00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: in the construction industry that is still under pressure around

23
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: the world. These are things weighing on the world's biggest

24
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: agricultural equipment manufacturer, that's Deer and Company. The stock price

25

Speaker 1: down five percent today, trading at seventy eight dollars and change.

26
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: Here to tell us about the quarter, the quarterly results

27
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: for Deer and even more importantly, what they have to

28
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: do next and what lies ahead is our own Karen

29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: obial Heart. She's industrials analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence. So Karen, Uh,

30
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: the quarter was a beat, helped by a lower tax rate,

31
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: but there was bad news in three segments. Yeah you know. Uh.

32
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: The big surprise in the quarter was the credits of

33
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: which usually gives them pretty stable earnings and fluctuates a

34
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: little bit with volume or uh demand for equipment, but

35
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: this time there was a real shortfall and operating leases

36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: which cut people. By surprise, UM, the company had to

37
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: write off residual values. UM equipment is being turned in

38
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: earlier than uh, you know the end of the lease.

39
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: Because farmers are under stress. It's just another indication of stress.

40
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: And Deer had to cut their expectations for the credit

41
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: sub quite a bit. So that was the biggest surprise. Uh,

42
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: construction equipment have been weak. Uh, they have largely North

43
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: American exposure. UM. The pricing was a lot worse there,

44
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: and they indicated that big competitors were discounting more than

45
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: expected and studed that it wasn't necessarily the Japanese. So

46
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: that's probably UM Caterpillar, which is the biggest construction equipment producer.

47
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: And then the third piece of bad news is the

48
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: company did not just aid us from concluding that might

49
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: be a fourth down year for farm equipment, which is

50
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: their largest and most profitable business. That was not anticipated UM,

51
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 1: and that if a fourth down year would be for

52
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: the worst for farm equipment since the late nineties. So uh,

53
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, even though it looked like they'd be you know,

54
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: inside the numbers, that looked quite that across the board.

55
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: Karen speak if you can about the effects of lower

56
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: prices for oil, natural gas, and other mining commodities. Mainly

57
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: because if you've got construction equipment and you're not using it,

58
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: You're going to put that back on the market. That

59
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: means a lot of used stuff is available. Yeah, use

60
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: equipment prices have been a pressure for them in both

61
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: egg and construction and construction, um, the oil business. What's

62
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: happened is that's returned a lot of equipment, that construction

63
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: equipment that was being used in that that market is

64
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: now the uh you know, being returned to be used

65
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: in construction markets which aren't that strong in and of itself.

66
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: So the oil and gas market is definitely backed up

67
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: on the on the you know, construction equipment side as well, um,

68
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: the discounting. We've had tough pricing, but Deer actually said

69
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: construction equipment prices will be negative this year and I

70
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: think that that was worse than expected. And they decided

71
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: sales incentives, which is basically companies trying trying to preserve

72
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: market share. So, Karen, what lines ahead. Deer has been

73
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: taking steps to cut costs right to pull back and

74
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: you can understand that there was it was a big

75
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: move upcomudi prices. They were riding high, right, So where

76
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: are they in a cycle now? Have they? Is it

77
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: time for people to take a look because there's value

78
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: there now or do they still have a lot of

79
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: work to do to get their you know, get their

80
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: model in line. I think, um, we have to let um,

81
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, people observed absorb the latest bit news and

82
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: that this might be another down year in seventeen. I

83
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: think the general consensus thinking was, okay, is going to

84
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: be a third down year, which would be a longer

85
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: downturn than average. But now we've got another it's yere

86
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: to uh to perhaps contend with and uh, you know,

87
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: I think that that has to settle in the numbers

88
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: had to continue to come down. UM. The company has

89
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: done very well on an operational level given what they're

90
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: dealing with. UM, but I think this latest shot, um,

91
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, I think we need a little time to

92
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: um figure out what the implications of that will be

93
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: for next year. I think basically people were not expecting

94
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: a big pot next year, but they weren't expecting another

95
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: down year. Thank you very much, Karen Eubile, Heart Industrials

Speaker 1: He is Bloomberg News politics reporter and producer joining us

103
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: from Washington, d C, home to Bloomberg and one oh

104
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: five point seven h D two Sahil Bernie Sanders Hillary Clinton?

105
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: Are we going to get a contested convention? I wouldn't

106
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: say a contested convention, but it does look like we're

107
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: going to go to the convention without either of the

108
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: two candidates having officially clinched the votes they need UM

109
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: to to guarantee themselves the nominee. Because remember, hundreds of

110
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: delegates at the convention are super delegates and they can

111
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: vote for whoever they want. So if we take the

112
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: super delegates out their word, which I think we're pretty

113
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: safe to do, then Hillary Clinton is the odds on favorite,

114
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: UM overwhelmingly likely, all but certain that she will be

115
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,119
Speaker 1: the nominee. And I think that's pretty clear to everyone,

116
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: including UM the Bernie Sanders folks, even if they are

117
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: fighting to the end. What would happen if Bernie Sanders

118
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: won California? Would I mean to a certain extent. It

119
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: might not totally change the math. But that's a big

120
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: state and there's a lot of delegates there. It is

121
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: a big site, and there are a lot of delegates.

