I just want to 16 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 5: ask you. 17 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 2: You know, I'm hoping you're getting more information than we 18 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: are about what is in this MoU. Are you getting 19 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 2: any more information and could you share any of it 20 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 2: with us this morning? 21 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 6: Well, good morning, and Johnny is always welcomed both for 22 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 6: you all in my constituents. But you know, this morning 23 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 6: I have to report I'm sorry to say that I 24 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 6: don't have more information than what's being publicly reported. And 25 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 6: as a member of Congress, as a member of the 26 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 6: Foreign Affairs Committee, I'm actually getting very little information about 27 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 6: the MoU I've seen nothing, I've heard nothing from the 28 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 6: administration or from my Republican colleagues as to what it 29 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 6: might actually include. This is now the fortieth time though 30 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 6: the President has announced a deal or a deal for 31 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 6: a deal, so you can color me skeptical that we 32 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 6: might actually get this done. I'm really worried when I 33 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 6: see that Iran is questioning whether or not the deal 34 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 6: is finalized or when they're going to sign it. So, unfortunately, 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 6: I don't have any information I can share that's already 36 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 6: that's not already been publicly reported by you and others. 37 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 3: We see the President upset with comparisons to the JCPOA. 38 00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: I want to look at the other side of that coin, 39 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 3: and I wonder if you, as a Democratic congressman, are 40 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 3: at all cheered by the fact that what might be 41 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 3: agreed to here is something that, at least in broad strokes, 42 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 3: resembles that deal that was put in place by the 43 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 3: Obama administration. 44 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 6: Absolutely, look the JCPOA was not perfect, but it certainly 45 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 6: put constraints on the Iranian nuclear program. And it would 46 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 6: be a really big shame to go through all of 47 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 6: this process of having prices up at the gas station 48 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 6: in the grocery store, having lost service members, and having 49 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 6: spent tens of billions of dollars to not have something 50 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,839 Speaker 6: as good, if not stronger, than what we already had 51 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 6: with the JCPOA. 52 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 7: We got to. 53 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 6: Remember that the President Trump came in tore up that agreement, 54 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 6: which actually accelerated the nuclear program in Iran that led 55 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 6: to this moment. So I obviously want to see a deal. 56 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 6: I don't want to see Iran become a nuclear capable country, 57 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 6: and so obviously whatever deal we do have has to 58 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 6: have constraints around those nuclear ambitions. 59 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 5: The President is heading after this spectacle. 60 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 2: Well eightieth birthday party, eighth Birthday party, cage match on 61 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 2: the South Lawn. He will then head to the G 62 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: seven and Avion is a tense time with European leaders 63 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 2: and this comes on some reports, especially the New York Times, 64 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: about the US pulling forces, pulling assets out of Europe. 65 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: The Times is reporting this includes in addition to those 66 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 2: troop movements that we've heard coming out of Germany. They're 67 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: reducing F sixteen, F fifteen E fighters, maritime reconnaissance aircrafts, 68 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 2: and missile launching submarines from the region. 69 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 5: Do we know why that's happening? 70 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: And are you concerned about us pulling out of European 71 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: security or is the president right in Europe should be 72 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: doing more to protect itself. 73 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 8: I think both things can be true. 74 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 7: At the same time. 75 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 6: Europe and other countries around the world obviously should be 76 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 6: investing more in their national defense, and I see a 77 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 6: lot of our allies are doing exactly that. So I 78 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 6: think in light of that, we should be strengthening our 79 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 6: resolve with our partners. We have to remember that in 80 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 6: nine to eleven was the only time the Mutual Aid 81 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 6: Defense Clause of NATO was invoked. Those allies came to 82 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 6: our defense in aid when we were in our biggest 83 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 6: moment of need. So I actually think that we should 84 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 6: continue to push these allies to invest more in their 85 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 6: defense spending and their capabilities, but that should not come 86 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 6: at the expense of our partnership and being a presence 87 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 6: alongside those allies. 88 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 3: Can I ask you a kind of off the wall 89 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 3: question here. I know you represent the second district and 90 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 3: that includes Baltimore County part of Baltimore City, and we've 91 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 3: talked so much about the straight upfor moves and the 92 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 3: difficulties that that's placed on global shipping. I know Baltimore 93 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 3: to be a massive port in this country, and I'm 94 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 3: wondering what you're hearing from your constituents just about the 95 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: ripple effects of that prolonged closure that we've seen over 96 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 3: the last one hundred plus days. 97 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 8: How that's affecting business in your neck of the woods. 98 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, look at the Port of Baltimore has had record years, 99 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 6: and I'm proud to represent the Baltimore area. Fortunately, we 100 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 6: have not seen significant impacts in terms of that kind 101 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 6: of maritime traffic. But what I can say is my constituents, 102 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 6: like Americans across this country, are being absolutely crushed at 103 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 6: the pomp they're seeing and at the grocery store through 104 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 6: things like fertilizer. They know that we've spent tens of 105 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 6: billions of dollars. You know, Congress and my Republican colleagues 106 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 6: couldn't find a way to fund the healthcare tax credits, 107 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 6: but we could spend tens of billions of dollars with 108 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 6: no problem for a war. We have billions of dollars 109 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 6: for bombs. We have nothing for basics. And I think 110 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 6: my constituents are frustrated that they see this war being exercised. 