1 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Tech is live from the heart of Silicon Valley 2 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: with Ed Lulow in San Francisco. 3 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Tech coming up. 4 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 3: President Trump posts about a chip agreement between Apple and Intel, 5 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,960 Speaker 3: sending Intel Soaring will have the details. 6 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 2: Plus we speak with. 7 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,639 Speaker 3: The CEO of Anderil after the company wins a production 8 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 3: contract for autonomous fighters with the US Air Force and 9 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 3: SpaceX shares full for a second straight day after a 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 3: forty nine percent jump, still in high orbit as the 11 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 3: company concludes its first full week of trading. Thursday, June eighteenth, 12 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 3: Bloomberg Tech Intel is at a record high after the 13 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 3: President of the United States posted a very long truth 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 3: social which included a reference to an agreement between Intel 15 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 3: and Apple for chip design and chip manufacturing. Simple story. 16 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 3: There is some background to it that Bloomberg News has 17 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 3: reported in the past. It also talked about Nvidia, terror 18 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 3: fab and a lot more. But it's Intel where we 19 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 3: focus and Bloomberg's and King is with us along with 20 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 3: Bloomberg Intelligence Senior analyst man Deep Singh, and we're going 21 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 3: to start with ian an agreement. What do we know? 22 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 3: What do we do not know? 23 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 4: Well, we've previously reported that Apple was exploring using Intel 24 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 4: as a second source for manufacturing some of its chips. 25 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 4: What the president is saying, and you know, we have 26 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 4: to be careful because not everything he says immediately comes true. 27 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 4: That this has actually reached a firmer stage. And if 28 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 4: that's the case, and that's clearly a boost for Intel's 29 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 4: efforts to become a manufacturer for other companies. 30 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 3: Ian really quickly, you reported with Mark and Ryan in 31 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 3: May that Apple was looking at its options. Explain the 32 00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 3: basics of that report. 33 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: That's right right now. 34 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 4: There are Apple is completely dependent upon TSMC right for manufacturing, 35 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 4: so obviously that's a choke point, something that they wish wish, 36 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 4: you know, they would like to have a solution to 37 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 4: have options. So you would look at Samsung and you 38 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 4: would look at Intel as potential backups or potential supplemental manufacturers. 39 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 4: And that's what we understand is going on. Apple has 40 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 4: always been smart about the supply chain. 41 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 3: That's the reporting in the details, let's get the analysis. 42 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 3: Mandy's singing, who leads our technology research team a Bloomberg 43 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 3: Intelligence What are you making of this? Right? Ean outlined 44 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 3: that actually in May there was a sense that Apple 45 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 3: was looking at options but you have the President of 46 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 3: the United States saying there's an agreement. How much can 47 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 3: you model for that the president's statement. 48 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,399 Speaker 5: Look, I mean, there's no doubt that Intel is now 49 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:53,399 Speaker 5: well positioned to be a double digit revenue growth company 50 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 5: given what we have seen so far with the CPU 51 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 5: demand that has taken off with Agent and now you know, 52 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 5: the fab side of things would get a real kicker 53 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 5: for if Apple was to use it for manufacturing. And 54 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 5: you know, when you have one design WRIN, it follows 55 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 5: with you know, multiple companies that want to use your manufacturing, 56 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 5: and that's where it could be very exciting if actually 57 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 5: Apple ends up ramping up in volume. 58 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 3: Here I note that Apple shares are a percentage point. 59 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: Tim Kok this. 60 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 3: Year, the outgoing CEO soon to be executive chairman of Apple, 61 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: game in interview to Wall Street Journal where he said 62 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: they're going to have to raise prices because of the 63 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 3: commodity environment. But what do you interpret here, mandeep on 64 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 3: the Apple side of this story with Intel their ability 65 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: to kind of reindustrialize here in America. 66 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 5: On the chip side, well, look right now, when I 67 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 5: look at TSMC's capacity and video has already prepaid. You 68 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 5: know what one hundred and twenty billion dollars for TSMC capacity. 69 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 5: So even an Apple which used to get proferential treatment 70 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 5: at TSMC, right now, I think they're feeling that Nvidio 71 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 5: probably has a bigger lock in in terms of PSMC 72 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 5: manufacturing capacity. And from an Apple standpoint, I think diversification 73 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 5: and really appeasing the president here makes a ton of sense. 74 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 5: So from that perspective, I think psmc's monopoly is a 75 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 5: problem for a lot of you know, they're big customers, 76 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 5: including Apple, and it makes sense that they're looking to 77 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 5: diversify here. 78 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 3: In finally, to you, there's kind of two parts that 79 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 3: Intel's foundry story. There's the process, the technology process, and 80 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 3: then the sort of solidity of whether they have any customers. 81 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 3: Where are they at with both of those things. 82 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,559 Speaker 4: Right What they've said is that their process is getting 83 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 4: better and better, getting closer to the industry standard, which 84 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 4: would be TSMC yield being very important. They're the amount 85 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 4: of good chips you make for the run. In terms 86 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 4: of customers, they've said, look, we're not going to talk 87 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 4: about it. We're hopeful we've got a couple of big 88 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 4: irons in the fire that might come to fruition in 89 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 4: the second half of this year. But we're not going to. 90 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: Talk about it. We're going to leave it up to them. 91 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 4: We're not going to get ahead of ourselves and. 92 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: So on that. 93 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 3: Now, I point out that neither Intel nor Apple have 94 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 3: commented so far on the president's post Bloomberg Zy and 95 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 3: King and Mandeep seing of a Bloomberg intelligence Thank you 96 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 3: both very much. Let's brought in the conversation beyond chips. 