Speaker 1: and on Bloomberg dot com. Well as more and more

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: people work from home for longer and longer period the

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: question is what does that mean for corporate real estate

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: office space in some major urban cities. To get a

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: sense of kind of the future, here, uh, we welcome

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: Rebecca Rocky, global head of forecasting for Cushman and Wakefield

12
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: located in New York City. Rebecca, thanks so much for

13
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: joining us. You know, I was in the city a

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, back in the office for day,

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: and you know, I was, you know, kind of shocked

16
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: to see the the fewer people on the street, and

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: that suggested to me fewer people, uh in the office buildings.

18
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: Give us a sense of kind of where we are

19
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: kind of in the global work worse in the office space,

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: and how you guys are thinking about it. Sure well,

21
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: first of all, thank you so much for having me today. UM.

22
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: You know, clearly we have a number of things going

23
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: on in the office sector, in particular, not the least

24
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: of which is dealing with the damage that's been done

25
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: in the economy and the labor market. UM. As it

26
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: relates to the return to the office, there are also

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: a number of trends emerging and most offices are operating

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: well below capacity right all over the country and really

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: in most of the parts of the world. We're seeing

30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: that office utilization is below where it was and in

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: some cases significantly. UM. And you know, fortunately office companies

32
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: have been more resilient when you think about the damage

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: that's been done to different industries. Office employment has fared

34
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: disproportionately better, and there is somewhat of a an ability

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: to work remotely, to get through the times, to continue

36
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: to work, just not in the office right now. So

37
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: that's really what we're seeing take place, and are some

38
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: of the things that we talk about in this report. Yeah, Rebecca,

39
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: you did a global office impact study and found that

40
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: office leasing will stay below pre COVID levels until twenty five, which,

41
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: when you think about it, sort of makes sense. What

42
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: does that mean for the likes of Cashman and Wakefield

43
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: and others like you. Well, I think it was a

44
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity to add value to our clients and

45
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: helping them think about this new world that we're facing. Right. So,

46
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: we believe that the office is a critical part of

47
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: how companies do business, how they create value in particular,

48
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: and so we fundamentally think there's intrinsic value to the

49
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: office place. Really, the question is what are the kinds

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: of things we're doing in the office and how does

51
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: behavior change from a leasing perspective as we go into

52
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: this new normal. Um. The fact that we're finding that

53
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: despite some of the structural changes we anticipate, such as

54
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: work from home to emerge, that the office sector does

55
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: recover from a demand perspective, to me was a really

56
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: strong finding and indicative of the fact that many companies

57
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: view office as part of the broader ecosystem that will

58
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: allow them to achieve the goals that they have as company.

59
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: But it's interesting, you know, we've we've heard a lot

60
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: of corporate leaders in New York City calling for companies

61
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: that bring their employers back, open up the city again.

62
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: Yet it just seems like, you know, just the people

63
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: I talked to, they say Okay, maybe I'll go back

64
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: into the city, but it ain't gonna be five days

65
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: a week. This work at home from thing works just fine.

66
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: So is it going to be a sense that there

67
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: will be some permanent change. Absolutely absolutely. And you know,

68
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: in the right now we're in what I call the

69
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: adrenaline Russias COVID nineteen right, so we're dealing with competing

70
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: forces of trying to figure out what's going on with

71
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: schools and folks who need to maybe take care of

72
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: their their parents. Right. A huge concern is I need

73
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: to go take um groceries on the weekend and I

74
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: don't want to be exposed and put purt risk. So

75
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: we have a lot of that going on. And this

76
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: report really looked at different scenarios where we do find

77
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: ourselves in a post COVID world, defined as a world

78
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: where we have a medical solution such that we can

79
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: really subside in terms of the level of fear of

80
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: the virus. But to your point, we absolutely believe there

81
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: will be long term changes and a majority of those

82
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: are in the evolution of what we call agile working

83
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: or part time at home, part time in third places,

84
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: and part time in the office. We we think a

85
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: minority of the folks who work from home will ultimately

86
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 1: be permanently there. Most people want to be in the office.

