00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News.

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: Good morning, I maybe Morris and I'm Karen Moscow. Here

3
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 3: We begin with the tragedy near Baltimore. It is no

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 3: longer a search and rescue operation. It is now search

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 3: and recover after yesterday's collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 3: A road crew was working on the bridge at the

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 3: time of the collapse. Now two of them have been rescued,

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 3: six remain unaccounted for. The area remains blocked off to traffic,

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 3: which means a major artery around the city of Baltimore

11
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 3: is also blocked off. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott is asking

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 3: for people to be patient.

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 4: They're going to be detours.

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: This is going to be a long road. But when

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: we think.

16
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 5: About the realities of what those families are going through

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 5: versus us have it this spend a little bit more

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 5: time in traffic we can't even compare.

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says the search is the priority,

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: but he also recognizes the economic ripple effect this will

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,279
Speaker 3: have on his city.

22
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: Well Lamy, the business that contracted the road work as

23
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 2: Broner Builder's company attorney Jeffrey Pritzker explains it's possible the

24
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: crew never heard any warnings.

25
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 6: Where they were working on the bridge was right in

26
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 6: the center span of the bridge, so it's quite possible

27
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 6: that they heard nothing and had no idea what happened

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 6: until it happened.

29
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: Attorney Jeffrey Pritzker. Maryland Governor Wes Moore says the loss

30
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: of the bridge and the loss of life is heartbreaking.

31
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 7: When I first got the phone call in the middle

32
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 7: of the night saying the Key bridge is gone one,

33
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 7: it takes your breath away and then immediately start thinking about.

34
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 2: These families and Governor Moore says the work will continue

35
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 2: to find those who are still missing. The next phase

36
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: of the recovery process begins this morning.

37
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 3: The one point six mile long bridge collapsed in just

38
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: a matter of seconds. The catastrophic consequences are set to

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 3: stretch out for weeks. President Biden says the government needs

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: to step up.

41
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 8: That's my intention that federal governor will pay for the

42
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 8: entire cost to reconstructing that bridge.

43
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 9: I expect the Congress to support my effort.

44
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 3: Facing months of uncertainty, Baltimore and Maryland both have declared

45
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 3: a state of emergency.

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, the aftermath of the bridges collapse throws

47
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: another spotlight on the fragile nature of global supply chains.

48
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: Brendan Murray leads to our global trade coverage for Bloomberg.

49
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 7: The Port of Baltimore has closed indefinitely. They're they're going

50
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 7: to have, you know, weeks or months of salvage operations

51
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 7: to clean up the site. All that cargo is going

52
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 7: to have to go somewhere else, places like Norfolk, Virginia, Charleston,

53
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 7: South Carolina, Savannah, Georgia. The big ships will have to

54
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 7: go to New York and New Jersey. So there's going

55
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 7: to be a period where supply chains have these wrinkles

56
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 7: that need to be ironed out. It's going to be

57
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 7: it's going to mean delays for people and businesses for

58
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 7: their for their parts and their products, and it's going

59
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 7: to possibly mean some some higher costs in the short.

60
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: Term bloom Brendon Murray says about thirty five thousand people

61
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: use the bridge every day. The American Trucking Association says

62
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: the annual value of goods going over is about twenty

63
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: eight billion dollars, And.

64
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 3: Of course we will continue to follow the latest developments

65
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 3: on the bridge collapse right here on Bloomberg Radio. Now,

66
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: let's turn to political news. Robert F. Kennedy Junior has

67
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 3: picked Nicole Shanahan to be his vice presidential pick and

68
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: his independent White House bid that's trying to appeal to

69
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 3: voters disaffected by a rematch of the twenty twenty election.

70
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: The thirty eight year old Shanahan is a California lawyer

71
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: and a philanthropist who has never held elected office.

72
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Amy, the Republican presidential candidate, is also making headlines.

73
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 2: Donald Trump will need to be careful with this rhetoric

74
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: during his trial concerning alleged payments to Stormy Daniels and

75
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Nancy Lyons reports.

