Mounting tensions, mounting tensions between the 20 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 1: US and China, uh. The President has vowed yesterday to 21 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: sharply scale back US and China economic ties. Decoupling is 22 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: the word that you're going to be hearing a lot 23 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: more of, especially as top administration level officials, even some 24 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: cabinet level officials, have begun to use fiery rhetoric in 25 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: their speeches, particularly about the alleged miss Uh, the alleged 26 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: abuses of human rights for uh Weiger minority uh Weaker 27 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: Muslims in the Shenjang region of China. The US has 28 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: barred some China Shenjang firms citing that alleged Weaker abuse. 29 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: Tom Orlike is my first guest. He literally wrote the 30 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: the book China, The Bubble That Never Pops. He has 31 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Economics chief Econo miss and of course the author 32 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: of the book China The Bubble That Never Pops. Tom. 33 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: It's it felt like over the the holiday weekend, Labor 34 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: Day weekend, the escalations rhetorically and to some extent the 35 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: supply chain, it escalated. It turned a new corner. Am 36 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: I wrong or no? I think certainly escalation is the 37 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: right word, Kevin um And as we head towards November, 38 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: especially with the virus story and the domestic economy story 39 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: not working out so great for the for the Trump administration, 40 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: I think there's going to be a political incentive there 41 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: to continue ratcheting up the pressure on China and try 42 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: and make that into a kind of dividing line issue 43 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: as Americans approached the polls at the beginning of November, 44 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: and you know, it's interesting, Tom and you know, there's 45 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: better than anyone. Typically in the lead up till an 46 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: election in geopolitics takes a back seat, but this election, 47 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: it seems that there's more of an incentive on behalf 48 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: of President Trump to to try to do things as 49 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: it relates to China. In addition to the rhetoric that 50 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: that that's a that's a nuance, I think that we're 51 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: seeing now that we might have to hear from uh 52 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: from Biden world on. Yeah. I think that's an important differentiator. 53 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: Kevin and I wouldn't be surprised if it's something which 54 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: the Trump campaign talks about. Right. So it's not uncommon 55 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: for presidential campaigns to talk tough about China. Clinton, Bush, Junior, Obama, Romney, 56 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: they all talked tough about about China. But once they 57 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: get into office, Um, the policy becomes much more nuanced, 58 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: much more balanced. There's a concern to protect the interests 59 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: of US companies in China, for example. Um, the Trump 60 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: administry has clearly been different. They've imposed tariffs on billions 61 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: of dollars worth of goods, They've imposed sanctions on tech 62 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: companies as you've reported, Kevin, and they've now imposed sanctions 63 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: on some companies operating out of Shinjiang, up in the 64 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: northwest of China. So there's really a clear differentiation between 65 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: the Trump administration and past administrations on China policy. Of course, 66 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: Biden was part of the past administrations. UM, So I'm 67 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: my expectation is the Trump team are going to try 68 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: and draw a kind of a bright line between the 69 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: two sides on the China issue. David, if you're going 70 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: to join us in the next hour and we'll continue 71 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: this conversation. But as you just mentioned over the weekend 72 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: and talking with administration sources, the Department of Homeland Security 73 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: has now gotten into this US China escalation and they're 74 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: using a tool that what is previously little used, but 75 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: now they're going to be using it quite frequently. It's 76 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: called withholding release orders w r o s. In the 77 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: wrong world as it's called, withholding release orders, and they 78 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: are essentially blocking or banning the imports from three companies 79 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: in Shinjang region of China over Beijing's alleged repression of 80 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: the weaker Muslim minority group, and they're planning to add 81 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: curbs on six more firms. Now, cotton is a massive, 82 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: massive export for Shinjang, and of China's exports of cotton 83 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: come from the Shinjang region, and thirty of America's imports 84 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: of of clothing come from China. This according uh to 85 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: various think tanks here in town. So they're going after textiles, 86 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: they're targeting hair extensions. They're actually considering targeting a chip 87 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: maker in this region that is the chip for a 88 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: lot of the inexpensive laptops that schools are using. And 89 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: if you've been following the reports of the back large 90 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: of laptops and tomatoes, so it's it's it's sprinkled. Is 91 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: this just a foreshadowing tom warlick of what potentially could 92 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: come should they say start to target chips. I don't 93 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: know in um in other parts of the supply chain. 