0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Fabian White House reporter with Bloomberg News, Nathan, I just

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 2>want to start with you, are you going to shut

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:12.600
<v Speaker 2>down our government again?

0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 3>What's going on down down there?

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.320
<v Speaker 4>So you know, I may be a little bit out

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 4>of consensus on this, we're still telling folks forty percent

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 4>chance of a shutdown unless you have this like temporary

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 4>shutdown that bleeds over to the weekend. The reason being

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.279
<v Speaker 4>is is that you know, there are so many different

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 4>ideas that being thrown around by House Republicans, by the Senate,

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 4>by Ukraine and Israel and so forth, and none of

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 4>these political cakes are baked. And you know, there's really

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 4>no strategy of why you would have a shutdown at

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 4>this point other than just we want to shut it down.

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.320
<v Speaker 4>And so we Speaker Johnson still and you know what

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 4>you would call the the infancy of his speakership. And

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:49.920
<v Speaker 4>obviously he made some statements over the weekend that he's

0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 4>seeking for more time as he does his letter at

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 4>see our idea and so forth. We're telling folks, you know,

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 4>he may be able to get that, So don't be

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 4>surprised that this goes in the December fifteenth or even

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 4>January February. But ultimately what people should know as they

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 4>approach it from the market perspective is that there really

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 4>isn't all that impact outside of just trying to just

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 4>keep your eye on it. Even the defense contractors aren't

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 4>all that exposed. I mean, we really would have to

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.480
<v Speaker 4>see a two months shutdown, if not longer, for those

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.799
<v Speaker 4>economic impacts to be leading into the market. So unfortunately

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.079
<v Speaker 4>for a lot of the folks just watching, it's one

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 4>of those political popcorn watch events again.

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, So the White House has said that Johnson's

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>plan would only lead to future shutdowns, and President Biden

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>could issue a formal veto threat today. Jordan Fabian, you

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 1>cover the White House for us. What do we expect

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>from President Biden and what's the what are their problems

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>with this plan?

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 5>I think we could see a veto threat today or

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 5>something a little short of that, which is basically an

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 5>advisor's recommendation that he not signed. It's these Washington terms

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 5>of craft. But we'll be watching closer to see what

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.919
<v Speaker 5>they say. Look, the White House is frustrated with this

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 5>dragged out process that you know, they thought should have

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 5>been resolved with the debt ceiling agreement back in the spring,

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.639
<v Speaker 5>which sets spending levels. Republicans through that out the window,

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 5>and so they're frustrated over that and the fact that

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 5>there's no Ukraine aid in this package, and the White

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 5>House is getting anxious that maybe this is the last

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 5>bite of the apple, and so they want to exert

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.239
<v Speaker 5>whatever leverage they can to try to get that included.

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 5>And thus you're seeing these statements that are highly critical

0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 5>of Speaker Johnson's approach.

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 3>But they would be.

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if if Biden veto's it shutting down the government,

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>then the Democrats get the blame for something that the

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>whole country is angry with the Republicans for right now.

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're in a great situation because the country

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>blames all of this on the other party.

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 3>Do they risk that?

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 5>That's why I think Nathan raises a good point, which

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 5>is that you know, I think you may and you

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 5>raise valid points too, which is Democrats absolutely don't want

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 5>any share of the blame for a government shutdown. So

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 5>my suspicion is if a cr were to reach the

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 5>President's desk, he would sign it and you know, kick

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 5>the can down the road for a couple of months

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 5>and try again in January to get his priorities funded.

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 5>But it's still an open question of whether this laddered

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 5>CR gets through the House. There's still this faction of

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 5>hell no fiscal hawk House Republicans who you don't want

0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 5>to take guess for an answer, and Johnson can only

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 5>afford to lose three votes.

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 3>That's not a lot.

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.039
<v Speaker 5>So we'll be watching closely. There's some test votes coming

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 5>up in the next twenty four hours to see what

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:34.720
<v Speaker 5>level of support there is for this package.

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.600
<v Speaker 2>So Nathan and I guess in the interim, what legislation

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 2>is not getting worked on, it's not getting passed.

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 3>What are we missing here?

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:44.720
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean there's a lot of stuff that are

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 4>it's more of the sector level. I mean, obviously we've

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 4>talked about pot banking before. You know, there are a

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.799
<v Speaker 4>lot of people would love to see that move forward.

0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 4>There's really no work that's being done on it. Crypto

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 4>the NDAA. You know, there's a lot of legislation out

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.040
<v Speaker 4>there that needs to get done and you know, we're

0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 4>just talking about c and so ultimately there's still going

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.840
<v Speaker 4>to be enough time to get that stuff done. But

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 4>you know, time's going to run out before we get

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 4>into this election cycle where folks are just going to

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 4>be more paying attention to their districts. I still think

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 4>that a shutdown is coming. I honestly do think that

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 4>we're going to have a multi week shutdown. I just

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.560
<v Speaker 4>think it's going to be in the beginning of next year,

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 4>because there will come a point in which Speaker Johnson

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 4>and the Democrats just will not agree and both sides

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.600
<v Speaker 4>will say, Okay, I think politically it's best for us

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 4>to just you know, have this fight out and let's

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.920
<v Speaker 4>let the chips lie. But ultimately, for the Republicans right now,

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 4>as you recall, you know, last week, they had a

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 4>very bad week in Virginia where I am in Kentucky

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 4>and Ohio and so forth like that, they don't want

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.040
<v Speaker 4>to have that happen twice in the span of two weeks.

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 4>So I think right now that all this uncertainty is

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 4>just going to get pushed into January and we'll be

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 4>talking about it then.

0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:51.679
<v Speaker 3>Jordan.

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about, you know, the the upcoming election. We're

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:59.840
<v Speaker 1>already seeing ads from the Biden administration trying to convince

0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Americans that his age isn't a problem, although many people

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 1>polled are concerned about his ability to get through another

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 1>four years. You know, what's their tactic and what do

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.479
<v Speaker 1>they say about I always wonder about Kamala Harris, because

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.559
<v Speaker 1>if you're really worried about the president's age, you should

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:21.239
<v Speaker 1>be doubly focused on the vice presidential candidate.

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 5>Right Well, the Biding campaign has a lot of money

0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 5>right now. They have about ninety one million dollars in

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 5>cash in hand, So they're spending some money now to

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 5>try and get those concerns alaied and try to lay

0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 5>the groundwork for a broader and more aggressive pitch later

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 5>next year for reelection. So they're trying to address the

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 5>age question. They're trying to address the Americans' concerns with

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 5>the cost of living. So if you look listen to

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 5>their messaging, there's ads showing Biden walking through Kiev with

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.719
<v Speaker 5>the sunglasses on and talking about these things in the

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 5>Inflation Reduction Act that we're supposed to lower prices. But look,

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 5>it's I think their best hope is not necessarily convincing

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 5>Americans that you know, Biden is this spry young man,

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 5>but that they're going to be possibly running against Donald Trump,

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 5>someone who's very unpopular and someone you know who's also

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.239
<v Speaker 5>up there in age and has shown some propensity for

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 5>gaffs and the like. So you know, it's like Biden

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:19.560
<v Speaker 5>always says, don't compare me to the almighty, compare me

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 5>to the alternative.

