You love this segment. 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,159 Speaker 1: You're talking precious metals, gold, silver, maybe throwing in a 8 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: little Bitcoin you'd like to do that with Everett Millman, 9 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: precious metals specialist of Gainesville's Coin located in Gainesville, Florida. Everett, Uh, 10 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 1: We're out with a little bit of a story. I'm 11 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: just looking at gold. It's off about one point four 12 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: percent here to nine dollars and now's but it was 13 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: off I guess overnight as much as four pent some 14 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: folks calling it kind of like a mini flash crash. 15 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: Any idea what happened there? Was that just technicals. I 16 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 1: do think that technicals played a pretty large role here. Um, 17 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: we have to keep in mind that during the summer 18 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: trading volumes and gold are rather thin, and just adding 19 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: onto that and the fact that markets in Tokyo and 20 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: Singapore were all for holiday, so the technical movements would 21 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: have a much larger effect in that low volume area. 22 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: But I think the approximate cause was the strong employment 23 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: data from Friday and sort of a carry over and 24 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: that as Asian markets opened overnight. UM. That definitely knocks 25 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: some of the luster off of gold. And we also 26 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 1: have to keep in mind that sentiment in the gold 27 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: market was already pretty low. UM. All of that seemed 28 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: to kind of pile on in a quick technical sell off, 29 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: but I think that's short term speculative activity. UM. Partly 30 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: because of the swiftness we've seen the gold price recover 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,639 Speaker 1: this morning as well. Square with me to what feels 32 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: like competing factors here. You mentioned the jobs report on 33 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: Friday really strong, and yet overnight it seems like Goldman 34 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: amongst others started downgrading growth out of China on that 35 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: delta variant. How much of China is a headwind in 36 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: terms of future lower growth yet some strong growth here 37 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: in the US. Rights That is a very interesting dynamic 38 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: where we see a divergence possibly between the direction the 39 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: Chinese economy is going and where the US is. You 40 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: would think that a weaker Chinese economy if the delta 41 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: variant really is an under control there, that that would 42 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: be rather bad for gold, given how much gold demand 43 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: comes from China. But I think the overall sentiment or 44 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: the overall narrative of the economy improving of things opening 45 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: up that just overall reduces safe haven demand for gold. 46 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: So between those two competing trends or forces. Um. Right now, 47 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: the focus does seem to be on the US recovery, 48 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: but in the on the horizon, I think that the 49 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: China issue is certainly something there that gold traders should 50 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: be watching. All right, Let's uh talk a little bit 51 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: about some of the you know, copper was one medal 52 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 1: that was really rallying earlier in the year, and I 53 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: guess you know a little bit of a you know, 54 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: demand driven there as it relates to, you know, maybe 55 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: a reopening the global economy. UM, when's your thought on copper? Well, 56 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: copper is somewhat interesting, interestingly in a crossroads right now, 57 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: similar to what we're saying with the divergence between the 58 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: US and China. UM, we did see Beijing sell some 59 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: of its strategic copper stockpiles in order to try and 60 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: quell prices and bring down that commodities inflation. But then 61 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: on the supply side, we have potential strike in Chile 62 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: and that um, the Chilean strike possibility, even though it 63 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: hasn't actually happened. Um, that would have a major effect 64 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: on how much copper is available in the market, Chile 65 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: being the world's largest producer of copper and exporter. So 66 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: I think that those two competing forces kind of us 67 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: copper stuck in neutral right now. Um. But if I 68 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: think inflation also plays a role there if we get 69 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: sustained inflation. Um. We talk so much about that gold 70 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: being an inflation hedge. It is, but copper and some 71 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: of the industrial commodities even more so factor into that equation. 72 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: What is not stuck in neutrals? Bitcoin and Everett. It's funny, 73 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: I you know, started on my career covering Muni bonds. 