WEBVTT - Surveillance: Monetary Policy Tools Are Ineffective, Kelly Says

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane Jay Ley.

0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:17.560
<v Speaker 1>We bring you insight from the best in economics, finance, investment,

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>and international relations. Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud,

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg dot Com, and of course on the Bloomberg I'm

0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>about a single bust chart right now. We'll do this

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>with David Kelly, Chief Global Strategy is to JPMorgan and

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>he mentioned earlier in the hour the sea word courage,

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>the courage to act. Let's look at a single bust

0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>chart which defines how lonely Europe is right now. This

0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 1>is Swiss twenty year with a normal yield. Here in

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>August of two thousand and seven, the great deflation, we

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>flatten and we've just ron over again. And I would

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>suggest David that this is a linkage of courage into

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>eerie and not only for the ECB, but for all

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>of us. The theory of how we've extricated ourselves from

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>this crisis is really under test. Oh yes, it is

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 1>because one of the things that's happened, you know, there

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>there are things that are pushed down in faction of

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.839
<v Speaker 1>the long run, including information technology. One of the big

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>things is QUI basically causes as surprises go up more

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>than real output um. It also tends to help push

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.959
<v Speaker 1>income towards upper income individuals. The snag is upper income

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.919
<v Speaker 1>individuals don't spend the money exactly. And so what happens

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.200
<v Speaker 1>is you produce a hundred dollars worth of output, you

0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>produce a hundred dollars income with it, but the income

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't actually come around by the output. So this, this

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>process of actually this growing wealth gap and growing income

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>gap is actually sucking demand out of the global economy.

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>So you've got to do something, oddly enough, very egalitarian

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>to try and actually generate more aggregat And what's so

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>important here, and I continue to go back this. I

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 1>know I can do this with you, with your work

0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 1>with Bob Goodman a million years ago. Look at the

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>X axis. We've been doing this for a decade exactly.

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>It's not one your inner three year in Mama Marvin

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>good Friends, which they do a two year experiment. It

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>is the definition of year experiment. How do we extricate

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>ourselves off the XX Well, I think, I think actually

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 1>we need to look at this distribution issue and the

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 1>issue of aggurate amount of the economy itself. Oddly enough,

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>if we think about taxation and spending in a way

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 1>to give more money to lower middle income people, they

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 1>will spend it. Then you get hundred dollars worth of

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>spending for hundred dollars worth of output, and suddenly the

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 1>economy picks up. It's what I mean. I'm not saying

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>that because I believe in great income redistribution as a

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>is a good thing in general, but actually it's an

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:40.399
<v Speaker 1>economic palette of it probably would work, but you can't

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.799
<v Speaker 1>fix it through monetary policy. Low interest rates will not

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:48.079
<v Speaker 1>fix this, friends, Right, Okay, David, let's you know, take

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:49.920
<v Speaker 1>it the other way around. If there is a recession,

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>does do central banks have enough tools to do with it? Um? No?

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.560
<v Speaker 1>But but but I would argue that the what central

0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>banks could do it was what they could always do,

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>which is that can they can be a buyer of

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>last resort and they can protect the financial system and

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>then allow the economics recovered by itself. I think the

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>economy will tend to recover by itself anyway. But um,

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that you know, another twenty five basis

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>points or fifty basis points would actually stimulate economic growth.

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>It hasn't done it in Japan, it hasn't done it

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>in Europe. I don't really think it did is in

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>the United States either. I think that was more cyclical

0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 1>forces which pulled the economy back up, natural cyclical forces

0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>rather than rather than monetary stimulus. So I'm not too

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>worried about them not having tools in their tool kit,

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 1>because frankly, I think they're ineffective anyway. But I do

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 1>think we need to think very honestly and carefully about

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>how how is it that that monetary policy is not

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 1>pushing up in flasher pushing up aggregate demand, and think

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 1>about how do you get aggregate demand going. Let's just

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 1>think about how do you get demand going in an economy.

