We've 5 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: been telling all of you this week on Bloomberg Radio 6 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: and television the anticipation for the speech by Chairman Paul 7 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: at Jackson Hall. We need to stop and explain Jackson Hall. 8 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: It is a beautiful place with mountains that only Michael 9 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: McKee has climbed across the lake with a moose in 10 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: the background in the lodge. I've had the privilege of 11 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: being there for some very important meetings during the financial crisis, 12 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: but this year is absolutely unique, run by the Kansas 13 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: City Fed and they're wonderful and interesting. Esther George Jackson 14 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: Hall will be virtual meeting to begin our coverage are 15 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: Michael McKee spoke with Esther George and they began on 16 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: the framework at hand. Let's listen. I will just offer 17 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: you from my perspective that this has been I think 18 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: a useful process. It's been a process that really asked 19 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: of ourselves to look at what we've learned over the 20 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: past decade, to try to think about how the economy 21 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: may have changed, and importantly, to think about how we 22 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: communicate to the public. So the process in and of itself, 23 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: I think has been a useful one, and I will 24 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 1: leave to the Chairman to talk about what we've learned 25 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: from that. Well, you've been considered an inflation hawk. Where 26 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: are you on this idea of average inflation targeting? So 27 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: my focus on inflation, Mike, as you known, is to 28 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: be true to our price stability mandate. UH that are 29 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: two percent target UM really has to represent what's happening 30 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: in the real economy. And so as we think about 31 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: ways to better communicate to the public, UM, I've never 32 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: thought of two as a ceiling, but to really stay 33 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: focused on what anchors inflation expectations in the economy. So 34 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: from a communication standpoint, UM, I think we will be 35 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: talking about the kinds of things that help us do 36 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: a better job of achieving our objectives. Wall Streets betting, 37 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: or at least many of people on Wall Street are 38 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: betting that the FED will change its forward guidance in September. 39 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: Some of your colleagues say, don't need to do that. 40 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: Yet where are you so? I would agree when I 41 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: look at what the Fellow Reserve has done since March 42 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: UM in terms of interest rate policy, in terms of 43 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: asset purchases and the credit facilities we've had, I think 44 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 1: trying to gauge what else does the economy need is 45 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: probably premature. I think we are beginning to see signs 46 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: of a recovery. We're beginning to see where the economy 47 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: may have shortfalls, where it may be doing okay, but 48 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: that is going to take some time. So thinking about 49 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: what those other things are I think has been a 50 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: useful discussion. Whether it's time to activate those things is 51 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: something we'll be debating leading and run up to your 52 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: conference and GEIRMYN. Powell's speech, there's an awful lot of 53 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: discussion about inflation going on on Wall Street and in 54 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: the financial community. Um, do you think that the all 55 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: the stimulus that's been pumped into the economy is perhaps 56 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: an inflation danger down the road? Well, As a central banker, 57 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: I think we always keep our eyes on inflation and 58 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: what impetus may come to that. I think importantly what 59 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: we see today are really generally deflationary kinds of forces. 60 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: So until demand comes back, until we see the economy 61 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: regain its footing, it's hard to see in the near term. 62 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: But as you point out, there is a lot of 63 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: stimulus that may be out there at the point that 64 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: the economy regains its footing, and we'll have to look 65 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: and see what impact we see through prices at that point, 66 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: but today is probably not that day. Well, let's focus 67 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: on your district. The district, how would you describe the 68 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: economy there right now? So I think we see some 69 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: encouraging signs. Uh. This region, of course, has experienced the 70 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: virus in different time frames, in different levels of spread 71 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: over the last five months, and what we see overall 72 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: is there has been some improvement in the job market. 73 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,239 Speaker 1: We have seen some businesses that are beginning to come back, 74 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: but of course that's coming back from a very low level. 