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Jordan, it's going to be a big week for

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 2>President Biden out in San Francisco, who'll be meeting with

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Chinese President Jijiping. What's the White House? What's a kind

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 2>of the game plan? Here's what's the goal? What would

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 2>be a success?

0:07:35.640 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 3>What are you hearing.

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.320
<v Speaker 5>They want to set a floor under this US China relationship.

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 5>I don't think you're going to see a bunch of

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 5>major deliverables coming out of this meeting, like some sort

0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 5>of agreement on Taiwan or broader economic rules of the road.

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 5>Those are the two obviously main concerns in the relationship.

0:07:52.880 --> 0:07:55.920
<v Speaker 5>But you could see things like resumption of military to

0:07:55.960 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 5>military communication, some incremental things on climate, fentanyl trafficking cutting

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.840
<v Speaker 5>out of this meeting. And I think that again, the

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 5>meaning itself is almost a deliverable for President Biden, who

0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 5>wants to reset this relationship in a way that puts

0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 5>up guardrails, make sure that tensions don't escalate out of

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 5>control like they did earlier. This year with a spibulin incident.

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 2>So perspective of just greater d C, I mean, what's

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.240
<v Speaker 2>the concern level here just about US China relations?

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 4>Well, I mean, first I want my pandas back. I mean,

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 4>obviously we lost our pandas you know, I'm joking there,

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.079
<v Speaker 4>but you know, obviously, you know, when it comes to

0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 4>the US China relations, it comes down to clarity. That's

0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:40.120
<v Speaker 4>what investors want, is they want to know what the

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 4>clarity is and what's going to happen. I mean there's

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 4>you know, all these questions with Taiwan and so forth

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.440
<v Speaker 4>like that, and so I think anytimes you get this

0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.439
<v Speaker 4>type of communication between the presidents in the premiere and

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 4>so forth like that, that you get this at least

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 4>get something that you can work with. So I don't

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.800
<v Speaker 4>think Washington in particular, and you know, Jordan can correct

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 4>me if I'm wrong. You know, I don't think Washington

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 4>in particular has any real hopes for this meeting. But

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 4>it's just something that we'd like to see so that

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.680
<v Speaker 4>we can see the communication, we can get information, we

0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.200
<v Speaker 4>can get transparency, and at least have a better idea

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 4>of what's happening down the road. Because if anytimes they're

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 4>not talking, then you just get what's happening. Nobody knows, right, all.

0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 3>Right, Nathan Hagger, Nathan Dean, thank you so much. We

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:18.439
<v Speaker 3>appreciate it.

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Nathan Dean, He's a senior policy analyst with Bloomberg Intelligence,

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 2>and Jordan Famian, a White House reporter with Bloomberg News,

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:26.319
<v Speaker 2>both of them down in DC.

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:31.319
<v Speaker 7>You're listening to the team Ken's are Live program Bloomberg

<v Speaker 7>on demand wherever you get your podcasts.

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Looking at the stock of Boeing up four percent, looks

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.600
<v Speaker 2>like they sold a bunch of aircraft to the Emirates Airlines.

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.440
<v Speaker 3>That sounds like a good deal. Let's break that down

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 3>in Everything.

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Aerospace with George Ferguson, senior aerospace, defense and airline analysts

0:09:56.400 --> 0:10:01.319
<v Speaker 2>for Bloomberg Intelligence. Former militi sorry intelligence officer in the

0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>US Army. So we think mister Ferguson for his service here. George,

0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.360
<v Speaker 2>talk us first about this Emirates deal. The number got

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.319
<v Speaker 2>my attention, like a lot of billions of dollars.

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.560
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, no, it's a big order, right, So there's about

0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 8>ninety five airplanes, nine of them Triple sevens. But that

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.920
<v Speaker 8>triple seven, yeah, they already had the largest order.

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.199
<v Speaker 6>In the book for that airplane.

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.080
<v Speaker 8>Emirates likes to refresh their fleet sort of every fifteen years.

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.319
<v Speaker 8>They don't like to go much further than a fifteen

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.120
<v Speaker 8>year old airplane. They've been waiting for this Triple seven

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 8>to show up, so they're adding more to that backlog.

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:38.960
<v Speaker 6>I don't know that that.

0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 8>Significantly boosts Bowing profit because my guess is that airplane

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.880
<v Speaker 8>comes out the door in the mid twenty twenties once

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 8>it gets certified at low rates, you know, at threes or.

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 6>Fives kind of per month.

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.520
<v Speaker 8>So I mean, every order is a great order, but

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.240
<v Speaker 8>that order probably takes a fair amount of time to fulfill.

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:02.839
<v Speaker 8>Seventy eight seven was interesting to see them order as well.

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 6>They would have five.

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 8>More, not a lot. They already had an order on

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 8>the book for some seven eight sevens. They have orders

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 8>in the books for seventy sevens and eight three fifties,

0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.439
<v Speaker 8>which you know, I see is sort of two competing airplanes,

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 8>the Boeing and the Airbus version of that smaller long

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 8>haul airplane. Typically Emirates tries to run a cleaner fleet.

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 8>They run a fleet of usually two types, so I'm

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.080
<v Speaker 8>a little surprised to see them keep that airplane on

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 8>the order books. I thought they might have placed an

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:34.760
<v Speaker 8>order for triple seven and rationalized that because I think

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 8>that when they're done, they're going to want to go

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.480
<v Speaker 8>back to again a sort of a two airplane fleet,

0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:40.679
<v Speaker 8>and I thought it was going to be a three

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 8>point fifty triple seven. So that was pretty interesting to

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.319
<v Speaker 8>see them go back for five more seven eight sevens.

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:50.079
<v Speaker 8>Not a lot splashy order long period of time before

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:50.880
<v Speaker 8>we deliver all those.

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Airport George walk us through. The difference is, you know,

0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 1>people who don't cover Boeing for a living may not

0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:58.640
<v Speaker 1>and people don't fly as much as Paul Sweeney might

0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 1>not know what all these aircraft are. We we know

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 1>the seven three seven and the A three twenties. They're

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the narrow body single aisle aircraft that really blow to

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.600
<v Speaker 1>actually be a passenger on because there's no room at all.

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:21.719
<v Speaker 1>But is the seven seven seven Is that a bigger airplane?

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.680
<v Speaker 8>So you know, since the pandemic, we saw the eight

0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 8>three eighty and the seven four seven, the big four

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 8>engine airplanes. We see them, We got to see them

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.560
<v Speaker 8>taken out of production. And so after those airplanes come

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.199
<v Speaker 8>out of production, Triple seven will be the largest airplane

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.120
<v Speaker 8>in the skies. Really, you know, the sizes of that

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 8>Triple seven are starting to actually not even starting.

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 6>They're rivaling the seven four to seven.

