Speaker 1: half percent. They gained twelve percent on the open and

10
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: Trade Desk is an online auction platform for digital advertising.

11
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: Here to tell us about it is the chief executive,

12
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: Jeff Green. Jeff, thanks very much for being with us. Oh,

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: thank you. Excited to be here all right. Well, congratulations

14
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: about today's earnings report. The market seems to be loving it.

15
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: It's up about Your stock is up about two after

16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: being up more than ten percent in early trading. How

17
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: do you describe your company to people that are not

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: familiar with the inner workings of internet advertising? So we

19
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: essentially help advertisers and especially their agencies by everything except

20
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: for Google and Facebook. So there's this giant Internet that

21
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: powers TV and radio and things like Spotify that also

22
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: have ads on them. Uh. And so instead of just

23
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: trying to monetize Google and Facebook, we're helping them get

24
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: ads on the rest of the Internet. How do you

25
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: help them get those ads? Well, so what what they

26
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: do is they'll come up with the creative but UH,

27
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: figuring out like what is Yahoo worth to them compared

28
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: to what is Spotify worth to them compared to what

29
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,559
Speaker 1: is CBS dot com worth to them is a really

30
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: hard assignment. So we give them technology that helps them

31
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: figure out where they should spend and what they should

32
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: pay and how they should allocate. Now you have a

33
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: you're a veteran of the advertising industry. You sold one company,

34
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: I believe to Microsoft. What the what propelled you to

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: to start trade desk and how is it different? Yeah?

36
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: So the last business that I created is uh was

37
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: an ad exchange. So you can think of that like

38
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: the New York Stock Exchange. UM. So, we we built

39
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: this exchange and once it became inevitable that ads would

40
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: actually be traded through these exchanges, which, as your listeners, no,

41
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: exchanges are a great great way to get price discovery

42
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: and liquidity. Once that model became inevitable. What we, instead

43
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: of being exchange wanted to build was a platform to

44
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: help people participate on the exchanges. So let's give them

45
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: the text so that they know, uh, what to buy,

46
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: where to buy it, and we can make more money

47
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: and add more value that well, we're gonna yeah, that's

48
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: where I want to go with the with the money

49
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: for a second, because there is a range. For example,

50
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: I understand, let's say you have inventor advertising inventory that

51
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: costs fifteen dollars per CPU, right, per thousand impressions. But

52
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: let's say you're sold out of that in your at inventory,

53
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: what would you do? Well, So it's a really really

54
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: big internet, right, So there, Uh, if if you didn't

55
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: have a video available on on Yahoo, um, there will

56
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: be one on a o L. There will be one

57
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: on somewhere else. And so one thing that is actually

58
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: really works in our favor is that we only help buyers.

59
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: Were just in the business of helping buyers decide what

60
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: to buy. So we're on the buy side, and there's

61
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of other companies that focus on the cell side.

62
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: But because and unfortunately all of us as consumers know this, uh,

63
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: it is actually not that hard to create more supply

64
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: of ads on the internet. As soon as you get

65
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: close to sold out, you can just throw another on

66
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: the page, throw another thirty second spot in a commercial break.

67
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: And so because of that phenomenon, we've predicted that it

68
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: will always be a buyer's market because there will always

69
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: be more supply than there is demand. And as a result,

70
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: that helps our business always sort of be in the

71
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 1: power position. And does that also mean that targeted ads

72
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: and programmatic UH content is worth more too specific advertisers, Oh,

73
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: without a doubt in fact, that that's the future. So

74
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: in the future, there will be fewer ads, they will

75
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: be way more relevant. Consumers won't hate them as much

76
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: because they'll all be something that they're interested in. That

77
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: means that advertisers waste less money. It means that publishers

78
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: make more money. UH. Where the advertising industry is heading

79
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: and frankly where we're taking it is a much better

80
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: world than the one that we have today. But with

81
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: that comes higher ices for for my clients, which will

82
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: gladly pay because it's more effective than the increased costs.