75 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: Particular to this region, of course, things like agriculture and 76 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: energy are very prominent. We know the farm sector has 77 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: been under some stress for some time with low farm incomes, 78 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: and this episode puts further stress on that, causing the 79 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: farm sector to have to rely more heavily, for example, 80 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: on government supports. Energy too, with the rapid decline in 81 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: oil prices um productivity and the producers had to lay 82 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: down their rigs. Uh. So those two sectors in particular 83 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: in our region already under some stress. It will take 84 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: some time, I think for them to come back. I 85 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: can ask you to expand on the labor market. What 86 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: are employers telling you right now? Do they need more people? 87 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: Can they find more people? Or are they just sitting 88 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: back at this point and saying we have to wait 89 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: and see where the economy goes. So we hear a 90 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: variety of things that won't surprise you, but very important. 91 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: As we've talked to our contacts in the region. Again, 92 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: it is often a function of the sector Therein if 93 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: they're in a part of the economy where they're dependent 94 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: on air travel, dependent on entertainment or dining, Uh, they 95 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: are struggling and having a harder time and bringing people 96 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: back in those sectors looks to be uh some time away. 97 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: We also hear that some are having a hard time 98 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: bringing people back because they felt like they were competing 99 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: with some of the jobless benefits. Whether that's true today 100 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: UM is less clear. So there are a number of 101 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: dynamics that are affecting that labor market and that of course, 102 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: is why it will take us some time to see 103 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: where does all this shake out in terms of how 104 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: that labor market heals and how we begin to see 105 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: growth resume in the economy, as you George of the 106 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: Kansas City Federal right now, as we look to Jackson 107 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: Hall right now, as we look to the American economy. 108 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: Peter Hooper has provided extraordinary leadership at Deutsche Bank to 109 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: do the harnessing and economics, which is to put a 110 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: team together where you lean forward and it's anything from 111 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: the words Seravellos in London and Ellen Ruskin of course 112 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: over to Matt Lozetti and the US economic team as well. Peter, 113 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: how is your team adjusted in the last number of days? 114 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: Are you marking down Q three in Q four economic growth? Well, Tim, 115 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: we have not yet marked down growth. The numbers have actually, 116 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: until yesterday's UH confidence slip numbers have been coming in 117 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: a bit stronger UH and despite the setbacks on on 118 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: the virus side, we we were inclined to mark up 119 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: our second half numbers just a bit in light of 120 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: data coming in now had an interested in discussion on 121 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: the fiscal side. Obviously, if we don't get a resolution, 122 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: we're assuming one and a half trillion in in fiscal 123 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: support coming along here soon. If that doesn't materialize, and 124 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: it's it's a very different picture. But assuming we get 125 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: the phisical support, the numbers so far say that are 126 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: are five and a half percent growth number declined for 127 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: the year, maybe a little bit too weak. Things looking 128 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: just a little stronger, and and today's durable goods report 129 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: sort of shaded slightly on that side as well. When 130 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: you talk about the fiscal support, it comes ahead of 131 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: that jobless claims number tomorrow that is expecting to be 132 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: expected to be the twenty third reading UH one million 133 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: or more out of this past twenty four weeks. Where 134 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: are you seeing unemployment ending the year at this point, 135 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: given the ongoing announcements of layoffs that we keep hearing 136 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: from major companies, Lisa, we we think it'll slip, it'll 137 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: get below ten percent, but not by much where some 138 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: somewhere in the nine percent range. This this is going 139 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,479 Speaker 1: to be a slow process of getting unemployment down UH. 140 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: Certainly UH GDP growth, the level of GDP not getting 141 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: back to pre UH pre virus levels until early two. 142 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: So it's it's gonna be it's gonna be a long 143 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: slow slog on on improving this labor market substantially. I 144 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: will say that the quote of the year possibly came 145 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: from Vincent de Laard in a story a boy Bloomberg's 146 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: Sarah ponzac He said, I would summarize as the bear 147 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: market for humans, where companies that had the fewest humans 148 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: relative to the market value to the best and you 149 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: saw humans cut in droves. What does this say in 150 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: terms of wage deflation? Well, you know, it depends on 151 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: depends on a sector you're looking at. There are some 152 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: shortages in some