1
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm Caroline Higher Bloomberg's world headquarters in New York, and

2
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: i'md Ludlow in San Francisco. This is Bloomberg Technology. Well.

3
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: Biger's return as Disney CEO comes as the company deals

4
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: with challenges both internal and external. Ahead the biggest priorities

5
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: for the comeback King of Content and Genesis is warning

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: of a bankruptcy without new funding. As coin base hits

7
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: a record low, the entire industry faces a liquidity crunch,

8
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: and we've learned US prosecutors opened a probe of FTX

9
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: months before its collapse. Plus will break down how tech

10
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: layoffs create a wave of issues for non US citizens

11
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: that worked for Silicon Valley giants. But first and foremost,

12
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: let's get to the breaking news. As Bloomberg is reporting

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: the digital asset brokerage, as you just said, the Genesis

14
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: struggling to raise fresh cash for a lending unit and

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: it's potential investors that it may we say, may need

16
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: to fall for bankruptcy if it's efforts fail. So according

17
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: to sources, and say best I can said, because she

18
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: was indeed one of the byelines on the story. One

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: of the key reporters, and Shally told us thus fall

20
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: Genesis coming back and saying, look, this is an imminent

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: but they have been trying to raise funds for some

22
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: while now right, they have been trying to raise funds

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: four days. Remember they had halt and withdrawals at the

24
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: lending unit just last week, in the middle of last week,

25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: and since then they have been in talks with investors,

26
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: including now we're reporting finance now. Funding has so far

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: failed to materialize, and they've been warning a group of

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: investors that they may need to file for bankruptcy, certainly

29
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: at lending unit, if those talks do not materialize into

30
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: funding now. Remember Genesis is a huge player in the

31
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: institutional space. Their trading desk has separately reported an exposure

32
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: to f t X. But we are now starting to

33
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: see more effects of what has happened here that you

34
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: could argue was contagion that started back to three arrows,

35
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: let alone current A. When it comes to the ft

36
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: x A vocals SINALI. What's happening behind the scenes? How

37
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: much cash do the Genesis think they need? Is this

38
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 1: happened in the last twenty four hours, in the last

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: two weeks? What's happening behind closed doors? Days? Remember they

40
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: halted withdrawals in the middle of last week, let's say Wednesday,

41
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: and then they had over the days after that starting

42
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: to look for money. With the way that my sources

43
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: describe what was happening was that a lot of these

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: talks really amplified into the weekend. H And again remember

45
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: that this is still they have not filed yet. They're

46
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: not said that they're going to file yet. They have

47
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: told us on the record, by the way, that they

48
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: don't have plans to file imminently, and their goal is

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: to resolve the current situation consensually without the need for

50
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: bankruptcy filing. But as we know that this is still

51
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: a huge risk. Now remember there are benefits to bankruptcy

52
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 1: as well. It would contain a situation here and remember

53
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: this is part of the broader Digital currency Group empire,

54
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: where we do not have indications that this is a

55
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: broader problem when you look at this empire that was

56
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: built by Barry Silberg. So I think that as very

57
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: important part of this story here which assets within that

58
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 1: empire we are talking about, and how far that contagion

59
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: can potentially go as we as we plan for a

60
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: potential bankruptcy for this unit. Yeah, just talked to us

61
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 1: a little bit about Digital Currency Group as well, and

62
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: the efforts that will already be made by Barry Silbert

63
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: too will propop that in time DISR group because thus

64
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 1: far it has been noted that money has been to

65
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: put that to ensure that suddenly post Three Arrows the

66
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: implications weren't too destructive. It's an important question. Remember after

67
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: Three Arrows, a part of the empire here was said

68
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: to have been a creditor to the Three Arrows Group.

69
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: So why is that so important today? Because as investors

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: look at this asset, to the point that you are

71
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: getting at here is that they do want to untangle

72
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 1: the relationship between Genesis Lending, Genesis Trading, and the rest

73
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: of Digital Currency Group. Now, remember the rest of the

74
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: empire is super important to the crypto space that includes

75
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: a GBTC, the Gray Scale Bitcoin Trust, Great Scale as

76
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: a company. But right now, what we do know and

77
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: I would say I work about tune us over at

78
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: the Bloomberg Intelligence has been brilliant at pointing this out.

79
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: The company itself spits off a lot of money based

80
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: on what they are getting in terms of managing the

81
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: assets for the Great Scale bus Coin Trust. So That's

82
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: why again it's so important here to say what is

83
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: revenue generating, what is still okay today and what parts

84
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: of the business here are we more concerned about. But

85
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: then importantly for investors, what is the relationship between all

86
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: the entities at the end of the day. All right,

87
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: bloombergs Shinali Bassek, thank you. Let's tend now to Disney

88
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: after the bombshell announcement that Bob iger is coming back

89
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: to the company Rosco, that is CEO and co founder

90
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: of Gerba Kawasaki, two billion dollars in assets under management,

91
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: and importantly Caroline a Disney shareholder. So ross your reaction.

