You brought it up earlier, 9 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: which is the idea of where doctor Rubini was in 10 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: two thousand and five. One night at Davos, at the 11 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: Belvedere Hotel. I sat in the old bar, not before 12 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: they they fancyized it. It was the old wooden bar 13 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: with dust and you know Velderie veldera and doctor Obini 14 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: and I sat there by ourselves, and just around the 15 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: corner of the bar was a guy named Geitner. And 16 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: Geitner just listened. He didn't participate in a conversation. And 17 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: Norah and I went through the excesses of two thousand 18 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: and five, two thousand and six, and within that folks 19 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: and figured about interviews and speeches and all that over 20 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: a quiet beverage of our choice. He laid out the 21 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: next seventy two months like nobody I've ever seen. That's right. 22 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: It was such a privilege to have Mike Bloomberg pick 23 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: up the bar tab as. I met with Nora Rabini 24 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: in two thousand and five or six, Why don't you 25 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: bring up the esteemed Rubine. 26 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,639 Speaker 2: Doctr Ubani probably don't remember this, but in two thousand 27 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 2: and seven, when I was at City Group, I was 28 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 2: working for Mark Borr and Chris Paisk shout out to 29 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: you two. We had some traders in from Tutor, from Soros, 30 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: and we were at mister Childs Downtown and Tribeca, and 31 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 2: you were talking about this. Now, fast forward, this is 32 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 2: not two thousand and five, this is two thousand and seven. 33 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 2: You're talking about the global financial crisis, your call, and 34 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: these traders were all over you, saying you've been called 35 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: on to do this forever, you know whatever. So talk 36 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: to us now, you know, talk to us about where 37 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 2: we are now in the economy. Where's group expectations now? 38 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: With disinflation, every pressure is kind of bubbling up here. 39 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,839 Speaker 2: Where are we in the cycle. 40 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 3: Well we are in the cycle. Depends on whether you're 41 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 3: in the United States, in Europe, in Japan, or China. 42 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 3: Probably cannot generalize it, but I would say if we 43 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 3: start with the US. It's been an interesting evolution because 44 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 3: about a year ago most economs thought that we'll have 45 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 3: a hard landing. Then people said there'll be a bumpy 46 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 3: or softish landing with a shortened shallow recession. Now the 47 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 3: baseline became one of a soft landing, but the economic 48 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 3: data on growth have a surprise on the upside, and 49 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 3: I would say that paradoxically, the biggest risk today to 50 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: the market is actually is a case of no landing 51 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 3: where growth could continue to be above potential. And why 52 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 3: it's going to be inactive for the markets, because if 53 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: growth remains above potential, the FED is not going to 54 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: cut rates starting the middle of the year. It's not 55 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 3: going to cut rates three times easy. They could cut 56 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 3: on it two one, maybe even zero. And I would say, paradoxically, 57 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 3: the best news for the economy maybe the worst use 58 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 3: for the market. So we've gone from hard landing to 59 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 3: bumpy to soft to maybe no landing. 60 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 2: For our audience, let's just be clear here this is 61 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: Professor Norio Rubini talking actually bush at growth expectations on 62 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: the US economy, on US exceptionalism, Let's talk about some 63 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 2: of those other. 64 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 3: Elements optimistic about growth. But paradoxy that opting is about 65 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 3: growth implies inflation more sticky and bad news for the market. 66 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 3: It's on a cyclical basis. 67 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 2: So you were just going to take me there, right, 68 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: I mean, seventy five pips priced in now three year 69 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 2: and here in the US, I mean, as the market 70 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 2: got it right, or I mean, should we expect perhaps 71 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: the risk and the pain trade markets being that the 72 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 2: markets are pricing in still a bit too much. 73 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, the markets are always too dolviish. 74 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: You know. 75 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: Last year, as you remember that we're expecting the FED 76 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: would cut rights or even in the second half the year, 77 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 3: the Fed said no, and the markets were pushing the Fed. 78 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 3: And then the economy data remains strong and actually you 79 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: got the correction ten percent in August September. Then this 80 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 3: year of the year saying six rate cuts, the Fed 81 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: old US three. Now they moved to three rate cuts 82 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 3: like the FED does. But as I said, the possibility 83 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: is that if economy remains stronger, general data on inflation 84 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 3: were strong that then the Fed doesn't cut in June, 85 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 3: doesn't cut in July or later. It doesn't cut three 86 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 3: times this year could be less than three times, and 87 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: that could be the negative surprise for the markets. 