0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 2>Terminal and the Bloomberg Business app. Here's the latest CEO,

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 2>Jensen Fag telling Bloomberg supplies will be plentiful, even as

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.479
<v Speaker 2>in Video's new black wild processor lineup is proving more

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 2>challenging to manufacture. Danaus of Webbursch still bullish, we believe

0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.680
<v Speaker 2>in videos surging AI chip demand, black whol delay concerns

0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 2>are laid. Robust outlook and a meteoric enterprise pipeline speaks

0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.959
<v Speaker 2>to this AI revolution just starting to kick off its

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.279
<v Speaker 2>next phase of growth. Dan drops by the studio for more.

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Thank him, mon, it's here.

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 3>Great to be here.

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 2>Let's start with the production problems. What did he say

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 2>of a night that ALLEXI your concerns.

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 4>There were worries that these Douys were actually going to

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 4>linger into your end, and essentially they put that to rest.

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 4>And I think that's something you talk about billions from Blackwell,

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 4>but ultimately we're talking about what could be tens of billions.

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 4>So if anyone thing was going to spoil this party,

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 4>it was the Blackwell douy is. And I believe even

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 4>though the initial reaction bears came out of hibernation mood

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 4>for a whittle last night, it was good to see him.

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 4>I believe this is a star that should be green today.

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:39.679
<v Speaker 4>And for broader tech, you heard everything you needed to

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 4>and from a demand perspective from godfather.

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.919
<v Speaker 2>Of Ai Jensen, manufacturing this stuff is incredibly complex. Apart

0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>from saying it will increase. Was there any real detail

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.440
<v Speaker 2>about manufacturing yield improving somewhat through the quarter. Did you

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>get any real detail about what was actually happening at

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:56.240
<v Speaker 2>these factories?

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 4>He talked about yields improved, and if you look from

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 4>a yield perspective, the biggest thing that could hurt this

0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:08.399
<v Speaker 4>story was significant Blackhall delays, and that's something that that

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 4>checked the box. You look at the demanders in terms

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 4>of the October quarter, Okay, could whisper has been thirty

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:18.839
<v Speaker 4>three billion or thirty two point five on the margin. Realistically,

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 4>as they executed, this is probably going to be a

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 4>thirty three thirty four billion type of quarter. So then

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.080
<v Speaker 4>you look out further and you're like, okay, you start

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 4>to get these two billion and two billion continued beats.

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 4>You start to look at earnings power that significantly goes

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 4>higher into next year, and relative to Cappax and everything

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 4>we're seeing in tech, this was the most watched earnings.

0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we had watch parties.

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:44.640
<v Speaker 4>I'm going sure if you were at one of the

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 4>watch parties and it's something where I think they came

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 4>delivered and I think for tech it's going to put

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 4>fuel in that rally.

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Sure's a comment from one of those parties.

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 2>It's fun.

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 5>It's like a cultural thing.

0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to be here to root for a

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>winning team. I'm just letting you know very much of

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 1>the popular site.

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Guys.

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm very curious.

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Though about what you think with the Blackwell revenues that

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>they are projecting out.

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 5>They were very non specific.

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.959
<v Speaker 1>They said, yeah, billions of dollars, and people are looking

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>at that and saying, if you really want to convince

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 1>us that this Blackwell delivery delay isn't going to be

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 1>a serious problem, why not provide specifics, especially at a

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>time where margins are coming in, especially at a time

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 1>where they're not able to diversify their buyer base.

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and we think that's ultimate from all of our

0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 4>checks in Asia, tens of billions, not just billions, but

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:33.960
<v Speaker 4>Jensen a grand wizard, grand master poker player, not going

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:35.120
<v Speaker 4>to reveal the playbook.

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 3>That's smart. But if you look at Nvidia.

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 4>Here, this is Lebron in high school in terms of

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 4>where this story is ultimately going.

0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.080
<v Speaker 3>And the most important thing is.

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 2>The multiplier effect because it is for broader tech.

0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 3>It's not just spout in Nvidia. It's not just spent Microsoft.

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 4>For every dollars spent on Nvidia chip, we believe it's

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 4>an eight to ten multiplier cross tech. And I think

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 4>that's something that's probably the most important for investors.