97 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: Then that's that one hundred pushing higher two percent in 98 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 3: the session. We're kind of trading near those records of 99 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 3: recent weeks. 100 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 2: I would say there's a lot going on in the market. 101 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 3: Semiconductors are a big part of the market right now, 102 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: but the Intel story is a catalyst and driver of that. 103 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 3: There is the SpaceX part of this market, and then 104 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 3: there is the role of the retail investors. The AI 105 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 3: trade has been expanding. Investors are looking across software infrastructure, 106 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 3: the next generation of tech leaders for the market's next 107 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 3: growth engine. 108 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 2: Could those be IPOs? So much to discuss. 109 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 3: Ankor Crawford portfolio manager ourgas with us. You know, I 110 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 3: always say this one one session of market does not 111 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 3: make really interesting though. How we're ending this short training 112 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 3: week in the US, with so many factors for you 113 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 3: right now, what is the main driver of psychology for 114 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 3: the technology sector? 115 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 6: Gosh, you know, I think that what I find is 116 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 6: people are finally understanding how significant this AI trade is 117 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 6: going to be, and that's what's getting reflected in some 118 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 6: of the moves that you're seeing. 119 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 2: In the market. 120 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 6: You know, the impact of the shortages of the supply 121 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 6: chain are also becoming very obvious, whether you see what's 122 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 6: happening in memory or the optical supply chain, and so, 123 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 6: you know, I feel like the market is fully understanding 124 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 6: the kind of supply chain implications and the demand implications. 125 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 6: You're going to have a CEO on later who recently 126 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 6: commented that token pricing for him went up to x 127 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 6: in over the last we'd got to x in in 128 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 6: the next six months. Well, that is an indication of 129 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 6: supply demand balance. And you know, clearly we are significantly 130 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 6: we need significantly more tokens and we have significantly more 131 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 6: demand for the intelligence then we have supply. 132 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 3: It's so interesting where like the kind of raw data 133 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,239 Speaker 3: sets or and thotal data sets that the markets tracking 134 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 3: are so different now to what they were. I don't 135 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 3: know you tell me, like as recently as last year 136 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 3: or two years ago, and I. 137 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 2: Want to talk about SpaceX. 138 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 3: You know, how big a factor has that IPO been 139 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 3: for you and your team and how have you sort 140 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 3: of responded to it. 141 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 6: Well, it's not necessarily a factor, but it's clearly an 142 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 6: incredibly significant company that has a very open ended story 143 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 6: alongside with it. We've never really seen a business like 144 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 6: SpaceX before in our careers, would I would argue there, 145 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 6: you know, humanity hasn't seen a business like SpaceX. So 146 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 6: you know, we have found a significant place in our 147 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 6: port on our portfolios for SpaceX, in part because we 148 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 6: do see incredible appreciation as we look out three and 149 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 6: five years now. The day to day trading on it 150 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 6: is you know, who knows. There's a lot of things 151 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 6: that affect that day to day trading, but we are 152 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 6: very bullish on its prospects. 153 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 3: The retail investors tied a big role head we spites 154 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 3: cheld SWEBC. 155 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: Let's get his take. 156 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 7: As a breakthrough event, I think for the retail investor 157 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 7: who is allocated roughly twenty percent of the deal, which 158 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 7: is triple a typical IPO. So it's great to see 159 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 7: retail having a meaningful seat at the table. It created 160 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 7: a tremendous engagement with our clients and broadly with retail clients. 161 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 7: Demand was off the charts, and that demand continues. We've 162 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 7: seen in the three days following the IPO nearly seven 163 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,479 Speaker 7: billion dollars of additional orders come from our clients. 164 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 2: Child schwebc West. 165 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 3: Is it the retail traded driving trading right now? 166 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 6: I'm not really sure what's driving it. I think that 167 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 6: there's a lot of different aspects that. 168 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 3: Appreciate the honesty. I don't think anyone knows anger was 169 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 3: driving it. 170 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 6: Oh, we shouldn't make it up then, and so I 171 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 6: don't know. All I can say is that sometimes the 172 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 6: market kind of thinks about the next day or the 173 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 6: next week, and for something like SpaceX, I think what 174 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 6: you have to do is look at the long arc 175 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 6: of time to understand what they are doing and the 176 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 6: significant mote that they have created with you know, Starship, 177 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 6: and the reusability of Starship when that comes to fruition, 178 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 6: and the different business models that will get unleashed. And 179 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 6: it is incredibly exciting to see this company now be 180 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 6: accessible to not only retail but also institutional investors like us, 181 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 6: and how. 182 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 3: Do you assess the role the on the rights has 183 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 3: played in it in getting the story of the perspectives 184 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 3: across to the valuation and economics of this company. 