Up, the coming tonstein companys battle repair its reputation after Harvey Weinstein is fired over Sexual Harassment allegations. This is bloomberg. Julia this is bloomberg markets. The continued fallout from Harvey Weinsteins Sexual Harassment admissions continue to reverberate throughout hollywood. Othersr of actresses and were subjected to his advances. In light of new information about misconduct, the directors of the Weinstein Company have informed Harvey Weinstein his employment is terminated immediately. Let us bring in bloombergs reporter from los angeles. What we think happened over the last few days . People thought he would take a leave of absence and he would be reintroduced in the coming months. Firstly, there was some suggestion the company didnt have that much time this story was coming. Reports have been going on for decades. All those executives werent aware. Behavior thatthe has been a legend is a bit more is a bit alleged more gruesome than initially thought when the times story ran this week. One account from a college and reporter is pretty learned. From a Television Reporter is pretty lurid. The board reacted by terminating him. Maker, the one that is known for making and breaking careers. This is the conversation taking place in hollywood. There have been few people willing to speak up against him. Saturday night live didnt feature any skit making fun of him. Latenight talk shows have tackled this. But there are few people pulling to stand up publicly willing to stand up publicly. Anousha people are starting to, after pressure. People have said, everyone knew. I dont know everyone knew the degree of his behavior. I spoke with dealmakers in hollywood this morning. Not asnstein company is relevant as it once was. He is still an important figure films,s of oscarwinning the best quality films that hollywood produces. A very toughle, dealmaker. He doesnt have fans everywhere. Point, you can cross the line when it comes to workplace misconduct. He was more powerful them the people speaking against him for a long time. People powerful than the speaking against him. If you come out against this kind of behavior in the movie industry, this can affect you for the rest of your career. We have seen this in other areas of media and business. Julia why now . If this has been going on for decades, is it because Box Office Receipts have been a bit softer . Acclaim. D critical but the finances of his Production Company have not always been there. That why these women have decided to come forward, because he is not as financially powerful . In a probability. But he has denied some of the allegations. He has said some this is unfair reporting. But this company is less relevant. People arent spending the amount of money they used to happy movies. Vies. Ey used to at the mogv there is also a lot of competition from digital players, which werent around when weinstein was making his name. Powerful. It is a question we cant answer. There is definitely an acceleration that is happened. It feels like it is in the timing. Thank you so much.

Scarlet much more on comments from bill ackman this hour. He says one of his hardest jobs is predicting what college kids will be disrupting next. This is bloomberg. Scarlet this is bloomberg markets. Trumps wereent affords with a Senate Republican make, locate the tax reform efforts. The tax reformte efforts. I think the real channel is the corporate side. Cuts in the corporate rate will increase investment and productivity. The tax cuts wont pay for itself. Owth will pay for part of it. Not all of it. Sides are talking past each other. Centers of the debate are growth and wages. Lower Corporate Tax and higher wages. Be the case that corporations are waiting for tax cuts to make that investment . When they be investing now . Wouldnt they be investing now . Companies are concerned about the future states of growth in the economy. If you can tell me about growth, i can tell you everything. Thenesses are afraid economy is stuck in slow growth mode. This can change that investment inside the United States as well as abroad. But one that demand come from people spending money but wont that demand come from people spending money than tax cuts . Personal tax reform is a very good idea. That effect is going to be there. Paypay forms how do you for cuts and marginal raise . That is where im afraid the disagreement is. The effective tax breaks for most industries is 21. 