122
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: But keep in mind these are proportionately allocated. So if

123
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: he wins by four or five points, and they'll split

124
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: the delegates and he will and he won't net that many, right,

125
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: So even if he does win California is not gonna matter.

126
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna need to win California on the remaining states

127
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: by as much as thirty to thirty five points, which

128
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: is the sort of thing that that's going to take

129
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: a miracle to achieve. So he'll Philadelphia has already approved

130
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: four demonstration permits in support of Senator Bernie Sanders for

131
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: the July Democratic National Convention. They're figuring on a very

132
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: large rally that will be planned near the convention center.

133
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: What will that look like and what will that do

134
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: to the inevitable race between the Democratic nominee and the

135
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: Republican nominee. We can certainly expect a rowdy series of

136
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: demonstrations from Bernie Sanders supporter as he's activated a long

137
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: dormant element of the Democratic party that's been dormant at

138
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: least since the ninety nineties. UM, which is the staunch

139
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: left you know, the staunch left wing element of the

140
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, UM that wants almost the sort of fundamental

141
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: change that that Donald Trump is pushing for from the right,

142
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: they wanted from the left. So we're certainly going to

143
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: see that that UM side of the party and that

144
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: wing of people that very energized and very mobilized and

145
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: demanding certain um demanding certain things from the Democratic Party

146
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,559
Speaker 1: in the platform and from Hillary Clinton in the general

147
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: election campaign. And a lot of it is going to

148
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,119
Speaker 1: depend on, I think what Sanders does, how he uses

149
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: his leverage, how he uses these supporters that are on

150
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: his side, and how he harnesses that energy. Things could

151
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: get out of control. So you have a big story today.

152
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: You talked to some leading Democratic Party leaders, public statements

153
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: and and sort of you know, more behind the scenes. Uh.

154
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: I think when the most interesting ones comes from your

155
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: interview with Senator Tim Keane of Virginia. Now it's true

156
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: he's a Clinton ally, but he's also former chairman of

157
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: the Democratic National Committee. He's not so patient with Bernie

158
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: Sanders pushing on. He is starting to lose his patients,

159
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: as many Democrats are. They don't like the fact that,

160
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: given that it's it's um all but certain at this

161
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: point that Hillary Clinton is going to be the nominee,

162
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: that Bernie Centers continues to fight that, he continues to

163
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: paint Hillary Clinton as the candidate of Wall Street and

164
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: in a big business and kind of, you know, suggest

165
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: that she's corrupted by all these campaign contributions. They don't

166
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: like the fact that one of their own is still

167
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: attacking their presumptive UH and likely nominee. So I think

168
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: Tim Kane was giving voice to what a lot of

169
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: people in the Democratic Party think in terms of arguing

170
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: that now is the time for Bernie Sanders to dial

171
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: back the rhetoric and shift toward a more unifying UH stance.

172
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: So he'll is there an understanding that whoever the Republican

173
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: nominee is, and perhaps it would be Donald Trump, will

174
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: use the actual words and video of Bernie Sanders in

175
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: the national election against Hillary Clinton if she is the nominee. Right, So, firstly,

176
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is the presumptive nominee, he will be the nominee.

177
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: And yes, that is a guarante, that is an absolute certainty.

178
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: That he will use Bernie Sanders words against Hillary Clinton.

179
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: He's already doing it. He's already doing it in tweets

180
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: and social media postings, and frankly, the Hillary Clinton campaign

181
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: is going to do the same thing with Donald Trump.

182
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: A lot of Donald Trump's Republican opponents said some very

183
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: fiercely critical, um, some pretty nasty things about him in

184
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: the primary as well. So you know, this is just

185
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: part of the whole. This is just I guess, part

186
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: of the whole exercise of electoral politics. We'll see that

187
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: happening on both ends. What does this mean for the

188
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: Democratic Party? More brawdly is is Bernie Sanders an outlier

189
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: who disappears after this? A lot of people in your

190
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: story are not happy with the way he's conducted to

191
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: this a point. No, he definitely want to disappear after this. Um,

192
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 1: the question is what kind of figure emerges. So this

193
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: is this is sort of the fork in the road

194
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: that Bernie Sanders has a content with and decide what

195
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: sort of um politician he wants to come out as.

196
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: On the other side, now he has two options as

197
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: I see it. Wanted to continue as the figure he's

198
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: been for the last twenty five years and work within

199
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: the party to achieve reforms. The other is to use

200
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: his grassroots base of supporters as a sword against this

201
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: party and to try to force reforms against their will.

202
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: Very interesting, very exciting, so Hil Kapoor, politics supporter and

203

Speaker 1: producer for Bloomberg News based in Washington, d C. History

204
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: Sanders to find on the stump, quietly reassures Democrats on unity.