76
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: Now that in April fifteenth, start date has been set

77
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump's trial on alleged hush money payments. The

78
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: judges out with some ground roles for the former president.

79
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: Judge wanmer Shan has issued a gag order banning Trump

80
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: for making statements about witnesses, lawyers, or jurors involved in

81
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: the trial. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Braggs sought the order

82
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: because of Trump's quote longstanding history of verbal attacks. The

83
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: trial marks the first criminal prosecution of a former American

84
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: president in Washington. I'm Nancy Lyons Bloomberg Radio.

85
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,560

86
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,719

Speaker 3: first trading day as a public company, and surged as

89
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: much as fifty nine percent at one point. The most

90
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: high profile blank check deal in years added billions to

91
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: Trump's fortune, at least on paper. Shares are up ten

92
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 3: percent in early trading this morning.

93
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: Well in the currency market, amy the yen has touched

00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 2: Japan has stepped closer to currency intervention with its strongest

96
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 2: warning yet. The country's finance minister ramped up his hints

97
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 2: a possible action. Looking at the yen right now, it's

98
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: little changed against the dollar in the end, at one

99
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: fifty one point four to nine.

100
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: In geopolitical news, Chinese President Xi Jinping has met with

101
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: US business executives hoping to restore confidence in Beijing. Bloomberg

00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 3: Daybreak Asia anchor Brian Curtis as more from Hong.

104
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 10: and academic communities. China's hoping to shore up confidence submit

105
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 10: a slow down in foreign investment. Investment fell to a

106
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 10: thirty year low last year. Tensions with the US have

107
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 10: risen in recent weeks. China said it filed a complaint

108
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 10: to the WTO over US EV subsidies, and the US

109
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 10: and UK accused Chinese hackers of targeting politicians and companies.

110
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 10: China is now ramping up outreach to foreign investors, hoping

111
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 10: to kick start the slumping economy in Hong Kong. Brian

112
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 10: Curtis Bloomberg.

113
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: Radio, Hi, Brian, thank you now to a discussion on

114
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 2: the broader economy with black Rock CEO Larry Fink. Fink

115
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: talked about his annual letter yesterday with Bloomberg's David Weston,

116
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: warning that the US is facing a looming retirement crisis

117
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: and says a high level effort is needed to address it.

118
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: Fink added that America's unsustainable debt servicing bill could lead

119
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 2: to a period of stagnation.

120
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 6: The cost of financing our deficits are going to erode

121
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 6: more and more of our disposable income. As a country,

122
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 6: and I do believe there we're getting to a point

123
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 6: where our public debt is going to start up, crowding

124
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 6: out private capital, and we're going to have structurally higher

125
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 6: interest rates.

126
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: Black Rock CEO Larry Fink added he's frightened by the

127
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: US public debt situation, but says a US debt crisis

128
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: is not inevitable. And you can catch our entire conversation

129
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: with Larry Fink on the Bloomberg Talks podcast, available on Apple, Spotify,

130
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: or anywhere you get your podcasts. And it's time now

131
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: for a look at some of the other stories making

132
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: news in New York and around the world. And for

133
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: that we'rejoined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr. Michael, good Morning, Good.

134
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 4: Morning, Karen is really. Prime Minister Benjamin at Yahoo's says

135
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 4: his government will not accept Tamas's delusional conditions for a

136
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 4: ceasefire in Gaza. The militant group has rejected the latest

137
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 4: truce proposal because it wants an end to the war

138
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 4: and Israel's full withdrawal from the Gaza strip. Natanyahu also

139
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: rebuked a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire

140
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 4: in Gaza. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller pushed back on

141
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 4: claims that amasa's most recent rejection of a ceasefire framework

142
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 4: agreement resulted from the US abstention vote in the UN.

143
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 2: That response was prepared before the UN Security Council vote,

144
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: not after it.