2 on average. Energies and Consumer Staples have a higher tax rate. Why do we even need it . The incremental investment is at the marginal tax rate. The average tax rate is what drives business decisions. Shouldnt have Different Industries facing different tax treatments. Why the Business Community has been pretty united on the prospect of tax reform. Can those smaller and Mediumsized Enterprises really move the dollar on the productivity story in the u. S. Economy . Smaller businesses would benefit from the cut to individual marginal rates. They would help the productivity needle move through dynamism. The key to tax reform is the business tax reform. Politics have gotten a little bit out of sorts. Demographics and productivity has to be the story to get growth. The message in washington is that we can get up to 2. 9 over 10 years. When do you think of gdp can get when you think gdp can get to a sustainable level . It would require more than tax reform. In 2006 forecasted only a modest decline in Labor Force Participation over the next decade. Better Public Policy can fix that. That is about more than this tax bill. The need to pay for this. I would be wildly optimistic on capitol hill i wouldnt be wildly optimistic on capitol hill. If you had to choose between tax cuts and not going with the tax code, what would you pick . It is important for this bill to be paid for. The nation cant keep adding debt. The components of tax cuts matter. Congress needs to do something smaller to make everything fit. That was the dean of columbia business school. Lingeringd, oil is 50 a barrel. The commodities close is next. Scarlet from bloomberg World Headquarters in midtown manhattan, this is bloomberg markets. Commodity markets are closing in new york. More needs to be done according chief, who says extraordinary measures may need to be taken to restore stability going forward. Start, more than 90 of Oil Production was halted because of the hurricanes. Gas may quickly rebound. , up by 8 10 of 1 . The dogmatic standoff between u. S. And turkey escalated. Trump is saying only one thing work after years of diplomacy. When asked what that meant, he said, you will see. The battle with adp is front and center. Mandated . Re the board would have to have a serious change of heart to make a settlement. The board would have to have a serious change ofas it standsm for compromise. Bill ackman usually has something to announce. 28 percent of the stock is held by retail investors. Webcasts holding this at 7 p. M. , great for our d eadlines. He wants people to go home, have dinner, get on this call and ask questions. This is designed for retail investors. Julia what has been the push back from current investors . Out. Liant stands a 4 billion loss. Saying, that is not coming up. Adp. Are concerned about could this company the run better be run better . Scarlet when it comes to other phize on whatso else is going on. What does he say about disruption . He thought inflation was going to be hindered by technological advancement. Uber has allowed people to work from 27 p. M. It is going to have a dramatic impact on the broader economy. He says kevin warsh. Will be the Federal Reserve chair. Julia he thinks it is the right pick . Apparently. Scarlet let us talk about proctor and gamble. You are monitoring this company as well. E board seat. Julia the opposite tactic. Scarlet what is going on . Owns three . 5 billion worth of proctor and gamble stock. The company has performed well. More deceits are more difficult seatsrd seats four are more difficult. One is less of an ask. Julia the board is not going to lose someone if he joins . That is giving them an awkward situation to push back against. Anousha they have pushed they have pushed back. They say he lacks the necessary experience. He doesnt have the technological background, which they think is important. Sm and bigall ask small asked and big push back. Scarlet but the company has adopted. You cant say it hasnt had an impact. These boards have dug their hells in heels in, and quietly implemented all of these things suggested. Scarlet thank you so much. Lets get the headlines on bloomberg first word news with Mark Crumpton.