111 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 6: We're not seeing a conclusion to it. It's as unpopular 112 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 6: as both the Iraq War and the Vietnam War. And 113 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 6: as that's happening. You mentioned the UFC fight. I mean, 114 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 6: this is one of many instances where President Trump has 115 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 6: actually enriched himself over four billion dollars, including buying oil 116 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 6: companies when the stocks were dropping, over a war that 117 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 6: he controls basically, and he can sort of set the 118 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 6: terms of when his stock portfolio goes up. And I 119 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 6: think that that's frustrating for people who are struggling to 120 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 6: pay their bills. 121 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 2: When you look at what the president says, he's trying 122 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 2: to get done quite quickly. You know, he wants as 123 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: signed by today, signaling from Tehran that that's not going 124 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 2: to happen, but it could happen in the next couple 125 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 2: of days. Although our college josh Win Grove just talked 126 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 2: to us from a very very empty venue in Geneva, 127 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: so not clear if this is happening on the ground 128 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: could be a virtual signing. We don't know. But one 129 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: thing the President said in his true social message was 130 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 2: the Strait will be immediately open following this. I want 131 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 2: to get your take on that, because one of the 132 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 2: things we've been talking a lot about here is being 133 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: nominally open and functionally open are two separate things. And 134 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 2: whether or not these shipping companies, these maritime officers and 135 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: crews are going to be willing to take the risk 136 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 2: to go back into this strait given the unshureness and 137 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: durability of this agreement, especially that it's got a second 138 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 2: tranch and a whole second thing to be worked out 139 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 2: thirty sixty days from now. 140 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's a very real concern that you 141 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 6: raised there. And I don't want to speak for private 142 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 6: business as to what decisions they'll make, what business decisions 143 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 6: they will or won't make. Obviously, we want to see 144 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 6: that traffic reopen, but this agreement is just getting us 145 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 6: back to a place where the Strait was open prior 146 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 6: to the war. And if the agreement actually holds, we 147 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 6: still have a long way to go in terms of 148 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 6: conversations around sanctions, conversations around the Iranian nuclear program, and 149 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 6: so I am gone to hold my breath over this 150 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 6: one because I just unfortunately, I've seen this president saying 151 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,679 Speaker 6: things time and time again, not just about how short 152 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 6: this war will be, but about lowering costs on day one, 153 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 6: about releasing the Epstein files, about having Mexico build a wall. 154 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 6: I mean, it's sort of been lie after lie. So 155 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 6: it's hard to take the President as his word on 156 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 6: any of this stuff. But again, I am rooting for 157 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 6: success here. I want to see it as an American, 158 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 6: but I just given the President's track record, I'm having 159 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 6: a hard time really buying into that this is going 160 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 6: to come through this time. 161 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 8: But I'm hoping it does. 162 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 3: God about a minute left when you're in the end 163 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 3: of the Supreme Court term. Got twenty other opinions we're 164 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 3: waiting on here. You've put forward the Roebant suggesting there 165 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 3: should be term limits on the justice as we heard 166 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 3: Pete Buddah, judge former secretary talking about that this week 167 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: as well. Is it gathering steam as you see at 168 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 3: the movement to place those limits on these justices? 169 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 6: Absolutely, and I welcome Secretary Buddha Jedge's support. I know 170 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 6: Governor Dasher recently came out in favor of our proposal, 171 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 6: and so we're really seeing not just national figures, but 172 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 6: this is something overwhelmingly supported by Americans of all political variety. 173 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 6: Over seventy five percent of Democrats, Republicans independent support these 174 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 6: term limits for justices. We're seeing these rulings that are 175 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 6: undoing decades of precedents. While there are incredibly awful ethical 176 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 6: lapses by our justices. I don't think our founders and 177 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 6: vision justice is serving twenty five thirty years. It was 178 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 6: actually much less. And so this is a common sense reform. 179 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 6: I hope we all can get behind. 180 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 3: Hareksman, Thank you very much, Johnny CHEFSKT joining us, Johnny, Oh, 181 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,839 Speaker 3: stay with us for more on Bloomberg this weekend. Right 182 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 3: after this, all. 183 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 2: Right, let's head back to where I believe, I believe 184 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 2: we have Bloomberg. Senior White House correspondent Josh Wingrove, Josh, 185 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 2: it's so lovely. 186 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 5: To see you. 187 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 9: Good morning. I'm sorry, but. 188 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: It is not always so magical. We're glad we got 189 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 2: you now. We hope you had a love all right, 190 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 2: So we're trying to figure out what is actually going on. 191 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 2: I had Midia sources telling me. They were heading your direction, 192 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: looking at venues ready to set up this signing ceremony. 193 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: Now we're hearing it could possibly be a digital ceremony. 194 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 2: Do we think this is something that will be happening 195 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 2: in person or do we think this is something that 196 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 2: is going to happen before the President gets on the 197 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 2: plane and shows up at G seven. 