1 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: From the heart of where innovation, money and power colli 2 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: in Silicon Valley and beyond. This is Bloomberg Technology with 3 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: Emily Jay I'm Emily changing San Francisco in this Bloomberg 4 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: Technology coming up in the next hour. Elon Musk tries 5 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: to back out of the billion dollar Twitter deal again. 6 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: Turner projects him again. All this a day before the 7 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: whistleblower is scheduled to testify on Capitol Hill. How could 8 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: that change? The trial will discuss claus streaming platforms going 9 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: all out for sports broadcast rights, a conversation with Amazon's 10 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: global sports video vice president on its big ticket deal 11 00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: for Thursday Night football, and Morley some making bets on 12 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: the blockchain and n f E t startup backed by 13 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,279 Speaker 1: Serena Williams just got a big deal with the NBA. 14 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: We're going to talk to a top execut at so 15 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: rare later this hour. All of that in a moment, 16 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: but first, let's talk a little bit more about Twitter. 17 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: Musk now Twitter rejecting that latest effort to cancel the 18 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: deal yet again, saying it's quote invalid and wrongful. His 19 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: third attempt to walk away from this deal and third 20 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 1: times not the charm that whistleblower former Twitter employee Peter 21 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: zat co A K A. Mudge, testifies before the Senate 22 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee Tuesday. Here discuss s Bloomberg's Jeff Feely in Wilmington, Delaware, 23 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: and Alex Barnka in San Francisco. So, Alex, first of all, 24 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: what are we expecting to hear from Peter zat COO 25 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill tomorrow? Yeah, so I think that that 26 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: the hearing tomorrow will probably follow two lanes of conversation. 27 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: There'll be questions around the data privacy concerns, around the 28 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: bots and fake at counts that Zacho has alleged that 29 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: the company either ignored or didn't disclose. But I also 30 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: expect the Senate Judiciary Committee to focus on some more 31 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: of the data privacy issues that legislators care about. Um 32 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,119 Speaker 1: that might be a little less relevant to the acquisition, 33 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 1: but increasingly relevant as d C has been able to 34 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: push through antitrust legislation but has not gotten a lot 35 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: of traction on data privacy, So they might take this 36 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: opportunity to lean into some of those themes as well. Now, 37 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: Jeff Elon Musk is trying to use new information that 38 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: Twitter signed a seven million dollar separation agreement with Peter 39 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: zach Co back in June. Must trying to use that 40 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: as a reason to cancel the deal. You know what 41 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: exactly is he trying to say here, Well, he's basically 42 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: saying that that payment constituted something outside the ordinary course 43 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: of business. When you have these buyout agreements going on, 44 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: one of the provisions it's often in there says that 45 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: the seller has to continue to run the business in 46 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: the ordinary course. Mr musk contention is this seven million 47 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: dollar severance payment was somehow tied to silencing Mr Zacho 48 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: so that he would not bring forth his his complaints publicly, 49 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: so that that, he claims, is another reason that there's 50 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: been a material adverse event and he should be able 51 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: to cancel the deal. It don't sound like a lot 52 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: of money, seven million dollars to get this guy to 53 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: go away, Alex and then he ends up, you know, 54 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: blowing the whistle. Anyway, Can you tell us a little 55 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: bit more about what happened here between Zacho and Twitter? Yeah, Emily, 56 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: the sticker shark that you're having might be some of 57 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: the reason why Musk feels like he can lean into 58 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: this as an argument that um, this type of settlement 59 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: should have been brought to his camp and his outside 60 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: the regular course of business. So this was a guy 61 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: who was an executive on the security side, was brought 62 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: in um number of years back and oversaw a lot 63 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: of the important kind of security pieces and the teams 64 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: that worked on those things internally at Twitter. So um, 65 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: he is a person who you know, claims that he 66 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: has kind of insider knowledge on this. The company says, well, look, 67 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: you could have actually made some changes on these things. 68 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: So there's an interesting um kind of back and forth here, Emily, 69 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: I will point out, Um, it has been reported that 70 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: in that settlement agreement he was still allowed to blow 71 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: the whistle um to to govern to the government if 72 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: there were any issues. So um, seven million dollars definitely 73 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: sticker shock um definitely Uh that kind of third strike 74 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: that Ellen is claiming allows him to get out of 75 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: the deal. Um, but did leave that door open for 76 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:50,559 Speaker 1: us to hear from Peter Zacho tomorrow morning. Now Jeff 77 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: has to judge weigh in on this latest request from 78 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: Musk and this latest information about the separation agreement, and 79 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: if not, what are we going to hear from her? Well, 80 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: the judge has allowed Mr Musk to amend his counterclaims 81 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: in the case to add the whistleblowers allegations. I want 82 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 1: to point out that the seven million dollar payment may 83 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: be contractual. We do not know if this was per 84 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: a severance agreement with Mr Zach Coo, so I wouldn't 85 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: automatically recoil at the seven million dollar number. We still 86 