1 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. I'm Tom Keene with 2 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: David Gura. Daily we bring you insight from the best 3 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 1: of economics, finance, investment, and international relations. Find Bloomberg Surveillance 4 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Bloomberg dot Com, and of course, 5 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: on the Bloomberg Five Things That Need to Know. We're 6 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: gonna a guest fight things and talk about just two 7 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: things here with Alan Krueger. It's Professor Krueger Princeton. Let's 8 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: just do two things here within the time we've got 9 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 1: how's the minimum wage experiment going in Seattle? I think 10 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,279 Speaker 1: the evidence is quite mixed for Seattle. The way I 11 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: read it, it looks like experience with the minimum wage 12 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 1: elsewhere has not had an adverse effect on um minimum 13 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: wage employers. You know, if you look at the Seattle 14 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: labor market, it's booming, and I think that makes it 15 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: a little bit harder to tease out effects of the 16 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: minimum wage. But uh, certainly in the aggregate, there's no 17 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: sign that Seattle's high minimum wage has had a negative effect. 18 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: Within this is the crushing reality that wait, if you 19 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: raise the minimum wage, the wages go up above it, 20 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: not way above it. But there's a sequential, almost bucket 21 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 1: brigade effect. Is that still true? There's a spillover effect 22 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: of the minimum wage there, there's no question about that. 23 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 1: And that's one of the challenges for one of the studies, 24 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: which cuts off. You know, if people got a raised 25 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: and got promoted and that was a result of the 26 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: minimum wage, it makes it look like it was job loss. 27 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: So I think that's a problem with one of the 28 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: studies that's gotten a lot of attention. The other two 29 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: things we need to know Freenzy and I'm gonna bring 30 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: this in, but jump into your fancy please. I love it. 31 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: Seventy thousand dollars a year, going up to eighty thousand 32 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: next year. Prinston, Hi, dad, what are you doing? Oh? 33 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: I'm taking the economics of rock music? Are you kid me? 34 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: Have you got any hate notes from parents about the 35 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: economics rock music? This is uh the UH. I have 36 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: to say, the best class I've ever taught. The students 37 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: are learning so much, they're so engaged. What better way 38 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: of teaching supply and demand uh than talking about iPods 39 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: and streaming and um, it's a great way of teaching economics. 40 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: I have to say, Yeah, And actually This is a 41 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: serious point. It wasn't Jay Z the first one to 42 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: kind of cut the middleman and going straight to Apple music, right? 43 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: I think it was on surveillance it's Z. Does this 44 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: help explain inflation dynamics? That's actually question? You know what 45 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: are the questions I got from the students is what's 46 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: going on with inflation? Um? And Uh. It's it's a 47 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: freshman course, Tom and um. It a mussel lot of writing, 48 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: which was the goal of the course. And I have 49 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: been talking about disruption and technological change of productivity growth, 50 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: and I think you know, what's going on with being 51 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: able to buy products on the internet had put some 52 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: doward pressure on inflation. I was in a meeting yesterday 53 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: with General worst Span and she turned to me and said, well, 54 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: so what do you think Krueger and Davos? And I said, 55 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: you have to go to Davos precisely because of this. 56 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: The answer is technology is an overlay is evident large 57 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: and it's a mystery, isn't it? It is? And there's 58 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: really no better place to study it than the music industry. 59 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: Think of all the technology that was, including the medium 60 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: what we're using right now, radio and the role radio 61 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: played in music. But go back to uh the gramophone 62 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: and um, Francy can't do that. You and I can 63 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: do that. I only listen well the students. The students 64 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: didn't know what I meant when I said eight track. 65 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: So in the economics world, in Francine's world across the Atlantic, 66 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: their short term, medium term, long term. In American economics, 67 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: with maybe a historic simplicity, there's cheke out, medium term, 68 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: there's a short term, and long term. In Chicago is 69 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: just do more microeconomics, and in Princeton it's like do 70 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: more history. Okay, I get all that. What does transitory mean? 71 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: Transitory isn't in any of the textbooks I would suggest 72 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: Transitory is in Chicago, transitory is in uh Princeton. When 73 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: Cherry Yellen says transitory inflation, what does that mean? Well, 74 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: the way I interpret it is that we're not on 75 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: the path that we think we're on, that the transitory detour, 76 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: but we're gonna get back to the path that we 77 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: think we're on. Is the X axis normal? Is it? 78 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: Is it? Is she thinking short term? Is she's thinking 79 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: long term? Or is it a new invention on the 80 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: X axis. I think it's a short term you know, Uh, 81 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: my interpretation to transitory, which uh the term I probably 82 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: used in some of my papers, is that we have 83 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: shocks which we think are going to fade, and because 84 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: we think the short term shocks, we can consider it 85 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: as transitory. In Francy, that would be the two back 86 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: to back press conferences mentioning wireless cell phone right, and 87 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: I understand that it's transitory unless it isn't anymore, professor. 