We're 5 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: gonna jump right into it. Richard Greenfield one of the 6 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: most courageous securities analysts out there because pilloried years ago 7 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: on a thing called advantage guy named Walter Pisk who 8 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: told me to buy Apple years ago. I didn't. I'm 9 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: not allowed to buy anything. But anyways, the two of 10 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: them together are very powerful. Paul, let's dump jump into 11 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: the conversation. We gotta go really with the topic of 12 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: the moment, which is his five G thing in Whahwei. Yeah, 13 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: there's just a tremendous amount going on here as we 14 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 1: think about on the telecom space globally, Walter, let's start 15 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: with that. You know, we think about the Huahwei news. 16 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: It's in them, it's right in the top topic right 17 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: here in the news this week. But it really ties 18 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: into the biggest deal in your space, or one of 19 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: the biggest deals in your space, Sprint t Mobile. What's 20 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: the latest there, and how's it all tight in it? 21 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: Really does? I mean, there's there's a tremendous focus on 22 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: this race to five G and and beating China and 23 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: being the first to have our country our companies excel there, 24 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: and you know, pushing back on Huawei is part of that. 25 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: It's also part of the trade war. But I think 26 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: it's you know, I think was as has been mentioned 27 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: over the past twenty four hours, but you know, Sprint 28 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: TEA Mobile, is it transaction that is getting pitched in 29 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: part on you know, even if it raises prices, does 30 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: T Mobile get enough spectrum to accelerate five G? And Again, 31 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: if this is a political agenda um for the administration, 32 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: that could be something that that supersedes how the d 33 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: o J typically looks at transactions, which should be really 34 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: on whether it raises prices for customers or not. So, 35 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: I mean, when we think about the five this race 36 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: to five G on a global basis, in your perspective, 37 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: is it really the US versus China? I mean, I 38 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: think it's that's the primary focus. Right. You've got a 39 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: number of vendors there, their ability to move fast on 40 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: deploying UM technologies in their country. UM, So that that's 41 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: definitely been the focus on the administration. UM. You know, 42 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: being first is clearly important UM and starts to develop, 43 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: you know, who can have leading market shairs. But look, 44 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we're effectively shutting down Huawei. 45 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: That's going to provide an opportunity for other companies to 46 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: to excel on the at least on the infrastructure side. 47 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: I mean, rich, I was the last one to get 48 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: an iPhone. I was the last one to get the 49 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: iPod thing before it as well. Is your content world 50 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: going to catch up with Walter's five G world? I 51 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: mean is it? Are we going to consume in five 52 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: years with five G like we consume now? Well, look, 53 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: I think the one of the big questions we have 54 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: right is you know what you're seeing is TV is 55 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: shifting to the Internet. You know, it used to be. 56 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: I think we were often looked at as a heretic 57 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: talking about our good Luck bundle hashtag four five years ago. 58 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,399 Speaker 1: No one's calling us a heretic anymore. I mean now 59 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: it's just a question of how fast is the traditional 60 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: linear TV world melting down? Cord cuttings at record levels. 61 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: You're seeing essentially every major media company kind of if 62 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: you look at the legacy media companies, they just went 63 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: through their big TV advertising upfront where they show up 64 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 1: all their new shows for the coming year, and they 65 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: actually spent more time only the beginning of every single presentation, 66 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: Tom was talking about their streaming plans, Warner Media starting one, 67 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: NBC starting one, Disney's talking about owning a percent of Hulu. 68 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: Now at the beginning of their presentation, I mean, it 69 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: was all about the Internet, and so once you shift 70 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: TV to the Internet, five G flows perfectly. And in fact, 71 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: I think one of the most interesting things that no 72 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: one's talking about right now is what Verizon is planning 73 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: on doing. What So Verizon signed a deal when they 74 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: reported earnings, they came out with the press release that 75 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: they are expanding their partnership with YouTube TV. So you 76 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: take a best in class over the top cable service 77 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: and you combine it with Verizon. Now they're not just 78 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: packaging with five