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.080
<v Speaker 8>You can get four hundred mid four hundred kind of

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.840
<v Speaker 8>numbers of people on that airplane, depending on how you

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:51.559
<v Speaker 8>can figure it.

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 3>There is big is the Triple seven?

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry? Is the Triple seven as big as the

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 1>seven eighty seven? I thought the seven eighty seven, the

0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Dreamliner was like the biggest one.

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 8>No, sorry, seventy seven is smaller. Seventy seven and A

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 8>three fifty are both smaller. A three fifty nine hundred

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 8>are both smaller than Triple seven, and they fit between

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.840
<v Speaker 8>that narrow body class that you seem to love so much,

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 8>you know, the three twenty and seven three seven and

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.600
<v Speaker 8>that Triple seven. Really, those are the most in favor

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 8>airplanes right now. Right they're at three hundred ish seed

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.679
<v Speaker 8>you know, kind of twin aisles, and the ranges are great.

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 8>On the three fifteen to seven eighty seven, they can

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 8>get you, you know, really far around the world, so

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 8>you could do a lot of non stops, try to

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 8>pull in the best kind of firs, you know, fairs

0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 8>possible from those business travelers that don't want to connect anywhere.

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.679
<v Speaker 8>Triple seven has pretty good range as well, But that's

0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:46.520
<v Speaker 8>going to be the largest airplane in the sky when

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 8>seven four seven and eight three eighty are gone.

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Nice, I want to fly that Triple seven. Where are

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.480
<v Speaker 1>the routes? Where can I get on one of those things?

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 6>I think if you go to Dubai, they got a

0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 6>lot of them in the fleet. If you go to

0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 6>kat Tar you find a lot of them too. United

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:00.960
<v Speaker 6>flies them.

0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.720
<v Speaker 8>I mean they're really you know, they're a component of

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 8>most of the major, big full service airlines around the world.

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.640
<v Speaker 2>All Right, the seven three seven Max, it was so

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:11.520
<v Speaker 2>in the news for the bad.

0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Reasons, patches all the time.

0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:14.719
<v Speaker 3>They fixed that. Now I feel like it's the same

0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 3>as plane on the planet. Sure they did. They fixed it,

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 3>so just a little software fixed.

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 2>But the big thing is China. I mean, I got

0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 2>to start selling some of these planes to China.

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Where are we there?

0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, so nothing has been shipped into China. We keep

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 8>waiting eminently to see the Chinese take the airplanes that

0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:36.080
<v Speaker 8>have already been built for them and you know, are

0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.800
<v Speaker 8>awaiting sort of delivery. Going has been remarketing.

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 6>Some of those airplanes, So it kind of tells.

0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.520
<v Speaker 8>You that whatever discussions they're happening with the Chinese about

0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 8>taking those airplanes was kind of stalling lately. It feels

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 8>like there might be a thawing up coming. I think

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 8>if you're China, China pre pandemic took almost three hundred

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.600
<v Speaker 8>or about three hundred hour bodies a year, and it

0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.640
<v Speaker 8>was something not one company could do, not just Airbus,

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:05.359
<v Speaker 8>not just Boeing. Now post pandemic, as they have reutilized

0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:08.400
<v Speaker 8>their fleets and such, they just haven't needed deliveries in

0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 8>that of that size.

0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 6>Last year. I think it was about one hundred narrow

0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.360
<v Speaker 6>bodies they took. But if the Chinese look down the

0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:18.200
<v Speaker 6>road and they think they're a three hundred plus narrow

0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.280
<v Speaker 6>body delivery kind of market in the future and their

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 6>COMACC nine one nine is not going to be ready

0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:29.120
<v Speaker 6>to backfill or to supplant some of that Airbus and

0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 6>Boeing deliveries, they need to start thinking about having a

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 6>better relationship with Boeing because Airbus won't be able to

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 6>fill all of their needs. Plus, if you're going to

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 6>negotiate with Airbus and you're not buying Boeing airplanes, you're

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:47.240
<v Speaker 6>not really in a very good negotiating space, right, and

0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.160
<v Speaker 6>so I think they need to start to thaw that relationship.

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 6>We'll see how big an order comes out. These order

0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 6>books are long right now, They're six, seven, eight years long.

0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:57.480
<v Speaker 6>So they got to start to get in the back

0:15:57.520 --> 0:15:58.960
<v Speaker 6>of the queue if they want some airplanes.

0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm Boeing take to build a triple seven planes start

0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 2>to finish, Like if I put my order in now,

0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 2>when am I getting this plane?

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 8>Well, I mean the challenge, like I said, is this

0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 8>airplane's not certified yet. We've got to get the FA

0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 8>to certify it. We think it's sort of twenty twenty

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 8>five ish, right. I think there's two hundred and fifty

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 8>three hundred ish kind of orders on the books right now,

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.680
<v Speaker 8>a bunch of them emirates. If they what if they

0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:28.120
<v Speaker 8>build five a month, you'd be getting sixty out the door,

0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.920
<v Speaker 8>you know, per year. We got five years of backlog.

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 8>Golling will want to increase that if they see orders

0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 8>build and if you know, if they get enough of

0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.600
<v Speaker 8>a backlog, nobody wants to ramp up production and ramp

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:40.600
<v Speaker 8>back down production.

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.240
<v Speaker 6>So they like to see a couple of years or

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:47.880
<v Speaker 6>more before they start thinking about increasing those rates.

0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 8>But you're still talking, you know, four or five years

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:51.960
<v Speaker 8>of backlog in the airplane.

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 2>And then here's my long held opinion, which I express

0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 2>every time we talk about Boeing. They never should have

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.880
<v Speaker 2>left Seattle. Yeah, lost their engineering chops and the left Seattle.

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:00.960
<v Speaker 2>This is my personal opinion.

0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Sure, hurt the culture.

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:06.040
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, you could argue though they're now in Virginia. I

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 8>know they're close to one of their biggest customers.

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean people come out to Seattle to see tech.

0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 2>That's a great part of the world. And then go

0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:15.080
<v Speaker 2>down that highway that takes you back down to Seattle.

0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.680
<v Speaker 2>From the airport. On the left hand side of the highway,

0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.679
<v Speaker 2>it's all Boeing as far as I can see plane

0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:21.320
<v Speaker 2>stack up.

0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.760
<v Speaker 7>You're listening to the tape Cat's are live program Bloomberg

0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk commercial real estate. Where are we in the

0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:47.560
<v Speaker 2>cycle here? Margaret McKnight joins us here. She's a partner

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.600
<v Speaker 2>and head of real Estate Portfolio Solutions at Stepstone Group

0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.280
<v Speaker 2>and Nasdak created stock symbil step to put into your

0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Bloomberg terminal. She joins us live here in our New

0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.320
<v Speaker 2>York studio. So, Margaret, this is how I frame out

0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:04.639
<v Speaker 2>questions about our discussions about commercial real estate. The Lipstick Building,

0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Third Avenue, I'm gonna call it fifty fourth Street or something.

0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where it is iconic building, but it's

0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.919
<v Speaker 2>third Avenue. It's not Park Avenue, it's not Fifth Avenue.

