1 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news, single best Idea. What 2 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: a remarkable day. We really spent a lot of time 3 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: today respecting our founder Matthew Winkler and the strong support 4 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: of our editor in chief John Micklethwaite, and not doing 5 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: rumor or speculation. There were some blistering rumors and speculations 6 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: this morning about the Republicans, about the Democrats, and we 7 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: just we're going to do the news flow. Shout out 8 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: to Michael Barr, who does a great job every day. 9 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,239 Speaker 1: I wish all of you could see how he seriously, 10 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,959 Speaker 1: how he pieces together the different news commentary and then 11 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: changes it over the course of a morning. It's truly 12 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: an act of God what Michael Barr does, and more 13 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: so into the great unknown of this Thursday, the former 14 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: president will speak tonight. Joe Matthew and Kayleen Lines will 15 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: have all that coverage. David Gura of the Big Tag. 16 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,199 Speaker 1: We'll be speaking with the Governor of New York State 17 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: of Buffalo, Kathy Hokeel. Lots to talk about there, and 18 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: of course a real mystery about our president who at 19 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: eighty one as COVID. That can never be good to 20 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: have that really difficult illness at that age of eighty one. 21 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: We tried to stay on economics, finance and investment today 22 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: and did that with Jim Bianco, who has an outlier call. 23 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: He says, flat out they're wrong. They don't need to cut. 24 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: The new run rate of interest rates wrapped around this 25 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: concept from John Williams, our start is at a higher level. 26 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: Jim Bianco, don't cut in September. 27 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: America is ready for it because the economy can handle it, 28 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: the financial markets can handle it. It's the economic community 29 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 2: that's not ready for it right now. If you look 30 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 2: at the current level of interest rates and you listen 31 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: to FED speak, they talk about it being highly restrictive. 32 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: It might be retarding the economic growth. And again look 33 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: at the stock market. Look at the rally in small 34 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 2: cap stocks when we started pricing in September in the 35 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: last week or so, and the data is just not there. 36 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 2: But the economists still cling to this that the neutral 37 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 2: funds rate, which is what our star is, is two 38 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 2: and a half percent. And put this in terms, the 39 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: Fed thinks they need to cut ten times to get 40 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: to neutral. That's why they want to get started. They 41 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 2: got a lot of work to do. The market is 42 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: probably telling them, no, you probably need only about four 43 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 2: or five cuts to get to neutral. There really isn't 44 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,239 Speaker 2: any hurry. But if you're going to give me stimulatives 45 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: interest rates by lowering them, then I'm going to pile 46 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 2: into small cap stocks. And that's what we've seen in 47 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 2: the last week. 48 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: Jim Bianco Bianco Research, Chicago, And to remind you, he 49 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: was absolutely brilliant eighteen months ago, two years ago by saying, yeah, 50 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: there's disinflation, but at some point we're going to pause. 51 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 1: And boy was he right about that. Now maybe we've 52 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: got a new disinflationary ten trend. Bruce Casman at JP Morgan, 53 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: running all of their economics, puts out a very forceful 54 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: note today to look for global disinflation in the second 55 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: half of twenty twenty four and that relative and absolute 56 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: dynamic of price increase between the United States and other 57 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: nations and particularly em and Asia will really be quite important. Okay, 58 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: so he did some politics. You get Wendy Schiller to 59 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: show up. She's a pinata of a lot of people 60 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: because she's very forceful about our history that maybe we 61 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: don't want to hear. And she's going back to the 62 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: Democratic Donnybrook, which I take back, and this is the 63 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: great work of Nevins. Allan Nevins, the historian on Grover Cleveland, 64 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: I call him Grover Cleveland Alexander now Grover Cleveland, who 65 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: was a two term president with a gap in between, 66 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: much like what mister Trump is aspiring to do, and 67 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: basically the idea that credit conventions, whether planned or perhaps unplanned, 68 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: can be flat out nuts. 69 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 3: If you ever imagine a political nightmare, an open Democratic 70 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 3: convention in twenty twenty four would be that, because it 71 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 3: will be it will expose the fissures and fractures within 72 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 3: the Democratic Party between the very progressive left, the progressive 73 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 3: the middle, and you know, they won't be able to agree. 74 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 3: They're going to want their person to challenge Trump and 75 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 3: try and make arguments about that all the way from 76 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders Lives Warren all the way down to you know, 77 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 3: dark horses like Gina Romundo, Secretary of Commerce, you know, 78 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: and Greshen Whiber might be dragged back into it. Joshua 79 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 3: Bruro of Pennsylvania. It will look like the Democrats can't 80 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 3: decide and don't know what they're doing, and will only 81 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 3: feed into whatever nostalgia Trump voters have for Trump, but 82 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 3: also independent voters who want a stable system. And this 83 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 3: is the big irony of twenty twenty four. Now the 84 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 3: Trump and Republicans appear right now to be more stable, 85 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 3: less chaotic than Biden and the Democrats. 86 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: That is the single best discussion of one potential path 87 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,239 Speaker 1: forward I have heard. She is a Jewel, Wendy Schiller 88 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: of Brown University. We're out on YouTube again.
