1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:03,079
Speaker 1: Good morning.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 2: I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: stories we're following today.

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 3: The Dow comes into today with gains for thirteen straight sessions,

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 3: and that is its longest winning streak since nineteen eighty seven.

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 3: Optimism around the FED and earnings are fueling the rally. Today,

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 3: we're seeing another tech company on the rise. Shares of

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 3: meta platforms are up eight percent. The Facebook, Instagram, and

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 3: thread zoner posted strong sales and gave a rosy outlook

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: on the earnings call. CEO Mark Zuckerberg discussed the push

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 3: to grow his latest social media platform.

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 4: I feel like we're getting to a good place on

13
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 4: that with Threads. There's still a lot of basic functionality

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 4: to build. Once we get to the point where it's

15
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 4: at hundreds of millions of people, assuming we can get there,

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 4: then we'll worry about monetization. But I mean, that's basically

17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 4: the playbook that we're focused on.

18
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 3: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says for now, Threads is ad free.

19
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 3: He won't add advertising until it's on a path to

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: one billion users. That's a milestone Twitter never accomplished.

21
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: Well, the other major story that we're following this morning,

22
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: Nathan Centers on the FED, the Central Bank raised interest

23
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 2: rates by a quarter percentage point, taking rates to the

24
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: highest level in twenty two years.

25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 5: Now.

26
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 2: Chair J Powell says the FED has a tough balancing act.

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 6: It's really a question of how do you balance the

28
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 6: two risks, the risk of doing too much or doing

29
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 6: too little. And you know, I would say that, you know,

30
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 6: we're coming to a place where where there really are

31
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 6: risks on both sides. It's hard to say exactly whether

32
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 6: whether they're in balance or not. But as our stances

33
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 6: become more restrictive and inflation moderates, we do increasingly face

34
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 6: that risk.

35
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: And yesterday's rate increase was the eleventh hike in the

36
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: last sixteen months.

37
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: So now, Karen, the Fed's either done or very close

38
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 3: to it. That's the takeaway from former New York Fed

39
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 3: President and Bloomberg opinion columnist Bill Dudley.

40
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 5: Chair Palm made very clear in the press conference that

41
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 5: he doesn't see the need to go that much further.

42
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: You know, the very fact that it's sort.

43
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 5: Of meeting by meeting now tells you that.

44
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 7: He thinks that, you know, maybe there's one more rate hike,

45
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 7: maybe there's no more rate hikes as we go.

46
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: But higher rates could be here for a while. Former

47
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: New York Fed chief current Bloomberg Opinion columnist Bill Dudley

48
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: still thinks the Fed stays tighter for longer until inflation

49
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: comes down to two percent.

50
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: Well.

51
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 5: Interest rates are also in focus overseas.

52
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: Nathan Economists expect the European Central Bank to tighten policy

53
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: again today, and Bloomberg's Maria TODAYO is covering the ECB

54
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: decision from Frankfurt.

55
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 8: Now, the European Center Bank is expected to increase rates

56
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 8: by twenty five basis points taken at deposit rate to

57
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 8: three points seventy five percent, as it continues its most

58
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 8: aggressive hiking cycle to date in an effort to tame inflation. Now,

59
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 8: beyond the monetary policy decision itself, the focus will be

60
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 8: on the press conference and any hints we may get

61
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 8: from the head of the UCB, Christin Laguard in terms

62
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 8: of the future path for rates going into September. In Frankfurt,

81
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: Back here in the US, there are new questions about

82
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: the health of Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell. That's after

83
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: he throwze mid sentence during a news conference on Capitol

84
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: Hill yesterday. And Bloomberg's Amy Morris supports from our ninety

85
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: nine to one newsroom in Washington.

86
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 10: Senator McConnell abruptly stopped speaking froze in place for about

87
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 10: twenty seconds before being led away by Senator John Barresso

88
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 10: of Wyoming, who also happens to be a physician. Hours later,

89
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 10: McConnell left his office saying President Biden called a check

90
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 10: on him.