145
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 4: Yesterday, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin welcomed Israeli Defense Minister Joav

146
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: Gallant to the Pentagon, where the two talked about US

147
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 4: Israeli security cooperations and the ongoing efforts to bring humanitarian

148
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: aid into Gaza. A vigil will be held tonight at

149
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: Massapequa Park in the hometown for the NYPD officer who

150
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: was shot and killed this week. Officer Jonathan Dillar, who

151
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 4: was thirty one, was fatally shot during a traffic stop

152
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 4: in Queens. Diller, who was with the force for three years,

153
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,559
Speaker 4: had a wife and a toddler's son. Diller and another

154
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 4: officer approached a car that was parked illegally at a

155
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 4: bus stop. Authority say one of the two men who

156
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 4: were in the car, thirty four year old Guy Rivera,

157
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 4: pulled out a gun and shot Diller in the torso.

158
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 4: Official say Diller's partner then fired and shot Rivera in

159
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 4: the back. New York Mayor Eric Adams says the city

160
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 4: has a recidivism problem.

161
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 8: These two individuals, one of the men had been arrested

162
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 8: on a gun charge in April twenty twenty three. To

163
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 8: the driver, he has more than twenty prize, the other

164
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 8: as an equal amount of prize.

165
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 4: Mayor Adams also says the city has to deal with

166
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 4: mental health issues and random acts of violence. Today, New

167
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 4: YORK'SA holds its final vote on acting what would be

168
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 4: the US's first large scale congestion pricing system. The plan

169
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 4: would charge most drivers a fee of at least fifteen

170
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 4: dollars to drive south of sixtieth Street in Manhattan. The

171
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 4: program is set to begin in June, but that could

172
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 4: change depending on the outcome of lawsuits in New York

173
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 4: and New Jersey. Supporters say you will reduce carbon emissions,

174
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 4: speed up bus service and emergency response times, and raise

175
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 4: funds for public transportation. Former NYC Traffic Commissioner Sam Schwartz

176
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 4: is in favor of the plan.

177
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 9: I know a number of cities are keeping their eye

178
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 9: on New York. If you can get through all the

179
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 9: log jams, all the bureaucracy, all the politics of New York, city.

180
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 9: And you can get this done in New York, you

181
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 9: could do it elsewhere.

182
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 4: Critics say there should be a commitment to improve mass

183
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,120

191
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,040

192
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 5: teams separated by just three points, and the team that

193
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 5: right now is a top the league, the Rangers. They

194
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 5: hosted the Flyers scoreless first period. Philly led two to

195
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 5: one after two, and then seven goals were scored in

196
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 5: the third. Rangers had three different leads. The game went

197
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 5: to overtime.

198
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: Fox tangles the blue line, leaves it.

199
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 7: Back for tro check back to Fox, Fox rips a

200
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 7: shot up score.

201
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,480

203
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: They clitch a playoff berth for the third.

204
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 5: Consecutive Yearny ESPN Fox, scoring thirty six seconds into ot

205
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 5: Deable's trying to make the playoffs. They won in Toronto's

Speaker 5: sixty three, took over first place in their division four

207

Speaker 5: to three win at Florida double overtime. In the NBA,

208
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 5: the Lakers, playing without Lebron James, came from nineteen down

209
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 5: and one in Milwaukee for Anthony Davis thirty four points

210
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,240

214

215
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 5: Georgia won by two at Ohio State. Seaton Hall has

216
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 5: its NIT quarterfinal game tonight at home against UNLV. Major

217
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 5: rule changes to kickoffs in the NFL all look very different.

218
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 5: The kicker will now stand in his own thirty five

219
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 5: yard line. His ten teammates will be twenty five yards ahead.

220
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 5: At least seven of the receiving players will be just

221
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 5: five yards from them. It's an effort to make the

222
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 5: kickoff again be part of the sport. Most of them

223
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 5: had not been returned. Baseball starts tomorrow, and free agent

224
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 5: pitcher Jordan Montgomery has finally found a job. He signed

225

229
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: And returning to our top story this morning, the key

230
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 3: bridge in Baltimore, struck by a cargo ship, collapsed in

231
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 3: just seconds yesterday. The consequences, though, will likely stretch out

232
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 3: four weeks. We are joined now by Bloomberg's trade expert

233
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 3: Brendan Murray. Brendan, thanks for taking the time with us.