94 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 1: Maybe their headquartered in Taiwan, but they've got some plants 95 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: in the mainland. So you can do this broad or 96 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: you can do this narrow. Kevin m think about the 97 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: ban on we Chat that we had a few weeks ago. Now, 98 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: there was a broadway of doing that to say all right, 99 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: US companies, you can't use we Chat anymore, and that 100 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: would have ended up being a disaster for everyone from 101 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: Apple to McDonald to Starbucks who do business in China, 102 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: where we Chat is kind of almost just like cash 103 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: in terms of its ubiquity. Um, all that the narrow 104 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: way of doing this and say yeah, we're not actually 105 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 1: gonna take aim at the big things which matter for 106 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: the bottom line for US corporations. So I think we 107 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: could see that playing out with the cotton thing. Right, 108 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: So there's a broad way of doing it where you say, okay, 109 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: we're going to track all the cotton coming from Shinjang, 110 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: and we don't care if it goes direct to the 111 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: US or it goes to a factory and then goes 112 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: to Vietnam and then comes to the US. We don't 113 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: want it. And that's the sort of thing which would 114 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: really hit the fashion industry, hit the retail industry, and 115 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: have a broader impact on the global economy, um or 116 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: there's a narrow way of doing it and saying, yeah, 117 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: we're just going to look at this particular company and 118 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: we're not going to track things very closely. So I 119 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: suspect I suspect it's going to be the narrow approach, Kevin. 120 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: Because the US administration they want to be tough on this. 121 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: They want to differentiate between the Trump and the Biden campaigns, 122 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: but they don't want to tank the stock market. They 123 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: don't want to tank the economy when there's already so 124 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: many troubles with COVID ahead of the election, and it's 125 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: so so. I mean, what you're saying is is is literally, folks. 126 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: I mean Tom or like if you haven't picked up 127 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: the new book, read it because you'll learn something. I 128 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: mean China, the bubble that never pops, Tom more like 129 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Economics chief economists, you know, Tom, I mean what 130 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: you're talking about. We talk about contact tracing as if 131 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: it's just I'll get your temperature check before you can 132 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: go back to the movies or back to the office. 133 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: But contact tracing, folks, also relates to the parts in 134 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: your clothes, the computer chips in your laptops, the where 135 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: where the supply chain of your the components of your pills. 136 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: And there's actually technology that's able to track whether or 137 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: not the US was to introduce the ban, but the 138 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: Shinjeang province just goes through I don't know, South America, 139 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: Latin America. There's actually technology that would allow for the 140 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: US to detect the contact tracing of the materials and 141 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 1: the components of these goods. It's getting incredibly interesting. It's 142 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: incredibly nuanced, and that's why I'm so incredibly grateful to 143 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: kick off today's show with Tom or Like Bloomberg Economics 144 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: Chief Economists and um and of course the author of 145 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: China The Bubble That Never Pops Coming up, we're pivoting 146 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: to the markets.

I really appreciate it anytime. 172 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: It was another pretty aggressive sell off. I mean it's 173 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: the third day in a row. As you said, coming in, UM, 174 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 1: I would describe it as orderly but aggressive. And I 175 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: think that it's not entirely unexpected. I mean, the names 176 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: that lead the multi month rally on the way up, 177 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: the big tech names, are the ones that are leading 178 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: it right back down. I think you've got a lot 179 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: of investors out there who are looking for reasons to 180 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: sell and take some profits in those bigger names. And 181 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: you know they're getting it there. UM, they're seeing some 182 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: some opportunities to get out now. UM. They're not getting 183 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: great news UM out of DC. They're not getting great 184 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: news out of Europe. They're not getting great news out 185 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: of UM the U S relationship with China, UM. And 186 00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,079 Speaker 1: you know they got some some it's good to to 187 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 1: better than average economic data in in August. But I 188 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: think UH folks are are looking to take a take 189 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 1: a break and taking the foot off the gas. And 190 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: that's what that's what you're seeing. It's a it's a 191 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 1: pretty normal occurrence. I just think it's happening like a 192 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 1: lot of things in the market a lot faster, and 193 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot more volatility um than you normally see. 194 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: So um uh, my colleague Jonathan Pharaoh on Bloomberg Surveillance 195 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: uh interview Larry Cudload the other the other day and 196 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: asked him whether or not this was just volatility or 197 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: if it's a correction. I'm looking at some of this 198 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: on the Bloomberg terminal. Tesla suffering the worst route in 199 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: its history and is now down in September, Apple six 200 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 1: point nine percent plunge wiped out almost a hundred and 201 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: forty billion dollars in market value on Tuesday, while it's 202 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: three days slide swells of fourteen percent, which is the 203 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: most in October two thousand and eight. So what what 204 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: do you attribute app the the movement from Tesla and Apple? 