185 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 6: I think they did a fantastic job. I don't think 186 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 6: it could have gone any better. And you look at 187 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 6: just how you know they made the management available. There 188 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 6: were several different you know, kind of knowledge knowledge of 189 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 6: zooms and that that investors could could get on and 190 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 6: to understand the story more completely. That they priced it 191 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 6: correctly so that you know they were leaving some economics 192 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 6: on the table for what its true value will be. 193 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 6: So I actually think they did the most beautiful job 194 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 6: on this IPO, and it was a tricky one because 195 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 6: of the valuation kind of the perception. There was a 196 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 6: very divided, I think opinion on SpaceX. There's some that 197 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 6: love it, some that hate it. Retail was a bit skittish, 198 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 6: it felt like to me, at least through the conversations 199 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 6: that I had. But so I think they actually, Donder 200 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 6: writers did a beautiful job on this. I hope they 201 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 6: repeat it with the upcoming IPOs of opening Anthropic. 202 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 3: Really appreciate it and we're going to have that conversation 203 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 3: about anthropic and open AI Later in the program, Anka 204 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 3: Crawford of ALGIA back on Bloomberg Tech, Thank you very much. 205 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 3: Big news crossing the Bloomberg terminal. Amazon is in talks 206 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 3: to sell its custom made AI chips for use in 207 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 3: other companies data centers, trying to cut into invidious dominance. 208 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 3: This is based on an interview in Paris with Amazon's 209 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 3: AI chief, who said the company has begun discussions with 210 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 3: potential customers but declined to name them. We're talking about 211 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 3: Peter DeSantis here. He said he views AI infrastructure as 212 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 3: rapidly evolving. In the stock hitting session highs on that 213 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 3: Bloomberg report. 214 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 2: Coming up. 215 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 3: Andreil just won a production contract for autonomous fighters with 216 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 3: the US Air Force as the Pentagon pushes for a 217 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 3: fleet of up to one thousand autonomous combat jets. We're 218 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 3: going to be speaking with Andreil's CEO, Brian Ship. 219 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: That's next. This is Boomberg Tech. 220 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 3: Andreil is having a major week. The defense tech startup 221 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 3: just on a production contract for autonomous fighters with US 222 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 3: Air Force, secured a key role in the race to 223 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 3: provide software for those aircraft and is moving towards scale manufacturing. 224 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 3: Is the Pentagon pushes for a fleet of up to 225 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 3: one thousand autonomous combat jets. All of that comes as 226 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 3: defense stocks and military technology remain in focus amid the 227 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: fallout from the US around conflict and what is a 228 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 3: fragile new diplomatic agreement joining US now live on Bloomberg 229 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 3: Tech and Real CEO Brian Schimp. You know, I think 230 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 3: Andreil's in this place, and it's in its evolution of 231 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 3: life cycle where you're trying to manage winning new contracts 232 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 3: and put out new technology and ramp what's already out there. 233 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 3: Just talk about those that trio of news you put 234 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 3: out and how you pulled it off. 235 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 8: So you know, we were extremely excited to be awarded 236 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 8: this production contract for the Air Force Loyal wing Man 237 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 8: fighter jet. 238 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 2: And you know this. 239 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 8: Is really about taking it from prototype technology which we've 240 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 8: been validating, we've been flying multiple times a day into 241 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 8: now an operational capability. So this is both the hardware 242 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 8: side where we've already started to produce these out of 243 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 8: our facility in Ohio, our Arsenal one facility, and we 244 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 8: are now confirmed to move this into a production aircraft, right, 245 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 8: so really start to ramp this next year. So it's 246 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 8: super exciting, but that challenge is real, right, and we 247 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 8: know the defense industry has had struggles ramping production to 248 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 8: the demand we're seeing around the world. But this is 249 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 8: something we've systematically invested in and everything we're showing is 250 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 8: that we're hitting every ramp that we've promised to hit. 251 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 3: There's like the established systems fury and there is the 252 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 3: next phase of product and contract. How difficult a decision 253 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 3: is it to a US sign resource to know where 254 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 3: to put teams and capital right now? 255 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 8: You know, we're we're seeing demand through the roof across 256 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 8: the board, right, and this is everything from weapons programs, 257 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 8: aircraft programs, you name it. We're seeing just a massively 258 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 8: increased demand across the board. But we've been able to 259 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 8: scale incredibly well. Right, We've doubled headcount every year. You know, 260 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 8: we are continuing to be able to resource these successfully, right, 261 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 8: and I think we're just an incredibly attractive place to work. 262 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 8: So for us, the challenge isn't really you know, where 263 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 8: do we put resources, it's just you know, running through 264 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 8: it as fast as we can, which we've demonstrated the 265 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 8: ability to do year over year for you know, the 266 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 8: past near decade now, so that part we're not as 267 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 8: concerned with. But you know, I think a huge credit 268 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 8: to the Air Force on this. You know, they have 269 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 8: decided to move out and I think the fastest fighter 270 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 8: jet programs in the nineteen fifties, like this is just 271 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 8: an immensely fast pace and I think it shows that 272 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 8: the government can move when it wants to and then 273 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 8: is can respond to that pace. And it's just an 274 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 8: incredibly exciting time to be able to deliver these capabilities. 