Alright, Michael, thank you. 260 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: It is five nineteen on Wall Street live from the 261 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Interactive Broker Studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak, and five 262 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: nineteen means we are about one hour and forty one 263 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: minutes away from a policy decision from the Bank of England. 264 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: In just that stretch of time, we find out if 265 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: the bo E joins the long list of countries fighting 266 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: inflation with more aggressive interest rate hikes. Ahead of that, 267 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: we're joined by Dan Hansen, senior UK economist at Bloomberg Economics. 268 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: Dan good Morn think the consensus is that the BOE 269 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: will go ahead with a fifty basis point hike. But 270 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: after the last several months of smaller increases, what are 271 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: the chances we get another downside surprise? Oh, good morning. 272 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: So I think I think the chance of a downside 273 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: surprise quite low. Actually, I think I think that the 274 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: bank has set itself up self up for this for 275 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: this big move. If you remember, back in the middle 276 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: of July, Andrew Bailey in his mention how speech put 277 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: a fifty basis point point hike firmly on the table, 278 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: and I think they're going to follow through today. What's 279 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: the risk that fifty basis point hike brings the UK 280 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: closer to a recession or is the UK in a 281 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: recession already. That's a really good question. I mean, I 282 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: think the big thing in the UK at the moment 283 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: is this cost of living squeeze. So we've got sky 284 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: high inflation and incomes just aren't keeping keeping up. And 285 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: I think what the Bank's doing, it's it's doing its 286 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: best to keep inflation at expectations in check um, and 287 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: that's why we're seeing these this move towards a faster 288 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: pace of rate hikes. I mean, answer to your question directly, 289 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: I don't think we're in recession just yet, um, but 290 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: there is a significant risk of it, particularly around the 291 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: turn of the year. And actually that will be one 292 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: of the things we'll be watching for the bank. From 293 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: the Bank today, I should say they're they're gonna be 294 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: putting out new forecasts and it's it's possible a forecast 295 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: or recession in the near term. Yeah. There's a debate 296 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: here in this country, of course, about whether inflation expectations 297 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: are moving toward a situation where we're seeing less less 298 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: inflation now that federal reserve policy is starting to have 299 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: an impact. Is the situation a little different in the 300 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: UK now? Is inflation getting more entrenched? Yeah, So there's 301 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: been a few surveys recently that suggested the expectations have 302 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: drifted higher. I mean, one thing about the UK as 303 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: well is that we're likely to get a peak of 304 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: Our peak for inflation is likely to come a little 305 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: bit later, and that's to do with the way energy 306 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: prices are set. So we're we're likely to see our 307 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 1: peak for inflation in towards the end of this year, 308 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: probably in October, and it will be likely in double 309 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: digits as well, so probably around twelve so probably a 310 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: higher peak than the US as well. So that's one 311 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: reason to think that the Bank of England's going to 312 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: keep its foot on the break and continue tightening just 313 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: until it sees sees through the peak and sees sort 314 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: of strong evidence that inflation is coming back down, which 315 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: is only really likely to happen sort of in the 316 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,199 Speaker 1: middle of next year, given that you're expecting that we 317 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: could see a forecast for recession from the b o 318 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: E later this morning. How has the bank's outlook panned 319 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: out in the past. I mean, there is some concern 320 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: that the b o E has been behind the curve 321 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: when it comes to tackling this cut stuff having crisis. Now, yeah, 322 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: that is true. That is something that has been leveled 323 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: at the bank. I mean, one thing I'd say in 324 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 1: their defense is that they started tightening earlier than other 325 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: advanced economy central banks, so they do have that in 326 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 1: their favor. And I also think that neutral rate in 327 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 1: the the UK, so the rate that sort of neither 328 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: speeds up nor slows down the economy is a little 329 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: bit lower as well, so they've probably they're probably closer 330 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: to that level than certainly the e c B is 331 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: um and we know the Fed is sort of thinks 332 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: it's around that level now um. But I think certainly 333 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: on the forecast they've been hugely surprised when inflation um 334 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: and they've if you look back sort of even a 335 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: year ago, they were thinking the peak for inflation was 336 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 1: going to be around four percent, and I think today 337 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: they'll probably say it's somewhere close to twelve percent. So 338 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: that's that's a pretty big forecast there, along with the 339 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: rate high decision. We're also expecting to get a little 340 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: bit more clarity on what the bo he is going 341 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: to do about its balance sheet in our last minute 342 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: here Dan, what are the expectations there? So what the 343 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: bank has done is it it's it's sort of taking 344 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: a two step process. So the first thing it did 345 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 1: in February was end reinvestment of government bonds, so when 346 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: when the guilts redeem, they don't reinvest those proceeds. And 347 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: they've been they've been doing that since February. Well, they're 348 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: gonna start doing now or I should say, set out 349 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: more detail on how they will go about active sales 350 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 1: um and we'll be looking for that today. I mean, 351 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: as I say it will be it will be more 352 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: around the detail. It won't be around um. They won't 353 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,479 Speaker 1: have any sort of votes on it, and that's going 354 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: to come probably in September, possibly a little bit later. 355 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: But we'll just be looking for looking for the pace 356 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: and how quickly they they're going to reduce their balance sheet. 357 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: Andrew Baby sort of set expectations that they think it 358 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: will be somewhere between fifty and a hundred billion pounds 359 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: in terms of the reduction, the annual reduction in the 360 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: balance sheet in the first year of QTI.

