0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 3>Joining us right now with the worst job on Wall

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:32.160
<v Speaker 3>Street seventy row with this chief economist at Wolf Research.

0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 3>Uh well, I got to do the flash first. Excuse me, I'd.

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:39.639
<v Speaker 4>Said this contract it is, and I you know, we.

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 3>Covered equities, but we didn't do bonds and currencies with

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:44.199
<v Speaker 3>a better day to check than I could do with

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 3>our interactive brokers. Bloomberg Business Flash, el Matale.

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 5>You got it.

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 6>And we've got futures mixed. Nazac Future is actually leading

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 6>the games right now, up about three tens of percent

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 6>sixty eight points. A big part of that Tesla shares.

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 6>They're up about six percent sources. A president like Donald

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:02.520
<v Speaker 6>Trump seemed looking to push the development of fully self

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 6>driving vehicles. That's the reason for that. Now we go

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.920
<v Speaker 6>to down futures little change down about forty one points.

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 6>We have SMP futures little changed, up about four We

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 6>have the two year yield at four point two nine percent.

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.320
<v Speaker 6>That's little change they yield on the ten year full

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 6>point four six percent, and that's up about one basis

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 6>point to currency is the Bloomberg Dollars Spot Index right

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 6>now down about a tenth of a percent. We have

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 6>the Japanese yenweeker, euro British pound stronger. We have Bitcoin

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 6>up about seven tens of percent around eighty nine thousand,

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 6>recovering from that biggest two day retreat since the US vote.

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 6>Shares of Nvidia falling down two percent. That's following that

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 6>report over its Blackwell chips. It's led to concerns about delays.

0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 6>And finally another company making news that would be Spirit

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:47.040
<v Speaker 6>Airlines filed for bankruptcy in New York, listing assets and

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 6>liabilities between one billion and ten billion dollars. That is

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 6>your Bloomberg Business Flash, Tom and Paul Lisa, thanks so much.

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 3>Avic sixteen point five seven. Sephany Ross with us with

0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 3>Wolf sefas O excited because you're in the process now

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 3>of putting together your year ahead view at Wolf Research,

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:08.760
<v Speaker 3>to be published December ish, maybe or before or after

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 3>around the jobs report of December sixth. I believe it is.

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.920
<v Speaker 3>How do you do that, knowing the uncertainty of our politics,

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 3>knowing the uncertainty of our economy, do you rewrite it

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 3>in January?

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 7>One important thing to think about is a lot of

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 7>what the policies that Trump might put in place are

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.600
<v Speaker 7>going to be relative or important for twenty twenty six.

0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:31.639
<v Speaker 7>So twenty twenty five, in a way, it's going to

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.800
<v Speaker 7>be about animal spirits, and it's going to be about

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 7>immigration to some extent, but that's going to be the

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 7>bulk of what we see for twenty twenty five, which

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 7>for US is actually a decent economy. An immigration, you know,

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 7>it's probably not going to have as big an impact

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.519
<v Speaker 7>as many thing from an inflation perspective, because the labor

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 7>market's now back in better balance, so we don't necessarily

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:51.920
<v Speaker 7>need the influx of people the way we did two

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.919
<v Speaker 7>years ago. Now, when we're talking about twenty twenty six,

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 7>then it becomes all about tariffs and the uncertainty that creates.

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 7>But this is probably not a twenty twenty five story.

0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 4>How about the deficit is that it seems like a

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 4>story that's every year. So and you know, I've been

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 4>seeing some numbers. We were just talking to someone earlier

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.359
<v Speaker 4>as talking about, you know, the concrease the deficit by

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 4>trillions of dollars? Are you how concerned are you, if

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 4>at all, about that?

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 7>Sure Trump has thrown out eleven trillion dollars worth of

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:22.800
<v Speaker 7>tax cuts. Is he gonna get that all done? No,

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.239
<v Speaker 7>So we're looking for, you know, yes, a tax cut

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 7>that could be a couple trillion dollars, something like a

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 7>net of three. But that's not that different from what

0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.360
<v Speaker 7>Harris was proposing. So the market, the bond market should

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.960
<v Speaker 7>be okay with that. And by the way, we're looking

0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 7>for something that's gonna extend TCJA. And then beyond that,

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 7>we're forecasting about five hundred billion dollars of additional net

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 7>tax increases, which is tax cuts, which is really not

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 7>that impact.

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 3>I mentioned December. I think it's six's it's the jobs report.

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Do you look at the negative statistic with revisions last time?

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Is truly hurricane induced or is there more going on

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.400
<v Speaker 3>right now in the labor economy.

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 7>It's very likely hurricane and so we're going to learn

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 7>a lot more about that in state when we get

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 7>state employment tomorrow at ten am.

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 3>That's one of those who stop the show, take no

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 3>date employment.

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 7>So this is this is going to be the most

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 7>important data point from an economic perspective this week.

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.279
<v Speaker 3>What are you doing tomorrow at ten am? Sweet and

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Alex want to.

0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 4>Know state unemployment? So what do we learn from that

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 4>kind of data?

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.279
<v Speaker 7>So we're going to get this helped us in a

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.480
<v Speaker 7>big way look at Texas after Beryl because we got

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.040
<v Speaker 7>a sense of the the extent of the hurricane impact

0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:32.360
<v Speaker 7>on the data and then we could assume, well, you

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 7>get that back the next month. And this is gonna

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.839
<v Speaker 7>be the same thing. We're going to look at Florida

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 7>most importantly to see to what extent did Florida drag

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 7>down the overall payrols and if it was significant, then

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 7>we know we should be able to add that back.

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so this is state reports. What do they go

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.679
<v Speaker 3>into that we normally report.