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's fun and it's fun to talk about

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 1>the Godfather and popcorn and all that. You actually have

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>been in Asia a lot, and you've been looking at

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the factories and you've been talking to people who are

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 1>the um buyers of some of these chips and the

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 1>producers to understand exactly how much demand there is.

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 5>What have you seen that gives you such confidence.

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.479
<v Speaker 1>That this really is a takeoff story, even now with

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>some questions about how long the magnificent three or four

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>US big tech companies can continue to support it.

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we'll be going back to Asia next week.

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 3>A trillion dollars of.

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 4>Cap backs is what we see from an AI perspective

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 4>over the next three years. You go back six months ago,

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 4>we thought that was five hudred billion, and every quarter

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 4>if you look at the underlining demand not just some

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:46.479
<v Speaker 4>hyper scalers, but eventually what's going to be other enterprises.

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:47.720
<v Speaker 3>It's just starting.

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 4>So all of our checks are showing demands actually continuing

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 4>to accelerate.

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 5>You know, it's far out to yield.

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 4>You're improving from production perspective that they're the only game

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 4>in town. Use cases are coming, so that would pollenteer.

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.800
<v Speaker 4>You see that with service now. Now this Fourth Industrial

0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 4>Revolution Roome wasn't built in a day, neither AI revolution.

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 4>It's starting to come together. Anyone that thinks this is hype,

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 4>you listen to commerce calls Nvidia, AMD, Microsoft, Pollunteer and others.

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I don't know what watch party dudes, Bears are,

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 4>but they're not listening.

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 2>To the calls that I am you Sain, it's the

0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Brunet High School. Why isn't it zomb Williamson. Why couldn't

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 2>we end up with a situation when we actually get

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.719
<v Speaker 2>real competition and it just doesn't do that well anymore?

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 2>How big is this mout around this company?

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 4>And I think it's a great question. Right now, only

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.839
<v Speaker 4>game in town AMD and obviously least as soon others

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.160
<v Speaker 4>are going to benefit. The reason this is the lebron

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 4>in high school is because they are so ahead of

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 4>any other competitor, and right now they're the only game

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 4>in town. The new gold, the new oil, the AMD chips.

0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.039
<v Speaker 4>And when you come away from that conference call last night,

0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 4>now I get after hours and Bears will come out.

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 4>But there's nothing that makes me think that we don't

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 4>have a year from now or less. You have three

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.720
<v Speaker 4>four trillion dollars. Mark Aps, godfather of AI and Emdia.

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 4>What's happening kuper Tina with the AI supercycle starting off

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.239
<v Speaker 4>on iPhone sixteen and what's happening then Della in Redmond.

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, okay, in fairness to the bears, because the bears

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.840
<v Speaker 1>weren't exactly coming out and saying this stock is going

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.440
<v Speaker 1>to tank. They're saying, maybe, you know, just cash in

0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 1>a few chips after one thousand percent rallies going back

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 1>to October of twenty twenty two, a real question here

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 1>of how big the addressable market is, and a question

0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.720
<v Speaker 1>about whether they can essentially go into some of the

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 1>data centers that their buyer base are trying to fund

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.599
<v Speaker 1>and create. Basically, how much do they become competitors with

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 1>their main customers, And a real question about cannibalization At

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:52.200
<v Speaker 1>a time where big and bigger companies are increasingly getting

0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.039
<v Speaker 1>the scrutiny of regulators, how much are you sort of

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>factoring that in as a ceiling for how far this

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 1>godfather of AI can go.

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and it's abound even look where Microsoft's going, where

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 4>Google and Clouds and Amazon. So definitely like it's a

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.720
<v Speaker 4>little bit of a coappetition that's happening here. Look from

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 4>a regulatory regulatory is forty miles an hour in the

0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.119
<v Speaker 4>right lane in a minivan. The technology is one hundred

0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 4>miles an hour in a Ferrari in the left lane,

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 4>and I just think this will be self regulation. You'll

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 4>have a lot of em and look at open AI

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 4>in terms of you know what looks like that next

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.880
<v Speaker 4>round of funding is it's a scarcity value. You will

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 4>start to see those eventually, you know, some more competition

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 4>bill butt heads. But this market it's the first second

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 4>inning of a nine inning game. That sort of our

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 4>view in terms of where you know, where we are

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 4>from an AI.

