1 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Surveillance. I think one of the challenges 2 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 1: has been that the Fed and other central banks want inflation, 3 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,239 Speaker 1: that they don't want too much inflation. What's holding us 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: back at home is not what we're spending on national security. 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: It's what we're not doing domestically. The lack of a creative, 6 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: fistical response two years on acceptably low growth is the 7 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: real story here. Bloomberg Surveillance your link to the world 8 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: of economics, finance, and investment on Bloomberg Radio Morning Everyone, 9 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Surveillance, Tom keene and Michael mckeeth thrilled youer with 10 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: us this morning worldwide. Of course, the President in Japan 11 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: his press conference earlier was really quite something.

Investco believes 16 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: it is time to say goodbye to the traditional stock 17 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: by allocations say hello to alternatives as a court part 18 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: the modern portfolios. Learning more at invesco dot com, slash 19 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: Alts James Bullard of St. Louis usually speaking with our 20 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: Michael McKee. He's in Singapore and he's making some really 21 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: interesting and tangible headlines. He talks about the dot plot. 22 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: He says the FED could have avoided the mess by 23 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: not guiding with the dot plot. Jim Buller says the 24 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: f O m C got a little burned with the 25 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: dot plot in December. In January for the summer, Diane 26 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: Swans getting a dot plot in her left arm. She 27 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: joins the ds economic Chicago, Liven and Color here in 28 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: New York. How silly is the dot plots? Dump the 29 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: dots the dots. There was an intent behind him, and 30 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: you know my friend Charlie Ovans, he was part of that. 31 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: He believed in the dots. The problem is they got 32 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: used to hate to use the word. People confuse what 33 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: politics and the FED are versus politics outside of the 34 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: head in Washington, but it was used for people to 35 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: put extreme views. Remember in December, Cocola Coota was leaving 36 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: UM from the Minneapolis FED, and you know here they 37 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: went ahead and UM raised rates for the first time 38 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: in December. Yet there was a negative interest rate on 39 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: that dot plot. It was kind of confusing who put 40 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: a negative interest rate all of a sudden on the 41 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: dot plot. It got to be so that people who 42 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: had extreme views could express their extreme views rather than 43 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: really say where the consensus of the FED was. What 44 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: is great about swank economics is you're ecumenical. I never 45 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: get the sense that you've got an angle or a 46 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: political angle. How philosophically divided is this Fed? But when 47 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: the traditional bounds freshwater, salt water, Great Lakes economics Georgia 48 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: School of timber Lake and Robert mcterial, what's what's the 49 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: politics of the Federal Actually, you know, I think they're more. 50 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: There wasn't some very deep division is I think now 51 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 1: they're more in Unison, and I think it's wrong to 52 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: talk about hawks and doves. I do think it was 53 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: interesting that hearkened Um said said he was an eagle 54 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: out of the Philly FED. The bottom line is they're 55 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: now flocking together, singing in Unison after all this dissonance. 56 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: And what we're seeing is everyone is concerned within the 57 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,959 Speaker 1: Federal Reserve that the markets got it wrong. Now, let's 58 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: face that the markets have been more right than the 59 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: fet is on their own dot plots. Um, But What 60 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,679 Speaker 1: they're worried about is the markets. As Jim Bullard said, 61 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: no normal um, no normalization. The markets are not pricing 62 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: in enough of great hikes over the next up. We 63 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: have a we have a thing that we do in 64 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: America where we look at the dynamics of say, income 65 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: statement economics, and we avoid the old world of balance 66 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: sheet economics. Is this a FED ignorant of the need 67 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: to clear markets. I don't think they're ignorant. I think 68 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: the fet is what we've seen is the transparency that 69 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: we've seen out there has really been as I've talked 70 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: about before, We've seen the sausage being made, and we 71 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: don't like the blood. We don't like seeing all we 72 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: don't want to be. We don't need in the back 73 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: of the kitchen of a great restaurant. That's what we're 74 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: seeing today, and now I think the FED is trying 75 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: to rein it in a little bit. What's interesting is 76 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: it really is not easy to corral these cats, and 77 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: the fact that they're all starting to sing in unison 78 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: means there actually is a consensus building and it's not 79 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: as divided as it once was. Now, what does that 80 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: mean for the next grade hike? They can divide real 81 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: quickly again because there is a difference on how much 82 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: within the Fed, how much overshooting and inflation do we 83 