It's unclear 93 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: how future data requests may apply to the US and 94 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: European customers, although the company will inform users if any 95 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: other information is handed over to authorities.

Mike John Tucker, thank you very much, well, 109 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: as you no doubt know by now, Hillary Clinton and 110 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump won the New York primaries. The narrative now 111 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,679 Speaker 1: is that both of them are favorites for nomination by 112 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: their parties. Which leads me to wonder why this is 113 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: something of an Alfred E. Newman market. Remember Mad magazine, 114 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: Tom ALFREDY Newman? What me worry? Uh, You've got Hillary Clinton, 115 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: who is talking about bashing Wall Street and not supporting 116 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: free trade initiatives. And you've got Donald Trump, whose economic 117 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: proposals you can't even categorize because they're all over the place. 118 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: They make absolutely no sense at all. Letb. Cantrill is 119 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: executive vice president at PIMCO, and her job is to 120 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: track what's going on in the political world, and I'm 121 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: just wondering why that none of this is reflected it 122 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: seems in the markets. What me worry? You have? Right? 123 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: I know, the markets have been impervious really to date 124 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: um during this really unconventional election cycle. Now that might 125 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: change as we get closer to the convention and depending 126 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: especially on the Republican side, If no one candidate has 127 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: the simple majority of delegates going into the convention to 128 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: to win the nomination um, so a broker convention and 129 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: contested convention environment, we don't know so know how the 130 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: market will react. But yeah, to date, the market has 131 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: been pretty insensitive to all of this. Does it suggest 132 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: that maybe Washington has taken itself out as as as 133 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: a factor affecting investment. I mean, it may not be helping, 134 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: but nobody thinks it can hurt because they don't do anything. 135 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: Uh possibly, I think more more realistically, it's just people 136 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: who don't know what to make of this right now. 137 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: And I think once we once there are the nominees 138 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: are in place, um, once we get closer to to 139 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: the general election, once we have a better understanding what 140 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: Congress may look like in sev I think the markets 141 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: will likely focus more on this. But until now, I 142 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: don't I don't know why, you know, I think they're 143 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: just they're they're viewing this as noise instead of rightfully. 144 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: So at this point, Congressman King of New York brought 145 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: into stark reality in the lasts, the divides in the 146 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: Washington you cover. I'm fascinated by, I guess in general 147 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: Senate House dynamics, but particularly Republican Senate now House dynamics. 148 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: It could be a fly on the wall, must be something. Yeah, 149 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: you know, I think there was there was a lot 150 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: of hope on obviously on on the House side, especially 151 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: when Speaker Ryan came in and you to his credit, 152 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: and I'm not going to be an apologist for Washington 153 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: in action, but to his credit, he actually has done 154 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: some things that haven't really been reported. You know, he 155 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: passed the budget deal at the end of the last year. 156 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: He passed a five year highway bill, he passed a 157 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: Texas tax extenders bill, all which were signed into law. 158 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: So to sort of characterize this, Washington has absolutely do nothings, 159 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: probably not accurate. But the last couple of months, you know, 160 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: you've seen him challenging UM in terms of Puerto ric 161 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: passing puert Rico legislation, in terms of trying to get 162 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: a budget done. You know, he is dealing with the 163 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: realities of a very um kind of fractious caucus. And 164 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: if Paul Ryan honestly can't unite the House of Representatives 165 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: on the Republican side, I don't know. I don't know 166 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: who can. Some have suggested it could get worse for 167 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: him because moderates may be defeated in the election if 168 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 1: the if Trump is the nominee. Yeah, yeah, I think 169 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: that there is a there's a scenario where people vote 170 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: kind of down ballot, right, So if there's a big 171 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: turnout on the Democratic side to defeat Trump, UM and 172 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: folks and vote kind of down ballot for their senator 173 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: and from member of Congress, then that could be challenging. 174 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: You know, realistically, though the Republicans have the greatest majority 175 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: in the House since the Depression era, it's very difficult 176 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: to conceive a scenario in which the House swings Republicans 177 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,599 Speaker 1: at this point. Um, just given congressional redistricting, given that 178 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: there's not many swing districts on the House side. UM, 179 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: So that is a it's possible, I would say at 180 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: this point it's it's still not probable though, but Ryan 181 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: will definitely be dealing with a more narrow majority next 182 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 1: to le cantroll with us with Pimco, will come back 183 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: and continuous discussion the dynamics of uh Washington, Mike, are 184 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: we Denver Broncos free today or never?

