0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:38.960
<v Speaker 2>with stocks a little change following two weeks of games,

0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 2>heading into this week's inflation data. Lori Cavasina of RBC

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 2>writing the sentiment story has been one of mixed emotions,

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 2>with takeaways varying depending on which data set one is

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:50.480
<v Speaker 2>looking at. Lori joins us now for more. Louri, good morning,

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.120
<v Speaker 2>to see you, Good morning. Does the bullcase stand up

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 2>to the rate high debate at the moment?

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 3>I think so, as long as you have a moderate

0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 3>amount of rate hikes. We talked about this in our

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Weekly few weeks ago, that whether you're looking at it

0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:05.039
<v Speaker 3>from the perspective of the FED taking rate, taking their

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 3>interest right up, or ten year bond yields moving up.

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:09.200
<v Speaker 3>That when we go back and we look at the

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:12.040
<v Speaker 3>history both since twenty twenty two on the bond yield side,

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 3>or if we look back to nineteen ninety and look

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 3>at sort of FED moves over the context of twelve

0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 3>month moves in the market, everything in moderation seems like

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.200
<v Speaker 3>something the equity market can handle. If you go back

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.600
<v Speaker 3>to twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, we priced an

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 3>enormous amount of hikes, we had a massive move up

0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:27.920
<v Speaker 3>in ten year bond yields.

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 1>It was a real regime change.

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 3>We've been sort of stuck in this bond yield environment

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 3>on the ten year yield side between sort of three

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 3>point three to five percent. If we stay contained in

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 3>that range, I think that we could have some short

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.679
<v Speaker 3>term indigestion in markets, but still have a fairly good

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.399
<v Speaker 3>outlook over the next twelve months. Similarly, if you go

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.199
<v Speaker 3>back and you look at how stocks perform in different

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 3>hiking and cutting cycles, your best environment is when the

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 3>FED does absolutely nothing. So we can keep our fingers

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 3>crossed for that scenario. But you tend to get like

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 3>thirteen to fourteen percent returns on both the hiking side

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 3>and the cutting side when you're seeing moves and the

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.160
<v Speaker 3>zero to one hundred basis point range. As long as

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 3>we stay within say two ish hikes over the next

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 3>twelve months of twenty five basis points, I think stocks

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:09.079
<v Speaker 3>will ultimately be okay.

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>They may not like it in the short term.

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Lisa mentioned Deutsche Bank looking for a call right hikes

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 2>lantor this year Bank of America doing the same. That

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 2>note just drop earlier on this morning, this call, this

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.640
<v Speaker 2>conversation accelerated by this move and energy, but energy drop

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 2>back to the seventies. When you speak to the team

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.919
<v Speaker 2>at RBC, how dependent is the outlook for interest rates

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 2>on what's happening in the commodity mail kit?

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.480
<v Speaker 3>So Blake went on our US rates strategy team handles

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 3>the FED call for us. He's not currently looking for

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 3>any FED moves, though he has also written that his

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 3>conviction and that has come down, and our econ team

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 3>has talked about how the next move may be a

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.000
<v Speaker 3>hike rather than a cut. I think there's a lot

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.640
<v Speaker 3>of fluidity in the situation right now. One of the

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 3>things that came out in my meetings with investors last week.

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 3>Is just a lot of uncertainty is in the air,

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 3>whether you're looking at the path of the FED going forward,

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 3>how the FED is going to operate going forward, and frankly,

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 3>also this situation in the Middle East in terms of

0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 3>what that means for oil prices, what should your assumption

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:01.800
<v Speaker 3>be over the next twelve months. I don't think a

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.239
<v Speaker 3>lot of people know that, but that does have reverberations

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 3>and headline inflation. One thing that Blake has really emphasized

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.360
<v Speaker 3>to us internally is that he hasn't really viewed the

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 3>FED policy rate as the appropriate path or the appropriate

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 3>tool really to combat any get inflation emanating from oil prices.

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 3>But we do know, of course that we have inflation

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 3>emanating from other sources as well.

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 4>What's more important for the equity market Core PCE coming

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 4>out on Thursday, or Micron.

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Earning is coming out on Wednesday.

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 3>I think that this is a situation in the equity

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 3>market where we have very very strong earnings tailwinds that

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.880
<v Speaker 3>are running up against very stiff headwinds on the PE side,

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 3>and you tend to get compression in the PE right

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 3>when you have higher inflation, higher interest rates but so

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 3>far in our modeling, it looks like the earning story

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 3>is strong enough to offset those headwinds from compression. So

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 3>I would say, right now, earnings matter more at this point.

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 4>A lot of people keep talking about that, and yet

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 4>you take a look at some of the earnings, they've

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.760
<v Speaker 4>been driven by names that have pricing power.

