1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: Our single best idea and our single best idea is

3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: it has been just an extraordinary week. The team has

4
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 2: worked NonStop from literally Thursday last to have a set

5
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: of conversations that layout the moment we're in. The moment,

6
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 2: of course, the politics of the nation and all the

7
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 2: upper Thank you for the hate mail, the love notes

8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: and all on the election so much more. David Gera

9
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: adamant that it will be eventful as we go to

10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 2: the inauguration. I guess he's right. It seems like there's

11
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: a news item every day. Of course, we have to

12
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: decide the House in the next week as well, but

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: just the conversation has been extraordinary. Let us begin the

14
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: Washington Post today with the lead article on the future

15
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: of the Pentagon. James Travitas joined US Admiral Stravitas with

16
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: all of his work in Brussels for NATO, his work

17
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: for the United States Navy. Here is Admiral Stravitas on

18
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 2: the future of the Pentagon.

19
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 3: I'll give you three names that come to my mind.

20
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: One is Mike Pompeo, who was the director of the

21
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 3: CIA and then was the Secretary of State. West Point

22
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: graduate number one in his class, he could help Number

23
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 3: two the last National Security Advisor, former Ambassador Robert O'Brien,

24
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: very well grounded, steady. I think he could be in

25
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: a position to be helpful. And third, the last Deputy

26
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 3: National Security Advisor, Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg retired, also understands

27
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 3: all of that. Those are names that I'm actively seeing

28
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: under consideration in a Trump administration.

29
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: Dave, We're just.

30
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: Going to have to wait and see who he puts

31
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: in positions of authority.

32
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: And mister Vedis, I did ask him if he would

33
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: serve and he said he's never turned down a request

34
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: from the White House. James travetas there of course of

35
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: the United States. Maybe Michael Schules in with Iron Asset Management.

36
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: Michael Schule really really interesting, particularly commodities, and of course

37
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 2: that brings us over to China off of the election,

38
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: our future relationship with Beijing.

39
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: I think this is a process. I think the the

40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: you know, she is in a position somewhat analogous to

41
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: Drahi in twenty eleven twelve, or the US FED in

42
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: two thousand and late two thousand and eight through late

43
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine, maybe even Jackson Hole twenty ten,

44
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: which is there. He's in the middle of a process

45
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: where he tries to rebuild domestic confidence and international confidence

46
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: in his country. And you know, my guts are that

47
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: he'll he'll get that done eventually, but it'll be noisy

48
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: and bloody process.

49
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: Michael schol I'm Beijing in the future forward, and of

50
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: course we'll have much more stay with Bloomberg dot com

51
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: in Bloomberg News through the weekend, and the terminal, of

52
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: course will be there twenty four seven, the news flow

53
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: off of the election into the weekend, and of course

54
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: on the next week where maybe we'll see cabinet officers

55
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: selected by the president elect. Again, thank you to all

56
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: on your morning commute across the nation. Thank you for

00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: listening on Applecarplay and Android Auto. Good morning in Washington