92
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: I was so happy when I saw the news last night.

93
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: I thought I was dreaming and and it was like

94
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: my dream came true. Bob Japeck had been running the

95
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: business into the ground and had made some crucial errors

96
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: in handling some very difficult situations. But it's time to

97
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: really refocus the business back on creating great content for

98
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: a reasonable cast. Okay, So ross in terms of your

99
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: prioritization here, and I want to bring to our audience

100
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: a poll that we went to Twitter with. I know

101
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: you're a big player on Twitter with hundreds of thousands

102
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: of followers, But we've been shining a light on what

103
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: they think the prioritization should be. Now, is it the

104
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: cost controls? Is it more thinking about content the streaming

105
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: perspective at the moment? Is it ross? Actually? Of course,

106
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: what is the internal management of this business because Bob

107
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: Chapeck himself had made some well, very criticized decision making

108
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: when it came to the politics within Florida and what

109
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: the company stands for. From your perspective, streaming strategy is

110
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: number one for our audience right here, right now. Is

111
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: it number one for you? Yeah? For sure. I mean

112
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: the streaming business that they've built over the last several

113
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: years is amazing, and it was really led by Igor

114
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: at the beginning to get into streaming, and and so

115
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: they got to this point where they now have hundreds

116
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: of millions of subscribers, but their losses have balloon, And

117
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure why there was such a lack

118
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: of focus on the cost controls, especially last quarter, because

119
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the business like parks and resorts and

120
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: and and as well as the hotels and and the

121
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: cruise ships, many elements of the business are booming right now.

122
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: And hugely profitable. So we actually expected Disney to beat

123
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: profits nicely this quarter, and it was like, where did

124
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: this extra billion uh spent on on the streamers go?

125
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: And so you know, Disney, Disney Plus and and Hulu

126
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: have are great assets. ESPN Plus, they're great assets, and

127
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: they've had a lot of money investment. But it's time

128
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: to make this business profitable and and and make sense economic.

129
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: Let's bring you son of what Bob said in a

130
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: statement Sunday night when he was named to see a first.

131
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: Of all, he seems as surprised as the rest of us,

132
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: using the word amazement, but he also talks about these

133
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 1: times remain quite challenging. I suppose you're referring to macro

134
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: conditions you talked about profit is it's just you can't

135
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: just turn the tap off and suddenly the losses from

136
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: streaming go away and everything's dandy. How materially does he

137
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: fix things at Disney? Well, I think you've got, really

138
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: I would say three main issues that Disney faces. So

139
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: the first, which we've been discussing, is how do we

140
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: build a streamer with the right economics? And it's actually

141
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: not that hard because you do have a certain level

142
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: of certainty of what your revenue is going to be

143
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: because it's a reoccurring revenue model. So Disney and Apple

144
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: just recently raised prices on their streamers, so they can

145
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: pretty well guess what they're going to take in revenue

146
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: wise over the next twelve months. And they just need

147
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: to right size the budget for it so that that

148
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: isn't that big of a deal. You just have to

149
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: do the right math. The second thing Disney needs to

150
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: address is China. This is the really big difficult challenge

151
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: that many of my companies are facing, whether it be

152
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: the MGM and Macau or Tesla and Shanghai. You know,

153
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: we're just facing so much uncertainty in the Shanghai park

154
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: is closed again and this is a big challenge for them,

155
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: despite the rest of the park's business doing extremely well.

156
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: And then the third thing is what are they going

157
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: to do with their sports business. I personally love the

158
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: ESPN brand in business, and I think that they need

159
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: to be deeper in sports and deeper in sports betting,

160
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: and and if not, just get out of the sports

161
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: business and and spin it off or sell the ESPN brand.

162
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: But I think they need to make a decision on

163
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: what they're going to do with sports in the future. Now,

164
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: I think Disney should stay in the sports business. But

165
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: but I think I will assess these things and make

166
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: some great decisions, and soon enough we'd like you to

167
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: see the monetization in some parts of Disney plus lust.

168
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: I'm interested in the people behind Disney plus the executives.

169
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we know that bomb Iger might well be

170
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: thinking of his lgbt Q plus community and how response

171
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: to them post the politicization of all of that, But

172
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: talk to us about the executives who institute do the roles.

