Stephen Stanley joins us from Santander. 13 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 2: I looked up on a map where Santander is. It's 14 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: on the northern shore of Spain on the Mediterranean. I 15 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 2: did not know that. It's like an ancient city. It's like, 16 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 2: you know, old Spain. It's not like condominiums, you know 17 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 2: down south south of Sevila. 18 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 3: In a lot of history. 19 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 4: Yeah. 20 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 2: Have you gone back to the mother country yet? 21 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 5: To me? 22 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 3: So, I've been to Madrid, Yeah, of course. A huge 23 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 3: campus there. Beautiful. 24 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: Great to have you here today. Steve Stanley, which of 25 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 2: the letters in the alphabet soup of GDP are you 26 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: most focused on right now? 27 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 3: I think you have to be focused on the biggest one, 28 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 3: which is C. Definitely consumption. 29 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 2: What's the dynamic you see right now? 30 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 3: So the consumer was propelled last year by a very 31 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 3: strong labor market, So income growth was very strong and 32 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,320 Speaker 3: that supported good consumer spending. I think surprised almost everybody 33 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 3: on the upside. This year, income growth has slowed as 34 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 3: a labor market has cooled, but consumption has continued. So 35 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 3: in essence, I would argue consumers are spending a little 36 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 3: beyond their means. At this point, savings rate has decline 37 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 3: pretty sharply, so I think the consumer is likely to 38 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 3: slow down as we move forward, you know, into the 39 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 3: fourth quarter and early next year. 40 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: So what's your real GDP nomenal GDP view one year out? 41 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 3: I think we're gonna dip as low as four percent 42 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 3: or a little lower for a couple of quarters, and 43 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 3: then you know, once the nominal, Yeah, once these FED 44 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 3: cuts start to kick in later next year, I think 45 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 3: we'll start to creep higher again. 46 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: Dagan, this is important. This is something I'm not hearing 47 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: from a lot of people. We get under four percent. 48 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: Well, Stephen, I'm gonna be visiting Spain and Christmas, so 49 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: I'll inform you on santentia. 50 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 2: I appreciate that. 51 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 6: Look, let's talk about it. 52 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 2: When I wait a minute, you when I Steve, we 53 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: live for SaaS hours. 54 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 6: No stop. 55 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: Are you gonna spend five consecutive days at home? 56 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 5: No? 57 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, sure of course I love to spend time at home. 58 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: I mean, but let's get off that, Stephen. I have 59 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: to ask. I'm reading your let latest note ten FMC 60 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 1: meetings between now and the end of next year. The 61 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: medium dot is only one hundred and fifty bases points 62 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: below we are currently. What does that mean half of 63 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: those meetings they're only cutting by twenty five I mean 64 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: what I mean? 65 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 6: What does that mean to you? 66 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 3: I think that the idea here, it seems like with 67 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 3: this fifty basis point cut is let's rush at the beginning, 68 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 3: get closer to where we think we should be, and 69 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 3: then we can slow down as we go forward. 70 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 2: Remember it wasn't so long ago. 71 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 3: That the dots, as well as the consensus forecast amongst 72 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 3: private economists, had the fed going just twenty five at 73 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 3: every other meeting and doing that basically until they got 74 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 3: down to, you know, three percent ish. I think now 75 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 3: it feels like we're going to have fast at the 76 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 3: beginning and then we're going to probably devolve back to 77 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 3: that by sometime next year. 78 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: So does that mean a higher terminal rate in you 79 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: review or do you think that you know, we could 80 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: still see three percent. 81 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 4: I know. 82 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 3: I think it's it's between in my view, neutrals between 83 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 3: three and three and a half. I think we end 84 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 3: the cycle a little above three. But in that general neighborhood, 85 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 3: so they had a little over two hundred basis points 86 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 3: to go, they just bit off fifty in one and 87 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 3: by Is. 88 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 2: The effect to our listeners and viewers linear with those 89 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: rate cuts or is there a convexity or is it 90 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: quadratic in that the more they go, the bigger the wallop. 