83
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: Are there any misconcert maybe what's the largest misconception that

84
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: people have about the way the online ad business works,

85
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: and particularly about how the referrals based on your viewing

86
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: pattern or your activity the suggested stories. Is there something

87
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: that people really need to know behind the scenes. Um so,

88
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is just that Google and

89
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: Facebook get a lot of credit for being amazing companies.

90
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: I do think they're unbelievable companies. I mean, Facebook has

91
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: done a better job of building advertising on ramps. They

92
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: power millions of advertisers. Google has done the same thing.

93
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: In fact, I've said many times I think Google is

94
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: the greatest invention of our lifetime. It's just changed the

95
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: way information is distributed. But both of those companies primarily

96
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: focus on monetizing their own properties. Right. They monetize Facebook

97
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: dot com, Google dot com, and YouTube dot home. And

98
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: so what many people don't know or or haven't really

99
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: thought about is how does the rest of the Internet

100
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: get monetized and where we come in as we just say, hey,

101
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: we're an objective player that doesn't own any media. We

102
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: don't own, right, You're just working on behalf of your

103
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: of your clients to place the ads where they where

104
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: they need to be. Thanks, very interesting, Thank you very much.

105
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: Jeff Green is the chief executive of the trade desk.

106
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: You can follow them on the symbolist t t D.

107
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: The shares of Facebook are up more than so far

108
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: this well, the shares are j C. Penny are down

109
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: more than sixteen percent this morning. And uh, well that

110
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: should tell you almost everything you need to know about

111
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: the industry. Craig Johnson, though, is here. He's the president

112
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: of Customer Growth Partners based in New Canaan, Connecticut. And Craig,

113
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: all right, so we know that j C. Penny is down.

114
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: We've heard the news from Macy's, from Coals, from Dillard's.

115
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: List goes on, are we at a bottom? Well, we

116
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: do think the sector's bottoming. PIM is nice as to

117
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: catch up, by the way, and so, um, here's the

118
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: sector that for years has been bleeding market share. Uh.

119
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: This year sales are down about five year of a

120
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: year to date um uh. And that is while the

121
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: retail sector overall is growing about three and a half

122
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: maybe four. So you do the math. That's when you're

123
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: growing slower than the market, you're going to be losing

124
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: market share. Um. And so we think, however, because many

125
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: of the stores are taking steps to reduce cost and

126
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: to shrink their square footage, footprint. Um, they're able to

127
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: get cost and sales more in line. And when you

128
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 1: match up supply demand, uh, that is the first step

129
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: to bottoming. And then you've got to shrink first and

130
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: then grow later. Who do you believe is doing the

131
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: best job right now? You you you listen, you know,

132
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: four or five papers companients ago, But in this sector,

133
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: Nordstrom continues to set the pace. Now. The one thing

134
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: they do share with all the other players, whether J. C.

135
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: Penney or Macy's or whoever, is that store only comps

136
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: from the full line, the full price Nords and sources

137
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: about those are still comping negative, slightly negative in nordstrom sake.

138
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: Tough to get away from that. But what they've done

139
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: is Nordstrom dot Com, the Rack, Nords from Rack, the

140
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: Rack dot com outlook, et cetera. They're different portals of

141
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: reaching the customer are all otherwise positive and so that's

142
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: why they are able to pull together, you know, pretty

143
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: solid positive overall comp at Nords from and you know,

144
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: gave pretty positive signals relative to going forward. All right,

145
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: So alright, Nordstrom maybe an example of elite in how

146
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: to fix things? Are they also part of this mall.

