Now, shall we move on? To perhaps the Nairobi trio. Which was a great comedy sketch that Ernie Kovacs performed many, many times for his television shows. And it was the same concepts, but done in different ways. And the staple was people in gorilla suits, obviously. And but the interesting interesting thing about it was the slow burn of one character being annoyed by another resulting in retaliation. And all those ingredients combined with the timing that only Kovacs had produced a great deal. It was a live action version of a child animatronic wind up music box. Now, the music was solve Gio. And we're going to get to that. But first, again, I can play you one of the Nairobi trios deals, but some of it anyway, not all of it. But it's a visual.

In San Francisco, Ahmed Baxter, this is Bloomberg, art rich. All right, let's get back to the half hour, and we're still freaking out. Should we come out? President of srikumar, global strategies. She thanks an officer to stick around. Let's have a look at a bit more on inflation here. This time next year, some of that inflation will dissipate you to base effects, but also let's just also just take a look at the not the nature of this inflation, but the basket of inflation how it's measured. That has got some question marks raised about. It hasn't it? Yeah, it has raised question marks and I have raised some of those questions myself. I do not like the Federal Reserve looking at the personal consumption expenditure deflator. I think the reason they are using it is because it is for a long time being trading at a pace much slower than the consumer price index. I think the consumer price index is what should be used. It's what we use in the United States for indexing social security payments, other retirement related payments. So I don't know why they picked new index and what the justification is. Second, I think they should use the headline index, which includes food and energy and the fed likes to use the figure without the food and energy. Now, if I were to spend on my consumer basket rich, I can not live without food and fuel, I can't just make believe as if I'm spending only on the other commodities. So I think it's very important to have a comprehensive set of goods to measure rather than artificially choose indexes, which will show the fed or the US Treasury in better light. Yeah, I mean, Larry summers made the point that if you look at the inflation now, it's really almost the same level with adjustments made on the methodologies as what we saw Paul Volcker deal with back in 79 80 81 when he absolutely crushed inflation with jacking up interest rates like 1819 percent. So you probably find a lot of resonance with that point. The thing is, though, we don't have that much time, but the thing is is that I think Janet Yellen and J pal are trying to be real. And they're saying, look, there's only a certain amount we can do about supply chain constrictions and the war in Ukraine. Should they ditch that argument? And should they say, pound the table, we will be inflation. That's it. We will beat it. They should not say that. They shouldn't be pounding the table Brian, but the problem is a year ago, power and Yellen behaved as if they were the masters of the universe. There was nothing that could go wrong under the leadership. Well, that's a year ago. I'm saying now. But you can not switch. You need to be aware of it. I was writing then that inflation is going to be permanent and sustained. And I had to deal with Jerome Powell, who kept insisting it was transitory and clients say, well, you say that it is going to be permanent, but the chairman of the Federal Reserve says otherwise. So they were in a point their horse saying they knew it, Janet Yellen said bigger is better and she should have anticipated that something extraneous will happen. You can not do monetary and fiscal policy assuming the global situation will be very favorable to you at all times. Right, let's get very quick also to how this impacts strategy there at the moment as well, looking at equity valuations given the outlook right now and what do you buy? I mean, how much is now credit quality going to be hugely important? Absolutely rich. And I would add to it that you asked about asset allocation today. And we are going into a stagflation if we are not already in one. That means you have as Brian said before 1979 to 81 type situation in inflation, combined with the recession. So because of that, the recession makes equities a bad deal and the inflation makes your bonds a bad deal. So what do you do? You have to look at alternative assets. You have to look at medium term investments. So you have to behave very differently in a stagflation than just look at your typical 60 40 portfolio. So you don't like you don't see value in the two year at 3.2%. No, I think the two year is going to go up significantly more, probably because the two year will tell you that the fed is going to over tighten, which I think it will. And as it does the two year two year yield