205 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: What do you attribute that to? So? I mean, technically, 206 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, a correction, it's a ten percent down move, 207 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 1: a bear move is and so you've got a one 208 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: day bear move in Tesla today. That's a huge sell off. 209 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: It's it's worth remembering. I mean, these are the companies 210 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: that have really led this rally higher. They've driven NASDAK, 211 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 1: you know, up Um they were Nada was on the 212 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: year until this selloff started. Um they dragged the S 213 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: and P positive on the year, which you know, maybe 214 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: it has no right to be when you think about 215 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: everything that the U. S. Economy has gone through over 216 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: the last six months. Uh. And so you know, it's 217 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: always the natural occurrence, I think when UM these stocks 218 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: lead the way higher. And you know, Tesla even after 219 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 1: a down day today is probably still up over three 220 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: percent for the year. Probably UM, you know, Apple still 221 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 1: have any huge year even if they're given up UM 222 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: a lot of that over the last couple of days. 223 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: And so realistically, you know, I think you've got a 224 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: lot of UM, a lot of reason to to take 225 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: some profit in those names, UM because you know, maybe 226 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: they were ahead of themselves. Maybe they were um, you know, 227 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: pushed higher for you know, for different reasons than normal. 228 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: Maybe it's a bigger retail push um out of those 229 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: Robin Hood names. Maybe it's the story about UH, about 230 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 1: soft Bank and about um, you know, the huge nazdak 231 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: uh call bets that they were making. There are reasons 232 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: why the market you know, got a little bit ahead 233 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: of itself, or you know, fairly aggressively ahead of itself 234 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: and um and the names that take it higher, the 235 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: names that bring it back down, you know, it is. 236 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: It is fascinating. I was having a conversation with the 237 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: source earlier today just about what precisely, uh Wall Street, 238 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: Main Street are really looking off of. It felt a 239 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago that every every development was hanging 240 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: on news of a vaccine and the implementation of a vaccine. 241 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: Are they gonna have enough syringes, Are they gonna have 242 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: enough glass capsules? Are they gonna have enough freezers? You know? 243 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: And now there's a freezer shortage apparently um to to 244 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: to keep the medicine in. And then now it's the 245 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: volatility pertaining to November three in the election in US 246 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: postal service and of course China. What do you think, 247 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: Trevor Hanger? What do you think of Forbes? Tate is 248 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: really the one issue that markets are having to decipher 249 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: right now and and business owners are having to decipher 250 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: right now because there just seems to be a lot 251 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: of uncertainty, fiscal stimulus being one. I didn't even mention 252 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: that sure, so I think, you know, there's a difference there, 253 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: I think meaningfully between investors and business owners and that's 254 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: I think, you know, for for investors, I think one 255 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: of the major questions now is what continues to drive 256 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: markets higher from here. There's been a fair amount of 257 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: money that has stayed on the sidelines that has missed 258 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: this rally, and so for you know, just like there 259 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: are groups of people who are looking for excuse to 260 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: sell and got them over the last three or four days, 261 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: you know, there's still you know, investors out there who 262 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: are looking for reasons to buy in a ten or 263 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 1: eleven percent correction in the NASA could be that, you know, 264 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: that excuse. And so you know, I think if you're 265 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: an investor, you're really looking for, um, you know, a 266 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: solid foundation for why you think um, you know, valuations 267 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: make sense where they are after this big run up 268 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: in in August um and whether you think that there 269 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: is enough of an undercurrent in the market to keep 270 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: that going. Now. Obviously, you know the FED and all 271 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: of the actions that Chairman Pale have taken has taken 272 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: over the last six months. That's put a huge up 273 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: draft into this market as well. And you have to 274 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: believe that that that input, you know, that that FED 275 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: put as they call it, isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Um, 276 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: if your business owner, I think you have a much 277 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: different conversation to have, because you know, large slats of 278 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: the U. S economy seem to be really struggling. Still. 279 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: You're looking at unemployment even you know, after a really 280 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: strong unemployment report last Friday, you're still looking at eight 281 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: and a half percent unemployment. You're still looking at a 282 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: million new people every week filing initial jobless claims. You're 283 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: still looking at twenty nine million Americans, you know, getting 284 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: unemployment benefits of one kind or another on a weekly basis. 285 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: And you have to really ask yourself at a sector 286 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: by sector level, Uh, you know what is it? It's 287 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 1: going to keep my business uh moving along, getting better, 288 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: getting healthier. You know, as we get into the into 289 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter here, and obviously you know you have 290 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: this huge overhang with discal stimulus. Are um, Congress gonna 291 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: gonna be able to work this out in time to 292 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: include it in the CR or not? I mean, that's 293 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: so very much an open one knows. No one knows, Trevor, 294 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,959 Speaker 1: no one knows. I tried. Every day I wake up, 295 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: I tell Lisa, I tell Lisa bremon Witz, I said, 296 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: I feel like a rerun. I got nothing final question 297 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: for you before I let you go, and even so 298 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: generous with your time. Trevor Hangar with Forbes Tate Partners. 