87
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: Most people want to be in the office a few

88
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: days a week. So it's really that evolution that we

89
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: expect to be long lasting in nature, and which we

90
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: tried to quantify in this report. Here are two statistics

91
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: that really jumped out at me. Rebecca, US office vacancy

92
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: is expected to rise steadily and peak at seventeen point

93
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: six percent. But get this by mid twenty two, so

94
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 1: not even next year, but presumably well after we already

95
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: have a vaccine. And you also found that asking rents

96
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: are expected to decline by nine point three peak to twelve. First,

97
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't seem like that big of a decline if

98
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: we're looking at nearly a fifth of office space going

99
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: away until mid two. Are these in the major urban

100
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: centers and so on? Sure? Well, I think from the

101
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: vacancy rate perspective, it's important to note that we were

102
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: really at a low point for the cycle at just

103
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: under thirteen percent, So the increase is really relative to

104
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: that which was consistent with prior sort of peas of

105
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: expansions in terms of the pre COVID level of vacancy.

106
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: So we are expecting this shift upwards by about four

107
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: hundred fifty four HERD sixty basis points. And that's really

108
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,239
Speaker 1: that is the increase that is putting the downward pressure

109
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: on rental rates um so that that effect is something

110
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: that we expect to play out differently across cities. One

111
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: of the things we do find is that, and this

112
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: is consistent with history as well, suburban market the rents

113
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: there be less elastic, they tend to move less during

114
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: down cycles, and our our city central city rents do

115
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: tend to move by a little bit more in our

116
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: findings were consistent with that as well. Rebecca, thank you.

117
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: Presumably there'll be more studies like this and we will

118
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: continue to keep in touch with you and here more.

119
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: Rebecca Rocky is Global ahead of Forecasting for Kushman and Wakefield,

120
00:06:54,440 --> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: joining us today. As we approach the elections, there's in

121
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: the plomban discussion on the Wall Street don't what a

122
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: possible Joe Biden presidency would mean for economic policy for

123
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: financial markets. To get some answers to those questions, we

124
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: welcome Edmund Phelps. Edmund is a Nobel laureate and director

125
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: of the Center on Capitalism in Society at Columbia University,

126
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: Professor Phelps, Thanks so much for joining us. What do

127
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: you What are your thoughts here? Should former Vice President

128
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: Joe Biden win the election, Well, certainly hope you will

129
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: win the election. I think the economy really depends on it.

130
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: I've just been um very disturbed over over these past

131
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: years to see uh Trump's attempts to to guide to

132
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: guide the economy, to intervene right and left. This creates

133
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: enormous uncertainty. That's very bad for investment, and it's very

134
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: bad for innovation. And innovation has already been suffering for

135
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: quite a few decades. But with innovators won't get a

136
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: chance to breathe. So I think I think it's very

137
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: important that we vote out the Trump administration and give

138
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: a new group a chance. So that I first saw

139
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: your article in The Guardian, the editorial and the Guardian

140
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: and then later on a sort of a paper almost

141
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: if you like, in Project to Syndicate, and you basically

142
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: start off by excoriating President Trump's policy, you know, quote

143
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: unquote economic policy, because, as you say, he practices Mussolini's

144
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: doctrine of corporatism, the government as poppet master pulling the

145
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: strings of poppet companies. You also go on to talk

146
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: about as populist rhetoric not translating into better pay for

147
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: less advantage workers or victims of discrimination. And you have

148
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: a whole sort of takedown of President's Trump's economic plans

149
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: or actions. But why aren't we hearing more from Biden

150
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: about what he would do? So, yes, we know that

151
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: he's offering pell grounds to everybody and so on, but

152
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: we're not getting a really developed economic platform as far

153
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: as I can see. Well, I think that Biden has

154
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: h shown an interest in, um doing something about the

155
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: wages at the bottom in this country, which have been

156
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: a have continued to be a terrible problem for decades.