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 2>When not Thing Trades, is it going to be a

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty percent discount, a forty percent discount, a sixty percent

0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:24.439
<v Speaker 2>discount to pre pandemic levels?

0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.000
<v Speaker 3>How bad is it out there for commercial real estate?

0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 9>So the first thing I want to do is say

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 9>that there's office and all other office is getting hit

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 9>by a cyclic pullback, especially the tech tenants pulling back

0:18:36.040 --> 0:18:38.919
<v Speaker 9>and bi secular problems because of work from home, so

0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 9>it is materially worse than any other property type. The

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.159
<v Speaker 9>other property types, while dealing with the cycle, also have

0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 9>secular lift and we can talk about that, Okay. Right now,

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.600
<v Speaker 9>office is really struggling and the capital markets have pulled back,

0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:54.600
<v Speaker 9>and most of what's going on in real estate is

0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:55.840
<v Speaker 9>a capital market pullback.

0:18:56.240 --> 0:19:01.960
<v Speaker 1>So but also retail, right, I mean, we've heard a

0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:05.400
<v Speaker 1>few cases of malls and you're from San Francisco, where

0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:09.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, the owner just says we're out, We're done,

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.680
<v Speaker 1>like Westfield did out out at that retail center.

0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:12.960
<v Speaker 7>Right.

0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 9>So, just like office is getting hit by technology change

0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:19.200
<v Speaker 9>because zoom and teams let us work from home a

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.639
<v Speaker 9>ten or fifteen years ago, real estate got hit by

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:24.520
<v Speaker 9>e commerce. That was a while ago. Since then, the

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 9>tenants have figured it out. We've all figured out what

0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.960
<v Speaker 9>formats work and don't work, and the formats that work

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.040
<v Speaker 9>have repriced and are really interesting to investors. Some of

0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.240
<v Speaker 9>these malls are the ones that don't and are largely

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:38.080
<v Speaker 9>pushed out of the institutional portfolios and not really where

0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.919
<v Speaker 9>the focus is. The focus is on things like industrial

0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.400
<v Speaker 9>and multifamily that have a lot of lyft right now

0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:46.119
<v Speaker 9>that are pretty interesting and you can use this period

0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:49.200
<v Speaker 9>of turmoil to find good entry points and opportunity.

0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 2>All right, So for the areas are just broadly defined,

0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, commercial real estate, given where rates have moved

0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 2>this year, how does that impact your businesses? Like on

0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:03.080
<v Speaker 2>a residential side, nothing's trading, Nobody wants to sell their house.

0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 2>What's it like on the commercial side.

0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.280
<v Speaker 9>Homes are not trading. That means more people are pushed

0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:09.320
<v Speaker 9>and capped back in the rental market. So if you

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:13.240
<v Speaker 9>own rental properties, it's actually a pretty good time. It's

0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:15.960
<v Speaker 9>slowing because it's vulnerable to the cycle, but the outlook

0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:19.680
<v Speaker 9>is good. And similarly for industrial, which is benefiting from

0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:22.719
<v Speaker 9>e commerce and it's benefiting from globalization. So what we

0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.320
<v Speaker 9>really have is a capital markets correction, so prices are

0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:29.520
<v Speaker 9>going down, balance sheets are restructuring. People New loans are

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.600
<v Speaker 9>smaller than old loans, so people need recapitalization money. What

0:20:32.640 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 9>we call gp led secondaries is one way to do

0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:37.520
<v Speaker 9>it to actually keep their assets, and they're desperate for

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:39.600
<v Speaker 9>that money because the difference is a goose egg. So

0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:41.879
<v Speaker 9>there's a really good time to deploy capital into some

0:20:41.920 --> 0:20:43.240
<v Speaker 9>of these interesting strategies.

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Really, which puts Stepstone I guess in a good position, right,

0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Or what do you do at Stepstone? You offer private

0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:56.840
<v Speaker 1>investors access to markets that the public doesn't see or Yes.

0:20:56.920 --> 0:21:02.639
<v Speaker 9>We design portfolios for institutional, large institutional and high private

0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:06.800
<v Speaker 9>wealth clients that are designed to improve the odds of

0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:10.280
<v Speaker 9>meeting their specific portfolio goals. And that's what I focus

0:21:10.320 --> 0:21:14.000
<v Speaker 9>on particularly. And then that includes taking advantage of market opportunities,

0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:16.440
<v Speaker 9>and then we also execute we help them find in

0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:17.680
<v Speaker 9>that transactions.

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.399
<v Speaker 3>So where are you guys putting capital to work these days?

0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:23.000
<v Speaker 9>Our favorite strategy right now is this gp LED this

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:26.960
<v Speaker 9>recapitalization where you've got an owner who needs to buy

0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:29.440
<v Speaker 9>down his existing loan and is desperate for money to

0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:33.080
<v Speaker 9>keep his asset so that they will pay a lot

0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:37.160
<v Speaker 9>for that transitional money and not everything savable. So over

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.800
<v Speaker 9>time a lot, there will be motivated sales and distress

0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:42.680
<v Speaker 9>sales that are also going to be a we're the

0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 9>leading edge. We're definitely seeing in our book transactions that

0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:49.679
<v Speaker 9>look like the immediate post GFC period which ended up

0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:51.360
<v Speaker 9>yielding very attractive.

0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 2>So what are some what are properties trading at today? Again,

0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:56.440
<v Speaker 2>if that lifstick building trades today, what discount do you

0:21:56.440 --> 0:21:59.159
<v Speaker 2>think that trade's at so Rules State on Third Avenue

0:21:59.160 --> 0:21:59.600
<v Speaker 2>in Midtown.

0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 9>Every property is different. That's that's the tricky part of

0:22:02.720 --> 0:22:06.800
<v Speaker 9>commercial real estate. The property pricing indexes are down a

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:10.320
<v Speaker 9>little over twenty percent and trading is down about forty percent,

0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:13.399
<v Speaker 9>so it's a little bit slower and not full price discovery.

0:22:13.560 --> 0:22:17.800
<v Speaker 9>Office is completely different though. Office is what's really not

0:22:17.920 --> 0:22:19.400
<v Speaker 9>trading and it's really broken.

0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:24.840
<v Speaker 1>So you like, where are you finding the distressed what

0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:27.960
<v Speaker 1>will look like distressed opportunities? I mean you're not looking

0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:30.239
<v Speaker 1>in office. I'm guessing or do or will you if

0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:32.960
<v Speaker 1>they say, hey, this is seventy percent off.

0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:35.520
<v Speaker 9>Right now, we're not seeing that. Pricing is interesting enough

0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:39.040
<v Speaker 9>because there's too much uncertainty. Employers and employees are in

0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:41.240
<v Speaker 9>a big experiment on hybrid work and we don't know

0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:43.400
<v Speaker 9>what that means for demand or for leases yet.

0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:45.920
<v Speaker 1>So it is so for office, it's just a falling

0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:48.320
<v Speaker 1>knife that no one almost no one's willing to catch

0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:48.760
<v Speaker 1>right now.