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: need to find out what that's all about. I doubt 87 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna learn that tomorrow either. So how are you 88 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: expecting this testimony from Zach Coo tomorrow to be folded 89 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: into the case that, of course was building up to 90 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: this child coming up in mid October. Jeff his his 91 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 1: testimony tomorrow about the national security stuff and potential spies 92 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: within Twitter's employee uh group are the things that the 93 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: senators are gonna be focusing on. The folks that that 94 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: we're concerned about is going to be his his allegation 95 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: that he raised the question of at how many spam 96 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: and robot accounts were embedded within the customer base and 97 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: the Twitter his colleagues lack of interest in finding that out. 98 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: That's the key question in the trial coming up, because 99 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: that's where Mr Musk has put all his chips. In 100 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: terms of defense arguments, well, clearly both parties are gonna 101 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: be watching this, this testimony with bated breath, Uh, Alex 102 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: any word from Twitter about the latest salvo or how 103 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: any of this potentially changes their plans. So they basically 104 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: came out and said, look, we don't buy the argument 105 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: that the separation agreement um is a viable excuse. UM. 106 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: I know that the Twitter camp will also be watching 107 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: this very closely as well a lot of the shareholders 108 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: who are potentially making their voices heard in the shareholder 109 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: vote tomorrow. UM. I would think if things go really 110 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: far down the line of privacy concerns, if there's a 111 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: lot of kind of intra us in the data security 112 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: piece that are unrelated to the acquisition, that would just 113 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: be another thing to add to the list of Twitter 114 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: CEO is kind of big ticket items to care about. 115 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: Twitter has not been brought into d C as often 116 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: as a lot of the larger social media appears. UM. 117 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: So I think, uh, internally, you could argue there's a 118 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: lot of distractions going on at the company right now, 119 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: and if they do get some traction UM. In terms 120 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: of legislators arguments that data privacy should be more important 121 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: than Emily. I would add that to the list of 122 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: kind of some of these ancillary concerns that are outside 123 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: of just operating the business. All right, Alex Brenka Jeff Phey, 124 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: continuing to cover this evolving legal drama for us. Thank 125 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: you both for joining us. Meantime, a story that we 126 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: continue to watch.

According to Bloomberg sources, the 128 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: move could delay the share sale until next year if 129 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: market conditions don't improve. Intel expects the i p about 130 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: to value the self driving tech business as much as 131 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: thirty billion dollars. Warders and others reported earlier potential valuations 132 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: of more than fifty billion dollars. All right, coming up, 133 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: how Amazon and other streaming giants are disrupting one of 134 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: the bastions of traditional television, that is sports broadcasting.

This is the first time a streaming service 139 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: has had exclusive rights to NFL games in the United States, 140 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: and a big challenge to major networks. Amazon told advertisers 141 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: it expects an average audience of twelve point six million 142 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: viewers per game. This according to The Wall Street Journal. 143 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: Vice President of Amazon Global Sports Video Marie john A. 144 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: Hue is the architect of Amazon's Lives Force ambitions, and 145 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: she joins us now to discuss So a huge week 146 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: Marie for Amazon.

Does this seem 149 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: like a turning point to you in sports broadcasting? Absolutely? 150 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I look, honestly, I think this will be 151 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: as big as when the NFL went to cable back 152 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: in nine seven. You know, we know how NFL games 153 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: legitimized and grew the cable cable business, and we think 154 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: the same thing can happen for streaming. So you lead 155 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: negotiations for this thirteen billion dollar, eleven year deal. It 156 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: is a massive deal. How did you convince the NFL 157 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: that Amazon was the place to be, right, Well, you know, 158 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: the NFL cares important, cares a lot about scale and reach, 159 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: and we've got that. We've got that better than any 160 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: better than any other's dreaming service. They also care about production, 161 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: and they knew we we showed in Europe and we 162 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: also showed by our work in the US that we 163 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: can produce the best broadcast for fans. It's incredibly important 164 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: to them and one of the most exciting things for 165 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: me is they care about innovation. You know, the the 166 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: NFL has been able to stay top of mind for 167 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: sports fans for decades because they innovate and they move 168 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: forward and they have that confidence and that that's the 169 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 1: biggest That was one of the biggest tenants in our 170 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: deal with the NFL. We agreed to push each other 171 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: and to continue to push each other on innovating on 172 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: behalf of sports fans, and it's something that's personally really 173 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: exciting and and something that really excites the team. What 174 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: are your goals with audience numbers? I understand we've got 175 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: this Wall Street Journal number that you're expecting twelve point 176 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: six million viewers. Is that correct? Um? I also understand 177 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: the typical viewership is more like sixteen and a half million. 