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>And you can do it by giving more money to

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>lower middle income consumers, or you can create more certainty

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.600
<v Speaker 1>for businesses, and that means get rid of tarr trade wars,

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>get trades certainty, get immigration certainly, try to have more

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>policy certainty, and that will promote more investment spending, and

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>that can also give your aggurate amount. But you've really

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>got to think directly about how do you get demand

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 1>going in an economy, And that's really outside of the

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>purview of central banks, right, And that's one of the

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>concerns actually that Japan has had to grapple with for

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>for many decades. Is Europe becoming like Japan? Uh? Well,

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.919
<v Speaker 1>I think there there's there are some similarities. Of course,

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I think you've got demographics not as badly about as

0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>in Japan, but you've got some problems. But I think

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>you do have some positives. And the unemployment rate is

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>still coming down in Europe. They've still got about eight

0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:31.680
<v Speaker 1>percent unemployment in Japan, It's like two and a half

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:35.800
<v Speaker 1>percent um. So Europe has got more unutilized resources, and

0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>they also didn't have the huge asset bubble that really

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>propelled Japan to the problems it had. And and the

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>third advantage of that Europe has is despite the problems

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 1>we have in easily or certainly the problems we have

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 1>in Greece, the aggregate debt of Eurozone countries is far

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.039
<v Speaker 1>smaller relative to your zone GDP than is the case

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>in Japan. So I think Japan has gone is a

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:58.120
<v Speaker 1>lot further down that sort of miserable path than Europe is.

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's clear markets, David All, he knows his chart. He

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and I lived in I'm just making this up quick.

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Folks were throwing this out, Jimmy. I'll get this to

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 1>you in a bit. This is allied Irish Bank from

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 1>another time in place and what the Irish did, and

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>they had the courage to clear the market going from

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:21.240
<v Speaker 1>five thousand essentially zero five euros or whatever it is

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 1>per share. Is all we're talking about is Europe has

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 1>a fear they can't clear their troubled financial system. Well,

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I think I think that's that's obviously it's it's a

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:35.599
<v Speaker 1>pro Irish. Well, well, they Irish. You know, that was

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.720
<v Speaker 1>very controversial, controversial because what they iris is they and

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.040
<v Speaker 1>they had the courage to get out front of everybody

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 1>else and clear the banking. Also, they also suffered a

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 1>huge recession because of it, and they and they did

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 1>take on a lot of responsibility upon the Irish people

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>for stuff that really was the responsibility of international investors.

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I think history is on, you know, unclear and whether

0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 1>they did the right thing or not, but Ireland has

0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 1>What they did do is they took the tough fiscal

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.599
<v Speaker 1>medicine they made, They made the tough fiscal choices they

0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.599
<v Speaker 1>they and the population put up with it. And so

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 1>the Ireland has bounced back. Um, but I think that.

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.039
<v Speaker 1>But to be honestly, ours political system actually works rather well.

0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, relative to what you see in

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the US or in Britain, there are relatively logical choices

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>being made by the major parties on both sides to

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 1>keep Oreland on a relatively even keel. And and then

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 1>I think is also helping. Politics doesn't matter. I could

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>just see you, me, Vanni, Quinn, Francie, all of us

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>in Dublin going over the success of the Irish clearing

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.039
<v Speaker 1>of markets. It was truly courageous. As David mentioned, a

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>real debate about how Ireland did it. But boy, that

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.119
<v Speaker 1>was something back in oh seven, oh eight oh nine,

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>David Kelly, thank you so much. With JP Morgan, asset manager.

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:57.279
<v Speaker 1>One of the joys of my year is the Quinnipiac

0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:01.040
<v Speaker 1>conference without just a thousand college kids. It's a great,

0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:04.040
<v Speaker 1>great moment in New York. And even better, Francis Donald

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.919
<v Speaker 1>joins me on stage this afternoon over at one of

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.520
<v Speaker 1>our larger hotels. She is with Manu life uh and

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>in strategy and economics there as well. Francis, it's great

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>to get up on stage with twelve kids or whatever

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 1>it is, and explain the idiocy of the media and

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the frenzy in hysteria right now. Let's let's pretend we're

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Quentin Pia this afternoon. What is the hysteria right now

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.160
<v Speaker 1>that most upset you that we need to ignore? Well,

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I certainly take a different approach than you do. Tom.

