The most important essay every morning in the earning season of Julian Emmanuel holding court at Evercore Isi with one Edward Hyman. Ed Hyman and we're threwed he could join us today, their chief equity quantitative strategists. Once again, you have outlined how we got earnings wrong. Do you believe we'll get earnings wrong quarter ending September thirty? We invariably do.
So we came into this season believing and again, look this is quite America. There is the baseline predicted earnings growth, and there's the surprise. We almost always surprise positively. I think in our view what happened was the market was actually surprised by what, in retrospect, is not that surprising. A surprise, tom So you're getting ten percent earnings growth.
But what's more interesting to us about this season is the degree of the stock price response has been unlike anything we've ever seen, both to the good and the bad, and frankly, it isn't that entirely dependent on the scope of what they report. A lot of this is positioning, but you've had moves just incredibly dramatic in both directions, and that points in our mind to a question about where we're going in terms of earnings next year within the context of the fact that bottoms up consensus is
looking for thirteen percent earnings in twenty twenty six. That's a bit too high in our opinion.
You don't bury the lead here with your most recent note near term, we think stocks are overvalued seven to fifteen percent pullback into an October low.
That's not consensus.
Well, so, I guess this goes back to the scars that we've had by being excessively bullish coming into labor day from time to time. That is almost always a strategy that runs into difficulty. But again it goes back to whether you think about it in the context of earnings expectations for twenty twenty six or you think about
it in terms of valuation. And to be clear, we're not at all time high valuations like the Y two K dot com bubble, but we're not far away, and in our mind, part of what's gone on this summer is really a belief that because we haven't seen a discrete drag in terms of growth to tariffs and discrete underpinning inflation, which we do believe we're going to get first evidence of this week with the CPI report, people are just you know, don't worry, be happy.
Let's go there right now. And bringing edheymen into it, you have this huge advantage of ed heymen and your economic apparatus at evercore is a are you modeling your equity market for a sustained three percent or dare I say a four figure inflation three percent? Three percent?
And if you think about it, right, what we have seen off of the trough in April, which I believe I was on with you all. We were pounding the table that you wanted to own it because we had seen capitulation of a degree which we had only ever seen at the trough of the financial crisis in nine.
Is that basically the difference between the recovery that we saw then and the recovery that we saw actually during the bear market that was briefly in nineteen ninety eight in the midst of the Internet revolution versus the AI revolution. Now the continued response where Nasdaq rose an additional over one hundred percent into the y two k bubble, It's not going to be like this this time because frankly, the Fed doesn't have the leeway to be as accommodative.
Even though we're expecting.
Is this the gloomy Emmanuel this morning?
It might be. It sounds realistic to me.
It just you know, we got scolded last week for calling it a melt up.
Do you think we experienced a melt up.
Over you know, this percent move off the bottom?
Oh?
Yeah, there's no question about the fact that if you measure it in terms of nothing more than public participation, the public has been driving this market in large degree. And you see that in you know, sort of an esoteric area of the world. Zero days the expiration option activity, the positions go on at nine point thirty. They expired four o'clock. That is accounting for upwards of sixty percent of the option activity.
So what are you doing now at the margin to purchase equity shares? Are you in evercore ISI on hold?
Now?
So basically what we're saying is you have to think long term. There's a certain slug investor that should just ignore what we expect to be the volatility in the next couple months. But if you're more active, what you're thinking about is a right sizing your AI exposure to accomplish long term. There's going to be continued our performance. But you want to hedge. You want to hedge with
lower valuation stocks with higher earnings revision type names. It's an element of safety that supportfolio and actually, if you think about it, enables.
You to be a buyer of Dipps.
There you go, there you go, as simple as that, Julian, Thank you so much. Julian McKiel. With this EVERCOREA, I can't we protect the copyright, folks. I'm not going to send out his three paragraph effort that he goes right every morning. His team does it, folks, to be honest, but it's exquisite on where are we in the earning season? It is the industry benchmark. He does that. Julian does that at Evercore is.

Joining us now deep in the summer, Lauren Seidelbaker, economist. It a we lover work out of Wellesley and Boston University. I'm going to audible right now. One of the greatest views of Mount Washington, likes spiritual nineteenth century is from the Conway North Conway area. Right, Yes, you go up there a lot, can I get there's bar in the woods. It's in the middle of nowhere. Right.
We have to get away from fed talk sometime. That's where I go.
This is on the New Hampshire border with Maine.
