Well, that was quite a 24 hours, wasn't
0:03
it? From
0:06
American Public Media, this is
0:09
Marketplace. In
0:19
Los Angeles, I'm Kyle Rizdahl. It is Friday
0:21
today. This one is the 28th of June.
0:24
Good as always to have you along, everybody. We
0:27
begin on this last Friday
0:29
of June with a mix of economic
0:31
data, the management of this economy, and the
0:33
politics of this economy. Nobody better to do
0:35
that with than Gina Smilak. She is
0:37
at the New York Times. Catherine
0:40
Rempel is at the Washington Post. Hey, you two.
0:42
Hey, Kyle. Hey, Kyle. Gina,
0:44
let me begin with you. We will start
0:46
with the data. The Fed's favorite measure
0:49
of inflation, which everybody listening to this
0:51
program knows is the Personal Consumption Expenditures
0:53
Price Index, PCE for short, came in.
0:55
I think the word I saw
0:57
one of your sources in the paper today use was mild,
0:59
2.6% year on year.
1:03
Thus, perhaps maybe this
1:05
spring was just a bump in a bumpy road. What
1:07
do you think? Yeah, I
1:09
think that's kind of the consensus that
1:11
we're really seeing forming is that this
1:13
spring looked bad. It was pretty worrying,
1:15
but it wasn't necessarily anything that derailed
1:17
progress here. We probably saw slightly
1:20
more progress than you would have expected toward the end
1:22
of last year than we saw a lot less progress
1:24
than you would have expected through March. Now, we're kind
1:26
of back on track to where we previously thought we
1:28
might be. I think that's
1:30
great news for anybody who's hoping that
1:32
inflation comes back under control. It's probably
1:34
good news for the Fed. I talked
1:36
to several economists today who said that
1:39
this doesn't solidify the case for a rate cut
1:41
as soon as September. It doesn't make it a
1:43
done deal, but it definitely helps the case for
1:45
that. Catherine Rempel, the next
1:47
words out of my mouth are yes and
1:50
but. We learned this week
1:52
that GDP is softish, 1.4% in the first quarter.
1:56
Consumers are maybe not great. There's
1:58
some sort of... selfening in the
2:00
labor market. What do you think? Well,
2:04
and even in the release
2:06
today, the same release that
2:08
had the PCE data also
2:10
showed pretty solid income in spending
2:12
numbers, which may mean that, okay,
2:15
the inflation slowdown has improved the
2:17
outlook for Fed cuts, but maybe
2:20
there's no urgency to cut either,
2:22
given that spending is still pretty
2:25
strong. Do you want to encourage
2:27
more spending and potentially reignite inflation?
2:29
It's kind of this cacophony of
2:32
different economic indicators, which I
2:34
guess is always true to some
2:36
extent. It's always
2:39
kind of a mixed bag, but it would
2:41
be nice if more of the numbers were
2:43
pointing in the same direction that they have
2:45
been recently, given everything we've been
2:47
through. Yeah, no, totally. So look, Gina, just a
2:49
very quick detour back to the Fed, right? The
2:51
mantra has been for, I've
2:54
forgotten how many months and years it's been now, data,
2:56
data, data, we want more confidence and we want more
2:58
good data. The Fed is going
3:00
to have to separate the wheat from the chaff here and
3:02
decide what data they like and what data they don't. Yeah?
3:05
Yeah, right? This is always the problem with
3:07
saying you're data dependent. It's been like, which
3:10
data are you depending on, exactly. And I
3:12
think this is clearly one of those moments
3:14
for them. I think that they've pretty clearly
3:18
set out this sort of two-part test for us that I
3:20
think is somewhat useful in thinking about how they're going to
3:22
think about the rest of the year, which is that they
3:24
want to see sort of sustained
3:26
evidence that makes them believe that inflation is under
3:28
control. So I think that's basically them telling us
3:31
that they are just looking at these inflation numbers.