91 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,039 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it depends on what rates we're talking 92 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 3: about that are relevant to consumers. I mean, if you're 93 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 3: talking about mortgage rates, which are tied really to the 94 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 3: long end of the of the market, that hasn't moved 95 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 3: very much since the meeting, So mortgage rates have been 96 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 3: coming off already, but they haven't moved further on the 97 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 3: back of this fifty basis point move. If you're talking 98 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 3: about credit card rates or other rates that are floating 99 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 3: immediate impact. 100 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: What is business going to do here? Damien just mentioned 101 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 2: that M and A is really picking up. There's an 102 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 2: animal spirit, I guess to our nominal GDP. But the 103 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: I eleven percent whatever of the economy, what does business 104 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 2: investment do here? 105 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it. Certainly rate cuts are going to 106 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 3: be cheered. I will say in the short run, I 107 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 3: suspect that there's going to be at least some businesses 108 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 3: that are sitting on their hands until they see the 109 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 3: results of the election. So that is potentially a short 110 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 3: term drag. Although you know you mentioned M and A, 111 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 3: it may very well be that there are people that 112 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 3: want to get their deals done before a new administration 113 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 3: comes in, you know, hoping that they can get it 114 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: approved and get it locked away before there's a potential 115 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 3: for a change in regime one way or the other 116 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 3: that might affect that. 117 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: Stephen, in the twelve months after the Fed first cuts rates, 118 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: you know, commodities tend to perform really, really well. Do 119 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: you believe this time the same thing's going to happen 120 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: or is this time a little bit different there? 121 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, every cycle is a little bit different. 122 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 3: I think for commodities generally right now, one of the 123 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 3: big fundamentals that people are keeping a close eye on 124 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 3: as a Chinese economy, so there's a lot of concern 125 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 3: about weakness there. They're obviously the biggest demand source for 126 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 3: so many industrial comodity. 127 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 6: You have to pay attention to China though, certainly for commodities. 128 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 2: Absolutely. Let me give you doctor Wong's thesis here. As 129 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,559 Speaker 2: she sated last week, Anna one looks at three months 130 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: moving average down firm payrolls one hundred and sixteen thousand, 131 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 2: that's squishy with revisions, and then she models in the 132 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: highly debated birth death model and all the rest of 133 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 2: the noise. Stephen Stanley, you're expert at can you revise 134 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: down one sixteen to where this is already a nonfirm 135 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 2: payrolls report that causes concern. 136 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: You You can certainly make that assumption. I don't know 137 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 3: if you can make it safely. It's not unreasonable, but 138 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 3: it's a bit of a risk to extrapolate the downward 139 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 3: revisions that we have that go through March of last 140 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 3: year forward Beyond that, I think it's fair to say 141 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 3: that the more than likely the direction of the revisions 142 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 3: is negative. But you know, magnitude on pegging a magnitude, 143 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 3: it's all magnitude. Yeah, right, exactly. 144 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: Well, Stephen, we have a core pc ePrint coming in 145 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: on Friday. The market's looking for I think two point 146 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: six percent or two point seven percent. I think we 147 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: were two point six last time. But if you look 148 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: at quite frankly three and six month run rates, they've 149 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: slowed materiously materially, and the market's pricing and a softer 150 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: CPI over the next twelve months. What are your views 151 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: on inflation here in the US? Do you think it's 152 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: stay sticky at current levels? 153 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: Yeah? 154 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 3: So, I think as it relates to inflation, we've had 155 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 3: way too much of just extrapolating the last data point. 