91
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: President check on me. I told him I got.

92
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 10: Sandbag, sandbag, referring to President Biden's recent fall when he

93
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 10: stumbled over a sand bag on a stage. McConnell did

94
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 10: not answer questions about whether he'd seen a doctor. This

95
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 10: comes just months after the eighty one year old McConnell's

96
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,080

Speaker 10: on March twenty fifth, but did not return to the

99
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 10: Senate until mid April. In Washington, I Amy Morris Bloomberg Daybreak.

100
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: Thanks for that on the Senate Minority Leader Amy Meantime,

101
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: a heat wave continues to engulf large swaths of the US,

102
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: and now the nation's largest electrical grid is declaring an

103
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 3: emergency alert for today. Bloomberg's John Tucker has.

104
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 11: The latest PJM Interconnection has declared a Level one emergency

105
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 11: for the thirteen state Eastern US grid, calling on all

106
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 11: power plants to operate at full capacity. The alert means

107
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 11: it's concerned about being able to maintain adequate power reserves

108
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 11: today as consumers and businesses turn up air conditioners amid

109
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 11: the scorching heat. They also told consumers enrolled in demand

110
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 11: response programs to be ready to cut back on their

111
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 11: electricity usage. The alert just happens to come on the

112
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 11: same day President Biden is unveiling a series of new

113
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 11: actions to protect American workers from extreme heat conditions in

114
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 11: New York. I'm John Tucker Bloomberg dam.

115
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 3: Break, and now it's time to take a look at

116
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: some of the other stories making news in New York

117
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: and around the world with Bloomberg's Michael Barr.

118
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: Good morning, Michael, Good morning, Nathan. The investigation has begun

119
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: into a collapse in crane at a New York City

120
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: construction site. Yesterday's collapse in Manhattan send workers and residents

121
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: scrambling for cover at tenth Avenue and forty first Street.

122
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: The crane had been pouring concrete forty five stories up

123
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: when a fire broke out, sending the boom cracking into

124
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: another building before falling to the street. New York City

125
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: Fire First Deputy Commissioner James Pfeiffer and.

126
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 12: As the fire heats the cable, the cable weakens to

127
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 12: a point where the loses its strength and that's where

128
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 12: the collapse occurs.

129
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: Eleven people were injured, but fortunately no one was killed.

130
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: What's next now that the plea deal in Hunter Biden's

131
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: criminal case unraveled. During a court hearing in Delaware, a

132
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: federal judge raised concerns about the terms of the agreement.

133
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: President Biden's son was charged with two misdemeanor counts of

134
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 1: willful failure to pay federal income tax. He was also

135
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: set to accept the plea deal that included a third

136
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: charge of possession of a handgun by a drug user.

137
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre said Hunter Biden is a

138
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: private citizen and the White House will not be commenting

139
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: on the ongoing situation.

140
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: I think this was an independent investigation that was overseen

141
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: by the Department of Justice. As we've been very clear

142
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 2: they are independent.

143
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 13: We give them the.

144
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,679
Speaker 5: Space to do to do their work.

145
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 2: We believe in the rule of law.

146
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden had been expected to plead guilty after making

147
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: an agreement with the prosecutors, who were planning to recommend

148
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: two years of probation. Donald Trump says he wants to

149
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: see President Joe Biden impeached Bloomberg's head backs to.

150
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 12: Reports, Trump is following the lead of several others, including

151
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 12: Ron DeSantis saying earlier this week that the business dealings

152
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 12: of Hunter Biden and possible involvement with the President are

153
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 12: grounds for impeachment. While this started on the flanks of

154
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 12: the right, it has gained some footing running toward the middle,

155
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 12: especially with Trump allies, But sources say behind closed doors,

156
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 12: including House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, say that they really don't

157
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 12: know much about the President's involvement in his son's business dealings,

158
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 12: but with Trump jumping in, it now does change the dynamics.

161
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: million dollars last year, according to the Turnplank Authority and

162
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: Laware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission. It's a chronic problem

163
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: that officials say has become even worse since the pandemic.