299 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: The politicization of the vaccination process. I mean, no matter 300 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: if you're a Republican or a Democrat, there's no escaping 301 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: that this whole entire thing has become politicized. If you're 302 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: a Democrat, your blame Republicans for the politicization. If you're 303 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: a Republican, you're blame in Democrats for the politicization. But 304 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: the politicization of the vaccination process, say that three times fast. 305 00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: What does it mean for the markets? So yeah, I 306 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: think it's an important question. I think the statement put 307 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: out today by leading drug manufacturers is something to put 308 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: some you know, investors at ease, right to make sure 309 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: that there is no uh you know, there's no nefarious 310 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: or or um you know, or untoward decision making going 311 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: on around what gets approved and when, uh you know. 312 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: From an investor standpoint, I think it's important for um 313 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: for investors to see that there continues to be progress 314 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: being made, uh you know, just because you get a 315 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: vaccine improved approved on November one, I mean that obviously 316 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: has massive electoral implications potentially, um, but that doesn't get 317 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: the vaccine you know, into uh, you know, circulation on 318 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: November one, right, and that's really going to be the 319 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,959 Speaker 1: huge thing. I have to I have to jump. But Trevor, 320 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: thanks so much. Would you come back on the show. 321 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: You're gonna You're gonna come back on. I'd love to 322 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: all right anytime?

What a Speaker Pelosi 345 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: have to say about that? She spoke exclusively to our 346 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 1: David Weston and Biden goes green? Or does he? Does 347 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: he go green? He's going to release an energy plan tomorrow. 348 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: I'll give you a preview. David Weston spoke to Speaker 349 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: Pelosi about the stimulus. Leader McConnell saying, there's gonna be 350 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: a skinny deal, skinny deal coming up as early as 351 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: next week. They're going to vote on it. It'll be interesting. 352 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about the stimulus coming up, but with 353 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: again tonight at the big story, the big geo political story, 354 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: and that is President Trump escalating his rhetoric and his 355 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: policy on China. Yesterday, on holiday, the President, speaking at 356 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: the White House, offered some tough talk about what he's 357 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: calling potentially quote, decoupling of the world's two largest economies. 358 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: Take a listen to President Trump at the White House yesterday. 359 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: Here he is, So when you mentioned the word d couple, 360 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: it's uh, it's an interesting word. So we lose billions 361 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: of dollars, and if we didn't do business with him, 362 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: we would lose billions of dollars. It's called decoupling. So 363 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: you'll start thinking about it. The Biden wins, China wins, 364 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: because China will own this country. If Biden wins, China 365 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: will own this country. And hopefully you're not going to 366 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: be able to find that out. It's the most important 367 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: election in our history right now. That was President Trump 368 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: speaking at the White House yesterday, and then earlier this 369 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: morning in conversations with senior administration officials, the Trump administration 370 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: is telling me that they've banned imports from three companies 371 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 1: in the Shinjang region of China over Beijing's alleged repression 372 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: of the weaker Muslim minority group, and it plans to 373 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: add curbs on six more firms and target cotton, textiles, tomatoes, 374 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: the chips, and those inexpensive laptops that every all the 375 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: schools are using. And they're using what's known as a 376 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: withholding Release order a w r O, a w r OH, 377 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: and they're signing the the abuse of the Weakers as 378 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: as justification for this. So that's the lay of the 379 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: land as we enter into this shortened week. And I 380 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 1: welcome to the program to all stars, David to Fury, 381 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: who is a former Obama campaign form policy advisor, and 382 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: he's been all over the world. He's consulted with foreign 383 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: governments and a nose geopolitics better than anyone in this town. 384 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: And Adam Goodman, a Republican media strata just columnist and 385 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: a partner at Ballard Partners, which is based in Washington, 386 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: d C. David, it felt that over the holiday weekend, 387 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: typically in an election year, that geopolitics would take a 388 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: back seat, but this is an election unlike any other, 389 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: and China is front and center. I agree You wrote 390 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: a great article about this and what President Trump has done. 391 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: It's very interesting because President Trump's views on the economics 392 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: dispute with China have now coincided with generally America's views 393 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: on the human rights violations by China, in particular the 394 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: detention of Weakers in China, and he's now utilizing some 395 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: things in the law that allow him to punish Chinese 396 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: companies and Chinese officials who are in any way involved 397 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: with the detention of the weakers. The Weaker situation is abominable. 398 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: As you know, there's lots of reporting on this, but 399 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: it's great that President Trump is focusing on it. Of course, 400 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: there's some politics involved. President Trump wants to make China 401 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 1: issue an issue. He thinks that the winning issue for 402 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: him in November because he has taken a tough stance 403 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: on China, although I would know that he hasn't really 404 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: identified how the Biden approach to China would be any different. 405 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: And I would also know that Biden and Biden's team 406 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: announced two weeks ago they do believe China's treatment of 407 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: the Weakers is genocide. So I imagine the Biden administration 408 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: if Biden one would take a similar stance on these issues. 