G. They're planning on selling it. Instead 79 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: of selling FiOS TV, they want to sell YouTube TV 80 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: and they haven't started the marketing for that. But you know, 81 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: you asked the question of how they're going to take 82 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: advantage of what five G can do. And I think 83 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: that's a great example of you know, the actual quality 84 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: of the experience of combining what YouTube and Google have 85 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: done with YouTube TV with these better networks is really 86 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: interesting to us. So one of the things as I 87 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: think about having YouTube guys in the studio together, I 88 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: think about the A. T and T Time Warner deal. 89 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: But you know, Tom, these are the big A T. T. 90 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: One of the biggest names in Walter Space and Time Warner. 91 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: You know, the Legacy Media, a company that Richard and 92 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: I've covered for a long time. Putting those two companies together, Walter, 93 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: from your perspective, was that a good deal for A 94 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: T and T. Part of it for A T and 95 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: T is that could becoming this massive conglomerate and its diversification, 96 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: and they're figuring out ways to to continue to fund 97 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: dividend grow, which is what their investors care about the most. 98 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: So if they can create a five G studio like 99 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: I guess for eisen has and and figure out ways 100 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: to mix the technology with the content, I guess they're synergy. 101 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: Come on, T and T has done eight point one 102 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: percent per year for the last ten years. Rich Greenfield, 103 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: that's a failure right, I mean, is a T and 104 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: D ready for a moonshot? I don't think so. Look, 105 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: I call it the many ways. I look at the 106 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: whole space and call this the March of the Penguins. 107 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: You probably remember the beginning of the movie Tom where 108 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: all of the penguins are huddling the Emperor Penguins. It's 109 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: freezing cold, winter's coming and they huddled together for survival. 110 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: None of the media companies are doing anything interesting. I 111 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: mean A T and T buying Time, Warner, Discovery merging 112 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: with Scripts, Disney buying Fox Via commerging with CBS. These 113 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: are the most unexciting transformative transactions. We got a minute 114 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 1: here and then we're gonna come back. And as I 115 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: get things to talk about Walter Pi, if the creative 116 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: people walk out the door, these companies change, don't they do. 117 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: There's this existing amount of library, and there's these Look, 118 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: the direct TV customers are fleeing every quarter, but there 119 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: is some residual free cash flow that helps them to 120 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: fund the dividend. But yeah, I mean, look, it's important. 121 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: Rich would know far more about that than I do. 122 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: Um Game of Thrones is over. You know what happens 123 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: with HBO what happens with HBO. Look, but look, you know, Tom, 124 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: I would say that you know, at the end of 125 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: the day, UM content is about spending money, right, I mean, 126 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: you've got to spend a lot of money. You've got 127 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: to really invest in it. I think it's way too 128 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: early to tell how much A T and T is 129 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: going to invest in businesses like HBO. We haven't even 130 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,559 Speaker 1: seen their new kind of Warner Media whether they're gondn't 131 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: call it HBO Max. But we haven't even seen this yet, 132 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: so it's still pretty early than Yes, there's been a 133 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: lot of change. People are definitely nervous, both internally and externally, 134 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: but we'll see what they actually put up on the screen. 135 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: This is a joy. Rich Greenfield Walter with us will 136 00:06:52,480 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: continue this discussion Falsephenian time can thrilled on media jab 137 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: where us Walter pri secon Yes, we'll get to Apple 138 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: had a couple of emails. We will get to Apple 139 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: with Mr Pick as we can. He dragged along our 140 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: green Field where this is Rich give us a story 141 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: quickly of the vantage I p o. I want to 142 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: go back, Tom, that's too far ago. I can't even 143 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: you know, I'm too old. My memory doesn't go back 144 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: really important about the courage of securities analysts and that 145 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: you have an opinion and the company gets angry, what 146 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: do you do? Look, I mean, you know, take a 147 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: great example of Disney. I mean, they didn't like our 148 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: celerating for three years. Um, you know, the stock ons 149 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: are performed. I mean the only real movement in the 150 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: stock has been in the last sort of eight weeks 151 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: where it had a big bump, but it was basically 152 