3:33
And then the second part is they would be
3:36
sort of prodded toward a cut if they saw a
3:38
surprising and sudden deterioration in the labor market. And so
3:41
I think that those are sort of the two, watch
3:43
those jobs reports and watch those inflation reports. That seems
3:45
to be where they're focused at the moment. Yeah, sorry,
3:47
Gina, let me just stay with you for one second
3:49
and something you said. They want
3:52
to know that inflation is under control. So
3:54
we should read this 2.6% and
3:56
flat monthly, by the way, the PCE
3:59
that came out today. We should read that
4:01
as the Fed thinking maybe inflation's not yet
4:03
under control Yeah,
4:05
so I think that one of the things that they
4:07
are probably pretty aware of is You
4:09
are going to have and I went back to using
4:12
nerdy term But then I'm gonna define it you are
4:14
going to have base effects kick in pretty soon Which
4:16
means that inflation came down a lot toward the end
4:18
of last year and as we
4:20
lap those softer numbers on a year-over-year Basis
4:22
so as we're comparing inflation today to inflation
4:24
a year ago It's going to
4:27
look like and it's gonna be a little harder for
4:29
inflation to keep coming down So those year-over-year numbers could
4:31
flatline and in fact, we're kind of expecting them to
4:33
flatline And so I think that's what's gonna
4:35
keep the Fed a little bit wary You know, you
4:37
don't want to while while those monthly numbers matter a
4:40
lot They're not gonna want to cut interest rates at
4:42
a time when inflation is gonna get stuck at two
4:44
six sort of indefinitely You know, and so I think
4:46
that that is what's gonna keep them a little bit
4:49
on watch in the months ahead Okay,
4:51
Catherine Pell to the management of this economy from
4:54
the Supreme Court of the United States today a
4:57
case in which the Justice
4:59
has overruled what's come to be called the
5:01
Chevron deference Which is to say that regulatory agencies
5:03
should be deferred to generally speaking when when
5:05
figuring out how to apply in practice Laws
5:08
and statutes in their areas of
5:10
expertise This is as we talked about a
5:12
little bit on the program yesterday with a different case This
5:14
is a fundamental change in the way
5:17
this economy is managed Absolutely
5:19
It is a shift of power
5:21
away from the executive branch and
5:24
to some extent away from Congress
5:26
Toward the courts that the
5:28
courts will now be probably facing
5:30
a torrent of litigation a torrent
5:32
of cases About other
5:35
kinds of regulations that are on the books
5:38
labor regulations food safety financial
5:41
regulations environmental Energy,
5:43
etc They're all going
5:45
to be challenged or many of them
5:48
will be challenged as well Did the
5:50
regulatory agency overstep its authority did they
5:52
you know, did they did they were
5:54
they putting into effect? Very
5:57
specific instructions from Congress or were the
5:59
instructions? to ambiguous and therefore the
6:02
agency, whatever regulations the agency put in
6:04
place, rules and regulations, those no longer
6:06
stand. So I think it's going to
6:08
lead to a lot of uncertainty about
6:11
what the rules of the road are
6:14
for major, major industries. And
6:17
beyond that, it'll constrain
6:19
how much various federal agencies
6:22
can actually regulate the
6:24
industries that they're supposed to be overseeing.
6:26
There's some opportunity that Congress can step
6:28
in. And
6:31
rewrite statutes and create more certainty. But I
6:33
think the next few years you're going to
6:35
see a lot of uncertainty about
6:38
how companies should be operating. Sorry, Catherine, one
6:40
more thing on this. Congress, as
6:42
we know, cannot agree what day of the
6:44
week it is. Yes. Which
6:46
amplifies this challenge, right? And that's
6:49
a facetious thing to say, but they can't
6:51
agree on practically anything. Yes,
6:53
it's not just that Congress is
6:55
dysfunctional, it's that there legitimately
6:58
are a lot of complicated questions
7:00
that you would want to be
7:02
deferred to the experts. There are
7:04
professional expert civil servants at
7:07
NASA or at the FDA or the
7:09
EPA where you want the scientists figuring
7:14
out what's the right level of arsenic in
7:17
the water or whatever. You don't necessarily want
7:19
to rely on the expertise of Congress, even
7:21
in a Congress that were more functional
7:25
than the one today. But yes,
7:27
your point is taken that if Congress
7:30
can't agree on very basic things, how
7:32
are they going to agree on these
7:34
minutia that will be needed to figure
7:36
out how industries operate, how companies operate?