Correct, the White Mountains, the.
White Mountain, But it's a different White mountains than driving up the.
Interstates, you know, Washington Presidential Range. Yeah, it's a lovely place to hike.
It's great. When's the snow pull back? June?
Oh, there has been snow every month of the year, Washington.
Yes, okay, Well, great to have you here. Welcome ninety two nine FM up in Boston as well. We go up to montcatad and mill Knocket. Good morning, Laurence Seidelbaker. AI in its effect on our economy, do we understand our productivity? Do we understand what's going on in technology.
I don't think we have a full grasp yet. I think there's a lot more to be done with AI in productivity, we to date haven't really seen the games. We see the need right. We have a very tight labor market. We still have very critical skills gaps. But overall, I think we're still looking for those fits. I see a lot of companies doing the throw money at the problem approach to AI. They're telling their employees just use it somehow. I don't care how, but do something with AI.
It's not always the most effective. It's not always the most cost conscious way to use AI.
Lauren, I know in your research you work a lot with small, mid sized companies.
How are they.
Dealing with tariffs, trade uncertainty, maybe a little bit of inflation percolating out there, maybe a little bit of a slowing economy.
How are they seeing things?
More than anything? They're in a weight and see mode.
We see this just with uncertainty with tariffs, with every new policy that no one saw coming even a week ago. Everyone just wants to know what they're up against. But I'm getting the sense lately that that tide is turning. I think we almost have uncertainty fatigue. At some point you just.
Need to make for the show start there, Paul, So, Paul, I think this is a really really important point. Golden Sachs publishing this weekend with a three four five month rollout. So do you buy the gradual roll into tariff angst for our listeners and viewers or are you going to be a Lauren Seidelbaker optimistic?
I can't be an optimist. I am an economist. After all, those two are mutually exclusive.
But at the end of the day, we see businesses really making decisions despite even something like tax implications, right we talk about tax rates. We have found in our analysis that does not materially change business profitability over the long term, business investment over the long term. So it seems like the business world they have a sense of what.
They need to do.
They've been through the NBA programs, right, they know the theory behind it, and so it's just a matter of doing it. At some point, we've had a multi month uncertainty delay. We're starting to see the rubber meet the road.
How do you think the Federal Reserve is going to react to all this uncertainty? What are you guys thinking about that.
Really, I see inflation more than anything else being the key to siding factor. Labor market, as I mentioned, still tight, some cracks forming, but I still see general balance in the labor side of things. It's really the inflation side of the dual mandate where we are starting to get nervous. I think tariffs are taking much more time to feed through. So whether you believe tariffs are a one time step up in prices, we see other fundamental pressures. I don't
think tariffs are really going to come through. The data for between nine and eighteen months is on average how long it takes.
So we're not there yet.
The consumer, the consumer seems to be kind of hanging in there. I know there's a bifurcated sense of the consumer. You know, the mid to high end doing quite well, the lower and maybe struggling.
How do you thinking about the consumer?
All we can do is look at the median consumer. So you're right, there's a lot going on beneath the surface. If you own your home, if you're invested in equity markets versus if you are really feeling this pinch of inflation. Tariffs specifically they hit those lower income earners much more strongly.
That's just how the math works out.
But on median again, with a tight labor mark, more folks can get jobs. Yes, there might need to be some reskilling. There are some skills gaps that we still see, but overall, more people making more money.
Wages are still outpacing inflation.
We go to eco go, they go to the lord's sidele Baker. The CPI is a tickop. I mean basically a CPIX food and energy month over month. McKee looks at it. I don't point two to point three year over year two point seven to two point eight regular CPI two point nine to three point zero. I get the nudge up. Do you look at that as a linear function? Dare I say? Out there four percent top line CPI?
I think that is well within the range of possibility.
What is the outcome of that? Forget double major Wellesley Economics and religion. Yes, that means she went to Patriots, stay red Sox baseball. Okay, you're religion major from Wellesley? What is the political religion of this nation? The day we print four percent?
At that point, I think the Fed has their hands tied. I think we might see a couple more rate increases, call it twenty five maybe fifty basis points. I know I've been hearing talk of three cuts this year. I think that's going to be a tough reason.
Some people out there are talking, say you're not listening to show enough. Some people are talking seven rate cuts.
I've heard seven, and you're going to wait with you.
