00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keane. Along

2
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: with Jonathan Ferroll and Lisa Brownwitz. Daily we bring you

3
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: insight from the best and economics, finance, investment, and international relations.

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcast, Suncloud, Bloomberg dot Com,

5
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: and of course on the Bloomberg Terminent Laurence Somers was

6
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: with us the other day, the Secretary of Treasury and

7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: obviously from Harvard University, and he wrote a blistering essay

8
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: today in the Washington Post, and we will begin with

9
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: that with the wonderful Ellen Setner of Morgan Stanley. The

10
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: FETE is not internalized, the magnitude, the magnitude of its

11
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: errors over the past year, is operating with an inappropriate

12
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: and dangerous framework. Professor Somers, with alan Stonemash, goes on

13
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: to say, there can be no reliable progress against inflation

14
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: without substantial increases in real interest rates, which means temporary

15
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: increases in unemployment. Mazentner is with Morgan Stanley. Ellen, you

16
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: know that the word magnitude is used differently by people

17
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: like Xanner, people like Summers. How hard is it right

18
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: now to gauge the magnitude of this moment, this march magnitude.

19
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: How hard is it to gauge the how muchness forward

20
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: for you? The how much of nous? I love it?

21
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: Uh So, look the the It's easy to get on

22
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: the train of saying the feed is behind the curve.

23
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: And I think there are folks on the FO m

24
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: C that would agree that they're probably behind the curve. UM.

25
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: But there are enough risks in the economy still and

26
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: with renewed geo new geopolitical concerns, um, that does make

27
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: sense to start off with the basis point hike. You

28
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: don't want to add to the volatility that's already in

29
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: the markets. I think what we're going to see is

30
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: that Chair Pal is going to leave the door open

31
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: to the door. Then markets know that they can go

32
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: in bigger increments at any time. But to say that

33
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: the FED is operating under the wrong framework, I think

34
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: it's just absolutely uh inconsistent with what we've heard from

35
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: the FED. I think it was pretty quickly that they

36
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: abandoned the new framework when they went solely to focusing

37
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: on UH inflation. Uh. I don't think they're operating on

38
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: the under that old framework. The old twenty framework framework,

39
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: and the headline there is Zentor pushing back against somers Ellen.

40
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: I want to stay on magnitude, which goes to the

41
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: reaction functions of the Fed. Can we have any predictable

42
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: reaction functions given the mix of economic data the dynamics

43
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: of the American system? Are we literally with Chairman Powell

44
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: flying blind out of this pandemic with the overlay of

45
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: war in Ukraine? Yeah? So, uh, I mean flying blind?

46
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: There is a good way to put it. Uh. You know,

47
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: I think under this environment, it's absolutely appropriate to expect

48
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: high volatility to continue. Um Volatility equals uncertainty, and it

49
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: means that you have monetary policy makers that are going

50
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: to have to make decisions meeting by meeting based on

51
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: the data that they have in hand and where they

52
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: think it is likely going. You know, when you're when

53
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: you're following financial conditions so closely, and when those are

54
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: being impacted uh, not just by your own communication, but

55
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: uh of late by external sources. You know, it's it's

56
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: out of your control and you just really have to

57
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: watch and take it step by step, feel your way

58
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: in the sand with your toes. Uh. And that's what

59
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: the FED is going to be doing, and so I

60
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: think Chap is going to underscore that in his Q

61
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: and A session uh today, um. And that means that

62
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: markets are going to have to really be nimble as

63
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: the FED is going to be nimble. That you could

64
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: see twenty five basis points fifty fifty or all twenty

65
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: five or what we do know is that they're hiking.

66
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: The hiking cycle has begun, and there is a lot

67
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: of room for them to get far in rate hikes

68
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: without impacting the economy. And I think that's what is

69
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: most misunderstood by the market. Well, Ellen to that point,

70
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: let's put some numbers on that that you expect we're

71
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: going to end the year of three with a base

72
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: of FED funds rate of two point six to five,

73
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: well above where the tenure and frankly the thirty year

74
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: are at this point. And you also expect quantitative tightening,

75
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: not just a cessation of purchases of bonds, but actually

76
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: the shrinking of the balance sheet to begin in May.

77
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: So here's what I'm struggling with, struggling with Ellen. If

78
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: this is actually going to be effective FED tightening, why

79
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: will that not translate to a slower growth paradigm that

80
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: could potentially slow the trajectory of their rate hikes. Yeah,

81
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: so it's it's a great question, Lisa, So they do.