409 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: It is when when words like that are thrown around, 410 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: I mean they're not thrown around, I mean they're they're 411 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: carefully chosen. And so it is it does feel like 412 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,719 Speaker 1: a significant escalation out of goodman coming here because typically 413 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 1: geopolitics does take a back seat, but in this cycle, 414 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: China is front and center. Well you know, you you 415 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: know the expression the elephant in the room with China, 416 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: of course, it's the Canada in the road. Just what 417 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: I just have to throw it out there, Um, what 418 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: what we've got? What we really have here? Uh? Is 419 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: the first American president I think David you know, would 420 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: agree with at least some of this. The first American 421 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,239 Speaker 1: president has really put it to the Chinese government. Uh. 422 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: Obviously a lot of its economic but you know, we 423 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: are a civilization and economy that operates in quarters called 424 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: three month quarters. They operate in twenty five year you know, 425 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: quarter centuries. And so this is the first time anyone 426 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: in American leadership has really fully called them on the 427 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: carpet on a number of fronts and said we're not 428 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: going to put up with this anymore. And you know, 429 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: you're looking at the coupling, you're looking at thevest divesture 430 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 1: movements that are starting to game scheme scheme rather especially 431 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: in American colleges and universities UM and all the abandoned imports. 432 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: But the question for all of us is is it 433 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: was it Is it okay for us to continue down 434 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: the path of letting frankly the Chinese government and leadership 435 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: just kind of walk all over us or do we 436 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,120 Speaker 1: have to call him on it? And in a way 437 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: the weaker's glad David brought that into play. That's another 438 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: important element of all this. So it's not just about 439 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: well one of the farmers have to freak out about 440 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: in the Midwest this week that maybe on the this 441 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: is so smart at Figger, it's so much bigger. I mean, 442 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: it's so much bigger. And I think the you know, 443 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: in the conversation here in the Beltway with the in 444 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: the Beltway media, I think is expanding that conversation. But 445 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 1: you're so spot on because it really was such small ball. 446 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: It felt like for months, especially about a year and 447 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: a half ago, when that was really the how the U. S. 448 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 1: China relations were being framed. But you know, David Adam 449 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: makes a fascinating point in the sense of Uh that 450 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: the actions that the administration took today with the withholding 451 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: Release orders w r O s through the Department of 452 00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: Homeland Security, can Concinelli shop over there? Uh? You know it? 453 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: It essentially is going to touch everything from Hollywood hair 454 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: products to the chips in students in expensive laptops, which 455 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 1: is already a shortage on and I note the shortage, 456 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: and then textiles and and and designer duds. You know, 457 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: the top name brands that get of China's exports come 458 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: from the Xinjang region and thirty percent of US imports, 459 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: uh come for clothing come from China. So how do 460 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: you get in a global economy? David si Fury, with 461 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: all of your world travels and all of your geopolitical knowledge, 462 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: how do you make sure that if the US tries 463 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: to tries to, you know, implement this, they just don't 464 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: go to the Communist Party, just doesn't go to another 465 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: back channel, say I don't know, through South America or 466 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: Latin America to get around the rules, or you know, 467 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: if there is divester sures that they don't you know, 468 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: go to the Hong Kong market or the Singapore market. 469 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: How do we make sure that well, I'm sure China 470 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: is going to try to do that, but we're talking 471 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: about massive amounts of imports and it would be impossible 472 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: for it to continue at that rate if the Trump 473 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: administration follows through and enforces these decisions. So what China 474 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: is also going to have to do is find new 475 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 1: markets for some of these products. And of course China 476 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: is likely to retaliate against the United States and against 477 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: companies in the US that sell American products into China. 478 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: That will be probably their main response. But this is 479 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: a wake up call for American companies who have done 480 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: business in the area where the weakers are located. And 481 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: you'll note another thing that's been in the news is 482 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: this Disney film move on, which we're going to talk about. 483 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: Let's actually I'm gonna I'm gonna hold you right there 484 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: because we're gonna talk about Mulan. That is very much 485 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: on my radar. I went and saw Tenant, David. I 486 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: saw Tenant, which I don't understand. I went back to 487 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: the movies I have my mask. I had to google 488 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: it for about a half hour after I saw it 489 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: because I truly do not understand that movie. But it's great. 490 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: I'll see anything Golden makes Kevin se really Moore next 491 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: your look, you're listening to Bloomberg ninety nine one. You're 492 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: listening to Bloomberg Sound On with Kevin Surrele on Bloomberg 493 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: and one oh five point seven FM HD two. So 494 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: I went back to the movie theaters over the weekend 495 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: holiday weekend, Saul Tenant, Christopher Nolan, and I didn't understand 496 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: any of it. Loved it, great movie. Didn't understand any 497 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: of it. I mean, I still don't, but I watched 498 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of YouTube videos on it and Christopher Nolan. 