I love your optimism, seriously, folks. So she's here, But if we get Lauren's Sidelbaker optimism, we get four percent CPI what does that mean to our listeners and viewers? Besides, a grocery store is expensive.
I think you can't be waiting for rates to go back to the lows that they were just a few years ago. I see rates going up, not down, and again maybe a couple bumps in the road to get there.
But I really would be if.
You need to be doing borrowing or refinancing, now is the time to do it.
I'm not waiting to time.
The low for the sake unless you're very, very interest rate sensitive. The sake of twenty five maybe fifty basis points, what are you for going? What's the opportunity cost of that to risk timing that exact LFE.
I don't think it's worth it.
What's an unemployment rate that you think gets the Fed's attention here, because right.
Now you mentioned you know, good question.
The labor market's pretty solid, although it's maybe it's tougher to get a job than it was a couple of years ago, but generally most people who want jobs have their jobs.
Wages are growing three, four or five percent. What is your view of the labor market.
So one metric that I'm looking at even more than the unemployment rate, that's the balance between unemployed workers and job openings. That's one point zero four, so just a hair over one worker per available job opening. Now that balance, I think we are in balance.
It's just that both of those numbers are lower. There are relatively fewer job seekers right now.
We'll see that trend continue with negative net migration this year.
But we also have.
Fewer job openings as businesses they're just holding back, they're waiting. So that balance, I think on both sides we can be in balanced, even at lower levels. It's just easier to knock it out of balance.
Out on YouTube, a brilliant live chat. Thank you so much for this quote. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. I mean, that's really what this is about, isn't it. The rich you know, don't care three point eighty four percent, They're like whatever, just you know, by the avocados, I mean, it's a partition of the country. Right.
At some point, again, many more of the wage gains in the past couple of years had been concentrated at the lower end of the the real wage.
Negative here with what Paul Swooney's talking about, right, you know, higher inflation.
That's the risk.
We can only look at the media and I wish we had more granular data across the board, but on mediaan are our net consumers still doing better.
This has been great. Thank you for coming in from New Hampshire. Yeah really, you know, appreciate it.
Thank you for having us.
Well, they're up there, you know water When I was a kid, Oh, come on, Cannon Mountain, it's like the ice age. I almost lost a child. This is over in Vermont, folks. I literally had to hold on to the middle child at the top of Jpeak. It's like one hundred miles. It's not west. You gotta understand, Lauren Sweeney doesn't ski the east. Now he's so large, he's only doing Rocky Mountain High exactly.
I mean I grew up skiing all through New Hampshire, Vermont, Ocono's you know, shout.
Out No, that's where I saw my first I saw you at the Wobbley barat It was a few years ago.
Yep, got my first Wall Street Bonus check back in the day. Haven't been back to you since.
Lauren Seidelbaker, thank you so much. ITR Economics, New Hampshire.
This is the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. Listen live each weekday starting at seven am Eastern on Applecarplay and Android Auto with the Bloomberg Business app. You can also listen live on Amazon Alexa from our flagship New York station, Just say Alexa play Bloomberg eleven thirty.
Last night we had a meeting This is with Surveillance Senior executive producer Eric Mallow, Herder of Interns. Yep, it's his new title, Herder of Interns. And we had a list of people and at the top of the list on Putin Trump in Alaska was Angela's stent. Her book Putin's World is absolutely definitive. We are beyond honored to have a conversation this morning with Angela Stent. Angela, if you were in Alaska for this meeting, what would you listen for from the two?
Well, I'm listening to see what it is that Putin is proposing to President Trump. And so far it seems that, you know, Ukraine is supposed to seed territory to Russia that Russia doesn't even control and really not get very much in return, maybe a freezing of the Catalines. And with Trump, I'm listening to see does he really understand that Putin isn't willing to stop this war that he's being played. So those are the things that I would be listening to.
And I look, Angela at this, and of course in the Zeitgeist this morning is the build article in Germany that they got the translation run. Do we have the process and apparatus to prepare for Friday's meeting? I mean, do we have administration in place that can do this?
So so far it doesn't appear that we do. I mean, normally these kinds of summits are well prepared in advance, their experienced diplomats or involved in them. This is the result of, you know, a long conversation between Steve and Witkoff, not a diplomat, not an expert on Russia and Vladimo Putin. We don't know the contents of it, and so we are really left in the dark about what the process
is in this. And the concern is that President Trump will be there and then he doesn't have all the backing he needs and the understanding going into this about what prudent's actually trying to do.