173
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: Talk about the people who perhaps were given a backseat

174
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: unto Chapec, and how that changes. So this part of

175
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: Disney was going back to Igor's days when they bought Fox.

176
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: So when they integrated Fox, there was just like almost

177
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: a lot of the Disney people left and Fox people

178
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: on the television and the movie side sort of stayed

179
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: and and and that's been good, I think for Disney.

180
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: But I think Chpec really was not great with talent,

181
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: and I don't think he had any vision for the

182
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: artists or the artistry part of making the magic of Disney.

183
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: And that's what Igor has that that is really hard

184
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: to quantify. So so I think this is like a

185
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: really big thing. Is I do think they have great

186
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: executives managing their businesses, but I think they need some

187
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: direction as far as content is concerned, and and sort

188
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: of like somebody would taste, and that's what Iger has

189
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: that Chapex certainly doesn't. But I still think the integration

190
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: of Disney and Fox in a way is still not

191
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: a d percent complete, and I think there needs to

192
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: be this finality to it. Ross. Did you buy more

193
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: Disney shares on Monday? Well, you know, I run a

194
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: public E t F. G K is my e t

195
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: F and and I did buy Disney today and and

196
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's been actually posted yet, um,

197
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: but but it's posted anyways at five o'clock Eastern, so

198
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 1: the markets are closed. So I did by Disney aggressively today.

199
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's think about the other company. I think

200
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: it's wildly undervalued. I think it's wildly undervalued. And and

201
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: with Eiger back, I think it's a whole another business

202
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: to look at. Now, another business to look at Twitter,

203
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: you're an investor in the private entity. Bloomberg reported that

204
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: layoffs continued Monday, focus on sales and marketing. What do

205
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: you make of that? Well, I think you're going to

206
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: see the same thing at Disney. So I think if

207
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: you look at tech companies across the board, um, Twitter

208
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: and Fluted and probably more extreme than most, is we're

209
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: seeing this resizing of the tech industry across the entire industry.

210
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: And and that's really part of that is from the

211
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: pandemic boom to now bust. Uh and now you know,

212
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: also just a more realistic view of what costs and

213
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: content are going to be used and achieved. But Twitter

214
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: was wildly overstaffed and and now they're going to move

215
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: to a staff level that's probably wildly understaffed, and then

216
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna build, and they're gonna build by hiring. So

217
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: I think people are thinking like, oh, this is gonna

218
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: like be the permanent size of Twitter will be extremely small,

219
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: and I don't think that's correct. What this is going

220
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: on is a corporate restructuring where a new culture is

221
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: being built at Twitter, and one that will be much

222
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: more productive for the company, the users, and its shareholders.

223
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: Your perspective there was I'm interested in what though might

224
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: occur with a luck says wildly understaffed all their risks

225
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: all their concerns while it is so well, I've been

226
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: you know, monitoring Twitter, you know, very closely from my

227
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 1: own experiential, uh point of view to see if there

228
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: has been any change, and I've actually would argue that

229
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: Twitter is better now that Ellen has taken over then before.

230
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: The engagement on Twitter has been off the charts over

231
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Not to mention all the

232
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: news and information, but Twitter is still the most incredible

233
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: source of news besides Bloomberg. When you're looking at Sam

234
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: Banquin Freed live tweeting during his fraud, you know it's

235
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: it's only on Twitter. And so whether if I want

236
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: news on Ukraine, I'm sorry, I have to go to Twitter.

237
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: And so it's a crucially important news and information site

238
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: and one that Ellen is working very hard to protect.

239
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: Its integrating and I think twitters as good as ever

240
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: Russ as an investor in Twitter who wants a long

241
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: term return, one thing you want to see Elon must

242
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: do with the platform ad add creator engagement opportunities. So

243
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: by adding YouTube and you know these kind of features

244
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: where creators can get on the platform and make a living. Um,

245
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: we post a lot of video on on Twitter and YouTube,

246
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: and and everybody has to monetize through YouTube. So I

247
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: think the creator opportunity on Twitter as a platform is enormous,

248
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: and I think YouTube should be scared. All Right, Rosco,

249
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: the CEO and co founder of the Kawasaki Thank You,

250
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: coming out. We'll have the latest on the ticket Master

251
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: and Taylor Swift debacle and the d j's role in

252
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: all of this. This is blamed. Let's talk about Live

253
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: Nations ticket Master, the system crash that of course dashed

254
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: the hopes of Mania. Taylors were found for a concert ticket.

255
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: Turns out, long after the Justice Department started probing into

256
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: all of this to think whether Live Nation is a

257
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 1: using its power of the live music industry. That's all

258
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: according to sources, and pleased to save new meg intelligences.