0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>What I'm going to talk about today for the first

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 1>time in the several years that we've been doing this

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 1>is we're at end cycle. This is the first possible

0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>recession that these kids have seen in their adult lifetime,

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>and that many of us in this industry will experience firsthand.

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>So you're calling recession you have before. So we certainly

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.440
<v Speaker 1>have been looking at the very hot or the much

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>higher probability of a recession, and it looks like the

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 1>markets have come into this framework as well. The big

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 1>question that I have now and I have been a

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 1>recession believer, is that the FED has moved devish ly

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 1>in my view, much earlier than I had initially expected.

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Have they actually managed to engineer a soft landing by

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 1>using forward guidance, by using their dot plot to inject

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>some easing into this market that actually reduces my probability

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 1>of a recession. It remains to be seen. So let's

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 1>talk about the doom crew. Because you walked into the room, Francis,

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:27.960
<v Speaker 1>and the first thing you said was I think of

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 1>recessions in and you guys always come at me. So

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.560
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about it. Why twenty what's so special about

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.960
<v Speaker 1>isn't actually a year where something blows up. It's not

0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 1>a two thousand eight scenario. It's a year where the

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 1>model signal to us that the combination of fiscal tightening,

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 1>monetary policy tightening, and some tariffs way on GDP and

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.520
<v Speaker 1>we get close to about zero percent. And this is

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.439
<v Speaker 1>where the decimal start to matter. And this is why

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I actually care about geopolitical risk more than I did

0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 1>two years ago, because this is a year where decimal

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 1>points will matter, where the math will matter if we

0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 1>actually flip into sub zero. Present grows. So there was

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 1>another group of paper at the back end of twenty

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>seen that said, look at what's going to happen here

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:10.960
<v Speaker 1>is we're gonna return towards trend growth. And as the

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:13.400
<v Speaker 1>economy decelerates back towards trend growth, there's going to be

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.599
<v Speaker 1>some people that confuse that for a trip towards a recession.

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm trying to work out whether this is a

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>trip back towards trend growth or a trip towards recession.

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.080
<v Speaker 1>How do you get the clarity between the two things

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.200
<v Speaker 1>as to where we're heading. Well, in this case, we're

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 1>both right. So is a trip back down a deceleration?

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 1>My concern is those who call for recession. There's still

0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fiscal stimulus in this pipeline. The bigger

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>confusion isn't twenty recession session, it's what happened in Q

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>four and Q one. We have seen substantial distortions to

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the economic data in Q one. I don't think they

0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 1>lift until we start getting March data, which is only

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 1>going to come through in the middle of April. But

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:52.600
<v Speaker 1>to me, starting in that segment, you are going to

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 1>see a recceleration of Q two Q three, and the

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 1>recessionistas might back off that pedal a bit. But let's

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.120
<v Speaker 1>keep our timelines very clear here. We still have have

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 1>some breathing room before the negative growth prints. Financial conditions

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 1>materially looser over the last several months. Off the back

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 1>of all of this, we now have a rights market

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.679
<v Speaker 1>that is pricing rate cuts. Do you think that's a

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 1>little bit too premature, or do you think that's the

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 1>right move? Hit, I have a different perspective on how

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.199
<v Speaker 1>the market is looking at rate cuts. So let's say

0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I think we have like thirty basis points priced in

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>for to me, that's not the market saying we have

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 1>one and change cuts. It's the market saying we have

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 1>about a thirty percent probability of a hundred basis point move.

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.079
<v Speaker 1>Because if the Fed moves in, it's not going to

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 1>be by basis points. That's not going to be enough.

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 1>When you're this close to the zero lower bound, you've

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 1>got a shock and awe. It's going to be three

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.200
<v Speaker 1>to four cuts if they choose to go that route.

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's go back six months. Do we have wage inflation?