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 5>There is a bit of pushback on.

0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 4>The pricing side in a significant way, from hyperscalers and

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 4>from other companies that are realizing that there are some

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.120
<v Speaker 4>limits we might be bumping up against. At what point

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 4>is that a tension that needs to get resolved that

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 4>could potentially be a risk factor.

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 3>So look, I think it is something that investors are

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.479
<v Speaker 3>already thinking about and digesting, which takes some of the

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.040
<v Speaker 3>edge off. Frankly, I think we just have to go

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 3>through reporting season right and hear what the latest commentary

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 3>is from companies.

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>One of the things we've talked.

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 3>About is the capex cycle, and we're doing a lot

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:28.640
<v Speaker 3>of questions on this last week.

0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 1>A lot of that is hyperscaler driven, is AI driven.

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 3>If you look at rates of change on S and

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 3>P five hundred capex, you're kind of hovering around peaklike

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.360
<v Speaker 3>type levels. But if you x out the top ten names,

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:40.920
<v Speaker 3>we're in the very early stages of.

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 1>A capex recovery cycle.

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 3>So can you elongate the cycle as you get more

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 3>companies participating in the capex boom. That's something we have

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 3>to think about given the tax bill that we saw

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 3>last year, so we're still sorting through a lot of

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:52.960
<v Speaker 3>these issues.

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.160
<v Speaker 6>Our come more companies are going to be participating when

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 6>it comes to doing better in the stock market, given

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 6>they could put the Iron War behind them. Prices are

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 6>moving much lower.

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 3>So I'll tell you Marie, last week on the Business

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Roundtable put out the CEO confidence survey that they run,

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.599
<v Speaker 3>and we actually saw that tick up, and it was

0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:13.720
<v Speaker 3>on the strength of capex expectations, sales expectations, hiring expectations

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 3>were pretty neutral. But there's just really been a clear

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.719
<v Speaker 3>contrast between say, investor sentiment, which has been kind of

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 3>weak or meh, it's gotten a little bit better recently,

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.360
<v Speaker 3>but hasn't been that fantastic. And then if you look

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 3>at the corporate side, I wouldn't say they're off to

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 3>the races, but are still generally optimistic. So I think

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 3>we have to take some comfort from that, especially as

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 3>we head into this next reporting season.

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Can I answer the question, Can I just say Micron? Yeah, right, Micron,

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 2>probably because I think most economists understand where PCEA will

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 2>probably come in after seeing CPI and PPM the last week.

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and how high expectations are from Micron given the

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:46.640
<v Speaker 4>fact that it's rallied like some eight hundred percent scot

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 4>last year.

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:47.839
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it's insane.

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 4>You started wondering can they keep having this transfer of

0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.920
<v Speaker 4>wealth coming from hyperscalers to them. There was a chart

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.719
<v Speaker 4>showed the divergency performance between the hyperscalers and the.

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 5>Chip makers, and it's bonkers.

0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.479
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it just shows what's going on right now,

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 4>and it.

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.839
<v Speaker 5>Feels like maybe not totally sustainable in perpetuity.

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you just can't please some people and they'll say

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.479
<v Speaker 2>things like this is as good as it gets, even

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.039
<v Speaker 2>it is so good, have we seen peak?

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:11.119
<v Speaker 5>As good as it gets?

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 3>So if you look at the rate of upward revisions

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.280
<v Speaker 3>for either the semiconductor companies or the S and P

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 3>five hundred in general, it does look like we've sort

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 3>of hit those peak levels of earnings enthusiasm. If we

0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 3>looked at the SMP five hundred, the rate of upward revisions.

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 3>I think it got to around eighty nine ninety percent

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 3>recently at the high. The high tends to be kind

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:29.960
<v Speaker 3>of in that ninety to ninety four percent range, and

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.360
<v Speaker 3>in our latest update at tick down to eighty six percent.

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 1>So these are all very good numbers.

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:38.479
<v Speaker 3>Right. You're still generally seeing upgrades, just slightly slightly slower pace.

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 3>If you look at the semiconductors, we're still sort of

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:44.040
<v Speaker 3>sitting at peak levels of upward revisions. And so we've

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:45.720
<v Speaker 3>been talking a lot to clients about this because I've

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:46.960
<v Speaker 3>talked to a lot of people who have been in

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 3>the semi's names, who have been in the AI theme.

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 3>You know, a fair number of people doing well with that,

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 3>but they're saying, maybe I should be looking around at

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.280
<v Speaker 3>other opportunities. So we look at that chart and I say,

0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, this is a risk factor, but I can't

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.280
<v Speaker 3>just tell you to sit here and hold your nose

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 3>and sell because if you go back and look in

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 3>the past, sometimes you sit at these peak levels of

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.480
<v Speaker 3>upward revision for multiple years.