275 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 3: How to winsle this translate to the to the revenue 276 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 3: run rate? You know that that big announcements, big deals, 277 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 3: but for the financials of this company, it's immediate or 278 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 3: it's a distant opportunity. 279 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 8: These types of programs give you know, just this amazing 280 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 8: base of growth for the next you know, five years, right, 281 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 8: And so this is about how do we lock in 282 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 8: that growth and success we've seen to date into something 283 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 8: that's going to be producing and delivering for the next decade. 284 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 2: And that's something. 285 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 8: That I think really you know, when we look at 286 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 8: the financials for the out years, when we stack in 287 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 8: all the types of big programs that we're working on now, 288 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 8: it more or less gives US an extremely solid base 289 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 8: that we're going to continue to grow on and compound 290 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 8: on in the future. You know, Brian, I appreciate this 291 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 8: is about autonomous fighters. Every time you come on the program, 292 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 8: I get a flood of request to ask you about 293 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 8: subterranean and actually I get. 294 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 3: The sense that you don't. It's not even that exciting 295 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 3: to you, guys. So what are the next domains, the 296 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 3: next big bets that you probably can't talk as much about, 297 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 3: but everyone wants me to ask you about. 298 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 8: Yeah, we're doing, you know, an immense amount of work 299 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 8: in space. You know, there's a huge number of areas 300 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 8: where you know, this is becoming the next generation warfighting domain. 301 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 8: I think the Space Force is talking a lot more 302 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 8: about the adversarial activities that Russia and China are doing regularly. 303 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 8: You know, they are constantly maneuvering around space, threatening the 304 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 8: US's and Allied satellites. And I think there was an 305 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 8: open source report of Russia maneuvering against the satellite that's 306 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 8: a commercial SATELLITEES used to provide intelligence to the Ukrainians. 307 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 8: So this is an area that's you know, an active 308 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 8: growth area that is incredibly important for the US to 309 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 8: have leadership in and deter the adversarial activities that you know, 310 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 8: our adversaries are doing every day. The other area we're 311 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 8: just seeing an immense amount of growth in is on 312 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 8: the weapon side. 313 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 2: You know, you can read all the reports. 314 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 8: Everyone is well aware now of what's been sort of 315 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 8: a poorly kept secret for a long time, which is 316 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 8: the US has amazing weapons, right like that, that's been 317 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 8: obviously true. But the inability to produce these at scale 318 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 8: to supply our allies, the huge delays that exist in 319 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 8: delivering these is a major strategic issue for the US 320 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 8: and our allies. And so that is translated, you know, 321 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 8: out of the conflict in Iran into you know, an 322 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 8: immense amount of demand to bring build up next generation 323 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 8: weapons capabilities that can be produced at scale. 324 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 3: So looking at the Irong conflict, but you know, what 325 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 3: is the lesson that you think is learned here for 326 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 3: the Pentagon on these types of technologies and war preparedness. 327 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, so I think, you know, there's a lot of 328 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 8: different lessons you can take away, but one of the 329 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 8: biggest ones was really you know, when you look at 330 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 8: the number of strikes, the number of ammunitions consumed in 331 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 8: the first thirty days of the conflict, it was something 332 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 8: around ten times the amount we consumed in the entirety 333 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 8: of the Gulf War. Right, and we're shooting, you know, 334 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 8: nearly a decade of tomahawk production in a week. Like 335 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 8: these are really serious quantities of munitions consumed in these 336 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 8: modern conflicts, and it parallels what you know has been 337 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 8: seen in every conflict that's played out in the last 338 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 8: several years. You know, particularly as you look at Ukraine, 339 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 8: where the amount of munitions consumed is staggering. 340 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 2: So I think this question of how do. 341 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 8: You actually get the inventory the stockpiles and have the 342 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 8: producibility that you need, that becomes one of the critical questions. 343 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 8: And you know, the US again its amazing weapons, but 344 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 8: for the vast majority of scenarios you can you can 345 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 8: deal with things that are sort of lower price and 346 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 8: more fit for purpose and the types of you know, 347 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 8: uses you're realistically going to have and what you need 348 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 8: to convey to your adversaries you have the resiliency to do. 349 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 8: And so that that is probably the biggest shift I've 350 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 8: seen out of this conflict, which is really looking at 351 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 8: and excite tolerating how to get to more producible capabilities quickly. 352 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 8: And you know we've got you know, maybe a half 353 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 8: dozen or more different programs that have initiated out of. 354 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 3: That, Brian, we just have thirty seconds. You've said Arsenal 355 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 3: two could be built outside of the United States. Big 356 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 3: market for you is Australia. Taiwan is a big factor 357 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 3: in Anderal's guiding mission. Are those realistic locations. 358 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we we have. 359 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 8: I think the reality in the world is that our 360 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 8: allies are going to look to have more control over 361 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 8: the production and supply of weapons. I think that's correct, 362 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 8: and I think production capacity for the Allied nations is 363 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 8: a contribution in and of itself, and so I think 364 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 8: for the administration they want the Allies to be prepared 365 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 8: to contribute. So the idea that they are also producing 366 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 8: and contributing to the Allied stockpiles is hugely advantageous. I 367 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 8: think that's been a very consistent message from the administrations. 