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:49.320
<v Speaker 1>We certainly have wage inflation. It's deflating, Is that what

0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting here? No, it means that it's not filtering

0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 1>through into our CPI or pp I data to the

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:58.439
<v Speaker 1>same extent. A variety of structural factors, globalization, the inability

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 1>to pass on these cost pressures that come through. We'll

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.720
<v Speaker 1>probably see it in margins with about a nine month lag.

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.080
<v Speaker 1>But the question is, even if we were to see

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 1>two or two and a half percent pc with the

0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 1>FED respond I don't think so. We just said David

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Kelley and with Michael Faroli's great work at JP Morgan

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and the new terminal rate, is this two percent bogey

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:22.280
<v Speaker 1>on inflation, on nostalgic thing of the past. Absolutely, does

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:23.960
<v Speaker 1>it need to be set at one point eight or

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 1>something like that in my view probably? I mean, look

0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:30.120
<v Speaker 1>at the City Surprise Index on inflation, not the economic one,

0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.000
<v Speaker 1>but the inflation one. We have seen eight years where

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:37.240
<v Speaker 1>inflation data has come in below economist expectations eight years.

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:39.960
<v Speaker 1>The only reason Francis Donald brings up the City Surprising

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>nextus because she and to Bias Lefkovic are the biggest

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Montreal Canadian fans and that it's waiting for us to

0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:47.440
<v Speaker 1>get to ice helcake. You know, It's just it's had

0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.680
<v Speaker 1>nothing to do with with City group, but everything to

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>do so. I actually saw to Bias earlier this week

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and the two things we talked about where the Montreal

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Canadians and the FED. What was the most interesting, The

0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 1>most important one was drug Canadians. Well, and in both cases,

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.079
<v Speaker 1>I think we have some concerns leading forward into next year.

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 1>But but let's let's take this forward mantro was terrible

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 1>last year at full disclosure, folks, I bleed lesabitan, but

0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.440
<v Speaker 1>they've really done a lot better this year. Is that

0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 1>where the FED is six months from now? Now? I

0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.400
<v Speaker 1>think the FED needs to put itself on the sidelines.

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.440
<v Speaker 1>If the FED can be successful, I think Mr Powell

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>agrees with you. And so when I hear that there's

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.160
<v Speaker 1>days like today's with a significant amount of FED speak,

0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I get a little curvous. I don't want to see

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.079
<v Speaker 1>a lot of FED speak. I want the Fed out

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.520
<v Speaker 1>of the picture so that risk asses can rally. I'm

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:38.079
<v Speaker 1>looking it yields John mentions is sophisticated yield curve in version,

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.719
<v Speaker 1>which he does on the real yield one PM on Fridays.

0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.720
<v Speaker 1>That's all great, but what it means is more financial

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.720
<v Speaker 1>repression for our listeners, right and it just continues forward? Yeah,

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:49.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean yield caravan version. What is it telling us

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 1>that we didn't already know? Growth expectations are low, the

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 1>Feds on the sidelines, and there isn't a lot of inflation. Sure,

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.880
<v Speaker 1>there are probably some distortions here. I'm sure you've had

0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:00.520
<v Speaker 1>dozens of guests that explain that the level might not

0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 1>be as indicative as it has in the past. But

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 1>a flat ter inverted yield curve is telling us what

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:06.720
<v Speaker 1>we should already see in the data, which is that

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 1>we're end cycle. The FED may have gone too far

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's probably done. So, Francis, you've come on the

0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>program before with us and said, there's three puts to

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:18.760
<v Speaker 1>this market, the Federal reserve, trite talks, and Chinese stimulus.

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Any of those three right now that you have some

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.200
<v Speaker 1>confidence that you think could push back your base case

0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 1>of recession. So the FED move came earlier than I

0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 1>was expecting. We didn't see, you know, rate hike in

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty nineteen, starning about early March based on the paradigm

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 1>shift within the FED towards average inflation. My concern right

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 1>now is that there might be a little bit too

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:40.880
<v Speaker 1>much optimism in that China put story, that it's probably

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 1>mostly in the price I hear a lot of analysts

0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 1>tell me that we're going to see a U shaped

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.760
<v Speaker 1>or V shaped recovery in China. To me, it looks

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more like a stabilization by the end

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.280
<v Speaker 1>of this year. If we don't get that V shaped recovery,

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:55.200
<v Speaker 1>there could be some disappointment. Are they pushing their disinflation

0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and goods deflation out to the rest of the world.

