5
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: Bouncer joint to us here in New York City, specially

6
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: Economic ad Fighter formerly of the NPC at the Bank

7
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: of England and Money to Villiam. Good morning. We've had

8
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 1: three growth scares in the last ten years, fifteen sixteen

9
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: and now eighteen nineteen. Each and everyone driven by manufacturing,

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: led by manufacturing, and the previous two didn't bleed into

11
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: services in a big way. It was a head fake.

12
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: We got out. Okay, is this any different? Well, I'm

13
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: getting increasingly concerned that in Europe euro areas, actually it

14
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: may be something different that we will get because of

15
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: the extreme weakness of manufacturing. Data and sort of supplementary

16
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: information about global trade coming from Korea that confirms this

17
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: weakness as being more, i think than just manufacturing slow down.

18
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 1: And I'm afraid this looks like it could really rub

19
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: every part of the economy in the wrong way. For

20
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: anyone tuning in this morning that hasn't seen the data yet.

21
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: Exports out of South Korea down almost the data in Germany,

22
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: the p m I coming in at forty one point four,

23
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: there was a hope that we'd see her pick up

24
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: their villain. Let's talk about the policy response. The e

25
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: CP has thrown everything at it. Is that gonna work. No,

26
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: it's not going to be enough. Central banks in the policity.

27
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: The ECB with a polity ated miners sixty beats are

28
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: effectively pushing on a string, maybe a nice string to

29
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: push on, but it really will not boost activity where

30
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: it needs to be boosted. Only fiscal policy can do that, Professor.

31
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: But I want to get out in front of our

32
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: conversation with William Dudley this morning, and I want to

33
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: give it in a sixty thousand foot view way over

34
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: the topics at hand, negative interest rates, what that does

35
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: to savers and what it does to the incentives in Europe,

36
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: the low rates, the fiscal and financial repression. Rather in

37
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 1: the United States, have we thought too hard for fourteen years?

38
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: Have we boxed ourselves in to a set of economics

39
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: where we thought, you know, maybe this works, but to

40
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people. It's not It may not be

41
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: working for a lot of people, but it doesn't mean

42
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: there's a lot you can do about it. The fact

43
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: that indust rates are negative now for seventeen chillion worth

44
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: of debt outstanding is a larger reflection of a very

45
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: low in the negative neutral global real interest rate, and

46
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: central banks sort of tinker that fundamental reality which is

47
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: driven by demographics, by lack of embodied technical change, and

48
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: by other real economy factors. So central banks are not

49
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: in some sense causing I didn't say they're causing it,

50
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: but they have to deal with this new lower phenomenal GDP.

51
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: You mentioned demographics and such. Do we need to clear

52
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: out the zombie companies, the zombie assets and liabilities that

53
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: have that have persisted through this twelve and fourteen years,

54
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: especially in Europe, there has not been a thorough cleaning

55
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: up with the bank balance sheet and it was always

56
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: a good idea to do that. Of course, timing is

57
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't be ideal about determined attempt to clean up the

58
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: balance sheets go be part of the solution to this problem.

59
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: This Manchester United qualifiers as an ambie company join for

60
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: not just yet, though some Manchester United fans might fill

61
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: that way. Villam, I just want to run things out

62
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: on the fiscal policy question. There's a lot of people

63
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: on this side of Atlantic look into Europe just saying

64
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: this has got to be inevitable. Now this is the

65
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: only policy tool left. Surely they're going to use it.

66
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: Madame Legard will make the difference as a European looking

67
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: at the situation play out all of the experience you have.

68
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: Do you see any chance of this happening in the

69
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: next eighteen months. I do. Actually, it's not going to

70
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: be dramatic. You're not going to see the kind of

71
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: Trump style as an eighteen fiscal stimulus. But we could

72
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: get a percent of GDP worth of fiscal relaxation in

73
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: a selected number of countries, the ones with the most

74
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: fiscal elbow room Germany, Netherlands and all that, and some

75
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: smaller fiscal stimulus in in the rest of the euro

76
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: Area where fiscal challenges are greater. If at the same

77
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: time the ECB continues to engage in quantitative easing, Yeah,

78
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: they're being business for what looks like a mini helicopter

79
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: money drop. He Philliam going to catch you out with

80
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: the conversation to be continued right now. We like to

81
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: migrate sort of to a October kickoff of American politics.

82
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: We can do that with Wendy Shower. She's a Brown University.