368 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 8: We've seen immense support for that. You know where we 369 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,479 Speaker 8: put it exactly. You know, we have a factory up 370 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 8: and running in Sydney, Australia making ghost Shark, and then 371 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 8: we're constantly evaluating the right way to help any given 372 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 8: country on what they need, how they want us to 373 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 8: work with their local partners in industry, and so it's 374 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 8: a very nuanced process. But the reality is we think 375 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 8: of allied production as a critical dimension of providing that 376 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 8: deterrence that we're here to. 377 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 3: Do andreal CEO Brian Shim Microsoft is cashing in on China. 378 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 3: Unlike its competitors, the AI cloud maker is selling it's 379 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 3: Azure cloud models to Chinese tech companies including TikTok Parent 380 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 3: bike Dance, which is on track to spend a billion 381 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 3: as Microsoft's top client blue most Matt Day has more. 382 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 3: So there's the idea that this is a typical right 383 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 3: doing business in China full stop. 384 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 2: But in the AI domain, what. 385 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 3: Are the models that the Microsoft is able to sell 386 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 3: into that market? 387 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 9: So Microsoft, because of its long standing partnership with Opening I, 388 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 9: has some unique ability to sell products in the term 389 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 9: of the terms under which it sells products. 390 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 2: We understand that there's been. 391 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 9: Some friction between Microsoft and Open Eye over Microsoft sales 392 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 9: in China, but they can they can list some of 393 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 9: their biggest models. 394 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 3: Is this big business for Microsoft, Matt Like we said, 395 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 3: a billion dollars potentially, But where does that stack up 396 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 3: against the rest of its revenues. 397 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 9: A big number, but not hugely significant to Microsoft at 398 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 9: a global scale. You know, they said China accounts for 399 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 9: something like a percent and a half of their revenue, 400 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 9: so not super significant. But you know the company is 401 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 9: internally talking about, you know, Microsoft being the only place 402 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 9: where you can get top model companies on the US 403 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 9: West Coast and the Chinese East coast, so they think 404 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 9: it's a big deal internally. 405 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 3: So this is according to our reporting and sourcing. Other 406 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 3: Chinese tech companies are are in the mix here. But 407 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 3: what have the companies said about it officially? 408 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 9: So they haven't said much. They have said all these 409 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 9: companies developed their own models. I think the lesson here is, 410 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 9: you know, companies tend to use just about everything. Folks 411 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 9: are developing their own models if they have the scale 412 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 9: and also accessing you know, whatever they can. And in 413 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 9: the case of someone Microsoft's customers, you know in China 414 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 9: they're tapping into models served from from Singapore or other 415 00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 9: cloud regions. 416 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 3: Mean most about day, very important report, Thank you very much. 417 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 3: The big technology story out there today is Intel and Apple. 418 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 3: The President of the United States saying on truth Social 419 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 3: there's an agreement between the two for Apple to work 420 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 3: with Intel on domestic chip manufacturing here in the US. 421 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 3: Neither company has commented that Intel shares trading now at 422 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 3: a fresh record high. Apple was actually paired most of 423 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 3: its advance, so four tenths of a present had been 424 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 3: up one and a half percent. Would also note that 425 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 3: Apple's current CEO seem to. 426 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 2: Be executive chair. 427 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 3: Tim Cook, gave an interview to The Wall Street Journal 428 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 3: last night saying that Apple have to raise prices because 429 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 3: of where commodities memory is at right now. Maybe that's 430 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 3: a factor. 431 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 2: Not clear. 432 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 3: We'll continue tracking the stories. There's a bigger story in 433 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 3: technology and markets. For years, one of the most reliable 434 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 3: fuels for the massive big tech rally was steady share buybacks. 435 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 3: The AI race is proving so expensive that repurchase programs 436 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,959 Speaker 3: are kind of evaporating. Michael Raine joins US from New 437 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 3: York to explain this shift, and like there's two parts 438 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,880 Speaker 3: of it. It's like capex is, you know, is expensive, 439 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 3: impacts the shared buyback program, but also like loads of 440 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 3: companies are issuing new equity, new stock. 441 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 2: Explain it all. 442 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 10: Yeah, Yeah, It's really just an amazing paradigm shift for 443 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 10: these stocks. You know, when you think about it, Alphabet 444 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 10: Google alone over the previous five years had bought back 445 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 10: something like two hundred and eighty billion dollars in their 446 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 10: own stock. Now they're going the opposite direction, planning to 447 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 10: sell about eighty five billion worth of shares to help 448 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 10: fund this capex. And I really, you know, it is 449 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 10: fascinating because these buybacks were really a driver of the 450 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 10: market for a long time. But it really kind of 451 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 10: exposes the notion that, yes, shareholders investors are happy when 452 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 10: they hear about buybacks. They're happy to have a new 453 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 10: buyer of the stock and shrink that share count and 454 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 10: boost EPs. But at the same time, it really does 455 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 10: signal that maybe these companies didn't have something better to 456 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 10: spend this money on. Now they do as far as 457 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 10: building out all this spending all this capex to build 458 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 10: out the data centers, and investors, you know, for now 459 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 10: are happy that there's a better plan for all this 460 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 10: cash that they generate. You know, time will tell if 461 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 10: that stands the test of time and these investments prove 462 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 10: to be positive returns on investments, But for now, you know, 463 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 10: the market's happy with it. Obviously, the chip maker stocks 464 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 10: are thrilled about it, and we're really just you know, 465 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 10: in all of a major paradigm shift in how these 466 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 10: companies manage their stock. 