164
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: Global News twenty four hours a day, powered by more

165
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,239
Speaker 1: than twenty seven hundred journalist nailysts in over one hundred

Speaker 1: and twenty countries. How Michaelabar, this is Bloomberg.

167

Speaker 3: Nathan, Thank you, Michael. Time now for the Bloomberg Sports Update.

168
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: Here's John Stashout.

169
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: Thanks day.

170
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 7: Thank Carlos Redon was the Yankees prize free agent signing

171
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 7: of the offseason. Got a six year deal, but then

172
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 7: missed the first half of the season and.

173
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: Then struggled on the road.

174
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 7: Came into the Subway Series finale at the Stadium oh

175
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 7: to three with a seventy ra but Radon pitched into

176
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 7: the sixth. Then he gave up to just one run

177
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 7: four hits. Yankees beat the Mets three to one. Redon's

178
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 7: manager is Aaron Boom.

179
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 13: It's been a long road for him, you know, I

180
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 13: remember sitting up here when we signed him and how

181
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 13: meaningful it was to him. And then to have you know,

182
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 13: a couple setbacks there in spring training that slowed him,

183
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 13: you know, definitely wore on him and ate at him,

184
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 13: and he you know, he hated not being.

185
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 5: Out there with us.

186
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 7: Jose Kintana Gredonno left who signed in the offseason, was

187
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 7: then injured, took the loss. He's now zero and two

188
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 7: for the Mets, who hosts Washington tonight. The Yankees are

189
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 7: in Baltimore tomorrow. Sounds as if Aaron Judge is gonna

190
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 7: make his return from the injured tow. He's been out

191
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 7: since early June, and obviously he has been sorely missed. Also,

192
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 7: sounds like the Angels are not going to trade sho

193
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 7: Hey O'tani before Tuesday's deadline. They just acquired a pitcher,

194
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 7: Lucas Gilito from the White Sox contract extension for Baseball

195
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 7: Commissioner Rob Manfred. He's had the job since twenty fifteen,

196
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 7: and he'll now have it through at least twenty twenty

197
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 7: nine Women's World Cup in New Zealand, a rematch of

198
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 7: the twenty nineteen Cup final that the US one. They

199
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 7: trailed until a Lindsay Horan had her sixtieth minute game

200
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 7: ended one to one, both teams likely to advance. When

201
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 7: the Jets got Aaron Rodgers, they got his contract from

202
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 7: Green Bay, owed him one hundred and ten million dollars

203
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 7: that would have put them in salar. Rodgers and the

204
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 7: Jets have agreed to restructure the deal, and Rodrews has

205
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 7: agreed to take less money. Andrew Thomas getting a lot more.

206
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 7: The Giants Pro Bowl Tackle just got a five year

207
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 7: extension hundreds seventeen million, sixty seven million, Ganante, John Stashellward.

208
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Sports.

209
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 14: From coast to coast, from New York to San Francisco,

210
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 14: Boston to Washington, DC, nationwide on Syrias Exam, the Bloomberg

211
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 14: Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com.

212
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. It

213
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: is a big beat for a big name in tech.

214
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: We are watching shares of Meta Platforms surge in the

215
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 3: pre market after revenues and the sales forecast for the

216
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 3: current quarter came in better than expected. Is Mark Zuckerberg's

217
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 3: year of efficiency starting to pay off at the Facebook

218
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: parent company? Let's get reaction from someone who has been

219
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: very bullish on the broader tech story for quite some time.

220
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: Dan Ives is with us this morning, senior equity research

221
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: analyst at Webbush Securities. Dan, It's good to speak with

222
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: you again. Is this about the cost cutting that we've

223
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: seen at meta platforms? Or does this say something about

224
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: a better economic picture going forward for tech.

225
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 15: Yeah, Nathan, this is not just a vish. This is

226
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 15: actually digital advertising that's starting to ramp back up to

227
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 15: double digit growth. They should have had Rocky two movie

228
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 15: playing in the background during that conference call, because this

229
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 15: is a Rocky bout bolet. Comeback for Zuckerberg and Facebook

230
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 15: just a huge not just for FASA but also for

231
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 15: big tech in terms of digital advertising. Comeback a huge print.