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>So we have to watch how.

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 3>They move in time. And I know that's not a

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 3>satisfactory answer. We're all supposed to have crystal balls in

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:14.920
<v Speaker 3>this business and predict what's going to happen six months

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:15.679
<v Speaker 3>down the road.

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 2>With certainty and conviction, righty, But I.

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 3>Do think in this plus yeah, but I do think

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 3>in this particular situation, we kind of have to take

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 3>it day by day.

0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:24.840
<v Speaker 7>Stay with us.

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 2>More Bloomberg surveillance coming up after this. The UK Prime

0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Minister Kase Tharmas stepping down after two years in the role.

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 8>The question my party is asking now is whether I

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 8>am best placed to lead us into the next general election.

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 8>That is why I will resign as leader of the

0:07:54.480 --> 0:07:55.240
<v Speaker 8>Labor Party.

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Sama's exit opening the door for Britain's fifth prime minister

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 2>since twenty twenty two, the former Manchester mayor Andy Burnham,

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 2>putting himself forward with a backing of former Health Secretary

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Where Streeting Jordan Rochester of MISSOUI right. In the following,

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Burnham wins either way according to polling. His policy positions

0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 2>are clearly to the left of Starmer, but lack detail

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.480
<v Speaker 2>on how they would be achieved. Jord and Rochester joined

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.920
<v Speaker 2>us now for more. Welcome to the program sir, As

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, the nervousness in UK markets was less about

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 2>secure Starmer leaving. It was always about the worries about

0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 2>what would replace him, Jordan, what comes.

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 9>Next well, as you said John earlier in your previous section,

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.840
<v Speaker 9>was about their chancellor choice too. I think Burnham's positions

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.040
<v Speaker 9>the market knows they're quite expensive, some of them, especially

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.560
<v Speaker 9>the full nationalization. But in terms of the next step, John,

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.520
<v Speaker 9>it's about how soon does this contest take place. We're

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.120
<v Speaker 9>kind of get in the details of that, and when

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 9>will it finish, and how quickly could a new PM

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 9>be in place, and if it is a coronation, essentially

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 9>it's going to be around three to four weeks, similar

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.400
<v Speaker 9>timelines to when Theresa May took over from David Cameron.

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.800
<v Speaker 9>If there is a longer drawn out contest, then you're

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 9>talking the sort of August period into September. And there's

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.959
<v Speaker 9>some commentary commentary this morning suggesting that Andy Burnham hasn't

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:06.839
<v Speaker 9>yet got all of his plans in place, so it

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.839
<v Speaker 9>doesn't really want to be a prime minister within three weeks.

0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 9>He'd rather be a little bit longer and perhaps even

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 9>in fruit to September. So those are the timelines, but

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.320
<v Speaker 9>let's just imagine it's in three weeks. Then it's about

0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.840
<v Speaker 9>who the cabinet choices are and we get that within

0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 9>a twenty four to forty our well wind of news

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:27.840
<v Speaker 9>And as add Marieves suggested earlier, if Streeting has put

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 9>and he has he's put his name behind Andy Burnham,

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 9>does that make him more Likelyp's chancellor.

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 7>It could be a Vet Cooper as well. She about

0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 7>my mood.

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.079
<v Speaker 9>These are of the names that were being considered, as

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 9>well as the sort of the dark horse, Ed Milliband,

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.200
<v Speaker 9>which is Edmndiband was once considered for prime minister. So

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.840
<v Speaker 9>he's not the end of the world for UK rates markets,

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.320
<v Speaker 9>but that's kind of how the commentary kind of frames it.

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.040
<v Speaker 9>But he is definitely to the left of most of

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 9>those other candidates, so that is the one which leads

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 9>to and that sort of outcome a guilt sell.

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 5>Off Jordan, what's priced in?

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 4>Because ultimately it seems like there's not a lot of

0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.199
<v Speaker 4>action on the heels of some pretty signsificate headlines.

0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 9>This morning well indeed, so essentially the price action took

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.080
<v Speaker 9>place towards the end of last week. We had a

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.439
<v Speaker 9>UK rate started to sell off as it started to

0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 9>seem quite likely after the Make a Field result, which

0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 9>was a very strong result for Andy Burnham, it was

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.800
<v Speaker 9>supposed to be a tight contest between him and Reform

0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.680
<v Speaker 9>and it was actually pretty gangbusters over twenty percent lead.