259
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: And Jennifer Ree is here when more on this end

260
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: because we want to be discussing with Jennifer the great

261
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: deck that she put out full blue Meg Intelligence about

262
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: why aren't you reminding us this isn't the first time

263
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: the d o J has got interested in what was

264
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: an emin ad done years ago. Jennifer, Yeah, so you

265
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: know this has been going on for a really long time.

266
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: You know, I think the Taylor Swift debacle kind of

267
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: brought this to the headlines. But honestly, there have been

268
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: critics of Live Nation and groups that have called for

269
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: the deal that was closed in two thousand ten to

270
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: be unwound by the d J really ever since it closed.

271
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: And the DJ started investigating after settling with the companies

272
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: in two thousand ten, probably as early as two thousand twelve,

273
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: only a few years after they actually were merged, because

274
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: they believed that they were already violating in consent agreement

275
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: that they signed in two thousand ten. Now I don't

276
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: know exactly when that investigation started, but what had ended

277
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: was in two thousand nineteen, and the d o J said,

278
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: in fact, we do believe they've been violating these terms

279
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: they were supposed to behave in a certain way towards venues.

280
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: They promised to behave in that way, not to force

281
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: or coerce the venues to use Ticketmaster, allow them to

282
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: use rivals to Ticketmaster, and in fact they've renigged on that.

283
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: So we're going to enter another settlement with them. And

284
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: that settlement was signed in late two thousand nineteen. And

285
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: now I think what's going to happen. Is the d

286
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: J is going to look again to see are they

287
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: still violating that newer amended agreement from two thousand nineteen,

288
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: and are they even doing more in the market that's

289
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: anti competitive? Jen, what's the threshold this time around? What

290
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: is it that they'd be looking for that would be

291
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: enough for an enforcement action? You know, that's a good question,

292
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: and they actually have two different thresholds because the consent

293
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: order that they agreed to in two thousand nineteen lowered

294
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: the threshold. This is something Live Nation agreed to for

295
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: the d o J to show that they've been violating

296
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: that consent order. So if they're trying to show that, hey,

297
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: they agreed to this, they're not abiding by these terms,

298
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: we have a pretty low threshold to prove that that's

299
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: what's happening in court. So that's why threshold um. I

300
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: think this is the kind of proof and evidence that's

301
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: fairly easy for the d o J to collect. They

302
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: just go out and talk to venues and find out

303
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: what their communications have been with Live Nation and with Ticketmaster.

304
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: But I think the second thing the d o J

305
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: might be looking at is more broadly is Live Nation

306
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: and Ticketmaster entering into exclusive agreements with so many big

307
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: venues that they're basically blocking out smaller rivals who can

308
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: no longer contract with those venues because they're exclusive to Ticketmaster.

309
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: That's a little bit of a higher threshold something I

310
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: think they could also prove in court though. If you

311
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: are a company with market dominance, and it's alleged here

312
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: that Live Nation does have market dominance, it is illegal

313
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: to tie up more than about thirty five of the outlet,

314
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: And if that's what they're doing with these exclusive agreements

315
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: or quasi exclusive agreements, that would violate the antitrust laws. Jennifer,

316
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: when the measure had is a long time ago. Yes,

317
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: told to us about the speed at which any of

318
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: this I could unfold, Well, it's really slow. I mean,

319
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: as you heard, the mergers in according to the d

320
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: o J when they came out with papers in two

321
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen, the deal had been violated since two thousand twelve, right,

322
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: and they didn't settle into till two nineteen. So these

323
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: investigations can go for two or three years. But I

324
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: think that the DJ investigation that's ongoing now did start

325
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: a few years ago. You know, I went back and

326
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: I looked at how often we at Bloomberg Intelligence had

327
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: published about antitrust problems Live Nation could have, and we

328
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: wrote in two thousand eighteen, we wrote in two thousand nineteen,

329
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: and we wrote in two thousand twenty. So I think

330
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: it's very possible something could happen next year in two

331
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: thousand twenty three, and enforcement action more likely than a settlement.

332
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: All right, Bloomberg Intelligence is Jennifer Ree, Thank you, Thank

333
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 1: you time now for our top tech calls. Moffatt Nathanson

334
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: upgrading Disney to outperform, expecting the company to re examine

335
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: a streaming strategy after reinstating bob IgA to the top job.

336
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: Self driving tech name Mobili initiated with the street high

337
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: seventy seven dollar price target. It's City Group. The firm

338
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: has put a by rating on Mobili, saying there's a

339
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: path to hitting fifty billion dollars of revenue by and finally,

340
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: Argust downgrading online and car vending machine company car Varna

341
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: to sell. The firm says the company will struggle to

342
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: make a profit as used car prices continue to drop.