"So that if you could see the implications in the military for this. You could see how you need it soldiers to be able to transfer them into the battleground. ASAP. So, but the problem with needle casting is there's only a certain amount of time so you can needle cast before there's a degradation of the data. It's kind of like, you know, when you copy music and then you make a copy of the copy and a copy of the copy. Right. Would actually need a custody technically not a copy. But just the fact that you're transferring kind of like when you do file through the Internet, there's bits that eventually you might download something that is corrupted. And that's what's happened to it has happened to me. Sometimes you just redownload it. So what happens is there's a certain amount of times that you can needle cast before your becoming sane. You eventually become the same. So they put this rule that you can't, you know, do it an X amount of times. I can't remember what the actual number was. However, in boys, we're trained, and designed to have basically an unlimited amount of middle casting time. And that's what made them in this show the perfect soldiers. Because they could be transported into a new body and be battle ready and two seconds. And you could see that from the very beginning, when takeshi Kovacs gets into the new body, he almost kills the doctor that has been because these battle ready immediately. Right, right. So I don't know, and again, and maybe because I'm overthinking things. So going back to the question, I like his journey. And how he is always discovering things are not what they are, but again, I don't know if that's his journey or because of the needle casting, because he has, I couldn't tell you, I don't think it was even explained how many times..

"Maybe can stop by talking through the original idea behind kovacs and i guess it'd be what kovacs ease if people haven't heard of it. How was it intended to work. Sure absolutely so kovacs as the concept was intended to be a leveler leveling mechanism essentially a kind of offer one one crawl approach to the pandemic and so the idea was that wealthy countries poor countries and all the countries in between could pool their procurement of vaccines with the understanding. That vaccines were going to be in high demand. Demand was going to outstrip supply and for at least the first year probably longer and so to avoid a situation where so wealthy countries huddle of the resources that control them and poor countries. Didn't the idea behind kovacs was look. Let's understand we are all in this together and let's take that approach to purchasing and distributing vaccines and so the idea was all the countries would come together. Most countries would fund their own participation in kovacs they would buy the vaccines through kovacs and the poorest countries would receive the vaccines for twenty percent of the population at no charge. Kovacs would be a pooled procure so they would go to the vaccine makers negotiate these very large deals and then they would distribute the vaccines two countries equitably per capita. Why only twenty percent. i mean. obviously it's better than zero but it's also nowhere ne- herd immunity. That's exactly right actually. And this is one of the key problems that we've run into. Is that twenty percent and now we look back and we can see. Actually twenty percent was probably quite an ambitious target. We haven't actually managed to meet it. It's hard to criticize them for stopping at twenty percent. We haven't even gotten there yet. But but that's right so twenty percent was never ever going to solve the problem. It was really intended to ensure that the most vulnerable populations did get covered covered quickly and that would reduce mortality. So that was the that was the initial goal. So so you alluded to it there. You you're saying kovacs hasn't even managed to deliver that kind of inadequate twenty percent that it set out to. How has it played out. Well it's it's really really struggled actually so it's been much slower to deliver the vaccines than it expected. So they've been slow to purchase vaccines slow to receive vaccines and then. The vast majority of their twenty twenty one supply was intended to come from the serum institute in india and when india put export restrictions into place when they had a acute crisis there. That really devastated. Coolmax is twenty twenty one supply. They've.

Earlier this month, Secretary of State Antony Blinken spelled it out. Even if we vaccinate all 332 million people, the United States tomorrow way would still not be fully safe from the virus. Not while it's still replicating around the world and turning into new variants. That could easily come here and spread across our communities again.