499 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: I mean, to be a fly on the wall and 500 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan's brain, it would be remarkable, It would be remarkable. 501 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: My name is Kevin Cereli. I'm the chief Washington correspondent 502 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: for Bloomberg Television and for Bloomberg Radio. You know you'll 503 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: wear the mask in the in the movie theater, it's 504 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: like every other other seat, so, I mean, it's a 505 00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: big theater. So I didn't feel, you know, it's I was. 506 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: I was keeping with Virginia's laws, like I didn't, you know, 507 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: break any rules. David's the Furies on former Obama campaign 508 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: for Him policy advisor Adam Goodman, Republican media strategist, columnists 509 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: and partner, columnists and partner at Ballard Partners in Washington. David, 510 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: have you been back to the movies? I have not, 511 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,959 Speaker 1: and I probably need to go soon because I think 512 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: I've watched everything on netflip. But I have started. I 513 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: started away with the Hilary Swank on on Netflix. It's 514 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: it's pretty interesting. You know. I love space stuff. Adam, 515 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: Are you going back to the movies? Are you saying 516 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: it not yet? Not yet? What was David? I mean, 517 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: I kind of ran out of things that to watch 518 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: on Netflix. I went back and watched them again. So 519 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: I went with the whole series of the Office again, 520 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: the whole leven seasons. Whatever was it was fantastic. Oh 521 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: my god. I would do that. I would do that 522 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: even if there wasn't a pandemic. So Tenant made I 523 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: want to go back to this Mulan thing. Tenant made. Uh. 524 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: How much money here it is I have in front 525 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: of me on my Bloomberg terminal. Uh, it's it's grossed 526 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: over a hundred more than a hundred million dollars in 527 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: international markets, including thirty million in UH in China. Uh. 528 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: And it costs to report a two hundred mill so 529 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: it gross twenty million here in America, which is not 530 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: that good. So a lot of folks are a little 531 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: bit uneasy. But Mulan is thrust into controversy. Tell us 532 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: why Mulan disn't these pluses? Mulan is is thrust into controversy, 533 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: David to fury. So Mulan was filmed in the area 534 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: of China where the leakers are located and where they've 535 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: been put into detention camps. Uh, it's hard to imagine 536 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: that the makers of the film didn't realize it when 537 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: they made the film, and they should have seen this 538 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: as a potential problem. But it's even more astounding, and 539 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 1: this is what sited a lot of the news articles, 540 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: is the credit in the movie actually give thanks to 541 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: the local authorities in this area for letting them film there. 542 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,800 Speaker 1: It's the same local authorities that are responsible for putting 543 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: some people into these detention camps or you know, shepherding 544 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: them into the detention camp. So it's pretty astounding for Disney, 545 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: the maker of the movie, it is really remarkable coming 546 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: on on this Adam Goodman, I mean, for you know, 547 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: they say, you know how they say life imitates art. 548 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, this is just too close an 549 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: analogy to ignore. But it's interesting that you bring up 550 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: the words move on because there's another major story right 551 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 1: now having to do with move on dot org, which 552 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: I think you probably solve kind of. I'm saying, moolin, 553 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: not move on, Mooline. I'm going right to move on it. 554 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: And I think it's worthy of talking about because move 555 00:32:55,320 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: On just called for massive public unrest if things don't 556 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: go their way in this election. In the fall, they're 557 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: talking about occupying space, shutting things down for weeks and necessary. Uh. 558 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: They're talking about, you know, basically doing whatever is necessary 559 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: to disrupt the country. Uh, if they don't like what's 560 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: about to come down. So that may not be the rule. 561 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: And you're talking about uh in the movie. But this 562 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 1: is a real life horror film. I think that we 563 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: may be witness bearing witness too. Not long from today. Well, 564 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: happy post Labor Day weekend to you too, Adam Goodman. 565 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to fiscal Let's move on 566 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: to fiscal stimulus, because there appears to be somewhat of 567 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: a breakthrough maybe. Uh. And what Leader McConnell is having 568 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: to say about the fiscal stimulus, and they unveiled today 569 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: they're slim down coronavirus fiscal stimulus bill. Uh. And here's 570 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: what Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. Here's Speaker Pelosi, 571 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: what she told my colleague David Weston here to this, 572 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: what they have is so meager that it insults the 573 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: intelligence of the American people. Does not solve the problem, 574 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,840 Speaker 1: and it is not. Again, we know that we have 575 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: to compromise, We know we have to negotiate in order 576 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 1: to reach an agreement. We all want an agreement, make 577 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: no mistake about that. But get serious, get real, Mitch McConnell. 