Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. Here to briefast this
Speaker 1: morning with a new Pittsburgh Pirates cap is Dan Ives
Speaker 1: for those of you on radio, You're lucky.
Speaker 2: What's the p on your hat?
Speaker 3: It's Arnold Palmer hat from Arna Palmer torn him big,
Speaker 3: big Arma Palmer fan.
Speaker 1: Let's get this out of the way. You signed as
Speaker 1: a chairman of a crypto thing this week. Explain what
Speaker 1: the game is you're doing there?
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: So you know we announce that I'm gonna be chairman
Speaker 3: of ECO and AKO. You know is you know when
Speaker 3: you think about Sam Altman in the build out of World,
Speaker 3: what Dave essentially done is it's really gonna be the
Speaker 3: infrastructure authentication for AI in the future. And you know,
Speaker 3: I was a huge believer in this. You know, I'm
Speaker 3: not taking this on just for any crypto.
Speaker 1: Is that equity in this a bias? Is a rasearch channelist?
Speaker 1: This is a sidecard deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is This is a total separate initiative, uh,
Speaker 3: you know, total separate from my web bush. But but
Speaker 3: Tom factors really into my view of the AI revolution.
Speaker 3: I'm doing this because I think this is gonna be
Speaker 3: the factor standard for really you're going.
Speaker 2: To take a minority interest in perplexity.
Speaker 3: If they called you, we need as long as it
Speaker 3: comes through Keen.
Speaker 4: Earlier this week was a corrugated packaging company.
Speaker 3: It basically is a treasury vehicle for world Coin in
Speaker 3: terms of what we've done, and that's why I think,
Speaker 3: you know, receptions obviously been great. You know we raised
Speaker 3: capital and cuz that this morning, Okay, it was super
Speaker 3: exciting to just put another you want to.
Speaker 4: Talk, which is a workin It's a means of authentication.
Speaker 4: You have your iris scan to know that you're the
Speaker 4: person that you say you are.
Speaker 2: Glad you know, Well, okay, that's enough the orb for community.
Speaker 2: Next time, What did mag five learned from the Oracle
Speaker 2: pop last night?
Speaker 3: This AI party, it's ten pm going to four am.
Speaker 3: I mean, the point is the infrastructure was that's gonna
Speaker 3: be a historic quarter when you look at orcle and
Speaker 3: it shows the type of cap backs we're seeing and
Speaker 3: the use cases are exploding. We've talked about so much here.
Speaker 2: In the Change My Life. I mean, as simple as
Speaker 2: that look.
Speaker 3: And the reality is anyone that thinks hype not real, right,
Speaker 3: that oracle number is a validation. That's a drop the
Speaker 3: mic from Saffra and Ellison. That shows to me, Okay,
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen? The rest attack and it's abrahma.
Speaker 1: Did we have a drop the moment with mister Cook yesterday?
Speaker 1: I tuned in for twelve seconds. It's so manipulated. I
Speaker 1: can't watch it. You and had Ludlow saw it. Were
Speaker 1: your thumbs up, like Gene Munster.
Speaker 3: Look, it's a thumbs up relative to I think expectations.
Speaker 3: Our view here is that the elf in the room
Speaker 3: continues to be as we talk about AI. But I
Speaker 3: do believe with the DOJ Google situation, now you know
Speaker 3: in the rearview mirror they will down. Then that's going
Speaker 3: to be ultimately their AI partnership. But in terms of
Speaker 3: the actual iPhone, look, three hundred million plus have an
Speaker 3: upgrade four plus years. The point is this is going
Speaker 3: to be includes John Tucker, including Talker. So if you
Speaker 3: think about on a scale one to ten from an
Speaker 3: upgrade cycle supercycle being a ten, it's probably gonna be
Speaker 3: about an eight point five. But what I tell you
Speaker 3: is the street right now numbers are conservative New York
Speaker 3: City cab driver or uber is still barish on Apple,
Speaker 3: and I think that to me sets it up well
Speaker 3: as well as you add AI and they actually make
Speaker 3: a big move there. You tell about another you know,
Speaker 3: one hundred dollars per share to the stock.