343
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: Those of your top techles welcome back to putting back technology.

344
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: Some breaking news, of course, to fall out after the

345
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: reappointment of Bob Iger at Disney. We understand that at

346
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: the moment he's asking Disney managers to reconsider the corporate structure. Already,

347
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: we've started to see that the distribution chief, Kareem Daniel,

348
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: is stepping deep down. We understand, of course this executive

349
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: was particularly close to Bob Jpeck. So Bob Igor is

350
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: announcing changes in a company memo as it stands, So

351
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: Kareem Daniel, being the chairman of Media and Entertainment Distribution,

352
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: will continue to bring you all the latest when it

353
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: comes to dis Knee and some of the restructuring there. Meanwhile, though,

354
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: there's restructure and going across technology more broadly, mass tech

355
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: layoffs have left hundreds of workers living right here in

356
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: the United States on just temporary visas, were little or

357
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: next to no time to find another job, and indeed

358
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: they have to leave the country. And how could this

359
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: change the U S tech landscape more broadly, Yeah, it's

360
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: an interesting one. Tech companies rely on the H one

361
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: B visa for computer engineering talent right from all around

362
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,959
Speaker 1: the world. The numbers behind this Bloomberg analysis of fascinating

363
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: H one B vis has captin a five thousand per year.

364
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: This group of six tech companies on your screen are

365
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: behind forty five thousand of them, both new and renewed

366
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: over the last three years. Just those six names, alan

367
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: As you can see from the chart, H one bees

368
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: make up a significant okay, not a majority, but a

369
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: significant amount of the overall workforce. So to answer your question,

370
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: if a tech workers laid off and they have to

371
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: return home to their home nation as a result of

372
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: losing their job, there's a cost to the lawyer that

373
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: has to be covered for the travel back to that

374
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: home nation. The cost is also a big part of

375
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: this story, right, Why are layoffs happening? Cost saving measures

376
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: are a part of it. H one B visas also

377
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: carry higher average pay. Generally speaking, the national average for

378
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: H one B in terms of pay, if we bring

379
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: up that next chart, is around a hundred and six

380
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: thousand dollars per H one B visa employee. But you

381
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: look across the tech sector again those same six names,

382
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: that average pushes higher and higher in terms of the

383
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: salary than an H one B visa employee can command.

384
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: And things are changing. Think about all the reports we've

385
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: done recently, Caroline on Twitter, those staff that have been

386
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: laid off here in the United States, and the reporting

387
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 1: that the Bloomberg has done about them trying to find

388
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: new roles talking with recruiters. I really encourage the audience

389
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: go on Bloomberg dot com, get your Business Week magazine

390
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: hard copy and take a look at this story. Fascinating

391
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: data analysis and all over linked in many getting onto

392
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: communication with across WhatsApp using any technology outlet really possible

393
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: to try and find mind a new sponsor. I used

394
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: to White Dixon White Chief people Officer and legal advisor

395
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: can bring us her expertise, of course, previously held legal

396
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: and HR positions at Disney. At we work and are

397
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: used to. This is a really emotional time for many.

398
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: The dependency of certain people upon their companies to sponsor them,

399
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: to let them remain a mortgage pair in the US,

400
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: their children remain at school here. Overall the company the

401
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: building box of a life they make. We're hearing that

402
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: certain companies are taking different ways of supporting them. We

403
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: know that Meta for example, trying to find ways to

404
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: delay some of that overall notification and notice period that

405
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: people serve. What are the best ways companies can make

406
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: this transition, I think the best way is to a

407
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: be honest about what they can do, what they can

408
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: have fund in, what they can afford right now. I

409
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: think that if you are on an H one B

410
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: visa and you are in the middle of your visa stay,

411
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: trying to get on with another tech company will be

412
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: amazing at this point, although it seems like the largest

413
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: tech companies are setting for a layoff right now, so

414
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: maybe looking at a smaller tech company that still has

415
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: a budget and the ability to sponsor. But I think

416
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: from a company standpoint, companies are looking at the talent

417
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: that they cannot lose no matter what and keeping those

418
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: people sponsored. And for other people, they are trying to

419
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: get them an extension for as long as they can,

420
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: because there are so many people who have adjusted their

421
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: lives believing that they would be in the US sponsored

422
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: by an employer. From a more macro perspective, time and

423
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: time again, everyone's wondered when this is going to show

424
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: up in the numbers, when the non farm payrolls are

425
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: going to show some of the job layoffs. So we're

426
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: seeing in technology and the response I've been getting is, look,

427
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: these are very talented individuals who will find it very

428
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: quick to find another role. Is that the case are

429
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: we awashed with jobs at the moment, because I seem

430
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: just this tear of job freezes in the tech world.