157
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: I think I think he has shown interest in addressing

158
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: the poor, core rewards going to to the least advantage

159
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: in the country. And um, I think maybe your question

160
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: is pointed to what do we hear from Biden about

161
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: investment and innovation? Well, I think I think he's I

162
00:09:54,040 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: think he's shown some definitely shown some awareness of the

163
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: need for picking up innovation. And of course, in the

164
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: long term, you can't have sustained high investment if you

165
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: don't have underlying innovation going on. So I think it's

166
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: fair to say that Biden grown up in his his

167
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: seventy something years. He's grown up in the economy, and

168
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: he understands what's going on. He understands the weakness of

169
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: the economy, he understand slow growth, and uh, you know,

170
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: there have been a hundred things that he's had to

171
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: talk about, and maybe he's not not talked enough about

172
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: investment innovation, but he has done some talking on economic justice,

173
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: which is the other grand theme of mine. Yes, and

174
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: I understand that, and I appreciate that you say that

175
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: he displays an awareness. But the month has been a

176
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: politician his entire life, and surely he has ideas for

177
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: what he would do to redirect funds in the economy,

178
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: and not just on the corporate innovation side, but also,

179
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: as you say, to translate you know, current politics in

180
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 1: the situation into better pay for less advantage workers, victims, discrimination,

181
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: erase economic justice injustices and so on. He's not coming

182
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: out with any of that. Is he too scared that

183
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: that will alienate some of the demographics that he might need. Uh,

184
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: I'm not a politician. I'm not even a political scientist.

185
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: I really wouldn't venture. I wouldn't want to venture a

186
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: guest on that at all. All right, So so Edmund,

187
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: give us the thoughts just real quickly here. On trade,

188
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: that's been a big issue for President Trump. How do

189
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: you see a Biden prenency as it relates to economic trade? Oh? Well,

190
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: I think it. The Trump's position towards trade has been

191
00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: another contributor to um poor economic performance. Being able to

192
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,479
Speaker 1: trade with the rest of the world is awfully helpful

193
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: in developing new products, in finding markets for new investment.

194
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: It's hard to imagine high prosperity in the American economy

195
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: without without very considerable amounts of international trade, foreign trade.

196
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: And of course another thing is that Trump has gotten

197
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: in the way of bringing in highly qualified people to

198
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: engage in uh innovation in the American economy. Silicon Valley

199
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: is being starved of of the of of much of

200
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: the talent that it needs. UM. I saw the other

201
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: day that about trade and immigration, I saw that three

202
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: thousand companies are now suing the White House over the

203
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: tariffs that have been instituted by the Trump administration. So

204
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: that just that just is an indication of how oppressive

205
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: and how retarding uh Trump's influence has been on the economy. Well, professor,

206
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: thank you for that. We definitely hope to hear more

207
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: from Joe Biden. Of course, the first debate is next Tuesday,

208
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: and I imagine that there will be a portion on

209
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: economic plans and for anybody who's interested in this, the

210
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: economic case for Biden by Professor edmund S. Phelps, Nobel

211
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: Laureate and of course from Columbia University as well, Legended

212
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: Our Lifetimes really is both on Project Syndicate and in

213
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: the Guardian and Paul, I think it's important. I think

214
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: we need some details. Were fewer than fourty days away

215
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: from the selection, and both candidates need to step it

216
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: up with the actual concrete proposals. Well, Vonnie, we are

217
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: so fortunate to have on a regular basis of good

218
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: folks of Johns Hopkins University come on and help us

219
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: get a little bit smarter about this virus and potential therapy,

220
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 1: potential vaccines. Today we're joined by Lauren Sauer at the

221
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Johns Hopkins University. H Lauren,

222
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us here. You know, the

223
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: new story I guess I heard today is something called

224
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: interfere on as a possible new treatment. To educate us

225
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: on kind of what you think this might mean. Yeah,

226
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: the two studies that came out recently on interfere on,

227
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: we're really exciting to see. And I think, um, what

228
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: I had seen, what I've seen briefly is that this

229
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: may The scientists who did the studies feel that this

230
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: may um account for nearly fifteen fourteen or fifteen percent

231
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: of the severe COVID cases. Um. What they're seeing is

232
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: that this sort of lack of interfere on and the

233
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: body is helping to facilitate severe disease. So people are

234
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: getting sicker. Um. The good thing about it is that

235
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: we have used interference, especially synthetic interference, for a long

236
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: time for other diseases, and so UM, if we can

237
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: target these at risk patients and use some of this

238
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: research to identify them early, um, we may be able

239
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: to treat them quickly with therapies that we already have

240
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: in our tool kit for other diseases. And it's particularly

241
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: amazing if it ends up being all true and the

242
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: research proves itself out, because it's the type of thing

243
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: that hits young people. And also it means that it

244
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: might save you from going on respirator, which we all know.

