WEBVTT - Single Best Idea with Tom Keene: Ian Bremmer & Dana Telsey

0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:14.120 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Single best idea, and we say happy holidays to you.

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:19.919
<v Speaker 3>We'll make this quick today that we're short staffed.

0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, everybody's just waiting to get out and get

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:25.760
<v Speaker 2>on across this nation, and we say thank you for

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 2>a really spectacular year. What Ian Bremer, what this is

0:00:30.760 --> 0:00:32.839
<v Speaker 2>about is sometimes we just rip up the script and

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.559
<v Speaker 2>we do that. Where we went from economic data to

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 2>an ample conversation with doctor Bremer of eras your group

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 2>on too many themes.

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 3>Here is Ian Bremer on tariffs among allies, tariffs among adversaries.

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:51.919
<v Speaker 4>There are two, as you note from Trump's first efforts

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.680
<v Speaker 4>at making policy as president elect. You've got the ally

0:00:56.400 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 4>fault line where he expects, you know, deals, and then

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 4>you've got the adversary fault line, where he expects deals.

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 4>And Trump doesn't necessarily treat them as all that different.

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:12.480
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it was less than an hour between.

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Him posting that there's going to be new tariffs against

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Mexico and Canada unless they give him satisfaction, and when

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>he said the same thing about China unless the Chinese

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>provides satisfaction.

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 4>So those are tom those are two very very different

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:28.839
<v Speaker 4>fault lines.

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 2>We love our guests with their heritage. Ian Bremer, of course,

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.919
<v Speaker 2>with heritage of international relations out of Tulane and Stanford.

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.959
<v Speaker 2>On retail, there is no heritage like Dana Telsey. She

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 2>grew up as a child. Her grandparents were at Bergdorf Goodman.

0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 2>She knows retail in New York City. She knows retail

0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 2>across the nation with a good help of Joseph Feldman

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 2>at Telsey Advisory Group. The surprise of the year a

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 2>pe of thirty five on Walmart.

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.120
<v Speaker 5>The competitive mode that a business develops gives them the

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 5>opportunity to see, look what Walmart is doing. Walmart today

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 5>is not the Walmart of yesterday. You look at their

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 5>other revenues from other business lines that are growing extensively,

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 5>Look at their sixty percent of sales that are coming

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 5>from essentials, and frankly, look what they're doing with both

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:18.359
<v Speaker 5>the digital channel and the physical channel, coupled with what

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 5>they've got globally. So what Don McMillan has done has

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.120
<v Speaker 5>moved the business forward, and that competitive mode is only

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 5>getting stronger.