88 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: In the UK, we had a shock, and of course 89 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: it's pound so you can argue that we have transitory 90 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: inflation here. But in the US, how do we know 91 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: that these phone bills will actually won't stay at the 92 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: same level. I mean, it's it's kind of it could 93 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: be more structural. Well, it could stay at the same level, 94 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: but what's important is the rate of change. So we 95 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: kind of absorbed the transitory shock from from prices dropping 96 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: that that that's I think the argument that one could 97 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: quite plausibly make. Also, you know, the U S economy 98 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: is pretty diverse, and as much as the Phillips curve 99 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: gets criticized, it is the cases the economy gets tighter. 100 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: Traditionally we see wage growth and we see inflation that's 101 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: been more sluggish in this recovery, but I think the 102 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: underlying dynamics are probably there. I think they've probably been 103 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: blunted by changes in the labor market, by weakness of 104 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: labor unions in the US, for example. UM But to 105 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: my mind, that looks like we're seeing some signs of 106 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: that dynamics still still operating. If we see the tax 107 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: overhaul that's been promised to come into something concrete. So 108 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: I don't know whether we see the details, But what 109 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: would that actually change. Does it change dynamics and GDP 110 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: significantly or would that also be transitory. It's a good question. Um. 111 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: I think it could have lasting impacts. Um. Of course, 112 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 1: it depends upon the shape of the tax changes what's 113 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: been proposed. You know, if the state local tax deduction 114 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: is eliminated, that's going to dramatically affects state local investment 115 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: in infrastructure, hiring of of UM first responders, things like that. 116 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: Other sectors which we'll get tax cut could potentially expand. 117 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: Uh So I think the tax proposal and the broad 118 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: outlines could have substantial effects on the US economy. Also, 119 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: I think we need to take into account in the 120 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: long run, the impact than the deficit. If The proposal 121 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: from the Trump administration adds two and a half trillion 122 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: dollars to US debt over over the next decade. I 123 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: think that's going to affect our borrowing costs. I think 124 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: it's going to crowd out private sector investment. When we 125 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: get to Jobs Day today, obviously it's hurricane adjusted, hurricane 126 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: aberration and the answers smooth out the moving averages? Do 127 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: you do that? Do you take three months and divided 128 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: by three? I believe it's a little too much math 129 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: for me this morning. How do you adjust to a 130 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: one off of hurricane data change? How do you How 131 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: does it pro do that? Well, first of all, I 132 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: think the first thing to look for is going to 133 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: be signs of the hurricane. Um Hurricane Katrina had a 134 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: major impact on employment. Uh, the tropical storm Sandy did 135 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: not have much of an impact unemployment. Surprisingly, So I 136 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: think you look at certain industries that are more weather affected, 137 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: and you look at regions in the country. But on 138 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: a Matthew basis, Professor Krueger that I think the trip 139 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: of the media is to take three months at averaging together. 140 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: And I'm going to suggest a pro like uses no 141 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: wait and get more data and then regress it out 142 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: to see where we are. So a guy like you 143 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: can't go out one or two months, you gotta go 144 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: out six months or twelve months of data and then 145 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: see where the trend is. A. I right on that. Well, 146 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: thanks for giving my answer that that's absolutely right, and 147 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: I think that was an A. That's amazing. I went 148 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: from a C minus up to a quality C plus. 149 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: But you know what, I what I would say is, 150 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: rather than averaging it, I would look for an ad 151 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,599 Speaker 1: factor and say, for this month, what is it that 152 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: we think we need to add to exactly? Yeah, And 153 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: I guess if if you're in the markets, right, which 154 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 1: is the difference between the markets and maybe the pros 155 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: is that you need to take a shorter term bet 156 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: because otherwise you're gonna lose money, right, professor, Whereas if 157 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: you're an academic you can you can take the longer view. 158 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: Do you believe that the way the markets are working 159 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: are are kind of distorting our economic views? Well, I 160 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: think that's true to some extent, But the markets are 161 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: also trying to figure out how the fetes going to 162 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: interpret the job's report. And I think you know, many 163 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: investors recognized that the fed is going to take a 164 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: longer run view and try to see through the effects 165 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: of the hurricanes. I have done this before with you, 166 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,599 Speaker 1: and I don't like doing it. Professor. Ku're going to 167 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: rip up the script and go to an exceptionally important 168 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: monograph you put out years ago called What Makes a Terrorist? 