1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: From Mahard where Innovation of Money and Power Collie in 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley NBN. This is Bloomberg Technology with Caroline Hyde 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: and Ed Ludlow. 4 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 2: Now from New York and San Francisco. This is Bloomberg 5 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 2: Technology coming up. Tech stocks lead the markets to new highs. 6 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 3: We discussed the drivers from the elections to earnings and 7 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 3: the FED, and. 8 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 4: We talked chip demand as ARM and Qualcom give mixed 9 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 4: signals about the smartphone market. 10 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,599 Speaker 5: We speak to ARMS CEO Rene Has and. 11 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 2: The c suite take on the election. We speak with 12 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: Andreil's at Palmer Lucky. I'm going to focus on defense tech, 13 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: but first let's just get back to these publicly traded 14 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 2: markets that are at new record highs. I shine a 15 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: light on the Nastak one hundred. It finally reaches that 16 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 2: new record yesterday, eclipsing the number it got to back 17 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 2: in July. 18 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 3: We're at one point three percent. 19 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 2: The likely magnificent sevens drive this benchmark to yet further 20 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 2: heights ahead of the FED. 21 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 3: What are you watching? 22 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 5: End earnings? 23 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 4: But November fifth an astonishing day to report numbers. Right, 24 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 4: Lift is up twenty seven percent off session highs where 25 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 4: it was up thirty percent strong outlook, they're kind of 26 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 4: finding their niche and growth despite big brother Uber also 27 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 4: doing well. Then there's the chip names qual Common, ARM. 28 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 4: They've traded very choppy in the session. Qual Comm was 29 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 4: up a lot, now it's up eight tens percent. Arm 30 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 4: was down, it's now up five and a half percent. 31 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 4: Basically consumers in key markets like China buying higher price 32 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 4: handsets and both benefiting from that. 33 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 5: But we can get into it later in the program 34 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 5: we can. 35 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: And of course China are a key focus for the 36 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,199 Speaker 2: macro perspective going forward. After the results of the election 37 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 2: came through. Let's get an overview of these markets of roombgs, 38 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: Jess meant and just we see big tech leading all 39 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 2: the benchmarks to new highs as well as small caps. 40 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 3: But what keeps your eye, Well. 41 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 6: The big thing is because you'll just touched on when 42 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 6: it comes to Earth. So the biggest player, obviously we'll 43 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 6: have Invidia coming up on November twentieth, but when you 44 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 6: look more specifically at when it comes to some of 45 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 6: its biggest customers, we've already had those earnings when it 46 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 6: comes to Meta, Microsoft, alphabet as Wolls, Amazon, So when 47 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 6: it comes to as far as what in totality when 48 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 6: it comes to what they're plowing into data center binesses 49 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 6: as well as other fixed assets. I mean, it's around 50 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 6: fifty nine billion with those forward companies just in the 51 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 6: third quarter alone, So usually that you can kind of 52 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 6: glean into what that means for in video moving forward. 53 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 3: But obviously on the. 54 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 6: Back of these election results, there's a lot of questions 55 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 6: as far as what this could potentially mean for Biden's 56 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 6: chip back, especially when you think about companies that derive 57 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 6: different manufacturing from overseas like Apple as wolves when it 58 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 6: comes to say China and Biden trying to prohibit them 59 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 6: trying to use Western technology and trying to curb that. 60 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 4: Right now, Caroline, the headline of the band story today 61 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 4: is in video is clear winner in a lackluster big 62 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 4: tech earning season. 63 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 5: Is anyone watching the show? It's been great, Caroline, I've 64 00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 5: had a lot of fun. 65 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 4: The main point is that whatever happens in this next 66 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 4: administration jests, it doesn't kick in for a while. Is 67 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 4: there like a theme of the now of the next 68 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 4: three months, final three months of the year that markets 69 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 4: are looking to well. 70 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 6: Usually the playbook in an election year is typically once 71 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 6: you have the election results. 72 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 3: There tends to be a year. 73 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 6: End rally, but we had quite a bit of a 74 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 6: real not even just when you're thinking about what's happened 75 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 6: tech and growth stocks, but the first three quarters of 76 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 6: this year was the best start to a year for 77 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 6: the S and P five hundred since nineteen ninety seven, 78 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 6: but the Magnetum seven didn't really. 79 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 3: Contribute to that in the third quarter. 80 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 6: Obviously we've seen a bounce back from that, but even 81 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 6: when we heard from Microsoft and Meta's results in recent 82 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 6: weeks on the back of that, we didn't. 83 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: Really see those stocks pop. 84 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 6: But obviously sort of an all tied kind of lifting 85 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 6: bulks here over the last couple of days following those 86 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 6: election results. But moving forward, it's whether or not we 87 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 6: see that playbook and especially the positioning play out in 88 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 6: the final months of the year like we normally would 89 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 6: through history. 90 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 4: Boo bos Jess meant and helping us make sense of 91 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 4: tech in markets, Thank you very much. So what does 92 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 4: Trump two point zero presidency look like for the tech sector? 93 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 4: Dan ives have web shrites. We expect a strong AI 94 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 4: focus out of the gates from Trump for US big 95 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 4: tech players can't out of the FTC and Musk's big 96 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 4: bet on Trump being a home run for Tesla. 97 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 5: Danaves joins us. 98 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 4: Now, Dan, regular viewers of this show and network will 99 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 4: know that much of what I just read out is 100 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 4: not a surprise this that you have this thesis. 101 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 5: But let's start on the AI part. 102 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 4: What gives you such conviction that Trump will focus on 103 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 4: AI out of the game. 104 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 7: I mean, I think that that's going to be a 105 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 7: huge focus within the government. I mean, government's been way 106 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 7: behind when it comes to AI. That's going to be 107 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 7: huge initiatives. I think through D O D, through the agency. 108 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 7: Is that's gonna be borged for Microsoft, borge for Amazon, 109 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 7: borge for good good Google. 110 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 5: Names like par and Teer. 111 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 7: I think that's other names that are going to benefit 112 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 7: here in what is a gordon aede for AI and Palenteer. 113 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 4: There's the link with government. I want to ask you 114 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 4: about Elon Musk, and if you'll allow me, let me 115 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 4: just put it this way. Because the market tried to 116 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 4: make sense of the Tesla move, It's believed that Trump 117 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 4: will repeal some or all of what's legislated for on 118 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 4: the EV consumer incentive side, manufacturing support for the companies themselves, 119 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 4: there's the association tailwind between Musk and Trump. Why is 120 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 4: it that Tesla survives and stands out to your mind, 121 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 4: but gm Ford rivian names like that won't do as well. 122 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 7: Sure, I think it's a great point where it's good 123 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 7: two parts. One by removing the credits seventy five hundred, 124 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 7: that's going to give much more even playing field. I 125 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 7: mean task as a scale and scope, They're going to 126 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 7: be hugely advantaged there versus the Detroit Star Wars. So 127 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 7: that's bullege there in terms of giving them that availability. 