Global news, 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. I am Mark Crumpton. This is bloomberg. We were talking about blade runner. Scarlet the sequel. Julia i havent been to the cinema this year. Movie,didnt see this that might be part of the problem. On the tracking down box office. The dragging down box office. From new york, this is bloomberg. Julia this is bloomberg markets. Scarlet it is time for the stock of the hour. Were looking at amp. This is on the back of a poor opening weekend. 2049. Runner i can go to see this movie. Not many people as were expecting. The box office is still underwhelming. This is the revival of the 1982 film that became a cult classic. Amcs stock has been hit the worst, but all the theater stocks are down. It really surprised analysts. It had opened to good reviews. Everyone thought it would be a faithful reinterpretation. Of the things, it is a long movie. Two hours and 43 minutes. Box sets are a whole different thing. That is what were seeing is the problem. Scarlet you cant show the movie as many times. Julia it does mark the end of the summer blockbuster season. There seems to be fatigue. Well. R woman, did pretty we havea a chart which shows how much was taken in the box office. 3. 8 billion. It has been consistently above 4 billion since 2010. When they posted earnings in august, they said 30 theird third and Fourth Quarter could be tough. Julia there is still time. President trump is removing renewing calls for a border wall in exchange for protections for young, undocumented immigrants. We have the new York Democratic representative here. Thank you for joining us. This is a very harsh proposal. Away the little bit of hope for dreamers. The dreamers may be safe, but the parents could be reported. Do you see President Trumps demands as an opening bid to start negotiations . I think very dark forces in the country are trying to push this agenda. Punishing sanctuary cities like new york. Children should be able to go to School Without fear of being deported. Unaccompanied minors. He says we have to deport ms13, but he says he wants to send unaccompanied minors back to those countries. Their lives would be in danger. This is a very harsh proposal. He has come out with a pretty hard line. Immigration reform does need to happen. I overstayed my visa and now i am a member of congress. Randparent cannot petition for her grandparent or son or daughter. Had this been in place in 1964, i wouldnt be here talking to you as a congressman. Julia by overstaying your visa, did you break the law . I was nine years old. I came here with parents who were trying to make better for our family. And making a country a better place for all of us to live. They may die if they go back to central america. Send them back with ms13 . The president is not making headway. Scarlet how do you want to see nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer move this conversation . Rep. Espaillat they said this is unacceptable. This is not what they spoke about. Ball was not part of the the wall was not part of the discussion. It doesnt make any sense to deport the parents. Negotiators. But they came out of the shadows. 10,000 new agents to deport their parents. Julia do think this is betraying the dreamers . Rep. Espaillat this is certainly a wrench. If not betrayal. We wanted to discuss the dream act on the house floor from the very beginning. 200 members of congress are cosponsors. Linda sanchez, the number five democrats in the house, says it is time for nancy pelosi to pass the torch. What do you think . Rep. Espaillat we are at a critical juncture in american politics. There are very radical ideas being discussed from both sides. You need someone at the helm that has experience. We have to go with someone that will be able to understand the details of negotiations. Is there any part of this you would be willing to accept if you were trying to find a compromise . Rep. Espaillat we have never said we didnt want any straight at the border. Border. Gth at the security at airports is very weak and antiquated. Airports need to have stateoftheart facilities that allow for all kinds of supervision. We are supportive of that. A lot of the illegal weapons and weapons and drugs comes through those ports. Scarlet thank you to the new York Democratic representative. Coming up, the Sexual Harassment storm in hollywood and Silicon Valley. We will talk about a dialogue for reforming work for Workplace Culture. This is bloomberg. Julia this is bloomberg markets. Scarlet allegations of Sexual Harassment are ramping up, whether it is hollywood or Silicon Valley. That is putting pressure on companies. Talk, bloombergs talk about diversity in the workforce, i got perspective. I spoke i interviewed Women Leaders at the sooner than you think conference. Have thepen to thatity of partners are women. 