areas, you are seeing some increasement, but 153 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: over overall, I think in the service sector, the sectors 154 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: where you've seen a sharp cutback and demand is likely 155 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: to persist for some time until we get the vaccine, 156 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: until that's widely available, and we're not assuming we'll be 157 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: there until probably in the middle of next year. Uh. 158 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: With something that's widely available and effective. Um, it's going 159 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 1: to be it's gonna be a negative for for for wage, 160 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: wage and alation. Uh. Certainly households have obviously household income 161 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: has gotten a huge boost. On the fiscal side, You've 162 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: seen incomes rise substantially. UM that that points to the 163 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: critical importance of getting something done here, uh and in 164 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: the weeks ahead getting a resolution on on this, uh 165 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: the support package. If we don't get it, we're looking 166 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: at the possibility of a double dip procession Q four 167 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: Q one and uh, further negatives on wage inflation. Certainly, 168 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: this is an incredibly important statement by Dr Hooper. Folks, 169 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 1: let me explain this again on the standard nb er 170 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: discussion of negative GDP two quarters in a real Q 171 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: four Q one. And I know it's squishy and Dr 172 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: Hooper is not like getting out a calculator to figure 173 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 1: that out. But the idea of going back into recession, Peter, 174 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: is across a country of immense inequalities. How have our 175 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: politicians not acted so far? Are we see action in Germany, 176 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 1: action in the United Kingdom and we can't seem to 177 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: get it done to avoid the Hooper recession? Yeah, well 178 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: that's uh Hooper recession if if we get no further 179 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: fiscal support, if the vaccine doesn't materialize until well into 180 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: next year. I mean we're looking at some some clear 181 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: negatives here. As I said, the data to now have 182 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: been a little bit more positive. But Slippage, John slippag 183 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: John consumer confidence UH, and the possibility of further setbacks 184 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,239 Speaker 1: on on COVID nineteen as we go into the winter months. UM. 185 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: These these these all UH say we're we're looking at 186 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 1: the potential for a more negative picture than certainly built 187 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: into the market at this point. I will just say, Peter, 188 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: one of the big confusing points for me is that 189 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: as we talk about the potential for a double depercession 190 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: and yet the work that we've seen from the Federal 191 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: Reserve from easing of credit standards, we are seeing an 192 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 1: actual tightening in lending standards by banks. And this comes 193 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: from Goldman Sacks. They put out a report showing the 194 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: fastest pace of tightening in in loans to businesses over 195 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: the past couple of months, going back to the last recession. 196 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: Does this concern you? Is this the banks seeing something 197 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: that the rest of the market isn't well, Lisa, It's interesting, Yes, 198 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: those lending standards have been tightening impressively, as as you 199 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,719 Speaker 1: would expect when economic situation de jurates significantly. At the 200 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: same time, the default rate, which normally catches up to 201 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: these kinds of tightening, has not really moved that much. 202 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 1: I think. I think the aggressiveness of the fiscal response 203 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: that we saw initially, the and the support through p PP, 204 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: the and the feds UH main street lending facility waiting 205 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: the wings. That hasn't been a factor yet, but we 206 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: do expect it will become more important. All of these 207 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: are leading to a little bit of a disconnect between 208 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: this tightening of standards and the eventual fallout in terms 209 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: of what's gonna happen. Has credit crunch, ships, businesses. Peter Hooper, 210 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: thank you so much with Deutsche Bay greatly appreciate it 211 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: and look forward to your thoughts after Jacksonhole as ahead 212 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: of their economic research right now and arguably the interview 213 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: of the day on what doesn't matter at the conventions. 214 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: Libby Cantrill joins us now with PIMCO Head of Public Policy. 