156 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 3: So we had the second half of last year core 157 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 3: inflation was very low, and everybody came into twenty twenty 158 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 3: four just assuming that inflation was dead. Then we had 159 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 3: three or four bad numbers to start the year and oh, wait, 160 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 3: inflation is you know, is going to be three percent forever. 161 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 3: Now we've had a couple of more benign readings and 162 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 3: we're ready to declare victory again. And I think the 163 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 3: problem is that a lot of that volatility is coming 164 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 3: in some of the most noisy categories, things like used 165 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 3: car prices and airfares that you can't extrapolate forward. So 166 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 3: I think I think that the reality is somewhere in 167 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 3: between what we saw in the first four months of 168 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 3: the year what we've seen since then. 169 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 2: Haven't asked this week. We get so many other distractions 170 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 2: going on. How about the real world of the inflation report. 171 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: I believe we see it on Friday as well. Does 172 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 2: that have the opportunity to surprise us or is it 173 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: a snooze fest. 174 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 3: Well, it's probably a snooze fest. But I'll tell you 175 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 3: the you know that. So the consensus is point two 176 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 3: on the core. But we had Governor Waller who spoke 177 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: on Friday and he said that the fed staff model 178 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 3: is telling them that it's going to be point one four. Now, 179 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 3: the difference between point one four and point one six 180 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 3: in reality isn't that much, but it makes a big 181 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 3: difference in the markets because all they see is point 182 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 3: one or point two. 183 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: There's a snapshot into the acuity of Steven Stanley Award 184 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: winning on Wall Street going out to two decimal points. 185 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 2: It's like an F one race or something. You know, 186 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 2: first place in second place is three thousands of a 187 00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 2: second or whatever. 188 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, Lando Norris McLaren landa redol. 189 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: This week I was. I went Singapore. 190 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 6: Oh my god, it was so good. You know us Grams. 191 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 6: He's coming up in less than a month, West Texas going. 192 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: You're going everywhere else? Why are you going to Austin? 193 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 2: Steve Stanley, thank you so much for sint Tandra. Our 194 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: conversation today on being in stocks. John Stolfus has been 195 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 2: brilliant at Oppenheimer and Company, or Chief investment Strategists, John Stolfus, 196 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 2: this bullmarket. How has it changed? What is the character forward? 197 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 5: Well, I think the character that's changed very much, of course, 198 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 5: is the Fed made its first cut on its benchmark 199 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 5: rate since March of twenty twenty, as I recall, which 200 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 5: is a dramatic change, and we were expecting twenty five BIPs. 201 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 5: They went for fifty. We think that was to escentually 202 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 5: that this is a down payment, is what we called it. 203 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 5: We're beginning to see others using that term, but we 204 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 5: think we were the first a down payment for Wall 205 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 5: Street and Main Street. Essentially a message from the Fed. 206 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 5: The FED hike cycle is essentially beginning to end. Here's 207 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 5: the first cut, Jamie, we. 208 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 2: Think it, yeah, Jamian March of twenty twenty up one 209 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty two percent. The SPX is up twenty 210 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 2: two percent annualized. Wow. 211 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I mean, John, you know you have to 212 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: help me kind of. I'm looking at this week. I'm 213 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: looking at data on the consumption side. At the end 214 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: of the week, I'm looking at housing on Wednesday. But 215 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 1: you know, we have a lot of FED speak. We 216 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: have gulesby Bostic, Bowman, cash Car, you name it. I mean, 217 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: just how focused are you going to be on some 218 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: of these FED speakers in the week after the FED cut. 219 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 5: Oh, we certainly will be listening. We a lot of 220 00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 5: our fundamental strategy is based on economic data, not just 221 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 5: the view in the rearview mirror, but also what it 222 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 5: suggests for going forward and the importance of the opinions 223 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 5: within the Federal Reserve. I've been doing this for forty 224 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 5: one years now, and I learned early on, when Volker 225 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 5: was in his second term, that you better understand the 226 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 5: FED and the chair of the FED if you're going 227 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 5: to play in equities or any markets for that matter. 