50 of the investors are women. Female ceo,e a engineering teams are often more diverse. When you have more diversity at every level, it corrects itself. Efforts people are doing are critical in terms of the pipeline. Diversity the gets diversity begets diversity. Is all aboutpital recognizing patterns. You were having a problem if you are only recognizing your own pattern. The Tech Industry has moved beyond that. Absolutely. At cornell tech, if you expose students to the power of diverse absolutely. Teams, they prefer to work in more diverse teams. That is diversity across the type of programs students are in. Intersciences would rather work separately. It is harder to figure out how they can collaborate. When they see how powerful it is to have a team of people with different experience and background, when you get that kind of a team to work together, you get unbelievably High Performance that has a much better outcome than the team that has a lone genius. The more we can give those , that those experiences is where the power comes from. We need those teams in the industry that have those diverse backgrounds in terms of training and world experience. It used to be the worlds greatest challenges were solved mostly through nonprofits and government. People are turning to technology. Leverages want to technology. When you are tackling the worlds greatest challenges, you need to be more stable. That is why we think it is so critical. I know that you i know that you believe in technology as well. Does this solve the problem . This does not. Think we are to the change makers when we talk about technology. Change be driven on many different levels. Change should be the social and political impact. Art and media all of these places where we see people doing work is important to solving problems. I wanted to point out the industry looks at diversity through a gender lens. Diversity and inclusion is intersectional. If you only look at diversity by adding more women, you are missing the mark. Until we look at this in a more broad context in understand why institution audi matters, we wont see the changes why i t stitutionality matters, we wont see changes. Up, an interview with the Los Angeles Clippers owner. 3 00 p. M. In new york, tokyo p. M. In san francisco, it 00 p. M. In london. Scarlet welcome to bloomberg markets. Julia we are live in bloomberg World Headquarters in new york over the next hour. Here are the top stories we are covering on the bloomberg and around the world. We will have an interview with the former microsoft ceo in a few moments. His take on tax or farm, immigration, and why he wants quicker action. Are we getting closer to a new fed chair . The white house is set to be looking for leaders willing to roll back, and knowledge of how to run a big organization. An adviser to the fed gives us his take this hour. This years nobel prize in economics, a look at his remarkable work and its impact on Economic Policy this hour. We are one hour from the close of trading. Lets get a check on markets with abigail doolittle. We have shifted a little bit to the downside. This is we have had to decline, they may be small, but breaking a bit of a winning streak. The s p 500 was actually down friday for a second in a row. Weeks of gains, small decline. Even so, both the dow and nasdaq have managed to put in alltime highs. Declines could reflect the fact that supply of trading for the columbus day holiday. We are approaching earnings season, investors not having much of conviction going into this. The worst sector on the day is health care. We are looking at some of the managedcare names, especially humana, down 2. 7 . Downgraded at j. P. Morgan to neutral. There is no repeal and replace that could have added 20 humanas earnings. We also have weakness for th news that President Trump may sign an order to loosen obamacare. That maybe something that creates uncertainty. One name benefiting up a percent is Health Insurance innovation. The factd be based on that a reversal rule on shortterm insurance could benefit the company. Health care down today. The second worst sector the financials. Goldman sachs cut to a neutral, plus some of these banks report some investors may be wondering what is ahead when we see some of the fixed income trading issues that we saw in the previous quarter. Earnings overall have been revised down to the Financial Sector. Btv take a look at g 1961, this is since the beginning of july. Right as the overall Financial Sector earnings provisions, down 1. 4 . The composition of it is awaited for insurance and purple. They are actually expected to be revised up 1 and diversified down a little bit. This picture is an interesting one, telling us that the financial earnings have been revised. That is something that some say make make it me to pull and even beatable. Scarlet lower the bar, and you can beat it. Technologys emily chang at sign down with an exclusive interview with Los Angeles Clippers owner steve ballmer. From launched our platform the government about the government, no fake news, no alternative facts, we lost on texted. We keep the interest tax day. We keep the information current. The thing we are doing, we are trying to help citizens really run through topics of the day. We have a walkthrough that will walk you through the president s budget in the context of what has happened historically. What does the gdp look like, what does tax revenue look like, the deficit, how does all of that compare . We make sure people can walk through and look at these government proposals in the context of the past. And then be able to say does this make sense to me are not . We have a video that goes with it that will explain to citizens this is the set of data and the way to think about how you think about Something Like the Budget Proposal . I know you now know these facts better than almost anyone, taxur lawmakers talk about reform and health care, do you have any advice . In a way i do. These things are holistic issues. We look at tax reform, the budgets, health care. When you look at the economics of these three things, they are just like this. What does it mean to have a budget without tax reform . Im not condemning in but anybody, you have to have a tax plan in order to have a budget. It just doesnt make sense. One of the biggest pieces of expenses is health care. How do these understanding how these things meshed together would be a key piece of advice that i would give decisionmakers, legislators, and