147
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: This trend in what's going on in malls because you

148
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: hear about all the mall is dead and so on,

149
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: but hasn't traffic kind of come back to the mall. Well,

150
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: that's exactly right, that's what we're seeing. Um Uh. The

151
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: mall traffic has been has been declining for you know,

152
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 1: a good couple of years now, and this year until

153
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: you know, until about the fourth of July was down

154
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: about six percent by us maybe six seven uh for

155
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: for traditional malls. Uh. What we have seen is that

156
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: that six percent hasn't inflected positive It's not certainly plaus

157
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: six percent, but instead it's gone throughout minus six to

158
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: about minus three as of July. So again we have

159
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: to make sure that's sustained over time. But it's some

160
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: of the best traffic year of year traffic that we've seen,

161
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: um uh, you know, in in going on a year.

162
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's it's a positive sign. But by

163
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: no means or malls out of the woods yet. And

164
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: back to school, how is that going to play out? Well,

165
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: we're right at the peak of the back to school

166
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: season now start in July and it peaks in in

167
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: in early mid August. Uh, and so far that's actually

168
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: shaping up pretty well, as I'm sure you know, for

169
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: department stores, it's a key uh selling season, you know,

170
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: number two behind um um uh, you know, behind Holiday.

171
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: But for the specialty stores, uh and then the big

172
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: box stores which as such as you know Walmart, you know,

173
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: Target and so forth, this is a very big season.

174
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: And so far, you know, it's still you know, we're

175
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: just not quite the halfway point of it, but it's uh,

176
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: it seems to be on track. It seems to be

177
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: doing pretty well. Well. How do you expect, I know,

178
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna get results Home, the Home Depot, Target, Walmart

179
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: and so on, t j X, H. What what's your

180
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: outlook for those companies? Well, we're the particular companies I

181
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: mentioned we're pretty optimistic on and you know, one of

182
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: the things we say to our clients is that don't

183
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: don't read too much into the overall retail sector from

184
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: the department stores, which are there only one point six

185
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: percent of the market. But you get companies like you know,

186
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: Walmart and and and UH and and Home Depot and

187
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: the Lows and t j X and Ross all reporting

188
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: over the next week or so, and the numbers are

189
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: almost always going to almost gonna be uniformly positive. Um,

190
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: you know, Walmart is slowly coming back to health. It

191
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: may not be the heavy growth days of the early

192
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: two thousand's, but the home improvement guys Home Depot and

193
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: Lows Home Depot particularly, and secondly low As are doing

194
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: quite nicely. And then t J is the whole off

195
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: price sector. And again t J's and Ross both report

196
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: this coming week. Uh, they're both going to have solid numbers,

197
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: and that sector is is gaining as much share as

198
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: the department store is losing in the apparel arena. Well,

199
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: just to give the perspective of Walmart shares, they're up

200
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: sevent so far this year. Craig, you do a lot

201
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: of traveling, You do a lot of looking and talking

202
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: to people around the world about retail. Can you tell

203
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: us about some geographical anecdotal information that maybe we'll highlight

204
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: trends or tell you what is going on? What have

205
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: you seen that has caught your attention? Well, you know,

206
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: and so you know, we have a team of eighteen

207
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: people you know here in the across the US, and

208
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: then you know, one researcher in London, and uh, we're

209
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: seeing an overall retail sector that seems to be um

210
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: coming back into health. It's maybe not back into full

211
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: bloom yet um, but we're seeing some of the best

212
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: uh traffic and sales trends that we had in sometimes

213
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: the In the US, the growth is relatively balanced. There's

214
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit stronger growth in the on the

215
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: west coast, number one, and in the the whole southern

216
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: tier you know, Florida, you know, the the Caroline is

217
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, over to Texas, etcetera. And that's where we're

218
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: a lot of the you know, the really most row

219
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: bus growth has been. But you know, the Northeast is

220
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: not like the Northeast or the Midwest or down It's

221
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: just that the the other sectors that I mentioned are

222
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: you really uh um, you know, really coming on quite strong.

223
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: What about merchandizing, the actual merchandise, the trends, the fashion.

224
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: Is there something in particular other than a new iPhone

225
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: that you've seen the people really want. Well, the single

226
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: hottest item right now it is in the electronics sector,

227
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: and that's the Nintendo switch, and so that continues to

228
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: be in short supply. This is whether you try to

229
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: get it best by your target or Walmart and they

230
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: simply have not been able to keep up with the demand.