169 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: I read every word of it, every footnote. I was 170 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: thunderstruck at the time of how you wrote about the 171 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: people that do these terrible things. Can you take your 172 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: historic work who becomes a terrorist? Where does terror emerge? 173 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: What does terrorism accomplish? Can you take that monograph and 174 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: bring it over to domestic terrorism like what we saw 175 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas? Uh? Well, thank for bringing up the book, 176 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: and you have good timing because the tenth anniversary edition 177 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: is going to come out by the end of the year, 178 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: and I wrote a new quite long introduction asking exactly 179 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: the question you asked me. How the results hold up 180 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: over the last ten years. Does this apply to domestic terrorism? 181 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: I would be hesitant to describe Las Vegas in the 182 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: same language as we talk about other acts of terrorism, 183 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 1: since we don't know the motives yet of this individual 184 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: and this disturbed individual. Um looking at other incidents of 185 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: domestic terrorism, both in the US and abroad. The domestic 186 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: terrorists look like they're more drawn from the middle rather 187 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: than the elites. They're not the most impoverished, the least educated. 188 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: They look like people who were on a path towards 189 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: middle class, towards college education in many cases, and then 190 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: they fell off that path and became radicalized. UM. So 191 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: it's more pushed to the middle when it comes to 192 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: domestic terrorism. Professor, how has social media changed terrorism in 193 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: the lost enderts? Uh, it has had a profound effect. 194 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: It's made it much easier for terrorist organizations to outsourced terrorism, 195 00:10:55,320 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: to recruit, uh, to basically franchise terrorism U. UM. I 196 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: think that's changed the nature of terrorist attacks. H. They're 197 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: less catastrophic in their scale um, and they're a little 198 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: bit more sporadic. So I think it's had I think 199 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: it has had a major impact. All right, how will 200 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: it change in the next ten years? Is it actually 201 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: impossible to study this, as you know, with hard data 202 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: like economics, because it has more to do with emotions 203 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: and allegiances. Well, that's a good question. It also has 204 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 1: to do with counter terrorism activities. UM. You know, I 205 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: think fundamentally terrorist organizations are trying to pursue some type 206 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: of a goal, and they're using the means that they 207 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: think are going to be most effective for them in 208 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: pursuing that goal. I don't think that will change, but 209 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: I think the means that they have at their disposal 210 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: could change as technology changes going forward. This has been wonderful. 211 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: It's so nice to see you. Not after you sat 212 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: having coffee. Coffee in Venice, which was the last time 213 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: You're finally back teaching. I was at a conference. Okay, well, 214 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: we're never gonna forget coffee with Alan Krueger in Venice 215 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: while we're in the sweaty confines of Manhattan. Allen Krueger, 216 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: thank you on this job. Stay always in particularly important 217 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: perspective on the American labor economy. He is with Princeton 218 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: University and look for the new UH addition. I guess 219 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: I should say what makes a terrorist? Now? In Bloomberg 220 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: Radio Bloomberg Television Worldwide, William Gross joins us. He is 221 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: with Janice Henderson as we look at markets on the move. 222 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: I know that on television, John Fare on the team 223 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: have been doing the market movement today, but yields higher dollar, 224 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: stronger Bill gross just simply is at morning in America, 225 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: well at the early morning, the beginning to be morning 226 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: here in Newport Age. I think to the extent that 227 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: your question implies wages are moving higher and that you know, 228 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: the average wage journal will make more and spend more. Um, 229 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: I think that's probably a positive. I note that the 230 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: wages tom were revised higher in terms of the last month, 231 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: as though we have a two point seven percent y 232 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: o Y and perhaps had it higher. So I think 233 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: that's good for American workers. Within this is a pretty 234 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: good revisions. I mean we revised up I guess pre 235 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: hurricane and that how does Janice Henderson and adapt and 236 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: adjust to the hurricane distraction? Well, you basically try and 237 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: throw it out for a month in terms of the 238 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: employment numbers. You know, we're negative asion mentioned in terms 239 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: of the the job growth. So you throw that out. 240 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: You look at the wages and you wonder whether or 241 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: not that to some extent was affected by distortions. Probably 242 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 1: not as much. And and so uh, this is definitely 243 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: a situation here at Janice with analysis of the Fed. 244 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: Looking at the FED rate hike in December. You know, 245 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: as long as financial markets ring firm, they certainly are 246 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: as long as wages begin to rise towards uh you know, 247 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: three percent, they certainly are. And I think the Fed 248 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: is slam dunk in terms of raising rates in December. 