578 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: So she's saying, get serious, get real, uh, Adam Gidman, 579 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,279 Speaker 1: I mean, the Republican bill features some aspects of the 580 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 1: trillion dollar proposal that they put forth a month ago. 581 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,240 Speaker 1: And it's expected though, to cost between five hundred billion 582 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: and seven hundred billion dollars. Is that is that the 583 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: most that that leader McConnell can get to without having 584 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: to give up and have some Republicans break from the ranks. 585 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 1: I mean, that's still a lot of money. Isn't amazing 586 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: that when you say five seven hundred billion dollars that 587 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 1: count small, and you know, talking Troyons, it doesn't really count. Um. 588 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: You know, we just like all of us, we've kind 589 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: of taken on COVID night seen on the fly. We 590 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 1: never didn't have a textbook on this. We didn't kind 591 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: of know exactly the best steps to take. We just 592 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: knew the steps we felt we had to take when 593 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,720 Speaker 1: we had to take them. This is not a small 594 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: bill McConnell is talking about. I know that Speaker Pelosi 595 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 1: is complaining about it, but you know, you're talking about 596 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: you know, three hundred billion and federal age. We're talking 597 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: about three and more a week, and unemployment benefits and PPE. 598 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: And this isn't the end of the line. This is 599 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: just the next installment as we start to figure out 600 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: how to fully reactivate an economy that was operating on 601 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 1: all cylinders not all that long ago. So I think 602 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: this is a story to be continued. Uh. And I 603 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: don't think in terms of the election, Uh, this is 604 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,280 Speaker 1: going to be as as important and ingredients and voters 605 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,839 Speaker 1: minds as other things that are now hit the front burner. Uh. 606 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,919 Speaker 1: David lan on that on that stimulus fight, which could 607 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: get a vote as early as this week or next 608 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: week for the for the Republican version in the Senate. Yeah, 609 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: it could get a vote, but it sounds like the 610 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: bill is dead on arrival. It's not even clear that 611 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: McConnell's going to be able to get Republicans and his 612 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: caucus to support it and get to votes. It will 613 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: never get to sixty votes that it needs to to 614 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: not be stopped by the Democrats. And it's really small 615 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 1: compared to what the Democrats in the House past. You know, 616 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 1: people are calling it the skinny stimulus, humor is calling 617 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: it emaciated. So it's it's not going to pass. I 618 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 1: guess it's perhaps going to move the dialogue further. What 619 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: really confusing to me is you would think the Republicans 620 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 1: would want to step up and have a much larger 621 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 1: bill because people are suffering so much. Duty pandemics going yeah, 622 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: we're not to leave it there more next, we'll come 623 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: back more. Sorry you cut out. This is Kevin sil 624 00:36:52,840 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: you're listening to Bloomberg. You're listening to Bloomberg. Sound On 625 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: with Kevin Surley on Bloomberg and one oh five point 626 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: seven f m HD two. They're worried if there's gonna 627 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: be a shortage on freezer's because they're prepping for hundreds 628 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 1: of millions of vaccines in the marketplace, hopefully by the 629 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: first quarter next year. But you need to where do 630 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: you put a vaccine. You put a vaccine in a freezer. 631 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: So first it was the tests, that it was the 632 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 1: mass and the ppe. Remember all that. Well, now it's 633 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: the freezers, the syringes, the glass cases and the like. 634 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,320 Speaker 1: That's where we're at. Plus a red headline crossing the 635 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 1: Bloomberg terminal. I'm Kevin's really chief Washington correspondent for Bloomberg 636 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: Television and for Bloomberg Radio. According to stats News, Astra 637 00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 1: Zeneca COVID nineteen vaccine study has been put on hold 638 00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 1: due to suspected adverse reaction and participant in the u K. 639 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 1: Congressman Max Rose is a Democrat from New York City 640 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,800 Speaker 1: and he is also a member of the House Committee 641 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:21,880 Speaker 1: on Homeland Security the Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness, Response and Recovery. Congressman, 642 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 1: you know, it seems like this vaccination process has been politicized. 643 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: I know, I know, you know, Democrats blame Republicans, Republicans 644 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 1: blame Democrats. But how do we get to a place 645 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: where we trust that there's a vaccine. We celebrate the science, 646 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: and we put this pandemic behind us. You couldn't get 647 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 1: Michael Cohen on um always, you know always. Here's though. 648 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: I was so proud of that intro, and then bam, 649 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:59,399 Speaker 1: the congressman brings me right back down to earth. Go ahead, place. 650 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,800 Speaker 1: Let everything is getting politicized today, and it's ridiculous. The 651 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 1: President United States used a terminology very early on in 652 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: COVID that is stuck with me. He said, this is 653 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 1: a moment of war. It's a moment of total war. 654 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: In fact. Well, if that is the case, which I 655 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,919 Speaker 1: believe it is, then we don't politicize war. In fact, 656 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: what we have in wars solidarity, a strategy, and a 657 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: full allocation of resources. Uh. Nothing seems to be immune 658 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,319 Speaker 1: from politics today. Now here's what we should be doing 659 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: when it comes to this pandemic. And it's really three things. 660 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,240 Speaker 1: And three things most especially one, we've got it safely 661 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 1: but nonetheless robustly, race to this vaccine, treating it like 662 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,400 Speaker 1: the Apollo Project of our day. The second is is 663 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: that we have got to make sure that there's a 664 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:53,279 Speaker 1: full and adequate availability of PPE and other critical resources. 