128 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 7: And I think option you know, to the automate, they 129 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 7: can still cut prices more. But the big thing, the 130 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 7: reason that this stock, I believe it's a trillion dollars 131 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 7: of value unlocked when it comes to the AIPS because 132 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 7: when you look at Trump, this is going to give 133 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 7: the highway the autobond for autonomous I think he is 134 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 7: going to fast track autonomous FSD. That is very bullish 135 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 7: for Tesla. And it comes down to from Musk one 136 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 7: of the best strategic bets he ever made was ultimately 137 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 7: this bet on Trump. 138 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: It's the technology ready. 139 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 5: I think the. 140 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 7: Technology is not maybe not necessarily ready today in its 141 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 7: current form, but it's going to a point that this 142 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 7: is ultimately going to be. When I look at autonomous 143 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 7: and FSD, it's a trillion dollar incremental valuation. You could 144 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 7: cyber cabs, you could ultimately see twenty twenty six, twenty 145 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 7: seven initiatives, get fast tracked. 146 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 5: Tesla. 147 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 7: Musk is the big winner in this called Trump sweepstakes, 148 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 7: along with big tech because the other view is that 149 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 7: Khan is likely going to be out the FTC and 150 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 7: that's bullish for deal making across big tech. 151 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 2: Okay, there's a lot to be butish about, but one 152 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 2: area of concern has been well, yes, AI will be fueled, 153 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: but what about the infrastructure for AI? A lot of 154 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 2: that comes with growing chip sector here in the United States, 155 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 2: and that's dependent on well, in many ways, the Chips Act. 156 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 3: Maybe that gets blown out in the water. 157 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 7: Yes, I think when it comes to Chips or Inflationial 158 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 7: Reduction Act, clearly there's gonna be a lot of revisions there. 159 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,559 Speaker 7: I think probably the biggest loser negative would be names 160 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 7: like Intel. You're just adding to that pain. But from 161 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 7: a chip perspective. 162 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 3: You think Intel will be a loser that well, for. 163 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 7: I think Intel has been a loser. This is just 164 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 7: putting really adding gasoline to the fire in terms of 165 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 7: IRA was really going to be a huge opportunity for Intel. 166 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 7: I think Intel now is on the wrong side that trend. 167 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 7: I think what you're going to see with IRA and 168 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 7: inflacial Reduction act much more focus on chips in the US, 169 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 7: but really much more focus on the AI build out. 170 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 7: And I think when it comes to some of the 171 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 7: tariffs that we talked about with China, I think there 172 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 7: will be carve outs. 173 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: That's why I don't. 174 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 7: Think that Nvidia is going to be so negatively impacted. 175 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 7: I don't think a lot of these other names in 176 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 7: terms of the tafts, I think Tesla Apple. That's also 177 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 7: why it's so important that Musk is going to be 178 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 7: a whisper in the White House. 179 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: I'm going to let you put your ifvback on because 180 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: I know Ed wants to jump in here, but I'm 181 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 2: interested in basically, you think Trump isn't going to live 182 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 2: up to a lot of the things he promised on 183 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: the campaign. 184 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 7: I think bar's going to be a lot worse than 185 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 7: the bite. When it comes to some of the tariffs, 186 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 7: you have some that'll be much more nastier. But when 187 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 7: it comes to some of the exports that we see. 188 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 7: I think it's you're gonna see carve outs here. I 189 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 7: don't think it's gonna be as negative for tech and 190 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 7: supply chain. That's why right now this is a Goldielox 191 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,479 Speaker 7: scenario for tech, but it's a champagne moment for Tesla investors. 192 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 5: Dan, you can hear me? Well, can hearn? 193 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 4: You? 194 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 5: Give you a second? O? Good? 195 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 4: All right, here's the question, be honest with me. Can 196 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 4: Elon Musk have an. 197 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 5: Informal all formal. 198 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 4: Role in the administration and be the CEO of Tesla, 199 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 4: SpaceX associated with Neuralink boring company, et cetera. 200 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 7: Yes, I think he won't clearly have a formal role 201 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 7: from a cabinet perspective. Why not kidding, because then it 202 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 7: complicates in terms of his ownership and I think some 203 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 7: of the structure in terms of what we see with 204 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 7: Tesso with space X. But I believe he'll be an 205 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 7: unofficial whisper. I think he'll have a significant influence within 206 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 7: the White House. 207 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 5: And that's why this is going to be. 208 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 7: Known as probably the best strategic bet that Musk ever 209 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 7: made in terms of betting on Trump. And I think 210 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 7: you know this is something that is just starting to 211 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 7: play out in terms of this Trump Musk sort of alliance. 212 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 3: That i'ves and Webbush. I appreciate you coming on today. 213 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, coming up, we speak with m CEO Rene has 214 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 2: hosts the chip designers earnings. 215 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 3: That's next. 216 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 8: This is bely Me Technology. 217 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 2: Let's just dive into the markets a little bit more 218 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 2: and check out chipmakers in particular. 219 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: I'll bring you the socks. Of course. The Semiconductor index currently. 220 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 2: Out one point six percent, having a lovely couple of days, 221 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 2: were up more than almost four point seventy five, call 222 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 2: it five percent over the last couple of training days. 223 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 2: Most in the green qualcom just holding on to its gains. 224 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 2: It has come down from what had been in excess 225 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 2: of four five percent higher earlier. We're up seven tens 226 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: of percent. They're giving a bullish sales forecast, expecting revenue 227 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 2: of ten and a half to eleven point three billion 228 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 2: dollars in the current quarter. They beat analyst expectations and 229 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: their profit came in better than expected as well. Moving 230 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 2: on to ARM, which has come from what was in 231 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 2: the red pre market training to a higher three and 232 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 2: a half percent. Now this is they too really managed 233 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: to beat out the gate when it comes to the 234 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 2: both the top and bottom line. The company's revenue forecast 235 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: was a bit of a concern nine hundred and twenty 236 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: million to nine hundred and seventy million, which perhaps just fell. 237 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 3: Short of some expectations. 238 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: But they really are maintaining their annual forecasts of three 239 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: point eight to four point one billion dollars in sales. 