0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.040
<v Speaker 1>They have, They have done it for years. They will

0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:03.960
<v Speaker 1>probably continue to do it. I think this is an

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:08.439
<v Speaker 1>interesting sideline story that should gain more attention into China

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>is about to enter deflation by PPI measures. We feel

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.160
<v Speaker 1>that in the United States, we feel that globally this

0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 1>is a massive deflationary shock. I'm sure it's part of

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:18.719
<v Speaker 1>the reason why the Fed said, you know what, we're

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 1>not going to get to two percent average inflation in

0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 1>or and through the weekend we get the p m

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I s for China and into next week to so

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>some really interesting data points coming from the Chinese side

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 1>of things. A fan of p m I s, but

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:35.560
<v Speaker 1>I must admit they're important right now. I'm not a

0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 1>fan of them either, except for the fact that out

0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 1>of China we have so little real time activity trackers

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 1>that it's probably one of our best bet I would

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 1>actually watch that employment sub index within it as a

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>good sense of what's happening to the jobs growth there.

0:14:47.200 --> 0:15:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Francis Donald, thanks update as well. Let's go right over

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the foreign exchange Jane following with us right now Jane Folly,

0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:10.280
<v Speaker 1>let me set it up. D X Y blended Dollar index, stronger,

0:15:10.360 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 1>yen not doing much, Euro maybe going through one twelve,

0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and all of a sudden emerging markets perking up weaker

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 1>as well. That's set What are you focused on? Well,

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.600
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, most of what you just said pointed

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to me that the dollar can remain really quite firm

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:31.080
<v Speaker 1>because in an environment where you see emerging markets looking

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 1>more belie, that's is suggestive of a lack of confidence

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.880
<v Speaker 1>in the market. We've see that of course in stocks too.

0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Then in verse just's have to make a decision about

0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.160
<v Speaker 1>where else are they're going to go. They're worried about

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 1>risk capetite, they're pulling back on their risk. They generally

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>come back into safe assets, to come back into detail currencies,

0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 1>and generally because they say favors are the yen and

0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.680
<v Speaker 1>a thesis fact. But when you've got negative yields and

0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 1>those the dollar too, many people may look like a

0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 1>better safe haven. That's certainly what happened I think last

0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 1>year when we saw itself off in an emerging market,

0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:05.480
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's again what we're seeing right now. So, Jane,

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.280
<v Speaker 1>is the breaks that continues to wind its way through

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:10.640
<v Speaker 1>a parliament. It seems like we're maybe getting a little

0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 1>bit closer. I hastened to say that, what is your

0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>call on sterling, given you know, we have a little

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 1>seems like there might be a real path here, or

0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.520
<v Speaker 1>split in the path where there's hard breaks that are

0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:23.480
<v Speaker 1>still on the table, but they seem to be making

0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 1>some progress. How do you think the pound reacts here

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 1>either way? Well, you know, we we saw yesterday that

0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the pound, at least in the cable dip into the

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.440
<v Speaker 1>lower levels of the week yesterday, and this is on

0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 1>disappointment that the MPs had their their votes last night

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:41.200
<v Speaker 1>on eight amendments and there wasn't a majority for single one,

0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 1>and that seems to disappoint the market invested. I think

0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 1>we're hoping for some solid direction for an alternative to

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.560
<v Speaker 1>treason maze plan, which of course me no MPs don't like,

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 1>so the markets disappointed. But actually I'm not as disappointed

0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:57.080
<v Speaker 1>as perhaps the value of sterling would would suggest, because

0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I think some progress was made. I think what we

0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:03.920
<v Speaker 1>see perhaps as uh, the the the plan about a

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:07.159
<v Speaker 1>potential customs union, and this of course is a trade

0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.800
<v Speaker 1>arrangement with with Europe. Seemed to get more support than

0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:12.920
<v Speaker 1>than the others, and this might again see some progress

0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.120
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend as MP's get together and they talk

0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:18.239
<v Speaker 1>about common ground and I think by by Monday we

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 1>might have a clearer view about the potential alternatives for

0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 1>a Brexit deal. But of course people must remember that legally,

0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 1>as it's positioned, the UK is going to leave um

0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:33.959
<v Speaker 1>um in a couple of weeks time the EU and

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:37.159
<v Speaker 1>we need a change in law in order to avoid that.