88 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to go to some of the glooma is 89 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: out there, and that is a build up in our 90 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: friscal position. You advise Bill Clinton in another time, or 91 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: we measure billions. We now measure doctor Rabini in trillions. 92 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: We have American exceptionalism, we have our technology. I've got 93 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: the IMF with a growth view out three years. That 94 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: looks Rubini like to be honest. But the elephant in 95 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: the room is the debt build up in America. Miami guinnis, 96 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: among others, expert honest. Do you study the debt and say, well, 97 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: upset the Apple car or can the debt be tolerated 98 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: by American productivity and growth? 99 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 3: Well, the first two chapters of my new Mega Threats 100 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 3: are about debt and that crisis. Actually first chapter is 101 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 3: called the Model All that Crisis, and I point out 102 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 3: that not just the US, but also globally there's been 103 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: a rising private and public debt as a short GDP 104 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 3: in the US, the sum of the two is four 105 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 3: hundred and twenty percent of GDP, And while the average 106 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 3: that race for the public sector as one hundred percent 107 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 3: of GDP in advanced econom that's the official debt on 108 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 3: top of the implicit liability coming from aging of population 109 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 3: and social security pays you go systems or healthcare system 110 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 3: also pays you go, so that implicit debt is another 111 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 3: one hundred percent of GDP. Now, the paradox for the 112 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 3: US is the following one. If you're another country Greece, Italy, 113 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 3: then UK, and you are fiscally deviant, you have right 114 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 3: away market punishing you. Your spreads go higher, if you 115 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 3: have exchanges. 116 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: Why don't we face that discipline? 117 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 3: We don't face it the because you have the exorbitant 118 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 3: privilege of being the largest reserve currency in the world. 119 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 3: And that paradoxically means that we can borrow longer and 120 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 3: cheaper to finance our fiscal and external defice. And one 121 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 3: of them means that eventually the markets giving us enough 122 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 3: rope to hang ourselves even longer. 123 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: Okay, I want to, I want to. 124 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 3: Eventually want shop occurs, It'll be true. 125 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: We're going to finish with it, Doctor Ebinion and comeback. 126 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: Damien's got a loaded in the next hour. Doctor Ebini, 127 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: you just talk about exorbitant privilege, which is just started 128 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: the staying of old word France. It's berry, I can 129 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: green out of Berkeley, And critically, it's a Laureate's stigletz, 130 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: where there's an implied assumption our growth rate will stay 131 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: ahead of our real rate. However you want to measure 132 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: it that the growthiness will be there. Do you suggest 133 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: our American growthiness will still be there. 134 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 3: It's a mixed bag because on one side, I think 135 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: that technology AI innovation could increase potential growth. But in 136 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 3: my book Mega Threats, I talk about ten medium long 137 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 3: term negative aggregate supplies, shocks that can reduce growth and 138 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 3: increase inflation that are stackflationary, and whether technology is going 139 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 3: to dominate probably over the medium long term, yes, but 140 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 3: for the next decade, I think these mega threads, whether 141 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 3: it's global rivalries, the globalization, climate change, pandemics, high private 142 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 3: and public debts, the return of inflation, those are all 143 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,239 Speaker 3: risks to economic growth. 144 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: Neialbini quote the Looney Tunes road runner could sniff our 145 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: dynamics in gift raving. Why can't we Neualbini. They're starting 146 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: mega threats strong with the Looney tune as well. What 147 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: about the road runner in China? With these two meetings 148 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: coming up, Damian Sasar, you wonder what our intelligences are 149 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: knowledge of present in future China. 150 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: Well, I mean in a time you'd like to reference 151 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 2: dour you on which is treading seven twenty one on 152 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 2: the offshore. But what I like to look at in 153 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 2: China is the tenure yield. The tenure yield that are 154 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: two thirty five I have two point three five percent. 155 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 2: That's one of the lowest fielders world in the world, 156 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 2: and so I want to ask you about that. I mean, 157 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 2: talk to us about Chinese deflation. What does that mean 158 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 2: for somebody sitting here in New York City, or more importantly, 159 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 2: somebody sitting you know, elsewhere in this country, because New 160 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: York is very unimportant at this point in time. Talk 161 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: to us a little bit about what it means for 162 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: your average, everyday American deflation coming out of China. 