240 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 2: So let's get into it all a little bit more. 241 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 4: At Yeah, I think the shares are so interesting for 242 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 4: maybe it's a company reporting November fifth, and it took 243 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 4: time for the market to wake up and read the 244 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 4: numbers a little bit. 245 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 5: Who knows. The chip maker did give what was seen. 246 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 4: As a sluggish sales outlook and at first disappointed investors. 247 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 4: What has changed, Rene Huss is the CEO of ARM 248 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 4: and joins us. Now it's really interesting, right and the 249 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 4: function of what ARM does on licensing royalties, because sometimes 250 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 4: it's not about unit growth. 251 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 5: I look at like revenue. 252 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 4: For example, maybe some evidence renee that the Chinese consumer 253 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 4: in particular is buying higher end handsets. 254 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 5: How does that help you benefit? 255 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 9: Well, good morning Eda and Caroline, and we are very 256 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 9: happy about the quarter. We just reported the high end 257 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 9: of the guidance, and our royalties were at a record number. 258 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 9: And to your question, you know, one of the things 259 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 9: that we have seen a huge benefit from with our 260 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 9: technology going forward has been our Version nine, which commands 261 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 9: a much higher royalty rate than we have in the past. 262 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 9: And what that allows to do is not exactly track 263 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 9: the market from a unit standpoint. One of the proof 264 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 9: points of that unit sales for smartphones we're up four 265 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 9: percent in the last quarter. Our royalties we're up forty percent. 266 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 9: So you can get a sense that you're seeing a 267 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 9: very big difference that's really driven by two factors. One 268 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 9: is Version nine, as I said, which commands a high 269 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 9: royalty rate. And second, we're just seeing more arm technology 270 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 9: inside these smartphones, particularly the premium segment, which also commands 271 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 9: a high royalty rene. 272 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,439 Speaker 4: A lot of investors and people that I speak to 273 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 4: in the world of technology think you're great. You're a 274 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 4: great CEO, and you've been embarked on this sort of 275 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 4: journey for profit and margin. But is there a ceiling 276 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 4: to that, Like, at some point, how do you keep 277 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 4: driving those letters? Are you sort of very pricing dependent 278 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 4: at this point? 279 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 5: I don't think so. 280 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 9: You know, the market that we're addressing is very, very large, 281 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 9: and one of the things that has made it even 282 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 9: larger has been all things AI. And if you think 283 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 9: about what ARM does, we do compute, we do the CPU. 284 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 9: Every digital device has one. And the fact that you're 285 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 9: running all these AI workloads on devices that are already 286 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 9: running different applications that they had to in the past, 287 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,599 Speaker 9: that drives a need for more and more compute capacity, 288 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 9: which ends up ending up with ARM. So as a result, 289 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,839 Speaker 9: we were very, very fortunate to have some tailwinds from 290 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 9: a technology standpoint driving our growth. So as far as 291 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 9: the ceiling, I don't think about it quite that way, 292 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 9: but I do think where we are is a market 293 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 9: where we just can't get enough compute capacity for all 294 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 9: these workloads that are going to be running on every 295 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 9: device in your home or your business. 296 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, though, perhaps some of the tension around compute and 297 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: AI has been whether China is going to quote unquote 298 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 2: beat out the United States, and that suddenly comes into 299 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: a closer focus, particularly with the results of the US election. 300 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 2: Does any of that concern you, particularly around the trade 301 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 2: and embroilment and whether that courtails the industry and going forward. 302 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 9: Yeah, a little hard to say, Caroline, relative to what 303 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 9: could happen from perspective of tariffs, etc. I think the 304 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 9: one thing that I'm happy about post the election on 305 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 9: Tuesday is that here we are on Thursday morning and 306 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 9: we have a result. We're not debating about what might 307 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 9: happen or could happen or should happen. We at least 308 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 9: have a result behind us, which is good for business, 309 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 9: it's good for the country. Now going forward, we'll just 310 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 9: have to see what goes forward. In terms of the 311 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 9: things you mentioned, the China business for US has been 312 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 9: very resilient and very strong, both in data center and 313 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 9: phones that we've talked about, but also in the automobile sector. 314 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 9: So regarding your question, we'll just have to wait and see. 315 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 3: Talk to us a. 316 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 2: Little bit about the phone part, and in particular whether 317 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 2: or not just us replacing less often but with much 318 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 2: more expensive phones is going to be able to what 319 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 2: makes your numbers resilient going forward? Will that continue to 320 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 2: upset the fact that we're just buying fewer on them. 321 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 9: I do, and the reason for that is when you 322 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 9: start thinking about all of these AI agents that will 323 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 9: increasingly be running on your smartphone, that is going to 324 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 9: drive demand for more and more capability on these premium phones. 325 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 9: And that's great for ARM because if you think about 326 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 9: a next generation smartphone still has to run games, it 327 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 9: still has to run apps, it still has to connect 328 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 9: to the internet. But now you want to run a 329 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 9: large language model or a small language model, and you 330 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 9: need to interface with a cloud and do security. That 331 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 9: all requires a lot of compute, much more than in 332 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 9: the past, which is great for ARM because you can't 333 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 9: do it without using our technology. 334 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 4: Renee Bloomberg reported that ARM was interested in buying some 335 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 4: or all of Intel. 336 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 5: What's the latest for that, please? Yeah, I read that. 337 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 9: I'm not sure exactly where it came from, but I 338 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 9: can't really comment on those kind of rumors. 339 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 4: Small recent is a licensed dispute with Qualcom, a longtime 340 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 4: partner and customer of yours. Wouldn't it just makes sense 341 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 4: for you guys to work it out and settle and 342 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 4: get something done so you can both just move forward. 