231
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: That's that's proven to be a real hot number in

232
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: the fashion arena. You know, we're we're getting towards unit

233
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: of the summer now, but it's been a very good

234
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: sandal season. Um. There's something called the cold shoulder look

235
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: uh that a lot of the women, including younger women

236
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: are are are going for that. Tell us where did

237
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: that come from? And maybe define it for those that

238
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: I don't know what it means. Is it's a garment,

239
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: it's a top um, although it could be addressed that

240
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: where the shoulders are exposed. Um, but fabric continues, you know,

241
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: down your down your arm some distance. So there's it's

242
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: like there's a cutout around your shoulder. Um, and where

243
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: did that come from? It you've now moved beyond my paper, Okay,

244
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: but this is this is the hot trend. It's something

245
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: but right now it's been out there for about a

246
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: year now and some none of these trends come and goes,

247
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: and we're anticipately that one that one may not make

248
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: it very far into the fall and winter. I'll put

249
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: it that way. Clearly, Well, the winter is not gonna

250
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: make it happen. And what's the last thing that Craig

251
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: Johnson bought for himself. I never buy anything for myself

252
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: in Paris, socks or something that I buy. I buy

253
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: a few things here that I'm not a big shopper.

254
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: I'm in retail, but I hate shopping well, said Craig

255
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: Johnson is the president of Customer Growth Partners. He joins

256
00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: us from New Canaan, Connecticut. President Donald Trump stepping up

257
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: his campaign of pressure on North Korea, warning the regime

258
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,479
Speaker 1: not to follow through with a missile test near Guam

259
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: and promising massive response to any strike against the United

260
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: States or its allies. Here to tell us more, as

261
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: Bill ferries, he is our national security reporter for Bloomberg News,

262
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: and he joins us from Washington, d C. Bill, thank

263
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: you for spending time with us. Can I just pick

264
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: up on this idea of allies? Uh? Because I'm wondering.

265
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: You know, we hear obviously the response from a President Trump,

266
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 1: but what has been the position of the U. S

267
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: allies that are in the region, South Korea, Japan and

268
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: so on. Sure? Thanks for having me, pam Uh. The

269
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: initial reaction this week as all of this started to

270
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: heat up was really um, a little more muted. I

271
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: think there's still UH and and actually you're seeing that

272
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: from some of the President's aids as well. There's still

273
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: this idea that hey, it was it was just a

274
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: week ago that the U. N. Security Council, you know,

275
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: unanimously passed UH these much tougher sanctions on North Korea.

276
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: Diplomacy seems to be working. UM, let's give that a

277
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: little bit more time. UM. And obviously, you know, a

278
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: thing like sanctions that does take a while to uh

279
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: to take effects. So I think a lot of UH,

280
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have been caught off

281
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: guard by this public war of words. UH. Some analysts

282
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: we talked to will say that, uh, that Trump's comments

283
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: and and actually the North Korean comments, that these are

284
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: a lot of signaling to UH to China to really

285
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: get much more engaged. As we know, the President has

286
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: really publicly pressured China to do all it's all it

287
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: can to reign in the North Korean regime. Bill what

288
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: are the relationships like between South Korea, Japan, China, the

289
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: United States, Australia of course involved the Philippines there, What

290
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: kinds of relationships exist that could make this UH situation

291
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: a little less less fraud. Well, the United States is

292
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: really kind of the glue that UH that keeps UH

293
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 1: South Korea and Japan UM in in this alliance. UH.