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.640
<v Speaker 9>That suggests that as a leader he could boost the

0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 9>Labor Party's fortunes, because that's what politics is all about,

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 9>it about getting elected, and the party is going behind

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 9>that sort of Burnham momentum that if you look back

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:33.200
<v Speaker 9>over the past few months, the writing has been on

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 9>the wall for Keir Starmer. In the public opinion polls,

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.559
<v Speaker 9>he was deemed to be the most sort of unpopular

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 9>prime minister in UK modern history. So the writing down

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 9>the war should been a matter of time. And the

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.040
<v Speaker 9>main reason why Guilt's move last week was because of

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.560
<v Speaker 9>that lead that Andy Burnham had in the makefield. But

0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:52.040
<v Speaker 9>apart from that, the bigger picture is Okay, that's the politics,

0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 9>but what about the data?

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 7>What about the Bank of England?

0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.959
<v Speaker 9>Where's oil price is going and helping rates a little bit?

0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.079
<v Speaker 7>This morning? Is oil coming off the.

0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 9>Sort of recent level slightly thanks to progress being made

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 9>in US around.

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 4>Talks well Jordan To that point, how much is this

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 4>story a very specific story for a political sort in

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 4>the UK versus a broader macro story that suggests something

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.679
<v Speaker 4>bigger about bond and FX markets.

0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 9>Well, the specific part is for all these policy details

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.800
<v Speaker 9>and how much guilts can sell off versus treasuries versus buns.

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 9>So I think going forward, if you want to take

0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 9>a burriage fee on the UK, you need to do

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 9>it as a spread versus US or Europe, because the

0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 9>broader picture is that yields have come down thanks to

0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 9>the US around war ending.

0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:33.760
<v Speaker 7>But the broader picture the.

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.200
<v Speaker 9>UK slots into actually something that's quite similar, which is

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.559
<v Speaker 9>fiscal spending is now potentially being entertained again. Even though

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 9>the UK has been boxed in by these fiscal rules,

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 9>could they be redefined And the policy agenda that Andy

0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 9>Burnham has probably needs the fiscal rules to be tweaked

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 9>in a way, at least on capital expenditure.

0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 7>So that feeds in through to the bigger picture.

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:54.560
<v Speaker 9>US is spending on the one big beautiful bill, Japan's

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:58.319
<v Speaker 9>doing a consumption tax on food. Potentially you've got Germany's

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 9>defense spending from just the pre this year, an infrastructure

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 9>feeing through to the UK thinking about a public utility nationalization,

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 9>better spending on NHS, healthcare, etc. So more physical spending.

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 9>It definitely starts into a broader theme.

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.719
<v Speaker 6>The head of one of Britain's biggest trade unions had

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 6>said that Ed Miliban would be a quote noose around

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 6>the neck of job creation if he became the chancellor.

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:23.559
<v Speaker 5>Could we see some sort of market.

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.079
<v Speaker 6>Reaction to the downside in the United Kingdom if we

0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 6>were to see Miliban become chancellor.

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.840
<v Speaker 9>It's definitely the scenario that most analysts would say that

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 9>leads to a guilt sell off, and it's because of

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 9>a position on for more fiscal spending. But he has

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.120
<v Speaker 9>also outlined that he would respect the fiscal rules. So

0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 9>I think the sort of dramatic Liz Trust moves that

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 9>you've got in twenty twenty two you're not really going

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 9>to get as long as all the candidates on potential

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.600
<v Speaker 9>candidates for a chancellor say we'll respect the fiscal rules,

0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.320
<v Speaker 9>so that kind of boxes them in. If they don't

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.760
<v Speaker 9>say that, then you do get the bigger moves. And

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 9>I don't believe edmundband had so I think it's the

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 9>scenarios leads to weaker performance of UK gilts. I'm not

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.680
<v Speaker 9>talking about twenty twenty two sell off, but the other

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:09.679
<v Speaker 9>points I'm guessing from the Union leader.

0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:11.280
<v Speaker 7>I have to look at the quote exactly.

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 9>It's because of the views of north sea drilling and

0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 9>this is why admit a band maybe is a little

0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.960
<v Speaker 9>bit less likely because the reindustrialization plans that Andy Burnham

0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 9>has for the north of England kind of don't tie

0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.400
<v Speaker 9>the net zero agenda, and of course the north sea drilling.

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 7>Stay with us.

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:38.160
<v Speaker 2>More Bloomberg surveillance coming up after this. Negotiators for te

0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Run and Washington continue building the roadmap for reaching a

0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 2>final deal. The president facing some pushback from his own party.

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 10>History demonstrates that giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.520
<v Speaker 10>who want to murder us is an exceptionally bad idea,

0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:57.560
<v Speaker 10>and I think unfortunately the President is receiving some really

0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:58.680
<v Speaker 10>bad advice on this deal.