82
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: So here's the part of Summer's uh op ed that

83
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: I do agree with. The Basically, he's laying out in

84
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: a way that the Fed can um that their other

85
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: job is to raise the unemployment rate. Um. Now, it

86
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: doesn't sound very good for policymakers to stand in front

87
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: of the public and say, hey, we're we need to

88
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: raise the unemployment rate, but that's part of their job.

89
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: They have to create slack, and to create slack, you've

90
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: got to slow the economy. So we do have the

91
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: economy slowing. Uh And we've taken growth forecast down for

92
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: this year and significantly raised inflation forecast, but the economy

93
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: is still growing well beyond its potential, which is in

94
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: the one and a half to one point eight percent range.

95
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: Uh And, so you are still gonna put downward pressure

96
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: on the unemployment rates. At the very least towards the

97
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: end of the year, we should start to see the

98
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: unemployment rate flat and out. If it doesn't, as policymakers

99
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: have warned, then you could see an unemployment rate in

100
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: the high twos, and that's still going to mean as

101
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: the Fed has a lot more to do, so I

102
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,559
Speaker 1: think in order to slow the economy and help inflation cool,

103
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: they are going to have to hike as much as

104
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: we believe in Again, you all mentioned the market is

105
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: expecting seven rate hikes this year is a basis point equivalent.

106
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: We're expecting six basis point equivalent. It's really in three

107
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: where we expect four additional hikes to get UH in

108
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: that range of two and a half to two and

109
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: three quarters per cent. That's where the market has it wrong.

110
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: This economy is less sensitive to hire interest rates UH,

111
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: and so the Feed is going to have to hike

112
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: further in order to slow the economy enough and raise

113
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: the unemployment rate enough. And we have to leave in

114
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: that ammon center of Morgan Stanley, thank you right now.

115
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: We got to get to this and there's like eight

116
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: ways to go here, including the news out of Chelsea

117
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: and football. But on a serious note, we talked Abob

118
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: Michael right now see I oh at JP Morgan Investment

119
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: management of the note and Bob, I just want to

120
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: tell you I have completed my bracket. And Gorgonzola is

121
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: who I have going all the way to the finals.

122
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,119
Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking forward to. Put too much money

123
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: on Gorgons. Not go with Yale, folks, I had to

124
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: go with Purdue because the woman from Produce signs my

125
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 1: paycheck is as simple as that, Bob. On a serious note,

126
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: Chairman Powell faces serious consequences of the decisions today and

127
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: may fourth, what's his biggest focus to get to the

128
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: autumn of this year. Well, it's interesting to me if

129
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: you go back to January, who walked into this year

130
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: surprisingly hawkish and that that caught the market off guard.

131
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: I'm looking for three things from the FETE today. I

132
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: want to see if they're opening the door to fifty

133
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: basis point hikes and how soon they'll do it. I'm

134
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: also looking at um the quantitative tightening. How fast will

135
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: they roll that forward? I think they should bring that

136
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: forward to June. And then lastly, I want to see

137
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: that trade off between growth and inflation. For sure, growth

138
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: will slow down in the back end of the year,

139
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: but if inflation is still high, I think the market

140
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: expects they may back off a bit. I think the

141
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: market will be surprised how hawk as she is today

142
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: and how focused on inflation he is today. Let's go

143
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: through that point by point, Bob, and let's start with

144
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: the dot plot and then we'll go to the news conference.

145
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: The DOP plot for twenty three right now about six,

146
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: just a little north of two. What kind of shift

147
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: are you expecting that? Well, it's throwing darts today given

148
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: where all the data is. But what I'd like to

149
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: see is I'd like to see the dots for the

150
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: end of this year at two percent, and I want

151
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: to see if anyone has the courage to put them

152
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: at three percent at the end of That's that's what

153
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: you want to happen. What do you think will happen? Oh,

154
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: I think they'll do it. I'm certain they'll do it.

155
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: I think they'll throw in a fifty at the main

156
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: meeting and they'll do uh six basis point hikes at

157
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: the other six meetings this year. So, Bob, where does

158
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: quantitative tightening fit into this? How much can they really

159
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: execute a shrinking of the balance sheet? Oh? I think

160
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: they'll announce it at the main meeting and do it

161
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: in June. I think all of it gets pulled forward. Look,

162
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: they've already made one policy error so far by letting

163
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: inflation get to where it is. We're looking at the

164
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: Dallas trim mean personal consumption expenditures, it's close to seven percent.