228 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 6: But what we'd have. 229 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 5: To say, Bostic appears to be what we're listening to, 230 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 5: and we think, you know, this was a reasonable cut 231 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 5: and it had to do with the Chair has also 232 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 5: mentioned the Fed is focusing on both of its mandates 233 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 5: and this one has to do with jobs, and the 234 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 5: jobs were softening the Beijes book, the last Beige Book 235 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 5: showed weakness across the regions. I think that was the 236 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 5: response that took it to fifty pips. But we think 237 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 5: overall it's good for equities. Smalls and mids might actually 238 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 5: begin to see sustainable rallies. Yeah, if we looked at 239 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 5: Friday's performance, but let's see what generally speaking, it looks 240 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 5: better for them. 241 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 2: I mean, Stolfus is so old. When he entered the market, 242 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 2: Body Tyler was on top of billboard which totally clips 243 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: to the heart. 244 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 6: John. 245 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: That's how old Stulfus is. John. 246 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: My question is this is this just you know, Chair Powell, 247 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: you know Kingdom, dragging the committee members along with him, 248 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: or do they really have their own opinion in this market? 249 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 6: I mean, come on, get real here. I mean isn't 250 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 6: this just Powell? 251 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 4: Oh? 252 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 2: I think they. 253 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 5: I think they all have their own opinions, and if anything, 254 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 5: the Bernanky legacy opens it up. So we got all 255 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 5: this Fed speak, all these different opinions, but the general 256 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 5: opinions seems to be data dependent. Data improving. The two 257 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 5: percent tard is still elusive in terms of the headline number. 258 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 5: But where we're headed to is a better situation because 259 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 5: the FED has been it really has been, while remaining 260 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 5: remarkably sensitive to its dual mandate and the effects both 261 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 5: in terms of delay and the effects that it has 262 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 5: on both jobs and borrowing costs. 263 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 2: Tape recorders running. John stolefis, where are we twelve months 264 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 2: from now? Frame out the stock market out one year already? 265 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 2: You know time. 266 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 5: I usually prefer to do that in December because but 267 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 5: then this year we'll be beyond the election. But I 268 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 5: would suspect likely higher as long as we don't get 269 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 5: that Barton Biggs and the old days would have called 270 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 5: a boat from the blue or a sock to the jaw. 271 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 5: We'd have to think that things are just basically improving 272 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 5: if we can just keep it moderate growth with resilience 273 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 5: in jobs and economic growth, and corporate earnings. I think 274 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 5: we're good to go as long as we avoid getting 275 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 5: complacent and as long as we can avoid having the 276 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 5: vote from the blue hit US. I think considerably higher 277 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 5: and well beyond the fifty nine hundred target probably. 278 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,439 Speaker 1: John, just Holpful, I'm curious just how focus are you 279 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: on what's going on outside of the US. I mean, 280 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: we've got other Central Bank meetings Mexico, Switzerland, Sweden, Australia 281 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: this week, you know, are you focused on any of 282 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: that or are they all just following the Fed? 283 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 2: Oh? 284 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 5: Most certainly. We're globalists, you know, and we take a 285 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 5: look at the ECB and the problems they have within 286 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 5: their their multinational economy, the things that are occurring in 287 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 5: post brexit UK, and what's going on in Asia around 288 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 5: China as well as a g ping's regime. And it's 289 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 5: what we do see is really a mix and match 290 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 5: in some ways, but overall a desire to bring rates down. 291 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 5: But in some cases it's just it's still a little 292 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 5: bit too early, and in other cases maybe they're behind 293 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 5: the curve a bit. 294 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 2: John silphas quickly here on MEG seven. What do you see? 295 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 5: I see the Bag seven continuing to be have a 296 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 5: good place on stage, but sharing the spotlight with other sectors. 