83
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: I like what you say, Wendy, in the beginning of

84
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: your note on the brand of populism, What is the

85
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: brand of populism of Iowa front runner Elizabeth Warren. That's

86
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: truly economic populism. I mean it's almost a blueprint from

87
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: the ten eight nineties start of saying the individual working

88
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: person deserves detection, deserves to make a decent wage. It's

89
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: not sort of this elite tax cut, let's generate jobs

90
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: through corporate America. It's what can we do to the individual.

91
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: And so it's different from the Trump brand. When I

92
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: first met the Senator ages ago, she was a professor

93
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: at Harvard and she was total policy want. I say

94
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: that with all great respect for her public service, and

95
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: she's still that way. Is there any evidence of policy

96
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: want you can get elected? Well, I mean we're seeing

97
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: that in the polls now with her right, and we're

98
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: seeing the response literally if you see the response in

99
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: her rallies and look at the way she sort of

100
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: characterized herself. She dresses pretty simply. I mean, you're not

101
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: supposed to pay attention, but everybody does anyway. She's simple

102
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: in her dress, she's simple in her address to people.

103
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: She you know, runs sprints, she takes pictures with everybody.

104
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: She really is trying working very hard to have come

105
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: down from that Ivory Tower mountains and really relate to

106
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: people one on one and that way, even though she's

107
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: policy focused, she's finding a way to relate what she

108
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: wants to do policy wise to have an effect their

109
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: daily lives and the moment that seems to be resonating.

110
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: Do you see that with the fourteen flavors of Democrats

111
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: in Iowa? Is she at the margin pulling over a

112
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: new constituency or new constituencies plural? I think she's working

113
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: awfully hard at it. And where she's being I think

114
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: strategically smart is talking about trade, figuring out how that

115
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: effects formers. It's so important formers. However, you have to

116
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: brace yourself for Trump to cut a deal with China

117
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: and get this thing off the table by December. So

118
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: she's not focusing all over time on that because you

119
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: realizes that issue might actually go okay. But those are

120
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: economic issues and we're very familiar with, you know, economics first,

121
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: it's the economy stupid. Except last time around there other

122
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: than depressed GDP, that didn't have much to do with

123
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: the election. It was the battle of Mr Trump versus

124
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: the Secretary of State. And I just wonder do we

125
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: actually get back to policy discussions as we go through

126
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: the conventions in the election or do you see a

127
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: redux of the tenor of the tumbra of two thousand

128
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: six team? Well, tomm, you're pointing out something so vitally important,

129
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: which is that you have to break through a TV

130
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: screen or a video screen or a phone screen, whatever

131
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: it is. You have to have a kind of charisma

132
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: that says I'm gonna fight for you. And that's the

133
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: big question mark. Can she break through on the national

134
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: stage in the general And we're seeing her breakthrough a

135
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: little bit so far, but yeah, there's some question marks.

136
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: Other way you can do that, it will be personality

137
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: versus personality, and she will have to look as tough

138
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: as Trump, and that is always more difficult for a

139
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: wan to do than a man. So it's absolutely right

140
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: question mark. However, she is performing better than anybody thought

141
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: she would. What about in the twenty counties that matter.

142
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: Maybe it's thirty, maybe it's ten. I don't know. That's

143
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: not my area of folks. But in the in the

144
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: hyper narrow counties of those five or six key states,

145
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: do they know how to spell W A R R

146
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: E N. I mean, is it working well? I think

147
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: for her, she's gonna have to do a tremendous amount

148
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: of recent politics in those areas. You're gonna have to

149
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: get out there and meet and greet people, because that

150
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: seems to be strong as asset Minnesota. You know, Minnesota

151
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: could go either way, Republican or Democrat. You know, how

152
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: does she play in Minnesota. That's the kind of thing

153
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't really start thinking about. Now, is this what

154
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: Secretary Clinton didn't do? I think Clinton had so much

155
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: more more baggage than Warren. Warren has ideological baggage. She

156
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: has reputational baggage. For she thinks, however, you can counteract

157
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: that when you meet somebody first you know firsthand, or

158
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: you go to town meetings, their CAUCUSUS and over the

159
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: primary season she can counteract that in some ways. But

160
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: whereas Clinton could not shed the baggage because it was

161
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: twenty years worth of baggage. And that's one thing was

162
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: Warren does not have. Whatever baggage she has, is actually

163
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: fighting for consumers. So I don't see her having to

164
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: lift that kind of heavy load that Clinton had to lift.