What is the role, if any, for President Zelenski.
Well, so far, President Zelenski, of course, has been excluded from this. The US and Russia are talking about his own country. President Trump has spoken to him, He's in He's Zelenski's in very close contact with the Europeans. The Europeans are trying to impress on President Trump that he has to go into this clear eye and realistic about.
What Putin is trying to do.
But to think about two countries trading away another country's territory without that country being present, I think that theres a lot of thinking about.
Does President Putin have any intention to sign a ceasefire on Friday or even discussing it?
I very much doubt it.
I think what he's trying to do is to probe and see how much he can get from President Trump.
So I would not hold your breath on.
That, Angela. Get the drama. Max Putin writes it up in the Washington Post and others, And we don't need to do a history lesson in nineteen thirty eight Munich, where Neville Chamberlain gave away a piece of Czechoslovakia and look what happened. But do you see that moment here? I mean, these two world leaders, do we, Angela? Do we know where they're going to meet in Alaska? Yet?
I don't know what they're going to meet in Alaska? And it's interesting. So for Putin, all he has to do is fly over Russia. If he were to meet Trump in many other places, he probably couldn't because there are a lot of countries he can't fly over.
Because it's interesting. Interesting, So we.
Don't know, Okay, So maybe they're going to meet on those two islands. They can wave at each other across the bearing straight Angela's stent discuss what's in the zeitgeist this morning of illusions to two years before World War Two?
Well, I think you know two years before World War two?
If you think about Neville Chamberlain, I mean he was trying to postpone a war because you know, he and he believed that if he just gave Hitler what he wanted, which was, you know, talking about what was happening to the Zudatelane, then there wouldn't be a war.
I think we may still be at that point.
I think there's enough a full comprehension among the in the Trump administration that you know that from Putin. The subordination of Ukraine is the goal now, but it's the first step towards really retaking influence and land in what used to be the former Soviet Union. Putin has expansionist aims, and I think maybe in nineteen thirty eight mister Chamberlain didn't understand exactly what Hitler's expansionist aims were. So I
think people need to understand what this is about. And I'm sure that that's not fully appreciated in the White House.
Yet.
It seems, Angela that most world leaders around the world have bent their need to President Trump, whether it's on tariffs or other issues. That's not the case with mister Putin. Does he how do you think he've vieused President Trump and the administration.
Well, I think he.
Believes that mister Trump really wants to have a better relationship with Russia. Trump started out by saying we need to reset and improve relations. I think the Russians understand that there's inconsistency in the position of the Trump administration. They're going to push as far as they can. This is the old if you like Soviet style of negotiation. What's mine is mine and what is what's us as negotiable.
So I think they still believe that they can get President Trump to agree to terms that would be really very unfavorable for Ukraine and would give Russia most of what it wants.
Angel Ston, the cover of your book, Putin's World, folks, it was my book, I think I can't remember, Paul if it was Book of the Year, Book of the sor whatever. Read the book Putin's World, Angela Stent with a new chapter out now. Bill Burns, who has a little bit of experience at CIA, says Putin's World is a definitive guide to understanding the tangled history of post Cold War Russia and its place in the world. You
got a great photo on the cover, Angela. I'm sure you picked it out of the forty seven foot table with mister Putin sitting at one end, and I think mister mccaran said at the other end. That's not going to be Alaska. Is it going to be all smilies and you know, arm patting and all that. I mean, is it going to be touchy feely?
It may well be.
I mean, you've seen the pictures of mister Whitcoff and put mister Whitcoff putting his hand on his heart, smiling, shaking his hand. I don't know what President Trump will do, but it's not going to be this long table. So there will be smiles, at least for the public.
Azo you're not old enough to remember this. I remember when khrushchef took a shoe off and pounded in the UN. Have we treated Khrushchev or Bresnem or Stylin or dare I say Lenin? Have we treated them like the administration's treating mister Putin. It's absolutely original, isn't it.
Oh, it's completely original. No, we were very suspicious of them. They were communists. We knew that they were at least officially committed to taking over the world.
We were very wary with them.
Having said that, you know, Nixon and Brezhnev you know, did shake each other's hand. We're all smiles. Bren have visited the US, drove around in big cost so there was some of that. But this is a very different feel to what it was like impossible during the Cold War.
This is just it's like the new season is slow horses. I mean, mister Trump and mister Whitcoff and al should just watch slow horses. I mean, that's what the that's how they go prepared for.