178 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: Are you hoping or thinking that you can get there 179 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: or bigger? Right? Well, you know, our number one focus 180 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: is delivering the absolute best broadcast for fans and the 181 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: trends are in our favor. Everyone knows that more and 182 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: more fans, particularly sports fans, are moving to streaming. Thinks 183 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: this won't happen overnight. This is an eleven year deal, 184 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: but we feel really strongly that if you start with fans, 185 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: you serve the fans, they will come. And so we're excited. 186 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: We we had our preseason game two weeks ago and 187 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: the reaction from fans was just fabulous, and we're really 188 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: excited to get on the field this Thursday. Thursday, the 189 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: Chargers taken on the Kansas City Chiefs. UM. Talk to 190 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: us then about how this benefits Amazon more broadly. You 191 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: know what what's gonna be your measure of success. Is 192 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: it driving audience numbers? Is it driving more Prime memberships? 193 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: Is it getting more customers to buy more Amazon products? Yeah? Absolutely, 194 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: So I hate to sound repetitive, but at Amazon, we 195 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: start with customers. I call them sports fans, and so 196 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 1: number one, we think we serve sports fans better. We 197 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: can serve customers better. But if we wouldn't be in this, 198 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: if we didn't think we could improve the experience and 199 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: make it better for fans. But absolutely, as you said, Emily, 200 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: they're great business opportunities here. Number one, we're Prime. Prime 201 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: Video is a membership service, so we can attract more 202 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: members to Prime. There are plenty of people who have 203 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: Prime who maybe have don't even haven't streamed video on 204 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: Prime Video. And then there are other folks who come 205 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 1: in for Thursday night football and find things like Lord 206 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: of the Rings. So we think, particularly in the Prime 207 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: membership opportunity is huge. We think that opportunity is huge 208 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: for us. And you know, we haven't even talked about advertising. 209 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: You know, advertising, This is a game change for advertising 210 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: for at Amazon. We have a very strong business already, 211 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: but you can't beat this is the most premium video 212 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: advertising inventory out there. So it's a huge game changer 213 00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: for us in terms of advertising. So how do you 214 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: plan to leverage targeted advertising and do some things differently 215 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: that maybe a traditional network wouldn't be able to do 216 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: given all of the data and other ways you have 217 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: to reach your customers? Right, Well, I would start with 218 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: you know, we've done a deal with Nielsen, so we 219 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: we actually are the first streamer to do a deal 220 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: with Nielsen, so we'll have ratings every week. So we 221 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: think that's really important because that is what advertisers and 222 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 1: the industry follows or Nielsen ratings. On top of that, 223 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: as you say, we have first party data, and we'll 224 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: use that data not only to measure our fans and 225 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: to and and to serve to serve them better, but 226 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: also to serve advertisers better. We can actually use that 227 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: first party data to make the advertising more relevant, more targeted, 228 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: more directed. So it's an incredible opportunity. Now talk to 229 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: us about the experience. Is there gonna be a pregame show, 230 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: a halftime show, sideline reporters. How is this going to 231 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: be different than a traditional network at spirit? Right? So, 232 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: so first of all, we start, we start with the basics. 233 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: We have the best broadcast. We think we will have 234 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: the best game broadcast in the business. I mean, well, 235 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: I've been in sports twenty years and you always have 236 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: to remember it starts and ends with the game. So 237 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: we've got iconic broadcasters like Al Michael's and Kirk curb Street. 238 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: We've got Kayleie hard Tongue on the sidelines. This will 239 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: be the absolute broadcast. We've got more cameras than anybody. 240 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: So when you turn on your big screen television or 241 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: whatever device, were on every piece of glass. Whatever you 242 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: watch the game, you can sit back and relax and 243 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: enjoy that huge, big screen experience. But on top of that, 244 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, Emily, we're we're no t T service, 245 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: so we're not satisfied with that. The bar for us 246 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: is really high. We want to innovate, so we're going 247 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: to offer all sorts of innovation and custom customized experience 248 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: for fans. Will have alternate feeds. You can watch the game, 249 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: you can sit down and watch with your family and 250 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: watch the dudes Dude perfect, or you can go, you 251 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: can um and you can explore our x ray experience, 252 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: which is actually without ever leaving the game, you can 253 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: see all sorts of data and statistics and replays. The 254 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: point of Extray is actually to put the tools that 255 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: normally have to wait for a producer or director to say, 256 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: oh let me see that replay, let me show you 257 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: some extra stats. We're going to put that in the 258 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: hands of fans. And then, of course we have all 259 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: the content around the game, so we have pregame, post game, 260 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: we'll have a great late night show, and we've got 261 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: the best the best talent in the business there. We've 262 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: got Charissa Thompson we've got Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez. 263 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: We've got two guys right off the field, Richard Sherman 264 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: and Ryan Fitzpatrick. They're going to be amazing the conversation 265 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: these guys have. They were on the field with these 266 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: guys just last year, so they'll take fans literally inside 267 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: the thinking of the players on the field. And we've 268 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: got a great surrounding cast. And then we've got we're 269 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 1: also going to offer the game and the programming on Twitch. 