245
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: Then you know, it is a whole other stage in

246
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: this illness. When might we know something about the effectiveness

247
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: of of an interfere on you know, rehabilitation scheme if

248
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: you like. Yeah, so, and the studies that came out

249
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: are already telling us that interfe treatment may be an

250
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: effective option. UM. The new arm of the NIH Adaptive

251
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: Trial Act is also an interfere on study. And I

252
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: would imagine that there's lots of interfere on UM studies

253
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: across the country and possibly across the globe. UM, there's

254
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm just too doing interfere on specific studies, especially when

255
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: you're thinking these studies may target or only enroll people

256
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: with severe disease. UM. We are seeing more outpatients with

257
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: COVID and peer severe disease at least where I am UM,

258
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: and so focusing on enrolling those patients into the clinical

259
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: trials quickly and efficiently, both to hopefully save lives but

260
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: also to really better understand the mechanism is critical right now. So, Lauren,

261
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: it appears the data remains stupornly high in terms of

262
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: new cases. UM, yet perhaps the death rate is declining.

263
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: Is that kind of your understanding some of the data

264
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: we're starting to see more recently. Yeah. I think one

265
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: of the things we're seeing is that, UM, we're we

266
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: are getting patients out of the hospital quicker, which is great, UM,

267
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: and that may be I think we're gonna need a

268
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: lot of long term studies to understand why that's happening.

269
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: But a big piece of it maybe that we're getting

270
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: better at managing these patients because we're learning more about

271
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: the course of illness and the course of disease. So UM,

272
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: we're keeping people from entering into that severe disease state,

273
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, off of ventilator, UM, off of those high

274
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: flow oxygen needs, because we're managing their earlier or or

275
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: we're identifying them earlier and we're managing them better in

276
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: the hospital and getting them not quicker. So, Lauren, we

277
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: were talking yesterday about people in the UK proactively getting

278
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: injected or or infected with coronavirus in order to try

279
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: and help studies these people, I mean, are they risking

280
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:46,959
Speaker 1: long term consequences? I think they absolutely are. The challenge

281
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: study model that UM talking about that we're seeing in

282
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: the UK. UM is a model that we've used in

283
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: other diseases to better understand UM how vaccines work, so

284
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: that it's a controlled environment and we understand the exposure,

285
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: We understand the course of the disease and exactly where

286
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: in the disease process of patients or the participants get

287
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: the vaccine UM and what their exposure level is after

288
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: getting the vaccine. The hard part in this situation is

289
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: that we don't have a really good therapeutic toolkit, so

290
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: if something goes wrong with these patients UM, we don't

291
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: have a great a series of great options to treat them,

292
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: so that that is a higher risk than than you

293
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 1: would want in a challenge study. And there's a lot

294
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: of ongoing community transmission in many places across the globe,

295
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: so there are opportunities to do vaccine trials the right

296
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: way in a well controlled environment, understanding community transmission without

297
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: putting people deliberately at risk and exposing them to to

298
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: the coronavirus. So it's a risk that we're taking unnecessarily.

299
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: So Lauren, again I'm just going to ask us to

300
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: try to triangulate around timing. Is it still fair to

301
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: suspect that we will that some series of vaccines will

302
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: be available sometime early next year, maybe late this year,

303
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: but it will take time after that to kind of

304
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: figure out what's most effective. Is that's still the way

305
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: to think about it. Yeah, I think that early next

306
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: year is probably on target for a few of these vaccines. UM.

307
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: We're seeing the Phase three trials happen right now, We're

308
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: seeing good data come in. I think the challenges that

309
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: scale up piece so UM. Once a vaccine can it

310
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 1: goes through the process, we still have the regulatory environment

311
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: for getting that approval from the FDA. For example. UM.