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Revolution months of this weekend right from the one yes,

0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Big Rice is going to say it, Yeah to see it,

0:07:47.840 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 2>thank you. One question. Let's talk about the politics. Comla

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.280
<v Speaker 2>harrisonton Well sitting down with CNN this afternoon. Top of

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Mind Policy Haidi Creeber Retica of the Council on Foreign Relations,

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 2>saying it's likelier than not that a Harris white House

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 2>would build out foreign policy with a focus on international leadership,

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 2>nurturing ties with allies and partners, including NATO, new minilaterals

0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 2>like trilateral with Japan and Korea, and critical minerals partnerships

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 2>and the G seven. Heidi Creeper Retica of the Council

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 2>on Foreign Relations joined us. Now, Heidi, let's build on

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 2>that if we can, and welcome back to the program.

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Can I start with this one. You're incredibly well connected

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 2>in Washington, d C. I'll say that for you. How

0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.480
<v Speaker 2>much daylight is there between Harris and Biden?

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think I think you're likely to see quite

0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 6>a bit of continuation in the foreign policy agenda of

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 6>a Harris presidency. And I think probably the most important

0:08:55.080 --> 0:09:00.560
<v Speaker 6>area would be the relationship with allies and partners, because

0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 6>Trump has really shown that he's a go tolone president

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:06.840
<v Speaker 6>and so you know, in this day and age, the

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.080
<v Speaker 6>world is far more complicated than when Trump was president.

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 5>You have an alignment with China, Russia, Iran, and.

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.440
<v Speaker 6>North Korea in a world where America really needs to lead,

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.839
<v Speaker 6>but we have to do it with friends and partners,

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:24.559
<v Speaker 6>and that includes bolstering supply chains and resilience.

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 5>You can't do that alone.

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 6>So I think, you know, just the in the in

0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.840
<v Speaker 6>the broadest sense, you would see a continuation of.

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 5>Many of the features you've seen in Biden Adi.

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:40.239
<v Speaker 2>When it comes to Chinese specifically and the issues in China.

0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you think they can make the case that a

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>multilateral approach has been more effective in the last few

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.360
<v Speaker 2>years than what we saw under President Trump.

0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely, I mean, I think you know you do have

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 6>you have a more complicated geopolitical backdrop where you have

0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 6>China actually helping Russia's war econ it me, where you

0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 6>have a much more cooperation across as I mentioned, those

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 6>four those four key countries who are geopolitical rivals right now,

0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 6>and so you need to have friends, you need to

0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:18.440
<v Speaker 6>have allies, you need to have doubling down on the

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 6>existing mini laterals, the new minilateral between the US, Japan, Korea,

0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 6>building on the quad relationship with Australia, Japan, India, and

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 6>the United States, and also building out the critical minerals

0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 6>partnerships and what we're going to need for energy transition

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:44.640
<v Speaker 6>and for defense. And I think also the traditional forums

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:47.679
<v Speaker 6>like the G seven take a lot of work, They

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 6>take a lot of nurturing, and we did not see

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 6>that during the Trump administration.

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Hidie, we were just talking about how unusual it is

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.280
<v Speaker 1>that Jake Sullivan went to China and got such a

0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.240
<v Speaker 1>high audience at a time where Joe Biden is a

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:00.959
<v Speaker 1>lame duck press it in and there's a lot of

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 1>questions around who's actually going to be the head of

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 1>this country come early next year. Heidi, Why do you

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>think he went now and got such an audience.

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.720
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think I think it's important to make sure

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 6>that there is a channel of communication when there is

0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:24.640
<v Speaker 6>any when there is any change, when there is UH,

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 6>when there is uh uh you know, uncertainty, which is

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 6>you know, pretty you know, running pretty rampant in in

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:36.600
<v Speaker 6>the global geopolitical uh space right now as well as

0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:41.400
<v Speaker 6>in the global economic space. So knowing directly from the

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:45.719
<v Speaker 6>National Security Advisor, what is uh, you know, what is

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 6>the the likely Harris agenda, what is coming potentially down

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:55.560
<v Speaker 6>the pike before before the election or after the election.