234
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 3: What is the latest now?

235
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 5: Sure?

236
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 7: So tragically, the officials locally have said that they're calling

237
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 7: off the search and rescue for the six missing workers

238
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 7: who are on the bridge filling potholes when the ship

239
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 7: struck the bridge. So they're recovery, they're looking for they're

240
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 7: recovering the victims at this stage. So a rather somber

241
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 7: day starting here on Wednesday. In the meantime, all this

242
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 7: cargo that was supposed to come in and out of

243
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 7: Baltimore has to go somewhere else. So we're seeing ships

244
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 7: diverting to ports in Virginia and North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,

245
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 7: and New York. So all that cargo is going to

246
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 7: be slower to get where it's going, and it will

247
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 7: need truck or a train to pick it up in

248
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 7: another location that it wasn't expecting. So expect a bit

249
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 7: of a tangled mess in the weeks ahead.

250
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: Let's get into that a little bit and talk about

251
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 3: some of those ports you mentioned, South Carolina, Virginia, New

252
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 3: Jersey and other ports. Are they going to be able

253
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 3: to handle all of the extra traffic that they're about

254
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 3: to get?

255
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 7: From what they tell us, they're not running at full

256
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 7: capacity right now. The US economy is fairly solid, but

257
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 7: it's not gangbusters, so some of them tell us they're

258
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 7: running it about seventy or eighty percent capacity. So yeah,

259
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 7: they can handle this extra this extra cargo flowing in

260
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 7: their direction, but it'll take They can't do it immediately,

261
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 7: so it could we could see ships sitting outside these

262
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 7: ports for a few days perhaps, and we'll see how

263
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 7: they're able to orbit. The big issue is Baltimore is

264
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 7: a big car port for imports and exports, and not

265
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 7: every not every trade gateway along the Eastern Seaboard can

266
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 7: handle cars. So we'll have to wait and see how

267
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 7: the how the auto companies deal with these the disruptions

268
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 7: to their supply chains.

269
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 3: Right, they handle cars, construction equipment, farm equipment, and I

270
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 3: wonder if that's where we might see the most impact,

271
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 3: because it seems like there would be more isolated industries

272
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 3: as opposed to industries as a whole.

273
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not a lot of sort of consumer facing

274
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 7: goods that flow through Baltimore. It's things that are kind

275
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 7: of in the you know, go to the industrial heartland.

276
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 7: Construction equipment, farm equipment, you know, and those kinds of things.

277
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 7: You know, the spring construction season kind of heats up

278
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 7: in a month or two, you know, will there be

279
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 7: enough equipment, Will some of that equipment and the materials

280
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 7: needed for home building and office construction be you know,

281
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 7: be as readily available as it might might have been.

282
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 7: Farmers are going to start, you know, planting crops in

283
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 7: a few months. Are they going to have you know,

284
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 7: the equipment that they need the new tractor or combine?

285
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 7: You know that that would normally flow through Baltimore. So

286
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 7: some we're not expecting a widespread economic headwind from this,

287
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 7: but it could create some isolated headaches.

288
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 3: And briefly, Brendan, it wasn't long ago we experienced the

289
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 3: firsthand the fragile nature of the global supply chains, very

290
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 3: briefly thirty seconds. How is this going to factor into that?

291
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 7: Well, we're going to get another test of the resilience

292
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 7: of supply chains along the East Coast. Basically, it will

293
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 7: it will mean trucks. You know, there's going to be

294
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 7: a lot of traffic around Baltimore for the foreseeable future.

295
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 7: That highway, that beltway around Baltimore is now gone, so

296
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 7: all that traffic is going to have to move somewhere else.

297
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 7: So I think we're just going to have to see

298
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 7: how the companies involved in logistics and supply chains can

299
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 7: flex with this shock, and hopefully it the fallout won't

300
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 7: be too widespread or too painful.