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 7>So what they're going to it's it's it's bls, it's

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 7>it's just telling you, basically what happened from a state

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.040
<v Speaker 7>perspective from employment the last week ago, last month, in

0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 7>the last month, so from the last payroll reading we

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:01.719
<v Speaker 7>got that twelve number, which was terrible.

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 3>You're gonna look at North Carolina exactly.

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 7>We're gonna look at the Carolina. We're gonna look at Florida, Georgia,

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 7>and if we see a notable decline, then we can

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 7>know that that's probably hurricane related and the next month

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.279
<v Speaker 7>you'll get paid back in a positive way.

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.480
<v Speaker 4>How's the consumer out there? From your perspective, we had

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 4>some retail sales recently. How do you think about that?

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 7>So the retail sales print was suit was very funky,

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 7>so it was it was negative on core, but then

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 7>when you dig into it, you had pretty big revisions

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 7>for the month prior. So we when we take a

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 7>three month average, you're looking at one point two nine

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 7>percent month on month, which is annualized about three and

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.159
<v Speaker 7>a half percent. Not great, but not terrible. And we

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 7>have to kind of look at it into perspective. It's

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 7>probably you didn't have an incredibly strong September and incredibly

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:45.840
<v Speaker 7>week October. You probably have to think of some sort

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 7>of average between the two, and it was likely related

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:54.719
<v Speaker 7>to a stronger a better weather forecast or betther sort

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 7>of seasonably strong weather in terms of September that boosted

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 7>the print and one reason why we got the significant

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 7>positive revisions in September. You also had an early back

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 7>to school season so the combination of these things lifted

0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 7>September and dragged October because you've got a bit of

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:09.720
<v Speaker 7>a payback from that.

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 3>What's your real GDP? A nominal GDP call twelve months forward?

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 7>Twelve months forward, we're looking for something like two and

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 7>a half percent real GDP, solid solid GDP and something

0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 7>inflation that's two point two fourish. Yeah, two point four

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 7>is so something almost five percent in terms of nominal.

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.080
<v Speaker 3>So how do they react to that at the FED?

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that's that's solid solid.

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.600
<v Speaker 7>It's complicated for the FED, right because they don't want

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 7>to forecast any of the fiscal stuff, so they're going

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 7>to probably want to cut a couple more times. They

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 7>told us that what they really should be doing is

0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:48.000
<v Speaker 7>saying we want to cut to something like four percent,

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:49.599
<v Speaker 7>and then we're going to see where the economy is.

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.720
<v Speaker 7>Because that's that's the message that we're getting from them.

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 7>They say they're data dependent, but they continue to want

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 7>to cut even though the data has been stronger and

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:58.240
<v Speaker 7>inflation a little bit stickier.

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.840
<v Speaker 3>So quickly, here do you use suggests that the December

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:07.679
<v Speaker 3>meeting December eighteen and then over into the next meeting.

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 3>I can't believe I'm saying twenty twenty five, I'm such

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:14.840
<v Speaker 3>a fossil January twenty nine. Those two meetings give them

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 3>still a lot of wiggle room to cut.

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 7>I think they have wiggle room to cut at one

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.000
<v Speaker 7>of the next two, probably not as both.

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.640
<v Speaker 3>It's as close as I get the fed chat. That's good,

0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:24.880
<v Speaker 3>I do.

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 7>Okay, yeah right, They'll probably want to cut it at

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 7>one of the two and then cut it some sort

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 7>of quarterly cadence until the middle part of next year.

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.320
<v Speaker 3>This is like talking to Henrie out a trace. I

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 3>didn't know anything about the state report tomorrow? Did you

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 3>not barely do the lista? Did you keep it from us?

0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 6>Yes?

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 3>Brilliant, Stephanie. We're a huge value had there from Woolf Research.

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:54.239
<v Speaker 2>You're listening to the Bloomberg Surveillance podcast. Catch us live

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 2>weekday afternoons from seven to ten am. Easter Listen on

<v Speaker 2>or want us live on YouTube.

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 3>The last time she was with us, we've got a

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:10.280
<v Speaker 3>huge response. I think it's the mathewness maths. That's how

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 3>they say they do they do. It's different equations for

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 3>sort of different equations. Amanda Robello joins us. Now she's

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 3>a DWS and before we get to all this fancy

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:28.000
<v Speaker 3>mumble jumbo in the quintuple leveraged artificial intelligence big data ETF,

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.720
<v Speaker 3>are you kidding me? Just what are your thoughts on

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 3>the magnitude of the money in the bitcoin ETFs? I mean,

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 3>if I if I talk to somebody Blackrock, I get

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.559
<v Speaker 3>a song and dance. What do you think at DWS

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:44.559
<v Speaker 3>of this moment?

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:48.680
<v Speaker 8>I think it's really interesting. We have laun judicial assets

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:53.280
<v Speaker 8>etcs in our European platform. We definitely think that there

0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.360
<v Speaker 8>is a place for them. But I think that one

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.840
<v Speaker 8>thing that's important, not just with Bitcoin, but with all

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.640
<v Speaker 8>exposures that can be wrapped in an ETF. Do you

0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 8>understand the underlying right? And so I think that at

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 8>the end of the day, this is an access vehicle.

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 3>But Mathe, we just came back from the Boston FED.

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 1>We had the number one payments guy in America, Emeritis

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:20.079
<v Speaker 1>Illinois professor Khan say, bitcoin is basically the new beanie babies?

0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you know what a beanie Okay, okay, okay, that's

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 1>the where's the underlying in bitcoin?

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Or is it a beanie baby? Is Professor kanss I.

0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 8>Think I completely understand what Professor Khan is saying. We

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.679
<v Speaker 8>always think about you know, in your CFA textbook, you're

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 8>always thinking about valuation of an asset, But how do

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 8>we value bitcoin?

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:39.440
<v Speaker 7>Right?