163 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 3: Well, it means a few things. There is deflation in 164 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 3: China because there is excess supply of good services real 165 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 3: estate compared to demand, and implication for both Chinese inflation 166 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 3: and global inflation or deflationary through three channels. Channel number 167 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 3: one is that China is going to unquote dump this 168 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 3: excess capacity of goods in global markets and that puts 169 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 3: a downward pressure on global prices. Secondly, the Chinese currency 170 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 3: is weakening, means that dollar and other currencies are strengthening. 171 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: You import less inflation from China. And three, Chinese growth 172 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 3: is two three percent effectively implies less demand for commodities 173 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 3: that put downward pressure on commodity prices. So weakness of 174 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 3: Chinese growth is this inflationary not just for China, but 175 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 3: there's also this inflationary for the global economy. Now you 176 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 3: could say it's good news, but the bad news is 177 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 3: that this excess capacity is being unquote a dumped in 178 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: global market. There is already protection is pressures, and this 179 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 3: protection pressure are going to become more severe because the 180 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 3: last thing that the US Europe are going to be 181 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 3: accepting is Chinese exporting their excess capacity by ever widening 182 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 3: trade deficits with these countries. 183 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 2: Well, doctor Vivini, I mean take me through this. I mean, 184 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 2: is disinflation enough. I mean you've pretty much said it. 185 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 2: I mean, it's disinflation enough to move to your Powell's hand, 186 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 2: to move the Fed's hand here in the US and 187 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 2: get them to start cutting rates, say by the middle 188 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 2: of the year, which is what markets are sort of 189 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 2: projecting right now. 190 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 3: Well, the channels through China don't have a huge impact 191 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 3: yet because we're not important as much. I think what 192 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 3: matters for the US is going to be headline inflation. 193 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 3: And as I pointed out, if we're going to be 194 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 3: in a no landing scenarios opposed to a soft landing, 195 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 3: growth is going to remain above potential. Inflation's a going 196 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 3: to mean sticky and the generary number confirm that. And 197 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 3: that means that the fact may not cut trades even 198 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 3: in June, and may not cut it three times this year. 199 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 3: And if that happens, actually the stock market is going 200 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 3: to correct. That's the biggest risk in the market. Actually, 201 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 3: no landing trade. 202 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: We had globalization with a few people discontented. I would 203 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: suggest many more discontented, including the leadership in Beijing. What's 204 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: the next globalization look like for you? 205 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 3: Well, I think we're in a process of gradually less globalization. 206 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 3: We went to hyperglobalization. Now even if we don't have 207 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 3: real g globalization, we're going to have French shoring, We'll 208 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 3: have reshorting. We'll talk more about a fair trade and 209 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 3: security trade rather than a free trade. We'll have some 210 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 3: fragmentation of the global economy. We'll have just in case 211 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 3: rather than just in time. Global supply chains will have 212 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 3: reshoring and French shoring rather than off shoring. We'll have 213 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 3: emphasis on economics security rather than efficiency. So the process 214 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 3: call it off the risking of decoupling. But this is ongoing, 215 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 3: It's going to continue over time. 216 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: Just thought it just because of the huge response. Are 217 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,079 Speaker 1: particularly a YouTube live chat nor Roubini right now on 218 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: the dash of bitcoin. The idea of it's in ETFs 219 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: we can put in our retirement accounts. I believe it's 220 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: a limited, scarce resource. Obviously the price is going up. 221 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: What's the quality of the price increase in bitcoin right now? 222 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: The nature of it. 223 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 3: Listen, bitcoin used to be ten thousand, when to a 224 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 3: pick of sixty nine thousand late in twenty twenty one, 225 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 3: then fell to fifteen thousand. Now it's above sixty thousand. 226 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 3: It's so volatile they can go higher, it can go 227 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 3: over and by the way, not just bitcoin, but the 228 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 3: entire crypto space. They call them cryptocurrencies. But anybody who 229 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 3: knows anything about currencies, money, monetary policy knows these are 230 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 3: not currencies. For some t be currency, there's to be 231 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 3: a unit of account. Nothing is priced in bitcoin. There's 232 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 3: to be a scalable means of payment. You can do 233 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 3: only six transactions per second with bitcoin, you can do 234 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 3: fifty thousand with divis a network. There's to be a 235 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 3: stable store of value. Can go up by ten percent 236 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,719 Speaker 3: one day, can go down twenty percent another day. And 237 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 3: there's to be a single numeror so we can compare 238 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 3: prices of different goods and services. It's not a unit 239 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 3: of account. It's not the scalable means of payment. It's 240 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 3: not the stable store of value. It's not a single 241 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 3: numeror so. Whatever they are, you cannot call them currencies. 