74 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: My co anchor in the afternoon, Caroline loves crypto, and 75 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: we were finally able to get our worlds to collide 76 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: with the infrastructure bill, with crypto sort of being the 77 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: big hold up. That being said, I'm taking look at bitcoin, 78 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: which is up to forty thousand. What are the sort 79 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: of indications that you look at to get us back 80 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: up to fift k Well, I think that it hinges 81 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: largely on, as you pointed out, with the Infrastructure Bill, 82 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: what is the regulatory framework or environment for bitcoin and 83 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: crypto is going to look like going forward. We have 84 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: seen some mixed messages about whether Congress wants to sort 85 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: of enshrine proof of work cryptocurrencies like bitcoin as being 86 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: something that is regular did like other securities. UM. I 87 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 1: think that would be rather positive if that was the 88 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: final outcome. But of course there are those competing voices 89 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: in the political realm who think rather differently that cryptos 90 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: represent this major threat to the US dollar UM and 91 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: to sort of finance as a whole, of the legacy 92 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: systems of the financial UH framework. So I think that 93 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: with that being said, UM, we'd like to see Congress 94 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: make some sort of move on regulations. So this isn't 95 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: just a question up in the air that the crypto 96 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: market is constantly in fear of a major pullback like 97 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: we saw about a month or two ago. UM. To 98 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: get us back up to those highs, I really would 99 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: like to see some clarity on on the regulatory outlook 100 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: for bitcoin. All right, every thank you so much. We 101 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: appreciate it. As always Everett Millman, precious metal specialist of 102 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: Gainesville Coins. Well, the United Nations, they backed a group 103 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: of the world's top scientists to study climate change, and 104 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: a new report came out from these folks, and it 105 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: warns that the planet were warned by one point five 106 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 1: degrees celsius in the next two decades without dramatic, drastic 107 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: moves to eliminate greenhouse gas pollution. The question for a 108 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: lot of investors is, oh boy, that sounds big. What 109 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: do we do? How do we position ourselves? Abraham all Hussain, 110 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: he joins us. He's a founder managing partner at Full 111 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: Cycle private equity firm UM and they finance companies that 112 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: create positive social and environmental change. So when you see 113 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: a report like this, Ibraham, what does it make you think? Well, 114 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: it makes me uh re emphasizes the point that we've 115 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: been saying since two thousand and thirteen, which is, you know, 116 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: we need to increase the pace of rolling out low 117 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: carbon infrastructure as fast as possible. And I'm glad that 118 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: the scientific community is generating these types of reports so 119 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: the investment community can understand how critical it is to 120 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: the stability of our markets, our economy, our health our 121 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: civilized nation, that we accelerate the pace of which we 122 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: are transitioning to a low carbon future. One of the 123 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: best things about what you do is you are scouring 124 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: the landscape right to find investments that are focused really 125 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: on sustainable infrastructure. What changes in the last few years 126 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: have you seen about the types of new inventions, the 127 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: types of new products, and really the amount I feel like, 128 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: really just in the last few years, we've seen a 129 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: huge surge in this topic. So one of the things 130 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: that full Cycle focuses on is I've been I've been 131 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: in this space before. Even a lot of the vernacular 132 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: and nomenclature has been invented, mostly because I used to 133 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: be a scuba diver in the nineties and saw the 134 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: degradation and the quality of the marine life firsthand. And 135 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: a lot of what was obvious what is now obvious 136 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: above sea level was obvious underneath the surface of the 137 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: water early on. I mean, all the droughts and the 138 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: floods and the hydrocycle trans transform in front of our 139 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: eyes and you know, uh, diminished crop yields, etcetera. What 140 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: it looked like underneath the surface of the water was 141 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: was bleaching corals and floating plastic where life was used 142 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: to be abundant. So we've been fine tuning this nuanced 143 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: approach to how we can transition to a low carbit 144 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: economy and a risk adjusted return profile that any investor 145 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: would be proud to be to participate in. And what 146 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: we found is and what is one of the things 147 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: that the kind of climate industry doesn't speak too much about, 148 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: is that one percent of atmospheric greenhouse gases are actually 149 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: responsible for over of the warming because not all greenhouse 150 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: gas molecules are equal. For example, a methane molecule is 151 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: eighty six times more heat trapping than a CEO two molecules. 