165
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 1: And that's the margin of difference. That would mean, I don't,

166
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't torpedo her campaign against Trump. It would

167
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: be a tall mountain climb, it would. But I don't

168
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: think he can be labeled the same way Hillary was labeled.

169
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: How do you identify if your folks, if you're just

170
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: joining us Wendy Show or Brown University, we diverge here

171
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: on politics on a Monday morning. Future is a negative one,

172
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: Professor Schiller. And this is a phrase. It was used

173
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: disaffected Democrats at the time of the liberal blow up

174
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. How do you identify disaffected Republicans, the

175
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: people that do not support the president? How big are

176
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: they and are they identifiable? It's a great question. I

177
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: don't think there are disaffective Republicans at the moment. I

178
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: think the Republicans that are annoyed, but I don't think

179
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: they are they still going to vote for Donald Trump. Yeah,

180
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: I firmly believe that, you know, I do. I don't

181
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: think they're going to cross the aisle to vote for

182
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: our Sanders or Biden or a warrant. The problem is

183
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: they may stay home if Biden's a nominee, and they

184
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: can live with Biden, but they don't want to vote

185
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: for a Democrat and may stay I'll sit this one out.

186
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: And if they sit that one out, it becomes and

187
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: that's the advantage Obama had over me, and that's how

188
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: the Democrats can win. But I don't think anyone's crossing

189
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: the aisle in this day and age. Explain the dynamics

190
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: of one moderate, which is Biden, among the front runners

191
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: of the Democrats. I mean, are there moderates out there

192
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: that can find some masks or we beyond that? No,

193
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: I do think we're beyond that within within the general election.

194
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: Whether we we have it in the Democrat party, it's

195
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: sound clear. But I think there's a lot of fatigue

196
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: with sort of up and down with Trump. I mean,

197
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: there's just general fatigue and Biden is sort of a

198
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: calm waters kind of right. This is like the guy

199
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: who will get you there, smooth sailing, no disruption, no uncertainty,

200
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: and there are people who are kind of craving that

201
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: and he's liberal enough. So I think, particularly with men,

202
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: because we white men in the Democrat Party, can Biden

203
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: actually get them out the door, take him away from Sanders.

204
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: That's the only way he wins the nomination. And that's

205
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: what we're looking for right now. Is he resonating with

206
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: that particular group within the party. They tend to be

207
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: more moderate than everybody else in the Democratic Good update,

208
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: Professor Shoulder, Thank you so much, Professor Political Science of

209
00:11:47,520 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: It Brown. We're thrilled that she could join us. Julia

210
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: Cornado joins us right now, before we get into the

211
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: report discussion, Julia, why are the p M S and

212
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: I S M has become so important? Is it because

213
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: the math is better? Well, I think with the market

214
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: measure that we're going to get this morning, it's useful because,

215
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: as Jonathan mentioned, we get it twice a month. We

216
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: get a preliminary reads and a final read. The other

217
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: thing is that it's a consistent UM survey across country,

218
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: so it's comparable from the US to the Eurozone, to Japan, etcetera.

219
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a useful timely barometer. Do you

220
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: expect to say the same story that we're seeing in Europe, Julia,

221
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: which is weight manufacturing, but perhaps some small signs that

222
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: is showing up in services, well, that would be very

223
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: important for the US. UM. The consensus is expecting a

224
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: little bit of a bounce in the services measure, and

225
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: we've seen service sector resilience in the US so far,

226
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: and that is absolutely essential because we don't expect to

227
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: me manufacturing sector to be snapping back anytime soon. And

228
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: and really the Senate sector has been carrying the entire

229
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: weight of the economy. Julia Cronado with this macro policy advisers.

230
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,599
Speaker 1: One minute ago, the headline comes out and John, I

231
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: guess we get used to this. New York Fed takes

232
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: sixties six billion of treasuries, securities and repo operations. So, Julia,

233
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: they brought in full faith and credit bills, notes and

234
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: bonds as a general statement, and they pushed out cash

235
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: to whom to a variety of people, to banks, and

236
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: through banks, to other financial intermediaries. UM. So it is

237
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: really um the liquifying the entire financial system through these operations,

238
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: including including foreign demand as well. And then on Friday,

239
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: we had the idea that big banks were reticent to

240
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: do something with their cash or their security is and

241
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: the blame goes back to Bossle is that the only

242
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: way we fix this is to deregulate the regulation. Um

243
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: that would be one road you can go down. But

244
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: the sets certainly knew that these regulations have been in place,

245
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: and they made a decision to sort of explore the

246
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: frontier of how much reserves were needed by the system.

