1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. Single best idea, the

2
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: herd and heritage of what we've been doing for years

3
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 1: is to keep track of our good guests and understand

4
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 1: we have levels of guests and people just coming up,

5
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: kids right out of school they've never been on radio

6
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: or TV before, and grizzled veterans and all, and of

7
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: course people that you know, they just get older and

8
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: move on. And the answer is, in times like this

9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: you try to go to experts. The first call that

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: we made yesterday was to Angela's Stent of the Brookings Institution.

11
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: Her book Putin's World was my book of the year,

12
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: I think three years ago. I selected my book of

13
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: the year that year. In late February, when there was

14
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: an invasion of here is Angela's Stent on the shocking

15
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: headline that the United States of America joined Russia at

16
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: the United Nations.

17
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: This was truly shocking. I mean, who did we veto

18
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 2: the resolution condemning Russia with our good friends North Korea, Russia, Yelorus, Syria,

19
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: the Central African Republic Nicaragua. I won't go on. Even

20
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: China and Iran abstained from that vote. So Ronald Reagan

21
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: would be turning in his grave, as would many others.

22
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: It's really quite remarkable. And if you think of what

23
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: the US has stood for, you know, for the past

24
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 2: eighty years, since the end of World War Two, through

25
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 2: the Cold War, through the post Soviet era, it's quite

26
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: remarkable that we veto a resolution that condemns the Russian

27
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: invasion of Ukraine.

28
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: Angela's stent of the Brookings Institution, we continued on with

29
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: their many different as to take here a movable feast

30
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: of news. By the time you hear single best idea,

31
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: you know what, the news may have changed more with

32
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: Angela's stent.

33
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 2: I think that the Trump administration is still believing, for instance,

34
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: that if we have this for Approshmaile with Russia, Russia

35
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: will decide to distance itself from China and will reverse course.

36
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: I think that's highly unlikely, but I think that's one

37
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 2: thing that's going on here. And I think it's also

38
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: the US trying to show to those countries that supported US,

39
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: and I guess those who have stained that you know,

40
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: we're not necessarily taking sides in this. We recognize that

41
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: Russia is a great power, and we're going to try

42
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,279
Speaker 2: and do something.

43
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: Different Angela's stint. I'm sure we'll be speaking to her

44
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: in the coming weeks. This is a heritage of the

45
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: program that goes back to the late Marshall Goldman of

46
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: Wellesley and Harvard, all the work we've done over the

47
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: years on Russia, and to see where we are now,

48
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: we can only call upon Henry Winter and the rest

49
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: of Bloomberg News where their expertise are Moscow, and of

50
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: course these experts like doctor Stent Again. Her book is