215 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: Libby I spoke with Westernman of Arkansas yesterday. He says 216 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: Hot Springs and Southern Arkansas, Western Arkansas are doing well. 217 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: They're removed from all of his trauma. And then you 218 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: go to Kenosha, Wisconsin. In the uproar of the last 219 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: three days, including death last night, and in between, there's 220 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: a huge part of the country desperate for stimulus. Can 221 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: we get stimulus once it's conventions over. Yeah, well, good morning, Tom. Yeah. 222 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: I mean we've we have, PIMCO have and I specifically 223 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: have been talking about the additional stimulus was a question 224 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: of of win, not if. Now that win has definitely 225 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: taken longer, certainly than I thought it was going to. Um. 226 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: The the sort of the perennial stumbling blocks around the 227 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: level of benefit, and specifically as it relates to unemployment insurance, 228 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: Local and state funding a big issue for Democrats. They 229 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: got very little in the Cares Act. Uh, you know, 230 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: hundred fifty billion dollars for states and cities. Democrats want 231 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: more in this next round. And then you know, funding 232 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: for usps UM. These are the obstacles really to getting 233 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: a deal. I continue to think there is a framework 234 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: for a deal. I think that the inflection point will 235 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: likely be the end of September though, that is when 236 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: Congress has to come together to pass a funding bill 237 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: to avoid a government shutdown, So we may have to 238 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: wait until then. Um. And again we thought it was 239 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: gonna happen sooner, but some of these partisan issues just 240 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: gotta have gotten in the way. Let me Lisa bram 241 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: Wants mentioned brilliantly American Airlines nineteen thousand. They're taking a 242 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: forty thousand down with early retirement, best buy out with 243 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: whatever the number is. Our politicians in your world moved 244 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: by actual firings. Yeah, I mean, look, I think that 245 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: I think if you, if you talk to folks on 246 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: the hill, there there is an acknowledgement that, certainly, um, 247 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: the the economy needs another shot in the arm. I 248 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: think these headlines certainly underscore that. Um So again, I 249 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: think that the there's a broader acknowledgement that the political 250 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: risk in particular going into the election without having additional stimulus, 251 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: sort of speaking to your point, just the headline risk 252 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: of going into the election companies announcing more firings is 253 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 1: just too great for politicians. So again, I think they 254 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: will come together to pass something, just taking taking longer 255 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: than certainly what we expected. So we're not hearing much 256 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: noise out of Washington right now other than the r 257 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: n C and the d n C. And yet every 258 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: week that goes on, economists say hurts the economy based 259 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 1: on lack of extension of this program. When you talk 260 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: to portfolio managers within PIMCO, how do you help them 261 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: gauge the risk of a prolonged negotiation process. When can 262 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: they expect some sort of deal to get done and 263 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: what are the consequences of the delay. Yeah, I mean 264 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: the earliest at this point, given that you know, folks 265 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: are on the hill are out for their their usual 266 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: August recess, really is going to be the middle of 267 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: September at the very earliest. But that's when they come back. 268 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: So that would be predicated on a deal being struck 269 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: before then, but probably, as I said, late September again, 270 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 1: that is when Congress has to come together to pass 271 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: a funding bill to avoid a government shutdown, And it 272 00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: looks very likely that these two things are combined. From 273 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: an economic perspective, we are seeing some states apply for 274 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: that added benefit that the President authorized under his executive order. 275 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: There's some issues with that, and of course that benefit 276 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: is about half of what we saw under the Cares 277 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: Actum and only lasts for sort of four to five weeks, 278 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: so there is a risk obviously, And we're seeing some 279 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: of the preliminary data consumer confidence is lagging. You're seeing 280 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: some other data metrics that the economy is once again slowing. 281 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: So again I think there's a broad acknowledgement of the 282 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: Hill that something needs to be done. Um, just a 283 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: question of how they get there. Is it an under 284 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: priced risk that it's going to take a while? Yeah, 285 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: I mean I think at this point the market does 286 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,959 Speaker 1: seem to be priced in in uh surprising in some 287 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: additional stimulus, and so certainly that is a tail risk. 288 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: If everything falls apart in October, we don't have a deal, 289 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: folks will be back in their districts campaigning for the election, 290 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: and then it does look very unlikely that you get 291 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 1: something until after the election. So that certainly is you know, 292 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: is a tail risk. It doesn't seem that markets are 293 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: necessarily focused on that Libby in your world? Is there 294 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: a middle ground? Is there a middle Democrat, a middle 295 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 1: Republican and they have political power a political voice now 296 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: and after November? Yeah, I