Global News twenty four hours 252 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: a day on air and on Bloomberg Quicktate, powered by 253 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: more than twenty seven hundred journalists and analysts and more 254 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: than one d twenty countries. Michael Barr, this is Bloomberg 255 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: Anham all right, Michael, thanks at six nineteen on Wall 256 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: Street Live from the Bloomberg Interactor Broker Studios. This is 257 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Daybreak. Because we continue to watch shares of Facebook 258 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: company meta platforms, the parent down more than twenty percent, 259 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: down more than twenty and a half percent now in 260 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: the pre market on disappointing earnings. Set to lose about 261 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: a hundred eighty billion dollars in market value if these 262 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: numbers hold at the open joining US now. Mandeep Singh, 263 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: senior tech analysts for Bloomberg Intelligence, obviously a lot of 264 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: skittishness from investors over the drop in subscribers, the first 265 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: time of investors have seen that in quite some time. 266 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: And the outlook going forward, Man deep, Yeah, Look, I 267 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: mean I think given Facebook scale, I think the deceleration 268 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: would have been okay had they not spooked the investors 269 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: in terms of the overall strategy ships. So they called 270 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: out this big pivot to videos to catch up to 271 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: you know, TikTok and YouTube, and I think the wave 272 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: was communicated is how it probably didn't come across as 273 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,479 Speaker 1: something that they should have you know, noted earlier. And suddenly, 274 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: you know, they come out and say that's their entire focus. 275 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: And along with Metaverse, which is losing ten billion dollars 276 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: a year. I mean, when you look at this company, 277 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: the margin profile has changed completely. Now the core business 278 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: was about operating margins guess what going forward, it will 279 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: be more and that is why you see such a 280 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: strong reaction. I guess with the violence of this move, 281 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: it begs the obvious question, man deep, whether this is overdone? Well, 282 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: so think of it. You know, in terms of top line, Look, 283 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: if Facebook's top line is decelerating, it what it tells 284 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: us is probably the whole social media ad space is 285 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: going down. And it has some connections to the overall 286 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: growth in GDP and economy as well. But and and 287 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: that will bounce back, you know eventually once GDP and 288 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: you know, uh, advertisers start to come back. If the 289 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: engagement and given Facebook scale, you would expect, you know, scales, 290 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: growth will bounce eventually. The problem, as I said, is 291 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: one they have engagement problems, so they are definitely losing 292 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: engagement with the younger demographic. The other is the change 293 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: in business model. So now if they start to pay 294 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: creators for the content they're creating, it's the model is 295 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: very similar to YouTube, and YouTube's gross margins are around 296 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: and right now Facebook's gross margins are eighty percent, so 297 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: that margin differential is huge. And if they're saying they're 298 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: completely pivoting to videos and that's their sole focus. And 299 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: and then you lear that, you know, with the I 300 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: d FA changes, that has heard Facebook's at targeting. So 301 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: there are multiple things that play here, But structurally it 302 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: feels like Facebook isn't the same company anymore that it 303 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: used to be in terms of the margin trofile, Are 304 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: you implying with focus on video that the that the 305 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 1: Facebook should be focusing somewhere else besides video? It does 306 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: seem like the competition from TikTok has really gotten a 307 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: lot of the attention here. Yes, so it is a 308 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: crowded market and you've got two scale players in the 309 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: form of TikTok and YouTube. Well, uh, we know Facebook 310 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: has the scale thriblliant users across its they may be 311 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 1: better off focusing on their market place business or e 312 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: commerce business. Yes, they have to fix engagement and they're 313 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: investing a lot in metavers to do that. Nobody knows 314 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: how that bet will play out, but we know it's 315 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: losing ten billion dollars a year in terms of the 316 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: operating loss, and so really right now it's a hope 317 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: based strategy. If you're a Facebook investor, you're just hoping 318 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: that they get it right with meta worse and you know, 319 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: over time it fixes the engagement issues, but beyond that, 320 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: the fundamentals of the business have deteriorated, and the pivot 321 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: to videos isn't gonna help, you know, in terms of 322 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 1: the margin profile, and they're way behind TikTok and YouTube 323 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: at this point of time. Now, last minute here, Mandy, 324 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: if it seemed like CEO Mark Zuckerberg was really leaning 325 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: in asking investors to bear with them on the hope 326 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 1: based strategy. Does that aboute more volatility for Facebook in 327 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: the months to come? Well, so, not only Facebook, I 328 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: think the entire higher social media space has been heard 329 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: by the Apple's I d FA changes, and so I 330 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: think Facebook is still in a better position to handle it. 331 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: They have, you know, the resources to redesign their at 332 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: targeting infrastructure, which is what they called that last night. 333 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: The smaller ones like Snap, like Twitter, they I think 334 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: more so Snap and Pinterest they're gonna be hurt more 335 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: because guess what did they have to redesign their algorithms 336 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: and at targeting that that will be a bigger burden 337 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: in terms of operating costs compared to Facebook.