270 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: Remember we have Twitch, which is an incredibly young, incredibly young, 271 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: um interactive audience, and you know, Twitch is all about 272 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: watching with your community, So we're excited we're going to 273 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: expand the communal nature of sports through Twitch. And then 274 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: on top of it, we've got some shows during the 275 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: rest of the week, so we are going to surround 276 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: fans all week. And as you can tell from my excitement, 277 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: we're we're just thrilled to get going. You know, I 278 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: assume you've got some contingency plans, you know, are you 279 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: sure all cable fans are gonna be able to find 280 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: the game? Are you planning for any kind of onboarding 281 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: issues or an on slot of onboarding issues? Potentially absolutely, 282 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: So we were on every piece of glass, as I mentioned, 283 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: and if you come to any Amazon service, you're not 284 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: going to be able to miss this game, and it'll 285 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: be seamless and it will be easy. But also we've 286 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: got great third party marketing to to also help you. 287 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: But of course we're prepared. We've done this in Europe, 288 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: we've done this in other places in the US. We 289 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: actually have all sorts of online tools, and we're old school. 290 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: We also have phone numbers you can call, and we 291 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: actually put extra people on hand because we know that 292 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: it's incredibly frustrating when you call the sometimes when you 293 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: call those services and you don't get an answer. We 294 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: will have literally thousands of people ready to take those 295 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: phone calls if needed. So we're incredibly excited. We've been 296 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: preparing for this for years. This is really hard work 297 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 1: and it's really complicated, and we've been building at it, 298 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: building towards it for years. We think we're the company 299 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: and the best, with no other companies in position to 300 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: serve a game like this to a concurrent, concurrent audience 301 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: like we're going to experience this season. So the big question, 302 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: of course, then is what next is Amazon planning to 303 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: bid on any of the remaining college sports rights or 304 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: the NBA. What else do you have coming? Well, obviously 305 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: I can't talk about specifics, but what I can tell you, 306 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 1: Emily is we approach everything from the sports fan perspective. 307 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,360 Speaker 1: So the first thing we do is we say, how 308 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: do fans consume this content? Is there a way we 309 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: can do better? Is there a way we can serve 310 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,479 Speaker 1: those fans better? And of course then what can we 311 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,240 Speaker 1: do differently and does it make sense for us? So 312 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: there's literally I can't really think of any sports rights 313 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: we don't look at. I mean, we're in business with 314 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 1: the NFL, We're in business with the Yankees. You know, 315 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: we provide local games exclusively in New York. So we're excited. 316 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: The partners who are willing to come with us are 317 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: the ones who are forward focused, fan focus and really 318 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: want to go as you know, the old Wayne Gretzky 319 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: want to go where the puck is going, not where 320 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: it's been. So last quick question, I know you used 321 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: to work at ESPN. Amazon has a huge content budget. 322 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 1: I wonder if you're also thinking about making new sports content. 323 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: You know, I believe you were involved in the thirty 324 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: for thirties series, um you know, and and maybe original 325 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: sports documentaries and other ways that you can build out 326 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 1: Amazon as a big player in where you go to 327 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: see things about sports. Absolutely, so we've already started that. Emily. 328 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: We've got a series All or Nothing that we've done 329 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: in the US and Europe. We've got great, great success 330 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: with that, and actually five months ago we started a 331 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: separate sports group in my group. We're hiring or staffing 332 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: up if anybody in a young filmmakers out there want 333 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: to come work with us. So we're excited. We think 334 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 1: when you have those that additional content, not only is 335 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: it valuable on its own, we have a high bar 336 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: we wanted to be excellent content, but it also engages 337 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: fans more with the athletes and the teams that then 338 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: we show on live events. It's a really great um 339 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: ecosystem to get going. And we we we found that 340 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: in Europe when we have are all or nothings on 341 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: the Premier league teams, we notice that those fans understand 342 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: and appreciate those players and those teams even more when 343 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: they understand what they've gone through and seen behind this 344 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: and and seen behind the scenes. All right, Uh, Marie Donnie, 345 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: who I believe I got You've got to catch a 346 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: flight to Kansas City. UM, so thank you so much 347 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: for joining us. Amazon Global Sports Video Vice President and 348 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: excited to see how it all shakes out. On Thursday, 349 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: Early indicators suggest Apple's iPhone fourteen pre orders are stronger 350 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: than expected. Pre order data showing that the iPhone fourteen 351 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: Pro Max is the best selling model, and orders for 352 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: the iPhone fourteen or tracking slightly ahead of the iPhone thirteen. 