0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.959
<v Speaker 8>So, I think you know, at the end of the

0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 8>day there is some degree of speculation which is driving

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 8>a lot of the volumes at the end of the day,

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 8>probably more more.

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 4>Rather than less.

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.439
<v Speaker 8>So that's definitely something I think all investors need to

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 8>be aware of.

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.080
<v Speaker 4>On the technology front, where at DWUS heard you've seeing

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 4>the flows. Is it still AI?

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 8>It is still AI. So we've launched a number of

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:07.040
<v Speaker 8>different technology focused ets, so we have cybersecurity semiconductors. We

0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 8>also have US national critical technologies, but XAI x is

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.599
<v Speaker 8>the one that we're seeing flows going in on the

0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:14.319
<v Speaker 8>daily basis on our US.

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:15.720
<v Speaker 4>Site AI x XAI.

0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:18.120
<v Speaker 8>We also have a European version as well. It's the

0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:22.720
<v Speaker 8>largest artificial intelligence ETF in the world as of last Friday.

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.600
<v Speaker 4>Cybersecurity, Lisa, here's the here's the ticker for you for

0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:32.680
<v Speaker 4>the cybersecurity ETF PSWD password. How cool is that? How

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 4>that so cybersecurity in addition to it, before there was

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 4>an AI. I always told my kids cybersecurity that's like

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 4>the new plastics. It's going to be. They're going to

0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 4>be spending money on cybersecurity forever, right, So is that

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.880
<v Speaker 4>What are you seeing in that side of the text trade?

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.599
<v Speaker 8>Cybersecurity? We've seen it become much more important. I think beforehand,

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 8>a lot of people were thinking about it in the

0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 8>earlier days of cybersecurity, you know, as a theme, that

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 8>it was more of a consume kind of topic. But

0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 8>I think, you know, with the Russia Ukraine War, a

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 8>lot of people have now seen that cybersecurity is really

0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:10.360
<v Speaker 8>a defense topic, much more than it has been in

0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 8>the past. We also know about you know, hackers in

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 8>different geographies. You know, this is their attempt at warfare.

0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 8>Basically it's easier to build or quicker to build than

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.720
<v Speaker 8>you know, building an army or a navy. Also different

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 8>spends which are required as well. So I think everyone

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:30.320
<v Speaker 8>is understanding now that cybersecurity is important in a different

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 8>dimension than just your McAfee or you're you know, having

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 8>a personal.

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 3>VPM, a meta rebella with a sexpert on ETFs. We

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:40.480
<v Speaker 3>have built tunas today as well. Yeah, it's just too much.

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 3>I got goosebumps DWS group here. I had a white

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.440
<v Speaker 3>paper thirty years ago that tried to model out not

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 3>twenty to one hedge fund blow it up leverage, but

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 3>we're non linearly from one to one out to a

0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.559
<v Speaker 3>little bit of leverage, out to a little bit more leverage.

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Do you run into problem whre's fidelities propaganda for professional investors,

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 3>Leverage gtfs are useful in statistical arbitrage, short term technical strategies,

0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.760
<v Speaker 3>et cetera. Most people are buying them just a goose

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 3>to return. Where's the tip point for you? And where

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 3>leverage is a really tough game to win it.

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.559
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, the thing about the leverage gtfs is that it's

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.440
<v Speaker 8>not you know, two times on a long term basis

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:25.880
<v Speaker 8>or three times on a long term basis.

0:12:25.920 --> 0:12:27.080
<v Speaker 3>People need to understand this.

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 8>Is a volatility resetting strategy, be it in an ETF

0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 8>and ETN instructured products. So I think when we start

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 8>to see volatility increasing quite significantly, we're not at the

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 8>highs of the market, but we are kind of teetering upwards.

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:44.960
<v Speaker 8>Then you start to see that the payoff doesn't work

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.199
<v Speaker 8>in the way that a lot of the investors have.

0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 3>A ratio where that payoff doesn't work as a two

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 3>to one, three to one the quintupple, tws X track

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:55.400
<v Speaker 3>or tech fund.

0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 8>We do not, and we've decided we've made a conscious

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.959
<v Speaker 8>decision to not be in the levered space here in

0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 8>the US.

0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, I offer the triple.

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 4>Why is that? I mean, it seems to be popular products,

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:08.840
<v Speaker 4>it would be, but I think.

0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:11.320
<v Speaker 8>That you know, there are some fantastic you know, competitor

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.320
<v Speaker 8>peers that we have in the market, like who already

0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 8>owned that space, So we don't need to be there.

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.320
<v Speaker 4>All right, The fetch cutting interest rates even though the

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 4>bond yields are going higher. I don't know how that

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 4>all works. What do you guys deal from the ETF

0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.400
<v Speaker 4>front to take advantage of a feeder reserve that peers

0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 4>should be on a pretty significant path of grade cutting.

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.600
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, so I think that you know, for the past

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 8>couple of years or y're in a bit, cash has

0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:39.079
<v Speaker 8>yielded enough and it's you know, effectively risk free, that

0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 8>rotating into cash could have made sense all of us.

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.800
<v Speaker 8>You know, when we think about income requirements within portfolios.

0:13:45.840 --> 0:13:48.199
<v Speaker 8>You know, now five became the new normal, little bit,

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 8>and so we need to think about how we're still

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 8>going to generate that five So we like international dividends

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.680
<v Speaker 8>a lot. HF is our international high dividend strategy. We're

0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 8>known very much for international equities more broad just as

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:04.680
<v Speaker 8>a Frankfurt headquartered entity, but then that one has like

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 8>kind of around a five percent yield on average. Then

0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:11.560
<v Speaker 8>we also think that international real estate can make sense

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:14.600
<v Speaker 8>as well, so houses the ticker and rates we always know,

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:19.360
<v Speaker 8>yes HAUC exactly, and then we usually feel that rates,

0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 8>you know, are income generator, same as infrastructure securities as well,

0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:25.680
<v Speaker 8>So if you want to think about these as well

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 8>as a way to generate kind of four or five

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.400
<v Speaker 8>percent yield, that makes sense. On the fixed income side,

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 8>we really like high yield at the moment. Actually there's

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.600
<v Speaker 8>more of a quality component than there has been historically.