247
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: And they found the frontier. So we had a liquidity

248
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: crunch on one of these periodic moments of elevated demand.

249
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: They're going to act, probably movie move to actually increase

250
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: the level of reserves in the system. I think that's

251
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: we found the frontier. So Julia, ultimately does that mean

252
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: expanding the balance sheet again? And when do you expect

253
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: to see that? Well, they've been very clear signaling that

254
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: this will be part of the October communication that we

255
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: get from them, that they will explore these issues make

256
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: a decision by the October meeting. So that's that's what

257
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: I would expect to see. If the former New York

258
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: Fed president built outly running an all had recently and

259
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: Tom and I are really looking forward to catching up

260
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: with him in about an arrant thirty minutes time that

261
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: Plug thought bloomlet c and for Bloomberg Ready, I, Julia,

262
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: excuse that, but he said that you could focus on

263
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: the bills and not further down the curve, and then

264
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: the optics of it will improve. And that's just one

265
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: way of communicating. This is not que What do you

266
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: what do you think of that, Julia focusing on buying

267
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: treasury bills instead of going further down the curve to

268
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: expand the balance sheet and increase reserves. Well, I'm not

269
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: sure that they're going to go that route. When they

270
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: have discussed this at the meetings this year, and they

271
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: have been discussing these issues all year, they've sort of

272
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 1: tied all of the balance sheet policy together under one

273
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: investment policy, So both the reinvestment the mortgages and treasuries,

274
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: as well as balance sheet expansion would all fall under

275
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: the same policy, which currently is to sort of invest

276
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: across the curve with the issuance pattern. And now folks

277
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: are coronado dumb question of the day. I'm always qualified

278
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: to do that. Does the pile sees this arcane PhD

279
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: trust dynamics of the repo market? Does that mean that

280
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: our listeners see D at their bank is a lower

281
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: yield than it would be otherwise. No, this is unaffected.

282
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: This doesn't affect retail yields. UH. And in fact, one

283
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: of the goals of keeping these markets liquid is that

284
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: these kinds of funding crunches don't affect retail yields. That

285
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: all of this is behind the scenes plumbing in the

286
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: wholesale market. Retail market should be Okay, we're losing Julia

287
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: right now, Julia Coronado, thank you so much for wonderful

288
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: explanations today. We are thrilled to bring you now. James

289
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: Travitas UH, with his public service to the nation in

290
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: the Navy and in course to Supreme Commander NATO as

291
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: well with the Carlisle Group. Ad been wonderful to have

292
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 1: with you. We could do a two hour conversation. We

293
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: don't have time for that, but I do want to

294
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: go back to a small memo which shows from another

295
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: time and place, business as usual. May six, two thousand ten, Brussels.

296
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: And this is where the Chief of Defense of the Ukraine,

297
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: the Chief of Defense of Turkey, and the Supreme Allied

298
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: Commander of NATO one Admiral James Travitas wandered into a

299
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: room and signed a document to drive forward an ecumenical

300
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: feel about Europe within all the politics of the moment.

301
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: After what you've observed this weekend, has your efforts of

302
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: May six, two thousand and ten been just destroyed by

303
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: this domestic US politics? Certainly it's a setback. Tom. In

304
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: any time UM you allow domestic politics to insert themselves

305
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: in national security international concerns, you run great risk. And

306
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: this is where the old saying comes from that UM

307
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: politics ends at the water's edge. Well not so much anymore.

308
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: And therefore very carefully crafted set of relationships with Ukraine

309
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: are keetering right now. That's bad for US security. Do

310
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: you perceive this is absolutely critical? Speaking with my good

311
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: friend David Gura, who I know had Ambassador Brady on

312
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: Nicholas Brady I believe was on up this weekend. And

313
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: whether it's Nicolas Brady or it's James Travitas, the question

314
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 1: is the same. Do you perceive this as a one

315
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: off foreign policy domestic politics moment, the unusual nous of

316
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: President Trump's tenor or is there a new permanence here

317
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: to where we take domestic politics abroad. I think there's

318
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: always been a subliminal element of what's going on domestically

319
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: that bleeds into our international stances. Classic example, you and

320
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: I are old enough to remember as the war in Vietnam,

321
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: which eventually was completely driven by domestic politics. But um,

322
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: since the fall of the Cold War, the fall of

323
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: the Berlin Law, we have not seen this level of region.