7:38
Gina, super quick on the politics of
7:40
all this. Former President Trump
7:43
last night in the debate hailed
7:46
his own deregulatory agenda, and we now have
7:48
the Supreme Court with a
7:50
deregulatory set of decisions. Uncertainty,
7:53
that word Catherine kept using. Uncertainty now
7:55
kind of applies. Yeah,
7:57
I think that obviously. I
8:00
think he's probably going to take some amount of
8:02
credit for the Supreme Court being the composition that
8:04
it is and this sort of
8:06
having happened. I think
8:08
it's been really interesting to watch recently,
8:10
not just in the debate, but in
8:12
a lot of his interviews as of
8:15
late, former President Trump has really emphasized
8:17
that his deregulatory agenda was the thing
8:19
that he thinks lifted growth in that
8:21
first term, to the extent the
8:23
growth was lifted, I think, which we could take issue with.
8:26
But I think that you're going to hear this message
8:28
more and more that deregulation is the thing that they're
8:30
likely to focus on this time around because tax cuts,
8:32
it's hard to do a lot more
8:34
on tax cuts. You can extend them. They're talking
8:36
about tipped tax cuts. But really, I think this
8:39
deregulation is the thing we're going to see Republican
8:41
politicians hammer
8:43
into the election in the fall. Gina
8:45
Smilak at The New York Times, Catherine Redpel at
8:48
the Washington Post. Thanks, you two. Thanks,
8:51
Kat. Wall Street today bringing the first
8:53
half of this year to a close. Traders
8:55
decided to sell just a little bit though.
8:57
We'll have the details when we do the
8:59
numbers. It's
9:04
been a busy
9:07
couple of days
9:09
at one first
9:11
street northeast, Washington,
9:14
D.C., the mailing
9:26
address of the Supreme Court of the United States. The
9:28
court has been handing down its last handful
9:30
of decisions for the term. One more decision
9:33
day coming on Monday. Today
9:35
though, in addition to that Chevron
9:37
deference case, the justices also ruled six
9:39
to three that city bans on
9:41
homeless encampments on streets and sidewalks are
9:44
not unconstitutional. That is
9:46
one extreme end of an ongoing
9:48
housing crisis in this country, crises
9:50
really of supply and affordability. We
9:53
got more evidence of that this week. The
9:55
National Association of Realtors told us
9:57
that pending home sales fell about
9:59
two percent. in May, and the group
10:01
predicted median existing home prices are going to keep
10:04
on rising to more than $400,000 this
10:06
year. That's up about 4% from 2023. Marketplace's Mitchell Hartman
10:12
has the rest of that story. The spring
10:15
home selling season is wrapping up.
10:17
And if you're the chief economist for
10:19
the country's realtors, you can say goodbye
10:21
to it with a Bronx cheer. Home
10:24
sales activity for spring 2024,
10:26
it was a
10:28
sluggish disappointment. That's
10:30
Lawrence Yoon at the National Association of
10:32
Realtors. Pending contracts, lowest
10:35
ever since we began our
10:37
measurement from 2001. Meanwhile,
10:40
the sale prices listed on those
10:42
contracts are the highest in U.S.
10:44
real estate history. Part
10:46
of the problem is very low
10:48
inventory of homes for sale because
10:50
of what's called the lock-in effect.
10:52
Homeowners with a 3% mortgage
10:55
don't want to put their house on the
10:57
market, then swallow a mortgage rate that's twice
10:59
as high on their next house. Yoon
11:01
says this is starting to change.
11:04
Life moves on. There's divorces,
11:07
marriages. People have additional child
11:09
in the family. Maybe
11:11
people are looking for different school districts.
11:13
People want to change residence. And
11:16
recently, the supply of homes for
11:18
sale has increased. But
11:20
just when that happened, home demand
11:22
turned sour, at least demand for
11:25
homes at their current astronomical prices.
11:28
One reason is those high mortgage rates. And
11:30
then there's all the other rising expenses
11:33
families are dealing with. Robert
11:35
Dietz at the National Association of
11:37
Homebuilders says we're facing a
11:39
multi-decade low in housing affordability
11:41
conditions. Price to income ratios
11:44
expanding as home prices increase.
11:46
Dietz estimates that after years
11:48
of underbuilding, the U.S. has
11:50
a deficit of one and
11:52
a half million new homes.