198 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 9: I mean, it seems like anything in person is off 199 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 9: the table, and you can hear, maybe from the echo 200 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 9: in my voice, I'm the only person here, like there's 201 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 9: nothing happen in Geneva right now. So there's nothing but 202 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 9: even the virtual signing. There are questions about that today 203 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 9: with Taran pushing back, according to a state media reporter, 204 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 9: but whether that will happen, you should know today is 205 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 9: the president's birthday, so he wanted this deal for his 206 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,479 Speaker 9: zadi if and it doesn't look like that will necessarily materialize. 207 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 9: Although we have radio silence right now from the Americans, 208 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 9: including on what would be in this MoU to Finer's points, 209 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 9: let me just respond to a couple of them. It's 210 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 9: absolutely true, at least from the press perspective, that we 211 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 9: have not seen point form at all in writing either, 212 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 9: you know, on background or something published on a government 213 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 9: website or something what is on the table or what 214 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 9: is The Americans have been downplaying stuff that is coming 215 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 9: out of the region, particularly from the Americans, saying, don't 216 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 9: believe everything you read, but they aren't offering their own 217 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 9: position again, and that is absolutely true. I think one 218 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 9: thing that we have heard from a senior Administration official 219 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,679 Speaker 9: on Friday in a briefing when it comes to that 220 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 9: diluting of the uranium, is that the American position is 221 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 9: that it will be diluted on site and then removed. Again. 222 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 9: Iran has not backed that up, but they're sort of 223 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 9: trying to do both, as opposed to either removing it 224 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 9: immediately or diluting in a place and leaving it with 225 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 9: the Iranians. So a lot of questions swirling here. Of course, 226 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 9: it's going to be on the agenda the President arriving 227 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 9: for the summit in Evion, France, is just up the 228 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 9: lake from here in Geneva. Geneva is already cracking down, 229 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 9: so protesters will be face quite the gauntlet run I think, 230 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 9: to gather in the city or should they decide to 231 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 9: do that. But we're going to see where it goes. 232 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 9: But right now. It just seems so so fluid right now, 233 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 9: and whether they're going to get anything on this. And 234 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 9: one final point on the cash, mister Finer and many 235 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 9: others are right to point out that there's virtually no 236 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 9: one expects a deal to come here without at least 237 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 9: some release of something. You know, the US official on 238 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 9: Friday saying the US open to both lifting sanctions and 239 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 9: unfreezing assets. Trump is drawing a line in the sand 240 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 9: on sending direct cash from the Americans. We don't know 241 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 9: yet whether cash come from other sort of allied countries 242 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 9: or if it's just simply unfreezing abassets table. 243 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 2: Also, that seems to be a very specific parsing of words, 244 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 2: like it's not cash, you're not getting palettes of cash, 245 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: but you can send money other ways, including unlocking some 246 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 2: of these funds in Oman and you A, yeah, still musing. 247 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 3: On what this signing might look like as well, Josh, 248 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 3: I mean, I assume what at least I hope there's 249 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 3: two factor authentifications. 250 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 9: DOCU sign haunts us all David, and I think it 251 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 9: haunts this administration as well, and we're just going to 252 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 9: see one step at a time where it goes. I 253 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 9: think that this is just very fluid and we just 254 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 9: don't know where it's going to land. The President, of course, 255 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 9: is facing political pressure. I think we can sometimes have 256 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 9: slept on the fact, particular the audiences is abroad. His 257 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 9: poll numbers, including on handling the economy, are at or 258 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 9: near all time lows. Handling the economy was like silver bullet, right. 259 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 9: That used to be the one thing that you could 260 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 9: to sort of dine out on. And even in the 261 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 9: you know, aftermath of some of the lowest moments, that 262 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 9: held firm. So he's under a lot of political pressure 263 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 9: here and perhaps it's you know, that could be why 264 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 9: the Iranians are seem to be ragging the puck, to 265 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 9: use a Canadian term. This morning, we. 266 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 5: Switzerland. Yeah, you're gonna be good hands, Josh. 267 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 3: As we draw from what John Finder had to say, 268 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 3: there was a moment where Christina brought up kind of 269 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 3: this comparison. 270 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 8: To what we saw in the JCPOA and it is. 271 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 3: Clear that this is a comparison that is rankling President Trump. 272 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 3: I wonder if you could talk a bit about that. 273 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 3: So we've touched on frozen assets, the prospect for on 274 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 3: getting some money cash otherwise restored as a result of 275 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 3: this deal. But this is the JCPOA, something of the 276 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 3: present has talked about and not trumpet but quite the 277 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 3: opposite for most of his political career. Here he tore 278 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 3: it apart the minute that he got into to office. 279 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 3: Why does it rankle him so much? Indeed, how close 280 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 3: is it is you see and other observers as we 281 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 3: kind of piece together what this amount of understanding. 282 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 7: Might look like. 283 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 9: One through line of all his commentary in the last 284 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 9: several weeks has been an apparent nervousness that whatever he 285 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 9: signed is compared to the JCPOA, because of course, if 286 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 9: it looks a lot like the JCPOA, or if it 287 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 9: walks like the JCPOA and clacks like the JCPOA, then 288 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 9: what was the point of all? This will be the 289 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 9: question that a lot of people are asking, right, not 290 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 9: only withdrawing from that deal in the first place, but 291 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 9: last year's bombing campaign and this year's full more fuller, 292 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 9: fret fledged mission. So I think that's why you're seeing 293 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 9: him digging on the palids of cash. And to the 294 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 9: point of inspections that John Feiner raised that did come 295 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 9: up with that senior US official on Friday who said 296 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 9: that there would be some sort of international verification and 297 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 9: supervision of this. That raised my eyebrows and a lot 298 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 9: of others because the US had not talked about that 299 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 9: so far. The Iranians certainly haven't talked about that. So 300 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 9: if that's true, that will sort of lend credence to 301 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 9: whatever in nuclear pledges are in any MoU that may 302 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 9: or may not be published by one or booth parties. 