Welcome to the Bloomberg Surveillance Podcast. 5 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: I'm Tom Keene with David Gura. Daily we bring you 6 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: insight from the best of economics, finance, investment, and international relations. 7 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: Find Bloomberg Surveillance on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Bloomberg dot Com, 8 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: and of course, on the Bloomberg Now. The Polish lotty 9 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: weakened after the EU launched infringement proceedings against the nation. 10 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: The move comes in response to the introduction of controversial 11 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: legislation which spake anti government protest. This hour, the European 12 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: Commission said Poland has a one month deadline to address 13 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,639 Speaker 1: the EU's concerns. Earlier, we spoke to Poland's deputy Prime minister. 14 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: He says and over vote of the president's vote is 15 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: not possible. President Andrew da Vito to this, and he 16 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: now said that he would present the new legislation and 17 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: over Vito over vote his Vito is not possible in 18 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: this parliament because it requires three fe of majority, So 19 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: the previous legislation is kind of closed and now the 20 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: turn is the move will be made by by the President. 21 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: Ian Bremo, Eurasia Group President and Michael Dada MK and 22 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: Partner's chief economists are with us. Ian. Let me come 23 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: to you first. I've got the euro against the Lotti 24 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: here and really we're actually pretty much flat on the day, 25 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: which suggests to me that FX market perhaps don't see 26 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: too much impact of what we've just heard in the 27 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: short term. But what are the owner term implications of 28 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: this tension between the EU and Poland. Poland along with 29 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: Hungary and really in some ways the entire visigrad for 30 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: in East Europe um are not adhering to rule of law. Uh. 31 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: They are increasingly soft authoritarian states. And it's a good 32 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: thing that the Polish president backed off what would have 33 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: been effectively undermining the independence of the entire Polish judiciary. 34 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: You'll remember that Trump they had fifteen thousand Poles bust 35 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: in to cheer him during his last trip to Europe 36 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: where he started off with Warsaw. But they didn't have 37 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: to bust in any of the hundreds of thousands that 38 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: were demonstrating against this move by the Polish government to 39 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: make the country authoritarian right in the middle of Europe. 40 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,519 Speaker 1: And by the way, got to give the Trump administration 41 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: credit on this. Tillerson's State Department actually came out with 42 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: a strongly worded memo UH telling the Polish government that 43 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: the U s would not find it acceptable if they 44 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: proceeded with this. So it's not as if Trump is 45 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: just embracing authoritarianism everywhere. I think President Duta recognized um 46 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: that he was going to be in rather deep um 47 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 1: if he pushed this hard, this quickly, and ultimately the 48 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: EU is gonna squeeze them too. But none of this 49 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: is going to change the fundamental direction in Poland, which 50 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: is against being well integrated in the EU. Okay, so 51 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: does it in any way then change the fundamental sort 52 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: of dynamics between Russia and the EU. Russia's interests in 53 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: the EU and more broadly is divide and conquer. They 54 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: want a weaker transatlantic relationship, which they are succeeding in 55 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: helping to facilitate. They want more divisions inside Europe with 56 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 1: you know, countries that can decide themselves how to work 57 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: with the Russians, which is why even the Germans opposed 58 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: that US sank against the Russians that was just passed 59 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: by the House yesterday, because German industry wants to do 60 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: North Stream pipeline and other business with the Russians, and 61 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: they also want more divisions inside the United States. If 62 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: you're a country like Russia whose economy total economy is 63 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: smaller than that of New York City, you're not winning 64 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: by having a well run global economy and global integration. 65 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: You win by having a backyard that no one else 66 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: can play, and that means you want weaker divisions all 67 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: around it. That's what Russia wants to see. And certainly 68 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: the fact that many countries in Europe, including candidate member 69 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: that will never become a member, Turkey with URDA one 70 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: and Putin being much more aligned than the Turks ever 71 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: were with the Europeans, those things all read down to 72 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: Russia's interest, Michael, right now, this is really important. This 73 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: has been out recently with Samuel Huntington as a comparing 74 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: contrast theoretically to what the president is doing. What are 75 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's flash of the civilizations, particularly as you look 76 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: at the European model out of World War Two? Well, 77 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: his speech in Warsaw. Was that agreed strongly by Germany, 78 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: strongly agreed in the Germans dislike? That's the right question, 79 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: because the Germans are the single American ally that have 80 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: the biggest problem with America throwing away support for liberal democracy. 