343 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 10: Yeah. 344 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 9: So it's an ongoing litigation, as you know, and in 345 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 9: just the baseline things, it's. 346 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 5: A pretty straightforward case. 347 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 9: Consent is required anytime one company buys another company that 348 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 9: has ARMED technology. Consent was not granted in this case, 349 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 9: and just by way of history, every contract we have 350 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 9: has this clause, and in thirty five years, I think 351 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 9: we've done one hundred and thirty assignments and one hundred 352 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 9: and thirty times consent has been granted. This time it wasn't. 353 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 9: We sent a notification to QUALKM that they were in 354 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 9: breach of the license. We're very confident in our case. 355 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 9: But more importantly, this is about fairness. It's about equity 356 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 9: the ecosystem. We have lots of partners who've license our 357 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 9: technology over the last decades. We need to be fair 358 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 9: and equitable, and we just now have a situation, an 359 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 9: unprecedented one where consent was not granted, and as a result, 360 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 9: we took the action we felt we needed to take. 361 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 2: How is it doing business therefore with what is a 362 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: key customer but increasingly becoming more of a front of me. 363 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 9: Well, you know, in terms of the litigations, I said, 364 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 9: there's not much more I can add on to it. 365 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 9: From a financial standpoint, we've made assumptions all along when 366 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 9: we've given guidance and forecast to investors that we will 367 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 9: not prevail in this case. So we've taken a fairly 368 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 9: bearish position on the financial outlook, and that's really about 369 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 9: about all I can say on it. 370 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 4: RENEE at the end, market level and product level. What 371 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 4: is the next phase farm, what's the next story that 372 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 4: you think will carry the company forward? 373 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 9: Thanks for asking that question. You know, compute subsystems and 374 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 9: these are all about taking the pieces of IP, stitching 375 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 9: them together together, providing them as a full end solution 376 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 9: which greatly saves engineering time, time to market, time to 377 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 9: profit for our partners. That is the direction of the company. 378 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 9: We've seen amazing traction. We've had lots of design wins 379 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 9: in the data center space. Media Tech just announced their 380 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 9: first chip set recently using ARM computer subsystems for mobile. 381 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 9: I see that to be pervasive going forward, and it's 382 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 9: going to allow us to not only get great benefits 383 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 9: to the customers' markets, but those drive much higher royalties 384 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 9: than anything we've ever done in the past, which will 385 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 9: drive growth for us. 386 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,239 Speaker 2: Just paint the picture of where ARM will be in 387 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 2: the ecosystem five ten years from now. You're still majority 388 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 2: held by soft Bank in terms of your outstanding shares. 389 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 2: Massa has some big vision one hundred billion dollars to 390 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 2: put in in terms of creating an AI behemoth. 391 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 3: That complements what you do. 392 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 2: But then there's also the element of whether you just 393 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 2: stick to the designing part of the business. 394 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 3: Where do you take this business? Renee as a CEO. 395 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 9: We have a lot of optionality, Caroline in terms of 396 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 9: the things that we do, and these are obviously the 397 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 9: things we talk about all the time internally. Which direction 398 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 9: do we go, how horizontal do we go, how vertical 399 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 9: do we go. I'm not able, unfortunately to talk about 400 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 9: unannounced products this morning with you, although I would love to, 401 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 9: but I just can't. But we do focus very much. 402 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 9: We do focus very much on the vertical and horizontal 403 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 9: nature of the products and also AI and the form 404 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 9: factors and everything. 405 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:12,719 Speaker 1: That goes forward. 406 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 9: So five to ten years ago from five tent years 407 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 9: from now, I do know that ARM will be involved 408 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 9: in computing in a very large way. 409 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 2: I'm CEO and A has you appreciate the time today, 410 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 2: Thank you. 411 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 11: I think av's are going to be a huge accelerant. 412 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 11: Actually you say a TAM expander addressable work an expander 413 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 11: for LYFT, because I think. 414 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 3: What it's going to do is it's going to bring. 415 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 11: New product onto the platform that people are going to like. 416 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 11: Some people are going to like being driven by human. 417 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 11: Some people are going to think being driven by robot 418 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 11: is pretty cool. Some use cases favor one of the other. 419 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 11: So anyway, I think the hybrid future is what we're 420 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 11: looking at over time. Now Mobili they make the sensors, 421 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 11: they made the tech. You probably have them in your 422 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,439 Speaker 11: car right now, Lay and assist, smart cruise control, all 423 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 11: that stuff that's level two, level four is full self driving. 424 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 5: So imagine a world. 425 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 2: We now go to the President States Biden addressing the 426 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 2: public from the Rose Garden. 427 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:03,479 Speaker 8: That's listening. 428 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: Good to see this cabinet and the staff together here. 429 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 10: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, please, thank you, 430 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 10: thank you, thank you. 431 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: It's good to see you all. Particularly good to see 432 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 1: my granddaughter sitting in the front row here at Fann Hawaii. Honey. 433 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: For over two hundred years, America has carried on the 434 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: greatest experiment in self government and history of the world. 435 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: That's not hyperbole, that's a fact. For the people. The 436 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: people vote and choose their own leaders, and they do 437 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 1: it peacefully. And we're in a democracy. The will of 438 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: the people always prevails. Yesterday I spoke with President elect 439 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: Trump to congratulate him on his victory, and I assured 440 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: him I direct my entire administration to work with his 441 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. That's what 442 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 1: the American people deserve. Yesterday I also spoke Vice President Harris. 443 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: She's been a partner and a public servant. She ran 444 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: an inspiring campaign and everyone got to see something that 445 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: I've learned early on to respect so much her character. 446 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: She has a backbone like a ramrod. She has great character, 447 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: true character. She gave her whole heart and effort, and 448 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: she and her entire team should be proud of the 449 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: campaign they ran. You know, the struggle for the soul 450 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: of America since our very founding has always been an 451 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: ongoing debate and still vital today. I know for some 452 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: people it's a time for victory to state the obvious. 453 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: For others, it's a time of loss. Campaigns, your contest 454 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: of competing visions. The country chooses one or the other. 455 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: We accept the choice the country made. I've said many times, 456 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,959 Speaker 1: you can't love your country only when you win. You 457 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: can't love your neighbor only when you agree something I 458 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: hope we can do. No matter who you voted for 459 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: is see each other not as adversaries, but as fellow Americans. 460 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: Bring down the temperature. I also hope we can later 461 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: rest the question about the integrity of the American electoral system. 462 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: It is honest, it is fair, and it is transparent, 463 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: and it can be trusted, win or lose. I also 464 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: hope we can restore the respect for all our election 465 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: workers who busted their next risks of the outset. We 466 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: should thank them, thank them for staffing voting sites, counting 467 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: the votes, protecting the very integrity of the election. Many 468 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 1: of them are volunteers who do it simply out of 469 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: love for their country and as they did as they 470 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: did their duty as citizens. I will do my duty 471 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: as president. I'll fulfill my oath and I wanted the Constitution. 