think, you know, more likely we're going. 125 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 3: To settle probably slightly above two percent, which means central 126 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 3: banks are going to have to stay on alert. 127 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: So do you worry about the cost of money, actually 128 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: the cost of credits? And this could be because of 129 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: what we've seen in the last eighteen months, but actually 130 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: it could be also much more structural reasons. 131 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 132 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 3: I mean, look, I think one of the stories of 133 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 3: the last decade really is a lot of investments have 134 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 3: been done by way of financial engineering, and in some 135 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 3: ways we're going to have to get back. This is 136 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 3: another reason why we prefer in structure over private equity. 137 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 3: We're going to have to get back to kind of 138 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 3: macro long term macro trends and realize that financial engineering 139 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 3: when interest rates are higher than they have been for 140 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 3: decades when growth is lower, when government spending is going 141 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 3: to be constrained, financial engineering driven investments are going to 142 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 3: be are going to be much much harder to find, 143 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 3: and so I think in some ways it's a healthy 144 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 3: correction towards in a sense kind of returning to investing 145 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 3: really on fundamentals as opposed to a lot of leverage, 146 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 3: debt and financial engineering. 147 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: When you look at some of the concern across the globe, 148 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: how difficult actually could it be for Switzerland kind of 149 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, getting out of all the bank debacle but 150 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: also attracting global investment. 151 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 3: I think we have a current account circle, so there's 152 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 3: no there's no issue of capital coming in, you know. 153 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 3: In a sense, the banking story is and adjustment. It's 154 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 3: a tragedy should have never happened, but it is what 155 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: it is. And I think the key now the folks 156 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 3: in politics will be how do you make sure that 157 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 3: you have a bank that is this large relative to 158 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 3: the country's economic and financial capability. How do you manage 159 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 3: it from a risk management perspective in a sense that 160 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 3: you don't ever have to get back to a kind 161 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 3: of situation that we had. 162 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 2: With credit spee. 163 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 3: So that will be the focal point I think of 164 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 3: any regulatory reform. 165 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: When you talk about risks. I mean, it's pretty incredible 166 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: to think, you know, of what's happening in the Middle 167 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: East and the fact that the market has barely taken notice. 168 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: Maybe there's a bit of move on the old price, 169 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: but there's a tax. There are drones, there's who these 170 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: there's Yemen, there's Ukraine. We also don't know who becomes 171 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: the next president of the United States. Like, how do 172 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: you deal with all of these unknowns? 173 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: It's hard. 174 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 3: I think that the overall stories that we've moved towards 175 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 3: a much more fragmented a geopolitical system. Therefore a much 176 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,559 Speaker 3: more fragmented global economy that is organized in the sense 177 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 3: in blocks. You know, that means a loss of efficiency, 178 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 3: that means higher cost and probably means unbalanced a lower 179 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: potential growth rate for the global economy. Now, you know, 180 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 3: the focus has to be on maintaining the conflicts and 181 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 3: were possible to try to solve them or stabilize them 182 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 3: in a sense. The good news is that a lot 183 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: of these things are man made, you know, demographics. There's 184 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 3: not much we can do about it that lowers potential 185 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 3: growth fragmentation in a sense we can address. We could 186 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: find a way to stabilize the situation in the Middle East, 187 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 3: We could find a way to ultimately move towards some 188 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 3: sort of ceasefire discussion in Ukraine, and we can you know, 189 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 3: we could stabilize relations between the US and China. So 190 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 3: a lot of this in a sense, has been man 191 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 3: made in recent years. 192 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 2: It's a problem. It weighs on markets, it weighs on the. 193 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 3: Global economy, and hopefully discussions like this can be a 194 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 3: contribution towards lessening these tensions and moving back towards something 195 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 3: that is a little less fragmented than what we currently have. 196 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 3: Is that likely, Well, it's you know, that's I suppose 197 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 3: at some level. The simple answer would be not really 198 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 3: when you look at the current state of play. On 199 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 3: the other hand, the cost of this fragmented system over time, 200 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 3: I think it's going to drive political leaders and political 201 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 3: system towards trying to address those things that we can address. 202 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 3: Some things we can't. Demographics, there's not much we can 203 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 3: do about it. We can hope that perhaps productivity can 204 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: be boosted, whether it's through AI or other means, to 205 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 3: make up for some of it. But there's not much 206 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 3: we can do about it on the fragmented state of 207 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 3: the global economy. In principle, these are things that can 208 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 3: be addressed through good policy making. 209 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: What does a second term President Trump mean for the 210 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: world economy? 211 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 3: Well, this is a you know, Christine Legar talked about 212 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 3: it the other day. I think you're going to see 213 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 3: her later on today. Certainly from a European perspective, from 214 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 3: a kind of globalist Atlantis's perspective, it's of course a 215 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 3: great concern. You know, we've been there before, We've survived it, 216 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 3: so we'll see what it means. I think the question 217 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 3: overall will be does it lead to even more fragmentation. 218 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 2: In the global economy? 219 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 3: And you know, if that's the case, the cost of 220 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 3: that will become quite apparent. 221 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: Who are you most worried about? I mean, is it 222 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: the US economy because of a division? Or is it 223 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: how Europe would deal with the President Trump? 224 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 3: I think that the overall European The big story in 225 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 3: Europe is how does Europe find as sort of a 226 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 3: you know, President of macrom has referred to this as 227 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 3: European sovereignty. How do we find our own place in 228 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 3: this system with less dependency on the US, less dependency 229 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 3: on China, in the space of digitalization, in the space 230 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 3: of finance, frankly, and in the. 231 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 2: Space of security. 232 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 3: And security of course is the one place where the 233 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 3: dependency in a sense is most pronounced. So I think 234 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 3: Europe has a if it wants to be an independent 235 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 3: power in a sense, it has decades of very hard 236 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 3: work ahead of itself to find this, this sovereign space 237 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 3: in a sense, this in this fragmented world. 238 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: Philip, thank you so much for joining us today.
