1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News.

2
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here

3
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 3: Karen, we begin with two words that start with tea,

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 3: Trump and tariffs. President Trump says he would prefer not

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 3: to impose tariffs on China. It's a softening compared to

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 3: his pre election thread of sixty percent additional import taxes.

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,959
Speaker 4: Trump spoke with Fox News Channel's Handity, we have.

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 5: One very big power over China, and that's tariffs, and.

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 6: They don't want them, and I'd rather not have to

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 6: use it.

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 3: President Trump has floated the idea of ten percent tariffs

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: on China from next month, but so far has stopped

14
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 3: short of imposing them on Beijing.

15
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 4: In his first days in office.

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 2: Well, Nathan, President Trump reiterated as tariffs threats in a

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: virtual speech to the World Economic Forum and Davos, and

18
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: he said he'll demand that Saudi Arabia and Opek and

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: bring down the cost of oil.

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 6: You got to bring it down, which, frankly, I'm surprised

21
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 6: they didn't do before the election. That didn't show a

22
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 6: lot of love by them not doing it. I was

23
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 6: a little surprised by that if the price came down,

24
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 6: the rush of Ukraine war would end immediately.

25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: Those are marks when President Trump sent oil prices lower,

26
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: though it's unclear whether Opek will heed his call, and

27
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: the President said he would not stop there.

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 6: With oil prices going down, I'll demand that interest rates

29
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 6: drop immediately, and likewise they should be dropping all over

30
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 6: the world. Interest rates should follow us.

31
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: And in a surprise broadside, President Trumpec used a Bank

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: of America CEO Brian moynihan of limiting business with conservative clients,

33
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: telling him quote, I hope you start opening your bank

34
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,919
Speaker 2: to conservatives, because what you're doing is wrong.

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: And on the topic of interest rates, Karen, President Trump

36
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 3: said he'll speak with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell about

37
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 3: lowering rates at the quote right time. The President spoke

38
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 3: to reporters while signing executive orders in the Oval Office.

39
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 5: I think I know interest rates much better than they do,

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 5: and I think I know it's certainly much better than

41
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 5: the one who's primarily in charge of making that decision.

42
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 5: But no, I'm guided by them very much. But if

43
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 5: I disagree, I will let it be known.

44
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: President Trump spoke ahead of the first rate decision of

45
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five for J.

46
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: Powell and the FED that's coming up next week.

47
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: Well, Nathan, Senators may be working through the weekend to

48
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 2: get President Trump's cabinet appointees confirmed. Do we get that

49
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: story with bloomberge Dina Servetti.

50
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 7: So far, just two of Trump's picks have cleared, the

51
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 7: Senate Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe.

52
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 7: But Defense nominee Pete Hegsith cleared a key procedural hurdle

53
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 7: yesterday despite opposition from two Republicans. He's set for a

54
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 7: final confirmation vote tonight. If the Senate sticks around this weekend,

55
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 7: it could vote on Scott Bessant for Treasury Secretary and

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 7: Christy Nome to lead Homeland Security. Other nominees, including Robert F. Kennedy,

57
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 7: Junior Tulci Gabbard, and Cash Pateel have here set for

58
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 7: next week. Gina Cervetti Bloomberg Radio.

59
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 4: Gina, thank you.

60
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 3: President Trump's pledge to keep TikTok operational in the US

61
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: is being handled differently by different tech giants. Bloomberg's John

62
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: Tucker's here with more on that story. So John sounds

63
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 3: like there's a little bit of confusion out there.

64
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 8: To say the least.

65
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 9: Nathan Apple and Google they remove the app from their

66
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 9: respective app stores to comply with the January nineteenth van,

67
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 9: and they've held off on relisting TikTok. The app's been

68
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 9: unavailable for the past five days, even after Trump's pledge

69
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 9: that the government won't enforce the law that raised potential penalties. Oracle,

70
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 9: on the other hand, they have kept TikTok operational. Oracle

71
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 9: provides cloud services for TikTok and lawmakers and other Washington insiders.

72
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 9: They have raised concerns even with a nod for Donald Trump.

73
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 9: The critics argue the company could open itself up to

74
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 9: lawsuits from current shareholders and massive fines from a future

75
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 9: administration that may want to retroactively enforce those penalties. There's

76
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 9: also the possibility that Donald Trump could change his mind

77
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 9: on enforcement. In New York, I'm John Tucker Bloomberg Radio.