472 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: On January twentieth, we'll have a peaceful transfer of power 473 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: here in America. To all our incredible staff, supporters, cabinet members, 474 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: all the people who have been hanging out with me 475 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: for the last forty years. God love you. As my 476 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: mother would say, thank you so much. You put so 477 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: much into the past four years. I know it's a 478 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: difficult time. You're hurting. I hear you, and I see you, 479 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: but don't forget. Don't forget all the we accomplished. It's 480 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: beending historic president, not because I'm president, because what we've done, 481 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: what you've done, a presidency for all Americans. Much of 482 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: the work we've done is already being felt by the 483 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: American people, with the vast majority of it will not 484 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: be felt we felt over the next ten years. We 485 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: have legislation we passed. It's just only now just really 486 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: kicking in. We're going to see over trillion dollars worth 487 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: of infrastructure work done, changing people's lives in rural communities 488 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: and communities that are in real difficulty because it takes 489 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: time to get it done, and so much more. It's 490 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: going to take time, but it's there. The road ahead 491 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: is clear, assuming we sustain it. There's so much, so 492 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: much we can get done and will get done based 493 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: the way the legislation was passed, and it's truly historic. 494 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: You know, we're leaving behind the strongest economy in the world. 495 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: I know people are still hurting, but things are changing rapidly. Together, 496 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: we've changed America for the better. Now we have seventy 497 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: four days to finish the term. Our term. Let's make 498 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: every day count That's the responsibility we have to the 499 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: American people. Look, folks, you all know it in your lives. 500 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 1: Setbacks are unavoidable, but giving up is unforgivable. Setbacks are unavoidable, 501 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: but giving up is unforgivable. We all get knocked down. 502 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: But the measure of our characters, my dad would say, 503 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: is how quickly we get back up. Remember, a defeat 504 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 1: does not mean we are defeated. We lost this battle. 505 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: America of your dreams is calling for you to get 506 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: back up. That's the story of America for over two 507 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: hundred and forty years years in counting. It's a story 508 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: for all of us, not just some of us. The 509 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: American Experiment endors. We're going to be okay, but we 510 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: need to stay engaged, We need to keep going, and 511 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: above all, we need to keep the faith. So proud 512 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: to have worked with all of you. I really mean it, 513 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: I sincerely mean it. God bless you all, God bless America, 514 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: and may God protect our troops. Thank you, thank you, 515 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 1: thank you. 516 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 4: Let's bring in Bloombak's Katie Lions, who joins us from 517 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 4: New York City. Kaylee Plice, your summary of President Biden's comments, Well. 518 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 12: The most important point about this speech from Biden at 519 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 12: the Rose Garden in the White House that follows the 520 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 12: speech the concession speech from Vice pres A. Kamala Harris yesterday, 521 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 12: is that they both are acknowledging the decisive victory of 522 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 12: Donald Trump and pledging for a peaceful transition of power. 523 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 12: We just heard President Biden say those words that he 524 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 12: called to congratulate Donald Trump yesterday, that he will do 525 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 12: his duty on January twentieth to make sure there is 526 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 12: a peaceful inauguration of Donald Trump in a power transition 527 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 12: in the United States, similar in rhetoric to what we 528 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 12: heard from Kamala Harris yesterday. The suggestion while this specific 529 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 12: fight was lost as he casts this as campaigns being 530 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 12: a contest between competing ideas, that that did not necessarily 531 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 12: mean that there won't be ones one in the future. 532 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 12: And interesting to also see President Biden here trying to 533 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 12: characterize his legacy as well, talking about the accomplishments he 534 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 12: sees this administration having completed, the idea that there's more 535 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 12: work they will do in seventy four days, because in 536 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 12: part this is the swan song of song of President Biden, 537 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 12: who is getting a lot of blame within the Democratic 538 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 12: Party for the loss of Kamala Harris, the suggestion that 539 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 12: he stayed in the race too long. He ultimately, of course, 540 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 12: did not bow out of it in tell July, and 541 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 12: he is getting a great share of the blame for 542 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 12: what happened this week and the victory of Donald Trump. 543 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 12: But again that victory is being acknowledged. They are planning 544 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 12: to work with the Trump transition team to make sure 545 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 12: that this all happened smoothly. There could still be some hiccups, 546 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 12: as Donald Trump is specifically a bit skeptical of the 547 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 12: General Services Administration, for example, the intelligence agencies that would 548 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 12: oversee things like background checks for those incoming into the administration. 549 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 12: So there could still be some hiccups here. But by 550 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 12: and large, they are committing to a peaceful transfer of power. 551 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 12: They are conceding that Donald Trump won this race, and 552 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 12: this is something we did not see four years ago 553 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 12: in twenty twenty, Katie. 554 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 2: They then also focus on the seventy four days still 555 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 2: left to enact policies and indeed what has been achieved 556 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 2: with there was a mention of infrastructure, and that plays 557 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 2: a lot to the technology community here. 558 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 3: How much do you think there will. 559 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 2: Be any more passing of anything or any more focus 560 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 2: on and potentially the future. 561 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 3: If indeed, say a Chipsack is unraveled. 562 00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 12: Well that's going to be something that would be de 563 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 12: within the next Congress. Obviously, there are still some months 564 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 12: remaining here for this administration, in this Congress and House 565 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 12: of Representatives. What they're likely to deal with in the 566 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 12: lame dunk section session, which do tend to be more 567 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 12: productive as the campaign has already completed at that time, 568 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 12: really is going to surround funding, as there is a 569 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 12: funding deadline, a government funding deadline on the twenty first 570 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 12: of December. So they will need to make sure that 571 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,720 Speaker 12: the government stays funded for some period of time into 572 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 12: the next administration first and foremost. But when the new 573 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 12: Congress is sad and we do not yet know the 574 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 12: entire makeup of it, Yes, it will be a Republican Senate. 575 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 12: Whether it stays a Republican House at this time is 576 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 12: still unclear, and it would take a Republican House likely 577 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 12: to unravel any of the accomplishments of this administration. Legislation 578 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 12: pass including the Chips Act, but the Inflation Reduction Act 579 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 12: as well. 580 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 2: Whoms Kendie lines, we appreciate it so much on the 581 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 2: back of that Biden speech. Meanwhile, and let's get back 582 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 2: to these markets. 