242 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 3: They are not currencies. 243 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 2: No, I agree with that. 244 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 3: So that's a fact. And even the supporters of bitcoin 245 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 3: don't anymore believe that's going to become a means of payment. 246 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 3: Nobody's using it as a means of payment nowhere around 247 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 3: the world, even El Salvador, where bitcoin was made legal tender, 248 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 3: the amount of transactions and goods and services are using 249 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 3: bitcoin is less than one percent. This is a legal tender. 250 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 3: People are not going to use it for transactions period. 251 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, doctor Ribini, you said, Ol Salvadore, You're taking me 252 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 2: exactly where I want to go. I want to talk 253 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: about the geopolitical risk premium that is or is not 254 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 2: embedded in market, specifically as it relates to these elections 255 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 2: we're seeing, right, I mean, we've seen quite a few 256 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 2: elections already here to date, and we're going to see 257 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: some big ones coming through. I'm thinking India, I'm thinking 258 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 2: South Africa. I mean, talk to us a little bit 259 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 2: about election risk in the market. Should investors be concerned 260 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 2: about that? 261 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 3: Well, there are tons of elections, even in important countries, 262 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 3: but let's say in India, mode is going to get 263 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 3: re elected. The only issues by which margin? And I 264 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 3: think that the global impact, even of stuff happening in 265 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 3: South Africa is going to be minimum day and seem 266 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 3: I have less power or more power, We don't know. 267 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 3: The only election that matters for the global economy and 268 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 3: markets is the US election. And it matters not just 269 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 3: because of geopolitics of what are going to be the 270 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 3: foreign policy of Trump Biden on China, Russia, Ukraine, on Europe, 271 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 3: on the Middle East. But most importantly is the economic policy. Yes, 272 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 3: said I'm going to impose a ten percent time if 273 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 3: on all imports come in the US when the average 274 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 3: tart is two percent. He said, I'm going to impost 275 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 3: tariffs in China of up to sixty percent. And he said, well, 276 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 3: I'm going to also renew the tax cuts that passed 277 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 3: to another one point five three do dollar deficits over 278 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 3: the next decade when the deficit are out of control. 279 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 3: So I think the fiscal risk and the trade protection 280 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 3: we risk could really derail the market and slow down 281 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: economic growth and increase inflation. That's the biggest stories coming 282 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 3: from Trump. 283 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: I got forty two seconds. What was the book when 284 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: you were a kid, the gut you going in economics 285 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: and international finance? What was the book that changed or 286 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: obinion when you were. 287 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 3: A Well, there was a book by Jeffrey Sachs that 288 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 3: was on this tacktlation of the nineteen seventies where we 289 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 3: had the old Shock of seventy three seventy nine. Was 290 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 3: the first book that spoke about the terms tactlation and 291 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 3: was the period of time exactly where you had lower growth, 292 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 3: recession and inflation and now we're facing fifty years later. 293 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 3: There seems I'm gonna. 294 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: Put that book out on Twitter and LinkedIn, and I've 295 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: got another Jeff six book where he was way out 296 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: front on the dumbing down of America. Noi Roubini thinks 297 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: it's been way too long now that you're Professor Emeritis. 298 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: He's holding court. He's over at the Samet Regius breakfast 299 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: or the Regency Hotel breakfast. He's he's very eretis. This 300 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: is a early hallmark to get us started in a week, 301 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: and it is Jim Bianco of Chicago's Bianco Research, who 302 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: has a research note that the entire street hangs on, 303 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: and they do because he synthesizes us together. Our economics 304 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: are finance, our investment, and indeed pulls in some international 305 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: relations as well. Jim, you talked about resilient rates. It 306 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: was an Arch call six months nine months ago or so. 307 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: I would suggest we've gotten a Bianco market where there's 308 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: disinflation ory tendencies and then rates don't come down. How 309 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: do you recalibrate that into the second quarter of twenty 310 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: twenty four. 311 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 4: I think it's going to be recalibrated by people changing 312 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 4: their expectations about the Fed. You know, the old line 313 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 4: on Wall Street was the Fed hikes until something breaks. 