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: flat for three years straight, flat to down. Where are 153 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: you buy old Cell and Disney right now? Now Now we're 154 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: at neutral and we're just waiting. I think, you know, 155 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: the good news for dis Me is they've set really 156 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: ambitious goals. The bad news is, uh, the cable ecosystem 157 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: is coming unhinged, chord creditings accelerating. But look, the the 158 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: issue answer your question, very bluntly, is they don't let 159 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: us into analyst meetings, they don't let us call them, 160 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: they don't respond to emails. It's disappointing behavior from a 161 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: big public company. But the reality is we don't need 162 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: them to do our job, and we're gonna unfortunately, Tom, 163 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it happens more than you would think. 164 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: But what you and I should have done aboutour or 165 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: five years ago. Tom has just listened to this guy 166 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: Rich and just gone basically, I'm gonna paraphrase here, long 167 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: Netflix and just short the rest of media. And that's 168 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: kind of where Rich has been, and it's kind of 169 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: where the stocks have traded. But so Rich specifically on 170 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: Disney here, you know the way I kind of look 171 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: at it. If anybody can compete against the Netflix or 172 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: the Amazons or maybe even the Apples and the facebooks, 173 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: it's gotta be Disney. I'm not sure if they can 174 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: do it, But do you think they have what it 175 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: takes to make this pivot to where the world is going? Look, 176 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: they absolutely have the content to do it and the 177 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: creative resources to do it. The question is is do 178 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: they really want to quote unquote win and And by 179 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,239 Speaker 1: meaning by that, I mean they have to spend aggressively. 180 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: You know, you can't just go in and and dabble 181 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: in streaming. You have to literally put all of your 182 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: focus on making this work. And the challenges is you know, 183 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: Avengers is amazing, right, I Mean, Walt loved Endgame. He 184 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: sat through the whole three hours with his family. He's 185 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 1: a super Marvel fan. I mean, there's no doubt about it. 186 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 1: So did you know they sold two billion dollars worth 187 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: of tickets worldwide? So figure let's just say ten dollars 188 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: a ticket. Two hundred million people bought tickets, and Disney 189 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: knows the names of literally none of them. They don't 190 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: know that Walt and his family love Marvel and Avengers. 191 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: So part of the problem is Disney still sticking with 192 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: movie theaters, home video DVD iTunes. They're not shifting to 193 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: a model where if you want to watch Avengers, the 194 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: only place to watch it is on Disney. Plus, that's 195 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: just too disruptive for them, And so I think the 196 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: question is how aggressive is Disney in shifting their business 197 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: model to make the streaming service a winner? Because they 198 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: can win. It's a matter of how disruptive, you know, 199 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: disrupting yourself. You go back to Apple and Steve Jobs, 200 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: and disrupting yourself is really hard culturally to do, and 201 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: media companies generally management teams are not incentivized to blow 202 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: up their legacy business models to build for the future. 203 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: And I think that that is a real inhibitor of 204 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 1: winning in streaming. So so Walter, let's let's pivot to 205 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: Apple here, because, as Richards is saying, it's hard to 206 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: change your core business model. For Apple, it's been that, 207 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: let's the unit sales of iPhones has kind of been 208 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: the story for to the last decade or so. You 209 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: can throw on iPads if you want, you can throw 210 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: in some other things, some wearables, but it's really been 211 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: the phone. Uh can that company? Can Apple make the 212 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: pivot to what is the next thing? And I'm not 213 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: even sure I know what the next thing is? Yeah, 214 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: I mean the next thing for them is the focused 215 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: on services and it's and services is not something that's 216 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: necessarily disrupting what they're doing. I mean, look, they've had 217 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: a speed bump in the past year, given the volatility 218 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: that exists in China and sales in China and the 219 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: fact that people are just holding onto their phones for 220 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 1: a long period of time. There's a lot of people 221 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: out there, Tom, I don't know what what do you got? 222 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: An iPhone six success? And there's a lot of people 223 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: that have very old iPhones that they haven't upgraded for 224 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: all he's checking right now, He's not even sure, yes, exactly. 