467 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 3: Float, invokes Michael Reagan, Thank you very much. Indeed, following 468 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 3: the blockbuster to public debuy of SpaceX, investors are welcoming 469 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 3: a massive distribution event that is pumping fresh liquidity back 470 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 3: into private markets like the vcs needed that big i PO. 471 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 3: It comes to a critical inflection point as a historic 472 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 3: wave of multi billion dollar AI model companies prepare pertend 473 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 3: to cross that IPO threshold. 474 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 2: Joining us now is matt. 475 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 3: Wick Tyler, head of Late stage Growth at Wellington Management. 476 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 3: What a time to be you and on your desk? 477 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 3: Should we start with SpaceX? You know, to so many 478 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 3: participants in this market, it presages this great IPO year. 479 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 2: Is that what you expect? 480 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 3: I think that's exactly right. 481 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 11: If you rewind the clock and you look back to 482 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 11: just March of this year, when I was last here 483 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 11: with you, we were talking about the fact that the 484 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 11: first of the big ones to go out will be SpaceX, 485 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 11: and that this year's activity will be driven by the 486 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 11: megacap private companies that are now going public. 487 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 2: And we had that in SpaceX. 488 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 11: And again, if you rewind the clock and we think 489 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 11: about the conversation you and I had back in March. 490 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 11: We were talking about the fact that we believed I 491 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,239 Speaker 11: believe that SpaceX would perform well. And I think we're 492 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 11: sitting here today, not quite a week into their trading, saying, oh, 493 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 11: SpaceX is performing as expected. 494 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 3: Mister Reagan just raised really interesting points, which is like, 495 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 3: it's not just IPOs. Generally, this market could be flooded 496 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 3: with equity. It's not universal that it's a good time 497 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 3: to go public. I spoke to Ali Godsey, the Data 498 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 3: Bricks CEO, very recently. 499 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 4: His his take three mega IPOs that have been rumored. 500 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 3: One of them happened, you know, So letting those kind 501 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 3: of go through the system and see how that sort. 502 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 9: Of plays out and things stabilize a little bit. 503 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 2: I stand by what I said. 504 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 12: I think for most other companies, you know, it's probably 505 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 12: way best to wait it out. 506 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 3: You know, I think Wellington's on the cap table of 507 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 3: Data Bricks, right, But that's one view, right, There's so 508 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 3: much will happen that Data Bricks might not for that reason. 509 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 11: Yeah, there's a lot in the pipe, there's a lot 510 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 11: coming down but I think what the precipice tipping point 511 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 11: will be for the next batch of companies will be 512 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 11: how these first three, the three mega ones that we 513 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 11: talk about, how they perform, and I believe the subsequent 514 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 11: two that are coming will likely perform very similar to Space, 515 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 11: which is with a lot of enthusiasm not just from 516 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 11: retail investors but also from institutional investors. And I think 517 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 11: that is the setup that the next batch of companies, 518 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 11: maybe a Data Bricks as an example, would be looking 519 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 11: for before they decide to come to the market, just purely. 520 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 2: As case studies. 521 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 3: You know, if anthropic and open AI goes go next, 522 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 3: that what they've said in their limited ability to speak publicly, 523 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 3: is and IPOs the only mechanism to raise capital at 524 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:31,239 Speaker 3: the levels they need. Find that really confusing because you know, 525 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 3: they both did such ginormous private rounds so recently. The 526 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 3: private market seems very willing to support that growth. 527 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 11: The private market is there's just not sufficient capital to 528 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 11: support the capital intensity as we're just hearing about of 529 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 11: these model companies in perpetuity, and the private markets do 530 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 11: not offer enough liquidity for the investors in these businesses 531 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 11: to ultimately get liquid without ultimately going public. And to 532 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 11: put that in kind of understandable terms, the private market 533 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 11: transacts in a full year what the public market transacts 534 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 11: in a week, and so the volume of liquidity available 535 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 11: to public market companies is dramatically different to what's available 536 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 11: on the private side. 537 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 3: How much are private market investors in these leading frontier 538 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 3: labs now needing to model for and take into account 539 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 3: political risks? I'm talking, of course about the administration's intervention 540 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 3: in certain use of technology, but it's not just the US, right, 541 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 3: We're talking about jurisdictions. 