1
Gene, thank you for doing this.
2
Gene Fletcher, Ph.D.: Yeah, thrilled to be here.
3
Gene Fletcher, Ph.D.: You've been writing for many years about the American dream and its troubles.
4
It's fraying, it's struggling.
5
What happened?
6
Gene Fletcher, Ph.D.: Yeah.
7
Well, first, put it in context.
8
We have the most prosperous nation the world's ever seen.
9
Decade after decade, almost everyone's done better.
10
However, in like the last 20 or 30 years, if you look at, you know, just the fact like the lower third income is, and it's really there it was focused on,
11
the incomes didn't really go up very much.
12
they struggle more if they if you live in inner cities
13
or a certain rural areas your schools aren't very good i
14
tell a lot of people here you don't go home
15
and worry about crime you don't worry about your kids schools
16
but then they do and it means they don't leave the lower third
17
because you know we we do polling at cbs
18
and you know three out of four people say it's harder today to raise a family buy a home
19
and find a good job yeah no i think
20
that may be true i shouldn't say only the bottom third
21
there's maybe part of the middle uh income segment too so uh but all those those things are fixable.
22
I mean, one of the things I talk about is
23
that we had growth in our country is 2% a year for the last 20 years.
24
Had it been 3%, we've had 20,000 per person more GDP.
25
That would have paid for an awful lot.
26
Why was it only 2%?
27
And I think we have tons of bad policy that we made it worse for growth in America.
28
And growth is what creates everything, capital formation, capital R&D, investment productivity.
29
So if you go to like these inner city schools, They're not teaching kids skills that give them a good paying job.
30
And there are solutions to most of this.
31
But I think it's a wide variety of things that we got wrong.
32
Well, you mentioned capital and growth.
33
There was polling recently that finds only about half the country even has the positive view of capitalism.
34
And more than a third of people have a positive view of socialism.
35
Do you understand why?
36
I'm not sure I do.
37
I just think it's dead wrong.
38
And the fact is capitalism has lifted millions of people out of poverty.
39
like a lot of things that may have flaws.
40
I think I hear a lot of people sometimes talk about the flaws of capitalism.
41
I realize they're talking about the flaws of human beings.
42
Some people are selfish, some are self-centered, some are this, some of that.
43
That's true in a communist society or a capitalist society.
44
Some businesses do bad things, and that's not because of capitalism.
45
And so, you know, we try to have laws and regulations that get the best out of people and, you know, get the worst.
46
But we've been educating people over and over that things are bad.
47
And if you look at them, they're not bad.
48
They're living longer.
49
Everyone's got air conditioning.
50
Cars are safer.
51
But I do think it's become much more of a struggle.
52
And so we really should focus on that.
53
I always ask the question, why?
54
Well, why are inner city schools failing the kids?
55
You could say real estate taxes because they don't have the same taxes to pay for the better schools.
56
How come these schools, like the Aviation High School across the 593 bridge here, these kids graduate at 17 or 18, making $75,000 a year?
57
Because they were given skills to maintain their sedan aircraft.
58
But for a lot of people, it's about how much money they're making.
59
Can they go on vacation every year?
60
Can they expect a better future for their kids?
61
Can they expect a retirement with decency?
62
Can they own a home?
63
These are the core components.
64
When I talk to regular people, we travel all over the country, and you talk to regular people about someone like yourself, a business like this one, doing really well.
65
The real simple question they have is, why couldn't a business like this just take a little less so that other people have it a little bit easier?
66
I don't think that would solve the problem at all.
67
And, you know, we don't, we don't even try to earn a fair return on our capital.
68
We're not trying to take anything with anybody.
69
I think it would solve the problem as we build more affordable housing.
70
The reason we're not building more affordable housing is because local zoning requirements and mortgage origination, mortgage rules that made it so expensive to get a mortgage, we could reduce the cost of that mortgage.
71
I think the way you fix the problem is by fixing the city schools.
