We get more 57 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: from Bloomberg's Doug Prisner. The director of the National Economic Council, 58 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: Brian Deese, told reporters the White House is working closely 59 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: with congressional leadership to finalize the list. As we previously reported, 60 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: Sarah bloom Raskin as a leading contender for the vice 61 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: chair of Supervision, but earlier this week, the top Republican 62 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: on the Senate Banking Committee, Pat Toomey, said he has 63 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: serious concerns about the possible nomination of Raskin. There are 64 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: two additional openings, were told. Economist Philip Jefferson is a 65 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: likely nominee, and FED Governor Lyle Brainerd has been nominated 66 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: as FED vice chair. Today, she'll have her confirmation hearing 67 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: in New York on Doug Prisner Bloomberg Daybreak.

We get a 70 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: preview now from Bloomberg's Minchael McKee. Governor Brainer's nomination hearing 71 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: maybe a bit more contentious than the reception. Fed Chair 72 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: Powell got on Tuesday, Banking Committee senators were largely content 73 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: to get Powell's views on the economy and inflation and 74 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: the implications for interest rates. Brainerd, however, is likely to 75 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: face tougher questions about the future of FED policies involving 76 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: diversity and climate change. She has advocated for both positions 77 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: Republicans don't see as part of the Central Banks mandate. 78 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,559 Speaker 1: She will defend those efforts as vital to the Fed's 79 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: ability to boost growth and promote financial stability, and although 80 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: the questioning may be tougher, Brainard, like Powell, is expected 81 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: to win confirmation. Michael McKee Bloomberg Daybreak. All right, Mike, thanks, 82 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: Let's turn our attention to the pandemic now.

The most serious illness continues to be 85 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 1: among the unvaccinated. The CDC says almost all teens that 86 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: need intensive care have not received shots. Bloomberg's said, Baxter 87 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: has the story.

The sample sizes and teams are too small 92 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: for the CDC to translate it to older populations, but 93 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: what it does say is that having a very sixteen 94 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: is preventable. CDC says the reports of deaths were all 95 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: unvaccinated in San Francisco.

In one case, 101 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: a pack of forty kN nine five mass now costs 102 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: eighty dollars.

It's 266 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 1: five nineteen on Wall Street. We're live from the Bloomberg 267 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: Interacted Broker studios. This is Bloomberg Daybreak, where the number 268 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: of the morning is seven. Of course, that's the year 269 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: over year change in consumer prices, the latest read on inflation. 270 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: As we await even more numbers later this morning when 271 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: it comes to producer prices. Let's talk inflation now with 272 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: Tom Keane, host of Bloomberg Surveillance, joining us a little 273 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: bit early this morning. Yeah, maybe I haven't been up 274 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: this early in the last twenty four hours, and they 275 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: brought the coffee out in the pantry. Yet the coffee 276 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: is out of coffee so this morning and the coffee 277 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: is more expensive. That's part of this. It really translates, 278 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: Nathan across everything we do. The parsing of it is simple, 279 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: service sector inflation up a little bit. But most of 280 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: the economists are saying, particularly without Macron, maybe service sector 281 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: inflation won't surge forward. And it's in goods area. Forget 282 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: about energy, that's outside, but the goods area is the 283 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: big mystery. About seven point two percent or turn around 284 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: to six point eight percent. And when you look at 285 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: numbers like this, Tom, where do you look to see 286 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: whether we're going to hit peak inflation anytime soon? There's 287 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: still a debate about whether these price pressures are gonna 288 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: keep going high or whether the Fed is going to 289 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: be able to rain them in time. Well, excuse me, 290 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: that's a play coff their folks. I'm fine the the 291 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: the FED reigining and inflation is a comfortable idea. It's 292 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: much much harder than that, as we learned in the 293 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: early eighties, certainly as we lived through all of the seventies. 294 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: It's a lot more complex topic. And the answer is 295 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: there are forces, Nathan that will surprise you either up 296 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: or down, that come under the category unexpected. I would 297 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: emphasize that most of the guests we talked to when 298 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: surveillance are saying we don't know and we need to 299 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: just simply see the more data knowing they'll be surprises. 300 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: If I had to say, one surprise if you're an optimist, 301 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: if you believe the play will get better, if you 302 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: believe things will prosper, if you agree with James Diamond 303 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: of JP Morgan that we're gonna have four or four 304 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: and a half percent growth. Julian Emmanuel talking that up 305 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: on Edheiman yesterday with ever Cor I s I if 306 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: you get those kind of a confluence of good things, 307 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: maybe goods, inflation turns around and inflation starts to slow down. 308 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: Is that why we're hearing a lot of the focus 309 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: still from FED chair Powell about the supply chain bottlenecks. 310 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: We haven't seen any other time of similar situations, just 311 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: simply because of the way this pandemic is. It's original 312 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: in the pandemics and natural disaster, and you've got the 313 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: supply chain disruptions. I will say one thing tangential. It's 314 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: sort of like a Sunday evening thing, you know, when 315 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: you're watching to see the naming of the Washington football team, 316 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: and that on a Sunday evening is you want to 317 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: look at the Year of the Tiger, which is the 318 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: China New Year. And we're hearing from our China guests 319 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: that the Chinese New Year coming up in like two weeks. 320 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: I guess is another supply disruption. What's it like when 321 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: we get beyond that? And the optimists are saying the 322 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 1: supply disruption can ebb a little bit, but I don't 323 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: hear it going away. All right, let's talk about the 324 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 1: data the latest day that we're going to get this 325 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: morning from producer prices. There's talk this morning of nine 326 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: point eight percent. If we get a ten percent handle, 327 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: what could that mean?

