1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news the single best idea.

2
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: And we're careful here in the last number of days

3
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: in real conversation among the team about getting the right

4
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: guests on the news in the Eastern Mediterranean over to Tehran.

5
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 1: We're really working and not getting pundits and what's it

6
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: mean for the election and that, but just people that

7
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: are steeped the region and that have experience as well.

8
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: Robert D. Kaplan has been affiliated with Brookings. He was

9
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: a Eurasia group with Ian Bremer and he is absolutely

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: definitive with a series of books. I'm going to say

11
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: ten books, which is basically get out the map and go,

12
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: and that has been his esteemed career. Whether you agree

13
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: or disagree with him, he gets out the map and

14
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: he goes. He visits, He parachutes in to troubled regions

15
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: across all of the globe. The Loom of Time was

16
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: my book of the Year last year. It's just spectacular,

17
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: going from Morocco and Gibraltar all the way over to

18
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: the Fertile Crescent. He has a new effort. I really

19
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: want to emphasize I've never done this before. It's almost

20
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: an election book. It's one hundred and fifteen pages warning.

21
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: Its dense, no mathematics, but a lot of dense thinking,

22
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: taking us from the Greeks forward to how we think today.

23
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: It is the tragic behind fear, fate and the burden

24
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: of power. Robert T. Kep I can't say enough about

25
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: this effort. He visited with us this morning. Robert T.

26
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: Kamplan on how to end the tragedy of the Eastern Mediterranean.

27
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: I think the fate of the Eastern Mediterranean is that

28
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: we will be in this cycle of wars, cease fires,

29
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: negotiations until or is a domestic change in the regime

30
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: inside Iran. Remember, the Cold War ended not because of

31
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: a battle was won or anything international. It ended for

32
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: it because of a domestic reason. The Soviet system collapsed.

33
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: And I think at some point the regime in Iran

34
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 2: will transform, transition or collapse on its own, not from

35
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: an invasion or anything. And at that point the whole

36
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 2: Middle East will be different. You'll see diplomatic relations between

37
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: Iran and Israel, lots of other big changes. But the

38
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: key thing to watch here is that if the Israeli

39
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: attack can do something that will the Israeli counterattack can

40
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 2: do something that will seriously embarrass the regime and Tehran

41
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: in the minds of its own people.

42
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: We continue with the Roberty cap on, a theme that

43
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: we've had over the last number of days of looking

44
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: at it. They're modern politics versus the time of it's

45
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: ak Rabin.

46
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: It'sak Rabin first of all, would not be the leader

47
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 2: of such a right wing, extreme Israeli government. Yitzhak Rabin

48
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: was comfortable negotiating with people who, frankly, frankly, with Americans

49
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: who frankly, were much smarter than the Biden administration. The

50
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: Biden President. Biden made a big mistake in the last

51
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: forty eight hours. He he said publicly that Israel should

52
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: not attack the Iranian nuclear facilities. That's something you communicate privately,

53
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: not publicly, because you should never tell your enemy what

54
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: you're not gonna do, never take anything off the table.

55
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: Yitzhak Rabin was a really wily operator, and I think

56
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: now he's you know, given this situation right at this moment,

57
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: being would hit Iran very hard. So though rob Bean

58
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: and Neatsanya, who are from two opposite ends of the

59
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: political spectrum in Israel, at this moment, they would be this,

60
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: you know, they would be aligned Robert Kaplan.

61
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: And again I can't say enough about the tragic mind,

62
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: your fate in the burden of power. It's what I'm

63
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: reading right now. Got to slip this in. It's too important.

64
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,559
Speaker 1: Nathan Sheet's with us some City group today. He's really

65
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: good at really high level reports on where we are

66
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: and what we don't know. In the Jobs Day tomorrow

67
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: on Nathan Sheets on the strangeness of our productivity.

68
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: I think at the moment we're seeing very strong productivity growth. Again,

69
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 3: I'm interpreting that as post pandemic kind of cyclical adjustment.

70
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: But nevertheless, underneath that, I am a productivity poll. I

71
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 3: think this new AI technology that's being developed is fundamental,

72
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: and I think that out you know, three five, seven years,

73
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: we are likely in the United States and over time

74
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 3: globally to have a significant productivity devindad on the order

75
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: of what we saw with the integration of the Internet

76
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: in the late nineties.

77
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: So I am polish.

78
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 3: I think that AI is the real deal.

79
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: Nathan Sheets of City Group there, and of course a

80
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: good overlay into the mysteries of eight thirty tomorrow morning.

81
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: We'll go beneath the headline data. Michael McKee, leading our