165
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: And that's without all the inflation that's going in the

166
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: pipeline now that we're going to see over the next

167
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: three to six months. So they've got a lot to

168
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: do to lean into inflation. And I think what you're

169
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: going to hear from them is that's their focus, even

170
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: if it means sacrificing growth at the end of the year. Well,

171
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: but Bob, that's exactly where I wanted to go, because

172
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: you're saying that they've already made a huge policy error.

173
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: But a lot of the inflationary inputs are far out

174
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: of their control. Their commodity driven. They also are driven

175
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: by some of the pandemic era distortion. So at this point,

176
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: is that the only tool they have to materially slow

177
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: the economy even further than inflation will do naturally, nonsense.

178
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: Not everything has been out of their control. There have

179
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: been an awful lot of things that have been in

180
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: their control. Look at the price of new homes, look

181
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: at the cost of shelter, the cost of housing that's

182
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: gone through the roof. Why because if it costs more,

183
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 1: but the cost to finance it remains close to zero.

184
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: Guess what you can pay more. They should have hiked

185
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: rates and stop purchasing mortgages six to twelve months ago,

186
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: and that would have slowed down the housing market a bit.

187
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: I think they've got a tough summer ahead because there's

188
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: a lot of pent up demand yet to be satiated.

189
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: That's going to happen over the summer. I see the

190
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: toughest month for them to get through as July. Well, Michael,

191
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: you know this works. You do one, Mike, We've got

192
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: a ton of money to put some work. What do

193
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: you tell them now? What'd you put it? Well? As

194
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, we walked into this year somewhat conservative thinking

195
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: at things, have gotten a bit of themselves ahead of

196
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: themselves in the credit market and raise cash. Now we're

197
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: putting it back to work. I think over the course

198
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: of a couple of months, we've got a year's worth

199
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: of repricing. We're looking at high yield for example, that

200
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: we came into this year at an all in yield

201
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: around four percent, we're now at over six percent. You

202
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: look at investment grade credit spreads have gone up from

203
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: eighty or ninety basis points to a hundred and fifty

204
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: basis points. Yields are up one point three, so there's

205
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: a lot of concern about what's going to happen to

206
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: corporate America. In corporate Europe, we think they'll be more

207
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: resilient than a lot of investors anticipate. And there's a

208
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: lot of cash on the sidelines. There was a lot

209
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: coming into this year because of the d risking. More

210
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: has built off build up. I think you're going to

211
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: see that put to work in the second quarter. But

212
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: Michael Friday evening seven pm, you're gaming Liverpool's next victory.

213
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm reading Kasman and Faroli cover to cover and Weekly Prospect.

214
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: As you read your colleagues Kasmin and Faroli, what does

215
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: it tell you, given higher yields, what foreign flows will do?

216
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: My problem with the dooming gloom of moving out to

217
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: higher yields lower fixed ingram prices is the foreigners always

218
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: show up, don't they? Yeah, they do, And you'll probably

219
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: see some of that in the coming quarter. Because for sure,

220
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: you're not going to see the Bank of Japan raise

221
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: rates in here. For sure, the e c B, I

222
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: think they'll still hike this year. But they'll talk it

223
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: down until the back end of the year, so that

224
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: money will look at the higher yields and come in.

225
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: That's probably why you don't get to three ten years

226
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: treasuries over the next couple of months. Can you get

227
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: there by the end of the year. I think with

228
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: the inflationary pressures in the pipeline, you will get there.

229
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: What would you like to see the cops at Chausea?

230
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: Just as a Red Sox Liverpool man, would you like

231
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: to see that happen? There are so many bad things

232
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 1: in that question. First of all, I'm a Philadelphia guy,

233
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: so it's the Phillies and now I'm a Liverpool supporter.

234
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: This is just a bridge too far from me. How

235
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,599
Speaker 1: did it happen? How did the Liverpool thing happen? Bob Um,

236
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: It's a it's a very long story, but we have time.