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 5>With regard to any rumored.

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:04.160
<v Speaker 6>Expansion of of export controls, How to manage manage the

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 6>managed competition in a way that sustains sort of strategic

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 6>balance and and and safety. We have had a number

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:20.600
<v Speaker 6>of run ins with with China in the South China season,

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 6>trying to make sure that we don't have any any

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 6>unintended consequences from some of China's more aggressive military actions

0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 6>of late. So I think, you know, just maintaining a

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:37.680
<v Speaker 6>senior dialogue at this critical juncture is crucial.

0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 5>Heidi.

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that a lot of people are going to

0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 1>be watching tonight when we hear the first televised interview

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:47.080
<v Speaker 1>with a major media outlet of Kamala Harris and her

0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 1>running mate Tim Waltzon. I'm wondering. I'm sure China will

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.679
<v Speaker 1>also be watching to understand exactly what some of these

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 1>policies may be, as well as many other international partners

0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 1>of the United States. Heidi, what are you expecting to

0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.240
<v Speaker 1>hear tonight or not? Does it matter if we hear

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 1>nothing in terms of policy.

0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.920
<v Speaker 6>So I think this is about politics as well as policy.

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:10.400
<v Speaker 5>You have. You know, we're seventy odd days out. Harris

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:11.520
<v Speaker 5>is sitting on momentum.

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 6>She said she'd do an interview before the end of

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 6>the month, and I don't expect her to really break

0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 6>any new news in this interview, but I think it's

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.600
<v Speaker 6>an important one to watch. And you are absolutely right,

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:26.360
<v Speaker 6>everybody outside of the US will be watching this to

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 6>see you for any policy insights, and I think she

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 6>you know, this has been a sort of a policy

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 6>light campaign on both sides.

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:37.600
<v Speaker 7>You have.

0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.960
<v Speaker 6>You know, Trump has had this project twenty five you know,

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:46.959
<v Speaker 6>home Outside Holmes made by others and not himself on

0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:50.960
<v Speaker 6>many many issues. And then you know she's not is

0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 6>the first candidate to be light on specifics. I mean

0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:58.679
<v Speaker 6>Bill Clinton was criticized for far too little on specific

0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 6>policy issues, and then Secretary Clinton when she ran for president,

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 6>was far too specific.

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 5>And so I think at the.

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.600
<v Speaker 6>Stage in the game we're close, you know, we're really

0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:12.920
<v Speaker 6>close to election day, she has an advantage. Harris has

0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 6>an advantage that she did not have to go through

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 6>a primary process. She did not have to define her

0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 6>views and take some hot like harder policy positions. So's

0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.440
<v Speaker 6>she has an advantage right now, and I think she's

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 6>not going to squander it. So and I think I

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 6>like the fact that she's doing it together with Governor Wallas.

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:33.320
<v Speaker 5>I think this is going to.

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:37.080
<v Speaker 6>Be an attempt to really show their personalities, human.

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 5>Side, the way they interact.

0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:42.320
<v Speaker 6>And he also gives her the out of not getting

0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 6>cornered by somebody that not pointing fingers but looking at

0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 6>an oppressed desperate to figure out specifics.

0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 5>She's going to try not to get cornered, and I

0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:54.520
<v Speaker 5>think that's smart.

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Said that a lot of people are watching internationally in

0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:02.280
<v Speaker 1>terms of trying to understand what Harris presidency would look like.

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.240
<v Speaker 5>Do you think it will bother them.

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:05.800
<v Speaker 1>If they get no specifics.

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 6>I don't. I don't think so. I think, you know,

0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.880
<v Speaker 6>she she wants to win. I think that that there's

0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:19.840
<v Speaker 6>been a lot of a lot of criticism of not

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 6>having the not having drilled down on specifics. And I

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.840
<v Speaker 6>don't really think that she's trying to play to an

0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 6>international audience in this interview. I think she really this

0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 6>is really a chance for her to talk to the

0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 6>American people and to voters, and so you might hear

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 6>less on international and maybe more on on domestic and

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:46.880
<v Speaker 6>what and what she and Governor Waltz would mean for

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.480
<v Speaker 6>for some of her domestic economic agenda.