314 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 4: And the assumption six or nine months ago was all 315 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 4: the hiking and those high interest rates obviously broke something right. Well, 316 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 4: turns out maybe it didn't. We thought for a moment 317 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 4: a year ago was the banking system, but it survived 318 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 4: that as well. So now we're starting to see everybody 319 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 4: push off those rate cuts into the future. March is 320 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 4: now priced out as a rate cut meeting. May has 321 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 4: priced out as a rate cut meeting. June is still 322 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 4: a rate cut meeting, but that's the four months away 323 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 4: or three months away. Excuse me. There's a lot of 324 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 4: data that could come, and the data recently has been 325 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 4: very strong. So the recalibration, I think, is going to be, 326 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,479 Speaker 4: as I like to jokingly say, the rate cuts are 327 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 4: going to always be sixty or ninety days away, and 328 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 4: in sixty or ninety days, they're going to be sixty 329 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 4: to ninety days away. 330 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 2: Jim, you know, I'm wondering, you know, wack when the 331 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: market was pricing in something on the out of one 332 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty basis points of cuts only a few 333 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 2: months back. Do you think that the market was pricing 334 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 2: in the risk that something would break, And in your opinion, 335 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 2: have we gotten past that? I mean, should we not 336 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 2: be concerned about you know, reserve repo facilities, the plumbing, 337 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 2: the TGA and the US Treasury market. I mean, you know, 338 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 2: something were to break, what do you think that might 339 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 2: happen here in the US? 340 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 4: Yeah? No, I think that the market was pricing in 341 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 4: this idea back in January when we had six rate cuts, 342 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 4: that the rate hikes had broken something, that we were 343 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 4: going to have a soft landing, inflation was going to 344 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 4: go down to two percent, or maybe we were even 345 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,919 Speaker 4: going to have a recession. And now the reality is 346 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 4: that that isn't happening. Sure, we should be always concerned 347 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 4: that there is going to be a problem in the 348 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 4: plumbing of the financial system, or some geopolitical event or 349 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 4: something else that's unforeseen. But that's not how this FED works. 350 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,479 Speaker 4: They work on data dependency. Show me data that shows 351 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 4: that things have turned south. Don't give me a narrative 352 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 4: that there's a problem out there. And the show me 353 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 4: data is not there right now. It's actually pretty strong. 354 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 4: And the inflation rate in the inflation data I've been 355 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 4: arguing might be bottoming right now, somewhere in the high 356 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 4: twoes to low threes on a year over year basis 357 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 4: on most of the headline numbers. 358 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 1: And that's the second time we've heard that this morning. Yeah, 359 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: I mean this is you know, people are catching up 360 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: with Bianco. 361 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're no landing scenario, right. I mean, look, I 362 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 2: mean that's really where I'm My question for you, Jim, 363 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 2: is where are we in the interest rate cycle here? 364 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 4: I mean are we? 365 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 2: I mean we've seen this backup here in US Treasury 366 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 2: deals that's largely driven by real rates, by growth expectations. 367 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 2: You know, what are your thoughts on growth as we 368 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 2: look ahead into the end of really into March. 369 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,479 Speaker 4: Well, if potential growth is two and a half percent, 370 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 4: we've had six quarters in a row now where we've 371 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 4: been at potential or above it. There has been no 372 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 4: soft landing, there has been no recession. And it looks 373 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 4: like the first quarter is tracking to be at potential 374 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,199 Speaker 4: or potentially above it too for a seventh quarter. And 375 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 4: I think that that's going to continue, as I like 376 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 4: to jokingly say, unless I wake up someday and my 377 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 4: Bloomberg is full of red headlines and everybody's hyperventilating. Well, 378 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 4: then I'll change my forecast if that happens. But short 379 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 4: of that, we're going to continue with this no landing, 380 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 4: and we're going to continue with what looks like bottoming inflation, 381 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 4: and slowly we're going to drag more and more people 382 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 4: into this camp. 383 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: In the original medical moment we were in, and I 384 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: think we still we don't know where we were in 385 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: the pandemic coming out of it. I got too many 386 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: people Jim Bianco telling me the pandemic's over, and I 387 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: just don't buy it. I look at the stimulus that 388 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: was derived from multiple stimuli, and also I look at 389 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: the debt build up of the federal government. Are we 390 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: getting a nominal GDP group that makes everybody feel good 391 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: simply because we've had a debt overlay over seventy two months? 