mean, Tom, it's it's a 297 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: great question. Um. There there are certain constituencies on Capitol Hill. 298 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 1: There's the problem Solvers Caucus that is a bipartisan caucus 299 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: that is um sort of aimed at that center demographic 300 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: that you that you talk about, Um, and we'll see. 301 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: I mean, this will obviously be predicated on the election outcome, 302 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: but something I think it's sort of important especially for 303 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 1: the markets. To keep in mind if there is a 304 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: Democratic suite, So if Joe Biden is elected to president, 305 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: Democrats control the Senate and win back control of the Senate, 306 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: you have to remember that who are those Democrats that 307 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: are making those majorities in both the House and the Senate. 308 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: They're actually from either purple districts or even red districts 309 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: or red states. Um, so there will be kind of 310 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: a more moderating force within the Democratic Party who are 311 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: probably going to be more inclined as reaching across the aisle. 312 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: So I don't think, you know, centrism is totally dead, 313 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: but obviously, over the last decade or so, our politics 314 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: have become so polarized Jerry Mandarin I think is exacerbated. 315 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 1: Lack of earmarks have exacerbated this. So they're certainly the demographic, 316 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: but it is it is sort of a smaller one, unfortunately, 317 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: Lett me cancel, thank you so much. With PIMCO, I 318 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: think there's a lot of dat opportunities that are available 319 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: to people who who are creative, who have a vision 320 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: for the future. I think you know, in ten years 321 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: will look back and there'll be ten world class companies 322 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: that were created by people who we probably think are 323 00:19:52,920 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 1: thinking are crazy right about now a gentleman from Pittsburgh Cuban, 324 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: What an interesting life at University of Pittsburgh and on 325 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: he went to huge prosperity, including invigorating many would say enthusiasm, 326 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: literally how owners should be within sports with his Dallas 327 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: Mavericks as well. Always an eventful interview, made more so 328 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: by David Rubinstein appeared appear, uh, the gentleman from Carlisle Group, 329 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: and of course we've been thrilled with his wonderful interviews. Well, 330 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: how do you prepare for a Mark Cuban interviewed David 331 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: Rubinstein book. I read that, Um, he's got lots of press, 332 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: so he's read all the articles about him over the 333 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: last two years or so. But he is a person 334 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,959 Speaker 1: that's very smart. I mean, if you don't know him, 335 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: you might think he's just a bombastic person who spouts 336 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: out things at basketball games. But he's a very, very 337 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: smart person. He built a company way ahead of the 338 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,479 Speaker 1: technology revolution, sold at a big price, and he managed 339 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: to uh make certain that the profits didn't go away 340 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: when the tech bubble burst occurred. And he's made a 341 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 1: lot of money over the years. But he's actually very thoughtful, 342 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 1: and I think the interview was much more impressive than 343 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: I thought it might have been. You have been good 344 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: engaging politicians to be It is the discussion of Mark 345 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: Cuban entering American politics, any inclination of that. Well, like 346 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people who make a lot of money 347 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: and don't know what to do with themselves afterwards, because 348 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 1: they got all the material things they want, they say, 349 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: why not run for president? Nited states This idea has 350 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: occurred to a couple of people obviously, and Mark Cuban 351 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: actually was a friend of of Donald Trump and Donald 352 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: Trump and when he was running for president initially talked 353 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: to Mark because he thought Mark was supporting and then 354 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: ultimately Mark decided not to Mark looked at running for 355 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 1: president this time and concluded after doing some polling that 356 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: he wouldn't get very far and didn't want to do it. 357 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: His family also wasn't in favor of it. But he's 358 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 1: still only sixty two years old and he could run again. 