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.080
<v Speaker 2>Atoms, How do we got to leave it there? Come

0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 2>by soon? It's been too long. It's going to catch up.

0:15:54.000 --> 0:16:06.880
<v Speaker 2>HAIDI crew by Redeka, the Council on Farm Relations. Oh,

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Dave Sabina joined us some more on that, Oh Davis

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:13.040
<v Speaker 2>unequivocally dubvish your view of chairman power last week. It's

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 2>time to go long anywhere on the curve? Oh can

0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 2>you build on that? Why anywhere on the curve?

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 7>Because what will experience actually is going to be a

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.840
<v Speaker 7>bull steepener, which means you know you're two years while

0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 7>perform your tens and thirties. But it's actually our preference

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.280
<v Speaker 7>to go long tens and thirties because the volatility in

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 7>tens and thirties will be lower. So from a sharp

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.640
<v Speaker 7>racial or a risk adjusted racial, makes more sense to

0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 7>go long tens and thirties.

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 3>Despite our steepening by us.

0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.840
<v Speaker 2>This time yesterday we caught it with chow Swab Colin Martin.

0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 2>He said, the treasury yield plunge more recently makes extending

0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 2>duration less attractive. Oh, how do you think about that?

0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:52.359
<v Speaker 2>Just the valuation proposition?

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, you know what, I fully agree with that statement.

0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:57.760
<v Speaker 7>That's why we're only to call it a five on

0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 7>ten long the market. But the thing with this market,

0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:05.160
<v Speaker 7>all the valuations have gotten arguably ahead of themselves for now.

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.159
<v Speaker 3>You never know when the next spike lower will be.

0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.040
<v Speaker 7>As I like to say, I've been in the market

0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.240
<v Speaker 7>for thirty years, and you know what, if timing was

0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.360
<v Speaker 7>my strongest suit, I wouldn't even be on the show

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:18.240
<v Speaker 7>right now, be on the beach somewhere. But I always

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.720
<v Speaker 7>want to make sure I'm in the position I want

0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.199
<v Speaker 7>to be. But we're looking towards four percent, where we

0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:26.639
<v Speaker 7>really add to our longs and go full in long

0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:27.880
<v Speaker 7>in tenure yields.

0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:29.679
<v Speaker 1>You'd be calling us from the beach.

0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:31.560
<v Speaker 5>I know you'd be calling in.

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:38.040
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be here either, all right, Moving on.

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.360
<v Speaker 1>You said something that volatility is less in tens and thirties,

0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:43.280
<v Speaker 1>and that's one argument for going into them.

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:45.439
<v Speaker 5>Is that true? I mean at a time when a.

0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Lot of people are talking about a sort of new

0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:52.360
<v Speaker 1>environment for yields more broadly, but especially duration of more

0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 1>volatility there, especially with the election coming up.

0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:58.159
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, you know what, I didn't say there's going to

0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.840
<v Speaker 7>be no volatility. There's going to be volatile everywhere. But

0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.119
<v Speaker 7>this is why I love being an active manager. This

0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.000
<v Speaker 7>is why it's perfect time to be in the shoes

0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:08.159
<v Speaker 7>that we're in. You know, we have our expectations. You know,

0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.120
<v Speaker 7>as I said, we do expect yields to go lower,

0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:13.440
<v Speaker 7>but the market we also expected to go higher.

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.000
<v Speaker 3>But that allows us opportunity to get long.

0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.840
<v Speaker 7>This is the difference between passive and active and it's

0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:23.359
<v Speaker 7>the perfect time from an active manager perspective to monetize

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.800
<v Speaker 7>that volatility. And our team has been doing that for

0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:27.960
<v Speaker 7>the past two years. You've heard us with the two

0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 7>years trade before that was an example of volatility in

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 7>the two years now, we think we'll see it in

0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:34.359
<v Speaker 7>ten years and we can monetize it.

0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:37.919
<v Speaker 1>There is there a contradiction in this foolishness across the

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:41.520
<v Speaker 1>curve in bond markets. Is there a contradiction with the

0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 1>strength of the economy that we're seeing.

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:45.680
<v Speaker 3>No, there's no contradiction.