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.480
<v Speaker 1>So that as you've just slightly pointed out, that threat

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:42.359
<v Speaker 1>of the no deal Brexit is still hanging over the

0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:46.160
<v Speaker 1>heads of earning investors and we're limited any recovery. Where's

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:50.679
<v Speaker 1>the EM opportunity right now? And Jane Folly well, I

0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:53.480
<v Speaker 1>think that's a that's a difficult question given the environment

0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:55.360
<v Speaker 1>that we're in. I mean, certainly I would be very

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:59.000
<v Speaker 1>cautious about e M. The market has been nervous about

0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.160
<v Speaker 1>global growth. We see Hourkeey playing at in the back

0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>that we've got elections there in a couple of weeks

0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 1>and market extremely nervous. And when you've got a big

0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>EM player like that Turkey really looking at and you've

0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 1>got that on top of global growth, I think it's

0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.800
<v Speaker 1>a very nervous viral, you know, away from the idiosyncratic.

0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:16.920
<v Speaker 1>So I got I got a four print and Brazilian

0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:20.520
<v Speaker 1>real and I got argentinean Paso out pushing forty four.

0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Come on, there's there's sort of a group tendency here,

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:27.639
<v Speaker 1>isn't there Well, there is, there is, and and to

0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:29.520
<v Speaker 1>be honest, I think you know, the wise investors always

0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 1>going to look through the bigger picture and pick out

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the countries that are doing better. Where you see the economy,

0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:41.159
<v Speaker 1>We'll pick out for us where is it well, you know, again,

0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot large part of this comes down to what

0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 1>happens with China and US and the trade negotiations. Some

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.960
<v Speaker 1>countries could benefit from agriculture down there, um, and again

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:53.959
<v Speaker 1>it depends which way it's going to swing. It if

0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:57.119
<v Speaker 1>China again is picking up buying sybean from the US,

0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:59.359
<v Speaker 1>and maybe there isn't going to be the benefits for

0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.399
<v Speaker 1>other Latin American countries with which there could be. So

0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:05.440
<v Speaker 1>there's there's there's a lot of risky, there's a lot

0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:09.080
<v Speaker 1>of um potential outcomes and a lot of these are

0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.919
<v Speaker 1>a really good picture events. Amazing Jane Folly, thank you

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:15.119
<v Speaker 1>so much. Wonderful update with robble Bank just always advantage

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:30.679
<v Speaker 1>when she's um, do you want to bring in our

0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.560
<v Speaker 1>esteem guests? Absolutely? Um. You know. Obviously we are are

0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:37.879
<v Speaker 1>here at the Bloomberg Equality Summer broadcasting live from the

0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:41.400
<v Speaker 1>link at our world headquarters here in Lectionton Avenue fifty

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.400
<v Speaker 1>ninth Street, and we think about Hollywood. It's been said

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:47.840
<v Speaker 1>that Hollywood is one of the least welcoming industries for women.

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.440
<v Speaker 1>And I love this point that I think our guests made.

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Even the coal industry does a better job deally being

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:56.960
<v Speaker 1>accepting and support above women than this Hollywood. So it

0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.520
<v Speaker 1>help us kind of dig through this issue. We welcome

0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.800
<v Speaker 1>our our guess, Maria Geis. She is a writer and director.

0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Maria's thanks so much for joining us here at Bloomberg.

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.919
<v Speaker 1>How did it ever get so bad for women in Hollywood?