It's five thirty nine on Wall Street. 541 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: The following is an editorial from Bloomberg Opinion. U S 542 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: consumer prices rose seven percent in New one, the largest 543 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: twelve month gain in nearly forty years. The good news 544 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: is that the Federal Reserve can no longer be accused 545 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: of playing down the risks of inflation. Its policy stance 546 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: has moved briskly from patients to concern with the hint 547 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: of alarm in recent months. To its credit, the Central 548 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: Bank has pulled off this abrupt shift in messaging without 549 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: royal lane. Financial markets investors have calmly penciled in for 550 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: interest rate hikes this year. That sounds about right, but 551 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: with the pandemic far from contained, the Fed needs to 552 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: keep an open mind amid so much uncertainty. The Central 553 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: Bank shouldn't box itself into a fixed policy. Instead, it 554 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: should stay ready to tighten or loosen policy as conditions evolve. 555 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: Moving forward, flexibility will be key.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak, and investors 612 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: are looking for ways to win in an era of 613 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 1: higher inflation. Let's bringing Christina Hooper, now chief Global market 614 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: strategist at invest Goal. Christina, we're seeing future sort of 615 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: fluctuate this morning is traders try to assess this time 616 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: of rising inflation, where do you see this market going? 617 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 1: So I actually expect this market to go up this year, um, 618 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: but I have to give that qualification that I expected 619 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: to be far more muted in terms of returns than 620 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: what we saw last year because we are entering more 621 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,000 Speaker 1: of a slow down phase of the economic cycle. We're 622 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: withdrawing monetary and fiscal stimulus is here. It's not going 623 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: to be enough to end the cycle. We're not going 624 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 1: into recession, but we are going to see some modest 625 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:40,319 Speaker 1: deceleration in growth still above trent um, but but modest deceleration. 626 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: And I think that results in a convergence in asset 627 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:50,240 Speaker 1: class returns and likely an outperformance of growth over value. Okay, 628 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,760 Speaker 1: so growth over value where else are you looking for opportunity? Well, 629 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: in emerging markets. Now, this is an area where we 630 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: need to be discerning um it's appropriate to to actively 631 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: manage that space, but there is certainly potential this year 632 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 1: for emerging markets could be to emerging markets what one 633 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 1: was to develop markets in terms of experiencing a robust reopening. 634 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:21,320 Speaker 1: As vaccination programs proliferate and as we see vaccination levels 635 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:25,919 Speaker 1: go up, even a macron um could be positive in 636 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: terms of spreading immunity rather quickly in emerging markets. I 637 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: don't expect it to happen overnight, but I do expect 638 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,320 Speaker 1: emerging markets to accelerate this year in terms of economic growth. 639 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: In terms of what the FED could do with monetary policy, 640 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: are you looking for acceleration of rate hikes when it 641 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: comes to reining in these price pressures? Do you think 642 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: we could see more rate hikes sooner? I know the 643 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: FED is talking tough, but I still anticipate only three 644 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 1: rate hikes this year. And my rationale is that the 645 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: FED has made it clear to less that it is 646 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: going to be using three tools this year rather than too. 647 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: Not only are we having tapering and an acceleration of tapering. UM. 648 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 1: But we also anticipate that the FED actually starts shrinking 649 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: its balance sheet this year. UM So having three levels 650 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 1: instead of two takes pressure off using rate hikes as 651 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: the most as the primary monetary policy tool this year. 652 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: So I anticipate three UM. I still hold out hope 653 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: that it won't happen in March because I think the 654 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 1: FED wants to be data dependent and we don't know 655 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: exactly how a macron plays out. I think it's a 656 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: short term negative, but it's still a negative. UM So 657 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: I still hold that hope that we see any rate hike, 658 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 1: although those hopes are fading. Does that raise the possibility 659 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 1: that we could see continued price pressure and does that 660 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: have you looking for hedges? Well, I do believe a 661 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,560 Speaker 1: macron does exacerbate price pressure, but only in the short term. 662 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 1: UH So that could um. I still believe we're likely 663 00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: to see inflation peak by the middle of two and 664 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 1: slowly start to get better. Um. We are seeing the 665 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: economy normalize. Um that is going to be the path 666 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: for two as this turns from a pandemic to endemic 667 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: and uh and that is part and parcel of the normalization, 668 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: is that we will see um pent up demands slowly 669 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 1: burn Um, we will see elevated household savings slowly burned. 670 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 1: So a lot of the conditions that have caused high 671 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: inflation should be alleviated. We only have about thirty seconds 672 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: left here, but we're going to see earning season kick 673 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: off in earnest at the end of the week. Do 674 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 1: you see fundamentals coming more into play when it comes 675 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:50,959 Speaker 1: to stock valuations? Well, certainly, fundamentals often come more into 676 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 1: play when we go through earning season. Uh. And there 677 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 1: are going to be some surprises. We're already getting some 678 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: more warnings in terms of the impact of omicron um. Definitely, 679 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: fundamental will matter um, But this should be a good 680 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,800 Speaker 1: earning season in general.