392 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. I mean, if you really want 393 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 4: to boil it down, there's two many main drivers of 394 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 4: higher nominal GDP. The first one is big government spending 395 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 4: of the deficit. The government is just spending so much 396 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 4: money right now, it's almost going to be hard to 397 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 4: have a recession. And the second one is the savings 398 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 4: rate ran it around six percent a pre pandemic that 399 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 4: means that for every dollar somebody made, they spent ninety 400 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 4: four cents of it. Today, the savings rate is running 401 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 4: at four percent. For every dollar they make, they spend 402 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 4: ninety six percent of it. That increased consumption is what's 403 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 4: been pushing the economy too, and has been providing support 404 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 4: for the inflation story. People are spending more money on things, 405 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 4: and this is after inflation, so it's more units of 406 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 4: things are buying. It's not just that the prices are higher. 407 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 4: That is going to keep the economy strong until those 408 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 4: two dynamics change. Either the government spends less money and 409 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 4: they're not going to unless there's a crisis that forces them, 410 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 4: or people's propensity to spend slows down. And I just 411 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 4: don't see that happening right now. 412 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean the nominal GDP. What's your GDP 413 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: run rate? Giving your idea that rates will stay high 414 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: or will be resilient, what is your real GDP? A 415 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: nominal GDP call forward. 416 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's on my headstone right now because I've got 417 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 4: three percent on inflation, two and a half percent on 418 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 4: nominal GDP, two and a half percent on growth real growth, 419 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 4: three percent in inflation five and a half on nominal GDP, 420 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 4: and ultimately I think that that's where interest rates are 421 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 4: going to go. It's to five and a half percent. 422 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 4: And that's what's on my headstone. That everybody's freaking out 423 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 4: that the rates could go that high. I think they 424 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 4: can and they won't break anything if they get that high. 425 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 4: That's the part that everybody seems to miss about that call. 426 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: Uh fascinating and folks, I can't say enough about a 427 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: five percent plus nominal GDP just solves a lot of 428 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: problems corporations. It's just it's just like the beautiful, wonderful thing. 429 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 2: I can't believe we're talking about a five percent nominal GDP. 430 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: I cannot. 431 00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 2: Trying to ask. 432 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: Jimaco way out in front of this Bianco research there 433 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: from spring training for the White Sox and the Cubs. 434 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: Mick Moory joins us right now. He's former US Deputy 435 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: Assistant Secretary of Fence. Damien is going to dive here 436 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: into Gaza in Ukraine and arrest Nick. I want to 437 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: talk to you about your philanthropy, which is something that 438 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: is hugely Germane and that is child soldiers. How pervasive 439 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: is it that we have incredibly young people in various 440 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: nations military. 441 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 5: Also good to be with you, guys, and I really 442 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 5: appreciate you bringing that up. So it is one of 443 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 5: those stories of conflicts that doesn't get told enough because 444 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 5: it is not only pervasive, but it's increasing rapidly. Because 445 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 5: what we see is essentially these wars start generally speaking, 446 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,479 Speaker 5: adults fight them, sometimes not, but over time it's there 447 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 5: is a lot of kids on the battlefield and they 448 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 5: are expandable. Quite frankly, these wars happen in countries where 449 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 5: not a lot of people to pay attention to, and 450 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 5: the people that actually populate these militias in these in 451 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 5: these armies are from the places where people don't in 452 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 5: the country, don't play much attention to. So this is 453 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 5: a really bad problem. In twenty nineteen alone, it doubled 454 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 5: in the Middle East, so Syria and Theemen are big examples, 455 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 5: and it is it is just one of those things 456 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 5: that you know, quite frankly, if adults want to start 457 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 5: the wars, they should They should be the ones fighting 458 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 5: and dying in it, and not some twelve year old 459 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 5: kid that was forced to do that. 460 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 2: Well, Mick, the American war machine is appears to be 461 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 2: in a state of disrepair right, and time is running short. 