152 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: So what we do is we focus on what these 153 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: molecules are called. There it's a it's a poorly chosen 154 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: uh mis gnomer called short lived climate pollutants and things 155 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: like methane and nitrous ox side and refrigerants. And when 156 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: you focus on that, you produce something called a higher 157 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: cr o I carbon return on investment. And we even 158 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: invented our own metric called c r o I twenty 159 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: which frontloads the warming abatement in the first twenty years 160 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: to make sure that we are doing our part to 161 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: minimize the warming cycle because, as you can imagine, warming 162 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: receives more glacier melts more ice, which which creates less 163 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: reflectivity to the solar radiation back into space, which creates 164 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: more warming. So the more we can frontload our impact, 165 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: the higher the more time will buy ourselves long term. 166 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: So Abraham with the Biden Infrastructure Plan includes more billion 167 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: dollars to boost clean energy and promote climate resilience. Is 168 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: it enough? Is it a start? How do you view it? 169 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: So it's definitely not enough. We literally need trillions of dollars, 170 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: about two point three trillion dollars a year just an 171 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: energy infrastructure investment alone, let alone all the other areas 172 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: that contribute to warming, because it's not just an energy play. 173 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 1: Our food systems are water systems or agricultural systems. They 174 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: all contribute, and they contribute substantially. So we need a 175 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: much higher number than what this plan is proposing. But 176 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: it is a start. We're now talking about this, and 177 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: I'm glad that the market understands that this is a 178 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: massive job creation opportunity. It's a massive investment opportunities, probably 179 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: the largest investment opportunity in human history. Because everything has 180 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: to be upgraded. All the nineteenth century and twenty century 181 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: is infrastructure technology that we rely on all has to 182 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: be upgraded to their twenty first century counterparts. So and 183 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: this is these are all um technologies that make us 184 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: a better, faster, more cleaner society. So this is a 185 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: natural transition, and I'm glad that we now have to 186 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: do it, and we can't you no longer just can 187 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: you know, kick the can further down the road any longer. 188 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: We have to do it now. And I'm proud of 189 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: this administrations for leading the charge in putting it out 190 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: there and investing these close to a trillion dollars on it. 191 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: We only have about thirty seconds within this bill. There's 192 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: been a lot of talk about those e V charging stations. 193 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: A lot of people have said that batteries aren't always 194 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: clean in and of themselves. Are the EV charging stations 195 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 1: and the push to EV is that a good enough 196 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: goal to have as we think about getting away from 197 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: traditional gasoline. So, I mean, the the energy infrastructure in 198 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: the US is all being upgraded, you know, maybe albeit slowly, 199 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: to a clean, clean sources and a new upgraded grid, 200 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: which is there's a lot of money for upgrading the 201 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: grids between that we can now treat forward energy from 202 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: places that are efficient when it comes to wind and 203 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: solar to areas that are less efficient. So yep, all right, Abra, 204 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: We're going to leave it there. Thank you so much 205 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: for joining us. Ibraham al Husseini, founder and managing partner 206 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: of a full cycle, joining us from Los Angeles. Let's 207 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: get the latest on the investigation into the harrisment claims 208 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. I guess one of 209 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: the most recent pieces of news on that is Cuomo's 210 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: top aid, Melissa de Rosa, resigns mid harrassment claims against 211 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: the governor, raising to some the question of you know 212 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: who shares in some of this liability here. Let's get 213 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 1: to that question with Ronnie said Home, managing partner set 214 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: Home Law Group based in New York City. So Ronnie, 215 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us here. I thought it 216 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: very interesting that again, this top aid Melissa de Rosa resigned. 217 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: What do you thinks behind that and what are some 218 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: of the I guess legal risk for those in the 219 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: Cuoma inner circle. Thank you so much for having me 220 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 1: on the show. First and foremost, well, you know your 221 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: guess is as good as mine on why she resigned. 