0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:51.560
<v Speaker 9>Institutional buyers are not going into office right now in

0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 9>any numbers.

0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:54.400
<v Speaker 3>I can't wait to see that. At some point it's

0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:57.919
<v Speaker 3>going to be a just huge haircut. Yeah, But what

0:22:57.960 --> 0:22:58.679
<v Speaker 3>you're saying is go.

0:22:58.720 --> 0:23:01.080
<v Speaker 2>By the lipstick building it no idea, what like, at

0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:02.919
<v Speaker 2>thirty cents on a dollar, it's got to be a

0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:03.960
<v Speaker 2>great deal, right.

0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:06.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean at some point, but what's that number.

0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 3>That's why I'm not in that business.

0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:10.200
<v Speaker 1>It's the same as any asset when there are no buyers, right,

0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:12.040
<v Speaker 1>it's in free fall and you've got to have the

0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess, the courage or the stupidity to go in

0:23:15.119 --> 0:23:17.800
<v Speaker 1>there and try and catch it. But what you're saying,

0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Margaret is that you're there's a shift in capital interest, right,

0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:25.000
<v Speaker 1>They're more interested in multi family, they're more interested and

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm guessing like server farms.

0:23:27.960 --> 0:23:30.840
<v Speaker 9>Industrial warehouse is a big part of it because there's

0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:33.920
<v Speaker 9>a huge shift in how people are using space right now.

0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:36.240
<v Speaker 9>Instead of working at the office, we're working from home,

0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 9>We're shopping from home, we're playing at home. So that

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:41.640
<v Speaker 9>creates more demand on the residential side. And then also

0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:44.000
<v Speaker 9>the warehouses you know, holds all the goods that come

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:46.199
<v Speaker 9>in for the shopping and are really winning on the

0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:49.480
<v Speaker 9>deglobalization front, which, like you said, server farms, data centers

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:52.240
<v Speaker 9>and whatnot are also big. So there's sectors in the

0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:54.560
<v Speaker 9>market that have really interesting fundamentals and if you could

0:23:54.640 --> 0:23:57.520
<v Speaker 9>use this moment to buy at a discount it. You know,

0:23:57.680 --> 0:23:58.800
<v Speaker 9>good opportunities have now.

0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:01.280
<v Speaker 2>But can I get a Can I get capital to

0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:03.720
<v Speaker 2>do that? Can I get a loan to do that? Well,

0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:04.480
<v Speaker 2>banks lend to.

0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:08.400
<v Speaker 9>Me, so yes, banks are lending to their best customers.

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:12.080
<v Speaker 9>You can also restructure your existing loans. And again that's

0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 9>where this recap strategy comes in that we think is

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:18.440
<v Speaker 9>so interesting. As I said, trading value is down forty percent,

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:20.680
<v Speaker 9>it's not down one hundred percent, and it's way higher

0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:22.919
<v Speaker 9>than it was during the GFC period. So there is

0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:26.199
<v Speaker 9>still movement. There is a lot of especially if you're

0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:28.040
<v Speaker 9>trying to sell office, it needs to be seller finance

0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:29.720
<v Speaker 9>because there's no debt for office.

0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:30.760
<v Speaker 3>No debt for office.

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Wow, seller finance.

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:34.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't like that. That's scary.

0:24:35.280 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, I want to sell you this thing so

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 1>badly that I'm going to lend you the money to

0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:39.879
<v Speaker 1>buy it from me.

0:24:40.040 --> 0:24:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, exactly, I've seen that before in other businesses.

0:24:43.480 --> 0:24:46.400
<v Speaker 3>So again, do you feel like where do you feel

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:47.800
<v Speaker 3>like we are just in I.

0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Guess it's really by the asset class, right, I mean,

0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:51.920
<v Speaker 2>like I was gonna say, are we at the bottom here?

0:24:51.920 --> 0:24:55.480
<v Speaker 2>But in certain sectors we've already bottom dinner trading higher,

0:24:55.480 --> 0:24:57.240
<v Speaker 2>but for office maybe not there yet.

0:24:57.280 --> 0:24:59.440
<v Speaker 9>For non office where at the beginning, and probably a

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:02.680
<v Speaker 9>two to three restructuring period that should yield some very interesting,

0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:06.639
<v Speaker 9>as I said, opportunities to help people restructure as we

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:08.639
<v Speaker 9>move through the business cycle and we come out the

0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:11.680
<v Speaker 9>other side. You know, the motto now is stay alive

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:12.680
<v Speaker 9>till twenty five.

0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:15.120
<v Speaker 3>Stay alive till twenty.

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.280
<v Speaker 9>That's not true for office. And I think the office

0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:19.600
<v Speaker 9>is more like I alluded to retail was a ton

0:25:19.640 --> 0:25:21.760
<v Speaker 9>of fifteen year correction. I think office is more like

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:24.680
<v Speaker 9>a ten year because tonants have to figure out their demands.

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:27.440
<v Speaker 9>There's long term leases that need to roll off, and

0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:28.440
<v Speaker 9>it's going to take a while.

0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:28.760
<v Speaker 7>Wow.

0:25:29.119 --> 0:25:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk quickly about San Francisco. That's where you live,

0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Paul and I think both love the city. I think

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:38.320
<v Speaker 1>it's beautiful. I love the Humphrey and Slocum ice cream place.

0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:41.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm a deadhead, so I like to go around hate Ashbury,

0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:44.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, and check out the scene there. I never

0:25:44.080 --> 0:25:47.360
<v Speaker 1>really hung out in the industrial commercial center very much,

0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:50.320
<v Speaker 1>but apparently it's dead. What do you think it is?

0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:57.919
<v Speaker 1>The you know, are the death stories about San Francisco overblown, overwritten.

0:25:58.600 --> 0:26:00.800
<v Speaker 9>The Bay area is a center to the Vegas and

0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:03.679
<v Speaker 9>most important tact ecosystems in the world. I am not

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 9>going to beat against San Francisco at all. And it's

0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:07.440
<v Speaker 9>a fabulous place to live.

0:26:07.800 --> 0:26:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Still, you still enjoy living there.

0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:12.120
<v Speaker 9>Yes, and remember we don't all live we don't live downtown.

0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:15.120
<v Speaker 9>That's part of the problem. Office key card use says

0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:18.239
<v Speaker 9>use office Houston, New York is fifty percent, office US

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 9>in San Francisco is forty five percent. You just feel

0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:24.639
<v Speaker 9>it because there's it's more concentrated, and the tourism is

0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:26.840
<v Speaker 9>not back there, and here you have integrated uses, so

0:26:26.880 --> 0:26:27.600
<v Speaker 9>it feels lively.

0:26:27.960 --> 0:26:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeap, when I hear tourism isn't back, that makes me

0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:30.960
<v Speaker 1>want to go to that place.

0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you know, I love it, and I just I

0:26:34.320 --> 0:26:36.359
<v Speaker 2>always tell people that are coming from Europe, Hey, I've

0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:37.920
<v Speaker 2>got I'm gonna be hearing the stage for three or

0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:38.440
<v Speaker 2>four weeks.