225 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: So the upgrade cycle is at some point can stop lengthening, 226 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: and so your your iPhone business is still generating tens 227 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: of billions of dollars of free cash flow, and they're 228 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: sitting on a ton of cash. And this is stuff 229 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: that they can use to build a content business, not 230 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: necessarily go out and buy a library and legacy product. 231 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: I mean, Riches talked at length about what Netflix has 232 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: done over the past ten years and the amount of 233 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: money they can spend. Apple's got nine million active users 234 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: of its iPhones. If it can start bringing them content 235 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: and sign them up to a subscription based service, that's 236 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: where they're going, and that's not something that's disrupting their 237 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: existing business. What level of cheap is Apple right now? 238 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: It's how to pull back the Apple gloom cruise out 239 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: in full force China. We're all gonna die on the 240 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: Walter pisk range. How cheap is cheap now? For it's 241 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: kind of cheap. It's not super cheap like it was 242 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: five months ago when it was discount to the market. 243 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: I think we're like to turn discount to the market 244 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: has come back largely on these trade warfares, so you're 245 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: not getting a massive bargain on it right now. And 246 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: there's frankly risk what they are a huge target in 247 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: this trade war, what we've done as a country to Huawei, 248 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: and now what you're seeing in China as far as 249 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: the negative sentiment towards the US have an impact on 250 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: other numbers. Just because the time, Richard, What's what's your 251 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: one idea right now? Give us a stock idea today 252 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: where Sweeney can go large this summer. The single best 253 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: idea for your listeners right now that I would go 254 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: all in on it is Snapchat. You know, we think 255 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: Snapchat is making the turn. It is a hated company 256 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: by Wall Street, very much like Twitter was two years ago. 257 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to talk about it in investor meetings. It's 258 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: been left for dead. The stocks bounced off the bottom. 259 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: It's still well below it's sixteen dollar I p O 260 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: two plus years ago, but it is getting better. They 261 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: are shifting into more of a platform versus a walled garden. 262 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: People are not focused on that transition and the fact 263 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: that the product is getting better, and so I look 264 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: at a stock that can move meaningfully over the course 265 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: of the next six to nine months. Snapchat is the 266 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: single best idea I have on alongside. Before we let 267 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: you go, guys, just real quick, Viacom, CBS soon soon soon. 268 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,079 Speaker 1: But on the other hand, it's a broken record. We've 269 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: been saying soon for three years, but a lot of 270 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: people had to get fired first. And Tom, that's the 271 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: next drome. If you're looking for what's going to replace 272 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: Game of Thrones, it's gonna be what happens with Sherry 273 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: Redstone And yes, some there we're still alive. And the 274 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: two companies of CBS and Viacom, And then the time 275 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: to both of you and both the answer within your 276 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: capabilities what happens to sports on media? I mean, does 277 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: Amazon start bidding against the networks were all familiar with. 278 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: I mean Amazon's already starting, right, I mean Thursday Night 279 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: football you can simulcast on Amazon. They've done things like 280 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: US Open Tennis overseas. But in five years, are they're 281 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 1: going to be dominant? Or you know? It's funny. Jimmy Pittaro, 282 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: who runs ESPN, was interviewed the other day by your 283 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: competitor over at the Wall Street Journal, and he was 284 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: asked a similar question of like, could you imagine in 285 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: five years you wake up and Amazon, Google and Facebook 286 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: all owned major sports rights, And he basically said, I 287 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: can't envision that, Like, I just don't think it's gonna happen. 288 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: And look, it may not be all three, but I 289 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: would be shocked, Tom, literally shocked if one of the 290 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: major tech platforms didn't buy some major sports rights over 291 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: the next couple of years and Sunday tickets up right now. 292 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: Amazon could buy Sunday ticket right this year. This has 293 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: been wonderful. Thank you so much, both of you coming in. 294 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: Walter Price second, Rich Greenfield's great, and particularly great because 295 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 1: their entourage is so large that we got him into 296 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: the Claim Daytrium here at our world headquarters. They are 297 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: with bt I G. Again, don't ask us for their literature. 