More than a hundred twenty countries. I'm Michael Barr. 395 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg. The following commentary is from Bloomberg Opinion 396 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: Foreign Affairs. I'm Jonathan Bernstein, the columnist for Bloomberg Opinion. 397 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: In will developments abroad in Iran, for example, become campaign 398 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: issues and effect the outcomes of the elections, Hardly anyone 399 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: will change their vote regardless of what happens with, say, 400 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: the Iran Deal. There's little evidence that international political events, 401 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: even fairly dramatic ones, have much of an influence on 402 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: presidential popularity back home. The one big exception is that 403 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: war is producing US casualties do usually hurt a president's 404 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: popularity over time. That said, candidates do talk about foreign 405 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: affairs during campaigns, and campaign promises can be very important, 406 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: whether they change election outcomes or not. In part, these 407 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: promises come about simply because candidates for federal office want 408 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: to demonstrate competence in these areas. But another reason is 409 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: because some groups within the parties care a lot about 410 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: foreign policy. Winning support from those groups may be important 411 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: for winning nominations, so candidates will try to align their 412 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: policy preferences and priorities with them and talk about those 413 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: issues regardless of what voters think.

Antarctica is 430 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: so called Doomsday glacier nickname because it is huge and 431 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: coming apart, is mostly thwarting an international effort to figure 432 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: out how dangerously vulnerable it is. A large iceberg broke 433 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: off the deteriorating the way it's glacier, and along with 434 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: sea ice, it is blocking to research ships with dozens 435 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,479 Speaker 1: of scientists from examining how fast it's crucial ice shelf 436 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: is falling apart.

We're live from the Bloomberg Interactive 443 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: Broker studios where it's six fifty two on Wall Street 444 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: Time Now to check what's going on in d C. 445 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: Some of the top stories in our nation's capital include 446 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: President Biden discussing Russia's true build up with French President McCraw, 447 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: tough questions ahead for the President's federal reserve picks, and 448 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: Democrats getting a reminder of their fragile grip with a 449 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,239 Speaker 1: senator ailing. Also making news, President Biden about to head 450 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: to New York City to try to seize the narrative 451 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: on rising crime, joining us from Washington, Bloomberg government reporter 452 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,439 Speaker 1: Emily Wilkins. So, Emily get a set for this meeting 453 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: today between the President and the new mayor of New 454 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: York City. Yes, so we're going to see Biden headed 455 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: up to New York City, uh, having an event with 456 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: Eric Adams and focusing that eventually on support for the police. 457 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 1: And this comes after Democrats had this really awful election 458 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 1: in Yeah, they elected Biden, but Democrats down ballot were 459 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: very much hurt by this perception that they did not 460 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: support the police. And we have seen a recent higher 461 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,880 Speaker 1: ways of crime in numerous cities across the country, including 462 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: a DC including New York and Joe Biden and Eric Adams, 463 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: their messages are going to put out there today is 464 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: that they are supportive of the police. Um As President 465 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: Biden actually said at a campaign event last week on 466 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: Friday that he wanted to have more funding for the police, 467 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: something he's put forward now. Of course, there are progressives 468 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: within the Democratic Party that do want to see reduced 469 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: funding that role funding for officers. UM. So we're going 470 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: to be watching very closely the government funding bill that's 471 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: being worked on by Congress right now, that's got a 472 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 1: deadline of February, and so we're seeing what sort of 473 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: proposals they have and how it if funding for police 474 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: officers changes. Now interesting to think about the potential for 475 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: another spotlight on a rift within the Democratic Party on 476 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: that issue. But ahead of this trip Emily, we're seeing 477 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: more diplomacy, more troop movements in the crisis over Ukraine. Yes, 478 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: so the US has announced that another two thousand soldiers 479 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,719 Speaker 1: are going to travel from the US to Europe, and 480 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: then another thousand troops that are in Germany are now 481 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 1: going to be deployed in Romania. Of the White House 482 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: is saying that these moves are temporary. Russia's criticized the decision, 483 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: but it's really come as you know, both sides are 484 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: still waiting trying to see is Putin going to indeed 485 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,880 Speaker 1: what does he go going to do. The US's goal 486 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: here has to put up a very strong, very aggressive front, 487 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: trying to show that you know, if Fressia decides to 488 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 1: move in Ukraine, they are very serious about having this 489 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: immediate action. Diplomatic channels that you still seeing Biden talking 490 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: with world leaders most recently. On Wednesday night, he spoke 491 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: with French President Macron Uh They both pledged their teams 492 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: would remain in close touch UM and worked together if 493 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 1: Plutin was to invade Ukraine. Back in Washington, a lot 494 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: of focus this morning on the Federal Reserve, particularly with 495 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: the President's FED governor picks going up for confirmation and 496 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: just about two hours here. Yes, we're expecting a very 497 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: interesting hearing today. Definitely a lot of tough questionings, particularly 498 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: from Republicans on the panel.

With numerous questions. Other 506 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: than that, we're absolutely expecting questions about inflation. That's been 507 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: a huge issue going forward UM, as well as just 508 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: other other items with the economy as the US kind 509 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: of tries to pull out of the position the pandemic 510 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: put the US in and just quickly, Emily, we've seen 511 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: just how fragile the Democratic majority is in the Senate 512 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: with the stroke suffered by one of the Democratic members 513 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: there has it affected the timetable, the calendar for the 514 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: legislative session. So at this point, one of the big 515 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: questions I think is what is going to be happening 516 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: with the Supreme Court pix.