So, Angela, is there a scenario here where I don't know, some kind of deal gets signed between Russia and President Trump, and if I'm a Ukraine I'm just sitting on the outside saying what do I do here?
I mean that is that eveninitely a scenario?
I mean the Russian goal is to sign and agree with President Trump it's favorable toward Russia and then blame the Ukrainians if it doesn't work out, because the Ukrainians are not going to sign onto a deal that status advantageous for them, and the Europeans are going to back them in this. So that's definitely a scenario that some deal is signed between the US and Russia, but in fact the Ukrainians won't accept it.
And just said one final serious question. Then this goes back to mister Gates and Condaliza Rice. I believe in Belgrade. I mean, I get it. There's territory in eastern Ukraine and they've got four acres of Russia. It comes back to the emotion of Crimea. Will that even be discussed at this meeting about the sheer reality of Crimea on the Black Sea?
I don't know whether it'll be discussed, but it really doesn't seem to be an issue. I mean, I think the Trump administration is assuming that the Ukrainians can't do anything about the annexation of Crimea, and that they will at least day facto.
I have to recognize, what do you need from Secretary Rubio?
Well, I think Secretary Rubio needs to, you know, to make sure that concessions are not made to Putin that are not warranted. He seems to he I think, understands the situation pretty well. He was previously at least a hawk on Russia, so he needs to somehow be a restraining factor in.
This wonderful This was great. Paul Angelas Stin, thank you so much. On Putin's World, we begin our coverage of this historic summit meeting. It is scheduled for Friday. David Girl will join us later in the show this morning to provide further briefing. It is a story on a move to say the least.

Jeffrey Meacham joins now from City Group with an acclaimed career. Counting the free cash flow of healthcare. How much in a value trap is a healthcare sector right now? Jeffrey, it's pretty bad.
I would say, I think the main catalyst is getting over this policy of worry. But for sure, though these companies and large cap pharma, you know, devices, services, et cetera, are generating a ton of cash. You're totally right, But we just have to get through the you know, the policy over hanks that you know that been prevalent pretty much all year.
Full disclosure, folks. They have a huge bias to Eli Lilly. Some of the FAMI is from Indiana and we're original shareholders back you know when the covered wagons were there. ELI Lilly last ten years twenty six zero point ninety seven five percent per year. What, Yes, Eli Lilly is a mag seven performance Jeffrey Meacham. It's tanked the last twelve months down whatever huge amount down? Is this the by opportunity of a lifetime in the giant of Indianapolis. I really do think so.
I mean, honestly, if you look at the past week, let's just let's just go back there. The second quarter was, you know, was fantastic. We didn't see as much or we really saw no resilience, but not as many issues as Novo had for sure. In fact, you know they're gaining share, you know, growth rate raising, guidance, growth rate higher.
I think the one you know, kind of negative surprise was the orphiklepron data the oral GLP one and you know that's what happens when you have a higher multiple stock, you know, and people expect, you know, twelve fifteen percent weight loss and it's literally only eleven. So that's a massive overcorrection, right that I think is completely ridiculous. We're going to look back in about a year from now when this drug launches and you know it's several billion in the first month.
That laugh at this, I suspect, Paul, do you see that for Bloomberg Radio? You're missing this moment On YouTube you can observe it. Mister Meacham has the gold trim behind him. Sure in his YouTube video shot. Just like the isn't it? Just like it's like, you know, the whole, the whole houses.
Styles and new styles.
Jeffrey, can you summarize what the regulatory or policy overhang is for healthcare right at the moment and how you think it might play out?
Yeah, I think the first thing is m f N, Right, So m f N is a situation where you know, most favored nation where there has to be delineation of pricing, how US compares the o U S pricing And it's complicated, and I think at the end of the day, Trump just wants to have a win where the US pharma companies get higher prices from you know, from Europe. So how that's going to take form, I think it's it's
really not clear at this point. The second thing is pharma tariffs, and that's a lot more simple, and that just is justifying you know, companies bringing on board new manufacturing sites, et cetera. And that I think is you know, more likely to be resolved I think by the end of the year. And you know, and as Trump has said in the past, it's been a bit of a weight in right. You have like essentially, you know, twelve eighteen, twenty four months to bring those manufacturing plants you know,
and facilities here to the US. And then the last one it's a little bit more nebulous. I'm not sure about PBM reform. That's that affects the industry indirectly. And the other piece is just looking at things like you know, vaccines and how that you know that policy is going to play out. So it's mostly BARMA tariffs and MFN has been the biggest overhang.
