WEBVTT - Single Best Idea with Tom Keene: Brian Wieser & Nancy Lazar

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Single best idea is to look at equities, bonds, currencies, commodities,

0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:21.520
<v Speaker 2>and anybody informed less informed can look at the Bloomberg

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 2>terminal screen and go there's a lot of blinking going on,

0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 2>and there's something going on. And it can be correlations

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 2>between equities, bonds, currencies, commodities, it can be actual changes.

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Or you can just look at the price of a

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 2>new bracelet at Tiffany and go ooh. Gold's up and

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.080
<v Speaker 2>up is barely describing it. It's surging. There's something out

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:46.479
<v Speaker 2>there in the last forty eight hours, the cacophony of opinion,

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:51.640
<v Speaker 2>the cacophony of study of new things like bitcoin down

0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 2>two thousand in the morning or gold up two hundred

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.720
<v Speaker 2>dollars and all the foreign exchange in that Audrey Child

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 2>Freeman really helping there is well, it's just you know,

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:06.399
<v Speaker 2>it's nuts out there. Providing cover today was Brian Weezer.

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:10.399
<v Speaker 2>He is legendary on Wall Street for looking at the

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:14.960
<v Speaker 2>ad business and studying TV. He's with Madison and Wall

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Let's listen to Brian Weezer on the moment at hand.

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 3>It's evolving. Here's the thing I argue this is a

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 3>contrary view for all of AI. There's a lot of

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 3>fears that AI is going to replace a lot of people.

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 3>I argue it's going to cause the need for more

0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 3>people because that's more complexity, and the complexity is what

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 3>requires people to manage the processes. We already saw this

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 3>in ad tech at Technique, the automation of those core

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.679
<v Speaker 3>media buying. It was meant to automate the whole industry. No,

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 3>it caused the need for more people, and you're going

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.119
<v Speaker 3>to see that in the creative size the agencies.

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 2>I can't emphasize enough how important that comment is, whether

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 2>you agree or disagree with it, or even are removed

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 2>from advertising and media and all that. We don't have

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 2>a clue what AI is going to do, and there's

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 2>somebody who's saying it's going to be a job formation machine.

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 2>We will see. One of my conversations of the year

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 2>last year was Nancy Lazar at Piper. She was just

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 2>fabulous about the need to employ America outside of healthcare,

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 2>outside of government. Nancy Lazar again, like Brian on AI.

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>This moment, I think they've come to reality that the

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.360
<v Speaker 1>US economy is actually okay. The unaployment rate seems to

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 1>have peaked on the plumbent claims are down. Support for

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the FED has actually gone up. Spurts not the right word,

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>but I think my confidence of the FAT has actually

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 1>line up that they are seeing. This is what we

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>think is a reacceleration the economy, supported by their own efforts.

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Rates are down one hundred and seventy five basis points

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.519
<v Speaker 1>nominal GDP minimums five, maybe it's even six seven percent.

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Rates are plenty low. You're getting green shoots. Small businesses

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 1>are benefiting, although it's going to and I think we're

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.960
<v Speaker 1>moving away from a bifurcated economy to something that's healthier.

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Went on with a piercing discussion of AI in her

0:02:56.160 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 2>constructive feel about the multiplier effect of artificial intelligence. It

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 2>has been a spirited forty eight hours on podcasts. We're

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 2>on an Apple, we're out on Spotify and of course

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 2>on YouTube podcasts. It's single best idea