583 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'd like to go as crypto if that's okay, 584 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 4: because we didn't have a show twenty four hours ago. 585 00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 4: But within the last twenty four hours, Bitcoin is US 586 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 4: scott below seventy six thousand US dollars per token and 587 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 4: it's kind of weird. I'm going to say it out loud, 588 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 4: but that's all time high, right. I had to pull 589 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 4: up the GP chart on my Bloomberg terminal and be like, oh, 590 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 4: this is also happening in real time. And one of 591 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 4: the big stories, of course of the last twenty four 592 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 4: hours is some of the crypto related equities or stocks 593 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 4: companies that either are a marketplace for have exposure to crypto. 594 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 4: And I think the sentiment is simple, right, Caro, that 595 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 4: President elect Trump, whether from a policy perspective or his 596 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 4: own attitude, will approach crypto differently, and largely that's been 597 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 4: seen as supportive of that industry, even though these specific 598 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 4: names aren't doing much in either direction in the moment. 599 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 2: Boy did they move higher yesterday, though we appreciate it. 600 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 2: And let's go to Noel Aichson who's with US Triple 601 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 2: Crown digital partner, author of the crypto is macro now 602 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 2: and someone who put out a great note yesterday that 603 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 2: I paid a lot of attention to Noel because it 604 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 2: was outlining what next. Yes, there's a lot of euphoria 605 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 2: around whether indeed the sec chare will change and be 606 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 2: more or crypto loving or a nice put in place 607 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 2: some sort of clarity as to what the future regulation 608 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 2: will be rather than enforcement. What is next on the 609 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 2: to do list? What will really substantiate these record highs? 610 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 13: That's exactly what we're all asking Caroline, Thanks so much 611 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 13: for having me. What is next very much depends on 612 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 13: the priorities of the new administration when it gets in. 613 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 3: I think we can assume that. 614 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 13: Crep's crypto is not going to be top of their list. 615 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 13: But he did make some very important promises, and it 616 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 13: is a very sore thorn in the side of US 617 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 13: financial infrastructure that this has not ment dealt with. There's 618 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 13: going to be some limits as to what they can 619 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 13: do in the short term, and perhaps crypto spirits are 620 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 13: getting ahead of themselves a bit, but at the very least, 621 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 13: a change of regime at the SEC would be very 622 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 13: good news to enable so builders to go in and 623 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,239 Speaker 13: talk to the regulator without fear of an action. This 624 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 13: would especially be good for assets whose status a spirity 625 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 13: are lot is currently unclear, as well as those that 626 00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 13: want to provide services for those assets. 627 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 4: Do you have a good sense of where President electromp 628 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 4: will start any specific area of focus? 629 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 13: I think the number one and the either low hanging 630 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 13: fruit has to be a change at the SEC. I 631 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 13: think that's pretty much on the cards that would have 632 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 13: happened to be fair, I think any ways, but the 633 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 13: type of change now obviously is going to be slightly 634 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 13: different than had the neglection gone the other way. That's 635 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 13: a fairly easy one, and again have to remember ever 636 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 13: since Chevron was overturned, the SEC does have its hands 637 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 13: tied as to the kind of rule making it can 638 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 13: engage in. But just removing the fear of action is 639 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 13: a very big deal. 640 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 2: Then you articulate in the note that maybe we look 641 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 2: at stable coin focus and indeed some sort of clarity 642 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 2: on it going forward. We're also though thinking about what 643 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 2: Congress looks like. There are a lot of people, a 644 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 2: lot of races that were backed by an awful lot 645 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 2: of money coming from the cryptoc community that wanted to 646 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 2: see well more change From a congressional perspective, Senator Cynthia Loomis. 647 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 2: She goes on to talk about the strategy bitcoin reserve 648 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 2: that many of us really wonder how powerful that will 649 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 2: really be. What do you make of that particular part 650 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 2: of the promise from Trump. 651 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 13: I'm hearing a lot of chatter about that, a little peo. 652 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 13: Everyone's asking when, not if, but when is this going 653 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 13: to happen. I to be honest, I'm skeptical we're going 654 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 13: to get one of those. And I also think that 655 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,800 Speaker 13: Trump himself might walk back his promise on that when 656 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 13: he realizes that it involves selling dollars to buy bitcoin. 657 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 13: Even if he doesn't, it will be very hard to 658 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 13: get through Congress. But to be honest, that isn't the 659 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 13: most important thing. It would be just enough. It would 660 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 13: be good news for the market if the US decides 661 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 13: to not sell its current stash. And as for the 662 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 13: stable coins that you're asking about, that again is low 663 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 13: hanging fruit. A stable coin bill is bipartisan. This person 664 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 13: of ironing out the details, what kind of requirements and 665 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 13: reserves would they insist on. That's going to be pretty easy. 666 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 13: And I think we're going to get that pretty much 667 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 13: right out of the bat as well, depending on how 668 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 13: fast Congress moves the course. And we do as as 669 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 13: you said, Gary, and we do have the most crypto 670 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 13: friendly Congress ever. That is really quite astonishing. What is 671 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 13: really needed, though, is a crypto bill that will recognize 672 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,279 Speaker 13: that the definitions have changed, that new types of rules 673 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 13: are needed. 674 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 8: That is going to be more complicated. 675 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:12,919 Speaker 2: A Jason, We're going to be getting a back entory 676 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 2: for Crown Digital partner. 677 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 3: We thank you. Coming up, we're going to be speaking with. 678 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 2: Parma Lucky, androil founder and President Trump heads back to 679 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 2: the White House and questions linger around his defense tech starts. 680 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 2: We discuss President elect Trump. This is Bloomberg Technology. 681 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 4: As Donald Trump prepares to head back to the White House, 682 00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 4: there are questions around his policies on AI, defense tech 683 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 4: and spending for More and roll founder Parma Lucky is 684 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 4: back with us here on Bloomberg Technology, and I want 685 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 4: to keep it focused on technology, but i'd also like 686 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 4: to invite you'd start just to give your reaction to 687 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 4: the outcome of the election, and I guess reflect your 688 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,840 Speaker 4: sentiments about the next four years. 689 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 14: Well, I think it was obvious to most people who 690 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,920 Speaker 14: have been paying attention to what people are paying attention to. 691 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 14: I know that that's contentious. A lot of people thought 692 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 14: it was going to be close. I didn't think it was. 693 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 14: Of course, I'm biased. I've been a Trump supporter for 694 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 14: a long time. I supported him in twenty sixteen, I 695 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 14: supported him in twenty twenty. I actually wrote a letter 696 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,919 Speaker 14: to him while I was in college in twenty eleven 697 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 14: telling him that he should run for president. So I've 698 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 14: been a fan of the Master of the Art of 699 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 14: the Deal for a long time. It's nice to see 700 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 14: it finding Colman. And I'm also a big fan of 701 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 14: his pick in JD Vans for vice president. 