0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 8>So default rates have pretty much halved in the last

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.640
<v Speaker 8>eighteen months, so much stronger, much more stable than historically.

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 8>But then also you can now slice and dice high

0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 8>yield much more than you could do before. So thinking

0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 8>about the higher credit ratings within high yield, things like

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 8>BHYB which is our double B single B exponentials. Also

0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 8>thinking about hy DOWN, which is our low beta high

0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.160
<v Speaker 8>yield product, which is kind of better than a fallen

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:06.520
<v Speaker 8>Angels product because you're looking at the market already pricing

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 8>in better credit quality with yield rather than waiting for

0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 8>the credit rating agencies to then make that call.

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 4>Fascinating stuff. I mean Torston Slock from Apollos out with

0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 4>this weekend saying, hey, interest rates are higher for longer here,

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:23.240
<v Speaker 4>So the top of the high yield space is probably okay,

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 4>but the lower end, yeah, probably at risk. We use

0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 4>calling on interest coverage and all those types of things.

0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:31.000
<v Speaker 4>Exactly are you seeing that in your your investors? Do

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:32.240
<v Speaker 4>they want to take that lower end.

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.080
<v Speaker 8>Risk or now they're not brave enough yet. And it's

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.120
<v Speaker 8>great to hear from torlst In, one of our former

0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 8>dear colleagues. You know, we think that really segmenting how

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.880
<v Speaker 8>yield is making sense, that kind of crossover space is

0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 8>where you need to be. But I think that in

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 8>certain sectors they're still uncertainty in terms of possibility of

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 8>repaying debt, So stay away from the finite.

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:55.880
<v Speaker 3>Amanda think Amanda Rabella with this head of Extracker Sales

0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:57.520

<v Speaker 3>Henrietta Trees she's with Beda Partners, and I'm lucky that

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 3>she joins us right now and informs us about the

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:27.360
<v Speaker 3>great debate. Henrietta, I see different threads here. But can

0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:31.840
<v Speaker 3>the new Senate Majority leader excuse me, yes, the Senate

0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:38.239
<v Speaker 3>Majority Leader Thuon of the Dakotas, the President Leader McConnell

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 3>of the Kentuckys, or whoever can they delay, distress, distract

0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.840
<v Speaker 3>the march president elect Trump wants with his appointees.

0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 7>They can.

0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:56.200
<v Speaker 5>I think that there is a real undercurrent of focus

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.520
<v Speaker 5>on both the House and set it side around President

0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 5>electro seriousness about some of the nominees that he has

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 5>announced so far, and so there is this sort of

0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:08.840
<v Speaker 5>wariness that the President elect might do things that have

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.880
<v Speaker 5>not been done before in American history, such as sort

0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:14.080
<v Speaker 5>of tell the House and Senate to go on recess

0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:15.040
<v Speaker 5>so that he can nominate.

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:16.080
<v Speaker 3>Can we do that?

0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 5>There is a clause in the Constitution that allows the

0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:21.920
<v Speaker 5>president elect to do that, I think it would be

0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:27.439
<v Speaker 5>extraordinarily explosive. And I think what I state to clients

0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:31.959
<v Speaker 5>is basically the autonomy that senators feel, the seniority they

0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:34.240
<v Speaker 5>feel is having six year terms versus four year terms

0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.120
<v Speaker 5>is a very real thing. You don't want to get

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 5>between them and their incredible sense of importance in DC.

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:46.280
<v Speaker 3>To Republicans, and particularly Republicans in name only, with that

0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:50.440
<v Speaker 3>six year tenure coming in, do they look at the

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.680
<v Speaker 3>president elect is lame duck.

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:54.240
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:55.159
<v Speaker 3>I don't think so.

0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:58.120
<v Speaker 5>I think, especially because there's going to be so many

0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.720
<v Speaker 5>freshmen senators, not just the turnover from the election, but

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.360
<v Speaker 5>all the senators that I expect the president elected tap

0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:06.480
<v Speaker 5>to go into the administration. There could be as many

0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.400
<v Speaker 5>as nine freshman senators. And it's worth bearing in mind

0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.080
<v Speaker 5>that over seventy five percent of the House has only

0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 5>ever had Donald Trump as their Republican president. So there

0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:19.479
<v Speaker 5>is this very real deference. Certainly it's held so far.

0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.879
<v Speaker 5>It's only been two weeks, of course, but this very

0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:25.000
<v Speaker 5>real deference. And I'd add on just one more layer

0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.280
<v Speaker 5>here that the president is so much more popular than

0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:29.800
<v Speaker 5>the down ballot Republicans. In some of these states, there

0:18:29.840 --> 0:18:32.520
<v Speaker 5>were as many as forty seven thousand Republican voters who

0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:34.399
<v Speaker 5>went in and pulled a lever for Trump and then

0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:37.360
<v Speaker 5>left the ballot box. They did not vote Republican down

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.120
<v Speaker 5>the ticket. So a lot of those Republican members from

0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 5>specific swing states need to be deferential to Trump because

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:44.720
<v Speaker 5>that's what their voters want them to be.

0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:48.919
<v Speaker 4>So in effect, Henriette, is there in fact a Senate

0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.800
<v Speaker 4>opportunity to challenge some of these Trump appointees or they

0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:55.359
<v Speaker 4>de facto like the Matt Gates or the world. Are

0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:56.080
<v Speaker 4>they going to happen?