81 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: Democracy was not in that speech. Instead, you heard him 82 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: talk about religion, You heard him talk about family, you 83 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: heard him talk about nation. In other words, all of 84 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: the things that bind together the Judeo Christian nations that 85 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: have nothing to do with liberal democracy. But Dr Bremer, 86 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: we have gone from a Harvard theorist Samuel Huntington's to say, 87 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: for read Cigaria's post American world to your g zero 88 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: world of notoriety. Can Donald Trump pull forward international relations 89 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: of Samuel Huntington's from forty and fifty years ago? Donald 90 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: Trump can align himself and parts of the United States 91 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: with others that support a regression to that kind of nationalism. 92 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: And one of the reasons he can do it is 93 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: because the world is heading in that direction anyway. China 94 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: clearly shows that right. So, but that's that's not going 95 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: to change the world order in America's favor. It's going 96 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: to instead create much more division. But this is so important. 97 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 1: Why it's a joy to have Dartin Bremer together. Michael Darda, 98 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: Can he do his theory he's talking about given the 99 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: tepid nominal GDP, the type animal spirit that Akerlufen Schiller 100 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: have written about, it ain't there. Isn't No, it's not there. 101 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: And frankly, if we're going to move towards more um 102 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: populist and protectionist policies on a global basis, it's probably 103 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: not coming back, or at least, you know, these fundamental 104 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: forces that are headwinds with regard to demographics probably end 105 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: up exacerbated by weakness and productivity with further headwinds if 106 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 1: we're you know, moving in in that direction. So I 107 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: think they fit together, Michael. Political risk was really the 108 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: name of the game when you were looking at Europe 109 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: in the first three or four months of the year. 110 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: When you look at European fundamentals, how much does political 111 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: risk factor into this for you? Towards the rest of 112 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: it's certainly a piece of the puzzle. But at least 113 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: as it regards the Eurozone, things do seem to be 114 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: going along pretty well. If you look at business confidence surveys, 115 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: pretty much on cycle highs the manufacturing p M eyes 116 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: pretty close to cycle highs GDP growth, although it's slow, 117 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: is growing fast enough to pull unemployment down. So you know, 118 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: I would have to say that that drug is succeeding, 119 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: the medicine is working, and the patient is reviving. The 120 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: patient is reviving. Can you say euros sclerosis is over? 121 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: Can you say it's a new research Europe? I camp 122 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: I don't buy that. Oh that's a different that's a 123 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: different question. Yeah, but let me asking you a different question. Well, look, 124 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: I see that President Macran's popularity has taken a nearly 125 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: Why did that happen? Well, I mean, why did the 126 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: French election happen? People forget that he was this close 127 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: to not being in the final round and instead it 128 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: was going to be melanch On on the far left 129 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: and the pen on the far right, that we'd be 130 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: having no no one would be asking whether or not 131 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: the euro was coming together if that with a situation. 132 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: But because we got through it, now Macron, everyone says, oh, 133 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: now France is the new model. The structural problems in France, 134 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: the malaise among the French is getting worse. You're saying, 135 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: even getting with Michael Darry, you wrote about this with 136 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: Judewinski a million years ago. Are we out of eurosclerosis 137 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: in America? Or are we out of eurosclerosis in Europe? 138 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: That's the theme. I don't buy it. No, I think 139 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: the answers no. I mean what I was talking about, 140 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: you know, with the business cycle dynamics, you know, is 141 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: essentially they're they're coming out of unfortunate double dip, you know, 142 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: two year recession, so they're growing faster than potential. You're 143 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: focused on potential growth, which is quite slow due to 144 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: headwinds from very weak labor force growth you know, weaker 145 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,839 Speaker 1: in Europe and certainly um Japan and in the US, 146 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: and weak productivity. I mean that all ley besides and 147 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: determines how fast you can grow over the long run. 148 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: If you're coming out of a ditch, you know you 149 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: can and you should grow faster than the growth or 150 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: the potential. But over the long term, once you know 151 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: the business cycle is healed and fully recovered, potential growth 152 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: uh drives everything, and that's quite weak in Europe and 153 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: in the US.