72
We already spend a trillion dollars or something like that on K-12.
73
You should be asking this question, the trillion dollars.
74
Why can't it work better?
75
So my view is these programs failed.
76
So why can't we build programs that don't fail?
77
So if the answer to that, why can't we?
78
It's policy.
79
And I think good policy is free.
80
Is it policy or is it politics?
81
That's a good question.
82
I mean, you'd be more of an expert in politics.
83
Definitely not.
84
But I make a list of bad policies like schools.
85
I think we should double the income tax credit.
86
So if you're making $14,000 a year with two children, the government gives you $6,000 or $7,000 at the end of the year.
87
I would make a 10, I'd get rid of the child requirement.
88
So if you're a couple, you're both working, at a minimum you're making $48,000 a year, and it has the virtue of going into their communities by helping schools,
89
get the tutors, maybe buy some more health insurance, the dignity of a job, the first job leads to a second job, and it's got much better social outcomes,
90
more families, less recidivism, less crime, less drugs, less suicide.
91
So we have a lot to do to fix parts of our society.
92
We should get at it and roll up our sleeves and acknowledge what the problems are and fix them.
93
Steve Adubatois How does this initiative that you're announcing today solve it?
94
Dr. Tom Hanks Yeah.
95
So we've always done ...
96
We think our job is to finance society, small businesses, large businesses, individuals, home ownership.
97
We're more of the biggest in the country across the full spectrum.
98
But we ask our own people, And when we have the problem, I always ask, okay, got it.
99
What are you going to do?
100
And so we ask the people around the Euphraim, American Dream, what can we do more?
101
And we have that long-lived small business.
102
We're going to go from banking $7 million to $10 million.
103
We have our small business consultants.
104
So if you're a small business and you want to know where to build your second restaurant, how to negotiate a contract, we have people who can consult for that now.
105
We have 1,000 small business bankers.
106
Now all 48 states.
107
We have a rural state strategy, which we did not have before.
108
We're going to do skills.
109
So I just mentioned about schools and things like that.
110
We're going to do 25% of our branch are in lower income neighborhoods.
111
And we have, we call community branches.
112
Some of them, we invite people in to learn about saving money with some mortgage, buying a house.
113
We call them vital institutions where we, we're probably one of the largest banks in the country to cities, schools, states, hospitals, but to do more of that.
114
We're one of the biggest affordable lenders in the country.
115
We're going to do more of that.
116
So it's just kind of, we're going to make it a crusade to do our part, to do more for this part of America, try to help lift up all society.
117
This particular moment in time, people are already feeling the pain, and now we've got a war in the Middle East that's driving up costs for diesel fuel,
118
for gas, that trickles into all kinds of other things.
119
Where do you see this going economically?
120
I don't know.
121
The economy is one big, complex beast, and even AI can't figure it out.
122
I tell people anything that happens is like I strung the camel's back.
123
So maybe one day a straw is going to cause that tipping point and push us through a recession, hopefully not to deflation.
124
So the war is a couple of straws in their camel's back.
125
Whether that causes a tipping point, I don't know.
126
I think what's more important for the future of the world is that this war will successfully conclude.
127
I hear a lot of people on TV talking about it wasn't an imminent threat.
128
No, it wasn't a threat at all.
129
They were actually killing and murdering people around the world for the last 47 years.
130
They have a ballistic missile that can go 3,000 miles, which I think was a surprise to the American public.
131
And they were very close to having nuclear weapons.
132
You know, so that's really important.
133
Obviously, you know, the gas prices are going to hurt, you know, some folks.
134
It's very unfortunate.
135
So the sooner it gets properly resolved, the better.
136
So the people who feel like we're already in a recession to them, you say, no, we're not.
137
No, I think it is for them.
138
I know it's for them.
139
Oh, absolutely.
140
I mean, there are parts of society that are not doing very well.
141
And I completely acknowledge that that.
142
The war is at a crossroads.
