1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: Single Best Idea, and today again our team just doing

3
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 2: a tour de force of getting us incredible conversations. Daniel

4
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: kurtz Phalen was on with Foreign Affairs Magazine. I am

5
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: a member of the Console on Foreign Relations. I don't

6
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: read Foreign Affairs cover to cover. I'd say I read

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: three articles every time it comes out. But I just

8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: can't say enough. If you want to keep up with

9
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 2: the thought process of foreign affairs and international relations, get

10
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: a subscription to Foreign Affairs Magazine, a physical copy. It's

11
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: in a larger font The articles are brilliant, they're just

12
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: the right length. I can't say enough about what they're doing.

13
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: We had Douglas he went on from Dark about ten

14
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 2: days ago. He's got a just blistering essay on the tariffs.

15
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: Today we spoke to Jay Brison, his chief economist at

16
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo has a thirty year heritage of

17
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: incredible granularity about the American labor economy. Doctor Bryson was

18
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: absolutely brilliant about framing out the weekly jobless claims. Tom.

19
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: I don't think it gets us that far, but I

20
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 3: think you're probably looking at a you know, you're probably

21
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: looking in the two fifty to two seventy five sort

22
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: of range. If you get up to three hundred, if

23
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 3: we go from you know, roughly two twenty right now

24
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 3: up to three hundred per week, you're getting pretty close

25
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 3: to a recession at that point. And so yeah, you know,

26
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: I think you know you're four point four. You're you're

27
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 3: looking at us getting up into the two fifty two

28
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: seventy five.

29
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: And the Courson backdrop for that was the headline yesterday

30
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: amid all the FED stuff about them out this move

31
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: from four point one to four point four percent unemployment.

32
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: All I can say is, if you pull up a

33
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: Bloomberg actually I have this function memorized at very few

34
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: memorized us R TOT index, and you put it up

35
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: and you go back and type in nineteen forty seven,

36
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: you could see the huge, huge history of the unemployment rate.

37
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 2: And all you need to know is when it goes,

38
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: it goes. And so here at four point one. A

39
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: move to four point four would be sobering in terms

40
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: of the history of that unemployment rate. What a joy

41
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: to speak to. Brian Weezer of Madison Well Brian Weezer

42
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: Expert on advertising and media. We spoke to him. He

43
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: was just brilliant on his Vancouver and on all going

44
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 2: on between Vancouver and Seattle. We followed that up with

45
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 2: David Rosenberg of Toronto and Rosenberg Research. Here's David Rosenberg

46
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: on Ontario in the auto industry.

47
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 4: If the tariffs end up applying the twenty five percent

48
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 4: tariffs apply to the auto sector, it's going to detonate

49
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: the Ontario economy. But don't think for a second that

50
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 4: it's not going to have massive negative spill overs in

51
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 4: the United States. It's why I don't believe. It's almost

52
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 4: like a Cuban missile crisis situation. Who's going to blink?

53
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 4: But you know, the robber beats the road in a

54
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: lot of the Midwestern states too that are red states,

55
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 4: you know. Causing that amount of dislocation in the auto

56
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 4: sector is going to bite really hard in Canada Ontario

57
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 4: in particular, but white swasa the United States are going

58
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 4: to feel a lot of pain there too.

59
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: David Rosenberg, Rosenberg Research, We'll have much much more for

60
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: you here to finish them on strong and out of

61
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: the jobs report of course in April, first week of April,

62
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: and that key trade touched. Paul mentioned today April second,

63
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: it seems to be a key tariff day. On your

64
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: commute across the nation, we say good morning, good morning,

65
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: ninety nine one FM Washington, ninety two nine FM up

66
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: in Boston, and on YouTube look to the podcast We're

67
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: on YouTube podcast. This is a single best idea