303 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 9: But if that's not true, then it passed out on it. 304 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 9: And if it is true, then another thing in force 305 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 9: is that it will continue to invite those comparisons to 306 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 9: the original deal that was. 307 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: You stole my next question because that was what I 308 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 2: was going to ask you. I mean, you know, Vienna's 309 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: not that far from where you are. I wonder if 310 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: any IEA folks are expected to show up at the 311 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: G seven and is that something that all these leaders 312 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: who have been reticent to get involved in this conflict, 313 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: much to President Trump's annoyance, might try to gently suggest 314 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 2: while they're on in the room with him, that maybe 315 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 2: this would be a way to facilitate this, and you know, 316 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 2: Iran might be admittable to restarting some of those inspections 317 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 2: by IEA folks who look. The criticism that Iran was 318 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: cheating is valid and something that people can get into. 319 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 2: But what we've heard from these inspectors is, even when 320 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 2: they know they're kind of trying to pull the wool 321 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 2: over their eyes, there are things they can see and 322 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 2: notice or the absence of which they noticed by being 323 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 2: on the ground. They tell me it's always valuable to 324 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 2: have some sort of presence of these inspectors. 325 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's a great point. And I think we're 326 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 9: just simply not in a position to know what or 327 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 9: you know, whether they're near agreement on this or what 328 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 9: the US is seeking. They simply, you know, haven't said 329 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 9: I think you know in the next few days. G 330 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 9: seven's have always been a bit bumpy for President Trump, 331 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 9: not only last year when we bailed on my home 332 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 9: nation of Canada early, and that he did not like 333 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 9: the Pomeroise suits, you know, the foothills of Alberta, my 334 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,359 Speaker 9: home province. 335 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 2: But much unexpected canadianness in this segment. 336 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 9: All right, I just tuck it in little easter eggs 337 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 9: for you all. But going back to the first term, 338 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 9: of course, you remember that like iconic photo of Merkle, 339 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 9: you know, lecturing him over a table when he sat 340 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 9: arms cross cranky. So we don't know what this is 341 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 9: going to look like, and it's it's unclear how amenable 342 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 9: he's going to be suggestions in this. But one thing 343 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 9: that our colleagues have reported is that the Europeans are 344 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 9: coming with a proposal on helping clear the straight seems 345 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 9: like Trump thinks that would be unnecessary or at least 346 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 9: too little, too late, But the Europeans are trying to 347 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 9: at least bring some sort of all up branch that 348 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 9: they want to get involved even when there's a deal, 349 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 9: to help, for instance, clear minds and other things to 350 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 9: ensure that the Strait is open. Of course, that has 351 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 9: been one of the things that Trump has really teased 352 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 9: as an immediate effect of what looks like it would 353 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 9: take shape as sort of a multi stage deal. Step 354 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 9: one does seem to be the quote unquote reopening of 355 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 9: the strait, and whether we see traff or resume. Remember, 356 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 9: the Americans in the last week or so have started saying, hey, surprise, 357 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 9: secretly overnight, we've been helping ships get through the strait safely. 358 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 9: Rains a bit fluid on how much of that has 359 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 9: been verified. 360 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 8: Josha Gott a minute left here. 361 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 3: We've talked about President Zelenski being present for the G seven. 362 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 3: There's going to be this kind of working group. What 363 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 3: is your sense from your reporting of what the White 364 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 3: House hopes to get out of that meeting again, not 365 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 3: a one on one, but a group meeting with the 366 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 3: Ukrainian president. 367 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 9: I think the hopes are on the other side. President 368 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 9: seems to have washed his hands a little bit of 369 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 9: the conflict. He wants an end to it. Generally, it 370 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 9: doesn't seem like he wants to put much capital into it. 371 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 9: The Europeans are hoping that, as always can remind him 372 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 9: of the Ukrainian perspective on it and hope that he 373 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 9: just doesn't walk away and give either implicit or even 374 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 9: more so explicit blessing to the continuation of the conflict. 375 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 9: We just don't know. But Trump has been pretty disinterested 376 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 9: in it for months now and just doesn't really talk 377 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 9: about it. So I think even the G six, if 378 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 9: you will, are going into that Zelensky situation with modest 379 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 9: expectations at best. 380 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 2: All right, Josh, wein Grove Area an interview with you, Josh, 381 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: and you've. 382 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 8: Exceeded You've met all of them. 383 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 9: Buddy, well good because there's no one else here to do. 384 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 9: This is it. 385 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 5: I hope you find some friends and your very lovely. 386 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 9: Compensation that may or may not of materialized.