Speaker 4: What does Apple have to do when it comes to AI?
Speaker 4: So I look at Meta for instance, and they pay
Speaker 4: a lot of money. They're hiring a lot of big
Speaker 4: name people. And I think if you look at the
Speaker 4: history of Apple that had a bad luck of bringing
Speaker 4: in outside talent, particularly the executive level, to mix things
Speaker 4: up and to change things around. Are they able to
Speaker 4: do that? What do they have to do to kind
Speaker 4: of re establish themselves here at the vanguard of AI.
Speaker 3: There's a better chance of me playing in Beth paid
Speaker 3: Ryder Cup in September. Then then then AI innovation happening
Speaker 3: from Apple, and I think that's the issue that they
Speaker 3: got to go outside.
Speaker 4: It has to be good to make that work.
Speaker 1: Dan I's with Red Bush with us this morning, David Gerrin,
Speaker 1: Tim Can Good Morning across the Nation and the way
Speaker 1: you listen to us on radio Good Morning ninety to
Speaker 1: nine FM in Boston, on YouTube and your home at
Speaker 1: your office floored by the sign up Thank you so much,
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Podcast, go out to YouTube and subscribe it Bloomberg Podcasts.
Speaker 1: Thank you for your attention to our new dan Ives
Speaker 1: like digital. Maybe I should start wearing bright pink.
Speaker 2: What do you think, David, I could see that. Why
Speaker 2: don't you continue with.
Speaker 3: Mister, I've talked about the pink bowtie for I know what.
Speaker 4: The hoodie beneath the jacket would be a good look
Speaker 4: for you.
Speaker 3: I think I thought dan Ives clothing we could add
Speaker 3: potentially a bow tie and it would be called a.
Speaker 2: Everything is like two X, you know, it's like for
Speaker 2: little people. What's the name of the company.
Speaker 3: It's snow milk.
Speaker 2: My carse snow milk. They got to make like adult
Speaker 2: sizes like we have six.
Speaker 3: I think we go down the route with a keen
Speaker 3: bow tie. I have been I'm actually average a very.
Speaker 2: Good David jump in.
Speaker 4: Can I go back to Oracle? I diverted over to
Speaker 4: to appled love to go back to Oracle? What should
Speaker 4: we make How quickly they were able to make this,
Speaker 4: this pivot, What does it say about sort of the
Speaker 4: future direction of Oracle moving into cloud computing as rapidly
Speaker 4: as it did, as successfully as it did. Certainly, when
Speaker 4: you look at the numbers.
Speaker 3: Guess who's watching quot so you see what they did.
Speaker 3: It's Bennioff, it's Adobee, it's software where right now they're
Speaker 3: not the cool kids table. I mean what Oracle has
Speaker 3: been able to do because of the stack, right it's
Speaker 3: it's been transformational. And I think that more is where
Speaker 3: we're seeing. Everyone wants that. That two to three trillion
Speaker 3: of cat backs, everyone wants it.
Speaker 1: Doug Cass emails in Okay, he's beside himself about the
Speaker 1: Yankees defense.
Speaker 2: They're averaging like three years a game.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's sad. Aaron Judge should be at first base,
Speaker 1: Dan ives. Doug Cass has a question for you, the
Speaker 1: backlog dynamic versus the accounting on the statements.
Speaker 2: Is this an accounting issue to.
Speaker 1: Come not only for Oracle but for other mag seven
Speaker 1: and that there's so much future business that needs to
Speaker 1: adjust in the accounting statement.
Speaker 2: Is that a risk?
Speaker 3: And I hope Doug's doing well. It's a good question.
Speaker 3: I think there's definitely some normalization that's going to have
Speaker 3: to happen there over the coming quarters. So you got
Speaker 3: to normalize it, you know, from a backlock perspective in
Speaker 3: terms of arr look, I think the reality is is
Speaker 3: that over the coming quarters. That's where like look for Oracle,
Speaker 3: if you got if you're the amount of stock that
Speaker 3: could go to three fifty four hundred. You got to
Speaker 3: continue to show this because you as the normalization starts
Speaker 3: to happen, the comps ultimately start take place. You need
Speaker 3: to continue to see that growth.