executive. This is an age of misinformation, of fake news, how big a problem is that and whats the responsibility of these platforms . I think this notion of people being able to be fed whatever is going to make them feel good thats what people are doing,. They want to feed whatever the instincts are. The goal has to be to say this is how it looks. You can see it anyway how you want to, but you have to come and be able to take a look at stuff objectively. Thats not facebook job, they are not in the news business, they pass along other peoples news. Thingspart of the issue, can look authentic. Oll, peoplect p said i find my information most often on social media and trusted the least. Do think facebook and twitter should be policing the smart or thats not their job, . Cants not their job, they they cant. There needs to be something equivalent of authenticated news on twitter where you get the little bullet that says you are who you say you are. It would be nice to have authenticated sources so that people could say i really want to see not just what the crowd is saying, but i want to hear from authentic. Sources. What if that information isnt coming from the crowd . Is the problem , president the one spreading misinformation . We elected the president , he is our president and chief. I know there are people who have problems with that, and people who are supportive, when he speaks, at least hes speaking authentically for himself. In a sense, that is a set of facts. When a policy leader speaks, you can say its true, its not, you like it, you dont like it, its what hes thinking. Every voter probably benefits by having the ability to hear it directly, just as we hear directly from other people. I get a chance to speak directly on the internet, lebron james gets a chance, not everybody wants to hear what people say to one another. They dont always agree, certainly weve seen that with lebron and the president. There are some who say the president is taking it to another level, perhaps even citing nuclear war on twitter. Should he be kicked off of twitter . Should he be allowed to make these statements on twitter . Everybody has the right to speak for themselves. That includes the president of the United States. Everybody has the right to speak for themselves, thats in the fundamental nature of this country, its an important one. The citizens have an obligation to elect the people who they think will best represent their interests. That gets a chance to get Battle Tested every two years, every four years. People have to constantly prove themselves, and if people are doing things that are not valued, that will come across. If people are doing things that are valued. The way our system works, it doesnt take 100 to win, it takes logically 51 to win. People have a right to hear directly in their as they cast their ballot. You ran microsoft for many years, do you have any concerns about the stance of the president on things like daca . I think immigration is an important thing, my dad was an immigrant, my grandparents on the other side were immigrants. I value the fact that immigrants come into this country. I think it is hugely important, its not something just important 100 years ago, it remains important. In terms of hightech workers coming in, it remains important in terms of people moving back and forth across our southern border. There are complicated issues, there are issues to national security, there are also issues of economy and fundamental humanity. I do think its important to look at all of those things, including humanity, as we address the plight of the daca issues. You are a big investor in twitter, do you have your entire stake . I continue to have a decent sized steak. What is your take on how they are running the company and dealing with these issues . They are driving forward, like anything that i been involved with, faster is always good. I would love to see more better faster. More better of what . More better product, earnings, revenue, improvements in cost structure. Thats not a specific criticism, its a general view that things need to move even faster. They are doing things the right way, they are headed the right direction. Im in as an investor. The other issues are interesting. Far, they are very difficult, they are controversial, they need to be dealt with in conjunction with legislators and other people who are shining a light on the social media issues. What about the hate and online abuse . Should they be taking a harder line . I think there is stuff that is wholly inappropriate. I believe in free speech, but there is a point in which that becomes unreasonable. Whether its twitter, facebook, or any other form of expression, there is a line that once crossed, you need to make sure that you are appropriately moving that out of the public sphere.

He spoke with Bloomberg Television last year about finding opportunities by predicting. We dont try to forecast the earnings of some firm. We try to forecast the errors in other peoples forecasts. Were if we try to forecast earnings, we will make the same mistake as everybody else. Its like watching a baseball game, and theres a picture who pitchetr you can predict the batter is going to throw had a lot of ground balls. We can predict the kinds of mistakes that other investors will make, then find good opportunities. Scarlet that was richard baylor, university of Chicago Business professor and this years recipient of the nobel prize in economics. Reading his book, when i was struck by was the idea of the basis of his thinking that people are not perfectly rational. As soon as you depart from rational behavior, that could have huge outcomes.