462 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 2: You know, I'm curious to hear thoughts on that. You know, 463 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 2: what must the US do in order to rate the 464 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 2: ship there and you know, get funding to you know, 465 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 2: places like Ukraine and Israel. 466 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 5: So it's absolutely essential, and it is in charity, you know. 467 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 5: You hear people say like, oh, I, we've just given 468 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 5: this money away. This is in our own national security interest. Yes, 469 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 5: it is the right thing to do. When a partner 470 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 5: is in harm's way, you support them. But it's not 471 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 5: just for that. The United States relative strength is compared 472 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 5: to our adversary. So Ukraine, for example, has caused up 473 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 5: to three hundred thousand casualties of the Russian military. I mean, 474 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 5: just think about how much that actually is. And they've 475 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 5: depleted the Russian military force by over fifty percent. So 476 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 5: they are basically fighting one of our most significant adversary 477 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 5: and probably our most dangerous and unpredictable one. So by 478 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 5: doing this, our forces, our troops don't need to be 479 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 5: on the ground and fighting them should they go past Ukraine, 480 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 5: which of course the next stop is a NATO country 481 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 5: in Poland. So this is something that is completely within 482 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 5: the US's national security interest. To do, and we need 483 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 5: to do it now because essentially there's parts of the 484 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 5: battle space right now where the Ukrainians are running out 485 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 5: of ammunition and that can't happen. They obviously they have 486 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 5: all the fighting will in the world. We've seen that, 487 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 5: they prove that, but if they don't have the means, 488 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 5: then they won't be able to fight long. 489 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 2: Israel has really lost control of the narrative in the 490 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 2: Middle East. I'm curious to hear thoughts on what they 491 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 2: can do, at least from a pr perspective to write 492 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 2: the ship with players such as Turkey, Brazil, the United 493 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 2: Nations itself, the rest of the Middle East. You know, 494 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 2: what are your thoughts on what Israel is doing today 495 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 2: and what it can be doing differently? 496 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 5: So I do think, you know, obviously they're strategic objective 497 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,239 Speaker 5: of the military destruction or at least the degradation of 498 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,719 Speaker 5: Hamas makes sense to anybody that I think is fair minded. 499 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 5: They can't have that tinme of attack and that kind 500 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 5: of element that they saw in October seventh and that 501 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 5: we see in Hamas, which by the way, claims to 502 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 5: care about the Palestinian people, but they obviously do not. 503 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 5: They amongst them, They try to keep aid from them, 504 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 5: They try to actually create, in my opinion, a worst 505 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 5: situation that already is for their own political aims. But 506 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 5: what kin Israel do. I think the first thing they 507 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 5: can do is to increase the flow of the humanitarian 508 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 5: aid into Gaza. We are at a starvation level, especially 509 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 5: in the north where there's around three hundred thousand people 510 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 5: that are living in the rubble that are have gone 511 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 5: to eating animal feed, grass, flower mixed with salt water. 512 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 5: It is a crisis level and that is something I 513 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 5: think they could do right now. I don't know if 514 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 5: they'll get credit for it. They should if they do, 515 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 5: but that is something that needs to happen. 516 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: What's so important here, and whether we're talking to General Ki, 517 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: General Hodges or you, it's the idea that, Okay, we 518 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: have a Pentagon that we can deploy, but in the 519 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: case of Ukraine, we've got to deploy it within a 520 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: mix of allies with different opinions, including our own, particularly 521 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: with an isolation as to the marrit and then with Gaza, 522 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: we've got a deploy to do an ally, it really 523 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: doesn't want us to deploy it. What do we do 524 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: with mister Netnahu in domestic political israel Is, we're dropping 525 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: parachutes and boxes on the shores of the eastern Mediterranean. 526 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 5: Right, And I think everybody would recognize that that is 527 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 5: largely symbolic. It was about a truck and a half 528 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 5: worth of material that was dropped in those air drops. 