Calhoun, South Carolina to Jim de Minsk, South 160 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: Carolina is maybe not all that far. The Senator from 161 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: South Carolina, Jim Demant, Jim, you're much in the news. 162 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 1: David Guru has got smarter political questions than I do. 163 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna start with a simple observation. Is Donald 164 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: Trump a conservative? I don't know if he's a philosophical conservative. 165 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: He's a pragmatic businessman, but his instincts move in the 166 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: conservative direction of limited government and free people, free markets. 167 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: So he's certainly been easy to work with. And as 168 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: far as the policies that he's followed in his administration 169 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: so far, they've looked pretty good to conservatives. The Senator 170 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: from Alabama wouldn't agree with you. It has not been 171 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: easy to work with. From Mr Sessions. Can Mr Sessions 172 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: survive the weekend? The week or can he even survive Wednesday? 173 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: I sure hope. So there's no more honorable man than 174 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions, and I know he would make the whole 175 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: country proud if he continues as Attorney General. I understand 176 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:01,119 Speaker 1: the President's frustration. The recusal put the UH the presidents 177 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: of fate in the hands of an assistant that Jeff 178 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: Sessions had nothing to do with, but appointed a special 179 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: prosecutor who is now on a witch hunt with a 180 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: lot of Democrats support. UH. This is hard for the president, 181 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: but getting rid of Sessions is not going to solve 182 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: the problem. I think it will make it much worse. 183 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: So I hope Jeff Sessions and UH the President Trump 184 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: can get together and talk this through and and restore 185 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: that relationship, because there's no better friend to have in 186 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: Washington than Jeff Sessions. Senator meant you've seen the fishers, 187 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: the fractures in the Republican Party. They're these splinter groups 188 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: now in the House of Representatives in particular. Of course, 189 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: you went from the Senate to the Heritage found Institute, 190 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation, then you are now are starting the 191 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: Conservative Partnership Institute in Washington, d C. Conservatives and clearly 192 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: very important to you. How at home do you feel 193 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: in the Republican Party today? Do you see a Republican 194 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 1: party that can coalesce all these different groups. Well, Republicans 195 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: are independent by nature. There's always been kind of the 196 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: moderate Rockefellow wing and the conservative wing. What we're doing 197 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: with the Conservative Partnership Institute is to pull conservatives together, 198 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: to pull their staff together, to train them to develop 199 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: consensus among members so that they can leverage their collective clout. 200 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: Right now, Conservatives are independent enough that they might have 201 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: ten different positions on an issue, and that doesn't help 202 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: them get anything done, and it makes it hard for 203 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: leadership to work with them. So that's what we're going 204 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 1: to be doing at the Conservative Partnership Institute, and that's 205 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: Conservative Partnership dot org for anyone who wants to follow 206 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: what we're doing. But I think Republicans uh campaign as conservative, 207 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: the campaign to repeal Obamacare. They need to start keeping 208 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: their promises, you know. I But there are a number 209 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: of Civics teachers who were scratching their heads last night 210 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: wondering how they could explain to their classes of what 211 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: happened yesterday in the US. Said, what do you make 212 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: of the way all of this was was engineered on 213 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: the Senate floor yesterday afternoon? Well, it was simply a 214 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: motion to proceed to the debate on a healthcare bill. 215 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: And the problem is is that all of us is 216 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: conservd is know that if it it's not planned in advance, uh, 217 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: particularly under the reconciliation process, that the debate and amendment 218 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: process is a real free for all where things can 219 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: go terribly wrong. So I'm not sure what's gonna happen. 