I googled it. 389 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 2: It is a one hour very scenic drive along loche 390 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 2: Lemon to get to Avion from where you are. 391 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 9: So that's true. 392 00:17:58,800 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 8: That's not a large show. 393 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 5: Stay with us for more on Bloomberg this weekend. 394 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 3: Right after this, all right, the Knicks did it, as 395 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 3: we mentioned, winning their first NBA title in fifty three years, 396 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,359 Speaker 3: another come from behind winn, capping off an impressive string 397 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 3: of victories in the NBA playoffs. 398 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 2: Knicks fans, some have waited a long time, Some have 399 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 2: never seen a championship in the city before. 400 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 5: They were a bit overwhelmed with excitement. 401 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 10: We're in New York City. It's the Biggacy. It's some 402 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 10: of the biggest economic cities in the world. We just 403 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 10: won the NBA finals. Wip where signed fifty years If 404 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 10: this is insane, like, I don't know what, I don't know, howis. 405 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 8: Is describing joining us this morning? 406 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 3: Vanessa Perdomo host of the Business of Sports podcast on Blueberg, 407 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 3: and Evan Noby Williams, Deputy editor of Sportico. Evan, let 408 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 3: me start with you if I could. It's great to 409 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 3: talk to you once again. I'd love for you to 410 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 3: put this in context, Christina. Interesting the kind of historical 411 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 3: import of this just a moment ago. 412 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 8: This was a team that had an okay regular season. 413 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 3: We heard the players last night at that trophy presentation 414 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 3: talking about how they were seated going into these playoffs. 415 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 3: This wasn't something that was kind of preordained going into them. 416 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 8: Wasn't It was definitely not preordained. 417 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 11: I'm proud to say that I did stay up last night. 418 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 5: Yeah. 419 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,479 Speaker 11: Not many things that have made me regret leaving New 420 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 11: York City more than last night for sure. Just looking 421 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 11: at the celebrations out there, Yeah, I think you see 422 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 11: it in the way that people reacted that this was 423 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 11: not a team that I think many expected to be 424 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 11: good this quickly. And look at the Yankees have won 425 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 11: championships more recently, obviously, so have the Rangers. So have 426 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 11: a lot of teams in New York, but basically none 427 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 11: of them have had the kind of city wide impact 428 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 11: that this Nicks run has had so I think in 429 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 11: some ways you're getting a sense that New York is 430 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 11: a basketball town at its heart. And I think you're 431 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 11: also getting a sense that the fifty three years for 432 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 11: one of the most valuable basketball teams in the world, 433 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 11: world one of the most valuable sports brands in the world, 434 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 11: is a really long drought for fans to have to 435 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 11: wait between championships. 436 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 4: And I want to play off of that, Vanessa. I 437 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 4: want to go to you and talk about just the 438 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 4: comeback story. I mean, this is New York, New Yorkers 439 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 4: come back, We get knocked down, we come back up again. 440 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 4: Is that kind of the reason why this resonated so 441 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 4: much too with people in New York. 442 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 12: I think it's definitely one of the reasons that everyone 443 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 12: in New York kind of got behind this team in 444 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 12: such a big, big way. I think when you look 445 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 12: at the wins, when you look at the come behind victories, 446 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 12: I think it's one of the reasons why actually a 447 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 12: lot of people outside of New York, you know, became 448 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 12: on the Knick side throughout this tournament and throughout the finals, 449 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 12: throughout the playoffs because of the way that they were 450 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 12: able to grind out these wins. 451 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 5: I think it was a perfect representation of New York. 452 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 12: And I think that everyone in New York, you know, 453 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 12: was able to get behind the team. I think, like 454 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 12: Evan was saying, we've seen other championships recently, but the 455 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,719 Speaker 12: thing with the Knicks is a lot of people in 456 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 12: this city this is their team. We really have one team, 457 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 12: one basketball team. The Nets are obviously in Brooklyn, but 458 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 12: they're sort of new So I think that this for 459 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 12: the city of New York was everyone was behind this 460 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 12: one team and they really really truly represented the city 461 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 12: in a way we haven't really seen in a long time. 462 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 2: It's been it's been really interesting to walk around, you know, 463 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 2: I'm new to the city and just to see people 464 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 2: no matter where you go, this is what they've been 465 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 2: talking about it and just across socioeconomic levels, cultures, language barriers, 466 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 2: people like understand go Nicks, It's been awesome. 467 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 8: You bought a jersey for your dog. 468 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 5: I did buy a jersey dog. 469 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 470 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm fully bandwagoning, but it was cute. Everyone I 471 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 5: wanted right like I wanted to. I should have brought 472 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 5: them on set anyway, all right, Evan, I do want. 473 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 2: To ask you I went to school in Texas. My 474 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 2: roommate was a huge Spurs fan. I imagine they are not 475 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 2: feeling great today. It kind of seemed a bit of 476 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 2: a FATA company after going down three to one, did 477 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:55,959 Speaker 2: they have a chance to come back? And then you 478 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 2: saw Victim Wmanyanna talking about this was a I think 479 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 2: that is the biggest learning moment of his life. He's 480 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 2: only twenty two. What's next for him? 481 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean I think in some ways this is 482 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,239 Speaker 11: a little ahead of schedule for the Spurs. They had 483 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 11: one of the youngest teams in the NBA and they 484 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 11: beat the thunder who a lot of people thought were 485 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 11: going to kind of cruise their way to the NBA title. 