78
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: All right, John, thank you well. President Trump is heading

79
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: to hurricane battered Western and North Carolina and wildfire ravaged

80
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. Meanwhile, firefighters across southern California are making progress

81
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 2: battling new blazes that were fanned by gusty wins. The

82
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: new wildfires come a week's after other blazes killed twenty

83
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: eight people, displaced thousands, and destroyed more than sixteen thousand structures.

84
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 2: A forecast of rain this weekend is offering the potential

85
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: for some relief.

86
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 4: Well, Karen Let's turn to markets now.

87
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: Futures are modestly lowered this morning, following a record close

88
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 3: for the S and P five hundred and several key

89
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: stocks are on the move, watching shares of Boeing.

90
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 4: They are down nearly two percent in early trading.

91
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: The planemaker posted preliminary sales about a billion and a

92
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 3: half dollars below estimates. Overall, Boeing, which is hit by

93
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 3: a workers strike, loss roughly four billion dollars in the quarter.

94
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: Well Nathan shares of Texas Instruments are down almost five percent.

95
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: The chip maker gave it pointing Earning's forecast for the

96
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 2: current period. Analysts say it's a sign it's still contending

97
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: with still sluggish chip demand and higher cost tied to

98
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: a factory expansion in Europe.

99
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: Karen's shares of Eric Center down more than eight percent.

100
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 3: The Swedish telecom missed analysts forecasts for earnings in the

101
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: fourth quarter.

102
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 2: On the flip side, Nathan Shears Burbery higher by twelve

103
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: and a half percent to pick up a US demand,

104
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 2: boosted the Trench code makers results. Sales in the America's

105
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 2: unexpectedly climbed well, China fell less than estimated.

106
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 3: And oh, it's staying in the Asia Pacific, Karen. The

107
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 3: Bank of Japan raised its key policy rate to the

108
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: highest level in seventeen years and took a more bullish

109
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: view on the strength of inflation. Boj lifted the overnight

110
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: call rate by a quarter percentage point to half percent.

111
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: The decisions feeling expectations for more rate hikes and is

112
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 3: supporting the end checking it against the dollar right now

113
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 3: it is stronger at one fifty five point seven zero.

114
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 2: And it's time now for a look at some of

115
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: the their stories making news in New York and around

116
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: the world. And for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr.

117
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 4: Michael, Good morning, Good morning, Karen.

118
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 8: A federal judge in Washington State has temporarily blocked President

119
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,559
Speaker 8: Trump's executive order denying US citizenship to the children born

120
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 8: from undocumented parents living in the country. The hearing didn't

121
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 8: even take a half an hour. Judge John Kunauer said

122
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 8: in his four decades on the bench, he'd never seen

123
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 8: such a clear case. That Reagan appointee called President Trump's

124
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 8: order blatantly unconstitutional and said it boggles his mind that

125
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 8: any lawyer would unequivocally assert otherwise. President Trump pledged to

126
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 8: fight it.

127
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 6: Obviously will appeal if they put it before a certain

128
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 6: judge in Seattle.

129
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 5: I guess right, and there's no surprises with that judge.

130
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 8: Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson.

131
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 10: For a judge at a temporary restraining order to say

132
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 10: blatantly unconstitutional, it is where emphasizing that you don't typically

133
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 10: see that type of language at this initial stage.

134
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 8: Professor Levinson spoke to CBS. Trump's order aims to block

135
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 8: the issuance of passports and Social Security numbers to children

136
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 8: born to undocumented women or on temporary visas unless the

137
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 8: father is a US citizen or a Green card holder,

138
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 8: and ice raid conducted at a Newark, New Jersey business

139
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 8: as the city's mayor outraged, immigration officials took away three

140
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 8: workers who couldn't prove citizenship while working at the Ocean

141
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 8: Seafood Depot in Newark. The owner of that business. Luis

142
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 8: Ganoda believes this was a step too far.

143
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: I feel that we have to be a country law,

144
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: but go off.

145
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 4: To bad people, not working people. Visit people, these a

146
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 4: family people? Is it people that would show up to

147
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: work every day.

