1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Good morning. I'm Brian Curtis.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 2: And I'm Doug Prisner. Here are the stories we're following today.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: The effort to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorcis has failed.

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: At back to that story and more from San Francisco.

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, busy day in the House today, Brian, A few

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 3: Republicans joined with Democrats who defeat the GOP drive, arguing

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 3: that discontent with Majorcas did not meet the constitutional threshold

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 3: for removal from office. The vote was closed two hundred

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: fourteen to two hundred sixteen. Not enough. Now it all

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 3: needs to be sorted out because they're talking about relooking

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 3: at this possibly as early as tomorrow. And Congressman ken

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 3: Buck said, at first it was tied at two fifteen

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 3: and then Speaker Johnson changed his vote to know and

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 3: it failed. That's not been explained as of yet. The

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: House has failed to pass the standalone Israel funding package

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 3: as well. The bill failed on a two hundred and

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 3: fifty to one hundred and eighty vote and needed two

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 3: thirds to pass. So this is intertwined, of course with

19
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: the border and the border bill all but doomed the

20
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: failure tomorrow in the Senate, President Joe Biden is out

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 3: blaming Donald Trump. Biden says it had bipartisan approval until

22
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: Trump stepped in. Says the GOP should just be ashamed

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: of itself.

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 4: Just at the moment, we're going to secure the border

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,679
Speaker 4: and fund these other programs. Trump and the MAGA Republicans

26
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 4: said no because they're afraid of Donald Trump.

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 5: Fraid of Donald Trump.

28
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: And he says that there are provisions and the bill

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 3: that make it the most comprehensive border package in US history.

30
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 4: One hundred cutting edge machines to detect and stop Fenton

31
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 4: all at the southwest border.

32
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: We have that capacity plus stop the flow of immigrants.

33
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 4: This will would also give me as president, the emergency

34
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 4: authority to temporarily shut down the border when it becomes overwhelmed.

35
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 4: The numbers are talking over five thousand people trying to

36
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 4: get in one day the bill. If the bill were

37
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 4: a law today, who would qualified to be shut down

38
00:01:58,640 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: right now?

39
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: And he says world is watching regarding aid to Ukraine

40
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: and Israel and Taiwan.

41
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 4: Mistakes on this fight extend well beyond Ukraine. If we

42
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 4: don't stop Putin's appetite for power and control in Ukraine,

43
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 4: he won't limit himself to just Ukraine.

44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: So this did nothing to well quell the pure politics

45
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: the atmosphere. Bloomberg's Rick Davis, I.

46
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 5: Think he could have avoided.

47
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 6: I mean, this is almost like the bill's dead and

48
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 6: I'm going to blame somebody. Not my last chance to

49
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 6: try and get the bill across the goal line. And

50
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 6: you wonder why wasn't this done the day the bill

51
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 6: was announced and give it some cover.

52
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 3: And the Bloomberg's Ginny Shanzano says, though there are.

53
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 7: Three things Donald Trump wants to run on border, economy,

54
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 7: and crime. The economy is getting away from Donald Trump

55
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 7: because the numbers look very good. So now he's trying

56
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 7: to take credit of it for it. If he loses

57
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 7: the border, he can only run on crime. He doesn't

58
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 7: want that to happen.

59
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 3: The vote still schedule for tomorrow and TSB reporting today

60
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 3: the dramatic incident where a panel blew out of the

61
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: Boeing seven thirty seven Max nine jet was missing bolts.

62
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 3: It hadn't been properly attached. Report says four bolts that

63
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: acted as a failsafe mechanism to hold the panel in

64
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 3: place weren't even installed. Donald Trump has been denied immunity

65
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: in the DC election interference case, it can be prosecuted,

66
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: and the DOJ is preparing to release a special Council

67
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: report that is critical of how President Biden is age

68
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: mishandled classified documents, but that there's no plan for criminal charges.

69
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 3: Global News twenty four hours a day and whenever you

70
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: want it with Bloomberg News now in San Francisco. I'm

71
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 3: Ed Baxter, and this is Bloomberg BC.

72
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: All right, thanks very much.

73
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 6: Ed.

74
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: It is now six and a half minutes past the hour.

75
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: Brian Curtis, Doug Krisner, and we are looking at the

76
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: top business stories of the hour. Well. As mentioned by

77
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: Doug a few moments ago, Moody's Investors' Service has cut

78
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: New York Community Bank Court's credit raid grade to junk.

79
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: NYCB shares down double digits today for the fourth time

80
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: in five days, the stock now slumping sixty percent. Since

81
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: last week. The route has raised roughly four and a

82
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: half billion dollars from the bank's market capitalization. Today, NYCB

83
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: shares were down twenty two percent. It's the lowest level

84
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety seven. Investors have dumped the shares over

85
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: concerns about the bank's exposure to commercial real estate. In

86
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: testimony before the House Financial Services Committee today, US Treasury

87
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: Secretary Jennet Yellen said some firms may face challenges.