542 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 2: Like the EU. 543 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 11: I think that it is a factor that people are 544 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,719 Speaker 11: now starting to incorporate in their thinking for how some 545 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 11: of these technologies will evolve. And I think it's a 546 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 11: big open question mark as to what the future of 547 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 11: the model builders as an example, looks like with respect 548 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 11: to regulatory action. But what I do feel confident is 549 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 11: I do feel confident that it is in everybody's interests, 550 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 11: the model builders themselves as well as the governments to 551 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 11: support and ultimately enable this, because if we if the 552 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 11: United States or China or the governmental agencies are not 553 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 11: promoting this, we will be left behind and we will 554 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 11: give up the advantages that are accruing to the top 555 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 11: builders today. So I think it will resolve. It's a 556 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 11: question of how it resolves. 557 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 5: Matt. 558 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 3: I'd really appreciate your insight here, even if the answer 559 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 3: is no. How closely did you read the SpaceX prospectus, 560 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 3: the story they were trying to tell, and then extrapolate 561 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 3: out to how that might apply to everyone else? Open 562 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 3: AI and throp at data Bricks, you know, it was 563 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 3: so interesting to see their term numbers and how they 564 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 3: see the world in the very distant future. 565 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 11: I would say that SpaceX is unique, and SpaceX is 566 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 11: unique because Elon Musk is unique. And so when I 567 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 11: think about the SpaceX story and I think about the 568 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 11: market cap that SpaceX is currently trading at, I think 569 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 11: people are willing to for Elon. Say I believe in 570 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 11: your vision of the future, and I believe you Elon 571 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 11: can deliver on that vision. And I would say that 572 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 11: it is a relatively unique place in the market. There 573 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 11: are not many other entrepreneurs or CEOs I can think 574 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 11: of who could go out and tell a story that's 575 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 11: five ten years out in the future and get credit 576 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 11: for that story today. 577 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 3: So I think when you think. 578 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 11: About the model builders going out as the next generation 579 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 11: or the next IPO candidates. I think those companies will 580 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 11: more likely trade on fundamentals than maybe where SpaceX is 581 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 11: trading today, which is again a little bit of the 582 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 11: Elon magic dust around ability to convince the world that 583 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 11: he will be the person who gets us into the future. 584 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 3: Let's talk about that in the future then when you 585 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 3: come back trading on the numbers, not the names. If 586 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 3: those AI companies go public, mattwi Hiler ahead of late 587 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 3: stage growth at Wellington, thank you so much. Now coming up, 588 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 3: as the AI ratshifts from model to infrastructure rumbles, vetting 589 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 3: big on compute, Rumble, Yes, that's right, CEO Chris Polowski 590 00:30:55,320 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 3: joins us. Next, this is Bloomberg Tech. The story's still here. 591 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 3: The AI boom is fueling an intense race for the 592 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 3: infrastructure behind it. Rumble, best known as a video sharing 593 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 3: and cloud services platform, is looking to capitalize on that 594 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 3: trend through its acquisition of Northern Data and the launch 595 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 3: of Quake Ai, a new platform combining cloud compute and 596 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 3: AI infrastructure. Joining us now is Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski. 597 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 3: There is a lot here, let's unpack it all. So 598 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 3: the company is going to change its legal name to 599 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 3: rum Group. This is based on the close of the 600 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 3: acquisition of Northern Data. Let's go back to the genesis 601 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 3: of the idea, why you did this, what the opportunity was. 602 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 13: Well in twenty thirteen, but it wasn't twenty twenty one 603 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 13: where we took on our first investment, and that was 604 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 13: I guess around March April of twenty twenty one. In 605 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 13: the idea was that we had to build our own infrastructure, 606 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 13: and we did that over the last four to five years. 607 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 13: We built our entire infrastructure for Rumble to sit on. 608 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 13: And with all that being said, we have all this 609 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 13: excess capacity for the video platform. So it was actually 610 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 13: in twenty twenty one when we went public as a 611 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 13: spac under ticker rum that we said that we had 612 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 13: three core pillars to the business. One was going to 613 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 13: be the advertising platform, one was going to be the 614 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 13: video platform, and one was going to be infrastructure as 615 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 13: a service. 616 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 2: And it is. 617 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 13: Now at this point in time where we launched Rumble 618 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 13: Cloud back in twenty twenty four. Now with the acquisition 619 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 13: in Northern Data, we really kind of put a jet 620 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 13: pack on that infrastructure as a service business and We're 621 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 13: ready to take on the world on cloud with Quake AI. 622 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 2: So that's kind of been the genesis of what we've done. 623 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 13: It's going to be our largest business unit going forward, 624 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 13: the cloud side. 625 00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 2: So we're really excited to. 626 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 13: Step on the gas on the AI compute as a 627 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 13: service and all the other services that we offer. 628 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 2: Can we expand on that a little bit? 629 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 3: So there's two cool businesses right The video platform that 630 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 3: we know is Rumble and then quake Aid instru Space 631 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 3: And you just said that that will be the larger part. 632 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 3: How has the kind of growth trajectory changed here? Why 633 00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 3: is it that it is the bigger part? And what 634 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 3: does the outlook look like? 635 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 2: Yeah? 636 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 13: So actually Northern Data just released a couple of days 637 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 13: ago that they increased their outlook to one hundred and 638 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 13: seventy to one hundred and ninety million euros for twenty 639 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 13: for the full year this year. 640 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 2: So that's that's increased. 