Speaker 2: You mentioned Google and Gemini. What are they waiting for?
Speaker 3: They were waiting they were waiting for DOJ mean that?
Speaker 3: And now the candlelight dinner could happen between the soon
Speaker 3: Dar and Cook And I believe that is Look because
Speaker 3: I truly and we've talked about if did doo J
Speaker 3: went negative toward an Apple Google, then they have no
Speaker 3: choice called proplexity on the red phone and they have
Speaker 3: to do that deal. But now I think they double
Speaker 3: down the job they're waiting for.
Speaker 2: Is it literally like just Egos, they have to wait
Speaker 2: a little bit of time.
Speaker 3: I think you wait a little time. Look, and we
Speaker 3: also know like in Cooper Tino, there is a part
Speaker 3: of it that runs like a motor vehicle in New Jersey,
Speaker 3: and that's been some of the issue in terms of
Speaker 3: some of the bureaucracy that they're trying to get rid
Speaker 3: of in terms of the red tape.
Speaker 4: Going back to the Oracle numbers, So say Sundor is
Speaker 4: tuning in to watch Romain and number yesterday, care or
Speaker 4: Andy stealing it up in that Seattle? What do they
Speaker 4: make of those Oracle numbers? How much are they worried
Speaker 4: about the progress of the Oracles made here?
Speaker 3: And how did they I think they actually love seeing
Speaker 3: those numbers because they view it. And that's why I
Speaker 3: like what you see with Google's jesz B. It's it's
Speaker 3: a barometer that shows where that's coming. That's why Nadella,
Speaker 3: he's sitting there with the Mimosa right now watching those numbers.
Speaker 1: I mean, do you want to mention Oracles put their
Speaker 1: support by in Bloomberg surveillance. We thank Oracle for their
Speaker 1: support each and every day. What's your single best buy?
Speaker 3: I mean, to me, single best buy here continues to
Speaker 3: be Microsoft just because of my view of because of
Speaker 3: where the hyperscalers are. It's in their backyard. Stock actually
Speaker 3: sold off a little postcord and I think that's one
Speaker 3: they will ultimately join in video what's eventually.
Speaker 2: Gonna be there? Twent this year and you say way more.
Speaker 3: Just to we've talked about it's just to begin. We
Speaker 3: are in the second inning of the Ai Revolution, going
Speaker 3: ninth and we've talked about the party start at nine pm,
Speaker 3: is now ten pm goes to four am on the
Speaker 3: dance for is Nedella Jensen, Pound Teer Carp and others.
Speaker 1: People think guy says a romantic life. Let's make it clear.
Speaker 1: You just got off the romantic red eye.
Speaker 3: I just got off the romainer Carol and Tim. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I was there rocking today and actually I went. I
Speaker 3: went from Australia to Huntington Beach to now here with
Speaker 3: you guys.
Speaker 4: Appreciate that lay flat beds as you were talking about yesterday.
Speaker 2: But he's a little guy. It's like it's a little guy. No, No,
Speaker 2: the lafe flat bed works. There's no light flat bed
Speaker 2: for me. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But the problem is that's why you're the one that
Speaker 3: does like the special cabin in emerates so the player,
Speaker 3: but the keen cabin and the whole king shower in this.
Speaker 2: Disclosure law premiere in France. But it's great.
Speaker 3: It's like a huge cabin, of course, but you set
Speaker 3: a higher standard.
Speaker 2: It does. I don't know, I don't know. Some tennis
Speaker 2: player was sitting next to me.
Speaker 3: It's actually it's actually Keyn's where we all pay rent.
Speaker 1: Dan, thank you for explaining whatever your new business transaction is.
Speaker 1: I still don't get.
Speaker 3: ORBS coming to you soon, and I'll bring it next time. Okay,