297 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 5: When it comes to artificial intelligence, it's already here. What 298 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 5: comes in the future, all the star Trek kind of stuff, 299 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 5: I'm showing my aging or are the star Wars still 300 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 5: showing my aging again? But my point is essentially it's 301 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 5: a reality today. It makes businesses more efficient. All eleven 302 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 5: sectors are the other nine versus the communication services that 303 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 5: information technology are very well poised to benefit and we 304 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 5: believe have already benefited in the efficiencies. The corporations have 305 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 5: had to navigate relatively tough waters through the Great Financial 306 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 5: Crisis and most recently the COVID situation, the supply chain disruption, 307 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 5: and dealing with overstimulation of the economy, and now into 308 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 5: a new world. 309 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 2: John, thank you. John Stulfus Optimistic is with opthirty. Henrietta 310 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 2: Trace joins us not from Veda Partners. Henriette I got 311 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: a really serious timely question all sorts of pundits writing 312 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: this morning that the vice president had a pretty good 313 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 2: weekend versus what the former president's doing. Fine, but she 314 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 2: is to make a switch. She's got a lot of 315 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 2: fat cat supporters. She wants to do an economic plan, 316 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 2: but will it be too progressive to liberal for her 317 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 2: fat cat supporters. 318 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 4: It doesn't look like they think that way with their pocketbooks, 319 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 4: if I'm not mistaken. Kamala Harris's latest fund raising round 320 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 4: with Wall Street folks was twenty seven million dollars, so 321 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 4: it seems like her adjustment moving off of a thirty 322 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 4: five percent corporate tax rate and down to twenty eight 323 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 4: percent is much more palatable to those donors. The capital 324 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 4: gains tax rate has dropped from thirty nine point twenty 325 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 4: eight percent, so it seams working. 326 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 2: How about salt tax? Within the drive time here? Oh, 327 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 2: this is Damien from North of New York rights in 328 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 2: how about that salt tax tax? Miss trays? Can Vice 329 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 2: President Harris get over to an elimination of this ownerous 330 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 2: tax and select blue states? 331 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 4: Well, I'd go a step further and say that the 332 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 4: House Democratic Ways and Means Committee is already over it. 333 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 4: I've been hearing from staff there for the last six 334 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 4: months that they are very happy to repeal the ten 335 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 4: thousand dollars cap. They have been that way for quite 336 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 4: some time. It's a one point two trillion dollar revenue racer. 337 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 4: But if you can go after some other items and 338 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 4: increase the deficit by you know, a trillion, two trillion, 339 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 4: maybe two and a half. 340 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 7: You don't need to do the salt cap going forward. 341 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: Okay, so Damian, you can't go home now, Yeah, no, Henriette, 342 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: you really need to clear up for maybe seven swing states, 343 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: namely Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and North Carolina and Nevada. 344 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: You know what theme should Harris be playing to? Is 345 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: it going to be Roe v Wade? National security? Is 346 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: it inflation? Is it growth here in the US? 347 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 6: Is it taxes? 348 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: You know what themes that you really need to hit 349 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: on to appeal to those voters. 350 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 7: I would say first amongst equals is abortion. 351 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 4: The gender divide in polling data on all these swing 352 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 4: states and nationally is really stark, and women make up 353 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 4: fifty two percent of the electorate. Kamala Harris pulls way 354 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 4: above Donald Trump on the issue of abortion, which is 355 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 4: now the number one issue for American voters that are 356 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 4: female and second only to the economy in New York 357 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 4: Times polling data, So that's probably number one. Immigration at 358 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 4: the southern border has been reduced back to pre twenty 359 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 4: twenty one levels, so it's not the same level of 360 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 4: urgency in terms of severe numbers that we've seen in 361 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 4: the past. And Trump has migrated the conversation over to 362 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 4: things that have been verified as false, such as Haitians 363 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 4: eating hats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio. So I think 364 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 4: that's new to the conversation without Harris having to really 365 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 4: try very hard. On the economy as well, you have 366 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 4: positive data sets that is reducing the amount of urgency 367 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 4: that independent voters feel about the economy right now. 368 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: Well, Henrietta to you and week here in New York. 369 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: So you know I have to ask you about national 370 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: security as well. Where does that stack up? I mean, 371 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: where does Israel stack up? Where does Ukraine stack up? 372 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 6: Relative to the brass Almost nowhere. 