232
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, we know how meta platforms has been pretty beaten

233
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: down in the last several quarters.

234
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: Here.

235
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: Where do you see the momentum going when it comes

236
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: to digital advertising, particularly after what we saw from Alphabet,

237
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: the parent company of Google, and the better than expected

238
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,239
Speaker 3: results on digital advertising. There is it going to be sustained?

239
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 15: I think right now there's an inflection point. You're seeing

240
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 15: an uptick digital advertising. We're seeing an uptick in cloud.

241
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 15: That's a green light for tech because that really shows

242
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 15: the best barometers Meta and Google seeing an uptick, and

243
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 15: that's important in terms of the broader tech market. I

244
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 15: also think for Meta they're focused now in AI as

245
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 15: that next step three legged stool, and you sort of

246
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 15: combine this all with that install based if you're a

247
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 15: bull right now, you're drinking your copee smiling because this

248
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 15: is going to be a great day for Meta.

249
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 3: Well, tell me a little bit more about how Meta

250
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,599
Speaker 3: could use AI going forward here. Is it going to

251
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: be about development that Meta can do in the artificial

252
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 3: intelligence space or is it going to be about how

253
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 3: Meta uses AI as it already is.

254
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 15: It's really the latter. It's about how they're going to

255
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 15: focus more for advertisers, more targeting, more ability for the

256
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 15: consumer to get ultimately personalized messages, personalized data. That's how

257
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 15: they're ultimately going to look at this In terms of

258
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 15: monetization of AI. This is going to happen soon. They

259
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 15: expected the ironic thing. They're spending more on AI than

260
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 15: Meta first, and I think that name change or maybe

261
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 15: became well too soon.

262
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to get to that.

263
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: Does this mean that the focus for Meta and for

264
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 3: investors in Meta is going to be more on sort

265
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 3: of those legacy for lack of a better word, products

266
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 3: that the meta has, the facebooks, the instagrams that now

267
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: threads as opposed to the metaverse. Bet that Even on

268
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 3: the call, Mark Zuckerberg was saying he still thinks it's

269
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: going to be the right bet.

270
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 15: Yeah, the hearts and lungs of this story are Facebook,

271
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 15: are Instagram. That's the core. That's what's happening with engagements,

272
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 15: that's the advertising uptick. And when you could AI, it's

273
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 15: about monetizement installed these metaverse. They'll talk the game, but

274
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 15: realistically that is now put in the back of that

275
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 15: closet the doors shut. It's next to that piece of

276
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 15: paper you haven't seen in ten years.

277
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 3: Is Threads still going to be a thing a year

278
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 3: from now?

279
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 15: Dan, I think Threads is really gonna significantly decline from

280
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 15: gonna get you're already seeing it. I think it sounded

281
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 15: great for forty eight hours. I don't view it as

282
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 15: a Twitter killer. It's additive for them, there is no risk.

283
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 15: But ultimately I think this is gonna be an ever

284
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 15: psychle uphill battle to have success on Threads. I think

285
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 15: many are seeing that over the last week.

286
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 3: Only got about a minute left here, But in the

287
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: time we have left, I got to ask you about Microsoft.

288
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 3: That's been kind of the outlier so far in tech,

289
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 3: with the shares falling nearly four percent yesterday on the

290
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: disappointing as your cloud business. Is Microsoft still a buye

291
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: for you.

292
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 15: I think that stock going down was a gift because

293
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 15: if you look at the cloud story of Microsoft, it

294
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 15: is just start and that's a typical playbook for Nadella.

295
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 15: Be conservative, out of the gate. Bears will take it down.

296
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 15: You look where it is in the next month, three months,

297
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 15: and I think this is a three and a half

298
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 15: trillion dollars mark ap No one is weeding more AI

299
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 15: than Cloud.

300
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:00,120
