On June 18th 1994 while watching Ireland play in the World Cup, 6 completely innocent men were slaughtered by a loyalist paramilitary gunman who sprayed the bar with an assault rifle in an act of cold blooded sectarianism.  Trevor Birney's book, "Shooting Crows" tells the storey of this tragic event, the hatred and bitterness that provide the basis for it, the history of loyalist collusion with various security forces branches, the arms shipment that the weapons came in on and the members of the 3 man team who committed the heinous m*rders. The book also has a personal element for Trevor as he experienced firsthand some of the breaches of his press freedoms by the PSNI following the airing of a film about the Loughlinisland massacre that Trevor was involved in. I'll be doing a Q&A episode soon so please drop any questions in the comment section below or email me at thegoodlistenerpodcast@gmail.com TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro 5:45 LOUGHLINISLAND MASSACRE 18:00 History of Loyalists attacking civilian targets 24:00 “Collusion” and Brian Nelson 28:40 Extreme-loyalists 32:40 Police Ombudsman Reports into the massacre 43:35 PSNI investigate Trevor PLEASE HELP OUT THE SHOW IF YOU CAN SPARE IT..

Are you a property manager? Do you hire property managers? Can you answer the question: what is a property manager, and what do they do? In today's episode, property management growth experts Jason and Sarah Hull discuss what a property manager is and what they should be doing in a property management business. You'll Learn [01:14] Million-dollar question: What does a property manager do? [06:25] Siloing information to protect your business [10:26] Hiring specialists instead of people who can “do it all” [12:20] What should a property manager's role be? [16:31] Property managers as client success experts Tweetables “There's a lot of confusion as to the definition of a property manager in the property management industry.” “When your company grows, what we're going to hopefully have you do is shift into specialists, so that you won't have a property manager that just does everything.” “Effectively cloning yourself or duplicating yourself in the business usually means getting 10 people, not one.” “It's not hard to be exceptional in property management.” Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive TalkRoute Referral Link Transcript [00:00:00] Jason: Business owners, we need to stop trying to find people that can do everything. We need to find people that are really good specialists.  [00:00:08] Welcome DoorGrow property managers to the DoorGrow show. If you are a property management entrepreneur that wants to add doors, make a difference, increase revenue, help others, impact lives. And you are interested in growing in business and life. And you're open to doing things a bit differently, then you are a DoorGrow property manager. [00:00:28] DoorGrow Property Managers love the opportunities, daily variety, unique challenges, and freedom that property management brings. Many in real estate think you're crazy for doing it. You think they're crazy for not because you realize that property management is the ultimate high trust gateway to real estate deals, relationships, and residual income. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses. [00:00:56] We want to transform the industry, eliminate the B. S. build awareness, change perception, expand the market and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. We're your hosts, property management, growth experts, Jason and Sarah Hull, the owners of DoorGrow. Now let's get into the show.  [00:01:13] All right. So one of the things that's come up, we just did a DoorGrow boardroom event. [00:01:18] And one of our clients that was there was like, "I need to hire a property manager." And we're like, "okay." And what we noticed in talking there and going deeper and digging in deeper is that there's a lot of confusion as to the definition of a property manager in the property management industry. [00:01:37] Sarah: Yeah, it's like a catch all.  [00:01:39] Jason: So the challenge is it can mean just about anything.  [00:01:42] Sarah: Yeah. The definition of property manager is: "do anything and everything that the company needs."  [00:01:49] Jason: And so I've noticed this for a while. we've had a lot of clients and they'll say, "Oh, I need another property manager," or "I need to hire a property manager." [00:01:56] "I need to get a property manager." And it always means something different. So like some people think a property manager does everything, and this is the portfolio style property manager. They're like, "they need to go get business." And so they're a BDM, they need to handle and do some of the bookkeeping accounting stuff. [00:02:17] They need to do maintenance coordination. They need to do the leasing. So they're trying to find somebody that's basically an entrepreneur. They can do everything that's probably going to run away and steal half their business. Right. Which happens. It's happened quite a bit. I've seen it. And that's, I think the wrong way to build a property management business, it's the wrong way to hire and build your team. [00:02:36] So let's figure out. What is a property manager? What is it?  [00:02:41] Sarah: Love it.  [00:02:41] Jason: What are your thoughts?  [00:02:42] Sarah: Well, so I think that there's an important distinction, especially when it comes to the size of your company. So in the beginning, When it's just you do everything. It's all you, you, and then you some more. [00:02:58] And I think this is why then when they go to hire a property manager, they're like, "Oh, well I did everything and I want to replace myself. So I need a property manager to replace myself and then they're going to do everything because I did everything." So in the beginning. When you are in the day to day and it's just you and you haven't built a team yet and you're functioning as the property manager because you're in the day to day and the tactical work, yes, you are technically a property manager. [00:03:26] And then when your company grows, what we're going to hopefully have you do is shift into specialists. so that you won't have a property manager that just does everything. You'll have people who are really good at the one thing that they do and will be able to then segment the business and split that out into multiple roles instead of just having a property manager that does everything. [00:03:56] Everything. Yeah. So I created a Facebook post, cause  [00:04:00] There was some heat on that post. Well, I like this. I don't know if you read the comments.  [00:04:03] Jason: I like to stir the pot a little bit. For those that are watching this on video, this is what it looks like, right? So join our Facebook group, go to doorgrowclub. com, get in there. So I said, if the property manager role on your team is not your maintenance coordinator, operator, bookkeeper, leasing agent, then what is their role? And so people are like "define operator, like what's an operator?" So then I was defining what an operator was, but Michelle Miller, shout out to Michelle, she commented. She said, "in other words, if they aren't doing everything, what are they doing?" Right. Brian Nelson said "delegator." And I like that. That's I think  [00:04:39] Sarah: I don't like  [00:04:40] Jason: that.  [00:04:40] I like the idea that they are not the person that's doing all this stuff. Maybe they're orchestrating, maybe that's what they're doing. [00:04:47] They're maintaining the relationship with the owner. Sean Foster, he says "PM's number 1 job is to be the middleman between the owner and the tenant advising and the correct path of the most profitable investment." [00:04:56] And "but that one responsibility branches off into another 20, doesn't it?" [00:05:00] And then, "depends on the systems." There's a little dialogue going back and forth there. So if you do property management, you manage the property. And to manage the property, you're doing leasing, maintenance, inspections, all this stuff. But that doesn't mean that the property manager in your business is doing all this stuff or should be. [00:05:17] Usually you don't want somebody that's a jack of all trades and a master of none trying to do stuff. And if they're actually good at everything, they'll probably just go start their own business. And I think that's the other challenges that we often mistakenly fall into this clone myth. And this was what was going on with our client at the DoorGrow boardroom event. [00:05:35] He thought, he's like, well, "I was a property manager at another company for a while. Now, I have my own business and I'm doing all everything and I need to go hire a property manager and I was doing everything at that company. I'm doing everything in my own company. Now, I need to go find somebody else to do everything." [00:05:50] And when we finally identified this. I call it the clone myth. We think, "I just need to go find somebody just like me. I need to clone myself." Effectively cloning yourself or duplicating yourself in the business usually means getting 10 people, not one. Like 10 different hats, 10 different specialists in the business. [00:06:07] And so just want to address the clone myth real quick. So I think we want to find a way, I think in the industry, it might make sense to eliminate the term property manager. If they're not actually the one doing all of the little pieces, unless you're portfolio style. So what are your thoughts on that? [00:06:25] Sarah: Well, I think the other thing too, that I want to bring up about him at the boardroom event is he's like, "I need a property manager and they're going to do everything. And I do everything. And I also did everything at my other company when I worked for them as a property manager. So I need one. How do I make sure that they don't just steal my business and steal my clients and walk away though, because they're going to be doing everything? [00:06:48] Jason: Yeah.  [00:06:48] Sarah: And that's a really good reason to not have them doing everything.  [00:06:52] Jason: Most business owners eventually figure out you need to silo information. So for example, when I ran a web design agency, I had an intranet where all the information was stored and I had how I sold, how I found clients, like all this was built out in the intranet. [00:07:07] All the sales related stuff. And then I had all of how we build the websites, how we put them together, all this kind of stuff. And I would hire web designers to build the websites and to do work and they would get access to the intranet. They would read the sales stuff and then figure out how to get their own clients and then they would quit. [00:07:25] I kept having them leave and they're like, "Oh, well, I've got so much business. I don't have time to do your projects now." And I was like, "what?" it happened over and over again. So I was like, "okay, something's going on here." So then I realized I needed to segment the information because the stuff that I figured out was pretty effective and pretty valuable. [00:07:40] Sarah: And essentially you were paying them to train them to then run their own business and not work for you anymore.  [00:07:47] Jason: What a deal. So, okay. Yeah. So then I started siloing that information. And so I think I think I shared a TikTok or a reel or something with you where a guy was talking about siloing the information and he was talking about sales and manufacturing and a product business. [00:08:02] And if they know where to source all the manufacturing stuff and they know how to acquire business, they don't need you anymore. So he had to segregate that information. I was like, that's the same thing. You need to segregate knowledge in your business. Your goal is to hire specialists on the team, not generalists that can wear multiple hats. [00:08:22] You're the business owner. You have to wear every hat in the business that is not currently worn by somebody or is not being done properly. You have to step in. It all falls on you. That's the job of the CEO, right? You have to do it. If you have a good operator, then they step in and some of that stuff, too. [00:08:40] You have to do stuff that's uncomfortable.  [00:08:43] Sarah: Well, let's just pause for a moment. Your operator is not going to do your day to day stuff in property management.  [00:08:47] Jason: They shouldn't do your day to day stuff. It sounded like. A lot of people get confused.  [00:08:50] Sarah: I know what you were trying to say, but people are going to hear that and go, "Oh yeah. And then my operator is going to do everything."  [00:08:55] Jason: I just wanted to include you. I didn't want to say you don't do the hard stuff too.  [00:08:59] Sarah: I do the hard stuff when I have to.  [00:09:01] Jason: Yeah.  [00:09:01] Sarah: Until we can hire somebody else to do it. Because I hate doing it. I hate certain parts though, then we hire somebody and they do it much better. [00:09:11] Jason: Yeah. So I think it might make sense unless you're portfolio style, which I'm not a real big fan of. I think there's a lot of downsides to portfolio style management. I think it's really rare that people are good at everything. And so I think it's a lot more effective to get somebody that's a really great maintenance coordinator that can handle maintenance for probably thousands of units, right? [00:09:32] If they really know their stuff and have the right systems and tools and you can take that off of your property manager's plates. You need probably accounting or bookkeeping or a team that helps with that kind of stuff. There's vendors that can help with some of those pieces, especially if you don't enjoy, or aren't good at that piece, there's a lot of available resources, but if you get specialists that are really good, they will surpass your ability in that particular category. [00:10:00] Sarah is much better running the planning system that we have DoorGrow OS, running the operations of the business than me, I just like, when I was doing it between having operators I just stopped planning. I didn't want to do the meetings. It was, "anybody stuck? Let's move on. And now it's meticulous and it's detail and we're moving forward. [00:10:19] And everything's focused and we're hitting all our goals and we're making progress. Right? Because I have a good operator. So I think the business owners, we need to stop trying to find people that can do everything. We need to find people that are really good at specialists. So, I met with this entrepreneur a while back named Joe Abraham. [00:10:39] He gave this cool Ted talk that I liked and I checked out his book and I took his online quiz and he has a book called entrepreneurial DNA and he created this score similar to an assessment like this, but it's BOSI. B O S I. And it talks about the four different types of entrepreneurs, which are builders, opportunists, innovators, and specialists. [00:11:01] And you need to figure out what you are, the book talks about, and then build the right team around you. So, historically, I was more of a specialist, which means I'm dedicated my craft for over a decade to coaching and supporting property managers, right? And like figuring out how to grow businesses and then I'm an innovator. [00:11:17] I like to take in lots of ideas and formulate new ideas and create stuff and that sort of thing. So more of a specialist, innovator and specialist, and most of the coaches and mentors I've hired have been builders. Builder, innovators, stuff like that opportunists are always looking for the next way to make money or the next vehicle or this sort of thing. [00:11:38] Think like Ray Kroc, who took the McDonald's brothers', intellectual property, because they were innovators and specialist, and he blew it up and he was a builder and an opportunist so, opportunists make great salespeople. For example, builders make good CEOs. And so I wanted to be a better CEO. [00:11:56] And so I've worked with a lot of coaches to become more and more of a builder to develop that skill set. And I'm getting better. Better and better. So, so I think we need to as entrepreneurs figure out what are our strengths and then what are we lacking? If you need to get around maybe coaches that can help you with with some of the gaps that you have in your own personality or your own knowledge base, then that can help you get to the next level. [00:12:20] All right, so I think if we could eliminate the property manager term from those that are not portfolio style, then what would a property manager that people typically think is a property manager do if they're not the maintenance coordinator, they're not all these things What do you think?  [00:12:34] Sarah: Yeah, I think you can still call them a property manager. [00:12:37] I'm not against the term like you're like, "eliminate! Anti property manager term and industry!" I just don't think that's going to happen Okay. I do think though once your business grows and gets large enough you can have one person or team to do the maintenance coordination, and then that piece is handled by the maintenance team. [00:12:58] Then you can offload the leasing part, right? They're going through, maybe doing showings if you still do those, or at least going through applications and moving people along doing the move ins. Dealing with move outs and starting that whole process, kicking that off. You might have a leasing person, or a leasing team, and then the accounting piece, like your property manager probably should not be doing accounting. [00:13:20] You should have somebody who is really good at accounting to do the accounting. And if that means you need to have a service, do it for you. That's fine. Just make sure that they're a really good reputable service. And there's someone that can hopefully like triple tie out your books and make sure everything is correct. [00:13:36] And then you, here's the big thing, you still have to monitor it. Don't just hand it off and say, here, please go do this thing. And then just sit back and never look at it and hope that it's right. Because I've seen that a lot where people go, Oh, like I haven't done the bookkeeping. I have somebody else do it. [00:13:52] And then they start investigating because there's a one little issue and they start to pull the thread. And it's like, when you pull the thread of the sweater and it just all unravels. Okay, so don't do that. Don't do that. But then your property manager can be more like the person that deals with the relationships of between like clients and tenants. [00:14:13] Right. So we're bridging a gap.  [00:14:15] Jason: So then technically they're more of a relationship manager, right. They're managing relationships. I think a big gap that we don't see a lot of in the property management industry, that's super common in every other industry is the category of client success. And the category of client success, their whole goal is to retain customers to keep customers, make sure that they're happy. [00:14:38] And so I think that's the role that some people might say, "oh, that's the property manager" is they need somebody that's just focused on client success, loves on the clients, takes care of the clients, makes them feel valued. Maybe meets with them annually to make sure that everything's looking good financially. [00:14:53] Sarah: Portfolio review calls.  [00:14:55] Jason: Portfolio reviews. [00:14:56] Sarah: I love those. I will harp about that all day long. If you're not doing them, do them.  [00:15:00] Jason: Yeah. So, client success in a lot of industries. I've heard some of our coaches and mentors describe as your other sales team. Right. You've got those that sell people in, like your business development, your BDs, your business development managers, your BDMs that bring clients into the business, but then they are not responsible for retaining the clients. [00:15:22] And you think you retain clients just by doing maintenance coordination and just by doing leasing, but these things don't really develop or solidify or build the relationship. If you screw those things up, then you're bound to probably lose clients. And so that's the bare minimum.  [00:15:36] Sarah: No one is going, "Oh my God. This leasing team is so amazing. I'm never going to leave." [00:15:41] Jason: Right.  [00:15:41] Sarah: They just expect the leasing to be good because it's what they signed up for when they hired a property manager. Right? They're not going to go, "Oh my God, I can't believe they got this maintenance thing done so so fast. And it was done in two hours and it was amazing. I'm never going to leave." [00:15:57] Jason: So Gallup organization wrote this book called first break all the rules. And then it has this customer satisfaction pyramid. And at the lowest level, there's the lowest two levels are availability and accuracy. So these are the two things that if you're always available and you're always accurate in what you say you're going to do and you do it, people just don't even notice. And so it's not hard to be exceptional in property management. If you do that, it's expected and demanded.  [00:16:24] Sarah: So this is like all the tactical stuff that we do.  [00:16:27] Jason: Yeah.  [00:16:27] Sarah: It falls into this.  [00:16:29] Jason: Yeah.  [00:16:29] Sarah: It's just expected.  [00:16:31] Jason: So the next level, if you really want to have great client, customer service and great client interactions is partnership and then advice. [00:16:40] And this is where I think a property manager can really add value. This is where they are really a client success role where they're retaining clients. They're improving the relationship and the value that people see in the relationship and in the longevity of staying a client of your particular business, when there's plenty of others that could do it, they can manage their property. [00:17:00] You have team members that are managing the relationship and focusing on client success. So maybe there should be some client success managers in property management and less property managers. As far as terms go.  [00:17:13] Sarah: He's really trying to get rid of that term.  [00:17:15] Jason: I don't know. It's just, it's so ambiguous. [00:17:17] Sarah: That's why. So when we were creating R docs, like all of the job descriptions for different roles, he's like, "I want there to be an R doc for every role in property management business." And I said, "okay, I can create it." Here's the problem. The problem is that if I create one for an assistant, it's going to be different from company to company. If I create one for a property manager, there's going to be some similarities, but there's always going to be things that are different from company to company. So there are great templates, right? And it's they're, it's amazing. And then you just delete the things you don't need and add anything you do need from there. There's nothing that's uniform. There's so much that's different from business to business. We all do the same thing. We're all property management entrepreneurs, but the way the ins and outs, the inner workings of our business, there's a million different ways to do it.  [00:18:10] Jason: We did define those Rdocs though. [00:18:12] We have Rdocs for each of the major roles. I think yeah, I think having recognizing that. You need a client success person to maintain the relationship. You need a maintenance coordinator. You need if all these things are segregated and you get really great specialists in each of these areas, then yeah, you're going to have a much stronger lifetime value of your client. [00:18:33] You're going to make a lot more money. So I think that's important. Anything else we should talk about related to property manager?  [00:18:39] Sarah: I think that covers it.  [00:18:40] Jason: All right. So figure out and I'm curious, go ahead and find my post in the DoorGrow club group, or go post or comment in the DoorGrow club community. [00:18:51] I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. What do you feel a property manager is if you don't do portfolio style? What are your property managers doing? How do you define that role? And are they really managing properties? Are they really managing people? Are they really customer success? Are they really supporting and taking care of owners? [00:19:08] Or do you think they're taking care of tenants and like maintaining a relationship there? So, all right, I think that's our interesting conversation for the day for the DoorGrow show and do you want to give them a call to action? That's a good call to action for the end of the show here? [00:19:23] Sarah: Oh, well, we have a few events coming up. So go and check out our events that we have coming up. Don't miss DoorGrow. It's going to be a big one. [00:19:31] This is like our big conference. We do it once a year. It's here in Round Rock, Texas on it's a Friday and Saturday, May 17th and 18th. And our theme this year is creating opportunity from uncertainty. So we have a lot of great topics, a lot of great speakers lined up for you guys. And I've got something special in the works that I haven't really released yet, but It's gonna be really cool because we've never done anything quite like that before  [00:19:57] Jason: Yeah, all right.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Emile Zola's greatest literary success, his thirteenth novel in a series exploring the extended Rougon-Macquart family.

