Speaker 1: thank you for listening. We try to keep this short

3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 1: six minutes Longer podcast twenty minutes, Good Girls, Girls Podcast,

4
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: The Big Take, it's like three hours long. I'm kidding.

5
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful produced twenty minutes and David Gurra there

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: with this important discussion of his conversation with Janet Yellen

7
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: over the weekend in Texas. We do a shorter thing

8
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: you can slip in among your other podcasts listening. We

9
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: try to find it's always difficult any given three hours

10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: of Bloomberg Surveillance on YouTube, Apple car Play, Android Auto

11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: on our terrestrial radio, Good Morning Boston ninety two nine FM,

12
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: Washington ninety nine one FM. It's just all the different

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: we're on Bloomberg originals. I didn't know this until the

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: other day, all the distribution opportunities. There's a lot of

15
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: good conversations. One of them today was William Speed. You

16
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: probably don't know the name. Bill Smead is iconic out

17
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: of Washington State, Seattle, now in Phoenix, and when you

18
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: look it is three year and five year track record

19
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: of investing, it gives pause. He's a value investor. He

20
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: buys straw hats in winter. As mister Baruch said, in

21
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: the last year, he's been buried. But he struggled with

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: growthiness because he doesn't own Apple, he doesn't own Nvidia.

23
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: He owns stuff out of favor. Bill smeaed on patience

24
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: in investing.

25
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: We were arguing that interest rates would normalize at some

26
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: point in time, and people would say, Bill, when's that

27
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: going to happen? And I'd say, well, you can't hold

28
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: your breath till then. Well, the same thing happens on

29
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: the euphoric side in common stocks. It might be six months,

30
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: it might be a year, but when it hits it's

31
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: so quick. I mean, remember how fast the Fed raised rates.

32
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: They went from a quarter to five and a quarter

33
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: in a year. It was the biggest interest rate increase

34
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 2: in a year. And if you weren't ready for it,

35
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: you know, you got caught by it. Well, the same

36
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: thing will happen in the equity market. In other words,

37
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 2: Buffett used to talk about it being like Cinderella at

38
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: the ball. You've been told that at midnight the clock

39
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: of strategy.

40
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: Well, Bill Smeede with us, there a smed capital in

41
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: Phoenix value investor very much in energy stocks right now.

42
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, someone dereks the door. I

43
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: think a Betsy Stevens said at ann Arbor, who absolutely

44
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: owns the thinking carefully about the economics and finance and

45
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: policy of divorce. Betsy's last conversation with us was absolutely

46
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: riveting about childcare. Someone else that owns a high ground

47
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: here is Jennifer Lawless. She's at the University of Virginia,

48
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: and she's made an absolute cottage industry out of studying

49
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: women in American politics. And you know, you ask her

50
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: the usual question why we had a female president like

51
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: in other countries, sort of just understood and her core theme,

52
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: this is really important. Her core theme is the ambition

53
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: to get into politics to begin with. She's focused much

54
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: more not a way I should say, she's focused much

55
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: more away from presidential decision making and much more to

56
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: state and local community politics. Jennifer Lawless, University of Virginia.

57
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: The real answer is that there just haven't been enough

58
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: female candidates to do it. So, first of all, it

59
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: is important to remember that Hillary Clinton received more popular

60
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: votes than Donald Trump did, so it's not that Americans

61
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: aren't willing to vote for a woman. Now, obviously we

62
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: left our president through the electoral college, so winning the

63
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: popular vote didn't, but public opinion was on her side.

64
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: But that's really been the only opportunity that the American

65
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: people have had until heading into election day this year

66
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: to cast a ballot for a female president. When it

67
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: comes to Congress, when it comes to state legislatures, gubernatorial elections,

68
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 3: women do just as well as men. The key is

69
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 3: that they need to run in the first place.

70
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: Course of debate tonight, Balance of Power, Joe Matthew, Katie Lyones,

71
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: David Girl are really focused on Philadelphia. You'll see that

72
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: over the next twenty four or even forty eight hours.

73
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: Is well, we're out on ample CarPlay and Android auto

74
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: and YouTube. The best thing you can do for me

75
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 1: subscribe to Bloomberg podcasts out on YouTube and just as

76
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: in aside, I can't say enough about YouTube premium. You

77
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: have to pay for that, I pay for it, but

78
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 1: YouTube premium is really clean and simple as well on

79
00:04:49,480 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: ample podcasts. This is single best idea I know many

80
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: of us