11:55
If we're able to increase housing production by about
11:57
100,000 homes a year, It's
12:00
going to take a decade. So
12:03
maybe at this point you could let
12:05
spring turn to summer without trying to
12:08
become a homeowner, says Chris Mayer at
12:10
Columbia Business School. I hear
12:12
it over and over again. When you rent, you're
12:14
flushing money away. I don't think that's
12:16
true. It makes perfect
12:19
sense if rent is low
12:21
relative to buying that you should rent and
12:23
take the money that you would have spent
12:25
buying the home. And save it
12:27
for later. I'm Mitchell Hartman
12:29
for Marketplace. If
12:46
you had to pick one word, one
12:48
idea to sum up the American economy
12:51
the past two-ish years, it
12:53
might be normalization. Fly
12:55
chains, inflation, GDP growth, they have all
12:57
normalized from the height of the pandemic.
13:00
According to data out this week from the Bureau
13:02
of Labor Statistics, we can
13:04
add work from home to
13:06
that normalization list. The BLS
13:08
says that in 2023,
13:10
35% of employed people did some or all
13:13
of their work at home. And
13:15
while that is more than 10 percentage points higher than in
13:17
2019, didn't change much
13:20
from 2022 as workplaces
13:22
and workers, I suppose, settled into their
13:24
new normal. Marketplace's Elizabeth Travall
13:27
has that story from home. There's
13:30
something special about today's data from
13:32
the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Daniel
13:34
Hammermush with UT Austin says, imagine
13:36
a bunch of American workers filling
13:38
out diaries of how they spend
13:40
their time. The beauty
13:42
of the diaries is you fill it out when
13:45
you start an activity, when you finish an activity,
13:47
or at least you do it in retrospect over
13:49
a day, and it's got to be
13:51
24 hours, no fooling
13:53
around. The data reflects people's
13:55
routines, work, leisure, childcare
13:58
in 2023. But
14:01
Hammermesh doubts that much has changed today.
14:03
So I ask him, if the work
14:05
from home rate is hovering around 35%,
14:07
can we go ahead and chisel that
14:11
into stone? You use something a
14:13
little bit less durable than stone
14:15
because something could come along just
14:17
as COVID did to completely surprise
14:19
people. And so, yes, it's interesting.
14:22
Nothing else happens of totally revolutionary importance. It
14:24
will be this way for quite a while,
14:26
I predict. But work from home
14:28
rate has leveled off in the past couple
14:30
of years. Jose Maria Barreiro is with the
14:32
Mexico Autonomous Institute of Technology and studies the
14:35
transition to work from home in the U.S.
14:38
Looking ahead, he says, If anything,
14:40
work from home is likely to increase
14:42
in the long term. And so the
14:44
reason basically being technology. Technology that makes
14:46
it even easier to do our jobs
14:48
at home in our pajama pants. But
14:51
many employees did actually have to put their
14:54
work pants on in 2023. In
14:57
fact, the BLS data show that there
14:59
was also an increase of people who
15:01
went into the workplace, either sometimes or
15:03
full time. There may be
15:05
a move towards more hybrid
15:08
work. Economist Emma Harrington
15:10
with the University of Virginia says
15:12
there are benefits to the hybrid
15:14
model. You get focused time at
15:16
home for cranking out tasks. And
15:19
then also some of that more collaborative
15:21
time in the office where you're having
15:23
those, you know, inspirational water
15:25
cooler chats. For some, it's the
15:27
best of both worlds. I'm
15:30
Elizabeth Troval for Marketplace. Thank
15:54
you. Coming
16:03
up, the economic model
16:06
for EMS-based community paramedicine is
16:08
very challenging. Getting
16:10
medical care when you need it, but
16:12
more particularly where you need it. First
16:14
though, let's do the numbers. Dow
16:18
industrial's off 45 points today at 10%, 39,118.
16:23
The NASDAQ dipped 126 points, 7 tenths of 1%, finished at 17,732. The
16:29
S&P 500 slid 22 points, about 4 tenths percent, 54 and
16:31
64. The
16:35
Dow dwindled just a tenth of 1%. The NASDAQ
16:37
gained about a quarter percent. The S&P 500 slipped
16:40
a tenth percent. Monday and Tuesday next week,
16:42
by the way, normal trading days. Early close
16:44
Wednesday off Thursday for the 4th, back to
16:46
work on Friday on Wall Street.