"Balaclava Street" is a leading blog dedicated to exploring the history of the loyalist paramilitaries in Northern, particularly the UVF. Over the years Iain has gained unprecedented access to ex-UVF members for the book that he is in the process of writing about the loyalist paramilitary's history.We spoke the various loyalist paramilitary groups and the differences between them, who was most active, how the UVF men regarded the IRA & INLA and how the groups armed themselves during the violent period in Ireland's history.Iain gave his take on accusations of collusion between loyalist paramilitaries and British security forces, theories surrounding the infamous Robin Jackson, the Miami Showband Massacre, Dublin/Monaghan b*mbings and Robert Nairic, the English solider who met his end after singing rebel songs on the table of a pub in South Armagh.We spoke about how UVF members reacted to one of their members, prolific murderer Mark Haddock, being an RUC agent and also about the feuds that have taken place amongst the loyalists since the Good Friday Agreement.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro7:20 UVF, UDA, UFF 14:20 Who was more active ?

 US Treasury Secretary Jenny Allen. She joins Bloomberg News in Washington, d C. For a conversation around the economy, moderated by our Washington Bureau Chief Peggy Collins. I think we'll start off with the economic data that came out this morning, third quarter GDP showing a robust four point nine percent growth rate a pace in the third quarter. When you look at those figures, do you think we've likely avoided a recession or do you think it's too good to be true because inflation is still so high. Well, it's a good, strong number, and it shows an economy that's doing very well. Let's remember it is just one quarter's number, and I'm not expecting a growth at that pace to continue. But we do have good, solid growth. You know, probably the year will come in close to two and a half. I wouldn't be surprised if we see that we have solid job creation, a low unemployment rate, increased engagement in the labor force. Labor force participation is strong, more people want to work, and inflation's coming down, and you don't really see any sign of recession here. I have to say I've been saying for a long time that I believed there was a path to bring inflation down in the context of a strong labor market. Frankly, it's only it's about a year ago since I believe a Bloomberg model predicted that by October of twenty twenty three. Now, namely that you saw at the odds of recession at one hundred percent, I don't think we have that. You know, what we have looks like is soft landing with very good outcomes through the US economy. So I think there's a lot to be pleased about. And you see good strong consumers spending, consumers still have substantial wealth, it's substantially since the pandemic. I think it's supporting good, strong spending and the economy is doing well, and I think US growth is making a contribution to stronger global outcomes as well. So you just pointed to a number of things that are positive about the US economy. But we've done a lot of reporting in recent months that here at Bloomberg, who sent reporters out all across the country, and what we're hearing from people on the ground is that when you ask them about their personal finances, they feel pretty good. For a lot of the reasons you just mentioned the labor market, their ability as consumers to spend, But when you ask them about the direction of the US economy, the sentiment is much more downbeat. So what can you do to close the gap on the positive side in terms of how people feel about the US economy, especially as we head into an election year. So I think Ricans have been through a lot with the pandemic and the lockdown for almost two years than a period of high inflation. And as you say, they do seem to feel good about their own personal finances. Surveys of job satisfaction suggests people feel good about their work too. We've rarely seen higher numbers on job satisfaction, but they seem very worried about the economy and that things are not doing well. You know, the US economy has suffered from structural problems from a very long time. For a very long time, A significant share of the population, particularly those who haven't had a college education, who have really not seen meaningful growth in their real income and have seen a decline in job opportunities over really approaching fifty years. And I think what Americans need to know is that the Biden Harris administration is really decisively changing that we are investing in America. We have passed three a trifecta of legislation that people will increasingly see who've been suffering from a shortage of job opportunities. I think they're really going to see things change. First of all, we're spending an enormous amount to repair America's infrastructure, and increasingly people are going to see their roads that they get hung up on every day. It's hard to commute with potholes everywhere. It's going to be fixed, Bridges are going to be improved. Reports, people are going to within the next several years, virtually every American will have access to good, good internet, so improving digital economy. And we've seen an enormous set of investments announced in response, largely to the Chips and Semiconductors Act and to the Inflation Reduction Act in clean energy, and jobs are being created. What we see in this past year is that a disproportionate share of the jobs that are being created are in communities that have had less economic opportunity, communities with below average incomes and with a below average share of people who have a college education. So this means that uppportunity will increasingly come to people who really haven't in a sense, gotten a fair shake over the last fifty years, as they've seen jobs disappear. And you know, President Biden and Vice President Harris and I really believe that you ought to have access to a good job, even if you don't have a college education. And increasingly I think people will see that good opportunities are being created. Certainly, the President is trying to go out and explain to people what this longer term, medium term agenda. He would say, it's a matter of growing the economy from the bottom up, in the middle out. What we've had is too much of trying to grow the economy to trickle down from the going with gains going to the top with a hope that it will trickle down. And I think we beginning to see the fruits of these investments begin beginning to pay off. So I think the Americans have a lot to look forward to and beginning to see