1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. A single best idea,

2
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: and it's a special edition, a single best idea. There's

3
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: no other way to put it. When Ed Heyman walks

4
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 1: in the door for a generous half hour conversation, he

5
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: touches upon a lot of points. I want to explain

6
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: the why here. Part of so much of what we

7
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: do at Bloomberg Surveillance and before that at Bloomberg on

8
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: the economy is actually trying to understand who is this guy.

9
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: It's like Butch Cassidy, who is this guy? Who is

10
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: this woman? And the guests are different. Ed Heiman was

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,639
Speaker 1: at CJ. Lawrence before Ed Yard Danny, both of them

12
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: world class economists, and ed Heiman codified what I call

13
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: chart paragraph, chart paragraph, chart paragraph. There's a chart and

14
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: then a quick paragraph and then another chart. That's the

15
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: entire report. There's not a lot of discussion going on here.

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: It's a lot of pictures that tell a story. And

17
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: all of that came out of the technical work of

18
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: one Alan Greenspan years ago. We just look at the

19
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: data and it's not a small idea that the leading

20
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: chart in Ed's latest note was a Trucker's survey falling

21
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: off a cliff is too negative, but it's diminished, it's

22
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: slowing down, and of course that folds into what the

23
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: FED will do and Hymen on a FED.

24
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: I think the FED has been doing a pretty good job,

25
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: and I'm generally critical of the Fed. Okay, but either

26
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: my luck or my skill, they have the path set

27
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: now for cutting rates and we got claimed this morning solo.

28
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: It makes me have a headache. And so they're you know,

29
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: they got different mandate, So I don't necessarily think they

30
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: should have will know better to answer to that question.

31
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: I do think that they were way off on raising rates.

32
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: Edheimen there and Jerom Powell and what the Federal do

33
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: for it clearly indicated he needs to see data to

34
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: get to fifty basis point cut. That's out there. Anna

35
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: Wong Bloomberg Economics said the difficulties in the labor economy

36
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: shown yesterday in the data doesn't tilt to fifty basis points,

37
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: but she says it's part of the discussion to say

38
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: the least ed Hymen for years. This is way before

39
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: Evercore took out Isi at Hymen's ISI, he's really stayed

40
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: away from the politics of the moment, he doesn't put

41
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: on an obligatory political discussion at the end. It's a

42
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: very rare thing here he is ed Heyman on an

43
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: election in November.

44
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: It's a dance. And Everquore has its roots in the

45
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: very democratic group of people as founders Roger Roger Altman

46
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: and Ralph Slashdain and they're terrific, and so I have

47
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: to be a little careful he as a Republican, you're not.

48
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: It's their firm and I don't want to get in

49
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: the way. But as we all know, it's fifty to

50
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: fifty and so it's too early to try and figure

51
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: out the economic implications.

52
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: Not too early to listen to the debate. We'll do

53
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: that across Bloomberg. The ABC debate in Philadelphia, and we're

54
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: thrilled that David Girl will lead our coverage for the

55
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: debate on September tenth. Thank you. What day is that?

56
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: Is it? Tuesday? Tuesday, September tenth. Yeah, it's spending this

57
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: time of year, you know, you need how much for

58
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: school supplies? Like that's the major question going on right now. Finally,

59
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: with that, Heimen, I asked them a delicate question, and

60
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: that is the debate on unrealized gains. Let me explain

61
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: this quickly. You buy Apple and it goes up, and

62
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: you owned it for five years, six years, eight years, whatever,

63
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: and you have a huge profit and you don't want

64
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: to sell. You just carry the gain forward until you

65
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: sell or death or whatever. Some out there want to

66
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: tax the gain along the way, even if you don't

67
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: sell the apple shares. This is new Edhimen.

68
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: I think it harms everybody. Why because it hurts the

69
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: whole capitalistic system, and so I mean that's one of

70
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: the things that I would find the most discouraging. It

71
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: also is impossible to administer, so I don't think that's

72
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: going to make it, but it definitely is low on life.

73
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: So broadly, listening.

74
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: At Heimen there on this idea of taxing gains that

75
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: have not been taken, the only thing I'll editorialize there

76
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: is I just sort of gut feeling, and you know,

77
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into the politics of it.

78
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: But if they do text unrealized capital gains, I think

79
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: you could rename the document the Accountant Employment Act of

80
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: two thousand whatever. That's sort of where I would go

81
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: on that Jobs Day tomorrow will go beneath the headline

82
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: day to day thirty. Let me go through our distribution.

83
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: We are thunderstruck by the August numbers. Granted we had

84
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: a small affair early in the month of the stock

85
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: market which helped out. But thank you, thank you so

86
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: much for your support. Across Android Auto, Apple car play