148
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 8: The raid yesterday was part of a nationwide enforcement following

149
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 8: President Trump's executive order. One of the people taken into

150
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 8: custody was a US veteran. In a statement, Newark Mayor

151
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 8: Baraka called it egregious and a violation of the Fourth Amendment.

152
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 8: Baraka insists the proper warrant was not presented. President Trump

153
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 8: has ordered the release of thousands of classifying the governmental

154
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 8: records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

155
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 8: The executive order Trump signed yesterday also aims to declassify

156
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 8: records relating to the assassinations of Senator Robert F. Kennedy

157
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,679
Speaker 8: and Martin Luther King Jr. Global News twenty four hours

158
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 8: a day and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News Now.

164
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 11: a record breaking twenty fifth Grand Slam, and then suddenly

165
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 11: in Melbourney at upset Carlos Alcarez in the quarterfinals despite

166
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,520

00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 11: up of the semis.

168
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 8: He took on alex Zavera.

169
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 11: They've played a long and tight first sets of Vera

170
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 11: won a tiebreaker and then the match was over.

171
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 8: Djokovic was struggling. He didn't know how Battley Patrick he did.

172
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 4: And the cloud is absolutely stunted.

173
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 11: Stunned.

174
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 4: Lady Shanny, his name was seconds.

175
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,040

Speaker 3: second did he missed the volley.

177
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 11: To lose the set.

178
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 4: He came forward to shake.

179
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 8: Hands and this is for disappointing the drive at twenty

180
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 8: five NS right here on ESPN.

181
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 11: Djokovic said later due to the muscle tear in the leg,

182
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 11: he would not have been able to finish even had

183
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 11: he won that first set.

184
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 8: Soaver evern the.

185
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,800

00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 11: first set tiebreaker from the Herd, serving young American Ben Shelter.

188
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 11: The Rangers on November nineteenth were twelve and four. Rest

189
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 11: of twenty twenty four they went four and fifteen, but

190
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 11: since the new year began there are eight, one and

191
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 11: three very much back in the playoff picture.

192
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 4: It was easy at the Garden.

193
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 11: Sixty one rout of Philadelphia was six different goal scorers.

194
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 11: The capital is a top the NHL. They won three

195
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 11: nothing at Seattle career goal number eight seventy five for

196
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,120

00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 11: Lost to the Lakers once seventeen ninety six Spurs meet

198
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,360

199
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 11: familiar names Lebron James, Kevin durand Steph Curry, and two

200
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 11: next were named Jalen Brunston and Karl Anthony Towns. Thirty

201
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 11: nine year old Liam Cohen is the new coach of

202
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 11: the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had been coaching Tampa Bay's offense.

203
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 11: The Cowboys said to be moving closer to promoting Brian Schottenheimer,

204
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 11: Dallas's current offensive Cornada. The Atlanta Braves have signed free

205
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 11: agent outfielder Jerkson Profar just had his best season with

206
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:33,320

211
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 4: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager.

212
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 3: President Trump is calling for lower oil prices, lower interest rates,

213
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 3: and higher tariffs in a virtual address to the global

214
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 3: elites gathered at the World Economic Forum.

215
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 6: In my message to every business in the world is

216
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 6: very simple. Come make your product in America and we

217
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 6: will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation

218
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 6: on Earth.

219
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 4: We're bringing them.

220
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 6: Down very substantially, even from the original Trump tax cuts.

221
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: And the President reiterated that message at the Oval Office

222
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 3: and in an interview with Fox News Channel. Joining us

223
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: now is doctor Lindsay Newman, geopolitical risk analyst and calumnist

224
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 3: at G zero Media. Thanks for being with us this morning,

225
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: doctor Newman. The President is reiterating these tariff threats at

226
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: the same time, though saying in that Fox interview that

227
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 3: he would rather not impose tariffs on China. Where do

228
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 3: you see the message from the President when it comes

229
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 3: to the potential for trade wars with adversaries and allies

230
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 3: at this point.