this in their daily laws. So we were just talking about americans perception of the economy. But another thing we follow closely here at Bloomberg globally is investors perception of the economy. So I want to ask you a little bit about the rise in yields that we've seen. We've seen yields surging over the last few weeks. The ten year treasury rose above five percent earlier this week. What's your view on what is driving that surgeon yields and how much of it is connected to investors' concerns about the US deficit. Well, I don't think much of it is connected to that. This is a global phenomenon in advanced countries. We're seeing yields go up in most advanced countries of the world, and largely I think it's a reflection of the resilience that people are seeing in the US economy. That we're not having a recession, that consumer spending and demand continue to be strong. The economy is continuing continuing to show tremendous robustness, and that suggests that interest rates are likely to stay higher for longer, and so part of the increase in yields I think is simply a reflection of the strength of the economy, the notion that interest rates will be higher for longer. Now, whether or not that's really true, if we look at five or ten years, what are interest rates likely to do? Honestly, for a very long time we've felt that interest rates over decades had been coming down real interest rates, and that there were deep structural reasons for that, in part relating to demographics and those underlying trends. They're still there, they're still in force. So I think it's perfectly possible that we will see longer term yields come down, but nobody really knows for sure. But I see the higher yields as certainly importantly a reflection for stronger economy. So when you think about the deficit, I think one of your preferred metrics for assessing US fiscal stability is to look at the net interest outlay as adjusted test relation. And right now, I think you've said that those levels seem good to you, but there are in real terms, it's about one percent a little bit under that. So that's helpful in terms of kind of the next figure I was going to mention is several economists out there are forecasting that that figure by twenty thirty could be well north of two percent. So at that level, would you be alarmed? In terms of the sustain fhysical sustainability. Let me just say, fiscal sustainability is really critical, and President Biden is committed to putting forward a fiscal plan that shows fiscal sustainability and uncertainty about interest rates. Interest rates do influence what the path of that real net interest is going to be. There's a bigger challenge if the interest rate path stays higher. President Biden has already supported deficit reduction measures in the Pact, raising the dead ceiling and other legislation. In the Inflation Reduction Act, there's a trillion dollars of deficit reduction, and he proposed a budget that both invests in America continues to do that and also has riffin you raising measures that would result in another two and a half trillion dollars of deficit reduction over the next decade. So, yes, we have to put forward fiscal plans that will keep the deficit manageable and keep this real net interest cost I would say well below two percent. So the higher the interest rate path, the more that we need to do. I want to take a moment a secretary and turn to the global outlook. With the Israel Hamas war happening in the Middle East, I think there's a concern by some that the war could spread or expand to broader in the region. I know that that's not your base case. But if that was to happen, could you walk us through your wrist scenario for what that might mean to the global economy. So I guess I have to say my focus is, I look now at what's happening to the Middle East. Really is the tragedy, the human tragedy that's taking place with the Israelis have suffered, and of course we're worried about casualties in Gaza as Israel, you know, pursues its war against Thomas and so it's really the human suffering that I think should be our focus in countering terrorism. We're monitoring the economic consequences carefully. I so far, I would say we've not yet seen much that has global consequences. Oil prices are largely flat. What could happened if the war expands. Of course there could be more meaningful consequences, but I think it's premature to speculate against about those, and I think our focus should be keeping miscontained and not spreading so on Hamas. I know the Treasury Department has taken further moves in the last few weeks to restrict financing to Hamas, and your under secretary Brian Nelson is actually in the Middle East right now. Do you think there's room for further restricting or limiting financing to Hamas and if so, can you tell us what might be some of the next steps. So I can't comment on any specifics concerning sanctions we have not yet put in place, but what I can say is we have taken a large number of steps just over the last year to put in place sanctions to try to reduce the avenues for financing of Hamas, and in the aftermath of this attack last week, we put additional sanctions in place. My Undersecretary, as you mentioned, will be in the Middle East and Deputy Secretary Ademo is leaving tonight for a trip to Europe to also discuss working with our allies on sanctions. And we are certainly looking at further opportunities we see to try to reduce this flow of financing to Himas where all over this and are likely to do more. So. One final question on the Middle East before before we turn to other topics on Iran, can you help us understand are the six billion dollars in Iranian oil proceed assets the US treasury from access by Iran right now as they sit in a Katari account. I guess all I can really tell you is that not a penny of that money has been touched. The Trump administration agreed to allow Iran to sell oil, and the sales were largely to Korea, and the proceeds were held in a Korean bank account and only permitted to be used for humanitarian purposes, without any direct funding ever going to Iran. And those proceeds were moved from Koreer to Kitar. They still sit there. They can only be used for humanitarian purposes. They have not been used. And I don't feel comfortable saying more about diplomatic conversations that are taking place, but Iran has not touched those phones. We just as mentioned diplomacy, and so much of your role as secretary has been actually traveling around the world. We often think of the Treasury Department as so domestic, but so much of what you've done is international, and you're seen as a liberal