431
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: So in the tech world, I think, honestly, of the

432
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: people who are being laid off will find another job

433
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: very quickly. What is how opening, is that there are

434
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: layoffs and there are a lot of job freezes at

435
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,719
Speaker 1: this point, even if and it's the holiday season, right

436
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: the holiday season is a very very slow time for

437
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: hiring all around the US. So what we have here

438
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: is two things that are working against people. One is

439
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: layoff and freezes. The second is the holiday season. But

440
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: I think even if we look at once, we look

441
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: at January or February, we're only really talking about the

442
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: people receiving jobs again, because everyone isn't a software engineer

443
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: that's being laid off. It is across the spectrum in HR, legal,

444
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: finance operations, and so all of those jobs, even though

445
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: they're intagg don't necessarily get picked up as quickly. I

446
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: want to leverage your professional background, your experience. You've done

447
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: a lot of reporting here at Bloomberg about what has

448
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: happened at Twitter right down the road from me and

449
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: Market Street people being locked out of the building, the

450
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: HR department being let go, and so those administering the

451
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: layoffs not being sort of qualified HR people. You know,

452
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: Elon must tweeted over the weekend pictures of him working

453
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: late into the night with this new team of engineers.

454
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: But what is your assessment of how that process was handled?

455
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: I want to be completely honest and transparent. This was

456
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: probably the worst mass layoff I've ever seen in my

457
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: twenty years of being an employment lawyer. I think, you know,

458
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: Ellen came in as an individual versus a businessman and

459
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: really look to take over a company and is using

460
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: it like it's a toy versus a company. At this point.

461
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: He did not come in and work with the chief

462
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: people Officer, who is the chief people and Diversity officer,

463
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: to determine the skills that he had within the company,

464
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 1: the knowledge base he had within the company, so he

465
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: could really make it born decisions about who to let

466
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: go and who to stay. And everything is showing that

467
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: he's let go of people who is he's asking to

468
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: bring back at this point. I mean, there's so many

469
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: things that he has done that have been really unfortunate

470
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: and it's playing with people's lives, their salaries, their medical benefits,

471
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: and their retirement benefits. I mean, this just kind of

472
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: goes against everything that we say is in best practice

473
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: of HR and it's really unfortunate. On the other hand, Aisha,

474
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: he does have a track record of getting the best

475
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: out of people, especially when they're under duress. Does the

476
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 1: end justify the means? Absolutely not, Absolutely not. I I mean,

477
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: and I would eat my words in six months to

478
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: a year if something is different. But honestly, right now,

479
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: he's working with a bare bones crew, a crew that

480
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: doesn't appear to be diverse, a crew that is looking

481
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: like they're going to burn out. And honestly, a number

482
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: of people that I know who have continued with Twitter

483
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: are looking and they're just looking for their next best opportunity.

484
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 1: I think the landscape of employment has changed considerably since COVID.

485
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: No one wants to work and work until they drop anymore.

486
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: It is just not that type of employment landscape. And

487
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: so I understand that Ellen has had people who stick

488
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: along with him for this ride for a short duration,

489
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: but I do not believe that he has created enough

490
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: goodwill or that he has a good enough reputation even

491
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: within Tesla, to bring people from Twitter who had really

492
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: kind of dedicated their skills and everything to Twitter, to

493
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: bring them alongside what he's trying to do. He's just

494
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: not communicating enough. He's not really showing the roadmap to

495
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: everyone and the things that he's done, from laying off

496
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: people at the top all the way down with no severance,

497
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: no notice. It's not a way to keep a company

498
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: going or employing morale. It's interesting just to play devil's

499
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: advocate here. You say, the landscape has changed, but the

500
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,719
Speaker 1: economic landscapes changing with it, And before we really had

501
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: the pendulum swing in the direction of talent of employees. Well,

502
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: now we've got to slow down in the economy and

503
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: people are more fearful of their jobs. Is there a

504
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: risk here that the focus on diversity, on inclusion, the

505
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: realignment of what we thought our purpose for what it was,

506
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: does shift again as we start to get more fearful.

507
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't think it it will shift. I think that

508
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: some things will take a pause. I definitely believe that

509
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: budgets within the d E and I space, the budgets

510
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: within the culture space, are going to pause. I think

511
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: they really are because in some companies they believe that

512
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: that is nice to have versus a must have. But

513
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: in terms of what we need, honestly, from a bare

514
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: bones perspective to have a company run, which is top talent.

