| 0:00.0 | Good morning, today is March 25th, 2019. My name is Eduardo Vicente and these are Puerto Rico's top news for today. |
| 0:10.0 | So we start off with a positive news. |
| 0:13.0 | John Belázquez, who is a Puerto Rican horse rider, just became the first horse rider in history to make the $400 million mark in prices and race prices. He was also the first person |
| 0:28.6 | to ever reach the $300 million mark. So that pretty much makes him one of the best horse riders in |
| 0:36.1 | history at least one of the best to consistently stay at the top for a long period of time and therefore be able to rack up these huge price numbers. Now he's on his way |
| 0:47.6 | to $500 million but that's really not very likely since he's already 48 years old so it's very |
| 0:56.5 | unlikely that he will make the $500 million mark but good for him it's a lot of money, in price money. We move on and a group of economists are saying that Puerto Rico is overestimating. |
| 1:15.8 | It's revenues and it's future revenues and it's fiscal plans and the oversight board |

| 1:35.3 | The thing here is that the more we project |
| 1:39.6 | that we're gonna make in revenue, |
| 1:41.3 | then the more bondholders can ask for. |
| 1:44.2 | So if we're gonna make $10 billion in the next 10 years, just to put up a number, well, they can say, then the more bond holders can ask for. So if we're going to make |
| 1:45.2 | $10 billion in the next 10 years just to put up a number, well, they can say, then they can say, |
| 1:49.3 | hey, I want 20% of that. But if we're going to make $20 billion, then they can say, hey, I want |
| 1:53.7 | 20% of our revenues |
| 2:07.6 | So this is very serious |
| 2:09.8 | Jay has been talking about this a whole lot. I have been talking about this a whole lot in my podcast |