economist supportive of free trade. I wondered your thoughts on how concerned are you that some of the Biden policies may be sealing a mistrust of globalization that was ramped up in the Trump administration. And whether that's actually good for the US economy. Well, I think that's a great question. I've talked about concept I call friendsuring. So I think it's a consequence partly of the pandemic and partly Russia's invasion of Ukraine. We've come to the realization that our supply chains, America's supply chains are not secure, and in some cases we're overly dependent on countries like China. And what we need to do is to take steps as a country to reduce our vulnerability and to diversify our supply chains. And to some extent that involves reassuring things to the United States and doing more here, and certainly in the area of clean energy. The Inflation Reduction Act has incentives to do more in the United States, and the desire there, in part is to create good jobs in industries that are likely to be drivers of future growth, whether it's semiconductors or clean energy. But we don't want to forego the benefits of globalization and trade, and so the idea of friendshuring is that we want to be able to rely on a broader set of countries to do trade and investment. To deepen our trade and investment relationships with countries that we feel are trustworthy that can be reliable parts of a global supply chain that we take part in. And part of what I've been doing is traveling around the world talking to countries about developing our supply chain relations And of course we're very close partners with Europe, with Canada, Mexico, other countries with whom we have free trade areas, but many more countries. We're deepening our relationships with India, with Vietnam, So we want this to be broad. We understand and that the international division of labor with countries taking advantage of the benefits of comparative advantage, doing what you're most efficient at, relatively efficient at that this is a great set of benefits both for the United States and also countries that are given the opportunity to trade and that contributes to their growth. So we don't want to forego that, and we do want to maintain the benefits of globalization, but without the vulnerability that comes from a undue reliance on a few countries that may restrict trade for political or other reasons. So you mentioned broadening our network of friends that we can have partnerships with, but also China I know you took a trip to China and to Beijing this summer. You've been talking about how our policy should really be around de risking or diversifying rather than decoupling. But what do you think is the current status of that. Do you think the Chinese have adopted that and feel like they can trust us on that front, or do you think they still really think that we're in a competition with them first and foremost. So, I mean we've particulated a strategy. As you said, it involves de risking in some areas where we're overly dependent on China, and clean energy is a good example. We also intend to focus on national security. That's an area that we're not willing to compromise on, and so we do have export controls. We continue to review them. We're working on a set of restrictions on outbound and vestment to China. We've discussed this with them and put out a proposal that's in the public domain. I think comments just closed on it. But our objective there is to target what we do as narrowly as possible so that it really focuses on national security. That it is not an intention in that to harm the prospects of Chinese economic development and the welfare of the Chinese people. So we intend to have healthy competition and mutually beneficial trade and investment with China in many areas. I've tried to make this clear. And then importantly, the third prong of it is we need to work together on global problems. Debt relief is one of those problems. Climate changes another, but there are many examples. So that's what we're trying to do in terms of our strategy. You know, President Biden and President she met in Bali. I guess it's just over a year ago. I was at that meeting. In more or less two over two years, almost no senior level contact had taken place during the pandemic between China and the United States, and I think that was a dangerous situation. And especially when there are disagreements, it's actually important to be able to discuss them, to talk through, to see the other country's point of view, and to discuss areas where you're not in sync. And it was recognized by both sides that we needed to talk more to deep in our discussions, exchange of information, and particularly in economic areas macroeconomic performance, financial markets, where our behavior has spillovers a back and forth to one another, and also our decisions affect the global outlook as a whole. And that's what I tried to begin in my meetings that I had in China, and things have continued very positively from there. We've formed two working groups. They report to me and my Chinese counterpart of Phone. One concerns economic matters, the other financial matters. The working groups met earlier this week. Both of them met and we now have a set of very constructive and deepening discussions about areas of mutual concern. And it's good to have contacts throughout our chain. It levels below Secretary staff low full discussions and channels of communication where when the problem arises, each side can pick up the phone and discuss it before it rises to the level of a real, really serious disagreement. So I think this agenda is working. We certainly will continue to deepen our economic relationship and discussions, and I'm feeling very good about how things are going there. Turning back to the US Secretary Yellen, you've described the Biden administration's economic policies as something you referred to as modern supply side economics, and with those policies. They're aiming to increase the productive capacity in the US. That's right, Well, that's a pretty good big goal. So can you talk to me a little bit about how long do you think it's going to take for some of those policies to become entrenched enough that they stick and have a real impact people. And the reason I'm asking is because I'm looking ahead to next year. The election is coming up. What's at stake if the Democrats don't retain the White House in terms of the ability for some of those policies to take hold. So, yes, modern supply side economics, it's in part of growth strategy, and this is something Republicans and Democrats I think share. A desire to see real wages and incomes