702 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 5: He's done an incredible job. Everyone else has got to 703 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 5: see that. 704 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 14: But I've known JD for a while and he's an 705 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 14: incredible person. But my reaction on kind of the more 706 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 14: business side, the defense side, is it's great to have 707 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 14: someone inbound who is deeply, i guess, deeply aligned with 708 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 14: the idea that we need to be spending less on 709 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 14: defense while still getting more, that we need to do 710 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 14: a better job for k during the defense tools that 711 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,720 Speaker 14: protect our country. Trump famously got involved in the nitty 712 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 14: gritty of some of our aircraft carrier design and some 713 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:08,919 Speaker 14: of the procurement of air Force. 714 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 5: One. To see that level of involvement from a president. 715 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 14: Is pretty rare, and I think an indicator of his priorities. 716 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 3: You wrote a letter to the guy back in twenty eleven. 717 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 3: Who knows whether that inspired has run Parma. 718 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 2: But you're close, of course with the VP elect as well. 719 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 2: Are you talking about anyone to be the Defense secretary? 720 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,280 Speaker 2: Have you got anyone's here? Would you like anyone in particular? 721 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 5: Look, I've got opinions. I'm in touch with the. 722 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 14: Transition of team, of course, and I know a lot 723 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 14: of people who are involved with the transition have known 724 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 14: them for a long time. In many cases, I've heard 725 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 14: a few names thrown around for a potential Secretary of Defense, 726 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 14: but also for the many roles that are in maybe 727 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 14: not the secretary level. They don't get quite as discussed 728 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 14: on shows like yours, but it's still very, very important. 729 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 5: So you know what, I. 730 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,400 Speaker 14: Don't want to throw any names out there because I 731 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 14: would be happy with all There's not There's not a 732 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,440 Speaker 14: single name that I've heard that I'm unhappy with. And 733 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 14: I have to I have to play nice and not say, oh, well, 734 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 14: I prefer this guy or that guy. 735 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 5: All of the names that I've seen are people who 736 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,360 Speaker 5: are do an incredible job. Thank you, Palmer. 737 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 4: Anderil has spent years working with the Department of Defense, right, 738 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 4: and I don't want you to reflect too much on 739 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 4: the experience that has been, but maybe you could talk 740 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 4: because through the changes you think are needed in that 741 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 4: department structurally in terms of how government does business with 742 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 4: private enterprise. 743 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:32,880 Speaker 5: Like Anderill. 744 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 14: Sure, Look, I got into the defense space after I 745 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,319 Speaker 14: sold my first company, Oculus, to Facebook for a few 746 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 14: billion dollars. 747 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 5: Was working on VR there for a few years before 748 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 5: I got fired. 749 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 14: And the reason I got into national security is because 750 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 14: I wanted to save taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars 751 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 14: a year by making tens of billions of dollars a year. 752 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 5: And I think that that can be. 753 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 14: Done by encouraging the creation of defense product companies that 754 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 14: use their own money to decide what to build, how 755 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,399 Speaker 14: to build it when it's done, and then have skin 756 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 14: in the game. And they fail, they lose money. When 757 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 14: they succeed, they make money. I think the set of 758 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 14: incentives that you see in a lot of defense contracting today. 759 00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 14: Defense procurement today cost plus contracting, where you're paid for 760 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 14: your fixed time and materials and a fixed percentage of 761 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 14: profit on top. It rewards exactly the wrong things. You 762 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 14: make more money by making things more expensive. You make 763 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,800 Speaker 14: more plus by having more cost and that manifests in 764 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 14: the form of programs that go too long, programs that 765 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,839 Speaker 14: are too expensive, components that are more expensive than need be, 766 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 14: because it's really the only way to make more money 767 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,920 Speaker 14: on it. In fact, in some cases, they make more 768 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 14: money with things that break frequently than not. 769 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,440 Speaker 5: And so I think what we really need. 770 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,799 Speaker 14: Is companies that are aligned with the way that we 771 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,280 Speaker 14: do business and the rest of our economy. 772 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 5: You build a good product, you sell it, you make money. 773 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 2: So in terms of contracting, if we see a shakeup, 774 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,479 Speaker 2: will you benefit the smaller? The startups benefit a little 775 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:50,919 Speaker 2: bit more than they have been Who the winners? 776 00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:51,919 Speaker 3: Who are the losers? Do you think? 777 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 5: Well? 778 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 14: I think the winners are going to be particularly to 779 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 14: two things. I think it's going to be a lot 780 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 14: of these new startups that are up in the wake 781 00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,840 Speaker 14: of Androl's success. I often say that other defense startups 782 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 14: have raised a lot more money off my success than 783 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,760 Speaker 14: I have, which I'm fine with. And I've raised billions, 784 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,280 Speaker 14: but I've seen their pitch decks. They're saying, hey, Androl 785 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 14: did it. The DoD is moving with this. People understand 786 00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,280 Speaker 14: that this is a viable business model. I think another 787 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 14: beneficiary is going to be companies that have been around 788 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 14: for a long time that are very very competent, that 789 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 14: know how to get things done, that know how to 790 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 14: write a budget, that know how to build a team, 791 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 14: that know how to build a product. The companies that 792 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 14: suffer are going to be the ones that try to 793 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,359 Speaker 14: shunt responsibility for their failures over and over and over 794 00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 14: again onto the taxpayer. I think they're the ones who 795 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 14: are going to struggle. And I don't want to make 796 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 14: this sound like this is a this is just a 797 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,279 Speaker 14: Trump thing. This is a non partisan idea. I mean, 798 00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 14: Androl's been around for about eight years now. We did 799 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,399 Speaker 14: well under Trump in his first administration, and we did 800 00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 14: even better under Biden and his administration. I think we're 801 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 14: going to do even better now. It's the defense space 802 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 14: is one of the few that is I think actually 803 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 14: successfully remained pretty non partisan, and that's aligned with Androl too. 804 00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 14: You know, I'm a Republican obviously, I'm the founder of ANDROL, 805 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 14: but our CEO Brianship as a Democrat, He's fundraised for Jamala, 806 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 14: He's done fundraisers for other Democrat politicians. The idea that 807 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 14: the United States military should have the strongest military in 808 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 14: the world, and that we should defend our allies around 809 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,239 Speaker 14: the world, not just with our military, but especially giving 810 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,320 Speaker 14: them the tools that they need to defend themselves. 