I don't want to say it's impossible, 399 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: but it seems like that's a very unlikely scenario right now, 400 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: given what I know about the underlying inflation dynamics. The 401 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: more likely scenario is we would continue raising and then 402 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: we would sit there.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak 609 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: and Bloomberg Government Congressional reporter Jack Fitzpatrick is with us 610 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: from our Bloomberg studios in Washington, d C. As we 611 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: continued to my under developments around how speaker Nancy Pelosi's 612 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: trip through Asia. As Michael bar just mentioned, the speaker 613 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: is now in South Korea, but a lot of attention 614 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 1: is still around Taiwan with China now conducting live fire 615 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: missile drills. Jack, good morning. What is the reaction to 616 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: what is happening between China and Taiwan. Now, well, it's 617 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: a very significant reaction. As you said, there are the 618 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: missile drills that China is conducting, uh that we haven't 619 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: gotten exact update on how long they're going to go, 620 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: but the original estimate was they were going to go 621 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: through Sunday, So that could continue and continue to be 622 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: a disruption uh, potentially for flights into Taiwan or out 623 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: of Taiwan, another activity around there. And then of course 624 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: the congressional reaction is also a significant one. There has 625 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: been a pushback from the White House uh, towards a 626 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: bill that would treat Taiwan as a non NATO ally 627 00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: of the US, essentially formalizing the relation and ship that's 628 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: already there. Uh. That was supposed to get a committee 629 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: vote in the Senate yesterday, that got pushed back, and 630 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: if if they continue working on it, maybe even having 631 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 1: to rewrite it is at least delayed because of White 632 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 1: House concerns about the message that that would send, delayed 633 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: until at least after the August recess for Congress. So 634 00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,240 Speaker 1: politically some ramifications here, uh, And of course the Chinese 635 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 1: response is a very significant one. What is the White 636 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: House pushed back to this idea of designating Taiwan as 637 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: a non NATO ally. I mean they've basically been treated 638 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: that way for decades, right, yes, yeah, this would essentially 639 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: formalize the relationship that has existed already. The issue seems 640 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:54,439 Speaker 1: to be, uh, the timing how we communicate that. That's 641 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: not the only thing in the bill, it does seem 642 00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: to be the most objectionable part of it to the 643 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: White House, there's a there are a few billion dollars, 644 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: but four and a half billion dollars in security AID. Um. 645 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,280 Speaker 1: You know, it seems the issue is less the US 646 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:15,399 Speaker 1: relationship with Taiwan and the timing of putting forth legislation, uh, 647 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: formalizing that on the heels of this trip by Nancy 648 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: Pelosi to Taiwan at a time when China is uh, 649 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: the Chinese government is pushing back as hard as possible 650 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 1: on that and trying to send a message. It seems 651 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 1: like this trip by Pelosi has sort of left some 652 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: daylight between her and the White House. How much of 653 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: a rift is there now between the Speaker and the President. 654 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,800 Speaker 1: There definitely seems to be some frustration, uh, you know, 655 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: on on one hand, the President has been asked about 656 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,959 Speaker 1: this a while back. He said, Look, the military had 657 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: said that they didn't think this was a good idea, 658 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: that they had concerns. It may not just be a 659 00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden issue. It could be really 660 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 1: between Pelosi and more the administration's security apparatus, the military 661 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: leaders who had concerns about this. We don't necessarily have 662 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 1: uh feedback that Biden himself is outraged by this necessarily, 663 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 1: but there are a lot of people who had had 664 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 1: a lot of chores to do. I guess you could say, 665 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 1: based on Pelosi deciding to make this trip on her own, 666 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 1: this was her decision. It was not really supported uh 667 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: necessarily by the Biden administration, and that has um if not, 668 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:39,799 Speaker 1: created a rift. Clearly they've had to openly discuss their 669 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: differences on how to approach this. All right, and we'll 670 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: continue watching as a speaker Pelosi continues making her way 671 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: through Asia Bloomberg Government Congressional reporter Jack Fitzpatrick, thanks for 672 00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,320 Speaker 1: joining us to get us the very latest on that, Karen. 673 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: But it's five fifty three on Wall Street.