0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:39.440
<v Speaker 3>Where do I go to say?

0:26:39.640 --> 0:26:42.800
<v Speaker 2>One stop has to be San Francis. Yeah, do your Vegas,

0:26:42.800 --> 0:26:44.440
<v Speaker 2>do your New York, but one stop has to be

0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:46.600
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco. I'm just not sure if you can do

0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:48.880
<v Speaker 2>that say that anymore. But I still think that's the case,

0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:50.680
<v Speaker 2>so don't bet against the Bay Area.

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:52.119
<v Speaker 3>Thank you very much. Margaret McKnight.

<v Speaker 2>All right, Matt, I'm taking my year to day gains.

0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:25.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to the two year treasure.

0:27:25.480 --> 0:27:26.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm giving them my money at the window and we

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:29.680
<v Speaker 3>get five point zero four percent. It's not bad.

0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:32.040
<v Speaker 1>You've got a lot of reinvestment risk ahead.

0:27:32.119 --> 0:27:33.960
<v Speaker 3>That's not good. Then all right, let's talk to somebodyho

0:27:33.960 --> 0:27:34.840
<v Speaker 3>does this stuff for a living.

0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Ted Oakley, founder and managing partner at Oxbow Advisors, joining

0:27:38.560 --> 0:27:41.119
<v Speaker 2>us live in our Bloomberg Interactive Brokers studio.

0:27:41.600 --> 0:27:43.920
<v Speaker 3>You shoot, you're based where are you based? Down in Texas?

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.480
<v Speaker 3>Austin Austin. Okay, all right, so.

0:27:46.440 --> 0:27:48.680
<v Speaker 2>You didn't your school, you're a Texas tech. You didn't

0:27:48.720 --> 0:27:51.119
<v Speaker 2>fire your coach and guarantee the seventy six million dollars,

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:51.520
<v Speaker 2>did you?

0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:53.920
<v Speaker 10>We did not. We don't have that kind of money.

0:27:54.000 --> 0:27:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, very good. Want to see what's going on down

0:27:56.320 --> 0:27:58.480
<v Speaker 2>there in Texas. Everything's bigger in Texas. I know, I

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:01.480
<v Speaker 2>get that, all right, Ted here again, I can be

0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:03.760
<v Speaker 2>just fine. In my two year treasury of five point

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:06.480
<v Speaker 2>zero four percent, Matt says, I have reinvestment risk.

0:28:06.960 --> 0:28:08.359
<v Speaker 3>What do you guys do in these days?

0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 10>Well, we own a lot of that. Actually, we have

0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:15.920
<v Speaker 10>probably the highest level of treasures we've had since two thousand. Really, yeah,

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:18.040
<v Speaker 10>we're very high in the treasuries. We have a lot

0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:21.000
<v Speaker 10>of the floating rate treasury, which is even shorter. It's

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:24.760
<v Speaker 10>based on a ninety day reset every Monday, and it's

0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:27.240
<v Speaker 10>about five and a half. And then you know, we

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:29.320
<v Speaker 10>own some one year or two year and we own

0:28:29.600 --> 0:28:33.280
<v Speaker 10>some long paper. But right now, that's that's where we

0:28:33.359 --> 0:28:35.000
<v Speaker 10>have a lot of liquidity stashed.

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 3>What do do you have?

0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:39.960
<v Speaker 2>What are you looking for to maybe get more exposure

0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:42.840
<v Speaker 2>to the equity markets? Is that evaluation thing is that

0:28:43.200 --> 0:28:45.280
<v Speaker 2>or an earning thing. Is it a federal reserve thing?

0:28:45.320 --> 0:28:47.280
<v Speaker 2>What is a catalyst that you guys are looking for?

0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:49.840
<v Speaker 10>You know, most of the companies we look at are

0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:53.720
<v Speaker 10>guiding somewhat lower, you know, in the in the coming quarters.

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 10>We don't look at whether they beat or not, because

0:28:56.520 --> 0:28:58.600
<v Speaker 10>that's a game they all play, but we look at

0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:01.880
<v Speaker 10>the guidance on it, and the guidance is going down

0:29:01.880 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 10>for a lot of companies, and a lot of companies

0:29:03.440 --> 0:29:05.520
<v Speaker 10>are just not cheap enough for us. We have companies

0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:09.360
<v Speaker 10>we like, we've been buying some of the consumer staples

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:12.880
<v Speaker 10>because they've gone back down to a level that we liked. Okay,

0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:17.240
<v Speaker 10>but we've been you know, we still own legacy growth companies,

0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:18.960
<v Speaker 10>but we cut back on them quite a bit.

0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:22.120
<v Speaker 1>So does that mean you're out of the market for

0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the foreseeable future in terms of equities.

0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:28.280
<v Speaker 10>No, man, it means that we're about half in. You

0:29:28.280 --> 0:29:30.960
<v Speaker 10>can look at it that way, I suppose. But you know,

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:34.479
<v Speaker 10>we really feel like that we'll have a better spot

0:29:34.560 --> 0:29:36.320
<v Speaker 10>here in the next two or three quarters than we

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:40.400
<v Speaker 10>have right now. We really see weakness coming. We see

0:29:40.480 --> 0:29:43.840
<v Speaker 10>a lot in a lot of industries across the country.

0:29:43.960 --> 0:29:49.320
<v Speaker 10>We see transportation, retail, trucking. So many things are starting

0:29:49.360 --> 0:29:52.160
<v Speaker 10>to weaken now, and so for us, we just don't

0:29:52.160 --> 0:29:54.600
<v Speaker 10>think it's over yet. So that's why we're a bit cautious.

0:29:55.000 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 3>So do you have a recession built into your forecast here? Well,

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:00.000
<v Speaker 3>you could.

0:30:00.000 --> 0:30:03.160
<v Speaker 10>I think it'll go so slow that it will feel

0:30:03.200 --> 0:30:04.800
<v Speaker 10>like one at least. You know, if you go to

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:08.640
<v Speaker 10>zero growth, Paul or one, you know, that will probably

0:30:08.680 --> 0:30:11.280
<v Speaker 10>feel like a recession to some people because some industries

0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 10>will be very, very slow. And then you have to

0:30:13.920 --> 0:30:16.280
<v Speaker 10>deal with this debt situation with the Fed too. I

0:30:16.280 --> 0:30:17.200
<v Speaker 10>think that's a problem.

0:30:17.280 --> 0:30:19.280
<v Speaker 3>Ah, that's your rid of your belly.

0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, I mean do you see any kind of

0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 1>fiscal discipline coming to this government anytime soon?

0:30:29.560 --> 0:30:32.400
<v Speaker 10>I don't. I haven't seen it before. Now maybe they

0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:34.680
<v Speaker 10>come around, but you know, it takes both sides of

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:36.120
<v Speaker 10>the of the eyele to do it.

0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:38.120
<v Speaker 1>And does it matter to you?