811 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,719 Speaker 5: It's a pretty non partisan idea. 812 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 4: Palmer has the election of Donald Trump caused Anderill to 813 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 4: adjust or change planning for China and allies like taiwan. 814 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 5: Ah. 815 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 14: I don't think so, mostly because I was certain he 816 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 14: was going to win. 817 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 5: I think it was already big di in Okay. 818 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,880 Speaker 4: And one thing I'm fascinated by, and just bear with 819 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 4: me on this one elon Musk Okay. There's an association 820 00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 4: between the two. The great unknown is whether Musk will 821 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:56,360 Speaker 4: hold a formal or informal role in some government department. 822 00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 4: But I guess what's your assumption and planning, how much 823 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 4: attention he can keep Trump focused on defense space and 824 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 4: what you kind of think it will actually lead to. 825 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 5: Do you see what I mean? 826 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:16,399 Speaker 14: I think that Elon has outperformed every reasonable expectation of him. 827 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 14: I was one of the people, I have to admit 828 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:23,240 Speaker 14: that didn't believe that he could successfully work on Twitter 829 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:28,799 Speaker 14: and SpaceX and Tesla and Solar City and Neurolink and 830 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 14: politics and everything else and Diablo for Top twenty ranked 831 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:34,520 Speaker 14: all at the same time. 832 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,360 Speaker 5: But he's done it. And so on the one. 833 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:39,839 Speaker 14: Hand, it's easy to say, oh, man, I think it's 834 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 14: going to be really hard for him to do all 835 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 14: of that and also keep this administration maybe focused on 836 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 14: things like space making, humanity and multiplanetary species and extra 837 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 14: solar species eventually. But you know what, everyone who's ever 838 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 14: bet against Elon has come away crying. So I think 839 00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 14: I'm probably just gonna have to say, yeah, I bet 840 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 14: he's going to do it somehow, somehow, he's going. 841 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:01,399 Speaker 5: To do it. 842 00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 2: Andrew Founder Palmer Lucky. We appreciate it. Thank you for 843 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:15,959 Speaker 2: coming on a sketter Today's Tech Daily. Elon Musk's big 844 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 2: bet on Donald Trump has paid off if you're looking 845 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,920 Speaker 2: at the count market capitalization of Tesla absolutely rocketing. But 846 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 2: what does it mean for the value of other areas 847 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 2: of his control X for example, the platform formerly known 848 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 2: as Twitter those Max Trafkan discusses what has been a 849 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 2: massive payoff if you think of one hundred and thirty 850 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 2: million in and how much as wealth has ballooned by that. 851 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 3: But what about the other areas of growth. 852 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 15: Well, I think X we need to stop thinking about 853 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 15: as a business that exists outside of Elon Musk's you know, 854 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 15: general empire. You know, X's value has fallen a lot 855 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 15: over the past two years, but I think at this 856 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 15: point it's fair to say that it's influence, it's political worth. 857 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:59,360 Speaker 15: What it gives Elon Musk's other areas is probably worth 858 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 15: more than the forty four billion dollars he paid for it, 859 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 15: or at least the money that he's lost in running 860 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,879 Speaker 15: it over the past two years. SpaceX stands to gain 861 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 15: tremendously from this election. You know, Trump on the stump 862 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:16,279 Speaker 15: was talking about Mars programs, talking about ordering rockets up 863 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 15: from Elon, and if that happens, if there is a 864 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,799 Speaker 15: big Mars program that is unveiled, that's going to be 865 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,360 Speaker 15: worth billions, if not tens of billions of dollars to 866 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 15: Elon Musk neuralink, his you know, brain implant thing that's 867 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 15: federally regulated, the boring company federally regulated, AI potentially. 868 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:38,439 Speaker 4: Regulated, federally regulated is like the key point, right. 869 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:39,359 Speaker 5: You know, in. 870 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 4: History, high profile people from the private sites of Going's 871 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 4: government is not new like Gary Cohne Minuchin. Whatever the 872 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 4: question is, will Musk see it through Max? Will he 873 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:53,440 Speaker 4: still be with Trump in some role a year from now, 874 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:54,879 Speaker 4: two or three years from now. 875 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 15: Well, I think, and I think the comparison with folks 876 00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 15: like Gary Cohn is instructive. You know, there are lots 877 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:04,359 Speaker 15: of business people who during the last Trump presidency kind 878 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:08,400 Speaker 15: of navigated themselves towards Trump and ultimately I think had 879 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 15: a not great experience. You know, this is a guy 880 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 15: who takes up a lot of space in the room. 881 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 15: He is, you know, famously strong headed, and you look 882 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,680 Speaker 15: at Elon Musk's personality and Donald Trump's personality, might say, 883 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,439 Speaker 15: how can these two men be in a room together? Now, 884 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,919 Speaker 15: the point I would put, what I would point out 885 00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 15: is that Elon Musk is way richer than any of 886 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,680 Speaker 15: those guys you mentioned, and way more powerful and has 887 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 15: a real personal brand celebrity. He is as famous as 888 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,480 Speaker 15: some of the most famous people in the world. So 889 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 15: he has leverage over Trump that maybe some of these 890 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 15: other business people did not have Elon Musk. Now I 891 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 15: think very much needs Donald Trump. But I would argue 892 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 15: that Donald Trump and the Republican Party now needs Elon 893 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 15: Musk too. 894 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,640 Speaker 2: There are other positions of power within the US government. 895 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 3: The White House is not all of it. Will that 896 00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 3: be checks and balances? 897 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 15: I mean, I think you have to look at the 898 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 15: past Trump presidency and also, just like the character of 899 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 15: Elon Musk and Donald Trump, these are not guys who 900 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,240 Speaker 15: like following the who necessarily are paying super close attention 901 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,600 Speaker 15: to the rules, and so I think that you know, yeah, 902 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:15,680 Speaker 15: we're going to see a lot of conversation about potential 903 00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 15: ethics violations. Should a guy who owns a major defense contractor, 904 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 15: who controls a major defense contractor be giving the US 905 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,799 Speaker 15: government advice on defense personnel, that's probably going to run 906 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,319 Speaker 15: a foul of ethics rules. Now, do I expect that 907 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:30,719 Speaker 15: to slow down Elon Musk? 908 00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,560 Speaker 4: No, I mean, to be fair, Pa Ma Lucky was 909 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 4: just in the show, and he's a major defense contractor, 910 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 4: and he was giving loads of advice to the future administration. 911 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 15: So okay, But there's a difference between giving advice and 912 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 15: being part of the White House. 913 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:45,439 Speaker 5: Right, that's I know there. 914 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 4: Is and it's the only question formal role or informal role. 915 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,320 Speaker 4: And I promise you I'll try and find out Blooma's 916 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,160 Speaker 4: match chaffikin. Thank you very much, Carol. 917 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 2: That does it for this edition of Blue Big Technology. 918 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 2: Boy do we get through a lot, whether it's earnings 919 00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,319 Speaker 2: that are still on a fed that's to come, but 920 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:01,960 Speaker 2: also about the election. 921 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 4: Check out the pod you know where to find it. 922 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:06,840 Speaker 4: Team in New York and accept. 923 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:08,280 Speaker 5: Thank you.