0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.360
<v Speaker 2>The Republican Senator Take comic joins us now for most

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:02.719
<v Speaker 2>and it's a good morning going to see us, say

0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.040
<v Speaker 2>with sending the negoshiandam face. So it's difficult to judge

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 2>a deal that we haven't gone yet. What are your thoughts,

0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.360
<v Speaker 2>your assessment of the process and how does this coming

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Togainda Well, let.

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:12.480
<v Speaker 11>Me let me start by just a word on al

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.319
<v Speaker 11>Greenspan who I knew I know was wife Andrey Mitchell.

0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 11>So I really today we celebrate a great a great life.

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.680
<v Speaker 11>And I introduced Kevin Warsh at his hearing, and Kevin

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 11>is a big admirer of Allen's as well, and he

0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.520
<v Speaker 11>does it'll be a different challenge, but we have the

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:30.400
<v Speaker 11>right man for the job. He's he's he's going to

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 11>help lead the FED. I think in a time of

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 11>great change and uncertainty with regard to the release, I

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.280
<v Speaker 11>think you have to start with the beginning of this

0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 11>is that the President Trump took a series of actions

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 11>which puts US in a position for a set of negotiations,

0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:50.800
<v Speaker 11>so enormous progress, taking the nuclear program way back under,

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:56.280
<v Speaker 11>reducing their missile capability their launchers, so AARAN is in

0:14:56.440 --> 0:15:01.840
<v Speaker 11>economic difficult straits and militarily has been and dramatically affected.

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 11>Now as we think about this, MoU there's three things

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 11>that have to be achieved through this sixty day negotiation,

0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:12.760
<v Speaker 11>which I think a critical on the President has more

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:14.280
<v Speaker 11>or less said this. Number one, the strait has to

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 11>be open with an unhindered by Iran, there can be

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.720
<v Speaker 11>no control. Second, they have to give up their enrich

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.520
<v Speaker 11>uranium and there has to be a path to no

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.120
<v Speaker 11>nuclear program. We may have a step forward on this

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.040
<v Speaker 11>with the new core inspectors. And the third thing is

0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 11>needs to be paid for performance. In other words, each

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.240
<v Speaker 11>step along the way in terms of sanctioned relief has

0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 11>to be only coming when there's actual movement on the

0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:39.040
<v Speaker 11>part of the Iranians. I think it's too early to

0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:42.440
<v Speaker 11>tell whether that's happening or not, and we'll see as

0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 11>these negotiations proceed. But the President's goals were clear from

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 11>the beginning, and I think that's what we have to

0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 11>stay true to.

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.880
<v Speaker 6>But there are two of President's goals that are not

0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.040
<v Speaker 6>being addressed in this MoU and as the blistic missile program,

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.600
<v Speaker 6>and that's the money to running proxies. Do you expect

0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 6>the president to somewhere address these red lines that he

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.480
<v Speaker 6>has had for years since going back to his first term.

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 11>Well, the first one we've made a lot of progress on.

0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 11>So I mean the missile attacks that we've done on

0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:13.400
<v Speaker 11>and the air attacks we've done on their missile program,

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.680
<v Speaker 11>on their drones, on their manufacturing capacity, on their launchers

0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 11>have been extraordinarily successful. So their capability is a fraction

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 11>of what it was. How far along we are I

0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:26.080
<v Speaker 11>think remains to be seen, but there's been big progress.

0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 11>This second issue is whether they're going to actually stop

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:36.080
<v Speaker 11>the funding for Hesbela and others. We've also made huge

0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 11>progress in taking down Hesbela and Hamas. If we move

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 11>forward on this path, we'll see whether there can be

0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:47.800
<v Speaker 11>a future commitment on financing of the terrorist groups. Right now,

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 11>I think the focus on the nuclear program.

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 5>What role do you.

0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.640
<v Speaker 6>See Congress playing in all of this, especially when it

0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 6>comes to the sanctions relief that the MoU addresses for the.

0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:56.920
<v Speaker 5>Regime, Well, it depends.

0:16:57.080 --> 0:16:59.520
<v Speaker 11>It depends what the agreement turns out to be, but

0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.080
<v Speaker 11>I expect Congress will have a role, and for this

0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.879
<v Speaker 11>to be lasting and meaningful, Congresses need to be involved

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.960
<v Speaker 11>and hopefully have something that we can approve leading into

0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 11>the next administration. I think part of the reason the

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.720
<v Speaker 11>Obama deal was ineffectual was that it was never assigned

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.800
<v Speaker 11>deal and was never passed by Congress.