353 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 1: Web Bush saying it's seeing strong demand trends and estimates 354 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: two forty million of the one billion total I phone 355 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: users haven't upgraded their phones in nearly four years. Apple 356 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: shares popping on the news the most since coming up. 357 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: Micron breaking ground on a new fab in Idaho. CEO 358 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: San j me Rotra with us next. Welcome back to 359 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Technology. I'm Emily Chang in San Francisco. Trevor Milton, 360 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: the founder and former executive chair of Nicola, went on 361 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: trial starting this week, charged with Lyne about the company's 362 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: products to mislead investors and prop at the stock Let's 363 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: get back to New York and Bloomberg's at Ludlow, who 364 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: was in court today for the first stages. Ed what happened? Yes, 365 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: So Trevor Milton faces two counts of securities fraud, two 366 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: counts of y fraud, and you're right, m that prosecutors 367 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: have to prove that a Trevor Milton lied about the 368 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: company's technology and its products, and that in so doing 369 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 1: he misled investors and also therefore the investors made the 370 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: choice to invest in his company, Nicola, based on the information. 371 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: He arrived Monday morning Southern Districts of New York here 372 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: in Manhattan for the trial, which was supposed to take 373 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: place in July, but Judge Egardo Ramos granted the delay 374 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: until September twelve, Monday, so that they could take on 375 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: that fourth count of wire fraud. It's a five week trial, 376 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: so we started Monday with jury selection. Tuesday, we expect 377 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: opening arguments, with the prosecution having around three weeks present 378 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: their evidence, and then the defense will come in and 379 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: the burn of proof is on the prosecution here. This 380 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: trial could run for around five weeks through the end 381 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: of October, and as they say, the focus for the 382 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: prosecution is convincing the jury that a Trevor Milton lied, 383 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: misled investors. About the company's progress, it's technology, what it 384 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: had actually achieved, but also the investors, retail investors in 385 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: particular were moved or motivated to invest in the stock 386 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: for that reason. You remember it. It's Pete. This was 387 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 1: the poster child back wave of ev companies went public, 388 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: virus back, and at one point it had a market 389 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: cap rating them forward, things are very different now and 390 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,880 Speaker 1: all right, Ad Ludlow, thank you. Will continue to wait 391 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: for your updates as the child progresses. Meantime, Micron just 392 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: broke ground on a new memory manufacturing fab in Boise, Idaho, 393 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: the first of its kind in the US in twenty years. 394 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: The chip maker plans to invest roughly fifteen billion dollars 395 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: on the plan over the next several years, making it 396 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: the largest private investment ever made in the state. I 397 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: caught up with Micron CEO Sandre ma Rotra in an 398 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: exclusive interview earlier. Take a listen to what he had 399 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: to say. We have been are research and development technology 400 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: leader from Boise for decades and now being able to 401 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: combine it with leading edge memory manufacturing technology. This will 402 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: just accelerate time to market of new technologies, new solutions 403 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: for the benefit of the customers as well as of 404 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: course driving US leadership and semiconductor technology. So this is 405 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: a big day. This is a big announcement. And this 406 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: is enabled by Chips Act, which was just signed by 407 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: President by it in a month ago, because that is 408 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: really important in terms of leveling the playing field. So 409 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: this is very exciting. It will bring seventeen thou jobs 410 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 1: here in Idaho over the course of the rest of 411 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: the decade. We will be starting production sometime in TWI 412 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: of course, construction to start some time in twenty twenty three, 413 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 1: and this will be transformative and we'll be bringing on 414 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: production of course in line with the industry's demand. Now 415 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,239 Speaker 1: Micron of course already has many plants across Asia. How 416 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: does this impact operations globally? Does this mean you'll always 417 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: consider building in the US? First, of course, we have, 418 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: as you noted, well diversified footprint across Asia for our manufacturing. 419 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: And again chip SACKED now enables the leveling the playing 420 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: field whereby now the production can become cost effective with 421 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: the support of grants from Chips and investment tax credits. 422 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: So of course we will continue to invest in our 423 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: plans in Asia as well. But when we look at 424 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: the demand for memory. By twenty thirty timeframe, semiconductor memory 425 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: demand is expected to double in terms of revenue opportunity. 