0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 7>Actually, it's very similar to the weather argument that you

0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:51.200
<v Speaker 7>brought up before in regards to the employment number. I

0:18:51.240 --> 0:18:54.080
<v Speaker 7>would expand that weather argument to the markets. There's so

0:18:54.200 --> 0:19:00.200
<v Speaker 7>many credible, plausible outcomes in this market in regards to rates, higher,

0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.600
<v Speaker 7>rates lower. But this is why it's important from our

0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:06.480
<v Speaker 7>perspective as an active manager, don't get caught on where

0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.600
<v Speaker 7>do you think rates will go, because you're going to

0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.359
<v Speaker 7>miss the volatility and that's where you can monetize. So

0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:14.639
<v Speaker 7>I think all the arguments are credible. Our team we

0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.359
<v Speaker 7>have a process where you know what it's been validated

0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:20.439
<v Speaker 7>in regards to outlooks and views, and that's why we

0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.639
<v Speaker 7>do see lower rates from here, but it's not going

0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:25.639
<v Speaker 7>to be as straight line lower as we're seeing. It

0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 7>would not surprise us if we see four percent ten

0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.240
<v Speaker 7>year yields, but we feel that's the level where you

0:19:30.280 --> 0:19:31.080
<v Speaker 7>start backing.

0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:31.320
<v Speaker 3>Up the trump.

0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:33.920
<v Speaker 2>You have made some assumptions about the destination for FED

0:19:33.960 --> 0:19:36.920
<v Speaker 2>funds though, and it stood out for me after the

0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Chairman Poal speech of Friday, you said, once easing starts,

0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:44.399
<v Speaker 2>you believe the target is neutral at a minimum. What

0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:46.680
<v Speaker 2>is neutral to you? I guess would be my question.

0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:48.159
<v Speaker 2>What do you think the FED thinks it is? And

0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:50.720
<v Speaker 2>are we talking about twohundred basis points of cuts over

0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 2>the next I don't know, twelve months, eighteen months.

0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, it's a good question.

0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.120
<v Speaker 7>I would argue that neutral to me doesn't count because

0:19:58.119 --> 0:19:59.920
<v Speaker 7>I'm not the one doing the eases. So I try

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.760
<v Speaker 7>to listen to the FED governor's speak. We heard Hawker

0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:04.840
<v Speaker 7>last week say it's three percent. I would say it's

0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:08.160
<v Speaker 7>somewhere in and around three percent, but says there's two

0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:11.000
<v Speaker 7>hundred basis points of cuts coming over the next couple

0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:14.280
<v Speaker 7>of years, all else equal. The market's only discounting one

0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 7>hundred right now. That is why we were and we

0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:20.200
<v Speaker 7>saw the speech as unequivocally dubvish. You know, the path

0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.520
<v Speaker 7>and timing to lower rates, that's the uncertain part. But

0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:26.240
<v Speaker 7>we definitely see a move towards neutral The interesting thing

0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:28.240
<v Speaker 7>about this, there's three things we're looking at in the

0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:31.720
<v Speaker 7>market that will add to volatility impact our positioning. One is,

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:34.000
<v Speaker 7>as we've spoken about the employment rate. We think that's

0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:37.119
<v Speaker 7>very important. The second one is the election and that

0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:40.480
<v Speaker 7>will take on more and more be more amplified as

0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:43.119
<v Speaker 7>we get towards November. And then the third one, this

0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:45.439
<v Speaker 7>is the important one, is those risk off moments that

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:51.240
<v Speaker 7>could come from idiosyncratic actions. You know, the butterfly wings that.

0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:52.159
<v Speaker 3>Starts a hurricane.

0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:55.919
<v Speaker 7>So it's that third one, you know, neutral three percent,

0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:58.800
<v Speaker 7>but the FED foot is squarely on the table.

0:20:58.880 --> 0:20:59.040
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:01.800
<v Speaker 7>We saw talk of possible fifty in the market when

0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:04.000
<v Speaker 7>we had the Japan selloff.

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:05.879
<v Speaker 3>That hasn't gone away.

0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:09.080
<v Speaker 7>So we like being long, we like seeing rates go

0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:10.960
<v Speaker 7>to neutral, and now we think we have a free

0:21:11.000 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 7>option on the FED foot which could go way blaw neutral.

0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:17.440