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.320
<v Speaker 4>I want to go back to Ellen Greenspan for a minute,

0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.560
<v Speaker 4>because this is a really pivotal moment, given that we're

0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.960
<v Speaker 4>ushering into Kevin Warsh era that potentially is going to

0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:27.240
<v Speaker 4>be very different from what we've seen, Given where inflation

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 4>is currently in Pennsylvania, given what you're seeing in markets,

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.399
<v Speaker 4>do you think it's appropriate to be hiking rates at

0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 4>this point? Do you think that this is something that

0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 4>even the president would welcome.

0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.479
<v Speaker 11>Well, I think Kevin what was wise in the companies.

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.480
<v Speaker 11>You have two big forces coming out the economy at

0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:43.920
<v Speaker 11>the same time. You have what's happening in Middle East.

0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.200
<v Speaker 11>You have the oil shock and how that's affecting pricing,

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:50.520
<v Speaker 11>particularly in energy pricing, but it's affecting everything. We've seen

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.240
<v Speaker 11>a lot of relief on that recently, which is a

0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:56.040
<v Speaker 11>huge deal for Pennsylvania's working families. Gas under four bucks.

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:57.600
<v Speaker 11>It makes a big difference. I was just a Pennsylvania

0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:59.919
<v Speaker 11>for three days. They talked about it. The second thing

0:17:59.920 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 11>is this enormous capital investment in AI and infrastructure, which

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:09.359
<v Speaker 11>can have a significant deflationary impact and a huge increase

0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:11.760
<v Speaker 11>in productivity. So I think it's going to take a

0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.720
<v Speaker 11>while to sort that through, and I think Kevin's being

0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:17.960
<v Speaker 11>very wise in the federal I think we'll wait until

0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.080
<v Speaker 11>it has a little more insight into which way things

0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:23.240
<v Speaker 11>are headed. You made the point about a single voice.

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.399
<v Speaker 11>I think Kevin will be an incredibly articulate voice. But

0:18:26.880 --> 0:18:30.480
<v Speaker 11>he talked and his hearing about family fights and the

0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:33.720
<v Speaker 11>idea that there's going to be a real open exchange

0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 11>at the table with conflicting views on the table. He's

0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:38.240
<v Speaker 11>got some very strong views on the data and the

0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.680
<v Speaker 11>data models and how they need to be updated. So

0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:42.320
<v Speaker 11>I think it's gonna be a different feed than under

0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:45.720
<v Speaker 11>Alan Greenspan. But one more stuited for the moment is the.

0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:48.400
<v Speaker 4>Narrative that AI is just inflationary. Does that work with voters?

0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 4>It might not be working with markets right now, but

0:18:51.080 --> 0:18:53.439
<v Speaker 4>does it work with voters? Well, listen with the.

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:55.080
<v Speaker 11>Challenge and I see this every day is there's an

0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 11>enormous amount of misinformation, and make no mistake, the Chinese

0:18:59.240 --> 0:19:01.320
<v Speaker 11>are behind a lot of that. Look at the hearings

0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:03.800
<v Speaker 11>that are being conducted in the House and the Senate.

0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.840
<v Speaker 11>There's been a lot of reporting on this. AI and

0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.920
<v Speaker 11>data centers in China have an eighty five percent popularity.

0:19:09.920 --> 0:19:12.160
<v Speaker 11>In America they have about a twenty percent. A lot

0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 11>of that's based on misinformation. So one of the responsibilities

0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:17.720
<v Speaker 11>I think we have in the public realm is to

0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 11>make sure people understand AIS offers enormous benefits enormous opportunity.

0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:25.879
<v Speaker 11>A lot of it still remains to be seen, and

0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:29.200
<v Speaker 11>it has huge risk, and it's our job to guide

0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 11>this incredible moment of change in a way that lifts

0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.840
<v Speaker 11>all boats, make sure that we mitigate the downsides to it.

0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:38.879
<v Speaker 11>So it's too early to tell, I think, is the

0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:42.200
<v Speaker 11>short answer. There was all these predictions about huge job loss.

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.760
<v Speaker 11>Certainly it'll be disruptive, but in Pennsylvania there's enormous growth

0:19:46.800 --> 0:19:49.640
<v Speaker 11>and these skilled labor electricians, welders, you can't get enough

0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:52.600
<v Speaker 11>of them. And the white collar job loss has not

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:55.359
<v Speaker 11>materialized yet. So too early to tell in terms of

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:56.680
<v Speaker 11>what the impact is going to be. But I think

0:19:56.760 --> 0:20:01.200
<v Speaker 11>because of the uncertainty, that'll hopefully lead to do you know,

0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:03.399
<v Speaker 11>careful decision making before we make any moves.

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 6>But center the job of couple lips that everyone was

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:07.800
<v Speaker 6>worried about apocalyse.

