| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dividend Cafe, weekly market commentary focused on dividends in your portfolio |
| 0:06.5 | and dividends in your understanding of economic life. |
| 0:12.2 | Welcome back in the Dividend Cafe. This is Tuesday, October the 7th. Brian Saitel is with |
| 0:18.3 | you here after a long and productive week last week in New York |
| 0:23.0 | City meeting with all of our different manager partners and portfolio managers. It's nice to get |
| 0:28.2 | into a rhythm here back this week. We actually had a little lower day on markets, but not a whole |
| 0:33.9 | lot. We had the Dow down about 91 points. S&P was down a third of a percent. |

| 1:34.0 | between the risk of inflation or the risk to the employment market. So I'm going to run through |
| 1:37.6 | this with you here real quick. So Miran, remember, this is the newest appointed Fed governor that came in |