359 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: So do you expect Mark Cuban? You know, I think 360 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 1: there'll be a lot of people in four But I 361 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: would say the idea of that a wealthy business person 362 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: who has a lot of money to spend, could run 363 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: for president United States and actually win. It's not as 364 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: ridiculous as it once was. So I wouldn't rule anything out. 365 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: But Mark is actually very creative and what he's done 366 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: with the Mavericks is pretty impressive. He bought it for 367 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: about two eight million dollars is probably worth two and 368 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: a half to three billion now. Um, and he's would 369 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: say the biggest problem he has in his life. I said, Mark, 370 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: you know, everything seems to work perfectly for you. What 371 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: the problems do you have in like? He said, Well, 372 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: I have a teenage daughter, and managing a teenage daughter 373 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: is more problem than anything else I've ever had. That 374 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: would be That would be true as well, Um, you 375 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: know the time for surveillance correction, folks. I did mention 376 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh affiliation of Mr Cuban, but Lucas from Bloomington 377 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: emails in and says, hey, stupid. He went to Indiana 378 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,360 Speaker 1: University at Lisa pick it up from there from he's 379 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: from Pittsburgh. He grew up in Pittsburgh, but Indiana University 380 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: had a business school which we could afford. He didn't 381 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: have any money, and so he's from a Jewish family. 382 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: His name was changed, like somewhere in Ellis Island. Uh 383 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: and Uh. He went to Indiana, made a fair amount 384 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: of money as a bartender and so forth, then moved 385 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: to Dallas because the weather was good. He said that 386 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: women were beautiful and he wanted to just have a 387 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: nice lifestyle and there were some jobs there. But he 388 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: started a number of businesses and he's done quite well 389 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: over over many years at time. Almost everything he's touch 390 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: has worked out well. Yeah, And when he was talking 391 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: about the NBA, he was saying he would welcome a 392 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: Jewish player, frankly, any player, uh, even from Mars if 393 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: they could win. I am wondering, David, talking about all 394 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: of that money that Mark Cuban has, what's he buying? Well, Interestingly, 395 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: he's been a long term owner of Netflix shares and 396 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 1: Amazon shares, and he would say a large point of 397 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: his net worth is actually the money he's invested in 398 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,959 Speaker 1: those companies. He has been in the past a stock trader, 399 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: and he knows a lot about tech stocks. But he says, 400 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: right now, there aren't that many tech stocks to buy, 401 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: so just load up on the really good ones and 402 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: go for a right David, this is really important. I 403 00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: want to rip up the script here. I just think 404 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: it's so so important, David. You mentioned something really important, 405 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: and the guys are entrepreneurial, and maybe they're like Carlyle 406 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: with private equity, but so much of the wealth construction 407 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: of these people, including Mr Buffett's very successful Apple investment, 408 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: is making conventional share investments. Do we underestimate that in 409 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: the media, that they just make sound, conventional, traditional share investments. Well, 410 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: the tradition has been generally that if you make private investments, 411 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: you can add value to them and ultimately the return 412 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: will be greater, and the return has been good in 413 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: the private equity world. However, if you bought Amazon, Netflix, Apple, 414 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: uh those kind of companies five years ago, three years ago, 415 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: two years ago, six months ago, you would have done 416 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: spectacularly well. If you take those companies out of the 417 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,360 Speaker 1: stock market indexes, the indexes aren't doing quite as well 418 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: that those companies have just driven everything. And it's just 419 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: my big mistake that I sold after the I p 420 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: o my shares in UH in Amazon, well within that 421 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: and that's okay, David, I was in triple loverage Dog Cash, 422 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: so you know, let's how well I did, David, What 423 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: are the opportunities right now with all this cash sitting around, 424 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: it's almost two good the trillions of dollars of cash 425 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: on the sidelines. Well, it depends on what you are 426 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: interested in. If you're in public shares. I do think 427 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: the public shares are pretty high right now, so I 428 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: would be a little leery um. And I do think 429 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: that after the election, whoever wins, you'll probably see some 430 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: softening of the market, because I think the federal government 431 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: will probably not be able to put that much money 432 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: back into the economy compared to what it's already done 433 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: in the private sector. In the private equity world, I 434 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: do think there's some opportunities, but nothing is cheap today. 435 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: It used to be you would buy a company in 436 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: a private setting for eight or nine times cash flow. 437 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: Today they're fourteen or fifteen times cash flow, and you 438 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: just have to either accept it or you're not gonna 439 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: be buying anything. David Rubinstein, thank you so much. Really 440 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: looking forward to Erk Cuban, a peer to peer conversation 441 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: with Mr Libenstein.