0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:58.640
<v Speaker 5>No, I don't think they're going to happen. I think

0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:01.200
<v Speaker 5>that the Senate is going to see itself as a

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:05.639
<v Speaker 5>temper of some of Trump's more aggressive instincts. So, for example,

0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.120
<v Speaker 5>there's a very real effort right now from the Senate

0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.840
<v Speaker 5>Republicans to see the ethics report on Matt Gates, which

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:14.080
<v Speaker 5>has allegations of drug use or sexual abuse, things like that.

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:16.760
<v Speaker 5>They want to know exactly what the Ethics Committee found,

0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:18.960
<v Speaker 5>and so while we might not see that released into

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 5>the public, they do want to see it internally as senators,

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:23.480
<v Speaker 5>and they are going to pull rank to try to

0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:24.240
<v Speaker 5>get access to that.

0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:28.359
<v Speaker 4>I guess the next pick of note, particularly for Global

0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.600
<v Speaker 4>Wall Street, is a Treasury secretary, and there's I guess

0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:33.639
<v Speaker 4>some a little bit of confusion there about where the

0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.520
<v Speaker 4>camp or the Trump administration, the Trump camp, what they'd

0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:38.760
<v Speaker 4>like to see. What do you think is going to

0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:39.159
<v Speaker 4>happen there?

0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:42.879
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think Scott Besset has been the leader for

0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.280
<v Speaker 5>the last couple months. I think that's probably still the case,

0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:47.199
<v Speaker 5>although I do know that the Trump transition team has

0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:50.720
<v Speaker 5>been trying to audition additional CEOs from Wall Street, from

0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:54.080
<v Speaker 5>Corporate America to try to get somebody with staff that

0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:56.040
<v Speaker 5>they can sort of plug and play right into the

0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.200
<v Speaker 5>agency themselves. That component wanted to have a lot of

0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.200
<v Speaker 5>staff to bring with is a really big deal. I'm

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 5>really more interested in Bob Leiinthheiser and where he might go.

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:08.639
<v Speaker 5>I don't expect that to be a Treasury pick, but

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.359
<v Speaker 5>I do think that he'll be sort of a roving czar,

0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 5>which is something that we've seen the Trump transition team

0:20:15.160 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 5>already attach onto as a good policy idea or governing idea.

0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 5>So seeing where Bob Leidheiser land, I think is probably

0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.399
<v Speaker 5>the most important thing, particularly because he's so competent and

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:27.360
<v Speaker 5>whatever he wants done on the tirefront is I think

0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:28.080
<v Speaker 5>what we're going to see.

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 3>And to get back to the recess issue, which I'm

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:36.120
<v Speaker 3>assuming this is like immediate, it's like the now. Can

0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:39.359
<v Speaker 3>one scenario be the Senate says we're not going to recess,

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:44.400
<v Speaker 3>but then the House votes to recess, and that gives

0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:48.520
<v Speaker 3>a president elect a window to put Thune in his place?

0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:51.040
<v Speaker 3>Do I have that right? Yeah?

0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:53.120
<v Speaker 5>I think that's roughly correct. I mean, as I said,

0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:55.280
<v Speaker 5>we've never seen this done before. But if there's a

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:57.719
<v Speaker 5>disagreement between the House and the Senate, the president has

0:20:57.760 --> 0:20:59.840
<v Speaker 5>the authority to step in and say, y'all can't plain

0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.119
<v Speaker 5>slay together. I'm going to disband you for a period

0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:04.440
<v Speaker 5>of time, and so long as it's more than ten days,

0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.520
<v Speaker 5>then he can start nominating recess appointments and those people

0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:10.760
<v Speaker 5>will be in for a specific period of time, probably

0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:14.160
<v Speaker 5>like two years before the next turnover and the next

0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:18.400
<v Speaker 5>Congress starts. But that's the dynamic that they would try.

0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:21.159
<v Speaker 5>The disruption associated with that. I mean, ten days is

0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:23.640
<v Speaker 5>a really long time for your first one hundred days

0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.520
<v Speaker 5>agenda to just disband the House and Senate. That means,

0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:28.359
<v Speaker 5>you know, first and foremost, we're going to have the

0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:30.720
<v Speaker 5>debt ceiling that's due January one in terms of the

0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:33.240
<v Speaker 5>suspension expiring, so that clock is going to be ticking.

0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 5>We'll have other cabinet official appointments that they'll want to confirm,

0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:39.560
<v Speaker 5>and then obviously the tax bill that you need to

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:40.840
<v Speaker 5>get to writing and will not be able to do

0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:43.080
<v Speaker 5>a budget, which is due the first Monday in February.

0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:45.800
<v Speaker 5>There's a lot of stuff to be done. In ten

0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:46.480
<v Speaker 5>days is a very.

0:21:46.480 --> 0:21:48.480
<v Speaker 3>Long time, and paul I saw that there's like four

0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:52.600
<v Speaker 3>thousand positions to fill in eight hundred one thoy or

0:21:52.680 --> 0:21:56.879
<v Speaker 3>twelve hundred of them involved the president working with the

0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:01.320
<v Speaker 3>legislative branch. It's not like forty two people, right exactly.

0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:05.840
<v Speaker 4>That's the US government. So, Henrietta, between now and inauguration day,

0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:08.159
<v Speaker 4>what are some of the key things you're looking for,

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:10.040
<v Speaker 4>the mileposts that you're looking at that we should be

0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:10.480
<v Speaker 4>focused on.