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: allow um Stan Fisher vice cho the FED really wouldn't 84 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: like to see any overshooting where Cherry Yelling and hers 85 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: is the largest vote. Once over, another Jim Bullard headline, 86 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: he wades into the Brexit debate. This is important again, 87 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: Brexit isn't global financial event. It's seen as being. Jim 88 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: Bullard was some some real pushback to the consensus and 89 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: the belief right now whether it's global headwinds or not. 90 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: Give us some measurement right now of Cherry Yelling's attention 91 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: on international econ well, she revealed her hand when she 92 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: talked about China um and you saw this sort of 93 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: debbish um speech by yellin she's speaking again on June six. 94 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: That's going to be a pivotal point because that's after 95 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: the jobs report, after the Job's report, but really right 96 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: before the blackout period. So this is her chance to 97 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: put in we've heard this unison, the shift towards rate 98 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: hikes in June or July. UM At the end of 99 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: the day, it's Cherry Allen's vote that matters the most, 100 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: and that will be the deciding factor. But it is 101 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: interesting as Leo Brainard, who's Photo Reserve governor, she's really 102 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: brought into the equation much more of the international and 103 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: it really is something that has been a criticism of 104 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: the FED, and I think they're trying to grapple with 105 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: it now. Is how do you have a mandate on 106 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: the domestic economy and then say, you know, the international 107 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: world matters, but it doesn't. It does, okay, But to 108 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: the domestic economy, we have inflation and we all know 109 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: those vectors, but we're nowhere overshooting them. We're still undershooting. 110 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: And that's the point. And so you know, I think 111 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: the important part for the FED too is that you know, 112 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: they're starting to get to the point where they really lies. 113 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: You know, there is no Las Vegas in the world. 114 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: What happens abroad comes back to us. There is no 115 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: place where it just stays there. Um. I don't know 116 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: the Las Vegas days there either, But that's that's the 117 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: important point, is what happens abroad matters, and we have 118 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: to think about how those waves show up on our 119 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 1: own shore and how high those waves are. So far, 120 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: we've been able The good news is if our domestic 121 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: economy can weather it, that's good. Um, there's some things 122 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: that you just have to punt on. It mean, if 123 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,679 Speaker 1: China melts down, and I think they're seeing a financial 124 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: crisis in China down the road, I think that would 125 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: be one of the greatest challenges. Well. The other great 126 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: thing about swank economics with your bank one days and 127 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: working with James Diamond in another lifetime and the idea 128 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,799 Speaker 1: of what you did at Mezzo now at DS Economics 129 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: is this real understanding of two America's. There's a huge 130 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: body of America. I mean, is is cher Yelling managing 131 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: the FED for a gilded age in a plutocracy. She 132 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: would say no, no, I would argue, you know, And 133 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: this is where she's really gotten a bad rap. I mean, 134 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: you know, I think she felt really sideswiped, and we 135 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 1: saw the shellack and she took in Congress when she 136 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: did the Humphrey Hawke what was used to the Humphrey Hawkins. 137 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: She is someone who has really lived the nineteen The 138 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: difference between her and stand Fishers Yelling saw the nineteen nineties. 139 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: She sees an opportunity to overshoot on unemployment and re 140 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: engage workers, which is beginning to happen that have been sidelined, 141 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: that people thought there's skills at after feed, they'll never 142 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: work again. She sees an opportunity to overshoot, and she 143 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: remembers when all you needed to get a job with 144 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 1: a false and she wants to get to some of 145 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: that with some wage acceleration. And she's been disappointed that 146 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: we've not seen more of it, but she has been proven. Right. Then, 147 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: where are you on the unemployment right, Dean Mackie At 148 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: point seven two x Barclays takes the vector all the 149 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: way down to four point two, four point one, even 150 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: four point zero unemployment. It is it is beyond thinking 151 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: that we could get Jim Bullard's no normalization or slow 152 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: normalization with a vector moving to four percent unemployment. Well, 153 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: not necessarily, I mean, depends on how fast the Fed moves. 