426 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: That requires new way for capacity. That's why we started 427 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: this plant here, announced this plant here, and actually had 428 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: the ceremony that launches the construction for this plant. Uh. 429 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: And this will basically enable us. This will basically enable 430 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: us to meet the growing demand for the era for 431 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: semi conductive memory technology. Of course, we'll keep investing in 432 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: technology transitions in our overseas plans as well. Is the 433 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: money that's been set aside by the US government enough 434 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: others have called it a start. That's right, it's a 435 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: good start. And the support in terms of CHIPS grants 436 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: as well as investment tax credits will help US level 437 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: the playing field with foreign governments which have been supporting 438 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: investments in semiconductors in their countries for a very long time. 439 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: Of course, companies like Micron will continue to invest from 440 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: their operating cash flow as well as from the balance sheet, 441 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 1: and of course big part of the investments will come 442 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: from Micron, but the CHIPS grants are absolutely essential. Without chips, 443 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 1: we would not have been able to make this investment. 444 00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 1: This announcement today, Do you have any concern and that 445 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: it's governments and not market forces setting the agenda for 446 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: what is needed and that that could down the line 447 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 1: create excess capacity. It is extremely important as and as 448 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: I noted earlier, that we will be bringing on production 449 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: in the future in line with the industry demand projections, 450 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,919 Speaker 1: the end market demand projections, and of course each of 451 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: the companies that is bringing their own semiconductor production up 452 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: will be managing, should be managing, and I can speak 453 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: for Micron, we will of course be managing with discipline 454 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: our supply growth, keeping an eye on demand growth and 455 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: keeping them balanced to the best of our abilities. Now, 456 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: you and Micron warned about slowing demand about a month ago, 457 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: which triggered a broader concern about a slump across the 458 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: chip industry overall, What can you tell us about demand 459 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: as you see it now? Is it indeed slowing down? 460 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: And if so, how much this is for the memory industry, 461 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 1: for the semi conductive memory industry. This is a challenging 462 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 1: environment primarily driven by inventory adjustments that our customers across 463 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: various end markets are making, and that's really impacting the 464 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 1: industry demand and supply balance. Of course, we have taken 465 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: actions in this regard in terms of adjusting our supply 466 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: growth plans for the future. But you know um Emily 467 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: very well that in semiconductors actions taken it takes a 468 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: while before the results are achieved. So it will take 469 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: us few quarters before I believe industry demand and supply 470 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 1: and balance will be restored. But what's important here is 471 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: what we're announcing today is about the long term future. 472 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 1: The demand drivers for long terms AI five G, autonomous 473 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: and of course across data center, industrial automotive. Those demand 474 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: drivers in terms of consumption of memory requirements for the 475 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: long term or intact and that's why to meet that 476 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: growing demand requirement of the future, investments need to be 477 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: made now because there's a long lead time to build 478 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: these fabs and the production will only start in the 479 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: second half of this decade and it will of course 480 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 1: be managed in line with the demand projections for the future. 481 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: So clearly a huge step for Micron breaking ground on 482 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: this fab today. I'm curious what you think this means 483 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 1: for the broader industry though, if demand is slowing or 484 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: you know, at least for a few quarters, as you say, 485 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: how long do you think we could be in a 486 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: cycle of oversupply, you know, not just where Micron is concerned, 487 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: but across the broader chip industry. So look in mentory 488 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: adjustments take a while to work through the system, and 489 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: I can tell you that memory industry tends to be cyclical. 490 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: But what's important is that the health of the memory 491 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: industry is really ultimately driven by long term demand trends. 492 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: And I think that's important that as near near term 493 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: perturbations take place due to factors such as inventory adjustments, 494 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: actions are taken fast to bring demand and supply in balance. 495 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: But of course it takes a while, it takes a 496 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: few quarters for their demand supply to get im balance. 497 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: But important thing is that actions that are taken fast. 498 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: We are being responsive in that regard, but we are 499 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: also managing for the long haul, the lo the long 500 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: haul in terms of the growing demand needing more investments 501 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: in order to meet the requirements of our customers. As 502 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: we look ahead to the second half of this decade, 503 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: there's of course been a lot of talk about the 504 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: competition between the US and China on this front. Just 505 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: how big is China in the memory market in particular, 506 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: and is it's something that the US government should be 507 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: concerned about. So there are Chinese companies with the support 508 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 1: of the Chinese government, you know, that have been making 509 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: certain progress with respect to the memory and of course 510 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: you know these are taken into account when we look 511 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: at overall industry supply and the industry supply growth, expectations 512 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: of the future, and what we are here doing at 513 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: Micron is continuing to stay ahead in terms of the 514 