0:22:12.320 --> 0:22:16.960
<v Speaker 5>I am watching the Senate Finance Committee. What we're expecting

0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 5>there is for Mike Crapo, the incoming chair of the

0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:22.119
<v Speaker 5>set of Finance Committee, and who I expect will be

0:22:22.200 --> 0:22:25.000
<v Speaker 5>the Budget Committee chair. Lindsay Graham. They need to huddle

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:28.080
<v Speaker 5>and get together to figure out what the scope of

0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:30.600
<v Speaker 5>the tax bill is going to be, and therefore what

0:22:30.680 --> 0:22:33.920
<v Speaker 5>the magnitude of deficit increases need to be. And those

0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:36.320
<v Speaker 5>two gentlemen need to work together. Those committees have to

0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:38.200
<v Speaker 5>work together because in order for the tax bill to

0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:40.960
<v Speaker 5>pass late next year, you have to have the budget first.

0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:43.080
<v Speaker 5>So they effectively need to know the parameters of the

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:46.080
<v Speaker 5>tax bill right now. And so that is the process

0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:48.199
<v Speaker 5>that is underway. They are going to be working groups

0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:53.040
<v Speaker 5>formed to break out energy tax policy, international tax policy,

0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:55.320
<v Speaker 5>et cetera. And then they'll get with Lindsay Graham and say,

0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:58.120
<v Speaker 5>this is the appetitive deficit increase that we need. Can

0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:01.200
<v Speaker 5>you get this through your committee? Suld know that information

0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:04.760
<v Speaker 5>before January twentieth. The goal is to get some paper

0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:06.040
<v Speaker 5>out to members by December.

0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:11.399
<v Speaker 3>We'll bring a senator from South Carolina back probably had

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:14.439
<v Speaker 3>no idea for twenty one years he's been in the Senate,

0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Senator Graham. Is he going to provide? Is he going

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:22.159
<v Speaker 3>to be deferential to the executive branch? Or is he

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:26.160
<v Speaker 3>going to be you know? Is President Trump says Republicans

0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:29.240
<v Speaker 3>in name only? Is Senator Graham going to join other

0:23:29.400 --> 0:23:31.600
<v Speaker 3>senators and say, no, you're not doing this to us.

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:33.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't think so.

0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 5>And indeed, the Senate Budget Committee has gotten less obstructionists,

0:23:37.880 --> 0:23:41.080
<v Speaker 5>less rhino in the last couple of weeks since the election,

0:23:41.200 --> 0:23:43.720
<v Speaker 5>even than it was before. Mitt Rodney, for example, is

0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:45.720
<v Speaker 5>no longer going to be on the committee, Chuck Rastley's

0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:47.840
<v Speaker 5>not going to be on the committee, and I think

0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:49.719
<v Speaker 5>you're probably going to see some of the freshman senators

0:23:49.760 --> 0:23:52.440
<v Speaker 5>who just won their races rise up to those ranks.

0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:54.960
<v Speaker 5>So the deferential part or the part where you would

0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:57.119
<v Speaker 5>stand up to the president in this realm, exists with

0:23:57.200 --> 0:24:00.600
<v Speaker 5>deficit increases. I'd say the most proprie arry piece of

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:02.879
<v Speaker 5>information in my brain is the understanding I have of

0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:05.800
<v Speaker 5>what can get fifty one votes from the Senate Republican conference.

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:08.359
<v Speaker 5>I believe it will be the biggest reconciliation bill that

0:24:08.400 --> 0:24:11.240
<v Speaker 5>we have ever passed in America, somewhere in the range

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:13.000
<v Speaker 5>of two to two and a half trillion dollars worth

0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:14.000
<v Speaker 5>of deficit appetite.

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:15.920
<v Speaker 3>So in terms of that old school.

0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:18.800
<v Speaker 5>Hey, Republicans are concerned about fiscal spending, that's not going

0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:20.280
<v Speaker 5>to be the case next year. There's going to be

0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:23.080
<v Speaker 5>massive deficit increases and we will know that number from

0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:25.359
<v Speaker 5>Lindsay Graham with the Budget Committee votes, which is a

0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:26.120
<v Speaker 5>very big deal.

0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:29.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, can we agree we learn more from Henriette to

<v Speaker 3>Joining us now from Rio from the Copa Caabana Beach,

0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:06.280
<v Speaker 3>and he's not at the Copa Cabana Palace. He's at

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:11.080
<v Speaker 3>some boutiki thing with a balcony, and you know, you know,

0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:13.439
<v Speaker 3>it's the way rolls. David Gera joins us right now

0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:16.280
<v Speaker 3>from the G twenty meetings. David, I have the recollection

0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:19.640
<v Speaker 3>of a G twenty meeting in Pittsburgh. You didn't cover

0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:22.359
<v Speaker 3>that because there wasn't a beach. There was a Pittsburgh

0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:26.440
<v Speaker 3>G twenty meeting with President Obama years ago that had substance.

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:30.240
<v Speaker 3>Will this G twenty frolic have substance.

0:25:33.320 --> 0:25:35.359
<v Speaker 9>Well, there's plenty on the agenda tom a lot of

0:25:35.400 --> 0:25:38.200
<v Speaker 9>talk about climate and development financing and things that you'd

0:25:38.240 --> 0:25:40.600
<v Speaker 9>find in any number of G twenty summits in the past.

0:25:41.280 --> 0:25:43.080
<v Speaker 9>But the real action at this one is on the

0:25:43.200 --> 0:25:45.600
<v Speaker 9>sidelines where these one on one meetings are happening among

0:25:46.200 --> 0:25:49.280
<v Speaker 9>world leaders, and of course President Biden is here on

0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:51.600
<v Speaker 9>the heels of his trip to Peru for the APEC Summit.

0:25:52.119 --> 0:25:55.600
<v Speaker 9>He's on this kind of swan song trip through South America,

0:25:55.840 --> 0:25:57.840
<v Speaker 9>taking stock of what he's accomplished so far, but also

0:25:57.880 --> 0:25:59.960
<v Speaker 9>reckoning with the fact as you know that his day

0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:02.800
<v Speaker 9>a numbered as president. He's got fewer than two months left,

0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:05.000
<v Speaker 9>and he's trying to offer some assurance to those other

0:26:05.040 --> 0:26:07.239
<v Speaker 9>world leaders as they kind of look to each other

0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 9>and wonder about what the future is gonna bring.