237
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: We I spent nine years in London. We landed in

238
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: London the year that England beat Germany five one. Michael

239
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: Owen scored a hat trick. We all looked at Michael Evan,

240
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: who did he play for Liverpool? And that became our

241
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: club and that was that. But Michael, thank you, sir,

242
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: our goal here for this invasion. This war, or as

243
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: Mr Putin says, this special operation is to bring you

244
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: guests of authority and earned expertise. Georgia is to the

245
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: southern side, think Joseph Stalin. And it was one of

246
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: Mr Putin's first wars in Russia. It was violent, in brutal,

247
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: with courage. Ian Kelly is the former US Ambassador Georgia,

248
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: served in a very tenuous time, and he joins US

249
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: now with his brilliant academics out of Colombia and his

250
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: academics out of Northwestern this day, Professor Kelly, Ambassador Kelly,

251
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: Welcome to Bloomberg. Wonderful to have you today. My book

252
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: of the year is Angelus Stents Putin's World. You use

253
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: it in class. What does Putin's world look like right now?

254
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: Putin's world looks very, very circumscribed right now. He started

255
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: out telling the Russian people that they were going to

256
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: be able to become fully participatory in international financial systems,

257
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: be able to travel, be able to use UH and

258
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: and hold in their banks foreign currency, be able to

259
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: use H worldwide credit cards. And of course that has

260
00:14:54,560 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: now come crashing down and UH. The Putin's world, as

261
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: I say, is now very small. Let's let's go to

262
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: your expertise. And I don't want to make allusions here

263
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: to Hitler and Putin and that that would be inappropriate,

264
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: but I will suggest that all of his work, including

265
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: his battles in Georgia, is with a Slavic certitude. You

266
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: study the Slavic nations culture in language. Is that breaking

267
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: down for Mr Putin right now? That certitude of the

268
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: Russian Slavic experience. Well, I think that he made a

269
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: serious mistake in thinking that the that the Ukrainians would

270
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: welcome their Eastern Slavic brothers. I think what he's trying

271
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: to do in in Ukraine and what he has been

272
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: doing with UH, with Yellow Rouse and to a certain

273
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: extent Kazaks down where are many Russian speakers, is to

274
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: try and create a Russian world, to create a Moscow

275
00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: centric community. UH. I don't think he wants to build

276
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: the Soviet Union, but he does want to restore in

277
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: Eastern Slavic homeland or or community. The idea that there

278
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: are borders between Russia and Ukraine UH pains him. And

279
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: what even more pains him is the idea that the

280
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: Ukrainians would want to orient themselves towards the West and

281
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: not towards Moscow, Ambassador. As we sit here today, we

282
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: are still getting a series of headlines saying that talks

283
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: are ongoing and seem more realistic between Ukraine and Russia.

284
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: Do you buy that, given that we cannot reset the

285
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: clock and go back to where we were, that it

286
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: means more NATO troops on the borders of Russia, that

287
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: it means a Ukraine that's living with this scarred history. Well,

288
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: I think it's it was impossible for anyone, really, I

289
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: think to see how there could be a diplomatic solution

290
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: based on Putin's initial maximalist goal goals, which was the

291
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: decapitation of the Ukrainian government and what he called the

292
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: demilitarization of the Ukrainian armed forces, which he said, falsely,

293
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: we're being controlled by the US and NATO. It's interesting

294
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: that you're starting to see UM a change in the

295
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: rhetoric in terms of their goals. They're not talking about

296
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: the de nazification of the government. They're talking more about

297
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: Ukraine becoming neutral, in other words, not joining NATO. Uh

298
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: So that I think is significant UM. But whether or

299
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: not it leads to a cessation of hostilities because uh,

300
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: the the other the new demand that they put in

301
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: as a recognition of Crimea and the eastern Ukraine enclave

302
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: of of dom Bas And I can't see the Ukrainians

303
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: giving up the sovereignty over a chunk of their territory.

304
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: Ambasta can I just jumped in just quickly slightly off

305
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: track where we just got a headline about how to

306
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: get Ukraine more military help. We've been trying to figure

307
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: out why sending them mix would be considered an escalation.

308
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: Why has the US declared that as an escalation if

309
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: they were to do so. I think what it is

310
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: is uh uh, the uh Poles wanted to send the

311
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 1: the planes to uh Ramstein air Base and US air

312
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: base in Germany and then have the planes flown in

313
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: from a US base in Germany. I think it's that particular,

314
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: Uh you know, it's it's it's the origin of the planes,

315
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: I think, which is giving UH Washington pause and I uh,

316
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: I I think that they're they're overestimating the possible risk

317
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: of flying from me from a US base. But it

318
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: is my understanding of it. And thank you just for

319
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: that clarification at the end there as well. In Kelly

320
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: that the former US Ambassador to Georgia. If you are

321
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: a gentleman from North Carolina state, you know the distance

322
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: from my seventy five from Knoxville down to Chattanooga. Yes,

323
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: Dennis Gartman, in my bracket, I've got Knoxville playing Chattanooga.