16:49
Nike stock ran down a whopping 20%. Today,
16:52
that's after it reported less than expected quarterly
16:54
revenue. The company said it
16:56
expects a sales drop of 10% this
16:58
quarter due to soft sales in China
17:00
and, quote, uneven consumer trends globally. Bond
17:03
prices fell when that happens. The yield goes the
17:05
other way. Up the yield on the 10-year T-note,
17:07
4.38%. To
17:10
end the week, you're listening to Marketplace. This
17:23
is Marketplace.
17:34
I'm Kai Rizdahl. Ticker symbol CVX
17:36
up about a quarter percent today
17:39
in New York. If
17:41
you're not up to speed on your New
17:43
York Stock Exchange tickers, that's Chevron, which I
17:45
mentioned not as a measure of what traders
17:47
think of that company's prospects, but
17:50
as a shorthand way to get into the nuts
17:52
and bolts of what Catherine and Gina and I
17:54
were talking about earlier. The Supreme Court this morning
17:56
overturning a doctrine known as the Chevron deference, which
17:58
again, until today. held that federal
18:00
agencies and regulators in their areas of
18:03
expertise are the best ones to
18:05
decide how laws should be applied in actual practice.
18:07
So what happens now
18:09
for those agencies and regulators?
18:12
Here's Marketplace's Kimberly Adams. The
18:15
end of the Chevron deference will mean
18:17
changes for federal agencies and for lawmakers,
18:19
says Kristin Hickman, a professor at the
18:22
University of Minnesota Law School. The
18:24
Supreme Court is signaling
18:26
as strongly as it
18:29
is able that it
18:31
expects Congress to be
18:33
a little bit more
18:35
careful in how it
18:37
drafts statutes. And
18:39
she says the court won't be as willing as
18:41
it was in the past. To
18:44
allow Congress to just
18:46
fall back on agencies
18:49
rather than making some
18:51
hard choices for itself.
18:54
Especially when it comes to more
18:57
controversial topics like workplace safety or
18:59
environmental regulations, says Devin Ombres at
19:01
the Center for American Progress. There
19:04
is a real concern that the
19:07
court may now begin
19:09
placing statutory constructs in amber
19:11
and not allowing agencies any
19:14
flexibility to address new and
19:16
emerging challenges. Moving
19:18
forward, agencies will have to stick
19:20
to exactly what's written in the
19:22
law, says Dan Greenberg, general counsel
19:25
at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, which
19:27
filed a brief before the court
19:29
in favor of overturning the Chevron
19:31
doctrine. Congress is going
19:33
to be required to do a better job
19:35
to write clearer text, clearer
19:38
statutes, and no
19:40
longer will agencies be able to
19:42
come in and clarify ambiguities. Because
19:45
if agencies do try to interpret the
19:47
law in a way that, say, a
19:50
business or industry group thinks goes too
19:52
far, they're on notice that the
19:54
courts will probably strike it down.
19:56
Because previously, they had some degree
19:58
of independence. That era is over.
20:01
And a post-Chevron era has begun.
20:04
In Washington, I'm Kimberly Adams for
20:06
Marketplace. Healthcare,
20:21
as we know, is not distributed
20:23
evenly in this economy. It's not
20:25
distributed evenly by race. It's
20:28
not distributed evenly by income.
20:30
And it's not distributed evenly
20:32
by location. In some rural
20:34
parts of this country, the parts where
20:36
hospitals and doctors are in short supply, what's happening
20:38
is that people are calling 911 to
20:41
get basic medical care. That's
20:44
not great for a lot of
20:46
hopefully obvious reasons, but a new-ish
20:48
model called community paramedicine aims
20:51
to address it by having paramedics
20:53
regularly check in on people before
20:55
the health issue becomes an emergency.
20:57
Marfa Public Radio's Travis Bubenic reports
20:59
from West Texas. It's
21:01
a scorching hot summer day in the
21:03
tiny desert town of Terlingua, Texas, where
21:05
Susan Martin's the local EMS chief. This
21:08
is our apparatus bay. We do have the one ambulance.
21:11
We have a rescue vehicle now that serves
21:13
kind of as an all-purpose vehicle for us.