0:26:08.960 --> 0:26:12.320
<v Speaker 3>In the photo op, are they gonna align President Biden

0:26:12.480 --> 0:26:16.800
<v Speaker 3>up under you for United States next to Vietnam? Or

0:26:16.880 --> 0:26:19.160
<v Speaker 3>does he get does he stand in the front row?

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:21.280
<v Speaker 3>As President Trump would assist.

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:26.679
<v Speaker 9>Well, you're hitting on something really crucial here. We make

0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:28.560
<v Speaker 9>fun of these photo ops, but so much goes into

0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:30.680
<v Speaker 9>them about who's standing where and who's next to whom.

0:26:31.600 --> 0:26:32.000
<v Speaker 3>At this one.

0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:34.359
<v Speaker 9>There's an element of awkwardness because the G twenty includes

0:26:34.400 --> 0:26:38.320
<v Speaker 9>not just US allies, but adversaries as well. The Russian

0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:41.480
<v Speaker 9>President Vladimir Putin isn't here, Sergey Lavrov, his foreign minister is.

0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:44.399
<v Speaker 9>And the way that they're getting around any awkwardness about

0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:47.440
<v Speaker 9>President Biden's placement Visavi, mister Lavrov or any others is

0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:49.240
<v Speaker 9>they're going to do this photo op at kind of

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:52.679
<v Speaker 9>a broader development conversation that's going to take place earlier.

0:26:52.880 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 9>So it's not gonna have like a standard twenty leaders

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:57.159
<v Speaker 9>next to each other. It's going to be a wider

0:26:57.520 --> 0:26:59.399
<v Speaker 9>group of people who are invited to that photograph. So

0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:01.520
<v Speaker 9>something different about this this summit as well, Paul.

0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:04.439
<v Speaker 3>I've stood twenty feet, not even twenty fifteen feet from

0:27:04.520 --> 0:27:07.280
<v Speaker 3>the IMF photo op, and you'd think it was like

0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:08.520
<v Speaker 3>your high school photos.

0:27:08.600 --> 0:27:08.719
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:11.919
<v Speaker 3>Why do the football players have to you know, come

0:27:12.040 --> 0:27:13.040
<v Speaker 3>forward exactly?

0:27:13.680 --> 0:27:16.879
<v Speaker 4>Hey, David, to what extent, if any, does President like

0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:19.399
<v Speaker 4>Trump loom over this G twenty.

0:27:22.359 --> 0:27:22.679
<v Speaker 3>Huge?

0:27:22.840 --> 0:27:24.479
<v Speaker 9>I mean, I don't know that everyone's talking about him

0:27:24.480 --> 0:27:26.400
<v Speaker 9>in specific, but everybody's wondering what's going to happen.

0:27:26.520 --> 0:27:26.639
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:29.359
<v Speaker 9>Tom brings up that summit that took place in Pittsburgh

0:27:29.400 --> 0:27:31.200
<v Speaker 9>at the tail end of President Obama's tenure in the

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:34.520
<v Speaker 9>White House. You know, when he was leaving and Donald

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:36.399
<v Speaker 9>Trump was coming in. There was a lot of uncertainty,

0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:38.680
<v Speaker 9>a lot of questions among world leaders about what the

0:27:38.720 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 9>next four years would hold. They didn't know how Donald

0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:42.920
<v Speaker 9>Trump was going to lead, or what his relationship was

0:27:42.960 --> 0:27:46.000
<v Speaker 9>going to be like with other countries or these multilateral institutions.

0:27:46.600 --> 0:27:48.440
<v Speaker 9>Something else that's different about this summit is people know

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:50.440
<v Speaker 9>what Donald Trump is like and how he governs. And

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:52.439
<v Speaker 9>so I was kind of counseled going into this summit

0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:55.280
<v Speaker 9>by Ben Rhodes, who is an advisor to President Obama.

0:27:55.880 --> 0:27:58.119
<v Speaker 9>Don't look at how they're thinking about their relationship with

0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:00.960
<v Speaker 9>Donald Trump. They largely have that figured out, and it

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:03.280
<v Speaker 9>may be, you know, variation on a theme slightly different

0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:06.000
<v Speaker 9>than it was back in twenty sixteen. What's more interesting

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:08.440
<v Speaker 9>and more important is to look at their relationship to China.

0:28:08.520 --> 0:28:11.240
<v Speaker 9>And so walking around here in Rio and Brazil, you

0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:13.520
<v Speaker 9>see the influence that Brazil has on this country, on

0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:16.640
<v Speaker 9>Latin America broadly, the inroads that China has made. We're

0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:18.680
<v Speaker 9>seeing just a real shift in the winds here, and

0:28:18.720 --> 0:28:20.080
<v Speaker 9>I think that you see that kind of in stark

0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:22.560
<v Speaker 9>relief as the summit gets under way. Paul, just the

0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:24.960
<v Speaker 9>role that China's playing, the number of meetings that President

0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:27.320
<v Speaker 9>She's expected to have with other world leaders, and how

0:28:27.400 --> 0:28:29.639
<v Speaker 9>few relative to that President Biden's going to have.

0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:33.320
<v Speaker 4>Interesting, So what is the extent there of the interaction

0:28:33.440 --> 0:28:36.520
<v Speaker 4>between on the sidelines They were seeing some reporting between

0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:39.040
<v Speaker 4>g and President Biden here.