324
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go for the romance of a South there

325
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 1: in basketball. But the backdrop here in America, across our

326
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: agricultural complex is the planting season. In the serious moment

327
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: for Ukraine and their agriculture. We speak to the younger.

328
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 1: The younger Dennis Gartman of the Kansas Kansas Board of Trade,

329
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: Chairman of the University of Akron and Domin. Dennis, I

330
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: don't want to buy stocks today. I don't want to

331
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: go long short. I want to talk to you from

332
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: your ute and the Kansas Board of Trade about the

333
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: planting season. How serious is that for Ukraine? Very serious, Tom,

334
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,719
Speaker 1: It's it's something that we have to pay very much

335
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: attention to. Ukraine and Russia are about eight percent of

336
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: the world's exports of wheat. The fact is the winner

337
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: wheat crop, which is in the ground now is probably

338
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: deteriorating something fierce. Nobody's paying attention to it, nobody's being

339
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: able to get into the fields to take care of it.

340
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: It's coming out of dormancy, and it's going to be

341
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: a greatly reduced crop. There will be a corn crop

342
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: of some size, but it'll be demonstrably smaller than in

343
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: the past. And the question shall be, well they get

344
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: next year's winter weak crop planted in September and October

345
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: November when that crop has to go on the ground.

346
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: So the wheat crop prices here in the United States

347
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: have been on an absolute tear from the lower left

348
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: of the upper right. They've dropped a little bit in

349
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: the past several days, but it's been just a demonstrative,

350
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: monstrous bull market led by week. Dennis, you and I

351
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: have said in the boardroom of the New York Stock

352
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: Exchange and talked about this. Can we monitor the Ukraine

353
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 1: planting season by whether or are there other factors we

354
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: can't observe, including the danger of Russian troops? Well, clearly,

355
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: the danger of Russian troops is one thing. That the

356
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: ability to get the crop out of the ground and

357
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: shift is another thing. Completely. Whether the port facilities that

358
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: are so will be operative is is another question. Entirely.

359
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: Will the rail facilities that have to move the crop

360
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: from from the interior of the country to the to

361
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: the ports is another question entirely. It's one question after another,

362
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: and confusion breeds contempt. Confusion breeds uh higher prices under

363
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: most circumstances for a while, and then suddenly you see

364
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: an increase in the planet acreage here in the United States,

365
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: will probably see a big increase in spring weed planting

366
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: here in the US to take advantage of the fact

367
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: that wheat prices have gone so high. So it's a

368
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: real question that it's something people are not paying much

369
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: attention to. The other thing we paid we need to

370
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: pay attention to, is that here in the States, how

371
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: high soybean prices are, and the fact that you're gonna

372
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: have and how high fertilizer prices are, which means you're

373
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 1: gonna have a huge shift probably three four or five

374
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: million acres out of corn into soybeans because you need

375
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: you don't need fertilizer for the bean prop and you

376
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: need fertilizer for the for the corn crop. This this

377
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: could be the first time in twenty years that we

378
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: actually plant more acreage to soybeans that we do to corn.

379
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: Strange during strange circumstances. Indeed, Dennis, do you feel like

380
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: the market is underestimating the elasticity of some of these

381
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: agricultural commodities. Yes, yes, I think the market is underestimating.

382
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: I think that we can still see demonstrably higher prices

383
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: over the course of the next year or two. As

384
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: as I always tell people, watch what the term structures

385
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: are doing in storable commodities. When the backwardations widen on

386
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: on updates and then backwardations widen on down days, Also

387
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: it tells you that the market still wants to go higher.

388
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 1: So the answer to your question, yes, Dennis, has been

389
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: a while, it's gonna catch up, particularly in this environment,

390
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: Dennis countyman that on this commonity market. What we're gonna

391
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: do here is have a bit of a different conversation

392
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: with David Rubinstein. This morning we celebrate his interview here

393
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: with Mr Chesky. Let's do that quickly as we can.