Let me cancel with us with Pimcole Libby. 224 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: I know, I know Mike's got a couple of themes 225 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: to UH had to hear just if I could quickly 226 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: the Republicans in Washington, if they have to get ready 227 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: for a Clinton presidency, how do they do that? I mean, 228 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: what is There's been very little discussion actually of what 229 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: a Clinton presidency would look like. Yeah, it's a it's 230 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: a really good question, and I think you could envision 231 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: some two scenarios. One scenario resembles the one that we've seen, 232 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: UM in terms of their strategy with Obama, in terms 233 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: of just trying to obstruct and trying to pass symbolic 234 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: lying uh legislation knowing that it would be vetoed by 235 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: the President. The other scenario is that, um, you know, 236 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: they actually want to partner with Clinton, and this will 237 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: this will be predicated on how much she reaches across 238 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: the aisle. I I'm a little bit more optimistic in 239 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: terms of the way that she interacts with Congress. I 240 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 1: think you'll see her trying to establish deeper relationships both 241 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: within her own party and on the other side of 242 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: the aisle in Congress. And if she does that and 243 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: you know her um, and she's welcome, then you can 244 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: actually see maybe a more productive Washington in two seventeen. 245 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: But um, you know, You're right, there hasn't been a 246 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: lot of strategy or discussion about that so far. Honestly, 247 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: they're just trying to figure out who their nominee is 248 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: going to be. Well, let's, uh, let's talk about what 249 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: could be done. We might as well be ridiculously optimistic here. 250 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: What's the top one or two things that business and 251 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: uh Wall Street would like to see accomplished? Well, um, 252 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: that might be different from what is most probably you're 253 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: going to get done. I mean, I think that if 254 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: you look at the issue areas that you Clinton has 255 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: has values a part of her platform. If she wants 256 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: to see, you know, more spending on infrastructure, and I 257 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: actually think that again, in it's more kind of Pollyannish 258 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: optimistic scenario, you could see her trying to trade a 259 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: big infrastructure bill for maybe corporate tax reform, so she 260 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: gets increased spending, uh, you know, which some of the 261 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: Republicans might be low to do. But in exchange, she 262 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: actually gives on corporate tax reform. And I think that 263 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: would be welcomed by the markets. I think Wall Street 264 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: would welcome that as well as a as a sign 265 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: that there is some functioning in Washington. When you say 266 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: corporate tax reform, what would it look like? Well, that's 267 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: you know, that's the big question mark obviously, and there's 268 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: lots of details. And this is you know, tax reform 269 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: just in general. I always characterize it as the unicorn 270 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: on on capital helps. Everyone likes to talk about it, 271 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: but it's you know, kind of mythical. UM. But I 272 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: think that if you were you're talking about just corporate 273 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: tax reform and individual tax reform, you could see something 274 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: on repeat creation. I guess the question would be, you know, 275 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: what what what rate people are allowed that corporations are 276 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: allowed to repeatreate? UM? There there foreign cash UM. But 277 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: a lot of the details obviously remain to be seen. 278 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: There's some work and the ways of means right now 279 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: and also in the Senate Finance Committee UM trying to 280 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: lay the foundation for a corporate for corporation And this 281 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: is this is maybe the wrong question to ask. And 282 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: if your attorneys at Pimical say this is not appropriate, 283 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: speak up. We don't want to be rude to one. L. Cantrell. 284 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: The basic idea here of a Republican party that has 285 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: to re form and move on from Reagan mythology to 286 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: a new Republican party. Do you see that within the 287 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: hotel lobbies and meeting rooms in your Washington Yeah, I 288 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: mean I think that there are definitely discussions of that 289 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: in kind of the back you know, the back rooms. 290 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: And honestly, if you look at what the twelve twelve 291 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: Atopsy report after Mitt Romney law so big in it 292 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: was questioning that that Republican orthodoxy, right, it was also 293 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: really encouraging Republicans to embrace things like immigration reform, trying 294 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: to reach out to women, to minorities. We haven't really 295 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: seen that necessarily, right, you know, right now. So if 296 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: they lose big again in twos sixteen, I think you 297 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: could see them returning to those principles and reevaluating some 298 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: of the sort of regular orthodoxy that they've held in 299 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: such kind of long stead for for so long. Well, 300 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: there is a view that perhaps what we're seeing now 301 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: from the Trump Eastas is what the Republican Party will be, 302 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: and the Republicans will no longer be the party of business. Yeah, 303 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's difficult to take that 304 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: leap um, you know, honestly, and except for New York, 305 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: Trump actually hasn't won any primary more than fifty percent 306 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: and he is definitely benefited from a very crowded Republican field. 