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:13.800
<v Speaker 1>What's the history there? Well, let's see. Let's start with

0:20:14.040 --> 0:20:17.719
<v Speaker 1>what Hollywood does today. I mean, Hollywood pays out seven

0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:21.800
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars in wages every year. It creates eight percent

0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:25.639
<v Speaker 1>of the media content that's distributed globally, and it helps

0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:29.120
<v Speaker 1>form our cultural narrative through the stories that are told there.

0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:32.919
<v Speaker 1>This is an incredibly powerful industry. And it's run by

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a very small group of mostly white liberal men. UM

0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:42.320
<v Speaker 1>the history of of Hollywood, as told so beautifully in

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:45.760
<v Speaker 1>the film by Tom Donahue called This Changes Everything Screen

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Here Last Night. UM shows that in the pioneer days

0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:54.360
<v Speaker 1>of of Hollywood, which began in with the invention of

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 1>the movie camera, the cinematograph um invited women in and

0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.439
<v Speaker 1>there were lots and lots of women directors, writers, and

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:06.520
<v Speaker 1>producers up until the big money came in. And as

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:09.600
<v Speaker 1>soon as the big Wall Street money came in, women

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:13.399
<v Speaker 1>got pushed out. So we really saw almost no women

0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:18.359
<v Speaker 1>in the industry as storytellers from about nineteen thirty until

0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:22.119
<v Speaker 1>nineteen seventy nine, after the civil rights movement of the

0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:26.120
<v Speaker 1>nineteen sixties and the Women's lib movement of the nineteen seventies,

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:28.920
<v Speaker 1>and then we began to see some shift. So really

0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.879
<v Speaker 1>one can look at this as an economic issue, a

0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:36.719
<v Speaker 1>battle for resources. It's a patriarchy. Have has the so

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:38.840
<v Speaker 1>to what extent has the meat too? This is just

0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 1>recent history. To what extent has the meat too? Movement?

0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you think going going to impact Hollywood going forward?

0:21:45.400 --> 0:21:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Because it seems to be of the me too movement?

0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 1>UM came in based on the work of the A

0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:55.679
<v Speaker 1>C l U and the e O C. SO. On

0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:59.840
<v Speaker 1>October sixteen, the e e O C the Equal Rights

0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:04.480
<v Speaker 1>um Commission of the United States Department of Justice started

0:22:04.480 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 1>an investigation for women directors in Hollywood, and UH two

0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:15.520
<v Speaker 1>years later, almost the day, on October five seen The

0:22:15.560 --> 0:22:19.360
<v Speaker 1>New York Times finally had the Kahan s to publish

0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:22.640
<v Speaker 1>the exposs on Harvey Weinstein. Incidentally that they had been

0:22:22.680 --> 0:22:26.080
<v Speaker 1>holding onto since two thousand and four for thirteen years.

0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:29.760
<v Speaker 1>So when Hillary Clinton was in the Clintons were no

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:33.359
<v Speaker 1>longer in power, and Trump was now in power. UH,

0:22:33.520 --> 0:22:38.760
<v Speaker 1>the major media was emboldened to publish these stories. It

0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.399
<v Speaker 1>was a watershed moment, there's no question about it. But

0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I believe, you know, also a diversion because Hollywood has

0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:50.199
<v Speaker 1>been able to use me Too and the stories of

0:22:50.440 --> 0:22:54.280
<v Speaker 1>sexual harassment and abuse in the workplace and actresses to

0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:59.399
<v Speaker 1>um control the narrative. And that's what they're doing because

0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:02.639
<v Speaker 1>when you talk about equal employment Opportunity law and the

0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:06.800
<v Speaker 1>enforcement of Title Federal Enforcement Title seven in Hollywood, you're

0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:11.399
<v Speaker 1>talking about fundamentally a redistribution of jobs from men to women.

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:14.600
<v Speaker 1>And that is something that Hollywood doesn't want you very

0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:17.040
<v Speaker 1>quickly here just because of time. You came out of U.

0:23:17.080 --> 0:23:20.040
<v Speaker 1>C l A. There's other combines of screenwriting and directing

0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:23.399
<v Speaker 1>around the world. Out of Tish came out and Bowden

0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and Ryan Fleck and they're doing Captain Marvel in that.