231
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 12: Thanks Nathan, thank you for having me on again. It's

232
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 12: a great question around what is the signal and what

233
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 12: is the noise here. As you said, he said in

234
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 12: his Davos remarks yesterday that he thinks the relationship with China,

235
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 12: he expects it to be very good. He wants a

236
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 12: fair relationship, he said. He doesn't need to be phenomenal,

237
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 12: but he does want it to be fair. And as

238
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 12: you said, he said he would rather not He knows

239
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 12: China doesn't want those tariffs and posted and he himself

240
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 12: would rather not impose those tariffs. But he also went

241
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 12: on to then say it is a tremendous point of

242
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 12: power or a tremendous point of leverage. We're hearing this

243
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 12: number right now, around ten percent tariffs to be imposed

244
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 12: on China, potentially to be imposed on China on February first,

245
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 12: a far cry from the sixty to one hundred percent

246
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 12: tariffs that he talked about during the campaign trail. But

247
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 12: I think we need to be cautious here. And here's

248
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 12: my one indicator that I would suggest to watch already,

249
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 12: which is that in his executive order for trade, the

250
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,599
Speaker 12: sweeping America First Trade Policy Executive Order, he has instructed

251
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 12: his team to not only investigate all and review all

252
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 12: potential areas where tariffs could be warranted, but he's also

253
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 12: setting up this external reserve services. You don't set up

254
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 12: an organization to collect tariffs if you're not looking to

255
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 12: collect tariffs.

256
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 3: The President also said he was going to demand that

257
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia and OPEK bring down the cost of oil,

258
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 3: couching it as the idea that it could help bring

259
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: the war in Ukraine to a more rapid end.

260
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 4: What did you make of that comment.

261
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,359
Speaker 12: It was a really interesting one because most of yesterday's

262
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 12: address by Trump at the World Economic Forum was really

263
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 12: just a highlight reel of what his very young administration

264
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 12: has already done in this first week, including taking responsibility

265
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 12: for that ceasefire agreement in Israel, and then of course

266
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 12: all these executive orders, which he touched on everything from

267
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 12: inflation to deregulation efforts, immigration, etc. But then he broke

268
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 12: some news, as you're saying here about this energy point,

269
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 12: where he's saying he's going to ask the Kingdom and

270
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 12: Obak to bring down oil pricing. We saw since that

271
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 12: discussion he in fact, since this point that he raised it,

272
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 12: oil did come down. And as you said, he even

273
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 12: connected very interestingly the ongoing conflict in Russian Ukraine with

274
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 12: height and oil price is saying he was even a

275
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 12: bit if the sense was that he was a bit

276
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 12: miffed that the prices haven't come down, because if they would,

277
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 12: he thinks that the war would end immediately, and he's

278
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 12: been very clear about how this war needs to end immediately.

279
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 12: This relationship is one that we're going to have to

280
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 12: watch closely. We should be watching closely between the US

281
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 12: and Saudi Arabia, Between Donald Trump and MBS, we know,

282
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 12: for example, that they had that the first foreign Leader's

283
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 12: call was with MBS, where they talked about the kingdom's

284
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 12: ambitions over the next years and next four years and

285
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 12: how they can collaborate together. I wouldn't be surprised if,

286
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 12: yet again, that is Donald Trump's first foreign trip.

287
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 3: And how about the relationship between President Trump and global

288
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: central banks. We heard the President in the Oval Office

289
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 3: yesterday saying that he knows interest rates better than Jay

290
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 3: Powell does. That he at the Davos forum called for

291
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 3: central banks around the world to follow the US lead

292
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: and lowering interest rates.

293
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 4: Do you see a threat to FED independence?

294
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 12: This is classic Donald Trump. This is nothing new. We

295
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 12: saw it during first his first term where he also

296
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 12: had these barbs around interest rates. In Powell, really, I

297
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 12: would not expect anything sort of substantive there. We can

298
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 12: expect more of that same rhetoric, and it is a

299
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 12: point of leverage that he looks to apply to make

300
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 12: it clear to both the domestic and global audience that

301
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 12: he's going to ask for what he expects, and he's

302
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 12: going to make clear what he expects, and he expects

303
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 12: to see interest rates come down both further at home

304
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 12: and in the global in the global economy. But Powell

305
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 12: has been very clear about holding the line and domestic

306
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 12: FED independence.

307
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 3: Just thirty seconds left, He's going to ask for what

308
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: he wants. Do you expect the world to answer?

309
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: Well?

310
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 12: So far, we've seen a ceasefire agreement in Israel that

311
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 12: was at a logjam for many, many months on the

312
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 12: Biden administration. It's this way in which he will intend

313
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 12: to be quite ambitious, sort of flooding the field with

314
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,400