88
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 8: I do have a concern about commercial real estate. I

89
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 8: believe it's manageable, although there may be some institutions that

90
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 8: are quite stressed by this problem.

91
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: US Treasury Secretary Jenet Yellen. Yellen also said that US

92
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: regulators are working to ensure that lone loss reserves and

93
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: liquidity levels in the financial system are adequate to cope

94
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: with those real estate losses.

95
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: We go to China next, where investor confidence seems to

96
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: be rising. The hope is for a stronger government action

97
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: to end the route that we have seen in the

98
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 2: Chinese stock market. We have more from Bloomberg zivon men

99
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: in Hong Kong.

100
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 9: The anticipation follows the Bloomberg report that regulators are planning

101
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 9: to brief President's Chijing Ping on the issue. It's seen

102
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 9: as underscoring the urgency of staving off a further route

103
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 9: in Chinese assets. Even so, it's not clear if the

104
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 9: President will see fit to provide additional support, but policymakers

105
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 9: are hoping to stabilize markets before the Lunar New Year

106
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 9: holiday to build confidence. It's also unclear if investors will

107
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 9: buy into the story, given them many previous false dawns,

108
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 9: but the NASA Golden Dragon Index did gain nearly six

109
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 9: percent in New York. One other quick point, China's Central

110
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 9: Quaging Investment has stated it will buy more ETFs in

111
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 9: Hong Kong. I'm yvon Mann Bloomberg.

112
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: Radio TSMC is planning to build a second chip fabrication

113
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: plant in Japan that says it looks to expand output

114
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: in the country. TSMC said Toyota Motor will also join

115
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: as a new investor of JASM. That's TSMC's manufacturing subsidiary

116
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: in Kumamoto. TSMC will also inject as much as five

117
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: point twenty six billion dollars in JASM. The new plant

118
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: is scheduled to begin operation by the end of twenty

119
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven. Bloomberg is also reporting that TSMC is considering

120
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: a third fabrication facility in Japan. Well. Joining US now

121
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: on the program is Hermann Chan, Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst

122
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: on US regional banks. To take a closer look at

123
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: Jenny Yellen's testimony and the latest on NYCB, so a

124
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: new fallen angel. That's interesting. This cut by Moody's is

125
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: going to make it even more costly for NYCB to

126
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: raise money. And the tricky aspect herman is that even

127
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: if it does raise market funding in relation to deposits,

128
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: then it will likely get cut again by Moody's. So

129
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: it really needs to raise deposits and can it do

130
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: so under these current conditions.

131
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's going to be the question, and the Mood's

132
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 5: down grade really underscores the predicament that way CP is

133
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 5: in currently where they need to here. It's tougher regulatory

134
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 5: rules now that it cleared one hundred billion dollar asset

135
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 5: mark with the deal for signatures, assets and deposits last

136
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 5: year that was working by the f GI. So they

137
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 5: need their capital, They need to build up their liquidity,

138
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 5: and the current market unease with the shares really makes

139
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 5: that difficult to really stabilize their funding base. Just imagine

140
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 5: that there are some jitty that remove some of their

141
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 5: deposits from New York community that they don't need to

142
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 5: staunch that potential outfload.

143
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: So it's going to be the one year anniversary of

144
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: the crisis within a couple of regional banks when we

145
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: get to the month of March, so next month. It's

146
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: hard to believe. And one of the things that I'm

147
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: wondering about now is whether or not it's an isolated

148
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: situation where we're talking about NYCB. I mean, when you

149
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: hear the testimony from Yellen talking about a worry, the

150
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: implication or the suggestion is that there is a mild

151
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: systemic risk going on right now as it relates to

152
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: commercial real estate. Do I have that wrong?

153
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 5: No, you do have that correct. What's interesting is that

154
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 5: overall the banking system remains sound, and there are issues

155
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 5: with commercial real estate, specific office commercial real estate that

156
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 5: will continue to produce losses. So one of the reasons

157
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 5: that your community is under the microscope is they had

158
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 5: to fairly large commercial real estate losses in the fourth quarter,

159
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 5: which exacerbated the need to shore up the balance sheet

160
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 5: ahead of the stress tests later this year. That's going

161
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 5: to be a risk for the system, but it's going

162
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 5: to be a manageable risk. And looking at the regail

163
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 5: banks that I cover, it's about two to three percent

164
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 5: of the total loans, So it's going to be an issue,

165
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 5: but it's going to be manageable. For the space that

166
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 5: I cover, But nonetheless there will be lumping us within

167
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 5: performance this year, and we'd expect higher loan losses for

168
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 5: the regional banks in twenty twenty four.