0:30:38.160 --> 0:30:38.520
<v Speaker 6>Do you?

0:30:38.600 --> 0:30:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Are you concerned when you look at the debts and

0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:42.480
<v Speaker 1>deficit or some people say we've been doing this since Reagan,

0:30:42.520 --> 0:30:43.840
<v Speaker 1>we can keep doing it.

0:30:43.840 --> 0:30:46.000
<v Speaker 10>It matters to me in this respect. If you go

0:30:46.080 --> 0:30:48.680
<v Speaker 10>back and look at countries where they get to a

0:30:48.720 --> 0:30:53.360
<v Speaker 10>certain breaking point, and we're about three quarters there. And

0:30:53.440 --> 0:30:57.080
<v Speaker 10>people don't realize that the average debt that we're paying

0:30:57.120 --> 0:30:59.200
<v Speaker 10>right now is about two point six percent on all

0:30:59.240 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 10>the federal debts. Well, guess what fifty percent of it

0:31:02.400 --> 0:31:06.120
<v Speaker 10>rolls over in two years. At five you're gonna almost

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 10>double it. And people, I don't think people realize what

0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:11.320
<v Speaker 10>happens when you when you get so much debt and

0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:15.040
<v Speaker 10>then they monitor debation monetary system and I know it

0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:17.560
<v Speaker 10>hasn't happened in the past, but now it's getting to

0:31:17.600 --> 0:31:19.920
<v Speaker 10>a breaking point. You can follow it with countries over

0:31:19.960 --> 0:31:21.160
<v Speaker 10>time and see what happens.

0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:26.120
<v Speaker 2>On the equity side here, I know you mentioned look

0:31:26.160 --> 0:31:28.960
<v Speaker 2>looking for income, So oil and gas pipelines.

0:31:28.880 --> 0:31:32.080
<v Speaker 10>We still have those. We rarely sell the oil and

0:31:32.120 --> 0:31:37.440
<v Speaker 10>gas pipelines. They're steady producers. They usually increase the income

0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:40.080
<v Speaker 10>a little bit each year. If you wanted something to

0:31:41.040 --> 0:31:43.760
<v Speaker 10>compete with your real estate on a private basis, you

0:31:43.800 --> 0:31:46.520
<v Speaker 10>put on the oil and gas pipeline because half of

0:31:46.560 --> 0:31:48.760
<v Speaker 10>them file on a K one just like real estate,

0:31:49.280 --> 0:31:51.440
<v Speaker 10>so you don't have any current income tax on it.

0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:55.280
<v Speaker 10>And secondly, they all pay between seven and nine so

0:31:55.360 --> 0:31:55.720
<v Speaker 10>you get a.

0:31:57.240 --> 0:31:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you're not building pipelines anymore?

0:31:59.080 --> 0:32:01.720
<v Speaker 10>Are they You hit the nail on the head. It's

0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:04.040
<v Speaker 10>like it's like I tell people, be like trying to

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:06.600
<v Speaker 10>get an easement for a for a railroad track, right,

0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:09.080
<v Speaker 10>you think about that today you can't do that, and

0:32:09.120 --> 0:32:11.840
<v Speaker 10>then you have environmental concerns and it's hard to get

0:32:12.040 --> 0:32:12.520
<v Speaker 10>these days.

0:32:12.680 --> 0:32:14.760
<v Speaker 2>I tell people, when I was pitching the billboard companies

0:32:14.760 --> 0:32:16.360
<v Speaker 2>back in the day, I say, they're not making any

0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:17.000
<v Speaker 2>more billboards.

0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:19.960
<v Speaker 3>Can't get them up. Yeah, you gotta by the ones

0:32:19.960 --> 0:32:20.520
<v Speaker 3>that are out.

0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 1>There, and how's that business going?

0:32:22.560 --> 0:32:24.080
<v Speaker 3>Awesome? Yeah, awesome.

0:32:24.520 --> 0:32:27.400
<v Speaker 2>You can't You can't click through a billboard ad. You know,

0:32:27.840 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 2>that's true, can't block it?

0:32:29.360 --> 0:32:34.000
<v Speaker 1>That's true. What about other real estate plays? For example,

0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 1>in Texas, I know there are a lot of big

0:32:36.520 --> 0:32:39.960
<v Speaker 1>data centers, there's a lot of big factory sorry, big

0:32:40.000 --> 0:32:44.320
<v Speaker 1>warehouse businesses. You got a lot of land down there, right,

0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:49.080
<v Speaker 1>So there's even green energy is a huge industry in Texas,

0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:53.400
<v Speaker 1>despite what we may all think about Texans attitudes towards that.

0:32:54.360 --> 0:32:56.400
<v Speaker 10>Well, that's true. But what we see and I'm I'm

0:32:56.440 --> 0:32:59.200
<v Speaker 10>involved quite a quite heavily in a community bank, and

0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:01.200
<v Speaker 10>so I see a lot what's going on on the

0:33:01.240 --> 0:33:04.320
<v Speaker 10>real estate side. What we're seeing, Matt is really we're

0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:08.520
<v Speaker 10>starting to see even some industrial properties come up for

0:33:08.640 --> 0:33:11.360
<v Speaker 10>least because they're not full. And now we're starting to

0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:14.520
<v Speaker 10>see some commercial buildings actually go back to the banks.

0:33:14.520 --> 0:33:17.000
<v Speaker 10>I mean they're giving the keys back, and so it's

0:33:17.040 --> 0:33:19.320
<v Speaker 10>starting to show. It's starting to show it's where and

0:33:19.360 --> 0:33:20.200
<v Speaker 10>tear there too.

0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:21.960
<v Speaker 2>So do you guys at the bank you're involved with,

0:33:22.000 --> 0:33:25.720
<v Speaker 2>you have commercial real estate exposure very very little fortunately, okay,

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:30.120
<v Speaker 2>But so are your customers. I mean, what are you

0:33:30.120 --> 0:33:33.440
<v Speaker 2>seeing at that regional bank level. Is there loan demand

0:33:33.560 --> 0:33:34.880
<v Speaker 2>there at these interest rates?

0:33:35.280 --> 0:33:38.400
<v Speaker 10>You know, in most community banks, Paul, the loan aman

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:42.320
<v Speaker 10>is about steady. It really is not going up or down.

0:33:42.880 --> 0:33:45.320
<v Speaker 10>All the banks are fighting to try to get the loans.

0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:47.640
<v Speaker 10>And so while you've got an eight and a half

0:33:47.640 --> 0:33:50.200
<v Speaker 10>percent prime, they're having to come in at six and

0:33:50.200 --> 0:33:52.640
<v Speaker 10>a half or six and three quarters and to get

0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:56.240
<v Speaker 10>that business. That's what we're seeing. I think they're really

0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:58.680
<v Speaker 10>the banks are really concerned about it because most of

0:33:58.720 --> 0:34:01.720
<v Speaker 10>them have a situation where they have bond portfolios that

0:34:01.720 --> 0:34:04.640
<v Speaker 10>are not all that great. And then the other problem

0:34:04.800 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 10>is they can get a lot of new you know

0:34:07.120 --> 0:34:08.960
<v Speaker 10>see and nine new business loans.