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 1: technology capability. Of course, we always want a level playing 515 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: field and of course respect for intellectual property, but we 516 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: have to continue to drive our own technology roadmap. Today 517 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: Emily Micron is a leader global leader in semiconductor deram 518 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: as well as nand technology. And this is where right 519 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: from here in Boise the teams that have produced tremendous 520 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: amount of innovation that in the future we'll be able 521 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: to combine with bringing into manufacturing right here as well. 522 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: These are all chips ACKed enabled activities that actually ultimately 523 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: help secure the national security of the U S as 524 00:30:53,800 --> 00:31:00,479 Speaker 1: well by having manufacturing of critical um infrastructure needs chips 525 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: being made here in the future in the semi inducted industry, 526 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: M MICR and CEO Sandrea. There we still have some 527 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 1: work to do I know security being a big, big 528 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: part of that, and you're seeing some of the cybersecurity 529 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: UM investment investing going way up. But um in the 530 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: grand scheme and you look at the thesis of the 531 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: blockchain and the teas the house should work. UM, it 532 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: definitely gives athlete opportunity to go directly to this fan base, 533 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: that gives the fan, uh you know, insights. That's a 534 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 1: lot different and it's essentially cutting out the middle man. 535 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: That was NBA champion and investor andre Iguadala speaking about 536 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: the intersection of sports and n f t S. Let's 537 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: dive deeper into this conversation in our Crypto report. Now 538 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: with fantasy sports and blockchain Cup so Rare, which is 539 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: backed by, among others, tennis great Serena Williams. The company 540 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: has already inked partnerships with Major League Soccer in Major 541 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,240 Speaker 1: League Baseball and is now adding the NBA with the 542 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: first free to play fantasy game based on digital cards. 543 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: So we're CEO O Ryan Spoon joins us now for 544 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 1: more on this deal. So talk to us Ryan about 545 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: how this partnership with the NBA came together. First, Thanks 546 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: for having me. Um it came together. It's it's just 547 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: a very natural evolution. You heard Andre talk there about 548 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: the importance of the opportunities that blockchain enables. We all 549 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: know I spent years at ESPN on the digital side, um, 550 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: how important and fun uh And how fast growing fantasy is. 551 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: We know that on the collectible side, and so when 552 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: you tie fantasy and collectibles with the blockchain on a 553 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: global scale, the NBA is a perfect perfect product and partner. 554 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: Uh And it's our third launch. As you mentioned, we 555 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: have a big global soccer, global football game and community 556 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: that's been very successful. A couple of months ago we 557 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: announced and then launched our MLB partnership and so were MLB. 558 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: And we're super excited to be doing this with the 559 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: NBA right up around the U the upcoming season launch. 560 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 1: This puts you in competition with NBA. Top shot, how 561 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: do your platform stuck up? So we are very specifically 562 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: focused on n f T based games. Uh So, players 563 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: collect their cards you come in uh and everyone. Once 564 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: you register, you get a free set of cards, and 565 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,760 Speaker 1: with those cards you play the game, and the game 566 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: you're managing the cards. Uh So like a fantasy draft, 567 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 1: but instead of ESPN, who I know and love and 568 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: spent time this weekend doing my my fantasy drafts. Here, 569 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 1: the player has the agency to pick and manage his 570 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: or her roster. As you do that, you end up 571 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: collecting cards as rewards. That's very different. I've admiration for 572 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,320 Speaker 1: Top Shot, I've admiration uh, and I'm a user of 573 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: a lot of other platforms. But in our space, the 574 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: fantasy based games, we are the leader, and these relationships 575 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: are also um. You know, this is the lane that 576 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: we are exclusively focused on, and we think we have 577 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 1: demonstrated real leadership in now you've launched soccer and baseball 578 00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: n f T projects previously, No surprise, Aaron Judge and 579 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: showhir Tani are the most used cards. What kind of 580 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: traction have you seen so soccer. Soccer has obviously a 581 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: larger runway. It is very uh successful, It's very large 582 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: community behind it. Obviously it's a global game. Uh. The 583 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 1: user based on our side is global. The traction is global, 584 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 1: and when I say geographically diverse, it really is from 585 00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: all segments of the world. We closed last year, still 586 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: believe we're in early days. We closed last year doing 587 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: three million in card sales on the platform. We exceeded 588 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: that in the first two quarters of the year, and 589 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: now you begin to UH to introduce MLB. We did 590 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: that end of July. The traction there has been really 591 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: positive and encouraging. UM also a global footprint, which we 592 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: think is important. Baseball is a really excellent product here, 593 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: UM and sport because of the stats based nature, the movement, 594 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: the surprise and NBA is going to be fantastic. We 595 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: all know UM how important the stars are and the 596 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: players and for what it's you know, it's worth noting 597 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: our deal on the NBA side is with both the 598 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: NBA and the n B