294
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: The Australians have already come out and said that you know,

295
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: they will they will support the US and any kind

296
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: of a conflict there. The US, you know, every year

297
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: regularly hosts a lot of military drills with its allies

298
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: in Southeast Asia. I believe some of those are actually scheduled,

299
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: and they've been long scheduled, but they're they're scheduled for

300
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: next week. A lot of effort goes into kind of

301
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: getting the militaries to be able to communicate and coordinate

302
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: together so that they're ready if this kind of a

303
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: situation UM takes place. Now, I would just point out,

304
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, I realized tensions are high and the war

305
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: of words has gotten pretty heated. UM. But you know,

306
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: one one sign to me that there's no sort of

307
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,199
Speaker 1: imminent conflict is that Secretary Defense Secretary Maddis is been

308
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: on this tour of the West coast uh in Seattle.

309
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: He was with Amazon in uh In in a Silicon

310
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: valley today. I think he's going to Google's headquarters, and

311
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: he has not cut short this trip. He's continuing on

312
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: with a focus on technology issues. If he were to

313
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: suddenly jump on his plane and have, you know, flown

314
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: back to Washington, I'd be a lot more alarmed about

315
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: what's going on at this point. Not to minimize the

316
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: situation we're in, but that's, you know, one of these

317
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: things that people should keep their eyes on. Well indeed,

318
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: I mean he was speaking at a Pentagon facility in

319
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: Mountain View, California, and I believe he said that diplomatic

320
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: efforts are quote gaining traction. Uh, so there is a

321
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: lot of diplomatic activity that we do not know about.

322
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: Is that correct? Well, exactly, I think it was. It

323
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: was a little unclear. I think he was partly referring

324
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: to the UN sanctions just last weekend. We do know

325
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: that NICKI Haley, the U S Ambassador to the u N,

326
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: will be meeting with President Trump in New Jersey today. Uh.

327
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of speculation about what what they may

328
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: be discussing, but it would would be surprising at all

329
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: if there's a little bit more of an effort at

330
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: the at the U N to keep keep everyone on

331
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: board and uh, and to look at any other potential measures.

332
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: The president's tweet this morning that the United States you know,

333
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: is locked and loaded. Uh. You know, I would add

334
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: to that too, that he said, if Kim does anything,

335
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: we're ready. UM. To me, that was a sign that

336
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: the US is not looking at some sort of a

337
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: preemptive strike. Now. As someone that you know, you you've

338
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: lived and traveled all over the world, and you have

339
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: a perspective that is not just let's say, US centric,

340
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 1: What do countries or diplomats that you've been able to uh,

341
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: you know, ascertain what has been their reaction to this, uh,

342
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,120
Speaker 1: this situation, because I mean, this is not the kind

343
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: of thing that just ends up being contained in a

344
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: small part of the world, perhaps, right. I think there's

345
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: just a lot of surprise at the president's strategy, if

346
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: we wanna, if we want to call it that I

347
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: guess to be so public. I mean, every US president,

348
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: every administration going back for twenty years, has dealt with

349
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: some very over the top rhetoric and taunting from North Korea,

350
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: and they've tended to ignore that in the past or

351
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 1: you know, let it reflect a lot more on uh,

352
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: North Korea than on anyone else. I think everyone's just

353
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: surprised that for the first time we're seeing US president

354
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: coming out so aggressively, uh, in a style that really

355
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: to some looks like the communication style of the North

356
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: Korean regime. And just to give us the update, I mean,

357
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: what kind of resources military resources currently exist or maybe

358
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: even threatened by North Korea, because I believe the President

359
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: even tweeted something from the U. S. Pacific Command today

360
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: about B one bombers. Sure, you know, as far as

361
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: we can tell, there hasn't been any significant deployment of

362
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: new forces to the region. So the President tweeted about

363
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: the B one bombers and Guam, Uh, those have long

364
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: been stationed there. They replaced a squadron of B fifty

365
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: two bombers that were that kind of got phased out. Uh.

366
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: You know, the military has as forces deployed all through

367
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,479
Speaker 1: the Pacific and through Southeast Asia. There's I think, uh

368
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: about thirty thousand US troops in South Korea. We have

369
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: a lot of naval forces that go through that region.