222 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: But most individuals do not resign from a a job 223 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: that pays them upwards of two and seven thousand dollars 224 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 1: a year for no reason. But from a legal perspective, 225 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: there's something called aider and a better liability, And very briefly, 226 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: it means that even if you are not the person 227 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: who is accused of sexual harassment in this case, you're 228 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: not Governor Cuomo, you may still be found to help 229 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: have helped him uh with his pursuits, and therefore you 230 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: may be found liable. So in this case, perhaps Mr 231 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 1: Rosa was an aider and a better Your guess is 232 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: as good as mine should I mean, have we seen 233 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: examples of this aid aider and a better in business 234 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: cases or just your corporate cases that you've seen. I mean, 235 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: there there is certainly a lot of discussion about aid 236 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: or and a better liability, but in my opinion, there 237 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: is not enough of a discussion. We always focus on 238 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: the individual who was sexually harassing somebody. Of course, that's important, 239 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: but when you have someone here uh with who is 240 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: accused by several women, not just one woman, it's likely 241 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: that there's a whole litany of people who who are 242 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: helping the protagonist, and therefore, I think we should have 243 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: more cases that discussed this aid or and a better liability. 244 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: But yes, you do see it oftentimes with banks in 245 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: law firms. Unfortunately, there have been several of the news 246 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: I'm sure you've touched on the subject, and in larger corporations. 247 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: I mean, should there be It seems like it's extraordinary 248 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: difficult for the victims to to move forward with their cases. Here. 249 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: Is there some belief within the legal community that maybe 250 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: there should be some standard le google protocol to maybe 251 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: manage this whole process better, to give uh the victims 252 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: maybe more rights or make it a better process to manage. 253 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: I think that while there is a lot of training, 254 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: you know, it was made mandatory, you know, relatively recently 255 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: having sexual harassment training on annual basis in New York 256 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: State and New York City prior to New York State, 257 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: I don't think that the training goes far enough in 258 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: helping people with their investigations. I don't think that there 259 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: is enough information and communication around the fear that some 260 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: people may have and that's why they're not coming forward, 261 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: whether it is because they were harassed or because they're 262 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: helping uh this person sexually harassed somebody. It can be 263 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: something as small as you convince someone to go into 264 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: a room alone with another person, or it can be 265 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: uh more subtle. But the point is there's generally, in 266 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: my experience, multiple people involved when there are multiple victims 267 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: involved Cisco. I mean, you think about this, and there's 268 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: been some very high profile cases coming out of the 269 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: media industry, for example with Harvey Weinstein and maybe you 270 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: know some other executives in the media industry. It seems 271 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: like unless it gets to the board level, it doesn't 272 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: really get the attention it needs. I mean, is it 273 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: something that board members need to be held accountable for 274 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: for the workplace of the company. Uh. That's a tough question, 275 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: and to me, it would really depend upon how often 276 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: this board is meeting and what information gets to the board. 277 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: I don't think you should hold someone accountable simply because 278 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: they're part of an organization. In fact, recently, I think 279 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: there was a good decision that said that your boss, 280 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: Mr bloom berghers himself cannot be named as a defendant 281 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: simply because somebody in the organization may have harassed somebody. 282 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: So I don't think it's fair to attack the owner. 283 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: I don't think it's fair to attack the board members 284 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: if they had nothing to do with it. However, in 285 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: my mind, it doesn't matter to me whether the aid 286 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: or in a better was a high profile person or 287 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: you know, a lowly low rank individual or someone who's 288 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: not even part of the company. Anyone who is involved 289 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: in this kind of behavior needs to be punished, and 290 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: no one is really discussing that. Instead, uh, people are 291 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 1: allowed to resign or they just disappear, But we need 292 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: to go after those individuals also because I don't want 293 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: there to be a culture of approved, condoned, or any 294 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: other word you want to use sexual harassment in the workplace. 295 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: What what are you looking forward to as next steps? 296 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: With Governor Cuomo in this whole situation, would what should 297 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: we be looking forward to as next steps? I mean, 298 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: I would really uh like to hear both sides of 299 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: the story. I'm an attorney, so I do believe in, 300 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: you know, the system of justice that we have here. 301 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: I I think that we need to hear both sides. 