Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news single best idea quick

2
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: four or five minute podcast to touch up against your

3
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: other podcast. Of course, lookout on YouTube podcasts. For all

4
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: that we're doing and building here today, I could have

5
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: gone with seven eight angles here. The news flow is

6
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: extraordinary and eclectic across economics, finance, investment, and international relations.

7
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: Let's stick on international relations. Tobin Marcus with work in

8
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: the Obama Biden administration and economics. He's at Wolf Research.

9
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: Tobin Marcus. He talked about the present administration and I

10
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: asked him about how he perceived the previous effort.

11
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: The latter stages of the Biden administration were somewhat listless.

12
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: You know, they came in with a lot of ideas,

13
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: were you know, faced a challenging global landscape. Certainly you

14
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: look at places like Ukraine. I don't think that we

15
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: saw a lot of progress over the course of the

16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 2: past couple of years. Sort of theory of the case,

17
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: after the big counter offensive that they tried to prepare

18
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: the Ukrainians for which didn't really succeed. I think mostly

19
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: we were kind of holding ground for the past few years.

20
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: Toovin Marcus at Wolf researched the many voices. Henrietta Trees

21
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: was just brilliant on Capitol Hill today. Mark Champion out

22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: of our London office. We'll have to feature him at

23
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: some point. I'll try to get his recent essays out

24
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: with Bloomberg Opinion, very informative and thought provoking of all

25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: this international relations. There is a heritage here at Bloomberg,

26
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: and no one carries that heritage like Michael McKee. You

27
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: know him from his work on economics, of course leading

28
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: to charge at the FED press conference. Kid him. He

29
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: was the only one at Reyevic who couldn't have vodka

30
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: because he was so young. Michael McKee was at Rayevic

31
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: with Gorbaschev and Reagan and was in Lascow for the

32
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: upset of Yeltsin. Michael McKee on Russia.

33
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: You could get very philosophical and go back into the

34
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 3: history of Russia and how it has generally been run

35
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 3: by strong men, and how the Russian people are sort

36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 3: of used to that and are willing to do that.

37
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 3: It's a little bit like what happened when China opened

38
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: up and the Chinese Communist Party said, we will give

39
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: you the possibility of prosperity as long as you stay

40
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 3: out of politics, and that's kind of where the Russians

41
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: are at the moment. But the problem is the war

42
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: is creating all kinds of economic issues. So Putin has

43
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 3: a reason to want to settle. The question is is

44
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: where do they go from there? And I think, as

45
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: Linskin points out, you can't trust Putin.

46
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: The valued perspective of Michael McKee. It's a four day

47
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: work week, feels like we're already deep into twenty twenty five.

48
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: What we know is we are humbled by the growth

49
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: of what we're doing here in digital media. Thank you