298 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: We protect the copyright of all of our guests literature. 299 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: You can get it and bt I G. Rich Greenfield, 300 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: Walter Pissek Paul to get things started with Craig Moffatt, 301 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: who's won the Institutional Investor Awards so many times. I 302 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: think they named it after Yeah, exactly, the cable telecom 303 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: to Craig with us, and I love Craig your single 304 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: phrase on a T and T searching for a unifying theory, 305 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: whether we own a T and T or not we 306 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: care about Ma Belle, is this does this mob bell 307 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: have a future? Well, how are you, Tom? You know, 308 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: I I don't know if it has a unifying theory. 309 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: That's the problem. Um. The some of the businesses are 310 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: healthier than others. Um, the wireless business is getting a 311 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: bit healthier. The media businesses that they've bought UM based 312 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: I think an uphill challenge to compete with Disney Plus 313 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: and some of the online streaming solutions. Um. But it 314 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: direct TV, as we all know, it has a world 315 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: of problems. But but the bigger problem with a T 316 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: and T as a whole is is what is the whole? 317 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: What is the unifying theory that makes this more than 318 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: just a collection of disparate businesses, most of which are struggling. So, Craig, 319 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: if I think back all the way to when that 320 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: deal was announced, it was, you know, just kind of 321 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: sum it up. It was, Hey, we've got this big 322 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: wireless network, and let's put some content out to those 323 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 1: on this wireless network, to our customers. How concerned are 324 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: you and you know investors that it seems like a 325 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: lot of the talent from Time Warner walked out the door, 326 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: whether it's HBO or Turner And do I really want 327 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: some telephone guys running my media business. Look that that's 328 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: a big enough problem in and of itself, right, I mean, 329 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: I think it was. There was a good logic for saying, 330 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: at the silos that used to be Time Warner, that is, 331 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: the studio running separately from the Turner networks running separately 332 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: from HBO, that those were two siloed and that there 333 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: was a strategic comparative to unify them somewhat so that 334 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: you could make decisions across the the entire business of 335 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: Warner Media. Um, that that would would make some sense strategically. 336 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: I get that. And in fact, you could also say 337 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: that there's some cost savings in doing that too, and 338 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: that's fine as well. I get all that. That's fine. 339 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: The problem is the hippocratic oath of business, right is, first, 340 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: do no harm to the patient. Um. If the talent 341 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: of an organization like HBO or Turner leaves or Warners 342 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: Warner Brothers studio leaves, you're in real trouble. And and 343 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: so that the challenge facing a T and T is 344 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: how do you make some necessary strategic adjustments without jeopardizing 345 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: the cultural integrity of the business. And the jury's out, 346 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: but you have to be at least a little nervous, 347 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: or more than a little nervous. That's some top talent 348 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,479 Speaker 1: has already left, and that a lot of resumes are 349 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: out there, Craig, just because it's time, I want to 350 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: go to the vision for all our listeners of how 351 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: many players there will be. It's a four apoly now 352 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: in wireless. I guess we're ever in a national debate 353 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: about a triopoli in wireless? Do we care? Or is 354 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: it just Tea Mobile and everybody else? What is it 355 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: right now? Well, look, you're right, it's it's at the 356 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: network layer of wireless. It's for if the Sprint Tea 357 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: Mobile deal gets approved with or without the spinoff of 358 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: the Boost Wireless brand, which is what the companies have 359 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: proposed to the federal to the FCC, and the FCC 360 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: has agreed that that's sufficient. The d o J hasn't 361 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: decided yet. Um, it would still be going from four 362 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: to three networks. And that's the real question that the 363 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: Department of Justice is struggling with. Is three underlying net works, 364 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: irrespective of the number of players retailing on top of it, 365 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: is three underlying networks sufficient? I don't know the answer 366 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: to that. I'm not sure you can make the argument 367 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: that it's good for five G investment and and five 368 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: G technology to to let the third player be stronger. UM. 369 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: But the counter argument that ultimately you're likely to see 370 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: higher prices for consumers not an implausible one. And again 371 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: that's what the d o J is struggling with. So Craig, 372 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,239 Speaker 1: you talk about perhaps you know an uncertain underlying you know, 373 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: strategy for a T and T. Now that's ball time, Warner, 374 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: let's switch gears to Comcast. Um. You know obviously the 375 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: you know, the fantastic cable company over the years, uh, 376 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: you know, they bought NBCUniversal, really getting into the content business. 