0:23:26.880 --> 0:23:31.919
<v Speaker 1>Do women have to advance and succeed going from small

0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:35.680
<v Speaker 1>movies and working up the food time over like you did, Frankly,

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:40.600
<v Speaker 1>or can they jump in now at a higher level? Uh?

0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Basically the way it stands right now, women directed in

0:23:44.480 --> 0:23:48.359
<v Speaker 1>Women were directing cent of episodic TV shows, four percent

0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:54.320
<v Speaker 1>of studio features and through Amazon and Netflix. Know that fundamentally,

0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:57.000
<v Speaker 1>what is happening here is that women can work if

0:23:57.000 --> 0:24:00.159
<v Speaker 1>they work for free. Women are doing the lower end

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:04.480
<v Speaker 1>of It's it's the exception Lawrence said four years ago.

0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:09.120
<v Speaker 1>She's sick of being adorable. I mean that's simple. Yeah,

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:12.960
<v Speaker 1>that women need to demand their rights under our laws.

0:24:13.040 --> 0:24:15.200
<v Speaker 1>You see that changing over the grill at the Beverly

0:24:15.280 --> 0:24:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Hills Hilton or at the Sunset Toro Hotel. Is that

0:24:18.720 --> 0:24:23.359
<v Speaker 1>dynamic changing? Um? I think that there is a great

0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:26.240
<v Speaker 1>deal of pressure right now on the industry. I think

0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:28.199
<v Speaker 1>the federal investigation and the work of the a C

0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:30.960
<v Speaker 1>L you rock to the industry to its core, and

0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:34.359
<v Speaker 1>they're worried about lawsuits and so um they're going to

0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:39.480
<v Speaker 1>move those numbers up through inside efforts, but those will

0:24:39.520 --> 0:24:43.399
<v Speaker 1>have not historically proven to be enduring. Is Disney Fox

0:24:43.520 --> 0:24:45.520
<v Speaker 1>good for women? Is James Wurduck and the rest of

0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:48.439
<v Speaker 1>them out there with Mr Igorant Disney Fox in the

0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:51.960
<v Speaker 1>new combination? Nobody is good for women. Nobody is good

0:24:52.000 --> 0:24:56.040
<v Speaker 1>for women. All all of these, the organizations that make

0:24:56.119 --> 0:25:00.880
<v Speaker 1>up Hollywood, including the unions, the talented agencies at studios,

0:25:00.880 --> 0:25:03.520
<v Speaker 1>and the network streaming giants, they all need to be

0:25:03.640 --> 0:25:08.480
<v Speaker 1>challenged by the BYE by a legal action. Is that coming?

0:25:08.560 --> 0:25:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Is that forthcoming? Do you think legal action? I My

0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:14.200
<v Speaker 1>belief is because the a E O C has been

0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:17.320
<v Speaker 1>um conducting this investigation and perhaps has been in settlement

0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:20.480
<v Speaker 1>talks for three years and four months six months almost

0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:23.360
<v Speaker 1>and we UM don't know what is going on with

0:25:23.400 --> 0:25:27.800
<v Speaker 1>that because uh, they function in total confidentiality. However, we

0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:29.919
<v Speaker 1>have been a small group of us have been working

0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:32.880
<v Speaker 1>very very hard to move this into the court system,

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:35.439
<v Speaker 1>and I do believe that that is the necessary thing.

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:37.600
<v Speaker 1>This needs to end up in the Supreme Court. Right,

0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:40.399
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like it sounds like pressure is building. It

0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:43.040
<v Speaker 1>sounds like the me too movement might might accelerate. That

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:45.359
<v Speaker 1>so very interesting, guys, thank you so much for joining us,

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:50.520
<v Speaker 1>here talking about this equality issue in Hollywood, which again

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:54.640
<v Speaker 1>very very difficult place historically for women to do well,

0:25:54.720 --> 0:25:57.639
<v Speaker 1>even harder than the coal industry. Believe it or not,

0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:02.919