515
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: Top talent can go anywhere, and the question is why

516
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: would they want to work for you. Ellen at this

517
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: point is not offering increased salaries, increase flexibility, nothing. He

518
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: is saying, hey, please buy into this dream that I

519
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: have of how I can really make Twitter something even

520
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: better than it already was. And I don't know if

521
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: he has a lot of people along for the ride.

522
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: In terms of the other tech companies, there are some

523
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: tech companies that have really done it right who are

524
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: not abandoning d E and I and some of the

525
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: other things like strife. I think that you don't abandon

526
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: these principles, but sometimes you do need to take a

527
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: pause budget terrant LYE in order to focus on operations. Okay,

528
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: Aisha White Dixon White, Chief people Officer and legal adviser,

529
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: Thank you now, bloom Bags Camera Leach is on the

530
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: case with the Twitter saga and reported more layoffs today.

531
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: Camp what do we learn? It's been a lot that's

532
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: been happening over the past thirty six to forty eight

533
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: hours for employees at Twitter. We could say even from

534
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: our own reporting, starting off on Sunday, workers woke up

535
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: to a to a to a new calendar invite Sunday morning,

536
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: and then by midday Sunday there was all hands meeting

537
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: affecting basically just trying to give a new direction for

538
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: where Twitter was going to go. By the time it

539
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: came around to Monday, workers had learned that they've been fired.

540
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: They had been let go, which only until January that

541
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: they'd get uh, they'll still be paid and considered to

542
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: be an employee as well too. And more specifically, this

543
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: affected the sales team, and this came as a complete shock,

544
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: specifically because the sentiment was that you know, they had

545
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: been and shield it from some of these layoffs that

546
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: we have been reporting. Not only have our viewers been

547
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: watching this, employees that Twitter have been watching our reporting

548
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: as well too because they didn't know what was coming

549
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: up next. But the whole thought process in the sentiment

550
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: was that they wouldn't be affected by these layoffs because

551
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: one thing that Twitter needed was revenue, and the cells

552
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: team was the main driving force behind those things. So

553
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: this came out a complete show for a lot of

554
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: workers camera at the moment. I think at the bottom

555
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: of the story, it really shows that at one point

556
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: it was seven thousand workers before masks were now looking

557
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: at an employee internal counter of two thousand, seven hundred

558
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: and fifty. How much is that still to go? How

559
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: much do we inherently need to support a overall social

560
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: media and part such as Twitter. There's going to be

561
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: real concerns. Hi, Yeah, I mean we've all been, you know,

562
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: tracking a lot of these you know, technology companies, the

563
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: big tech companies, and we know for sure that Twitter

564
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: has been a revenue losing company for some time now,

565
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: and they've just had to cut costs, you know. I

566
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: think they only got down to a less than a

567
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: billion just last year, and that was over they were

568
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: losing about more than a billion dollars. So it's so

569
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: much money they have to cut, and it seems like

570
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: Ellen thinks that salary is the best way to do

571
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: that by decreasing his head account. Um. I think the

572
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: wheels are definitely spending over there. I think nobody knows

573
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: where this roller coaster is headed next, and everybody's on

574
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: their toes walking on the eggshells. Well, Kin, that's what

575
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about, you know, you and

576
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: I and the team. We have heard from a lot

577
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: of former and current employees right A lot of sources

578
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: inside the company have been confused about what's going on.

579
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: What is the sentiment among staff that are left at Twitter. Yeah,

580
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: even for those that are left that Twitter, they as

581
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: you know your guests in the last segment said they

582
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: are still looking externally. They're keeping the the training wheels

583
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: going um, because there is no direction There seems to

584
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: be a lot of confusion going forward. Spoke to a

585
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: source earlier today and apparently there should be a final

586
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: all hands meeting happening today that kind of gives the

587
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: direction where Twitter two point oh we'll be going. And

588
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: apparently those are the just only the staff members that

589
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: are left and that Ellen will be keeping with. But

590
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: that was supposed to be the thought with the last

591
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: all enhanced meetings, So you never know if this could

592
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: be the next one, if this could be the final one. Um,

593
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: so nobody knows. We're sticking close to the situation and

594
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 1: we'll want tote it on Bloomberg dot com as well. Comer,

595
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: thank you so much for bringing us your inside track

596
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: in the moment, Cameron Leach, as always, we thank him

597
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: and you ed across whether all your reporting coming up

598
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: crypto contagion, it worsens Genesis wanting up the possible bankruptcy.

599
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: More on that moment. This is Bloomberg, two major bloomberg

600
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: scoops in the world of crypto. On Monday, Genesis has

601
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: warned of a potential bankruptcy if it doesn't get funding,

602
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: and federal prosecutors in Manhattan were already looking into fd

603
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: x is operation months before it's collapse. That according to sources,

604
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 1: Luckily Bloomberg Shnali Bassak is here with all the details.