0:28:42.280 --> 0:28:44.280
<v Speaker 9>So they had a meeting over the weekend in Peru

0:28:44.400 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 9>at that Apec summit, and it was a moment for

0:28:46.840 --> 0:28:49.000
<v Speaker 9>them to talk for two hours. They hadn't spoken since April,

0:28:49.040 --> 0:28:51.960
<v Speaker 9>and that was a telephone conversation. So widely agree this

0:28:52.040 --> 0:28:53.640
<v Speaker 9>is the last time they're going to talk while Joe

0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:56.040
<v Speaker 9>Biden's in the in the White House. And again it

0:28:56.160 --> 0:28:59.560
<v Speaker 9>was a moment for President Biden to acknowledge the fact

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:01.560
<v Speaker 9>that the relationship is markedly better than the one that

0:29:01.600 --> 0:29:04.120
<v Speaker 9>he inherited. They do talk with some frequency, even if

0:29:04.160 --> 0:29:06.680
<v Speaker 9>it's not regularly. The lines of communication are open between

0:29:06.760 --> 0:29:11.520
<v Speaker 9>Washington and Beijing. But you know, I mentioned President She

0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:13.640
<v Speaker 9>being here. You have a lot of new faces who

0:29:13.680 --> 0:29:15.840
<v Speaker 9>are just trying to introduce themselves to other folks cure

0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:17.880
<v Speaker 9>Starmer's here and that was the first meeting on his agenda.

0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:19.720
<v Speaker 9>This morning was with President She and that and it

0:29:19.840 --> 0:29:22.640
<v Speaker 9>Selda's revelatory. You haven't had a prime minister sitting down

0:29:22.680 --> 0:29:25.760
<v Speaker 9>with the Chinese premiere since twenty eighteen when Teresa made it.

0:29:25.800 --> 0:29:27.960
<v Speaker 9>It so a reset of that relationship on that side

0:29:27.960 --> 0:29:28.280
<v Speaker 9>as well.

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:32.280
<v Speaker 3>David Rio report, Please were you at the Boteca Savado

0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:35.680
<v Speaker 3>last night? Neighborhood bar seat six? Or do you hold

0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:38.240
<v Speaker 3>court at Belmont Copacabana Palace.

0:29:41.080 --> 0:29:43.600
<v Speaker 9>Look, I've walked by the palace. I'm angling to get

0:29:43.640 --> 0:29:45.800
<v Speaker 9>a Kaiperini there a little later today. But I will

0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:49.840
<v Speaker 9>say the food has been extremely good, the seafood very fresh.

0:29:50.160 --> 0:29:52.160
<v Speaker 9>There is octopus on the menu last night. I veiled

0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:54.600
<v Speaker 9>myself of that. Oh and I mentioned that the kaiperini

0:29:54.680 --> 0:29:59.840
<v Speaker 9>is the cachasa, the cane liquor involved in those extremely smooth.

0:30:00.080 --> 0:30:02.560
<v Speaker 9>I enjoyed a beverage or two of my choice last night.

0:30:02.600 --> 0:30:05.080
<v Speaker 3>Time. I'm on an island off Mexico a million years

0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:07.800
<v Speaker 3>ago and they're playing Fleetwood Mac. I'm like, are you

0:30:08.040 --> 0:30:11.640
<v Speaker 3>killing me? That's on American? Do they play Barry Manilo's

0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:14.800
<v Speaker 3>Copa Cabana in Rio. Tell me they don't.

0:30:17.400 --> 0:30:20.760
<v Speaker 9>I've heard some Tchuell Gilbertto, but not not Barry Manilo yet.

0:30:20.760 --> 0:30:22.160
<v Speaker 9>I will lend an ear to it tonight. As you

0:30:22.200 --> 0:30:26.080
<v Speaker 9>can see behind me, the famous Copa Cabana Beach music

0:30:26.160 --> 0:30:28.720
<v Speaker 9>is playing constantly throughout the day. I've wandered a little

0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:30.480
<v Speaker 9>bit around hope to get into the water. The sun

0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:32.880
<v Speaker 9>rises at five am here, which is such a relief.

0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:35.720
<v Speaker 9>I'm hoping to take take a pre surveillance dip tomorrow

0:30:35.800 --> 0:30:36.880
<v Speaker 9>tom and I'll report back on that.

0:30:37.080 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 3>There we go. David gerrow a team coverage from Coca

0:30:39.760 --> 0:30:42.800
<v Speaker 3>Copa Cabana Beach Radio for those are Rio. For those

0:30:42.840 --> 0:30:46.480
<v Speaker 3>of you on radio not seeing Rio, it is what

0:30:46.680 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 3>a what a view? I mean, it makes me shot.

0:30:50.080 --> 0:30:52.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you know, but I mean, he hasn't seen

0:30:52.240 --> 0:30:54.280
<v Speaker 4>a ray of light, sunlight in his lifetime. I don't

0:30:54.320 --> 0:30:55.840
<v Speaker 4>think the guy's got no color.

0:30:56.440 --> 0:30:58.240
<v Speaker 3>He's just he's like Washington Nerd.

0:30:58.400 --> 0:30:59.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Washington Nerd.

0:30:59.760 --> 0:31:02.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, you'll probably get in the water, Brooklyn. You know,

0:31:02.840 --> 0:31:05.080
<v Speaker 3>maybe I'll take the tram up to the rock. And

0:31:06.280 --> 0:31:06.760
<v Speaker 3>at least I.

0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:08.640
<v Speaker 5>Have not.

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 4>But I've always wanted.

0:31:09.840 --> 0:31:12.320
<v Speaker 3>I've always wanted to go. I was scheduled once or

0:31:12.360 --> 0:31:13.160
<v Speaker 3>twice to go and.

0:31:13.800 --> 0:31:15.320
<v Speaker 4>You know, surveillance road trip.

0:31:15.560 --> 0:31:19.040
<v Speaker 3>Yes, okay, so long ways away. I mean it's okay,