220 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: But and Republicans are in a position where they lose 221 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: if they do nothing, and they're probably gonna lose if 222 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: they do something. But we cannot let Obamacare stand as 223 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: it is. It's hurting millions of Americans and it's going 224 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: to destroy the American health care system. So Republicans have 225 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: got to try, even if they don't have the votes 226 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: on total repeal. You know, Senator, and I will always 227 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: call you Senator because of Mr Calhoun, you are fifty 228 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: five miles from Abville. I want you to explain to 229 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: the conservatives, the Tea party types that have diagonal Jim 230 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: de Mint supporters. I want you to explain to them 231 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: how they do business with moderate Republicans and conservative Scoop 232 00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: Jackson Democrats that is not getting done in America. How 233 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 1: did the John C. Calhoun's in Jim, demins do business 234 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: whether different political worlds, and a lot of states are 235 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: are now moving in a more conservative direction, and you 236 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: have more moderate Democrats at the state level who are 237 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: working with Republicans because there's not such a strong government 238 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: union presence out across America. But in Washington, the controlling 239 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: force for the Democrats are the government unions. They're pushing 240 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: the Democrats in a in a direction of more government, 241 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: and so the polarization in Washington is much different than 242 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: the rest of the King said, I know David's got 243 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: eight questions as well. I'm gonna be very quick here. 244 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: Can the Democrats move right? Is there any can Nancy 245 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: Pelosi find a Democratic party that can win Wisconsin and Michigan. 246 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: It's Republicans are gonna have to beat themselves because of 247 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: the platform that the Democrats run on. In the evidence 248 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: of their particularly their economic policies, the last ten years 249 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: have demonstrated that it is bad. It hurts people, it 250 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: hurts the economy, it hurts everybody they claim to help, 251 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: and so Republicans need to make their message clearer. Their 252 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: policies work, but their message has not made it clear 253 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: to all Americans. That their lives will be better with 254 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: the Republican leadership. Last question here, returning to what Tom 255 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: asked you at the beginning of the interview. Here, you've 256 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: got a president who is not an ideological conservative, as 257 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: you say, how difficult does that make it for somebody 258 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: like you, for your colleagues who are still in the 259 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: Senate who are conservatives, not having a president who really 260 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: takes up that mental I don't think it's a problem, 261 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: and that the president is looking for solutions. I mean, 262 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: he he wants the shortest distance between where we are 263 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: and where we need to go, and he's committed to 264 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: keeping his promises. We just have to convince him that 265 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: our conservative policies ideas are going to work best for America. 266 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: So we've got a fair chance with this president to 267 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: make our case. And that's not a bad situation to 268 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: be in. And uh, in politics, that's about as good 269 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: as it gets. And think very much appreciate the time 270 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: today that Senator Jim tom In, former senator from the 271 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: state of South Carolina, formerly of the Heritage Foundation, now 272 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: starting a Conservative Partnership Institute in Washington see focused on 273 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: the presence of conservatives in Washington. Great to speak with 274 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: him here on bloombergs Valance. I liked that idea David 275 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: Republicans will have to beat themselves that is fraught with 276 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: further conversation. Seth Carpenter at UBS it joins us year 277 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: Um ahead of the economics research as well. Seth Um 278 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: your note with Sam Coffin and Robert sucking Um. There's 279 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: a there's a real consensus theme about what we're gonna 280 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: see in this FED meeting. You you have the good 281 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: fortune of going into past statements and getting out the 282 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: Seth Carpenter red highlighter and moving words around. Which word 283 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: will you look for when they released the August statement 284 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: this July, so, I think what's going to be most 285 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: telling is how they characterize in inflation. That's clearly been 286 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: at the center of their debate. In terms of the 287 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: timing of the next rate hike, there's an off chance, 288 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: not at all our modal forecast, but an off chance 289 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: that they may say something about the timing of the balance. 290 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: She runoff because Janet Ewen has said that could happen 291 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: relatively soon. Leo Brainerd said that uh normalization of the 292 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: funds rate is quote well underway, and that's been their 293 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 1: trigger word, but inflation should be first and foremost. You 294 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: dip down at the bottom. I believe you've underlined out 295 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: the dissenters. Is everybody on the same page? Good question? Everybody? 