324
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: And like everybody else, hey, I want to read the

325
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: transcript of that conversation and make a judgment. Does it exist? I? Oh, absolutely,

326
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: I assure you would exists. Every time the President of

327
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: the United States speaks to a foreign leader, it is

328
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 1: recorded and transcribed. That's a fact. It exists. It's a

329
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: government document, and given all that has happened, I think

330
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,479
Speaker 1: we need to take a look at it and then

331
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: we can make a judgment. And that's a fair statement.

332
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: Are you suggesting then that the uproar over Trump putin

333
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: at Helsinki just with translators their documents to those conversations.

334
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: That's a different, uh environment, when you're over when you're overseas. No,

335
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: this is a phone call he made from the White House,

336
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: and I've seen hundreds of those transcripts over the years.

337
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: Typically they're passed around at the highest level, so is

338
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: Supreme allet Commander at NATO. I would see UH interestments

339
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: and discussion of UH of the President of the United

340
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: States with David Cameron or with Nicholas Sarpos or Angela Merkel,

341
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 1: because you need that intelligence content for your situational awareness. Um,

342
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: so it exists for sure if you're just joining US

343
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: admirals to Vidis. Of course, you know his book, The

344
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: Leader's Bookshelf was my book of the year here in

345
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: a not too distant pass. I still highly recommend that book.

346
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: It's at least fifty books out there to make you

347
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: wiser and smarter about the path of the nation and

348
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: the future of our foreign and military policy. Can you explain,

349
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: Admiral that I'm sure you aspired to be on the

350
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs of Staff at whatever form. I mean, everybody

351
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: does it wears a uniform, how they relate to this president.

352
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: I mean they're all going to be quiet and take

353
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: the maddest stoic line and all that. But what's actually

354
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: going on at the Pentagon among our chiefs that are

355
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: joint first and foremost. I was very lucky because I

356
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: became Supreme Allied Commander of NATO. I was also commander

357
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: you a Southern command, Everything South of the United States,

358
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: so I never had to be in Washington in that

359
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: mouth politics. Lucky me exactly my point um. But of

360
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: course these are my friends and contemporaries who have done this,

361
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: and in time, I think you've categorized it exactly right,

362
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: which is all of them are citizens, all of them

363
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: have used but the professionalism at that level has to

364
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: be as solid as a brick wall, and it is.

365
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: There are a few certain chiefs in lifetime, but I

366
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: would bet my life that you will never see a

367
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Chairman of the

368
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs out there in a public way involved. And

369
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: how did it happen? How do you do we have

370
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: war plans with Iran? I mean, you know, I don't

371
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: want to give away the family secrets here, Adam get

372
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: you in trouble, but I mean, I know General Dunford

373
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: listens every moment of Bloomberg surveillance. But we have war

374
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: plans with Iran. I get that. Now we're sending troops

375
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: to Saudi Arabia. Is it quit like Gulf War two?

376
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: Gulf War one troops? I mean, what's that deployment signify

377
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: to you? First? We do have war plans for every

378
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: contingency around the world, including war with North Korea, with China,

379
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: with Russia in in this case with Iran, those are

380
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: well built there, well resourced, they're detailed, um and they

381
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: have escalation clauses in the time. So you start at

382
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: the bottom and you probably look at things like cyber attacks.

383
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: That probably what's going to happen next to Iran. But

384
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: the deployment of troops will be part of that war plan,

385
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: contingency plan, operational plan. And no, it will not be

386
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty thousand troops going to Kuwait. This will

387
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: be uh in the thousand or two at the most.

388
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: Mostly they'll be there to defend US facilities are embassy.

389
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: I don't I don't mean to interrupt. What are two

390
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: thousand troops going to do with the margin anywhere? Whether

391
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: it's midtown it is midtown Manhattan or Riad, I mean,

392
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: come on, it is it will be. To answer your

393
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: fundamental question, yes, this will be deployment of trip Okay, Admiral,

394
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: thank you so much. I needed a new book idea

395
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: from you from the leader's bookshelf. I got to get

396
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: back to my core. I'm reading about the Romans now.

397

400
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,600