143
Iran continues to control the Strait of Hormuz.
144
Does America need to take control of that Strait, reopen it before the war ends?
145
I don't know the answer to that question.
146
You said finish the job earlier, complete it is what you said.
147
Yeah, I have to be a little humble here.
148
I don't know what the military knows.
149
I do know they're quite smart.
150
So you speak to some of these folks, they've been planning this for years.
151
They've got multiple plans on the book to do things, including Card Island, Strait of Hormuz, I think it's going to be hard to leave and have the Strait of Hormuz closed.
152
I do think it would be a real problem for the global economy.
153
Because Iran would have a veto power over traffic.
154
Basically, yeah.
155
But when you said the biggest threat now is that the war isn't completed, what do you mean by that?
156
What do you have in mind?
157
Well, I think I've thought this since the war in Ukraine started, that the world is not a safe place.
158
It never was, we call it, lulled into a false sense of security until the Russians invaded Ukraine.
159
At that point, we already knew that, you know, Russia, Iran, North Korea, somewhat aided, embedded by China, have different plans for the free and democratic world.
160
Let's talk about affordable housing, one of the key parts of this initiative of yours.
161
There's a plan right now in Congress to potentially prevent large investors from buying up single-family homes.
162
Do you support a ban on that kind of investment?
163
I hate to tell you this, it's basically irrelevant.
164
It's not I think they're doing it at 350 homes.
165
Only 1% of the homes are owned by what you would call large companies.
166
So I don't think it's going to change any calculus.
167
I'm not sure it's great because some people want to rent their homes or not, so they go in, they put in money.
168
I probably wouldn't do it, but if it gets done, it's okay.
169
If you want to fix affordable housing, you can change rules and regulations around mortgages
170
that would reduce the cost of mortgages by 30 or 40 basis points and not create any additional risk, in my view.
171
And take affordable housing laws mostly local, sometimes state, and you know, don't lord them with job programs, let people build them.
172
You know, they're, if you read the list of ridiculous rules why it can't get done,
173
you can build a lot more starter homes and starter apartments that people could buy a lot cheaper all over the country.
174
And there are some people doing it well.
175
I can send you the list of what cities have got it together and they're building stuff.
176
And like in California, I think I read, it's 50% more to build, quote, an affordable home than it is in Nevada because of those rules and regulations.
177
So there's a lot of things to do to fix it.
178
That's what we should be doing.
179
That'll make a much bigger difference than limiting, you know, big private equity guys can do.
180
Let's talk about AI.
181
You've talked a lot about it in recent months.
182
You've admitted that it could reduce jobs, and it could reduce jobs across the economy somewhat quickly, too quickly.
183
How concerned are you really about the potential for, as you put it, social unrest, even revolution?
184
Yeah.
185
So this is where I put it.
186
In the context for all of us, I believe that 30 years from now, a lot of people, your kids are probably working three and a half days a week.
187
They'll probably live to 100, and a lot of the diseases afflicted a lot of us, they won't get.
188
They'll be cured to cancer, cars will be safer, planes will be safer, life will be better, you can hike more, do all the things you do.
189
You're talking about the Jetsons from the 1960s.
190
Walter Cronkite anchored a special about how the future that we're living in right now was supposed to be what you're saying.
191
No, this is going to happen.
192
I mean, the world is getting very productive.
193
AI is going to do that.
194
AI is going to jerk answers.
195
It's going to come with better materials.
196
It'll cure a lot of, stop a lot of car crashes.
197
And so I think that is happening, okay?
198
It's going to happen.
199
The risk is if it is too fast.
200
Right.
201
I don't know if it's going to be too fast.
202
Here's my mind.
203
My mind is that there's a risk for it, so it's planned for it.
204
So if it happens, we're more prepared.
205
That's what I'm saying.
206
How seriously do you worry that AI could sweep through the job market so quickly that society takes a real hit?
207
I think there's some risk to that.
