All right, so this is our reaction section, and we're going to start off with if we believe that

0:07.1

interest rates will get cut.

0:08.3

So the Fed basically said there's a Jerome Powell basically affect the entire economy and they directly affect

0:23.2

indirectly affect marketing at the end of day because it's spending right?

0:26.6

So what are your thoughts first Neil like you know do we think it's going to be cut three times?

0:30.4

I think that's a little that's a little optimistic but it's

0:36.1

election year next year. They say economy typically booms in election year and

0:39.8

you know historically it has.

0:43.3

The Fed has also come out and said, hey, it's potential.

0:46.9

We never said we are cutting three times.

0:48.8

To be clear, they never said they are going to cut three times. They indicated that they may or may not cut, but that's what it's

0:57.3

1:34.7

If you're paying the bank 8.5% interest it going down from 8.5 to 8 or from 9.5 to 8.

1:41.1

To 8.5 not that bigger difference,

1:43.6

compared to what we're used to and what we were making

1:46.2

a lot of our financial decisions based off of.

1:49.0

But if the data starts coming in good on the inflation side and much worse on the economy side I think

1:56.2

they can they'll cut much deeper and I don't think we'll know until you know we start the new year and we start getting really

2:04.6

into it I'm hoping they cut more than 0.75% so here's what Jerome Powell said so the
