1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: Single best idea, my single best idea, is to have

3
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: I have a book of the year, an article of

4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 2: the year, an essay of the year, if you will.

5
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 2: My essay of the year was Lawrence McDonald last year,

6
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 2: who's got a new book out. We'll get to that

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: as we stagger through the spring. One day is going

8
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: to warm up in New York City? Did it snow

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 2: to day? Eric? I think it's like, are you kidding me?

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: When's this scent? Plus are playing baseball? The Mets have

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: played like one game right, I mean, it's terrible. Anyways,

12
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: the book of the year last year was The Loom

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: of Time, and it is spectacular. I just it's it's

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 2: standard Robert D. Kaplan, and in this case he goes

15
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: from Morocco chapter by chapter east over to the stands

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: and chapter three wanders into Constantinople. And so we had

17
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: the Airwan News. I said, of course, get Robert D.

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 2: Kaplan because the Luma Time is spectacular and he's very,

19
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: very knowledgeable about the twenty two years of Ariijwuan. We

20
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: did that, But then the bonus of our extended conversations,

21
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: I think Paul Sweeny brought this up, was Israel and

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 2: what we see in Gaza and what all of us

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: are agonizing over in the Levant Here is Robert D.

24
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: Kaplan on efter net Nyahu.

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: I think the morning after mister N'atagne who exits, you

26
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: will see the same policy more or less applied in Gaza.

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 3: You know, a determination to fit to kill off those

28
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 3: or to defeat those last six or eight battalions of

29
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: Hamas in southern Gaza, in the Rafach area, the desire

30
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: to keep pressing militarily to kill off the Hamas leadership,

31
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: the desire to again restore sovereignty through in northern Israel,

32
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,559
Speaker 3: through if necessary, a war with Hesba Lah. I think

33
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: that I think a lot of us have been, you know,

34
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: are living in a dream world that the policy is

35
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: going to suddenly shift forty five or ninety degrees in

36
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: a direction because of the end of Nettan Yahoo. I

37
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: think the fundamental you know, war policy will continue, though

38
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 3: it will take on a much more diplomatic Guys.

39
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 2: Rabitt Kaplan of course iconic at the Atlantic years ago,

40
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: a whole series of books, many of which I featured,

41
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: and again The Loom of Time, my book of the

42
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: year for two thousand twenty three. What an interesting show

43
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: today into the jobs report. We'll do the jobs report

44
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: on Friday. ADP coming in pretty well, great equity conversations

45
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: as well, but really the news it slipped into the

46
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: discussion this week has been commodities, and of course, led

47
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: by Brent Krude back out to ninety dollars a barrel.

48
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 2: There were two giants who slipped away from the major

49
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: houses at the end of twenty twenty three, and one

50
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Curry at Goldman Sachs and another Edward Morse. It's

51
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 2: City Group. And I just said to myself, I can't

52
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: fathom Edward Morris not waking up every day thinking the geopolitics,

53
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: the macro picture of our global hydrocarbon supply and demand.

54
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: And of course Edward Morris is teamed up with Hartree.

55
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 2: It is an Amarada Hess original company thirty forty years ago.

56
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: Oak Tree is involved as well, and of course they're

57
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: doing great think tank work, if you will, on hydrocarbons.

58
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: Here is Edward Morse on our supply and demand at

59
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: ninety dollars a barrel.

60
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the demand side, Tom, I think

61
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: it's really the supply side. I think it's a combination

62
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: of fact is on the supply side. That combination of

63
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: factors is a restraint that a major producers are having

64
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: and putting crude oil into the market, and the distory

65
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: in the market that need to be worked out and

66
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: they will be worked out, that come from the blockages

67
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: of the Seuis Canal and leading sum D pipeline is

68
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: the only way to really get sustainable flows into the

69
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: Med and out of the Med from the Middle East

70
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: and through the Middle East. So we're going to have

71
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: as we did with Russia Ukraine, working out of freight

72
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: rates and working out of that distortion, weighing on prices eventually.

73
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: And what we don't really know is what their response

74
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: is going to be on the demand side with respect

75
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: to buying oil from the Middle East and elsewhere, particularly

76
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: in China.

77
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 2: Ed Morrise ending up there on China and they really

78
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: want to review this right now. The heritage of Bloomberg

79
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: surveillance is we're just as interested when our experts are

80
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 2: wrong is when they're right, but we do like the

81
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: trumpet when they're right. Edward Morris with absolutely the greatest

82
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: hydro carbon call coming out of the pandemic. Everyone was

83
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: looking for bigger demand, many models of ninety dollars a barrel,

84
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: one hundred dare I say modeling out a fan distribution

85
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: up to one hundred and ten one hundred and twenty

86
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: dollars a barrel, And Edward Morris very quietly said, no,

87
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 2: supply will come on. And he was dead right. He

88
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: was just he absolutely nailed oil. I'm going to say,

89
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 2: is a broad sense twenty twenty out to two thousand

90
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: and twenty two. That's the kind of guest that we

91
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: like to see. Of course, Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple car