Republicans in 676 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,240 Speaker 1: Congress are seizing on the nonpartisan analysis of the Democrats 677 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: Inflation Reduction Act to claim it would raise taxes on 678 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,879 Speaker 1: people making as little as ten thousand dollars a year. 679 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,359 Speaker 1: The plan includes a fifteen percent corporate minimum tax, which 680 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: would not raise lower and middle class taxes, but could 681 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: see companies past those costs. On x On Mobiles lost 682 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:28,280 Speaker 1: its fight to claim a one and a half billion 683 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: dollar tax refund from the i R S and golfers 684 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: led by Phil Michelson are suing the p G A 685 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,280 Speaker 1: charging at broke anti trust law by trying to crush 686 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 1: the Saudi back to live golf tour.

Another 690 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 1: legal story that we're watching. It's the longest sentence yet 691 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: for one of the capital rioters. A judge sentence sky Refit, 692 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 1: a member of the Exist three per centers group, two 693 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: more than seven years in prison for obstructing Congress and 694 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 1: threatening his two children to keep them quiet. Refit's case 695 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,839 Speaker 1: attracted widespread attention because he was turned in by his son, 696 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,360 Speaker 1: who then became the government's star witness against him. For 697 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,800 Speaker 1: more Bloomberg, jun Grosso speaks to Jimmy Garoule, her professor 698 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,400 Speaker 1: had notre Dame law school. Raffit argued for no more 699 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: than two years in prison, saying most, if not all, 700 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 1: defendants who received longer sentences had committed far worse crimes 701 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,719 Speaker 1: like assaulting police officers. And it's true that a man 702 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 1: who pleaded guilty to assaulting a police officer with a 703 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 1: fire extinguisher got five years, which was the longest sentence 704 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: before Refits. I think there are a couple of aggravating 705 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: factors here with respect to Refit. One is that when 706 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: he traveled from Texas to Washington, d C. To participate 707 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: in the insurrection, he brought with him a a R 708 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,880 Speaker 1: fifteen style rifle and a forty caliber semi automatic handgun. 709 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: She was armed with a weapon. And then he participated 710 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,720 Speaker 1: in obstruction of justice with respect to the threats directed 711 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: at his children that if they cooperated, if they disclosed 712 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 1: his activities to law enforcement, that they would be considered 713 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 1: traders in his words, and everyone knows what happens to traders, 714 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 1: you know, he stated, so if the implication was that 715 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: he would kill his children, yeah, I think the judge 716 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 1: took note of that. Prosecutors and defense lawyers were watching 717 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: this trial to see how the obstruction charge would hold 718 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:36,560 Speaker 1: up because it's rarely used, but it's central to the 719 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: cases that are coming up. Well. Instruction charge here is 720 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 1: unique because the focuses on the congressional proceedings and the 721 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 1: certification of the electoral votes, and this was an attempt 722 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 1: to interfere with that process. Here, the evidence was compelling 723 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: because was based largely on his own words communicated through 724 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:04,360 Speaker 1: tech messages, emails that clearly indicated what his intent was. 725 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if the judge was sending a message when 726 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,800 Speaker 1: she said a message to others when she said that 727 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: his sentence would have been two years less if he 728 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 1: had pleaded guilty. I think that's implicit. I think that 729 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: there was certainly that message sent by the judge as 730 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,760 Speaker 1: well as a message being sent by the prosecution. Again, 731 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 1: the prosecution was seeking a sentence of fifteen years in prison, 732 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,959 Speaker 1: and here, while the judge didn't post such a severe sense, 733 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: it still was a significant sentense a little over seven years, 734 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: and so I'm certain that other defendants, other individuals that 735 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 1: were involved in the January six insurrection are taking note. 736 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 1: I think the lawyers representing them are taking note. And 737 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: the question is, you know, do we want to run 738 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 1: that risk of going to trial, being convicted of multiple felonies, 739 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 1: facing the prospect of spending several years in prison, or 740 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: is the better course to inner a guilty plea, cooperate 741 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,200 Speaker 1: with the government and receive a much lighter sent Ye 742 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,839 Speaker 1: and as Jimmy ger Rule are professor at Notre Dame 743 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: Law School speaking at the Bloomberg Student Grosso.