154 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: I think, you know, the issue is how much labor 155 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: force participation do we get. I don't think I don't 156 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: think we're at the full employment tipping point that some 157 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: people think we are. We are having age acceleration, we're 158 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: having some traction, but a lot of us coming from 159 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: minimum wages at the state and local level being raised, 160 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: and that's starting to finally hit a tipping point. It's 161 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: coming from We are seeing entry level new college grads 162 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: finally seeing it. But what we're not seeing it is 163 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: jen X, which is this smaller population that was These 164 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: are people in their thirties and forties. They are the 165 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: ones who we saw the reduction participation rate, We saw 166 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: a reduction homeownership. That's where the sweet spot of people's 167 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: earning potential is. And if they're not seeing acceleration, you 168 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: don't get as much attraction. But this is a social question. 169 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: Now can those kids to us their kids? Can those 170 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: kids that's revealing our age, I'm revealing my age. Can 171 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: those kids get back to normal with the new terminal 172 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: rate of g d P? I would suggest they can't. 173 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: UM Well, Interestingly, I you know, Larry Somers has an 174 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,439 Speaker 1: interesting chart that he tweeted and I had to retweet 175 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: it out. He shows that, UM, the Great Depression had 176 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: this big V shape. But if you if you index 177 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: both the Great Depression and the Great Recession with the 178 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: growth rates we have projected, you end up at the 179 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: same end point in that you do, right, So it's 180 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: still not this subpar growth has eroded things, and it 181 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: mass growth and its aggregate has massed the great inequalities, 182 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: and that's why we're seeing this anger. I mean, you 183 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: can look at I mean the frustration that the poles is, 184 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: you know, the sense of stagnation or a little growth. 185 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: It's not enough. You know, we need to see more 186 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: wage games and people who have there are a lot 187 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: of people have really lost a lot of income. What 188 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: you run right on GDP twelve months, I'm still you know, 189 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: unfortunately two percent. Yeah, you know, I'd like to have 190 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: stronger It's not good enough. We're gonna have a big 191 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: bounce back in the second quarter and part of that, 192 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: you know, um seasonal, and we are regaining traction. But 193 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: the bottom line is, you know, I'd love to be wrong. 194 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: I want to be wrong. I want to have a 195 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: stronger economy and I want the BED to have to normalize. 196 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: Rates pretty good in you a Diane Swank of DS Economics, 197 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: futures flat, They're up a little more.

Fixed 257 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: trading thirteen point eight nine in the equity market, A 258 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,359 Speaker 1: good feel to the market. One are the great advantages 259 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: of slogging my way through Bloomberg surveillance every morning? Is 260 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 1: Michael McKee has talked to every FED president fourteen times. 261 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe, excuse me, mix. San Francisco is a 262 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: long ways away. It's only twelve times. They're Jim Bullard speaking. 263 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: But Mike put it in only the context you can 264 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: put it in. Is it a redux the previous moments 265 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: or is there something original to his comments in Singapore? 266 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 1: Nothing particularly original. He rearranged some of the paragraphs the 267 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: same speech that he gave in Beijing on Monday, uncharacteristically 268 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: neutral for him, perhaps because he's speaking to an overseas audience. 269 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: But if you read between the lines, he's outlining the 270 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: reasons why the Fed feels that it can go ahead 271 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: and raise rates. The labor markets are strong, inflation is rising, 272 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: and particularly international headwinds have died down. You're all right 273 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: over there replaying the Sharks. Rachel, Sharks did well. Rachel 274 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: Worstpan told me that the only reason Diane Swak agree 275 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 1: to appear today is because the White Sox and the 276 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: Cubs are in the first place, then that makes them all. 277 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: It makes Chicagoans even more crazy, you know, because then 278 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: it's like civil war. Have you ever gone, like in 279 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: a weekend to both parks? That is so cool. I 280 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: have gone to both parks, not on the same weekend. 281 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: I've done to day that is yeah, Cobbe doubleheader and 282 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: you know they played a lot of day games in 283 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: White Sox Nightcap. Get the name bringing her steam goest 284 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: Michael Well, of course. Dann Swawka is a long time 285 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: member of the Extended Surveillance family. She now learns her 286 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: own firm dancewalking associates in what town is it? Chica? 287 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: And I note you and Tom we're talking about the 288 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: fact that you are from multiple zip codes away from here. Uh, 289 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: the markets and um, the folks on Wall Street tend 290 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: to have a fairly pessimistic outlook about how things are going. 291 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: And people in Washington, to hear them tell it, Hell 292 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: in a handbasket is probably an optimistic view. But they're 293 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: running for office, so they have to say things are terrible. 294 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: But what does it look like in the real America? 