302 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: But at the same time, I think that the inquiry 303 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: that the Attorney General was making into non Governor Cuomo 304 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: employees is a good one and I really want to 305 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: monitor that and see where that goes. How I mean, 306 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: this is something that would go potentially outside of his 307 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: inner group, or do you think this is they're going 308 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: to try to keep it pretty close. I think they're 309 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: going to try to keep it relatively close. I mean, 310 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: just putting the law side for a second and using logic, 311 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: it's easier to get somebody who's a confident of yours. 312 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: It was personal loyalty to you to help you with 313 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: whatever it is you're trying to accomplish. Exactly. So, all right, 314 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 1: very good, Ronnie set Home, thank you so much for 315 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 1: joining us. Roddy set Home, managing partner for set Home 316 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: Law Group based in New York City, giving us some 317 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: added context to these investigations of Governor Cuomo. Looking at 318 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: the markets here again, kind of a bye day in 319 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: the markets. SMP essentially no change, the Dow off about 320 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: two tenths of one percent, and NASDAC up just slightly 321 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: up about one tenth of one percent. The Russell the 322 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: small cap stocks, they are off about two tenths of 323 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: one percent. Looking at the treasury market here to ten 324 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: year treasury trading off three UH off about three basis points, 325 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: putting the yield up I'm sorry, to one point three 326 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: percent a ten year, I'm sorry. The third years still 327 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: below two percent on the tenure at one point nine 328 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: five H so just extraordinary. We've had some rates moving 329 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: back up over the last several days, but still historically low. 330 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: Of course, as we have a Federal Reserve talking about 331 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: continued low rates UH and really talking about tapering perhaps 332 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: late this year, but more likely into next year. So 333 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 1: that's kind of what we're getting out of the Federal Reserve. 334 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: And of course Jackson Hole coming up later this month. 335 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: That'll be another data point or another opportunity for the 336 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: Fed to UH lay out some scenarios here. Looking at 337 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: the uh VIC for Tom Keane, it remains low at seventeen. 338 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: Looking at the dollar Index d x Y nine two 339 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: point nine at d x y slightly higher here this morning, 340 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: balance of power with David Weston that is coming up 341 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: in just moments. He will drive the conversation forward and 342 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: have the latest on the infrastructure package. On Paul Sweeney, 343 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: this is Bloomberg. Like most people, my TV viewing is 344 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: going more and more from the lineal traditional UH television 345 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 1: broadcast cable networks more towards streaming. More and more content 346 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: is going towards streaming, and a lot of that streaming 347 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: is advertising supported. And we talk about advertising, you have 348 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: to count that audience, and that historically has meant a 349 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: c Nielsen in company getting those Nielsen ratings. But not 350 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: everybody thinks Nielsen is doing a good job with the 351 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: streaming world. Disney, I'm sorry to Discovery CEO David Zaslow 352 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: he hopes the industry leaves Nielsen in the dust after 353 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 1: ratings blunders. Let's get to the bottom of that with 354 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: Mark Douglas, founder and CEO of m N t N 355 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: pronounced Mountain based in Los Angeles. Mark, thanks so much 356 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: for joining us here. You know, Nielsen, it seems like 357 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: you know they've been the gold standard for advertising, television advertising. Um, 358 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: that's the metric that billions of dollars of ads spending 359 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: is bought and sold every year. But they've had a 360 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: hard time keeping up with the new technologies. Where are 361 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: they VISA V streaming? Well, the way they think about 362 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: Nielsen is, in my view, they're an analog company and 363 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: we now live in a world. So the way they 364 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: measure audiences is they literally asked people what they watch 365 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: using panels, and you know, when you had cable television, 366 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: that was the only way to do it. But now 367 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: we live in the world where everything is delivered direct 368 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: to your home and it can be precisely measured, and 369 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: Nielsen is not yet doing that, and that's the problem, 370 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 1: and you know, some big money is being spending. We 371 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: talked about advertising streaming on demand a s v O D. 372 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: I think that's Peacock, right, is that is Peacock an 373 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: example of that, absolutely, so Peacock. There's what's called Crimson streaming, 374 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 1: which everyone knows is Netflix and Disney Plus. But the 375 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: bigger the market that's going very quickly is ad supported. 