249 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: You know, John H. David Weston has given me great 250 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: charts on Bloomberg Daybreak on television. Folks of weaker Japanese. Yeah, 251 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: you've really got a jump condition to a weaker Japanese 252 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: uh yen. And the idea here of a regime change 253 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: bill gross not. You know what you're gonna do on 254 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: this Friday morning in Newport Beach, But is there going 255 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: to be a regime change within your janus unconstrained fund 256 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: because you're starting to get a little more lift and 257 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 1: you're starting to get a little more wage growth. Yeah, 258 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: I think, you know, unconstrained basically means that you're not 259 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: constrained in terms of duration. You can do other things 260 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: things as well. Um, you know the beauty of the 261 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: unconstrained fundness that can go negative in terms of duration. 262 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: That is basically looking for higher rates and making money 263 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: off of higher rates as opposed to vice versa. And 264 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: that's what you know we've done over the past few weeks. 265 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: Certainly in Germany, UM and now in the US. You 266 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: know we're approaching critical levels. I think Tom on that 267 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: tenure for instance, now probably at two forty, I haven't 268 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: seen it in the last minute, but now at to forty, 269 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: that we're at a two forty critical level, a long 270 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: term down trend line. Uh since the early nineteen eighties 271 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: were interest rates have formed by twenty basis points on 272 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: average per year, and we're there at two point four percent. 273 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: It basically means to me that, you know, if the 274 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: economy is strong, if wages are intern up moved, then 275 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: you know, perhaps we can break that trend line and 276 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: move above to forty. But for the moment to me, 277 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: technically that's where we stop, at least for this day. 278 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: And this is so critical, folks. The idea of Bill 279 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: Grows previously telling is two point even major of HSBC 280 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: on this morning looking for Yeah, rates could go up, 281 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: but then a damper. Let's take the word transitory. Bill 282 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: grows over from yelling and inflation over to William Gross 283 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: and you gotta run a bond portfolio. Will these higher 284 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: yields be transitory? And is it lower for longer? Whatever? 285 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: That wherever that band maybe? Well, I think we are 286 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: lower for longer. There's no doubt about that, and that 287 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: is what the Fed another Central Banks described as the 288 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: neutral real The FED funds rate supposedly now around zero 289 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: with inflation, you know, somewhere around one point five or 290 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: so um. But but I think it won't be transitory. 291 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: I think if in fact, we move above to forty 292 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: instead of to six. They remember I said that interest 293 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: rates are following by twenty basis points a year, and 294 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: at to sixty was about a year ago. But if 295 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: if we move above two point four, oh, then I 296 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: think there is a chance that this law term bull 297 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: market in bonds is broken and that the bond investors 298 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: should be on the defensive as opposed to the offensive. 299 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 1: That's an exceptionally important statement you've heard there from Mr 300 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: Gross in the over decade that we've spoken to us. 301 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: Let's dive into that deeper now, where I'm gonna quote 302 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,479 Speaker 1: the four digits two point three eight bill with that 303 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: important statement of a regime change with a two forty print, 304 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: how do we adapt and adjust? Let's start with the 305 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: equity market correlated into bonds. Is the stock market linked 306 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: into your two point four zero percent yield world we'll share. 307 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: They're all linked. And you know, typical questions and responses, um. 308 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: You know, to those types of questions will say, well, 309 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: we're okay on the stock market until we get to 310 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 1: three percent on the tenure or four percent on the tenure. 311 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: I think we're inexorably linked on a much shorter term basis. Um. 312 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's not to say that five basis points 313 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: on the tenure will mean a hundred negative points on 314 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: the Dow. But those things are connected. It's all connected. Um. 315 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: You know, a recent last night article from The Economist 316 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 1: in terms of the overvaluation of all assets. You know, 317 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: to my way of thinking is true. You know, the 318 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: low interest rates everywhere, and they're negative in many parts 319 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: of the world, still basically have distorted prices in terms 320 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: of equity, in terms of commercial real estate, in terms 321 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: of spreads on high yield bonds, etcetera, etcetera. And so yes, 322 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: this is critically important on the tenure to define other 323 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: asset prices. And if we move significantly higher to forty 324 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: to fifty to sixty, investors have got to understand that 325 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: the connection is a negative influence on their asset holdings. 