0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:08.639
<v Speaker 11>How did you make that up?

0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:08.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:12.400
<v Speaker 6>No, no, that came from AI companies themselves, not China.

0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:14.639
<v Speaker 6>They were the ones that are saying that this is

0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:15.840
<v Speaker 6>going to more.

0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:19.840
<v Speaker 11>I think this go through every moment of profound change,

0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:23.600
<v Speaker 11>technological change in history. There's a doomer narrative, which I

0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:26.480
<v Speaker 11>think is very misplaced. I think it's scared a lot

0:20:26.520 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 11>of people, but I also think we shouldn't be too pollyanish.

0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:31.199
<v Speaker 11>This is a moment of a lot of change, and

0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:34.720
<v Speaker 11>we have to guide it. It has huge national security implications.

0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:36.960
<v Speaker 11>We have to we have to be in the lead

0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:41.919
<v Speaker 11>from a US perspective visa via China. It offers enormous

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:46.200
<v Speaker 11>opportunity and life sciences and health, and on the productivity

0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:49.720
<v Speaker 11>and job front, I think we're learning a lot as

0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:53.800
<v Speaker 11>we go. Literally, the job creation that I'm seeing on

0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:56.600
<v Speaker 11>the ground from energy infrastructure, from data centers is just

0:20:57.119 --> 0:21:01.400
<v Speaker 11>absolutely remarkable. And and I lived through the I lived

0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:04.000
<v Speaker 11>through the Internet boom, and what we saw there there

0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:07.120
<v Speaker 11>were some of the same predictions that wasn't quite as consequential,

0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:09.359
<v Speaker 11>but there was predictions about how this would destroy certain

0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:13.360
<v Speaker 11>business models. That was true, but it also created all

0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 11>sorts of new business models. I suspect we're going to

0:21:15.680 --> 0:21:18.280
<v Speaker 11>see that as people become more comfortable with all the

0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:21.080
<v Speaker 11>power that comes with AI, there's going to be new businesses,

0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:22.919
<v Speaker 11>a new job creation that it comes along with it,

0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:26.520
<v Speaker 11>in addition to people that build things, because people that

0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:29.480
<v Speaker 11>build things are in high demand. It's the great irony

0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:32.960
<v Speaker 11>of this moment of technological change, it's putting more and

0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:36.040
<v Speaker 11>more emphasis on people who can actually create the infrastructure

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:36.440
<v Speaker 11>of the future.

0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:38.199
<v Speaker 2>So I'm a race pointing that this narrative has come

0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.360
<v Speaker 2>from the likes of anthropic what's in it for them?

0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:42.560
<v Speaker 2>What do you think is in it for them?

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 11>Well, I'm not going to speculate on motivations of any

0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:47.720
<v Speaker 11>particular player, but I think.

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.720
<v Speaker 2>I need to interrogate the potential motivations though, of these

0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 2>individuals that run very launch companies that can have launch

0:21:54.280 --> 0:21:55.560
<v Speaker 2>consequences for this economy.

0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:59.160
<v Speaker 11>Well, you could you could imagine, you could imagine efforts

0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:03.880
<v Speaker 11>to shape the regularatry landscape. Depending on what relative position

0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:08.440
<v Speaker 11>someone's in, you could imagine that by positioning yourself as

0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:12.440
<v Speaker 11>someone who's seeking to protect against the downside, there's benefit

0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:15.560
<v Speaker 11>from a strategic perspective, from a marketing perspective. So I'm

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:18.560
<v Speaker 11>not going to pugne anybody's motives. I will say I

0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:22.359
<v Speaker 11>think I think a one sided story about AI is

0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:29.080
<v Speaker 11>really both misguided and really damaging to America's ability to

0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:31.280
<v Speaker 11>lead and compete. And that's not to say that we

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:35.560
<v Speaker 11>shouldn't have a fully rich and honest conversation about all

0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:40.040
<v Speaker 11>the possibilities, but it offers enormous potential. And in the

0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:45.480
<v Speaker 11>history of humankind, these moments have created unbelievable prosperity. And

0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:47.760
<v Speaker 11>I think this is another But this may be, you know,

0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:49.760
<v Speaker 11>in all of our lifetime, is certainly the most consequential

0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 11>thing that's happening, but it may be the most consequential

0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:55.440
<v Speaker 11>thing that's happened in humankind. I mean, this is amazing,

0:22:55.480 --> 0:22:56.359
<v Speaker 11>the pace of change.

0:22:56.440 --> 0:22:58.840
<v Speaker 6>I know you're a free market supporter. What do you

0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 6>make of this administration weigh and taking equity stakes in

0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:03.000
<v Speaker 6>some of these AI companies.