486 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 11: This was a dream matchup for the NBA to get 487 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 11: the Knicks on one side a fifty three year title 488 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 11: drought in the biggest city in the country, and then 489 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 11: on the other side, get to showcase a young twenty 490 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 11: two year old superstar who is going to be the 491 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 11: face of this league, one of the faces of this 492 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 11: league for the next decade plus. I think both of 493 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 11: those things work out well. I think if you're the Spurs, 494 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 11: you learn a lot from this. It was clear that 495 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 11: some of these players were early in their career. Even 496 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 11: if you're not a basketball fan, I think you saw 497 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 11: that towards the end of these games in this past week. 498 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 11: But I think if you're a head of schedule for 499 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 11: the Spurs, you still have one of the most dominant 500 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,479 Speaker 11: and freakish athletes maybe the NBA has ever seen, and 501 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 11: getting these reps when he's twenty two probably makes him 502 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 11: better when he's twenty four twenty five. 503 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 5: You forget so these players are. 504 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 2: Sorry, I mean see as you forget how young these 505 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 2: players are because we've seen them for years and they 506 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 2: just read so much older, especially when they're in these 507 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 2: press conferences. 508 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 5: But like twenty two, come. 509 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 13: On, and he's now Victor. 510 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 11: We've been hearing about for for it feels like for 511 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 11: a decade, almost right, because he's been a prospect for 512 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 11: so long. 513 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 8: But yeah, it does. It does highlight how. 514 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 11: Much more basketball we're going to see him play over 515 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 11: the next ten to fifteen years. 516 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 3: Vanessa, let me come back to you mentioned the Nets. 517 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 3: I live close to the Barkley Center. This is kind 518 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 3: of like the sad side story here. The fact that 519 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 3: this win I think has coalesced a lot of New 520 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 3: York around the Knicks, and I sort of wonder where 521 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 3: it leaves the Nets, who have been I don't want 522 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 3: to say suffering, but really having a bad run of 523 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 3: it here in recent seasons. 524 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 12: You know, the thing about the Nets is, like, like 525 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,199 Speaker 12: I mentioned, they're decently new to New York City. You know, 526 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 12: they came within you know, the last fourteen years. They're 527 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 12: not new to the NBA. They came with a lot 528 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 12: of you know, history in New Jersey. But the thing 529 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 12: is they kind of left that history behind actually in 530 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 12: the way that they marketed team, So they don't have 531 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 12: as many natural New York fans as they would probably like, 532 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 12: and they have had a hard recent years when they 533 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 12: did have you know, these generational players Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, 534 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 12: James Harden they had a few years ago and it 535 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 12: didn't pan out for them really at all. What truly 536 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 12: probably one of the worst outcomes you could probably have 537 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 12: with players like that. You know, they're behind and I 538 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 12: don't know if it really is a story. You don't 539 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 12: need to compare them necessarily. They are obviously in the 540 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 12: same city, so people will do. But this is really 541 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 12: about the Knicks victory. I think that the Nets they 542 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 12: will prevail. But I think the good thing for the 543 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 12: Nets owners Joe and Clara Ussai, is that they had 544 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 12: a winner in the New York Liberty that long ago. 545 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 4: Evan, I want to go to you about the future 546 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 4: of the team. I mean, Jalen Brunson, MVP, a great 547 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 4: leader for the team. So many of them together like 548 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 4: a big family. You heard James Dolan talking about them, 549 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 4: you know, saying we're going to bring another championship backs 550 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 4: not going to be the last one. You won't have 551 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 4: to wait that long. What does the future of the 552 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 4: team look like. 553 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 5: I know trades are part. 554 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: Of the game. 555 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean I think that if you keep this 556 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 11: core together, I think the future is probably very bright. 557 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 11: As we said at the beginning of the show, this 558 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 11: was not a roster that at the beginning of the playoffs, 559 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 11: everyone said, oh this is a this is going to 560 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 11: be a championship roster. So I think you have the 561 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 11: ability to bring pieces in. It's New York, it's Madison 562 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 11: Square Garden. All of the kind of aura around this 563 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 11: team will make it easier to bring other players in. Personally, 564 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 11: I'm more interested in the ownership future of the team. 565 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 11: There's a lot of changes underway at Madison Square Garden Sports. 566 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 11: As you guys know, there's a potential split between the 567 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 11: Rangers and the Knicks. There is increasing chatter that the 568 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 11: Dolan family may end up selling one of those two teams. 569 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 11: That that has been rumored on and off, I feel 570 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 11: like for the past twenty years. But yeah, as sports 571 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 11: team valuations, the Lakers just sold for ten billion dollars. 572 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 11: The Knicks following this championship would probably sell for quite 573 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 11: a bit more. And even with the recent stock surge, 574 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 11: the public markets don't value the Nicks in the same 575 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 11: way that I think a private transaction would. So I'm 576 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 11: very curious to see if this championship does anything to 577 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 11: change the trajectory and honestly, what that trajectory is for 578 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 11: what Jim Dolan is thinking about in the medium or 579 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 11: longer term for the ownership of the Knicks. 