208
I think, shoot, again, my view about risk isn't to guess what's going to happen, is to look at the range of possibilities and say, can you handle them, and what would you do if?
209
So, if you're in my show, I always talk about that.
210
Here's the range.
211
Here's a range of possibilities.
212
I may put different odds out of it than you do, but I want to be prepared for it anyway.
213
And so, you know, it's the good and the bad, because I'm not trying to do just one.
214
So, I do think AI in the long run will create huge benefits for society.
215
If it causes a problem in the short run, let's be prepared.
216
The reason I lag around this is
217
because there are millions of people in the middle of their life with young kids, aging parents.
218
Maybe they have a mortgage if they're lucky, and they're looking at potentially being AI'd out of existence professionally.
219
What do you say to those people?
220
I think we live in the most prosperous nation the world's ever seen.
221
And for the most part, we've had a tech a lot of disruption.
222
The system worked to create new jobs and new labor.
223
There's tons of shortages in labor.
224
So I go to talk to all these companies, too, and you should ask them.
225
They don't have enough welders.
226
There's not enough cyber.
227
There's not enough, in certain parts, not enough advanced manufacturing.
228
There's not enough metric.
229
We're doing the security resiliency initiative.
230
One of the people says, I don't need the plant.
231
I need people who can work on the plant and I don't have that.
232
So there are solutions that we should worry about.
233
Is what's worried.
234
And I, and I am sympathetic for people worried about that.
235
We government and business collaborating should come up with solutions.
236
You know, to cry and spill milk.
237
Is it going to fix it?
238
Solutions might fix it.
239
That's a tough diagnosis for a 45-year-old who's thinking about it.
240
I agree.
241
I didn't think it would be okay, but you must be prepared.
242
You grew up in Queens, a jungle gym not far from here.
243
I think we can probably see it from the window.
244
Yeah.
245
For the kid in Queens now, or in a similar neighborhood anywhere in the country, what does that kid mean to know?
246
What do you teach a child today to prepare them for this world we're talking about that's going to exist?
247
Okay.
248
I'll answer that.
249
I'm not sure if that's right.
250
Talk to everybody.
251
Have deep curiosity about the world.
252
Read opinion writers on the left and the right.
253
Learn to think all the time.
254
And then learn to have EQ.
255
EQ to me is, can I communicate?
256
Do I have heart?
257
Do people trust me?
258
Can I, you know, that great thing, I saw such a long letter and I didn't have time to write a short one.
259
Yeah, yeah.
260
Learn to do the short one.
261
Learn to travel.
262
Learn to open your eyes.
263
Don't get weaponized.
264
Don't always think you know.
265
And when you work with people, you know, you see sports teams, you've seen when teams are humming, they're all working together.
266
Learn to do that.
267
As opposed to pound your chest, it's all about you.
268
Learn to have a work ethic.
269
Learn to have a purpose.
270
All those things.
271
You have a great life.
272
Those are the things.
273
Their lives are going to be more complex than ours were, basically, or younger, because I think they will have more jobs than we had.
274
They'll move around a little bit more.
275
I think they'll have great lives.
276
But learning, I think, is probably still the number one thing to do.
277
It sounds like another way of saying, get off your phone.
278
I would say that, yes.
279
I've always loved my kids.
280
Like that is not going to make you smarter.
281
Though a lot of them now read newspapers on their phones and things.
282
Yeah, well, my 16-year-old feels like he's going to business school because he's getting fed the algorithm business tips.
283
I don't think it's working.
284
It's not the same thing.
285
Let's talk about prediction markets, since we're looking into the future.
286
Can you imagine J.P.
287
Morgan being involved in prediction markets, taking positions in them?
288
Maybe.
289
We've just to start to ask this question.
290
So for example, when you buy stocks, you know, I'd really pick, you know, high book value, high risk, fast P growth, all these various things.
291
You could do the same thing in a prediction market on a JP Morgan.
