00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news, single best Idea.

2
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: What an eclectic day of conversations. Thank you so much

3
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 2: for the feedback as well, particularly thank you for the

4
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: feedback that I wasn't wearing a bow tie today. I

5
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: wasn't because a dog pit me and I had my

6
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: thumb and I literally couldn't tie the bow tie with

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: a band aid on the thumb. But you know, we'll

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: do that tomorrow. We'll get better here in the next

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: couple of days. What a difficult choice to give you

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 2: two featured comments Mike Mayo with us on Banks on fire,

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 2: about city group turning to a positive any number of

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: other guesse Gina Martin Adams I thought was really quite strong.

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: Robert Schiffman suddenly we literally on a moment's notice, got

14
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: him brilliant. On Apple's cash and then you supprect their

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: debt and that's net cash. It was really interesting to

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 2: see that, given the continued free cash flow that Apple

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: has on all that's going on in Europe, there's no

18
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: one better than Stephanie Baker punishing Putin as her book.

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: It's a huge response, particularly in her London, in her Europe.

20
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: Here is Stephanie Baker on the moment at hand.

21
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: It's a real worry. You know. The Biden administration's policy

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 3: towards Russia, isolating Russia, imposing harsh sanctions on Russia, had

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: its flaws. But at this point, you know, right before

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 3: Trump came into office, the sanctions were finally beginning to bite.

25
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 3: And it appears that Trump is about to give Putin

26
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: sanctions relief and get him out of a bind, because

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 3: I think Putin really would like some sanctions relief to

28
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: regroup and rearm to take another bite at Ukraine a

29
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 3: few years down the line.

30
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: Stephanie Baker, I can't say enough about the book Punishing Putin.

31
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: We had Angela Stenhon, I believe a week ago, two

32
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: weeks ago, were there wonderful book, My book of the

33
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: year a few years ago Putin's World in Stephanie Baker

34
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: follows on with the book, particularly about economic sanctions, which

35
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: brings you to oil is a weapon. What an honor

36
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: today to have an extended conversation with Edward Morse, of

37
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: course forever the consul and foreign relations is public service

38
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: in both the Reagan and Carter administrations. Ed Morse Iconic

39
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: City Group and now at Hartree Partners, Edward Morse on oil.

40
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 2: Is it a weapon for America?

41
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 4: It cannot be weaponized other than the degree to which

42
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 4: you can put sanctions on a country. I don't know

43
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 4: what weaponizing it means. I don't know what we're going

44
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 4: to pursue. Energy dominance means. I know what it means

45
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: as a soft, powerful instrument of policy. And let me

46
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 4: give you an example. We have become the largest exporter

47
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 4: of energy in the world, the largest exporter of LNG.

48
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 4: That LNG export growth enabled the United States to replace

49
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 4: every drop of Russian energy, but particularly natural gas going

50
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 4: into Europe, and it did so at a time when

51
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 4: it was able to globalize a gas market that had

52
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 4: not been globalized. We have made oil because we don't

53
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 4: allow destination restrictions. We've enabled natural gas to be global

54
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 4: and the price of it is based at Henry Hubb

55
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: in the United States. That's kind of soft diplomacy. We

56
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 4: have an ability to expand LNG globally, but it's a

57
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 4: soft ability. We have an ability to say multilateral lending

58
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 4: institutions ought to be pushing natural gas, they ought to

59
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: be backstopping Regasification is cleaner than coal is helpful to

60
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: the global economy. But that's soft diplomacy. It's not using

61
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 4: it as a weapon.

62
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: Ed Morris, Hertery partners and your community across the nation,

63
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,000