370
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: You might remember, I think earlier this year, it might

371
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,239
Speaker 1: have been in March or April, when tensions heated with

372
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: North Korea. The President deployed very publicly said he was

373
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: deploying a new a second aircraft carrier battle group to

374
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: the region. And then we found out a nuclear submarine

375
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: was also in the region. We found out because the

376
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: Pentagon basically put out a statement saying nuclear sub just stocked.

377
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: We gotta leave it there. But thank you very much

378
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: for your thoughts and your insight. Bill Ferries are a

Speaker 1: Thanks for being with me, Thanks Tim, thanks for having

388
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: me on. Where do you want to start? Let's start

389
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: with cars, Okay, I mean, I'm I've been looking at

390
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: this nine Ferrari long knows and that's just one of

391
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 1: the ferraris that you've got. How many of you have

392
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: a going on the auction block. We're going to have

393
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: over forty Ferraris hit the block in Monterey. Uh, that's

394
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: a neat car, neat story behind that to long knows

395
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: it's it's a car that's been in the same ownership

396
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: for over forty five years and in the collectible mark it.

397
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: You know, you don't see many cars that are that

398
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: are coming off that long of ownership. What are the

399
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: estimates for this? Uh, car like this should be somewhere

400
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: right up at two million to We're estimated at one

401
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: point nine to two point two. Now you mentioned the

402
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: pedigree of the automobile that it was in a single

403
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: owner's hands for forty five years. Maybe just tell people

404
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: the pedigree is relevant, the mileage is relevant. What they

405
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: call matching numbers. How does this all figure into the

406
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: actual value of this asset? There's there's so many things

407
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,239
Speaker 1: to start looking at. Is when you get to the

408
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: pecking order of where car fits into the collectibility standpoint.

409
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: And the one thing I tell people the you can't

410
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: UH ownership history and being in long long term, well

411
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: known collections is one of the best of things to

412
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 1: have for for any car um for one person to

413
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: have it it. It really solidifies that there's uh, there's

414
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: no stories behind the car and and it is what

415
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: it is. Well, one story behind a group of cars

416
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: that I think are coming up to auction. There is

417
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: the rock star, late rock star Jay Giles colling about

418
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: that collection. Uh. You know, everybody knows uh Jay Giles

419
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: as the rock star, but in our hobby, he was

420
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: known as one of the top Ferrari mechanics of his time,

421
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: UM and sportcar mechanics. So that was his other real passion.

422
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: And UH, to be able to offer his his collection

423
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: after his passing, uh, it's really special to our company

424
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: and we're really excited to be able to do it

425
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: this year. One of the automobiles a sixty one Ferrari

426
00:24:54,720 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: to T unique car another orneat Ferrari. Uh. You know

427
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: when when you're talking uh Ferrari's, it's it's really a

428
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: entry level collectible in that uh to sev range. You

429
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: know a lot of those sixties Ferraris. You start getting

430
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: into seven figure cars and what do you find that?

431
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: Because I know he's also got you got to do Katti,

432
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: So he's also got motorcycles and I believe what racing suits.

433
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: I mean, so the whole memorabilia and collectibles is not

434
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: just in the automobile. It's it's everything. It's it's everything

435
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: that he put together over the years. He was into

436
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: so many different things, UH, sports cars, sports bikes, racing. UH,

437
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 1: just just a lifetime of collecting. So what have you

438
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: seen in the market, Because we ran an article in

439
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Business Week saying that in certain areas of the

440
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: collectible car market there's a little bit of softness. There's

441
00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: there's been a little bit of softness in UH certain areas,

442
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: but we've also seen a lot of growth in certain areas. UH.

443
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: The American American built market right now is on fire.

444
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: We just had our sale in Harrisburg last week and

445
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: we sold to UH to Mopar wing cars UM for

446
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: for very high prices that cars like that haven't seen

447
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: in eighteen months. All right, Well, good luck with the

448
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: with the auction, and good luck with the Ferra. Much appreciated.