296 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: You mean within the Yeah, they are we going to 297 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: see any dissenters today in the voting. So I suspect 298 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: we're not going to see dissents, But that's not the 299 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: same thing as that everyone is in agreement. I think 300 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: what was very interesting from my perspective, and this is 301 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: how we wrote this up in our UBS reports on 302 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: the MC in June, Cherry yelling at the press conference 303 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: how it extraordinarily confident about the outlook for inflation. And 304 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: I was actually quite struck listening to her. So our 305 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: report that day said, it's surprising how confident she is. 306 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: Will be interesting to see in the minutes whether that 307 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: confidence is shared. And sure enough we got the minutes 308 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: from the June meeting and there was a much much 309 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: more diversity of you about the confidence for inflation. And 310 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: I think that that diversity of us is continuing, the 311 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: diversity those vis continue looking at the confidence in your report. 312 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: You're confident here, and how the committee is going to 313 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: write about or talk about the labor side of things. 314 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: When it comes to inflation, what do you think the 315 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: consensus is going to be in that statement this afternoon. 316 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: So the FED, when one needs to keep in mind, 317 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: at the center of the MC, so cherry yelling and 318 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: in the core of the MC are still very much 319 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: Phillips curve minded economists. That's their framework for thinking about inflation. 320 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: And so when they are thinking about inflation, they're looking 321 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: at how tight the labor market is now and how 322 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: tight it's going to be in coming months, and that's 323 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: going to drive their modal forecast for inflation. Clearly there's 324 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: variation month to month, and I think it's how much 325 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: signal one takes from the high frequency variation versus how 326 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: confident one is in the model that drives the diversity 327 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: of views within the influency. When you look at the 328 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: timeline for hiking here, how much of that is tied 329 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: to the inflation data, to inflation expectations, how much of 330 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: it is just the fit now that it's starting wanting 331 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: to proceed to pace. Yeah, so that's the that's a 332 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: great question. I think, uh, it is. The timing of 333 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: more hikes depends a lot on how the data turn 334 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: out how inflation turns out. Cher Yellen was in fact 335 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: explicit at her congressional testimony that the timing of subsequent 336 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: rate hikes would very much depend on the outlook for inflation. Uh. 337 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting when she made that comment, though, 338 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: that she left out the decisions about the balance sheet. 339 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: So it seems as if the decisions about the balance 340 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: sheets are pretty much decided, they just have to work 341 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: out specifically when, But the timing of the rate hikes 342 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: absolutely depends on on inflation. You have a spectacular UBS 343 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: page analysis on productivity. I want to come back and 344 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: talk about this in the next session, but uh, Seth 345 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: Carpenter quickly here, what did UBS learn when you dove 346 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: into the details of our lack of productivity? Yeah, so 347 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: productivity is clearly one of the big topics in macroeconomics now, 348 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: and we had UBS realized that we needed to make 349 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: sure we started jumping into the conversation. I think the 350 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: main thing to take away is that the current decade 351 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: is the slowest decade for growth and productivity that we've 352 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: seen since the Second World War, and the biggest, biggest 353 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: contributor to that slow down. The thing that's missing in 354 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: this decade is what we call capital intensity intensity, So 355 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: how much and what the quality of capital is being 356 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: used in production. I've been doing a lot folks on 357 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: labor share, the quality of the the efficiency of labor, 358 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: the size of labor, if you will, within the American economy. 359 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: It's jaw dropping chart. It maybe my chart of the year, 360 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: but this will be special. We'll come back with Seth 361 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: Carpenter and dive into the stuff out there, the capital 362 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: out there, uh, that that is in America and really 363 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: has not been part of our investment scheme in this 364 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: financial crisis. Where joined right now by Seth Carpenter is 365 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: the chief US economist at UPS. Is on our phone lines, 366 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 1: Seth phenomenal work on productivity, our bulldozers. Capital stock. What 367 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: is capital stock? Yeah, I know this is at time 368 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: you sort of have to combine philosophy with economics. But 369 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: capital stock, you should really think of it as the 370 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: physical uh, equipment plan equipment in general, that