641 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 13: But when you add on top the video platform, you 642 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 13: add on top the deal that we just announced a 643 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 13: couple of weeks ago with together Ai, and then you 644 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 13: add on top increased outlook with Northern Data, it starts 645 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 13: to look fundamentally much different than it looked in the 646 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 13: last couple of years. 647 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 2: Mind you, we have grown quite a bit. 648 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 13: It was in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two 649 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 13: were like sub ten million of revenue, So we did. 650 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,399 Speaker 13: We posted over one hundred million in the last year. 651 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 13: And now when you add all these assets together, and 652 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 13: you add everything that we put together, it's going to 653 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 13: be fundamentally a money from business going forward here in 654 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 13: twenty six and the rest of twenty six and twenty 655 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 13: seven and beyond. 656 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 3: You said in the statement that you'll give further details 657 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 3: about products and then also how you brand this. But 658 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 3: what can you say about like different business lines. I 659 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 3: get Quaki's infrastructure, but what areas are going to be 660 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 3: new for you? What is it that you're going to 661 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 3: be able to sell other than the big cluster of 662 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 3: h two hundreds that you've got. 663 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:41,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, so we have that big cluster. 664 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,920 Speaker 13: But what's really exciting for me is the unmonetized properties 665 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 13: that we have. We have one hundred and eighty megawatts 666 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 13: in just outside of Atlanta, Georgia that is completely unmonetized. 667 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 13: Right now, we have over two hundred megawatts of unmonetized 668 00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 13: assets that we're looking to monetize as fast as possible. 669 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 13: So our first goal is to get these things monetized. 670 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 13: And as you as you know, like the latest generationships 671 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 13: out there, you're seeing companies make roughly ten million annually 672 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,399 Speaker 13: on omegawatts. So the fact that we have over two 673 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 13: hundred megawatts of unmonetized assets, that's something that we want 674 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 13: to jump all over as fast as possible and get 675 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 13: those monetized. 676 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 2: In twenty seven and twenty eight. 677 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 3: Just note that the stocks kind of pushed a little 678 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 3: higher again, about four percent during the course of our conversation. 679 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 3: Chris Pavlovsky Rumble, I really appreciate you being on the show. 680 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 3: Thank you so much. A year ago, President Trump's eldest 681 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 3: son stood in Trump Tower and introduced the T One, 682 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 3: a gold colored US made smartphone from Trump Mobile. The 683 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 3: device is finally out and maybe not living up to 684 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 3: all its promises. 685 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 2: Bloombergs. 686 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 3: Dane Wolman, our consumer tech editor, joins us in the team, 687 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 3: as we can see in the video, has had its 688 00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 3: hands on the T one. 689 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 2: Main takeaways please. 690 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 12: Yes, so the phone is out, it's real, does not 691 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 12: quite live up to the pitch for what it's worth, 692 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 12: not exactly gold mustard colored and we think really not 693 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 12: made in the US. Other sites have done teardowns of 694 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 12: the device and it appears to be an exact match 695 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 12: for an HTC device that's the Taiwanese brand, a certain 696 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,359 Speaker 12: model that came out about two years ago, and it's 697 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:30,280 Speaker 12: a serviceable phone. It's a mid priced, mid range Android phone, 698 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 12: and in some ways the specs are actually quite decent. 699 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,360 Speaker 12: In some ways, not the camera. Camera performance in particular lags, 700 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 12: but there are better options at this price range. And 701 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 12: worth noting that the software support is one of the 702 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 12: biggest just areas of uncertainty. It chips with Android fifteen 703 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 12: and most Android phone makers are already on Android sixteen. 704 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 12: This week, Android seventeen started rolling out to certain devices, 705 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 12: So that's actually one of the biggest points in the 706 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 12: review is if you're going to just now buy a 707 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 12: new device that you might be holding in your hands 708 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 12: using for a few years, don't you want the security 709 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 12: of the assurance of a having the most recent, up 710 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 12: to date software and knowing that it will continuously be 711 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 12: updated while you own the device. 712 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,280 Speaker 3: Bloomberg's tech editor Dana Wolman, thank you so much.

The NBA has been taking a 783 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: beating in previous years in terms of the conversations about 784 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,320 Speaker 1: TV ratings. Everyone's been saying, oh, you know, the league 785 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: is down, the league is down. Well, the Knicks played 786 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: the San Antonio Spurs, they beat them in five, and 787 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: the ratings were up. So they were up so high 788 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,760 Speaker 1: that they were on par with some of Michael Jordan's 789 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 1: numbers in terms of excuse me, not quite as as 790 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's numbers, just. 791 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:14,839 Speaker 2: Right below it. 792 00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: And so when you think about that, for the the 793 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 1: NBA is elated. 794 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson is elated. 795 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:21,239 Speaker 1: They're going to be here right behind me at City 796 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 1: Hall giving all their speeches and that's going to be 797 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: a wrap on the NBA season.