21:16
It's what our community paramedics run
21:18
out of when they go on
21:20
calls. Martin's small crew, fewer than
21:22
10 people, responds to 911 calls
21:25
across a dusty 3,000-square-mile range of
21:27
rural West Texas. A lot
21:29
of what we're seeing now with the
21:31
heat is environmental, some dehydration, some heat
21:33
exhaustion, things like that. Martin says they
21:35
also get calls from people with chronic
21:37
health issues. Some patients
21:39
don't understand their medications. They
21:41
don't make me feel good, so I don't want to take them, so I
21:43
don't take them. Then I end up being a 911 call. The
21:46
closest hospital is more than an hour away,
21:48
so her department's one ambulance can be tied
21:50
up for a good chunk of the day
21:53
on an emergency call. That's a
21:55
big part of why Martin's team has launched
21:57
a community paramedicine program, where paramedics regularly change
21:59
their lives. check in on people with known
22:01
health issues, patients who might not get
22:03
to the doctor as often as they should. Alexandra
22:06
Hollenbeck is one of the local paramedics.
22:09
A lot of people out here, you know, they're
22:11
very reclusive. It
22:14
tends to be older people or people
22:16
with chronic illnesses such as hypertension, COPD.
22:19
A 2023 survey from a national paramedics trade
22:21
group counted more than 150 of these kinds
22:25
of community paramedicine programs across the
22:27
country. It's a growing
22:29
health care model championed by EMS agencies
22:31
and hospitals at a time when some
22:33
advocates say rural health care is
22:35
facing a crisis. Adrian Billings
22:38
is a longtime West Texas doctor and
22:40
rural health expert at Texas Tech University.
22:43
This area is one of
22:45
the most under-resourced health care
22:47
areas in our state. Billings
22:49
says for patients, routine paramedicine
22:51
check-ins at home can avoid
22:53
expensive emergency room visits. Hospitals
22:56
want to avoid that too. They can face
22:58
penalties when too many patients come back to
23:01
the ER soon after release. That's
23:03
called a readmission. From a
23:05
financial standpoint, community paramedicine programs do
23:07
help cut down on readmissions that
23:09
can be very costly for hospitals.
23:12
One KFF health news analysis from 2022 tallied
23:14
$320 million in hospital readmission penalties nationwide.
23:21
But even though paramedicine programs
23:23
can save big on costs,
23:25
preventative care like this requires
23:27
an upfront investment. The economic
23:29
model for EMS-based community paramedicine
23:31
is very challenging. That's
23:33
Matt Zavodsky, a longtime emergency medicine
23:35
professional in Texas who now works
23:37
for a national consulting firm for
23:39
EMS operations. He
23:41
says insurance providers, Medicare, Medicaid,
23:43
and private insurers mostly
23:46
don't cover paramedics making house calls.
23:48
So we've got EMTs and paramedics
23:50
all over the country who are
23:53
doing the right thing by trying
23:55
to work with patients to prevent
23:57
unnecessary emergency department visits. But
23:59
yet they're not. not eligible for reimbursement.
24:02
The new paramedicine program in small town Terlingua
24:04
is being funded as part of a broader
24:07
$5 million U.S. Department of Agriculture
24:09
Rural Development Grant, with
24:11
no guarantees for long-term funding. Being
24:14
able to prove to the payers that
24:16
these programs are economically more efficient
24:19
than a 911 call
24:21
to the emergency department is going to
24:23
be crucial for those rural communities to
24:26
sustain these outstanding programs. Zavotsky
24:28
hopes that with time and data, community
24:30
paramedicine programs will be able to prove
24:32
their worth to healthcare insurers. In
24:36
Marfa, Texas, I'm Travis Bovetic for
24:38
Marketplace. This
24:50
final note on the way out today, which caught my
24:52
eye, I think because I'm going to be on and
24:54
off airplanes a lot over the next five weeks. I
24:56
saw this in the Wall Street Journal, data courtesy of
24:59
TSA, that seven of the 10 busiest
25:01
days in the history of the
25:03
TSA, 20-something years, have happened
25:05
between the 23rd of May and
25:07
today. Daily record, you're shy of 3
25:09
million people passing through checkpoints. Here is
25:12
one reason why. Although
25:14
they are still higher than they were in the before
25:16
times, airfares are down almost 6%
25:18
over the past year or so. Our
25:21
theme music was composed by BJ
25:23
Liederman, Marketplace's executive producer is Nancy
25:25
Fargali. Donna Tam is the executive
25:27
editor. Neil Scarborough is the
25:29
vice president and general manager. I'm Kai Rizal. Have
25:31
yourself a great weekend, everybody. We will see you
25:33
again on Monday. All
25:38
right? This
25:45