295 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: You know? Um, it depends on who you are, right 296 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: and where you live. It isn't. Um. Chicago is now 297 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: one of the most segregated cities in the country. We 298 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: have UM neighborhoods that are on par with Sam Paulo 299 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: in terms of violence and poverty, which is really sad 300 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: and UM a troubling issue. So we're seeing things where 301 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: at the cutting edge in Illinois of much of what 302 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: the country has to deal with going forward, and that 303 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: is everything from income inequalities, the race issues, to the 304 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: budget issues. I mean, Illinois is you want a munch 305 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: on your Greek yogurt while you're there? Um, it really 306 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: has some severe financial problems as well. That said, there 307 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: are some really interesting things happening where we're getting a 308 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: lot of headquarters in the city. Some of the headquarters 309 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: I split them into two categories. We've got headquarters that 310 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: are moving from the suburbs and downsizing and moving into 311 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: the city and UM trading baby boomers are retiring out 312 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: for younger talented millennials and so you're getting some affluence there. UM, 313 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: but they're downsizing. Well that's the question. Yeah, you can 314 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: have headquarters and that's ceo s and they make seven 315 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: figure paychecks, but what about for the average guy O 316 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: our jobs being created, didn't and are those jobs starting 317 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: to pay more in the Midwest. Well, you know, it 318 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: depends on where you are. Now, we have also a 319 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: tech sector. We've got Google, We've got a lot of 320 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: startups that are that are on the tech side of it, 321 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: that are growing rapidly and paying well. So we do 322 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: have that side of it. There's sort of that Silicon 323 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: Prairie thing um going and we're cheaper than clearly you 324 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: know in San Francisco, um. But and we do have 325 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: a lot of universities and institutions to tap into. So 326 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: there is that positive side of it. But there's a 327 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: real divide in terms of the corporate headquarters in Chicago. 328 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: Ones that reflect restructuring and are just bringing just the 329 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: affluent in a very small group of people into Chicago, 330 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: although it's good for Chicago because they need that. And 331 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: then there's the ones that are more the growing and 332 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: the vibrant pie side of the economy. And you know, 333 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: at the same time, Chicago's had the overshadowing of the 334 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: steel industry has gone bus We now have steel tariffs 335 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: coming in. The steel industry was linked very closely to 336 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 1: the shale boom. Also, the rail industry very closely linked 337 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: to the shale boom. Trucking very closely linked to the 338 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: shie boom. So we've had some of the residual effects 339 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: on the downside of oil, even though it used to 340 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: be that lower oil prices were huge positive for US. 341 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: I know Tom has has probably asked you this, but 342 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: I gotta follow up it. Say, is then Illinois fertile 343 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: ground and Wisconsin because you're only a few miles from there. Uh, 344 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: fertile ground for a populist challenger for the presidency who 345 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: may not have any economic plans but has the message 346 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: of anger. Um. I think Michigan is more fertile ground 347 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: since I'm from Michigan. I mean remember the Michigan Militia. 348 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: They trained Timothy McVeigh and UM, I watched the whole 349 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: Um what happened, Um as union workers joined the military 350 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: and then we're taken out the military and they started 351 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: doing war games and in the woods. Um, Michigan I 352 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: think is more at risk. UM, talking to my friends 353 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: that are political handicappers in Midwest is where this battle 354 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: is going to be fought out. And you know Illinois 355 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: has a lot of anger as well. But um, it's 356 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: a there is a difference that you've got the minority 357 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: anger because there's neighborhoods that have been very isolated, and 358 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 1: the blue collar anger is a little different equation. Um, 359 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: the unions are still pretty strong in Illinois, Tom I 360 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: I would suggest that perhaps the turning point for the 361 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: election may be found in who plays in the World 362 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: Series come October. If you get the Cubs and the 363 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: White Sox, that would be in such a good mood. Yes, 364 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: but I've been listening to you guys go on about this, 365 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: and I think Diana, it's a huge value to have 366 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: you on about this. What how do you speak to 367 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: the independence in the Rust belt States? What what is 368 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: your prescription for finding residents with those We're gonna have 369 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: to We're gonna have to leave her, We're gonna have 370 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: to continue this conversation with Diane Swak would just simply 371 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: run out of the can sit and conversation. Well there 372 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: it is, UM a lot going on. Let me get 373 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: over to my data screen.