373 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 4: I mean, American voters just do not follow foreign policy 374 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 4: the way that they follow other domestic issues. 375 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 7: That's a perennial problem. 376 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 4: There are voters in Michigan and Wisconsin who will follow 377 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 4: this issue closely. But look at how many voters are 378 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 4: in the third party base right now. It's down to 379 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 4: two percent Jill Stein voters, for example, in states like 380 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 4: North Carolina and Wisconsin. That is your sort of outrage 381 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 4: vote around Israel, Palestine, and it's just not present at 382 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 4: this time. 383 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 2: I look Henrietta, where we are in Gregvillier with this 384 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 2: wonderful AGF don't really emphasizes this morning that the percolation 385 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 2: state to state is about nothing but abortion. Do you 386 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 2: agree with? That is the key debate? 387 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 7: I think it's the key debate. 388 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 4: Indeed, what I find really valuable to speak with investors 389 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 4: about this who may not have it on top of 390 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 4: their radar, is to think about. 391 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 7: What happened in twenty twenty two. 392 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 4: We had nine percent inflation, surging migration at the US border. 393 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 4: Abbott was sending migrants to Martha's vineyard, and Republicans still 394 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 4: got walloped in the House and Senate. That's all the 395 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 4: message you need. When female voters are thoroughly galvanized across 396 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 4: the nation, which is what we're seeing from voter registration data, 397 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 4: fundraising data, the urgency that Democrats and independents feel to 398 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 4: vote Democrats in particular is comparable only to the two 399 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 4: thousand and eight bomb a week and then one more 400 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 4: thing I'd add is that Harris's surge in favorability is 401 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 4: comparable only to Bush's posts nine to eleven in his favor, 402 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 4: So there's a lot of movement there. 403 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 2: Cook political report, here's what they got is toss up 404 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 2: Arizona eleventh, Georgia sixteenth, Michigan fifteenth, Nevada sixth, North Carolina sixteenth, 405 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 2: Pennsylvania nineteenth, Wisconsin tenth. Do you have polling in those 406 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 2: districts on this key issue of abortion. 407 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 7: Yes, they're polling. It's very limited though. 408 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 4: House pulling data in particular is really difficult to pull off. 409 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 7: The economy is always going to be number one. 410 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 4: But the issue there, as we've seen for the last 411 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 4: couple of months now, is that that's really sort of 412 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 4: a partisan lean. If you're a Republican, you think the 413 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 4: economy is terrible, if you're a Democrat, you think it's fine. 414 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 4: The issue is really independent and suburban voters who are 415 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 4: trending in favor of Kamala Harris by anywhere between eight 416 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 4: and thirteen points right now, including in a lot of 417 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 4: those swing districts, and that's what we're watching. A key 418 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 4: piece to watch is the potential scenario where Donald Trump 419 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 4: wins the election, Publicans win the Senate, which is my 420 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 4: expectation with ninety percent odds, but Democrats pick up the 421 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 4: House That's something that I talked about with investors a 422 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 4: lot on the road last week. 423 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 7: I think the odds are rising. 424 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 4: It's because Democrats have so much money to spend down 425 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 4: ballot that they can bolster and expand the map in 426 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 4: these critical house races. 427 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: Henrietta, just talk to us about the timeline here as 428 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: we get into the election in early November, Like, what 429 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,719 Speaker 1: you know, what data points are you most looking at? 430 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: I mean, is it going to be the payroll prints 431 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: in the first week of October? I mean, no more debates. 432 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: I mean what dates really stand out to you as 433 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: we kind of head on over the next thirty days. 434 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 7: Man, I wish there was the payroll data. 435 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,120 Speaker 4: I just don't see that transcending to the American voter. 