Does any of that result in lower drug prices for US consumers?
I suspect it will.
But the one so, the one angle in MFN is is a consumer base, you know, and this is what Trump has mentioned. It's actually pretty insightful if you look at the you know, the US in drug industry, it's mostly been just like Europe, it's been paid for by medicare or you know, private insurance or corporate insurance. A drug like Warford glipbarm for obesity is perfect for this, right if you think about, you know, how much out
of pocket is it worth to you? You know, And so that's something where Trump is trying to evolve the consumer angle into this, and I think I think that's a smart strategy. And every company we've talked to in major pharma this quarter has talked about Yeah that we're trying to figure out how that would play out, but I think that would if you if you carve out the PBM industry, you know, they you know, up charge I don't know, eight ten, fifteen percent in some cases
maybe more. That could save the US you know, consumer a ton.
Jeffrey, do you have a single best buyke? We talked Lily, but is there a Jeffrey Meacham single best buy right now? I would say Lily.
Lily in Vertex of the two that we've liked, and both have been really shelled and asked stuff that was a month or so. But Vertex is one where you know, look, they have assistant Vibrosa's business which is you know, which is legendary. I mean it's fifteen billion peak potential, you know, very high margin, but they need an Encore and they've struggled with that, and they have a pain franchise, they have a sickle cell cell therapy.
All that.
It's all tracking, but no one's worried about the underlying based business right and yet the multiple again has come in a ton. But those two are the best growers I think in large cat therapeutics.
This has been a pleasure. Jeffrey Mentium, thank you so much for City Group.
This is the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. Listen live each weekday starting at seven am Eastern on Applecarplay and Android Auto with the Bloomberg Business app. You can also listen live on Amazon Alexa from our flagship New York station, Just say Alexa play Bloomberg eleven thirty.
The newspapers is actually worked all weekend on this. I mean, it's just amazing. I mean she goes twenty four to seven to prepare for this. The newspapers would Lisa, and the Monday edition.
The Monday edition.
Okay, so I'm not sure if either you ever received a ticket in the mail for speeding or those red light cameras I hacking.
My vespa inappropriately at the beach, got it in the mail?
What I the spot that was not a dedicated parking spot. Boom spring lay hit me up for fifty five big ones.
Oh my god, yeah, are you going to go to court?
No, but a woman says she doesn't pay her tickets. She says there's no sign. It says I can't pay. I can't park here, so I'm not going to pay.
Well, that's the thing. So people are getting mail tickets right. I don't know if you get one for the Vesta for the noise, because it's not a noisy. It's not like a Harley or anything like that. But there are some noise cameras that are giving people and sending them in the mail, you know, just like the red light, just like the speeding tickets that I've.
Gotten to from that. So they're starting to go up.
Tickets can range anywhere from fifty dollars all the way to eight hundred dollars. People are getting tickets for these noises. And we're talking about loud. Is it coming from it right? The revving engines, the mufflers that people make on purpose to beat.
Up the sound.
It comes from the municipality. So there are noise cameras that are out there and they're tracking as cars go by to see how loud their car is, and if it's over a certain decipel you.
Will get a ticket in the mail.
And people are getting these.
I mean especially Newport Rhode Island is a big spot because people are saying, who live there. The tourists come in and they're making all this racket and we don't want it anymore. But New York City is actually the number one noise camera at the center. I wasn't aware of this, but they're fine. Started at eight hundred dollars, they've already issued more than twenty five hundred tickets since twenty twenty one, so they're really really sending this out. But like you said, people aren't paid.
I like the signs in New York City to say don't honk your horn, and you hear it all the time.
But that's another reason for the noise thing, is the honking the horn. So this is becoming more of an issue. Okay, So this one is in Lucashaw's screen Time newsletter. So we've been talking about, Yeah, how a lot of more sports are are entering the streaming market, right, So so he took a look into why Amazon, Apple, Netflix, YouTube
are kind of capitalizing on it. He said, the problem is that leagues are looking for these bigger paydays right because they're the only kind of entertainment program that can pull in these live audiences. But their partners, which are broadcast in cable networks, traditional partners, they've shrunk, traditional media companies like Disney, Paramount, Global, Warner Brothers, they can they
have a limit on how much they can spend. So in order to get these big payouts that they want, they're going to have to divide the rights among like a different and a wider.