312
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: There is discussion of you of using the Emergency used

313
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: authorization in the interim space between UM or preliminary data

314
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: from the Phase three trials and getting approval from the

315
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: UM for the vaccine to roll out more broadly. But

316
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 1: we also have to consider scale up of manufacturing, distribution plans,

317
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: prioritizing the people who will receive it, what are the

318
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: most important populations UM, And so there's a lot of

319
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: things that have to happen between now and a massive

320
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: rollout of the vaccine trial. And I think mid to

321
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: late and mid to the end of next year is

322
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: probably reasonable for large scale rollout. Lawrence, thank you as

323

Speaker 1: always absolutely love getting your updates straight from you know,

324

Speaker 1: by visiting with them dot com. So it's time to

333
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: talk commodities. Some are seeing good news, some are not

334
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: seeing so much good news. Let's bring in Mike McGlone,

335
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: who knows all about the precious metals and also precious

336
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: metals and every other commodity out there. He's commodity strategist

337
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: for Bloomberg Intelligence. Mike, we haven't talked too much about

338
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: China recently, mainly because apart from TikTok and ouricle and

339
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: so on, there haven't been many trade developments. But at

340
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: the same time, underlying commodities are moving still because of this.

341
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: For example, China went on a buying spree and so

342
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: that seems to have revived export profits for some top

343
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: crop traders. So that's good news, right, Are we seeing

344
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: prices reflect that? Oh? Certainly in soybeans tiganium, Yes, so

345
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: I means that ten dollars a bush, so they're up

346
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: about five percent in the year they got about ten thirty.

347
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,719
Speaker 1: That's been a good sign. It's almost completely on exports

348
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: because it's a big crop this year, not really swabeans,

349
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 1: but corn, so that's a big deal. And also the

350
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: market's anticipating the potential peak in the dollar, and the

351
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: US now exports about swabeans, so the value of the dollar,

352
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: the value of the Brazilian real is a big thing.

353
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: Just the fact that the China has been back in

354
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: has been good in crops, it's really better take taking

355
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: them off the bottom. But for new highs to really

356
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: go up for more strength, eggs need a peak dollar,

357
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: all right. So but also look at the dollar index

358
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,199
Speaker 1: here at ninety four. That's not peaked. Dollar isn't no

359
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: hit all um, And it's really and from from the

360
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: egg standpoint, we watched the trade weighted broad dollar because

361
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: the dollar index is six almost two thirds Euro trade

362
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: weighted broad is mostly China's China. It doesn't take every day,

363
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: but gives you a good indication. The key thing is

364
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: what's been really driving that strong dollar the last ten

365
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: years ago, so is the out performance the US stock market.

366
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: So we're seeing lately is a bit of a divergence.

367
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: There's been flows into commanities. Commanies are outperforming during this

368
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: last little sloon correction in the stock markets. The key

369
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: is Greggs and Eggs aren't really going to really matter

370
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: to the stock market so much. But in copper, that's

371
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: been a key thing I've been watching. Copper is the

372
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: highest correlation to the stock market ever in a fifty

373
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: two weeks twelve one basis and it's really not and

374
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: it's still hanging around three dollars a pound versus the

375
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: ten percent correction in nansect. That's a good sign that

376
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: maybe we're seeing some divergence. I think people are looking

377
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: more for the physical assets, not just gold, silver, platinum plate,

378
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: and not just sup precious but more the base metals

379
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: like copper. Well, I was going to say, with the

380
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: exception actually of gold, which seems to really have just

381
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: gone and got its cold and left the room, right Mike.

382
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: In the short term, gold still up in the year.

383
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: In the unchanged Bitcoin is up in there. So my

384
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: bias at the beginning here was the quasi currencies gold

385
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: and bitcoin should continue to outperform. I don't see why

386
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: I should change that. The gold just got a little

387
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: bit extended. You know, it was fifty it was well

388
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: above is fifty two eight me and the highest and

389
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: a long time. It's it's it's consolidating the bull market

390
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: that way I see it. Right now. It's going to

391
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,640
Speaker 1: back up in the good sport around eighteen hundred dollars

392
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: and ounced. But if you look at the foundation for

393
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: gold rapidly rise in US debt to the GDP and

394
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: increase in CHEWI on a global SCS scale, it's unprecedented

395
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: goal has a very solid foundation for the next five

396
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: ten years. And just help us revisit the bull case

397
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: for bitcoin. We can talk bitcoin. Vannie doesn't have a

398
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: no bitcoin policy like Tom peen Um. So give us

399
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: that bull case for bitcoin again, Mike. Bottom line very

400
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: and supply actually less potentially less supply than gold. Higher

401
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: prices will not bring on more supply, and then it's

402
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: about demand. So all my indications for demand are higher,

403
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: and bitcoin has been becoming adopted in the space. There's

404
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: more and more people getting in there. The main indications

405
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: are quite positive. Futures open, interest um, exchange traded products

406
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: coming on for and and addresses used and things like that.