292
Like I want to be an owner if they do X, I don't want to be an owner if they do Y.
293
So you're dividing a stock into little pieces.
294
So it's possible one day we'll do something like that.
295
We're not going to be in sports.
296
We're not going to be in politics or a bunch of stuff we won't do.
297
And obviously we have strict rules around insider information.
298
You cannot use insider information at all for any reason, including prediction markets.
299
We're going to make that clear to where people are here.
300
We're studying this about how this is going to work.
301
It is kind of an amazing development.
302
It is an amazing development.
303
I mean, because for a lot of people, they look at it and they think it's just a, it's gambling, basically.
304
You don't see it that way.
305
Well, no, people have been gambling forever.
306
I mean, you probably bet in sports games in your kid.
307
No, when you were a kid, you probably bet on poker in your kid and you might have bet with a friend who can win the presidential elections.
308
It's been going on a long time.
309
People, every country I've ever been in, people gamble.
310
Some people, I have a brilliant friend who does the horses, and he is brilliant.
311
And I'm like, why are you doing that?
312
He likes it.
313
You find it very intellectually challenging.
314
So I'm not against it.
315
I'm against it if it's an addiction that ruins your life type thing.
316
I'm a little bit of a libertarian.
317
You have the right to do what you want the way you want.
318
Just take care of yourself.
319
But I get what I'm asking is there's a prediction market more like gambling or is it more like investing?
320
I think for the most part we like gambling, but there are areas where you can say no,
321
it's investing You you you were deeply knowledgeable You're taking the other side of a bet and you think you're you know, you know better than the other person Yeah,
322
let's talk about remote work one of your favorite subjects.
323
I know you're not a fan I know why you're not a fan, but is it based on your own experience?
324
Is it anecdotal?
325
What kind of data are you looking at suggesting being in the office is really better?
326
Yeah.
327
So we've always allowed, we've always had 10% of people working remote.
328
I'm not against remote.
329
Okay.
330
And, and it works.
331
Like we have virtual call centers now in Baltimore and Detroit that are excellent.
332
So I'm not against it.
333
I'm against it where it doesn't work for the company and the clients or the individual involved.
334
And also they get in a free market.
335
You could build a company and go all remote.
336
and I could build a company and say, go to the office.
337
There's nothing more of that either.
338
We said in the office because, and I'll give you a couple of examples, for younger people, it's an apprenticeship system.
339
You learned your skill because you probably were a young reporter helping someone do other stuff, watching how they handled issues, watching how they handled tough questions,
340
watching, it's an apprentice system.
341
We saw people, when they weren't coming in, younger kids, kind of being left behind.
342
They weren't developing their EQ as much.
343
They didn't have as many friends.
344
They didn't have much knowledge they weren't being assigned stuff.
345
In fact, someone went so far to say to me, we shouldn't allow some of these kids to come in because it's unfair.
346
And I'm saying, really?
347
You're going to tell the kids they can't have an ambition?
348
And so then management, and this is the big one to me, for any manager, I want to be accessible to my people.
349
I'm accessible all the time.
350
This remote thing, what happens is people say, well, I can't get him.
351
He's doing here.
352
And I was calling people up and they say, well, he's out.
353
Tony's out on a walk or call his cell phone.
354
And then it also creates, in my view, a lot of politics when you're on Hollywood squares, instead of having a direct conversation, I could say, that's not what I thought.
355
And exactly why people are on their phone, they're texting, they're watching a movie.
356
And it became outrageous to me.
357
And eventually I said, we're just not allowing it anymore.
358
But is that a thing?
359
We do allow some.
360
And flexibility is a perfectly reasonable thing.
361
So we learn in COVID that flexibility is great.
362
So we allow much more flexibility, particularly for caregivers, mothers, fathers, thinking of an older parent or something like that.
363
But we think we're going to run a better business, do a better job for customers, share more information.

It's a free market.

If you don't want to do it with my company, don't.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