326 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: Bill Then then one final question. You're when I want 327 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: to come back and really address this important statement for 328 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: Mr Gross folks on the idea of a regime, a 329 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: regime change at two point four zero percent. When we 330 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: do that, will we do it with light paths of 331 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: stability or will it be a lot more volatility in 332 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: those old jump conditions it made you gray years ago. 333 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: Which is it going to be? Bill? I think stability, 334 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: because not many people will believe me in terms of 335 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: the long term downtrend. They look at other things. They'll 336 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: look at the Bollinger band, and they'll look at the 337 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: you know, the near term STA tests, stochastics and so um, 338 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: and the FED will come in and try and talk 339 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: markets down. So you know, I think it will be 340 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: a gradual up move. But to my way of thinking, 341 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 1: if to forty to forty five, don't let me hedge 342 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: it here. But if five is broken, to me, that's 343 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: a significant sign that the long term bull market is over. 344 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna come back with Bill Gross. You just heard 345 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 1: one of the most important statements I've heard from Mr Growth, 346 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: Mr Gross and well over ten years, the idea of 347 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: a regime change and the great moderation if we go 348 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: above a two forty. I'm a ten year you know, 349 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: give some wiggle room there. I don't want to nail 350 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: him right down to that. But two point three eight 351 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 1: up three basis points the tenure right now with the 352 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: two year yield up again another three basis points as well. 353 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 1: This is absolutely critical the idea of a regime change 354 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: off of a twenty year great moderation. We will do 355 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: that with Bill Gross from New York from London this morning. 356 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg with us William Gross of Janice Henderson. Bill, 357 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: what you said in our last section is so important 358 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: over this crisis and even before the crisis, it would 359 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: be irresponsible if I didn't have you recapitulated. Let me 360 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: be clear here, Bill. You go from a two sixty 361 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: and if we get to sustain to forty yield, you 362 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: would suggest that breaks the Great moderation. Yeah, above two 363 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: forty time. And let me explain that because it seems 364 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 1: like a lot of hocus focus. Um. You know that 365 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: the tenures started out at its peak and early eighties 366 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: with the Vulcar around, And the fact is we can 367 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: analyze this, look at it that has come down by 368 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: twenty basis points a year to this point. It got 369 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: a little bit lower a few years ago, of course, 370 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: but that was below trend line. But the trend line 371 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 1: was moving down at twenty basis points a year. And 372 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: why is that important. It's important because it allowed for 373 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:19,479 Speaker 1: refinancing of mortgages, allowed for uh more attractive purchases of homes, 374 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,119 Speaker 1: that allowed for corporate interest expense to go lower and 375 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: profits to go higher. It was what the economy needed 376 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 1: to sustain a four to five percent nominal GDP rate, 377 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: which is really what the FEDS targeting. So that was 378 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: the magic number per year. The FED didn't mandate twenty 379 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: basis points per year, but that um, you know, based 380 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: upon their their FED fund decreases and their quantitative easy purchases, 381 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 1: you know, is what it produced. Now they were down 382 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: to two point four percent and two point three It 383 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: seems to me that the question is can the economy 384 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: sustain itself without lower and lower interest rates? And that 385 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: will be the question if it breaks two, for investors 386 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: will be at the assumption that perhaps the economy can 387 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: survive on its own with without lower and lower interest ry. 388 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: I know Francine Lakwen London wants to get and really 389 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: take this globally. He wants to get into your bill. 390 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 1: But one more question for me, and then an ample 391 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: time for miss Laka. This is profoundly important what you're 392 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: saying for the FED. And all I can think of, 393 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: Bill is what you study to do in years and 394 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: years and years, be careful what you wish for. If 395 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: Janet Yellen gets a higher yield structure in a little 396 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: bit higher inflation, what's the outcome that could mess up 397 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 1: the central bank cart Well, the outcome is that they 398 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,719 Speaker 1: go too far in terms of FED funds. And this 399 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: is where I joined with the Neil kush carry. It's 400 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: probably not the next FED chairman, but he has been 401 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 1: cautioning for a long time that there's a yeah, there's 402 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: a limit in terms of what the FED can do 403 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 1: uh and and the economy can survive because on the 404 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: other side of this argument, um into strates can't go 405 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: too high because it's highly levered and highly levered economy 406 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: UH with higher and higher interest rates, you know, runs 407 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: into problems in terms of destruction and infrast rate cover 408 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: and the like and the like, and so um you know, 409 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: a central bank can't go too high right now. Just 410 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: to add one additional point on other central banks, are 411 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: not of the same persuasion. They don't have the same 412 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: stance in terms of raising interest rates, um like the 413 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: FED will do in my opinion in December. So you 414 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: have this this cushioning effect by the e c B 415 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: and by the BOJ where they're putting in a trillion 416 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: dollars worth of money every year. And so that's why 417 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: I say that the increase will probably be gradual as 418 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: opposed to dramatic going forward. Good morning from London, Mr 419 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: Bill Gross. Will the next FED chair actually be central 420 