that the 371 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: economy uses to to produce things. But there's also investment 372 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: in intellectual property. And so that's part of what is 373 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: making the ongoing puzzle that much or challenging is the 374 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: evolution of the u S economy going more towards the 375 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: service sector, less manufacturing, when it was just the manufacturing 376 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: industrial economy. Much easier concept to wrap your head around, 377 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,239 Speaker 1: much easier to measure. And so I think economists are 378 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: going to be struggling for a while now with with 379 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: all of these measurement issues, all these measurement issues. How 380 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 1: how much better is that the FED getting it measuring 381 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: these things? Has been this ongoing conversation about the fedsibility 382 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: capacity to to forecast. Has that criticism been meant by 383 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: any changes in how the FED goes about forecasting. I 384 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,479 Speaker 1: mean one thing I'll say, and and perhaps I'm biased 385 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: because I sort of grew up intellectually at the at 386 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: the FED I was. I was economists for fifteen years. Uh, 387 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: but yeah, I appreciate that. Uh. You know, the FED 388 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: has a great staff. They take their jobs extraordinarily seriously. 389 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: They are deep, deep, deep into all of the data. 390 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: They have frequent conversations with everyone who's a data provider. 391 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: So if you think about the b E A or 392 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 1: the BLUH, so the FED, the FED team does about 393 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: as good a job as one can imagine being able 394 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: to do with the data that are okay, do they 395 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: measure technology. One of the things that we talk about, 396 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: folks on the mic, off the mic, is in fifteen 397 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 1: or twenty years South Carpenter, are we going to need 398 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: to completely reframe the impact of technology? And Janet Yellin's America. 399 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: So my guess is fifteen years from now we absolutely 400 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: will have a fairly different perspective on what's going on. 401 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 1: We just can't see exactly what it is right now. 402 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: But there's a there's a tricky, tricky aspect to thinking 403 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: about technology and productivity and how it affects the economy. 404 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: So in the long run, which Kane famously said, in 405 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: the long run, we're all dead. But in the long run, 406 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: higher productivity, more technology per worker should lead to higher 407 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: interest rates, which is clearly not what we're seeing now. 408 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: But if at some point in time you get this 409 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 1: increase in productivity so the economy can produce so much 410 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: more with a given amount of of inputs, with a 411 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: given amount of labor, that just means there's doward pressure 412 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: on inflation, and so the central bank would, in order 413 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: to make sure you stay at full employment, keep interest 414 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: right low for longer. So the trickiest thing for economists 415 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: to ever explain is the difference between the short run 416 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: and the long run and when you start talking about 417 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: technology and what it does to the economy, that that 418 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: that tension comes big time. Job Today we often have 419 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: the pleasure of talking with with Alan Krueger, Princeton University 420 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: Morning Professor Krueger. If you're you're listening, let me ask 421 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: you if I could hear if we're getting any better 422 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: at measuring part time work in this country. That's something 423 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: Dr Krueger carries an awful lot about has been working 424 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: on that, especially in the context of rides sharing another services. 425 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: When when you look at the labor economy or we 426 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: better at understanding the role that that's playing and indeed 427 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 1: will play here going forward. Yeah. So, I mean, if 428 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: you're going to have Alan Kruger on that would be 429 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: a great time to ask him. He's clearly one of 430 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: the field's expert on that. You know. My my sense 431 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: on this is we will be getting better over time. 432 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: But the role of the so called gig economy in 433 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,719 Speaker 1: the overall economy is not you right now, but it's 434 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 1: clearly growing and as a result, I think we will 435 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: be getting better and better at refining those techniques You 436 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: could imagine, for example, that on job's day, when you're 437 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: asking people how much they're working, if someone is self employed, um, 438 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: are they really really good at part saying how many 439 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: hours per day they're working? If they're if they're they're 440 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: self employed in that regard. And I think that's a 441 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: question that probably didn't matter as much twenty years ago, 442 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: but matters more now and will matter a lot more 443 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: ten years from now.