529 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 5: Obviously for the people who received it, it was good. 530 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 5: But that's not even going to come close to meeting 531 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 5: the demand, so we have to go beyond that. I 532 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 5: think there's obviously a tension between the current administration in 533 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 5: Israel and ours, and I think that and that's something 534 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 5: that's going to make it even more difficult when it 535 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 5: comes to how we work together to both allow Israel 536 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 5: to defeat Hamas but also put it on a track 537 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 5: so this doesn't continuously happen. And I think most would 538 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 5: say that would be forty two state solution, but one 539 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 5: in which the Israelis have a partner in a revitalized 540 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 5: Palestinian authority, and obviously not one in which Hamas is 541 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 5: in charge of any kind of future Palestinian state. But 542 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 5: I do think that tension is we're seeing it right now. 543 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 5: We see Benny Gantz in the United States, somebody who's 544 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 5: very well known to American policymakers. He was the Defense 545 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 5: AA for Israel in Washington, and that is a very 546 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 5: significant role. It usually leads right into being the chiefest 547 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 5: staff of the Israeli defense forces. So he is well 548 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 5: known and he is somebody I think that both sides 549 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 5: of the Aisle feel like they can work with very closely. 550 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 5: But reportedly that really enraged Prime Minister ned Yahoo. So 551 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 5: obviously the Israelis have to decide who's going to be 552 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 5: their leader. But that is a tension that I think 553 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 5: will exist until there's a switch at the top. 554 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: Nick, Thank you so much, greatly appreciated.

The newspapers this weekend, Lisa had like eight choices. 564 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: Where'd you go with, kiddo? 565 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 6: All right, we're starting with space SPACEXS Falcon rocket that 566 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 6: had gonna blasted off over the weekend. Kennedy Space Center 567 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 6: was carrying four astronauts headed to the International Space Station. 568 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 6: They're going to stay there for six months, and they 569 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 6: say they're going to oversee the arrival of two new 570 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 6: rocket chips. So they should re that orbiting lab tomorrow. 571 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 6: But pretty interesting more from SpaceX kind of blasting these 572 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 6: astronauts out. 573 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 2: There's only six months, huh only I mean, I mean 574 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 2: compared to the Russians way there. 575 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: For six years, right, But this is the difference between 576 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: man and unmanned. The last unmanned to the Moon that 577 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: landed what two weeks ago? 578 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 6: Yes, it was a sobering fell over the tip. 579 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: Yeah I fell over this weekend too. But the answer 580 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: is man just is different, isn't it. What do you 581 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: got next? 582 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 6: All right, Tesla? When you drive cars, do you have 583 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 6: a certain loyalty to the brand. That's what this new 584 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 6: study is about. So more than half of people who 585 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 6: brought a new car in twenty twenty three bought the 586 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 6: same brand they had last time, Tesla actually claimed that 587 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,959 Speaker 6: higher loyal owenty than any other brand. So people love 588 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 6: their Tesla's now if you go to automakers, not individual brands, 589 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 6: GM got that top spot, you know, the Buick, Cadillac, 590 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 6: Chevy GMC, so it's all about the loyalty. Like me personally, 591 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 6: it's a hard Tesla. 592 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean Elon must started this. Everybody's cutting 593 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: their cost and I saw some used card depreciation of 594 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: a Tesla of forty or fifty percent. 595 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 2: Tom My close friend rented a Tesla when we were 596 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 2: in Florida. I didn't I'm afraid to rent any sort 597 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: of electronic vehicle. 598 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 7: That's just me. 599 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 2: But he rented one and it just conked out on 600 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 2: him and in the middle of his vacation he had 601 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 2: to go change his car with the rental company, like 602 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 2: something went wrong there. It was a Tesla, unfortunately. I 603 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 2: hate to say that, but you know, I'm still scared 604 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 2: of electronic vehicles. 605 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: I have to say, Lisa, what do you think would 606 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: you run it?

So in June, this 624 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 6: software developer he rebooted him as an AI chatbot, hench Ai. 625 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 4: There you go. 626 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 6: Thousands of people downloaded his app. But the problem is 627 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 6: that he put its chatting capabilities on open ais GPT software. 628 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 6: Microsoft didn't like that very much. So now it's rebranded. 629 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,719 Speaker 6: It's called paper Clip instead of Clippy. 630 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 2: At least I love to be interrupted when I'm working, 631 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 2: you know, I mean Clippy used to come on every 632 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,479 Speaker 2: single time I was doing anything I couldn't get him 633 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 2: off my screen. 634 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: And if you had an underpowered computer, I mean Damien 635 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: d he had the Mac computer. 636 00:32:54,920 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 7: Was at Soltram sixteen megabisons Ram Folks, those of you younger, 637 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 7: you have no idea how police the scene or mezzo 638 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,719 Speaker 7: scene it was with Clippy. 639 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: Clippy would literally crash your computer.