a p A UM, so 599 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 1: these are licensed UH, player driven cards UM. And I 600 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: also think it's worth noting that MLB's biggest day on 601 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 1: the platform was when we announced NBA last week, and 602 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,560 Speaker 1: so that's a really important example of how we think 603 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: all these sports can fit together, how the global nature 604 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,280 Speaker 1: of these games hopefully works together. UH. In this concept 605 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: of being able to collect a j Hoannice card or 606 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: a Mike Trout or a killing and Bope and do 607 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,760 Speaker 1: that across the entire platform, that's a really big exciting idea. 608 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: All right, good stuff. Bryan Spoon, CEO so rare. Well, 609 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: andre iguadala is excited about it. That, um, you should 610 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:39,320 Speaker 1: get some folks excited. Thanks Ryan so much. Blue Origin 611 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: aboarded a launch of its suborbital New Shepherd rocket moments 612 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: after takeoff. This happened in West Texas, and it is 613 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: the first major failure for Jeff Bezos company in several 614 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 1: years Bloomberg. Lauren Grash joins US now from Austin with 615 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 1: more details. So, Lauren, what happened, Well, we actually don't 616 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 1: have a lot of detail is at the moment. Basically 617 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: all we know is what we saw on the live 618 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: stream of the the launch today. This was a pretty 619 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 1: regular routine launched for Blue Origin. They were launching research payloads, 620 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: many of which were funded by NASA. No people were 621 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: on board, thankfully, but it was meant to be a 622 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: pretty regular launch for them, sending these payloads to space 623 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,880 Speaker 1: and back. And then sometime a little after a minute 624 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: into the launch, something seems to go wrong with the 625 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: engine and it triggered the aboard escape system for the capsule. 626 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: How significant is a failure like this in what would 627 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: have been a pretty routine launch. I think Blue Origine 628 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: got really lucky today because there was no people on board. 629 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 1: I they have a pretty good track record when it 630 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,360 Speaker 1: comes to their their flights. They only really suff suffered 631 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: one partial failure really early in their testing regime. So 632 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: this is the first time pretty much all of New 633 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,359 Speaker 1: Shepherd's history that they've had a major failure like this. 634 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 1: So I think it's it's probably going to be a 635 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 1: while before we see New Shepherd fly again. So what 636 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,200 Speaker 1: is next here? Um, you know, when something like this happens, 637 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: a significant failure like this, do you go back to 638 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: the drawing board? You know, can years pass potentially as 639 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: we've seen with NASA before, someone else before they try 640 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,400 Speaker 1: to attempt this once again. Yeah, it really depends on 641 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 1: the source of the failure. The f A already said 642 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 1: today that they're going to be looking into this. Uh. 643 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: Fortunately no one was hurt today and the booster that 644 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 1: you saw break away from that capsule, uh fell into 645 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,800 Speaker 1: a hazard a designated hazard zone, so ultimately everyone is safe. 646 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: But yes, the f A said they will look into 647 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,560 Speaker 1: it and New Shepherd won't fly again until they get 648 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 1: to the root of the problem. And it really, like 649 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,799 Speaker 1: I said, it depends on what the source of the 650 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,560 Speaker 1: issue is. You know, with these commercial companies. They can 651 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: be a little a bit more nimble when it comes 652 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,879 Speaker 1: to return to flight. We've seen SpaceX return of flight 653 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 1: pretty quickly after um some anomalies in the past, and 654 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 1: so maybe it could be similar from Blue Origin. We 655 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 1: just can't say for sure because we really don't know 656 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,880 Speaker 1: what what cost it. Can you put this into the 657 00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: context of Blue Origins broader ambitions of course, you know, 658 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 1: I was there the day Jeff Bezos went into space. 659 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 1: They have sent other folks up there, celebrities, Uh up 660 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: up there, you know, talk to us about how this 661 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: fits into the broader end, longer term plans. You know. 662 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: Of course he's talked about this space colony and more. Well, 663 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: I think it might be tad worrying for folks who 664 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 1: might have a ticket to fly with Blue Origin. You know, 665 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: this this was a rocket specifically geared toward launching payloads, 666 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: but it is essentially the same rocket that they used 667 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 1: to send people to the edge of space and back. However, 668 00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: some comfort can be had and the fact that it 669 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,239 Speaker 1: kind of worked asn't tended this an in flight aboard system. 670 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,720 Speaker 1: Basically what you saw is as soon as the system 671 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 1: detected there was a problem with the rocket motors fired 672 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,840 Speaker 1: on the bottom of the capsule and immediately separated the 673 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: capsule from the rocket, and that landed safely in the desert. 674 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 1: So presumably if there had been people on board, they 675 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 1: would have been just fine and would have landed safely. 676 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: Can't say for sure, and thankfully there weren't any people 677 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,319 Speaker 1: on board. Um, but the system did seem to work 678 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: as designed, so there is some comfort in that. But 679 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,320 Speaker 1: you know, I might, I'm if I had a ticket, 680 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: I might, yeah, be a little nervous in the future. 681 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 1: All right, point taco and Bloomery.