Flash Tom and Paul Karin, Thanks to that wonderful day to check right now, Gamestop Moonshot short term to 50. 2 to 93 it straight up. Just scream short cover right now. We'll get back to that in a moment on the pandemic, its effect on our lives the nuances of present Lauren sour of the Johns Hopkins University. I think there is and not just the scientific community but also the global health community. We have programs like Kovacs, for example. Where were the focus is really equitable distribution across the globe, and I think this sort of spat highlights the challenges with equitable distribution, so countries with more resources are able to support vaccine development, vaccine production, even vaccine distribution. But that has to be supported. You know broadly across the globe to make sure that lower resource countries also get access to the vaccine because we are not safe until everyone begins to get vaccinated on dis this fight between That you and you can and AstraZeneca just highlights the enormous complexities of following through with the initial commitments when the vaccine was just an idea or an unknown. Look, as far as we understand. I know these air commercial commitments is they're trying to do is as best they can. What are the challenges and actually making the vaccine so you need to make you know the actual vaccine. So let's call it the formula, and then you need to produce the vials and then put those two together. Yeah, the complexities of the supply chain and particularly when you add in that edition of cold chain storage are really enormous. And so you have to have companies making their own products of the formula like you called it. And, actually, yesterday, we saw Um, unbelievable. It's the first step of a collaboration between Central Free and advisor to begin producing Preiser vaccine with Sanofi support. So companies are working towards better production of the actual material for the vaccine. And then you know, we're see. We saw shortage of vials were seeing shortages of needles. We are. We are needing to put a lot of focus on all those additional pieces that go into distribution. Even earlier this year, we had a freezer shortages as people were ramping up to have tea receive shipments of the visor vaccine. So all these pieces go into huge challenges when you're thinking of the global supply chain for vaccine. Learn how quickly can actually vaccine distribution and administration be ramped up. Tohno set some of the goals that we thought we would need to be at in the U. S. But also elsewhere in the world. I think it's already happening. I mean, I think we're seeing companies commit to ramping up their production almost exponentially. And so the focus really has to be on making sure that the the places that are gonna be receiving vaccine have a plan to distribute. Because as we've seen in the U. S, and Really everywhere else. That is. One of the biggest challenges is having a a a space where people who are ready to receive the vaccine who fall into the various tears know how to sign up. Know what information they need Nowhere to go and what time to be there understand the commitment of agreeing to get the vaccine because some of the biggest challenges are if someone agrees to get, for example, the visor vaccine and they don't show you have a very, very short window to use that vaccine on someone else because it's already been two frosted and prepared for vaccination. S o. The scale Upon the production side. It's usually important, but we have to be ready to receive it in the community and and across the public health entities.

I think they did hear talk soon. I'm sure will be the most Rex story in a Bloomberg terminal in just moments talking about Bank of America, you know, they had a bonus plan, where, among other things, has to be more stock longer, Vesting less cash. If you were close to retirement, you would get even less of your 2020 bonus because presumably, you're going to have retirement benefits coming. They pull back on a lot of some of those things. Some of those things, Tom, some of the bankers and some of the traders, apparently on the senior end of the special kind of pushing back here, But you know, it's it continues a trend, Tom Since the financial crisis where these banks are very, very Um, you know, they're very cognitive of how it looks to the public in terms of compensation here and boy, if it's of your shell game they're coming out with Don't you feel you were like all innit, changing compensation?

But you know, one of the things that's really changed time since you and I are on Wall Street is You know, it's much more of your total compensation is fixed salary and a smaller percentage is that bonus my day? It was 80% bonus or me, or versus your calories. So that bonus time was really me swinging at a salary of 35,000.

You get like 607 108 $100,000 bonus. Much of that going to the government. I'd point out in the new day. Well, maybe you're all in compensation is 300 or 400. Paula's you say.