169
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, as was mentioned, to a certain degree, it's a

170
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: little out of their control for NYCB what's happened in

171
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: the commercial real estate market. But what is in their

172
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: control is their rapid expansion. Is there any sense that

173
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: they expanded too quickly.

174
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 5: I wouldn't characterize it that way. I would say that

175
00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 5: they were being advantageous at the time last year when

176
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 5: they were viewed as one of the saviors and one

177
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 5: of the winners of the banking turmoil when they stepped

178
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 5: in to acquire signature banks assets and deposits. I do

179
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 5: think they were dealt a bad hand by the regulators,

180
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 5: where the regulators really pushed them to accelerate how they

181
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 5: managed their balance sheet and their businesses to meet some

182
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 5: of the acquirements of one hundred billion dollar asset type

183
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 5: financial institution, and it didn't give them a lot of

184
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 5: time to really grow into that. And now the repercussions

185
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 5: of that is just this market uncertainty that we've seen

186
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 5: over the past few days.

187
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 2: One of the things that I'm wondering about. Also, is

188
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: I'm listening to you and putting what you're saying in

189
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: the context of what we heard today from a couple

190
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 2: of FED officials. They're very cautious right now on kind

191
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 2: of beginning the process of making credit or less expensive

192
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: visa v lower interest rates. And I'm wondering whether or

193
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 2: not the FED sees potential stress building and they are

194
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: going to leap at the first opportunity if they feel

195
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 2: confident that inflation is under control, that they're not going

196
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 2: to waste time in trying to trace or take some

197
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: of the stress out of credit markets through a cut

198
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 2: in interest rates. Is that fair?

199
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's fair. I think the banks would

200
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,599
Speaker 5: welcome cut in interest rates for two reasons. One, it

201
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 5: would reduce their funding costs and really shore up their

202
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 5: edgender margins that seem and some deterioration with rates as

203
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 5: elevated as they are. And number two, it'll just help

204
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 5: with refinancing risk. A lower rates will, you know, shure

205
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 5: up some of the potential hurdles with real estate refinancing,

206
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 5: and lower rates will help them being able to deal

207
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 5: with lower credit. Lower interest rate costs would be would

208
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 5: be helpful for a lot of the commercial real estate

209
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 5: borrowers that are facing maturing loans this year in the

210
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 5: next few years ahead.

211
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: Herman, what's your sense of who's the most vulnerable here?

212
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: The regional banks, the mall operators, the reats, what corner

213
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: of the marketplace is really exposed.

214
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a really good question for the banking system. Really,

215
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 5: the smaller in size you get typically the higher exposure

216
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 5: to commercial real estate. So you can think, for example,

217
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 5: the biggest regionals that I cover, like A P and

218
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 5: C or a US bank, have much smaller commercial real

219
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 5: estate exposure to smaller regional community banks because that's really

220
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 5: their bread and butter business, And banks like JAPM Morgan

221
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 5: have a much diversified operation, so any sort of charge

222
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 5: offs and loan losses in commercial real estate could be

223
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 5: readily absorbed. And then it's just going to be the

224
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 5: reads will have some exposure, commercial cnbs, We'll have some losses,

225
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 5: so it's going to be spread out across the financial system,

226
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 5: but it remains to be seeing who's really going to

227
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 5: be holding the bag.

228
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, last March you'll remember, well, I mean with the

229
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: stress that we had from signature and a couple of

230
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 2: the other characters at the time. I mean it created

231
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: an opportunity, there was a bit of consolidation. Do you

232
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: think that we could be looking at another phase where

233
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 2: stronger banks acquire weaker ones. I mean there might there

234
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: be a little bit more consolidation happening within maybe just

235
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: the regional bank arena, or where larger money center banks

236
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: kind of take a look at some of the regional

237
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: players as well.

238
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a very good question, and I think it's

239
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 5: an app when given where we are today, it's still

240
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 5: early to say. What's interesting, what the market is telling

241
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 5: us is that some of the more neat niche commercial

242
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 5: regional banks that were operating just a few years ago

243
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 5: are not no longer and I are no longer in

244
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 5: play anymore. Banks like SVB and First Republic and Signature

245
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 5: Bank had very narrow business operations. For example, SVB was

246
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 5: focused on Silk and Valley and lending the startups and

247
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 5: private equave venture capital. Signature was focused on commercial real

248
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 5: estate and crypto, and First Republic was focused on high

249
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 5: net worth and if you throw New York Community in there,

250
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 5: it's focused on regulated apartments in New York City. That's

251
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 5: the bread and butter business. So what the market thing

252
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 5: is telling us is that banks in the current backjob

253
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 5: need to be much more diversified businesses, so any sort

254
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 5: of losses in certain areas should be absorbed.