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: bank or to the world or only to the U S? Well, Um, 421 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: I would hope to the world the U S dollars 422 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: still the global currency. And as long as it is, 423 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: you know, there's no doubt in my mind that the 424 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 1: interest rates in the US is set by the Fed. 425 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: On the short term side, you know, our important consideration 426 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: going forward depends on the chairperson. Of course, I think 427 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: Yellen has treated uh, you know, the fit as the 428 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: global central banker, although she won't acknowledge that. But perhaps 429 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: we'll get a different persuasion of someone like Cohen or um. 430 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: I suppose even Powell, although I'm not a Powell advocate 431 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: going forward, but they seem to be the choices that 432 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: the market is talking about. You deeput in charge? Well, 433 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: I I uh, strangely enough, I joined Jeffrey Gunlock and 434 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: this one it's not going to happen. I don't think 435 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: I won't predict it. But Neil Caskari has got great 436 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: experience in terms of the Layman crisis. We know that 437 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: he's had experience at Goldmen, he's had experience at PEMCO. 438 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: I know him for three years. He's a brilliant man. Uh, 439 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: And he's got ideas that are a little bit different 440 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: than other central bankers. He looks at the market a 441 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: little bit different from a structural standpoint as opposed to 442 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: simply a statistical Taylor model type of rule. And so yeah, 443 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: he's young, he's only been there for a year or two. 444 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: He'd be my choice, but he's not. He's not going 445 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: to read a choice, Franzy, And I'm confused, Bill, who's 446 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: a brilliant man, Jeff Gunlock or Neil cush Carry. Oh 447 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 1: excuse me, I wasn't quite sure that. Okay, we've got 448 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: Jeff Gunlock, and we've got Jeff Gunlock and Bill Gross 449 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: in the same page, which is always good Benny would 450 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: suggest Mr gross Sir, that you're talking your book, not 451 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: that Mr Gunlock has ever been a challenge with the 452 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 1: idea of talking his book. What kind of economy would 453 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: Neil cush Cary give us, say, versus a rules based 454 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:58,639 Speaker 1: John Taylor of Stanford University. Well, that's interesting too, because 455 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: Taylor is a potential choice, and I was looking up 456 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: on your Bloomberg system. There's a model there Taylor t 457 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: Y L O R and you can put in your 458 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 1: own inputs. It depends on what. It depends on what 459 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 1: Taylor thinks is the natural rate of unemployment. And it 460 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,199 Speaker 1: makes a huge difference. If the natural rate of unemployment 461 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: is five and a quarter versus four in a quarter, 462 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: which it seems to be at the moment, then FED funds, 463 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,479 Speaker 1: you know, should be a hundred basis points different. In 464 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: other words, at UH at four in a quarter uh 465 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: in terms of a nehru as we call it, and 466 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,879 Speaker 1: the tailor rule with some modifications in your system, you know, 467 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: basically suggests that we're there. And in terms of where 468 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: FED funds should be. So what would Taylor do? Uh, 469 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: he'd probably follow the tailor rule and UH, you know, 470 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: at the moment absent modifications, he'd probably raise interest rates 471 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: a little bit. Cash carry I don't think would Mr Chris. 472 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: I'm looking at dollar yen so it seems to be 473 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: retesting hundred and thirteen. A lot of technical less saying 474 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: if it close is above, it looks like on fourteen 475 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: it's next big level. Actually, if the Fed hikes UM 476 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 1: in December, what's the hues the central bank that's going 477 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: to have the toughest time. Well, it depends on if 478 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: they're fixated on their currency, and I wouldn't deny that 479 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: they are, although they don't speak to it. UM. I 480 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 1: don't think the b o J is moving. The b 481 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: o J is the last central bank to move off 482 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 1: of their stance. The stance at the moment is a 483 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: cap on the tenure of ten basis points and basically 484 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 1: flat for short term interest rates. They they'll stay there 485 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: until inflation. Uh, you know sees the whites of two 486 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: percent or or hiring. That may not happen. Uh. The 487 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: e c B is changing, as we know, probably will 488 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: reduce quantitative easing. UM. So I I'd say the biggest challenge, 489 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: as your question points out, is uh, just in terms 490 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: of the b o J, the end will gradually weaken 491 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: if they seem firm on the stance, and they, to 492 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: my way of thinking, they will be Bill. One more question, 493 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: if we could, you have been very generous with your 494 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: time this morning. If we get the sea change view 495 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: of Bill gross above a two point four zero, with 496 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: the idea of the great moderation being over, can you 497 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: link that to your historic claim that financial repression will continue? 