0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:07.360
<v Speaker 11>Well, I think the you know, I'm a markets person,

0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:10.800
<v Speaker 11>a free market person, but I think we sort of

0:23:10.840 --> 0:23:12.919
<v Speaker 11>lost the narrative to some degree. And I saw that

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:19.359
<v Speaker 11>particularly during COVID, when we were dependent on others for semiconductors,

0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:25.240
<v Speaker 11>for pharmaceuticals. We had let our commitment to markets essentially

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:27.800
<v Speaker 11>make us dependent. And so I think that there are

0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:31.000
<v Speaker 11>certain industries, certain technologies, certain capabilities that we really do

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:33.560
<v Speaker 11>need to have control of, need to have at home,

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:38.080
<v Speaker 11>and so the government playing a role in ensuring that's

0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:41.760
<v Speaker 11>the case is I think is good makes sense, good

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:44.360
<v Speaker 11>common sense. I think the problem is the slippery slope.

0:23:44.480 --> 0:23:46.640
<v Speaker 11>So you have to be very thoughtful about where those

0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:50.080
<v Speaker 11>lines are, what really is a necessity from a national

0:23:50.080 --> 0:23:54.600
<v Speaker 11>security perspective, and what is ultimately can be done in

0:23:54.600 --> 0:23:55.520
<v Speaker 11>contributing quickly.

0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:58.200
<v Speaker 6>They're talking about taking an equity stake when maybe anthropic,

0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:01.000
<v Speaker 6>but the d D has it supply chain risk.

0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:02.560
<v Speaker 5>How does this make any sense?

0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:06.760
<v Speaker 11>Well, you have a pace of change where new models

0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:10.399
<v Speaker 11>are being created that pose new challenges and new risks.

0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:13.639
<v Speaker 11>So I think the government is quite rightly wrestling in

0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:16.840
<v Speaker 11>the Trump administrations, wrestling with how to play a constructive

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:20.240
<v Speaker 11>role in the safeguards at the same time not standing

0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:22.520
<v Speaker 11>in the way of this remarkable innovation which is so

0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 11>critical to our future. So it's a balancing Actually it

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:27.280
<v Speaker 11>takes a little bit while to get it right. The

0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:31.040
<v Speaker 11>thing I always say is we shouldn't be setting precedents

0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:33.960
<v Speaker 11>or putting any policies in place that we as Republicans

0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:36.840
<v Speaker 11>or Conservatives wouldn't be comfortable with the next team if

0:24:36.880 --> 0:24:39.159
<v Speaker 11>the next team isn't aligned ideologically. So we need to

0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:42.600
<v Speaker 11>think about this in nonpartisan a political terms. How should

0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:45.000
<v Speaker 11>the government engage in such a way to maintain leadership,

0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:49.520
<v Speaker 11>protect innovation, guard against the worst impulses with a healthy

0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:53.440
<v Speaker 11>recognition that Ronald Reagan's line about the scariest words that

0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:55.040
<v Speaker 11>you could ever hear is I'm here from the government.

0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:55.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm here to help you.

0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:59.720
<v Speaker 11>We need to recognize the government's probably not equipped to

0:24:59.720 --> 0:25:02.200
<v Speaker 11>get to actively engage in some of these topics.

0:25:02.320 --> 0:25:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Sent it's a one fund of word if you can.

0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:06.280
<v Speaker 2>We brought up Kevin Walsh new FED chat. What do

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:08.600
<v Speaker 2>you think people are getting wrong about this guy? Because

0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:10.960
<v Speaker 2>the auditoring conclusions about what this FED will deliver in

0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:12.680
<v Speaker 2>the coming months. What do you think people are getting wrong?

0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:19.320
<v Speaker 11>Well, he is a very very gifted person and he

0:25:19.400 --> 0:25:22.520
<v Speaker 11>understands markets, but understands the FED. I think he has

0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:26.120
<v Speaker 11>a reformer's heart, a reformers instinct. So if you look

0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:27.800
<v Speaker 11>at the ideas that he's put for he's been talking

0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:30.800
<v Speaker 11>about this for years. He's I got a big vision

0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:33.000
<v Speaker 11>I think for the future FED. And he's also very

0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:36.120
<v Speaker 11>astute politically, So for example, the task forces that were

0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 11>set up, I think is a mechanism for creating a

0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:42.000
<v Speaker 11>blueprint for the future, but also bringing people on board.

0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 11>So reformer a change agent, but someone who's going to

0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:47.760
<v Speaker 11>do it with a lot of political agility and success.

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:49.359
<v Speaker 2>Would I'd like to run one of those tasks, Foss.

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 5>I've got my hands for this.

0:25:51.640 --> 0:25:51.960