394
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: Who is Mr Chesky and why is he ger Main

395
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: right now? Brian Chesky is one of the three people

396
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: that started Airbnb, which is a phenomenon among young people

397
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: but also middle aged people now. And it's relevant now

398
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: because as the world is changing, and people aren't coming

399
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: to the office quite the much as much they used to.

400
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: They're working remotely. More and more people are using Airbnb

401
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: to kind of relocate themselves. And in fact, roughly of

402
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: all the people that use air and B and B

403
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: do it for thirty days or more, and half the

404
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: people use it for a week or more. It's not

405
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: like a one night kind of overnight thing like a

406
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: hotel might be. So it's changed completely the perception of

407
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: what you do with your time when you're away from

408
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: your home. You can stay a much longer period of

409
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 1: time than you did before. And his company is doing

410
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: quite well well. And the future of Airbnb in some

411
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: ways hinges on the future of work from home, on

412
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: the future of the ability to take a month and

413
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: go to Hawaii and spend it there. How much on

414
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: Wall Street is that really going to be the story

415
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: when you see the likes of Goldman, Sachs and even

416
00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: JP Morgan really emphasizing working in the office, well, J P.

417
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: Morgan and Morgan's uh. JP Morgan and others are saying,

418
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: come to the office. But these are very unique and

419
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: unusual firms are centered in New York to financial service

420
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: kinds of organizations. The average person doesn't work at Goldman

421
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: Sacks and JP Morgan. The average person might be can

422
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: work from home, work can work from very remote sources.

423
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: So it's changed the way people live and work. I

424
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: don't think after the pandemic that we've gone through, people

425
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: are going to come back to the office five days

426
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: a week in the same pattern that we've had before.

427
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: And Airbnb is gonna, uh, I think capitalize on that

428
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: it already has. It's done quite well despite the fact

429
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: that initially, when when the pandemic came about, all of

430
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: a sudden, Airbnb was in big trouble. People weren't traveling

431
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: at all. Now it's rebounded and it's doing quite well.

432
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: It's got a market value of about ninety two billion

433
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: dollars now go ahead. So honestly, this has been a

434
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: really interesting moment because we're talking about these work from

435
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: home trends. We're talking about the return to offices amid

436
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: a new backdrop of crisis, right, and I wonder, as

437
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: as the head of a company and trying to figure

438
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: out as an investment company talking to other heads of companies,

439
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: how are people rethinking their business plans on the prospect

440
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: of more prolonged commodity prices of more prolonged disruption even

441
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: beyond the pandemic. I think all employers are learning it's

442
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: not as easy to get your people back to work

443
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: as you once thought. You just can't say come back

444
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: to work and they all come back exactly five days

445
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: a week the way they used to. So you also

446
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: have a hard time getting employees now and many many companies,

447
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: so you have to be more tolerant of what employees

448
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 1: want to do. And employees have now tasted the idea

449
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: that you can work at home a couple of days

450
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: a week, or you can work remotely and in the whole.

451
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: I think this is changing the way people will work

452
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: for quite some time in the future. Airbnb is taking

453
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: advantage of that because it's providing homes or other apartments

454
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: to people who can take away a week or a

455
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: month or more from their place where they actually supposed

456
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: to be in the office working. David yesterday, the announcement

457
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: of the death after I believe a tenure battle, real

458
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: illness for Michael Price, the great value investor. He used

459
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: to wear his Yankees ring just to aggravate me on set.

460
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: Tell our audience worldwide this complete class act. Michael Price.

461
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: Michael Price is one of the best value investors the

462
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: country has ever seen. Obviously, Warren Buffett is probably the

463
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: class of all value investors. Michael Price was trained by

464
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: somebody else. Michael Price took over a firm many years

465
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: ago from a mentor and built it into a powerhouse,

466
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: and became not only a great philanthropist, but a good

467
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: sports fan, as you know from his stake in the

468
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: New York Yankees. And what was important here was the

469
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: grace of it in this modern day. The snark of

470
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: the modern day, we've we've lost the grace that you

471
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: would see of a Michael Price or John Templeton and

472
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: the others. Both John Templeton and Michael Price didn't brag

473
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: about themselves very much. Relatively modest people, and Michael Price

474
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: wasn't a headline person. Most people in the investment world

475
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: probably didn't even know him, and outside the investment world

476
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: probably very few knew him. But he was seen as

477
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,719
Speaker 1: a class act, a smart person, and he was very

478
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: very philanthropic. David Rubinstein, thank you for joining us. Look