Jaff 686 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 1: Bellinger National taxpayer Advocate Aaron Collins, as taxpayers and tax 687 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: professionals will face the most challenging filing season. Ever, she 688 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 1: says there are new complexities at a time when the 689 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 1: I r S is dealing with institutional obstacles. Ocean says 690 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 1: truck drivers must comply with the agency's vaccine or test 691 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,799 Speaker 1: wool unless their employer proves that they drive alone and 692 00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,840 Speaker 1: are rarely inside buildings.

All right, Jeff, 698 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 1: thank you. Now another legal story we're watching. Sixteen top universities, 699 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,800 Speaker 1: including Yale, Columbia and m I T are being sued 700 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:24,240 Speaker 1: for allegedly conspiring to manipulate the admissions system. They're accused 701 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 1: of holding down financial aid for students and benefiting wealthy applicants. 702 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,720 Speaker 1: The antitrust class suit accuses universities of a long running 703 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 1: scheme to collectively adopt a formula for determining an applicant's 704 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: ability to pay tuition. That's instead of competing freely over 705 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,160 Speaker 1: financial aid by trying to attract students through more generous 706 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 1: aid offers. The plaintiffs also claim that more than half 707 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:49,439 Speaker 1: of the schools have given preferential treatment to wealthy applicants 708 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 1: for more in the case Bloomberg's ding grasshow speaks to 709 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 1: antitrust Expert Harry First, a professor at n y U 710 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: Law School, explain how the exemption from anti trust violations 711 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:04,439 Speaker 1: for school as that practice need blind admissions fits in here. 712 00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: So the first questions they fall within the exemption so 713 00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,719 Speaker 1: that they have a complete defense to an in trust suit. 714 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,479 Speaker 1: And the plaintiffs seemed to be arguing two things. First 715 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:21,319 Speaker 1: of all, they've broken the very first part of the statute, 716 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:27,360 Speaker 1: which says that it applies to institutions of higher education 717 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: at which all students admitted are admitted on a need 718 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: blind basis. So basically they say, give us a break. 719 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: All of these schools consider money when they're making the decisions. 720 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: And they go through this in some detail, and it's 721 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 1: not pretty in some ways. I mean, you know, it 722 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,399 Speaker 1: shows the extent to which the schools actually do seem 723 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 1: to consider the means of applicants in deciding who they 724 00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:00,520 Speaker 1: are going to admit in certain circumstances and do it 725 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,319 Speaker 1: on a you know, an institutionalized basis. So even if 726 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 1: the plaintiffs prove the schools are outside of the antitrust exemption, 727 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: they still have to show their violating the antitrust laws. 728 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,280 Speaker 1: How did they go about that? That's going to depend 729 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,359 Speaker 1: on proving that there was an agreement on price. Now 730 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 1: they're using a common formula. What does that mean they're 731 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,080 Speaker 1: agreeing on price? Do they deviate from the prices? Will 732 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,919 Speaker 1: be subject of some question about whether, you know, whether 733 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 1: it's an agreement on price, and then whether there justifications 734 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,279 Speaker 1: for what they do are in the language of any 735 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:44,360 Speaker 1: trust pro competitive design. In the end that schools might argue, 736 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: this is a designed so that we can compete with 737 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,880 Speaker 1: other schools, you know, in some way or another, and 738 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,719 Speaker 1: don't exhaust all our money on certain applicants and don't 739 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,800 Speaker 1: get a diverse class. And so a lot of hurdles 740 00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,480 Speaker 1: yet to go through the basic story of you know, 741 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: we purport to be needs blind, but we're privileged, baited 742 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: and as n y U law professor Harry First speaking 743 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 1: at Bloomberg Student Grasso.