increase, to see economic welfare for the broad set of Americans to improve over time, and an economic growth or quote supply side strategy. This isn't a matter of demand management. It's a matter of improving our economy's ability to produce goods and services over the medium to long term. I think agree on that it's widely accepted. The Republican strategy has been, as I said, largely a trickle down strategy of giving tax breaks or deregulation to the rich and corporations in the expectation or hope that benefits would trickle down. More broadly, I see that as a failed strategy and one that has really not been successful it creating broad shared prosperity. And I see modern supply side economics as having the same objective but proceeding in a different way. And there are many factors that are inputs into growth besides private investment. For too long we ignored infrastructure. So investing in America's infrastructure as a return produces benefits R and D. You know, we're now really after having decades in which US spending on research and development, certainly at the federal level, had fallen to very low levels. Were no longer one of the leading countries in terms of the resources we devote to R and D. That we've stepped that up substantially in the legislation that's been passed. And what we want is also growth. It's equitable, so addressing inequality as saying, for over fifty years, essentially the median American really saw very little growth, little or no growth in their real income. We want to change that. We want to make sure that opportunities are created, especially for those who don't have a college education and live in places. You know, we've had so much growth on the coasts, but many parts of the country geographies that it seems progress is passed by. And so if you look at the legislation that's been passed and the investment plans that have been announced, we've seen over six hundred billion dollars in new investments that have been announced. Now, it takes a while to get those in place, but look at where are those investments occurring. There are occurring in parts of the country that have not seen that kind of investment. And you know, we're seeing electric vehicle production and battery production in many parts of the country that have been sorely hurting for good jobs. And so it will take a while for Americans to see the benefits of this. But even now, I think many Americans can see the good jobs are being created in manufacturing, which is not done well over decades in the United States. So I believe that opportunities will be created and people will be able to see that over time in their daily lives. No matter what secretary you've been in public service nearly five decades now, holding the it's a long time. It's a lot of working years. As you show the labor economists, I will say that you've held the top economic posts across the CEA, FED and now Treasury. But you're also known as a technocrat and a policy maker rather than a political animal. Per se. When you look at the divisiveness in Washington, and we've just seen the past few weeks, even just on Capitol Hill, are you concerned that there's less and less room for a person like you to come into government in Washington and make a notable difference at the highest levels if you're not as politically driven as policy driven. I guess I see that we have a government that is filled with people who are professional, technically proficient, and dedicated to good policy. And we are trying to put in place good, sound, technically solid government policy in almost everything we do. And in spite of the difficult political environment that we're in, President Biden and Vice President Harris, in the time they have been in office, have succeeded in a bipartisan way in having a great deal of meaningful legislation passed. The Treasury Department. I spend a good share of my time working with very capable people in our tax policy Department. We're charged with writing all of the rules that are governing of the tax incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act. Those that will are really creating enormous opportunities in connection with clean energy, and we've gotten an allocation of funds to restore the Internal Revenue Service, to restore their ability to both serve American customers who deserve to have somebody answered the phone when you when you call and have been missing that for a long time, and also to actually collect the taxes that our tax code says people owe. And when you think about the fact that over over ten years, that gap, namely the quantity of tax revenue that's due but not paid, is estimated it's seven trillion dollars. We're in the process of restoring all of that. And the people who are doing this are a largely a civil service that is tremendously competent, professional and dedicated to making the United States function well. So I think there's plenty of scope for good policy, and I hope we're in the process of doing it in spite of some of the what seems like political dysfunction in our country. Well Secretary Yellen, Thank you so much for joining us today and giving us so much of your time and sharing your insights. It's a true pleasure. Thank you so much. Thanks for having that. Thank you, the Secretary of the US Treasury. They are Jannet Yellen, speaking with our very own Peggy Collins and our Washington BureauSee

Have you ever been coming home from an amazing day and a train delay just ruins it all?  Joining me today is the Executive Pastor of the  Bridge, Brian Nelson. He'll discuss how challenging it was to listen and be humble. Brian loves seeing people meet Christ and grow in their relationship with Him. When he looks out and sees families at The Bridge, who two years ago wouldn't set foot in a church, and now they're worshipping God and their lives are drastically different, that's why he does his job.Brian grew up in the NW suburbs of Chicago and attended this church as a kid.  In his 20's, he lived in Nashville, TN playing music and serving food. In 2007, he became a youth/worship pastor at Harvest Bible Chapel in Jupiter, Florida. In 2010, he joined the staff of The Bridge.  I've served as Adult Pastor and Worship Pastor, and now as Executive  Pastor. He now lives in Des Plaines with his wife  Michele, and their two boys, Caden and Chase.God's the great chess master.  When he moves a pawn somewhere, He will just move another somewhere else. - Brian NelsonConversation TopicsA Faith that doesn't budgeComplainingDiscovering BlindspotsHumility of listeningTrusting GodHow to remove the whineReflection QuestionsMaybe we need to remove the whine.