307 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: So I think to sort of extrapolate too much about 308 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: what is going on right now with Trump supporters and 309 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 1: extract broughting that to the entire Republican Party is a 310 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: little bit too much of a leap. But yes, there 311 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: is definitely a contingency in the Republican Party that feels 312 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: left behind by this recovery, and Republicans are going to 313 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: have to address that in what about immigration reformed? The 314 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: third rail for the Republicans right now? But business would 315 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: like to see that, Yeah, they would. And honestly, you 316 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: just look at and we've talked about this before on 317 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: your show. You just look at the electoral map in 318 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: the general election and the swing states that are likely 319 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: to determine the presidency, the Colorados, the Nevadas, the Virginia's 320 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: in north line is I mean immigration and that our 321 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: demographics are changing so much in that in those states 322 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: that if I would say, if Republicans want to win 323 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: national elections, they need to broaden their base much more 324 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: so than they have indication of that come out of convention. 325 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,479 Speaker 1: They have I mean every candidate by definition, even with 326 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: respect to Mr Trump moves to the middle. The heart 327 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: of the matter is the formation, frankly, of both parties 328 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: around a different America than we all grew up. And 329 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: everybody in this room, you know an ex number of years, 330 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: is a minority in America. We all know that. And 331 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: within a broad spectrum melting pot of America. Where's the 332 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: Republican Party November December of this year. Yeah, I mean, 333 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: I think I don't think you're going to see this 334 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: pivot this cycle. But again, if they lose big in um, 335 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: which some people are prognosticating that they would do, if 336 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: Trump or the nominee, they're they're going to have to 337 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: broaden the base and change, you know, and change their rhetoric. Honestly, Uh, 338 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: they just what has worked for them so so well 339 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 1: over the last forty years is not going to work well. 340 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: And the in the next forty years. What is what 341 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: happens to Wall Street? Donald Trump of has has been 342 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: bashing uh, Wall Street right and left. Now, as you say, 343 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: he's probably gonna lose big. But Hillary Clinton has been 344 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: bashing Wall Street in response to Bernie Sanders. But she 345 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: did represent Wall Street in the Senate for years. So 346 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: is the best case scenario, maybe from her benign neglect 347 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: if she were like, yeah, and honestly, if you look 348 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 1: at her platform, and yeah, obviously she's had to sort 349 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: of go more, probably farther to the left than maybe 350 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: even she wanted to. But if you actually look at 351 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: her policy platform around Wall Street first, so much of 352 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: what she proposes happening would have to have congressional approval, 353 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: and that looks unlikely in a split Congress if Republicans 354 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: were to hold the or to hold the House in 355 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: sev But other than that, it's it's relatively benign, especially 356 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 1: compared to Sanders, who you know, his rhetoric is break 357 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: up the big banks, which he actually doesn't want to 358 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: have authority to do. Uh. But um, but so I 359 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: think it's it's relatively it's it's more benign than maybe 360 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: what has been characterized in the press. And I think 361 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: that's all you would see. And under a Clinton administration, 362 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: what about uh, just the current track that we're on, 363 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: leave aside the next president, but under Dodd Frank uh 364 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: and under the regulatory regime that the Federal Reserve and 365 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: the fd i C and others are following, where does 366 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: Wall Street to end up as a as a utility 367 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: or yeah, I don't think it's gonna be quite that extreme. 368 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: But you know clearly, and you're seeing this with the 369 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: bank's earnings reports that you know, regulation is absolutely affecting 370 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: the bank's business models here, and it is from our perspective. 371 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: You know, as market participants, it's impacted liquidity and it's 372 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: impacted their ability to make markets because of the capital requirements. 373 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: But you're seeing smaller banks, less leverage banks probably better 374 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 1: for the whole financial system at large in terms of 375 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: safety and soundness, but yes, they're grappling with a different 376 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: business mile going forward because of regulation. We have to 377 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: ask because of course around the country people listen to 378 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: Libby Cantell and want to know what's happening on Wall 379 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: Street and what's happening in Washington. But in Denver everybody 380 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: asks you about the football team. So we have to 381 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: ask before you go, who's under center for the Broncos 382 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: when they open this season against Now we were just 383 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: talking about that. Oh my god, my guess is as 384 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: good as yours, Mike. You know, I really don't know. 385 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: We I am still just basking in the glow of 386 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: our Super Bowl victory and that is what I'm going 387 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: to focus on. And I also think that's still defense 388 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: can as we've seen, and it can win games. So 389 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: the defense. Look first of all in New York, no 390 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: one's focused on the quarterback of Denver. They're looking at 391 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: Mr Strayhan moving from Kelly over the Good Morning America. 392 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what matters. Enlighten us that don't care, Mike. 393 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: Who are the candidates to take over for st right now? 394 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: The only one they have is basically Mark. Mark Hench 395 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: has the you know, the former Jet they have, here's 396 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: a third string quarterback, and then they're they're in the market. 397 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: So if if you get tired of hosting surveillance and 398 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: you would like to play quarterback, you're certainly tall enough 399 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: for comedy lightness, folks. Sometime watch me throw a football. 400 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: There's never been a correct throw. Livy Cantroll with Pimco, 401 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: thank you for the brief and economics finance investment on 402 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos.