0:34:08.960 --> 0:34:09.799
<v Speaker 3>That's hard for them.

0:34:10.520 --> 0:34:12.960
<v Speaker 2>So broadly defined, I mean, Texas is so big you

0:34:12.960 --> 0:34:15.319
<v Speaker 2>can't talk about the state, But I mean, what are

0:34:15.400 --> 0:34:17.920
<v Speaker 2>some of the driving forces down there for the economy.

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:20.279
<v Speaker 2>Is it still just people or people and businesses are

0:34:20.280 --> 0:34:23.920
<v Speaker 2>coming into the state because of maybe favorable tax situation,

0:34:24.600 --> 0:34:25.520
<v Speaker 2>good labor forces.

0:34:25.560 --> 0:34:26.680
<v Speaker 3>That's still the story there.

0:34:27.239 --> 0:34:29.799
<v Speaker 10>Well, that's what we see now at Oxbode. We do

0:34:29.880 --> 0:34:31.960
<v Speaker 10>business in forty states, so we do business all over

0:34:31.960 --> 0:34:34.759
<v Speaker 10>the country. But in Texas we have a lot of

0:34:34.800 --> 0:34:37.239
<v Speaker 10>new business that came in just from people that moved

0:34:37.239 --> 0:34:40.439
<v Speaker 10>from other states at high tax states. They just got

0:34:40.520 --> 0:34:42.880
<v Speaker 10>tired of what was going on in some of their states.

0:34:43.440 --> 0:34:45.799
<v Speaker 10>On the business side, portsol and gas is still a

0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:48.680
<v Speaker 10>big business in Texas, but we have a lot of manufacturing,

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:50.879
<v Speaker 10>We have a lot of tech. We have a lot

0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:53.200
<v Speaker 10>of things that happen in the state. You know, the

0:34:53.239 --> 0:34:56.160
<v Speaker 10>state's it's still a place where you can go and

0:34:56.360 --> 0:34:59.080
<v Speaker 10>sort of be a bit of a maverick. And I

0:34:59.520 --> 0:35:01.080
<v Speaker 10>think why people come there.

0:35:01.760 --> 0:35:04.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm telling you like freedom, I know exactly.

0:35:04.920 --> 0:35:08.759
<v Speaker 2>It's in short supply some taxes, man, Yeah, can crush here.

0:35:09.200 --> 0:35:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Tell me about telling you about it all right? So

0:35:11.280 --> 0:35:13.239
<v Speaker 3>what's your over the next twelve months?

0:35:13.280 --> 0:35:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Ted, what do you do you think you guys will

0:35:14.840 --> 0:35:17.360
<v Speaker 2>get more into the equity market, increase your exposure. What

0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:19.600
<v Speaker 2>do you think you'll be making some changes to your

0:35:19.640 --> 0:35:20.759
<v Speaker 2>portfolio of the next twelve months.

0:35:20.800 --> 0:35:21.560
<v Speaker 3>What do you anticipate?

0:35:23.000 --> 0:35:26.560
<v Speaker 10>It would not surprise me to see us at least

0:35:26.560 --> 0:35:28.400
<v Speaker 10>get a lot more if we have a break in

0:35:28.440 --> 0:35:30.479
<v Speaker 10>the market that we feel like things are cheap enough,

0:35:30.840 --> 0:35:33.760
<v Speaker 10>You'll see, let's get almost fully invested. We'll find companies

0:35:33.800 --> 0:35:38.319
<v Speaker 10>we usually will. We really run about two hundred hundred

0:35:38.320 --> 0:35:40.520
<v Speaker 10>and fifty companies that we would want to own that

0:35:40.600 --> 0:35:43.560
<v Speaker 10>we look at quite a bit. Most of those are

0:35:43.560 --> 0:35:46.160
<v Speaker 10>not hitting the screens we want to to buy right now.

0:35:46.400 --> 0:35:47.799
<v Speaker 3>And is that a valuation screen?

0:35:48.080 --> 0:35:51.200
<v Speaker 10>There's a valuation screen we like companies with. We find

0:35:51.400 --> 0:35:54.400
<v Speaker 10>in the long run you need own companies that don't

0:35:54.440 --> 0:35:57.359
<v Speaker 10>have a lot of debt. I mean, you know, debt

0:35:57.520 --> 0:36:00.600
<v Speaker 10>really for us is not working in the long run

0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:02.920
<v Speaker 10>for companies, and we just feel like we'll get a

0:36:02.920 --> 0:36:05.080
<v Speaker 10>shot at better valuations we have right now.

0:36:06.280 --> 0:36:09.239
<v Speaker 3>What's your latest book? Stay rich with a balance portfolio?

0:36:09.640 --> 0:36:09.879
<v Speaker 7>Right?

0:36:10.120 --> 0:36:10.920
<v Speaker 3>So what am I doing there?

0:36:10.960 --> 0:36:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Am I just rish reward, making sure I don't get

0:36:13.560 --> 0:36:15.200
<v Speaker 2>too far too skewed one way or the other.

0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:15.920
<v Speaker 7>You know.

0:36:16.000 --> 0:36:19.480
<v Speaker 10>One of the things I've noticed really since the pandemic particularly,

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:24.520
<v Speaker 10>is that people are really they're all in one or

0:36:24.560 --> 0:36:28.560
<v Speaker 10>two things, like maybe they go all into crypt currency,

0:36:28.800 --> 0:36:33.239
<v Speaker 10>all into real estate, all into the Magnificent seven, all

0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:36.640
<v Speaker 10>in something, you know, and they don't have any balance.

0:36:36.640 --> 0:36:38.480
<v Speaker 10>And one of the things I've found, and I've really

0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:42.120
<v Speaker 10>interviewed in my life quite a few billionaires, and one

0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:44.160
<v Speaker 10>of the things I've noticed about them is they usually

0:36:44.160 --> 0:36:46.279
<v Speaker 10>have balance. May not think it, but they have quite

0:36:46.280 --> 0:36:48.040
<v Speaker 10>a bit of balance, have quite a bit of liquidity.

0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:52.719
<v Speaker 10>And I see people today that are sort of complacent

0:36:52.840 --> 0:36:56.480
<v Speaker 10>because nothing real bad has happened so far, and so

0:36:56.640 --> 0:36:59.200
<v Speaker 10>they're all chocked full of one thing. And I just

0:36:59.239 --> 0:37:00.840
<v Speaker 10>think that's not a good way to go. If you

0:37:00.880 --> 0:37:03.200
<v Speaker 10>want to, I'll just give you a note. If you

0:37:03.320 --> 0:37:05.799
<v Speaker 10>take a million dollar person nineteen hundred, they'd be a

0:37:05.800 --> 0:37:06.400
<v Speaker 10>billion a day.

0:37:06.520 --> 0:37:07.839
<v Speaker 3>Yep, there you go. I could do that.

0:37:07.920 --> 0:37:09.880