498 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: Can you now say we may see an end two 499 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: retirees financial repression? No, I don't think so. You know, 500 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: what would it take on the tenure? Would it take 501 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: three percent four percent? Uh, in order to begin to 502 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: compensate savers and not to repress them? You probably, Tom, 503 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: And you know it's it's a it's a shaky definition 504 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: in terms of repression. But you know, financial repression existed 505 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: for thirty or four years after World War Two until 506 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 1: the Volker era, and I assume that it's going to 507 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: continue for ten twenty thirty years here as well. And 508 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: that means that interest rates aren't going to keep going down, 509 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about, but they may not go up, 510 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: uh significantly. We will continue to be repressed. Savers will 511 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: continue to get the short end of the stick. Bill, 512 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: You've been most generous to your time and over the 513 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: over decade that you and I have worked together. Thank 514 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: you so much for this perspective this morning, Bill Gross, 515 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: of Janice Henderson, there really without what I'm going to 516 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 1: editorialize as a regime change and what if if we 517 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: get out over sustained higher rates. That was exceptionally interesting. 518 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 1: Francying just a completely different tone given where we are, 519 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: and as you mentioned, francing equity futures trade down. Is 520 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: Mr Gross suggested that's that correlation. Yeah, it certainly is 521 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: if you look at you know, some of the dynamics 522 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: is currencies seem to be moving one way and actually futures, 523 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: you know, don't not liking the job reports, So I 524 00:29:50,120 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: wonder whether there's a little bit of dichotomy their tom. 525 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: It is always a well timed conversation, and today a 526 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 1: more nuanced conversation with our National Economic Director Mr Khne. 527 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 1: Of course, formerly with Goldman Sachs. Gary Cone has been 528 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: I think, very transparent about the politics. Right now, here's 529 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: David Weston with Home where we're joined by Gary Khne, 530 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: director of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. Welcome back, 531 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: to the program. Very very good for you to join us. 532 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,719 Speaker 1: So we've been reporting extensively on these numbers since they 533 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: came out an hour ago. And we've got the problems 534 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: with the hurricane and affected the overall number of jobs, 535 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: but you've got really strong numbers on unemployment sixteen year 536 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: low and also on wage growth at two point nine 537 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: percent annualized. Let's put these in the larger perspective for us. 538 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: Has there ever been the case in history that we've 539 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: had a massive tax cut with this employment situation, that 540 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: particularly that will involve deficit spending at least in the 541 00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: short term. Have we ever done that in this country? 542 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: So so, David, thanks thanks for having me, and I 543 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: appreciate the opportunity to be here. Look, we at the 544 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: White House are very excited about the numbers. You're right, 545 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: there is some some noise in the number because of 546 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: the hurricane, and uh, as you said, you discount that 547 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,080 Speaker 1: noise out and you're looking through the numbers and you're 548 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: looking at the wage growth and you're looking at the 549 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: unemployment number, which is the real bright news here. Look, 550 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: I think what that the numbers are showing you, And 551 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: the question you're asking me is you're asking about President 552 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: and Trump's economic agenda and what he's committed to and 553 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: what we're committed to here in the White House. We 554 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: believe that the tax cut is essential to continue the 555 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: economic growth that we've started. Yes, we've started some real 556 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: economic growth. We've been rolling back regulations, but we need 557 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: to continue the economic growth we can need to continue 558 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: the wage growth here in America. So do you have 559 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: a reason to believe it will not continue? And and 560 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: perhaps more pointedly, in history, we've always had deficit spending 561 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: and tax cuts in in really fallow times, not in 562 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: the robust times. Right now, we have a pretty robust time. 563 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:00,959 Speaker 1: Why doesn't the President say things are going great. We 564 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: don't need to really intervene, David. We've had a couple 565 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: of good quarters of g d P, but we're still 566 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 1: not on a sustainable level of growth that we should 567 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: be and want to be here in the United States. 568 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: We've been averaging about two percent growth. The President is 569 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: not happy with two percent growth. He ran on a 570 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: pro growth platform and he wants to deliver a pro 571 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: growth economic agenda. We believe the tax reform is necessary. 572 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: We need to allow American companies to compete on a 573 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: level playing field. Our taxes do not allow American companies, 574 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: American business to compete around the world on a level 575 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: playing field. Our corporate tax structure and our business tax 576 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: structure is just too high today. Hey, Gary, No, when 577 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: we talked to believes you're going to see sustainable two 578 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: point nine percent growth. Okay, that that you're arguing for 579 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: our tax cut. What what what I'm saying with the tax 580 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: cum saying with the tax cut, No one thinks we're 581 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: gonna get sustained that either way. What do you say 582 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: to that? We We completely disagree with that. We completely 583 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: disagree with that. We obviously think and and and if 584 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: you listen to what Kevin Hassett came out yesterday, our 585 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: ce A director, He came out and talked about the 586 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: economic growth that we believe, we strongly believe we will 587 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 1: have by cutting business taxes and attracting business back to America, 588 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: attracting capital back to America, growing opportunities here for employees 589 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: to be employed, creating wage more wage growth in the 590 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: United States, and keep the sustainable system that we're that 591 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: we're at right now. We believe we can have a 592 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: three plus percent growth with taxes and the regulation that 593 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 1: we're in the reform that we're aft there. Now, Hey, Gary, 594 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: I want to get your take on a Trump tweet. 