377 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: They made a big run at Century Fox lost to Disney. 378 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: I guess the you know, the they did the Consolation 379 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: Prize with Sky. Are they a collection of assets or 380 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: do you see an kind of an overriding theme there? 381 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: I see them as two collections of assets. It's it's 382 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: not quite as much of a hodgepodge as a T 383 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: and T is. But the it's not entirely clear to me, 384 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: nor has it ever been, by the way, how NBC 385 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: fits with the cable business. And it's not entirely clear 386 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: to me how Sky, their newest asset, fits with the 387 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: cable business. It sort of fits with NBC. But so 388 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: you know, the challenge for Comcast is now somewhat similar 389 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,639 Speaker 1: to a T and T and that you've got a 390 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: cable business which a lot of people have for years 391 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: said looked like a dinosaur UM that is just moving 392 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: from strength to strength, and the infrastructure underlying UM there's 393 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 1: the physical distribution of ones and zeros, whether it's it's 394 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: Netflix or Hulu or somebody else's O T T video. 395 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: That side of the business does really well in this 396 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: kind of new media future. But it's really unclear what 397 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,959 Speaker 1: happens to NBC and what happens to Sky in that 398 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 1: new media future. And that's what investors grappling with with Comcast, 399 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: which is Comcast is you think of it as a 400 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: cable company, but of its revenues are now non cable 401 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: and so it's kind of split down the middle in 402 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 1: a way that at least to my mind, half of 403 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: it right now looks very good, the cable side, and 404 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: the other half has a lot of question marks. Do 405 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: you have a single best buy right now? I mean, 406 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: given the goofiness of the market China trade all the 407 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 1: other stuff we talk about every day. Is there a 408 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: Moffatt Nathanson, O MG, this is cheap call? Well, I'll 409 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: tell you on my side of the coverage. So Michael 410 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: Nathanson covers media, I cover telecom and cable. On my 411 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: side of the coverage, I really like where the cable 412 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: industry is positioned right now, and UM, to me, that 413 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 1: means Comcast is is half of that business is really attractive, 414 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: But a better way to play it is Charter. I'd 415 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: rather own Charter and I'd rather own Altis USA. Altis 416 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: is still a very cheap stock, even after having a 417 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: nice run. UM, I'd rather own Altie and and Charter 418 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: than anything else in my coverage right now. So so 419 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: Craig just focusing on Charter. That's the you know, another 420 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: big cap name as the second biggest cable operator out there. 421 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: I'm not sure everybody it's not as high profile as Comcast, 422 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 1: but you know, John Malone has a big piece of Charter. 423 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: What do you think Charter does in this consolidating media landscape. 424 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: Do they feel the need to jump in in any way? 425 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: Do you think, um, I think they'd like to buy 426 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 1: more cable if they could but realistically, I'm not sure 427 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: there's much there to buy. Some have suggested that they 428 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: could even try to acquire all t C USA, although 429 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: I find that pretty unlikely. UM. I don't know that 430 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: you need a merger consolidation story, certainly not a vertical story. 431 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: I don't think they have any interest in buying into 432 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: media or anything like that. I don't think you need 433 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: a consolidation story for those stocks to work, or to 434 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: really like the position that the cable infrastructure providers are in. 435 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: After all, those are quintessentially local infrastructure. UM. You can 436 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: string together a lot of localities and make it a 437 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: bigger collection, but it doesn't fundamentally change the economic premise 438 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: of the business just to make it a whole lot bigger. 439 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: Craig Bmfatt, thank you so much, with Moffatt Nathan sending 440 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: here on a number of the things that we pay 441 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: monthly bills to as well. This is real joy to 442 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: have a media focus. Thanks for listening to the Bloomberg 443 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: Surveillance podcast.