407
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: So bitcoins is getting there. The cool thing about bitcoins

408
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 1: has had a significant correction and it's had a period

409
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: of disdain, and so that's us you a good foundation

410
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: for higher prices. And the correlation between bitcoin and gold

411
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: is the highest ever depending on how you measure it.

412
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: So I see bitcoin is becoming a digital version of gold.

413
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: It's just more of a kind of a baby and

414
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: it's catching up. It's taking baby steps now at the moment. Well,

415
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: I on that note, would like to compare Etherium with bitcoin,

416
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: and so if you look at returns over the last year,

417
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: ethereum is up on Bitcoin, up versus the US dollar.

418
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: Does that just suggest that bitcoin is a little more

419
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: mature as a cryptocurrency. It is, and there's a big difference.

420
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: Ethereum kind of part of the whole other crypto space,

421
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: and there's seven thousand of them Ethereum is the number

422
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: two cryptocurrency, but if you look at the current trends,

423
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,959
Speaker 1: a theorem will be surpassed next year by the stable

424
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: coin tether. So ethereum has got good and things that

425
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: has going for it is defied decentralized finances finance, and

426
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: the dex is decentralized exchanges. Theorems like the first platform

427
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: for that, but it has a lot of competition. Theorium

428
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: got a little bit expensive around five hundred. It's meeting

429
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,479
Speaker 1: good support around three hundred. But I think their overall

430
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: bias is towards and continued to increase. But Bitcoin should

431
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: continue to outperform the overall broad market. And the problem

432
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: is there's just too much supply in the broad crypto market.

433
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: So Mike, we can't let you go without talking the

434
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: soft commodities, agricultural. Do we have evidence? I mean, is

435
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 1: this market now just completely driven by China on? China off?

436
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: Is that kind of the only thing we need to

437
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: focus on. It's right now, it is China has really

438
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: helped bring it out of the dull drums, and we

439
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: had multi year lows, lows and corns just a few

440
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: months ago, and soybeans are getting pretty beat up. Yet

441
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: we have a you know, have a pretty good crop.

442
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: But this year, actually the revisions for the U s

443
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: productions actually come down since that August report, so it's

444
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: a good sign it's going that way. But I don't

445
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: see US sauce i e. Corn soy means really having

446
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: a good bullmark until the dollar peaks, because the US

447
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: now exports more than of its soy it means and

448
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: over its wheat. So the dollar really matters there. Well,

449
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean just on the US. You know, how can

450
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: the dollar peak again or even get much stronger when

451
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: the Chinese have the yuan trading around you know, six

452
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: eight at this point and looking to go even lower

453
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: i e. Stronger. Well, so the the un has actually

454
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 1: been strengthening recently because it's six eight used to be

455
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: seven recently. But the key thing you remember from the

456
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: dollar standpoint is the dollars measured against other other other currencies,

457
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: which are all paper currencies, and that's where you come

458
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: to the physical assets like most notably the medals, the gold,

459
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: the bitcoins of the world. They're rising versus all paper currencies.

460
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: So it's that race for cheaper currencies. Everybody's queueing everybody's

461
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: at zero rates, which means physical assets like copper and

462
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: gold and bitcoin are gaining that value. And that's what

463
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: I see going forward, and hopefully that'll trickle down to

464
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: the other commodities. It's just probably not going to trickle

465
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: up to crude oil because there's too much supply and

466
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: we all know the trend in decarbonization. Really quick, I'm

467
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,719
Speaker 1: gonna slip in a discussion about cattle. What's going on?

468
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: How's the herd look? Yes, sorry, that's one thing I

469
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: don't watch much of cattle, Paul, I'm sorry about that one.

470
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,200

472

475
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,800

476
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: to be shifting around much Pole. Of course I looked

477
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: it up. It's LC one. If you want the genericat

478
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure every farmer out there would say that no