580 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,479 Speaker 3: I mean, let me pick up on that. I think 581 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 3: that's so fascinating. So Jim Dolan presiding over a lot 582 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 3: of different companies. Here, there's Madison Square gardt Entertainment and sports, 583 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 3: and then there's this sphere which I think has been 584 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 3: attracting a lot of his time and attention and I 585 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 3: should say, has done very well this year as well. 586 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 3: So he's presiding over a live different enterprises that have 587 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 3: had a real run here. What is the calculus that 588 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 3: he's going through here? I can imagine him standing on 589 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 3: that stage, bathing in the adulation of all of these 590 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 3: New York fans. That's kind of novel for him. It's 591 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 3: not what he experienced at the beginning of his tenures 592 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 3: that are owning the team. Perhaps that might compel him, 593 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 3: might think to kind of stick with the next going forward. 594 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 8: What's he going to be thinking through here in the 595 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 8: month's d Yeah. 596 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 11: I think one of the things this split does is 597 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 11: it makes it easier to bring on kind of a 598 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 11: big chunk of outside capital for either of these teams. 599 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 11: And as you guys know, that has basically been one 600 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 11: of the biggest business stories in American sports in the 601 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 11: last five years, is that all these leagues have changed 602 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 11: their rules. You can now bring on institutional capital that 603 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 11: can own, depending on the league, something between thirty and 604 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 11: ten percent or zero percent of your team. And what 605 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 11: we've seen in a few other times is that there's 606 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 11: you start down that road and you start looking at valuation, 607 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,400 Speaker 11: and you start talking to people, owners' institutions, and then 608 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 11: you think, you know what, like, what would it look 609 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 11: like if we saw this whole thing? And then suddenly 610 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,360 Speaker 11: a small transaction turns into a much bigger one. So 611 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 11: I think, on its face, I think he's trying to 612 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 11: keep his options open. But again, as these team valuations soar, 613 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 11: it doesn't seem impossible to me to think that at 614 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 11: some point and maybe at some point soon decides to 615 00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 11: sell one of these teams. I have no clue which 616 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 11: one that would be. I think you could make an 617 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 11: argument for one or the other. The Knicks are certainly 618 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 11: more valuable than the Rangers. I think some people might 619 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 11: say the Rangers are more undervalued than the Knicks are 620 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 11: in terms of the markets. But the constant kind of 621 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 11: changing around of what MSG and its sister companies and 622 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 11: parent companies, the constant stock splits, et cetera, I think 623 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 11: have gotten us to a point now where ten years 624 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 11: ago it would have been very hard to sell the Knicks. 625 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 11: And once this stock split, if it does happen and 626 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 11: the Knicks basically become a separate, publicly traded company, it 627 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 11: becomes way easier to sell the Knicks. 628 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 2: And that's not lost on me, Vanessa before we let 629 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 2: you go ticker tape parade. 630 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 5: We're doing our own version of here like I. 631 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 8: Got for the ticker tape raide. 632 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 5: This this is not my best skill. I'm not sure 633 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 5: where my best skill is, but this is not it. 634 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 8: Time to practice a few days. 635 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 2: I've never attended a ticker tape parade. I don't know 636 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 2: if you have. What should folks expect? And how big 637 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 2: is this city going to throw a ranger around Thursday. 638 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,239 Speaker 12: The last ticker tape raid I I've been to was 639 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 12: the one for the New York Liberty in twenty twenty four. 640 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 12: Listen this, the city showed out. Then people come out. 641 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 12: You know, they've come out of work, they get out 642 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 12: of school. And this I mean the city hasn't seen 643 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 12: a championship in fifty three years. For the Knicks, they 644 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 12: haven't seen a men's sports team championship since twenty twelve. 645 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 12: The city is going to be on fire. I would 646 00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 12: expect record breaking numbers for this break. 647 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 5: I will not be asleep. 648 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 8: You will not be there, definitely be you will be there. 649 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 2: No, I will I will matter like in the daytime, Yeah, 650 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 2: during the week, get up. 651 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 5: At crap, all right?

And I write 829 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 15: abo about Brunhilda because I think that there's this perception 830 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 15: of livestalk as these commodities that are these kind of ois, 831 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 15: and in fact, when you get to know them, they're individuals. 832 00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:01,360 Speaker 15: And Brunhilda, you know, Brunhilda had a stronger personality than 833 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 15: almost anybody, any people I can think of. And she 834 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 15: was ornery. She was not a lovable pig, but she 835 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 15: was so strong willed. She was a devoted mom. She 836 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 15: kept wandering off in pursuit of creaks, and I'd have 837 00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 15: to go chase after her and we would. 838 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,320 Speaker 7: You know, she was very valish. 839 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 15: She's always talking and squealing and I'd be yelling at 840 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 15: her and she'd be yelling back at me. 841 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 7: But you know, what a personality. 842 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,280 Speaker 2: But the debate here is about these these birthing crates 843 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 2: that basically keep pigs in a pen to what where 844 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,319 Speaker 2: they can't get up and turn around while while they 845 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 2: have babies that are caring for them. And it's interesting 846 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 2: this has been a debate for decades. I remember when 847 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 2: I was studying abroad in England in two thousand and five, 848 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 2: believe it or not, I watched a play on this 849 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 2: issue because the EU regulations were coming in and British 850 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 2: pig farmers were upset about this. Then there's been a 851 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 2: lot of efforts to try to stop this process. Talk 852 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:57,919 Speaker 2: to us about what these crates are, what they mean 853 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 2: for just you know, people call them torture, is what 854 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 2: they're like. And the legislation that has been put in 855 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 2: place in the US here to try to stop their use. 856 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 7: So there are two kind of crazy. 