Now, having said that we open up the show the first hour of the show with a conversation about James Harden, and we had a lot of people on the phone lines, folks who have a lot of opinions on the man. Last night. We had this discussion after he basically went nuclear on the team You know they lose to the Los Angeles Lakers won 17 to 100 a second consecutive loss to the Lakers. James Harden basically quit on the franchise and then after the game after the loss, where he on Lee scores 16 points This is what he had to say. Just not good enough. Um, you know, we just don't know. Of chemistry telling lies just Everything and it was clear. Um, like I said these last few games. Um, they just from the beginning of the game. We just aggressive vent, veteran team obviously championship team and you know, one of the best things that we have in this league. Um, you know, I love this city literally. No, I've done everything that I can You know, I mean, this situation was it was crazy. It was something that I don't think you'd be fixed. So, um Yeah, thanks. Okay? DaMarcus cousins. What is the market's cousins? Think about what he said last night? Listen to to Marcus. Disrespect started way before you know any interview, Um Just that approach to training camp. Showing off the way did the answers off the court. I mean disrespect started way before. So this isn't something that you know. All of a sudden, haven't you know last night when he could feel, however, he wants to feel with the organization or whatever His current situation is, but Other 14 guys in the locker room have done nothing to him. So Wants to be on the receiving end of some of the you know, disrespectful comments and antics is completely unfair to us. Well, they don't got to worry about it anymore. James Harden's been in Houston for the past eight years, DaMarcus Cousins and John Wall. They just showed up and James Harden hit the nuclear button. You had a bad attitude. He made it clear that he wanted to go. And now he is heading to the Brooklyn Nets. Now, James Harden will be teamed up with Carrie Irving. Whoever the hell he is that whenever he returns And Kevin Durant. And yes, the team they lose some depth. They send plenty of picks for the next six years or the option to swap picks. So the Houston Rockets carousel avert is gone. He gets flipped upto the Pacers are Victor Oladipo goes to Houston. Jared Allen is gone from the Nets. He is now a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers. And that's no that they're not. So they're not so deep anymore. Spencer did what he was already out with a Tauron A CL Joe Harris is still there. Jeff Green. It's not saying a whole lot, but Jeff Green is there. Kabarole was there. I think he's an underrated player. Bruce Brown has shown in spots that that he could be serviceable. And so when you look at these three superstars on Brooklyn right now, Hard and Durant Irving, their contracts run parallel. They're going to be nets this year next year. They have opt outs for third season and I think if they're healthy, there should be no reason why the squad doesn't win a title. We had a lot of callers last hour. Whether it bull down to T ego or James Harden doesn't show up in the playoffs or he plays so many minutes or he needs the ball. Throw that out the window. This is a different team. It's easy to look at what he's done for the past eight years and automatically just plug it right into Brooklyn. That's that's not going to be the case. The only thing that stops or can prevent this team. I say Brooklyn? Not every guy on this roster right now, but this team from not winning a title at least one title over the next three years. His injury. Or chemistry. That's it. It would be a massive disappointment with everything that Brooklyn has given up. For them to not win at least one Title. Every now and then, and we'll figure out what type of system they try to run. It's gonna be a given to take. Don't expect to see James Harden. You don't bringing the ball up court? Playing 37 minutes and jacking up every shot that he wants. You wanna know why? Because there was no Kevin Durant in Houston. There was no Kyrie Irving in Houston. He played with Howard. He played with Paul He played with Westbrook. Not one of the greatest players of all time and Kevin Durant. So I expect things to be different. Expect an acclamation period. And at the same time this has been one hell of a season cancelations here and there. I don't expect them to tow won a title this year. But if they're healthy, I think they'll give anybody in the east to run. I think next year we get back to normal. They should definitely be competitive, and I don't think this is the final version of this roster. And so was James Harden a jerk on his way out of Houston. Hell, yeah, he was Is Kyrie Irving doing a terrible job once again at communicating explaining what the hell is going on with him? Off course he is. Kevin Durant is coming off of an Achilles stare. So this has the makings to potentially be a disaster. All things considered. But if all of these players end up healthy I think they can work this out. I think they can win at least one Title. And I can't look at everything that hard and did in Houston and just decide the plug and play it into the Brooklyn Nets. He's not in Texas any more. You can tweet me at J. R Sport brief. I'm gonna get back to the phone lines right now. You always know. Wednesday night. I give you another top six list tonight in an hour. I'm going to give you sports cities that have the worst luck right now. So it'll be another top six list. But right now It's time to hit the phones. Let's go to Houston and talk to John. John, you are CBS Sports radio. Is this a good look a good move for the Nets. Do you think they can win the title? Well, thank you for having me own. This is a great show, man. I'm loving this. Um, I'm not gonna sit here and say that that hard you can't Get along with those guys out there, but they really, really, really gonna have to work with you. He has the mentality that he has got to be number one on the court. That's why him and Westbrook didn't get along. That's exactly the reason why, and he gets up there. He's gonna give with Durant. Durant is a team player. He's going to get up there with Irving. Irving is a team player. That's the bait. I'm going with this. No, no. Okay. If you don't know, out of all due respect, if you don't know if you don't agree with me, that's fine. Okay, but I do know. How hard news And he is not He has got to be number one on the court, or he's not happy now if they can work with him. And try to change his ways. The ways that he had for the last six years if they can change that, if they can change his mental attitude, Yeah, he'll be great. No doubt, And I wish him the best of luck. I really do And thank you for all the traits. You know, I I wish then that's all the best of luck, too. But you're gonna have to work with him and you're gonna He's going. He's a lot of baggage. He's a lot of baggage, but I'm gonna hang up. Let you talk and thanks a lot for having me on this. It's been a great showman. I'm loving it. Well, thank you so much, John. I appreciate you for calling up from Houston much love to you. Listen. Goes back to what I said. Houston was his team. It can go from less Alexander's of patina. He? It was his teen from the moment.