595 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: It was about the stock market. He says, the stock 596 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: market hit and all time high. This is President Trump 597 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: tweeting yesterday. Unemployment lois in sixteen years, business and manufacturing 598 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: enthusiasm at the highest level in decades. Do you really 599 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 1: want a White House that's associated with record highs when 600 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 1: you know hypercarious that can actually be And we've had 601 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: like are the six of them for the S and 602 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: P so far this year? Look, presidents committed to economic growth. 603 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,400 Speaker 1: He's committed to a pro growth, pro job agenda. The 604 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: stock market is representative of what his agenda is and 605 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: the fact that we're having real impact in tying your success, 606 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,439 Speaker 1: your tying your success to what the stock market does. 607 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:26,240 Speaker 1: Come on, we're tying our success to jobs, job creation, 608 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: better opportunities for American citizens. The stock market just happens 609 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 1: to represent that you. You and I both know how 610 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 1: the stock market is priced. The stock markets price on 611 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 1: expectations of future earnings of businesses, and those future earnings 612 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: are basically representative of what they think businesses are going 613 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: to be able to accomplish in the future. Gary, I 614 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: just wonder if it is about the market, how this 615 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: bleeds ultimately into the decision making out sweb the next 616 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: FED chair. For instance, as an administration, you're sensitive to 617 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 1: the way markets would take the next fix FED chair. 618 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: And it might be Look, we as administration are sensitive 619 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: to everything. We're sensitive to all the policies. The President 620 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: thinks about economic growth, and he thinks about middle class 621 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: Americans every day, and middle income Americans every day, and 622 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: hard working Americans every day, and how he can put 623 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: them in a better position economically, how it can help 624 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,720 Speaker 1: improve their life. That's what the President thinks about every day. Gary, 625 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,439 Speaker 1: I want to know what you think about it most 626 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: specifically for the next FED chair. Are you sensitive to 627 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,680 Speaker 1: how the markets may interpret that individual in their policies. 628 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: Like I said, we think holistically about everything. We're not 629 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 1: myopic on any topic. We in the White House and 630 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,879 Speaker 1: we're along with the President, have to think about all 631 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 1: of the topics together. That's our job is to think 632 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: holistically about everything. Well, let's think holistically about this, Um, 633 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 1: did you think the next FED chair requires a PhD 634 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,959 Speaker 1: in economics to really got into the respect of those 635 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: on the f MC. Gary. You know, I'm not going 636 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: to talk about the specifics of a search that's going 637 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: on right now. I don't think that's appropriate. So so 638 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 1: very cold. I come back to your tax plan for 639 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 1: a moment um. You say you're gonna get to three 640 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 1: percent sustained growth. Could you just explain to us exactly 641 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: what the next tax plan will generate that? As you 642 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: know well, economists say growth like that comes from two sources, 643 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: and that is more people working, demographics, uh, and productivity. 644 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: What will those taxes if you get your plan the 645 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,680 Speaker 1: way you want it, how will it either generate more 646 00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 1: people working or increase productivity? David, we couldn't agree with 647 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: you more so. When you lower the business tax rate, 648 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,319 Speaker 1: on the paths through nities, on the corporate rates, we 649 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: make ourselves more competitive. We make it that businesses want 650 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 1: to locate in the United States. When they locate in 651 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,799 Speaker 1: the United States, they have to hire labor. They go 652 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: out and compete for labor, they hire people. We see 653 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: wages increase because we hire people. We're also going to 654 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: see enormous amount of productivity in these numbers. Because as 655 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: we build new new factories and we build new manufacturing 656 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,760 Speaker 1: a lot of it's gonna be technologically driven, So the 657 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: productivity numbers are really gonna grow by the by leaps 658 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: and bounds because we are a technologicy driven economy here, 659 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,239 Speaker 1: and we think that we can increase productivity dramatically by 660 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: creating a tax code that allows businesses to compete here 661 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: in the United States with their with other countries around 662 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: the world. Of the White House, the National Economic Director, 663 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 1: they're talking about policy and prescription and also, of course 664 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: always the politics of Washington. Our policy and prescription is 665 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 1: to give you a data check.