605
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: Let's start with that ft X investigation. What do we

606
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: know about regulators and what they were doing with f

607
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: t X. Regulators were concerned about the ft X empire.

608
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: Of course, regulators in the United States would be worries

609
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 1: about worried about the ft X empire. I would also say,

610
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: they'll remember, this is all happening. The bloomberg scoopa that

611
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: we are discussing here is all happening on the back

612
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: of a lot of dispute here ed between the Bahamas

613
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: and the United States and bringing Sam Bankman Freed here

614
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: to questioning for regulators and lawmakers publicly as we wait

615
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: to hear what's going to happen with the House Financial

616
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: Services Committee and the Center Banking Committee, who also want

617
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: to bring in Sam Bankman Freed for testimony as well

618
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: as his deputies. I would say separately, as we think

619
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: about what's happening with regulators tomorrow, there's going to be

620
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: a hearing in a Delaware bankruptcy court starting eleven am.

621
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: And so you're hearing both the issues of the f

622
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: t X empire and ravel at the same time as

623
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: we hear about authorities and their concerns. According to sources,

624
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: between the links between f t X and al Amda,

625
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: Let's of course go to further links. Let's go to

626
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: further contagion. Let's go Shnali to genesis right now, because

627
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: you're scooped just before us coming on. Add the fact

628
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: that they may have to fail far off the bankruptcy.

629
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: The focus right now is this is not imminent and

630
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: they're looking for other sources of funds. Now. Remember something

631
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: that's interesting about not just the breaking news that we

632
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: have today as well as what we've had as we've

633
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: been talking about U S authorities looking at f t

634
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: X over months. This is just another indication that some

635
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: of these issues go back many months, that they go

636
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: back to Three Arrows for example, and whoever had a

637
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: relationship with them. Remember, Genesis is one of those companies

638
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: that did have links to both Three Arrows and f

639
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: t X. At this point in time, they are a

640
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: large creditor when you looked at their relationship to Three Arrows.

641
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: And now let's talk about it in the vein of

642
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: f t X for a second, because we know the

643
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: trading desk had had about a hundred seventy five million

644
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 1: dollars tied up with f t X, but the lending

645
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: business separately has had to pause withdrawals. So here come

646
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: the questions, what were the relationships then between Genesis Lending

647
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: and Genesis Trading, Genesis Lending Trading and the rest of

648
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: the Visual Currency Group empire. How much does that actually

649
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: matter at the end of the day. And are some

650
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: of these questions not just a matter of you know,

651
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 1: customer money tied up in one exchange or one lender,

652
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: but is there a broader systemic issue here in the

653
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: way customer funds are being used among crypto companies? More

654
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: largely as it comes to lending and trading activities. Okay,

655
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: so one that we continue to ask questions on and

656
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: of course cost no expersions, but continue to dig deep

657
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: as you do with all the relative reading tentacles of

658
00:34:51,800 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: this business. We thank you. Shanna m now going viral.

659
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: Let's stick with FIFA. Let's stick with seven national football

660
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 1: teams including England, who will not wear a rainbow Arman

661
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: showing solidarity with LGBTQ plus rights, bowing instead de pressure

662
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: from FIFA because players might receive a yellow card for

663
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 1: the show of support. Cutter has been under intense scrutiny

664
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 1: leading up to the World Cup, of course, over of

665
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: course the treatment of migrant workers, as well as concerned

666
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: with human rights and its criminalization of homosexuality. Now one

667
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: gay rights group Stonewall says that by threatening sporting sanctions

668
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: and stopping players from wearing the One Love Our Band's,

669
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: FIFA are brushing criticism of human rights abuses under the

670
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: carpet human rights campaign, and Peter Tatchell noted, look two

671
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: days ago few for presidents spoke of inclusivity about this

672
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: ruling shows actually his true colors. I urged the team

673
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: captains at their post match process conferences to spend just

674
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: thirty seconds to speak out for the rights of women,

675
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 1: lgbt s and migrant workers. That would have a huge impact,

676
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: he says for me. Also the Iranian team not singing

677
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: their national anthem, and of course over the course of

678
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: this weekend going viral that shocking news out of Colorado springs.

679
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 1: It makes it a very intense time for the lgbt

680
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: Q plus community, particularly in the US. Yeah, and we

681
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: see on social media it's having an impact on the

682
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: arm bands, you know, Captain saying that they thought that

683
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 1: they would face a fine rather than something relating to

684
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: kit rather than a sporting sanctioned serious things, That does it, Caroline.

685
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,279