376 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: So that's Peacock and Bravo and Discovery Channel, any of 377 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: the things you watch like on your your Roku or 378 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: you Apple TV, any of those apps that's that's generally 379 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: most of that now app supporters. So how did those companies, 380 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: like again the Discovery CEO publicly saying, you know, we're 381 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 1: leaving you know, a lot of money on the table 382 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: because Nils is not capturing that audience. Do we know 383 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: how much money in fact is being left on on 384 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: the table. Well, I think the way to think about 385 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: that is is last year or even this year, there 386 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: was a lot of talk about shows that were under 387 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: performing big ones like The Ochsters and things like that, 388 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: and some of that probably definitely had to do with 389 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: the audience losing interests are being preoccupied with the pandemic. 390 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: But increasingly people think it was just literally Nielsen couldn't 391 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: measure it or didn't measure it, and so that costs 392 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: those companies a lot of money because the ad rates 393 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: are based on the size of the audience, and so 394 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: if Nielsen doesn't measure the entire audience that someone like 395 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: the CEO of Discovery, that's a really, really big issue. 396 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: It left a lot of money on the table. Also 397 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,479 Speaker 1: for advertisers, they want to know how many people they're reaching, 398 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: and so if Nielson can't tell them um accurately, then 399 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: that's a problem. But luckily we're moving into this world 400 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: where it is to be accurately measured, just not by Meilson. 401 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: What is Nielsen's response to these criticism, because historically it 402 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: seems to me they've always been three or four years 403 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: behind where the industry was in terms of how people 404 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: are consuming the video. I'm not sure Nielsen has a response. 405 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: Look at other forms of advertising. If you look at 406 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: Google with paid search, or you look at Facebook with 407 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: paid social, um, they don't need a Nilsen. Google can 408 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: tell you exactly how many ads they served in how 409 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: many people and the and so can Facebook, and so 410 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: can every other company in the digital ad industry like 411 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: Mountain we do we do ads on on streaming television, 412 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 1: and so Nielsen there's not necessarily room for them, and 413 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: and it's not needed, and there's no other form of 414 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: what you can think of a digital adverage tiking, which 415 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: is what streamingsion is when Nielsen plays a role, and 416 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to play a role in 417 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: streaming at all going forwards, certainly not a role they 418 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 1: played on cable. On cable television the path I think 419 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: the best days are behind them. Well, who is the 420 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: replacement for Nielsen er or what is the technology or 421 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 1: what is the solution here to capture this this viewing right, 422 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: So when you're at home and you're watching, you pick 423 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: the show you want to watch. Even though it feels 424 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: like a television experience, it's more like going on the 425 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: internet and just picking a video to watch. It's more 426 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: like YouTube, you know, just selecting the video and so 427 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: that's called that's that direct streaming is done through technology 428 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: called in add server and and any time that add 429 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: server streams any time that shows just like if YouTube, 430 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: you play a video off YouTube, YouTube is able to 431 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: count it um anyone streaming those shows like Discovery like 432 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 1: you know and a peacock, they are counting the number 433 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: of views themselves and they can report that data directly 434 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: to the advertiser and to variety and you know, all 435 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: the sources that are interested in them. So there's no 436 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: there's not a need for this end. The company that 437 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: estimates the number of people watch you know, all of 438 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: these TV network now can just tell you exactly because 439 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: the streaming one point is the whole point in was 440 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 1: it was an independent measurement. Will advertising dollars be transacted 441 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: on something that you know Discovery tells me or CBS 442 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: tells me, Well it is. Now there are ways of 443 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: auditing that you can as an advertiser demands audit rights. 444 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: That's pretty common, but you know that's what everyone does now. 445 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: You know, Google sells more than a hundred billion dollars 446 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: a year of advertising, Facebook over eighty billion, dollars a year, 447 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 1: and for the most part, those same advertisers trust the 448 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: data that Google shares them and trust the data that Facebook. 449 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: But the advertisers can get smart and they can ask 450 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: the ways to audit the data. And I don't think 451 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, Google or any TV network wants to and 452 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: caught up in the scandal of you know, overestimating their numbers. 453 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: All right. Fascinating story, market developing story for the world 454 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: of digital advertising and some of these streaming networks to 455 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: get their fair share.