857 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 15: So one is for actual birthing and when the piglets 858 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 15: are very young, and there's a little more of an 859 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 15: argument for that to prevent the sow from squashing her pigs. 860 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 15: But I think there's really no argument whatsoever for what 861 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,040 Speaker 15: are called gestation crates, which are used when the sow 862 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,560 Speaker 15: when the female pig is pregnant. And these are these 863 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 15: tiny little crates where as you say, she can't even 864 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 15: turn around, you know, never sees the sun, never sets 865 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,920 Speaker 15: foot on the ground. This, you know, imagine your golden 866 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,720 Speaker 15: retriever in a context like that. And when voters are asked, 867 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 15: they think this is a terrible idea, and voters in 868 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:51,240 Speaker 15: both Massachusetts and in California by huge majorities, passed ballot 869 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 15: measures that would ban the sale of pork that was 870 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 15: raised in this way. And so that sets up the 871 00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 15: confrontation that we're now talking about. 872 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 2: This is this lingering issue you have pulling us. There's 873 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 2: eighty four percent of Americans consider this process unacceptable. Legislation 874 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 2: starts to get passed, and then, as you write, the 875 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:13,919 Speaker 2: pork industry squealed and enter the Save our Bacon Bill. 876 00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 2: So what does the Save our Bacon Bill do and 877 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 2: who is backing it? 878 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 15: So the Save our Bacon Bill would essentially overturn these 879 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 15: laws in Massachusetts and in California, and you know, there are, 880 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 15: no doubt will be other laws similar to that pasting 881 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 15: other states. So it would ban a state from barring 882 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 15: the sale of pork raised in other states by these. 883 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 7: You know, using gestation rates. 884 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 15: And the pork industry argues that one state doesn't have 885 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 15: the right to tell other states how to raise their pigs. 886 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 15: It also says that this would make pork more expensive, 887 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 15: which actually I think is true. I mean, the way 888 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,560 Speaker 15: raise right now it really is incredibly efficient. Pork industry 889 00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 15: has done an amazing job holding down pork prices, but 890 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,319 Speaker 15: at a real cost for pigs. 891 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 7: And for humans. And so this has come down. 892 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,240 Speaker 15: Partly because voters really don't like the idea of pigs 893 00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 15: and gestation rates. So the pork industry and its supporters 894 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 15: sneaked the Savior of Bacon Act into the Agriculture Bill 895 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 15: this year, which is a kind of must pass legislation, 896 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,799 Speaker 15: and it passed the House that way. So it's in 897 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 15: the House version of the Agriculture Bill and now going 898 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 15: to the Senate, and there's now a big fight in 899 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 15: the Senate about whether to include that Savor of Bacon 900 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,920 Speaker 15: Act in the Senate agg Bill or then ultimately in 901 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 15: the Conference committee that will decide what happens. 902 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 2: But there's another issue here, and that is that Smithfield 903 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,279 Speaker 2: Farms is owned by a Chinese corporation now, and this 904 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 2: is one of the big groups trying to push this 905 00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 2: bill through Congress. 906 00:40:58,520 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 5: What is the concern here? 907 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,920 Speaker 2: What was the bigger story about foreign influence through corporations 908 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 2: impacting legislation in Congress? 909 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,720 Speaker 15: So I think this point has particularly resonated with conservatives, 910 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,799 Speaker 15: and it's been striking Christina that this is an issue 911 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 15: where liberals and conservatives have really come together, both on 912 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 15: the humanity of dealing with Pigs's way, but also on 913 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 15: some of these larger structural issues like this one. And 914 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 15: I think the basic feeling is, why should we be 915 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:32,479 Speaker 15: privileging a major Chinese company that started as a state 916 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 15: owned company and still has somewhat unclear murky ties to 917 00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:43,799 Speaker 15: the Chinese state. Why should we privilege that enormous behemoth 918 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 15: over the voters in the US in terms of constrictions. 919 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 15: And it was also a big debate when this Chinese 920 00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 15: company then acquired Smithfield some years ago. 921 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 7: But I think now it just comes down to, you. 922 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 15: Know, why I privilege this Chinese company over the voters 923 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:03,840 Speaker 15: in the US. 924 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 2: Is there a concern that if this Save our Bacon 925 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 2: Act passes, that you could see more of these foreign 926 00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 2: owned conglomerates trying to do something similar? 927 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 7: So, I mean, I think that foreign companies. 928 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,760 Speaker 5: Are that already happening. I guess that's already happening. 929 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, everybody is always lobbying for advantage, and 930 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,440 Speaker 15: that goes for foreign companies and for American companies. But 931 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 15: I do think that this is a particularly clear confrontation 932 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 15: between the will of voters and the profits for a 933 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:42,360 Speaker 15: major overseas company, especially one that has ties to the 934 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,280 Speaker 15: Chinese state. That seems that's pretty unusual. 935 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us on today's Bloomberg This Weekend podcast. 936 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 2: Don't forget to tune in live for the show every 937 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,240 Speaker 2: Saturday and Sunday morning, starting at seven am Eastern. 938 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,319 Speaker 3: We're on Bloomberg Television Radio and the Bloomberg Business app, 939 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 3: bringing you you nique takes and in depth interviews on news, politics, 940 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:04,240 Speaker 3: lifestyle and culture.