436 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 4: You know, they're sitting where between four and eleven percent 437 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 4: of the electorate that's undecided right now. 438 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 7: Fed me and I think that you hear from the Kamala. 439 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 4: Harris campaign is that they're looking for millions of eyeballs 440 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 4: at a time. So that means they're looking to do 441 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 4: and Trump is also looking to do a sixty minutes 442 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 4: interview in late October, potentially eyeing in October twenty fifth 443 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 4: debate between Trump and Harris, and then of course the 444 00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 4: October first. 445 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 7: Debate between Vans. And it's really the. 446 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 2: Next thing, just how moments ago New York Times, Siena. 447 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 2: I believe this is moments ago Trump leads Harris fifty 448 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 2: to forty five percent in Arizona. When you see a 449 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 2: poll like that, Henriette, we're all benumbed by it. I 450 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 2: mean it's like, you know, it's just too much. Does 451 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,959 Speaker 2: that pole have veracity? Do you plus or minus all 452 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 2: the statistical noise? 453 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 4: I think the New York Times polling data is extraordinary. 454 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 4: I mean they're calling two hundred and fifty thousand people 455 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 4: or one hundred and fifty thousand people, two hundred and 456 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 4: five phone call, five thousand phone calls just to get 457 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 4: folks on the line to answer these calls. But to 458 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 4: illustrate how difficult the polling data is. The Arizona example 459 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 4: you use is perfect. Before the debate it was Kamala 460 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 4: Harris plus five, and now after the debate it's Trump 461 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 4: plus five. This has an extraordinarily difficult science. I think 462 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 4: it's important to take the averages Harris has worked to 463 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 4: do in Arizona as the bottom line. 464 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 2: Thank you, I'm sorry, Henriette, my answers to ignore them. 465 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 2: All Heny had a trace. We do not ignore. She 466 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 2: was the Veda partners in Just Brilliant Year and the 467 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 2: front pages of Lisa Matteo or Lisa what do you have? 468 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 8: Okay, so we know the NFL played its first regular 469 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 8: season game in Brazil right earlier this month you had 470 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 8: the Eagles and the Green Bay Packers. It was September sixth, 471 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 8: But this weekend the Journal actually had a write up 472 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 8: where they spoke with fans and they tried to get 473 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 8: reaction from it because this is huge soccer country, right, Okay, 474 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 8: so a lot of people there. They described the game 475 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 8: as this confusing, slow moving match by men dresses astronauts. 476 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 8: They didn't really understand it, but the fans were excited. 477 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 8: I mean they turned up about three hours before kickoff, 478 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 8: so that was some of the things they did. 479 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 2: The London football worked well. 480 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: It certainly hasn't for all our listeners down in so 481 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 1: Polo and Rio. I will be in town from the 482 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: twelfth to the eighteenth of October. So if you need 483 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: any learning how to enjoy the game of American football, 484 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: I will be there. I will be on hand and 485 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: look it's not all about Jaselle Bunch and Tom Brady anymore. Right, 486 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: there's bigger issues at large here. Can't wait to get 487 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: down there. 488 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 8: Taylor Swish is the bigger is Bruno Marris. 489 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 6: Bruno Mars is coming down to sell Pola. 490 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 5: No. 491 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: But it's the bigger issue is the New York Jets. 492 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: The New York Jets look great. And for our friends 493 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: in Brazil, you know we like to wear green. 494 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. Next, where are you going to be in Brazil? 495 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 6: Twelvey the eighteen twelve. 496 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: My mom's gonna come with me all she's going to Yeah, 497 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: miss my mother. Yeah, she's seventy something years old. We're 498 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: gonna get her on a plane. We're going to get 499 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: her down there. 500 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 6: She's never been. Should be fun. 501 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 8: You're a little mom. Next, okay, we've been talking about 502 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 8: the commute in the city, right nightmare. This week the 503 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 8: best City for Commuters. Wall Street Journal came out with it. 504 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,719 Speaker 8: So it asks people what's more important to you when 505 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 8: it comes to commute? Is it time or cost? Think 506 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 8: about it, what's more important? So a lot of people 507 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 8: said it's their time that counts more.