665 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: So that we can also start to open up um 666 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,799 Speaker 1: open this economy up. I'm particularly thinking about our our restaurants. 667 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: And then lastly, it is testing. Okay, we can't think 668 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: about it this way. Everyone's saying we're guaranteed to get 669 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 1: a vaccine. We're going to get a vaccine. They're just 670 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 1: thinking about when you can't take guarantees in this day 671 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: and age. We can test our way out of this 672 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: crisis as well. If you're doing something like fifty million 673 00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 1: tests a day, which is merely a matter of technology 674 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 1: and resource allocation, then you can quickly identify new cases 675 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: and isolate them. The All these things are within the 676 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 1: realm of possibility. Why is it that the NBA is 677 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: thinking of new ways to test people? It should be 678 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: a major cities, are major states, and most especially the 679 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,240 Speaker 1: federal government. We shouldn't be reducing the number of tests. 680 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: I want to tell of this, we should be increasing them. 681 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 1: Congress and maxwells online. He's a Democrat from New York. 682 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: He knows a thing or two about the military. He 683 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 1: served in the U. S. Army as a platoon leader 684 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 1: in the war in Afghanistan, and he was awarded a 685 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: bronze star in a purple heart. I want to go 686 00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,320 Speaker 1: to the restaurants in New York City because you know, 687 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: I mean you New Yorkers up there in the in 688 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 1: the Big Apple are having a debate over these restaurants. 689 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,719 Speaker 1: Where do you stand in this debate? And catch us 690 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,919 Speaker 1: up to speed, because it's it's really really interesting. Look 691 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: the ball. You would say, under normal circumstances in a 692 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,800 Speaker 1: place like New York City, that the ball is in 693 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 1: the mayor's court. It's not. This mayor at this point 694 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: needs to consider irrelevant. He was the worst mayor in 695 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,040 Speaker 1: the history of this great country. So the ball is 696 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 1: really in the governor's court, Okay, And the governor needs 697 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,919 Speaker 1: to as quickly as possible circumvent the mayor and get 698 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,680 Speaker 1: our restaurants in New York City open. I'll be at 699 00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 1: a reduced capacity open for indoor dining. Everyone says, this 700 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,280 Speaker 1: is a matter of science. This is a matter of science. 701 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,240 Speaker 1: Look at the numbers. Indoor dining is open on Long Island. 702 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: Indoor dining is open in Westchester. Indoor dining is open 703 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 1: virtually the rest of you don't understand the justification. What 704 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: is the What is the justification? Because if kids are 705 00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 1: going back to school, or if I don't, I be 706 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,160 Speaker 1: able to. You can send your six year old to 707 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 1: elementary school, but you can't sit inside and eat chicken 708 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 1: parm Why I don't. I don't. At this point, I 709 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,880 Speaker 1: am baffled. I am mystified, because our restaurants are on 710 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: the brink of of death, of death. And this is 711 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 1: not just the restaurant owners, as important as they are, 712 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 1: it's the people who are working for them too. We 713 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: have got to get them open. This makes zero sense. 714 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:34,399 Speaker 1: No wonder people hate our politics. Wonder people are leaving 715 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,440 Speaker 1: New York City. To be honest, I mean, if you 716 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,800 Speaker 1: can't even go out, not even trying to be funny 717 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 1: like a hundred a hundred percent. New York City's competitive 718 00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,480 Speaker 1: advantage is the fact that people want to be there, 719 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 1: you know, And that's what attracts businesses. That's that's what 720 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,800 Speaker 1: attracts tourism. It's that dynamism. Then we're are carrying it. 721 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 1: All New York City is asking for is to be 722 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 1: treated like the rest of the state. When I go 723 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: down to Washington, d C. They have higher COVID numbers 724 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 1: in New York City and they have indoor dining. If 725 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: if people are in a particularly vulnerable population, or if 726 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: they're afraid or whatever it might be. God bless you. 727 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 1: No one's forcing you to go out to a restaurant. 728 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 1: Come come November, people are going to want to do 729 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 1: indoor dining anymore, Certainly not the numbers that we're seeing 730 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 1: right now. These restaurants make their money in the late fall. 731 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: We need to get this done. You've got to look 732 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 1: at depending economic destruction. And I know this feels than 733 00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 1: the owners. This feels like small. But even like where 734 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 1: I go every day to get my cup of coffee 735 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:46,359 Speaker 1: and the mayor here is making everyone that the server 736 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 1: has to get the coffee, I can't. And I know 737 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 1: it's small bo but I'm thinking to myself, if more 738 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,439 Speaker 1: people are touching my cup of coffee in the morning, 739 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,360 Speaker 1: isn't that me more people could potentially spread the germs 740 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 1: Like I just feel like there's all this faulty logic. 741 00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:59,719 Speaker 1: It gets in my head and then I overthink it 742 00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 1: and then I move on because I had my coffee. 743 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,640 Speaker 1: I want to move onto China because I know because 744 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,360 Speaker 1: you're someone who Congressman Rose, You're you're very much in 745 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:10,080 Speaker 1: in all of these important conversations. What how do how 746 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,960 Speaker 1: do you think a Biden administration would deal with China, 747 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 1: would deal with the Communist Party of China. Well, uh, well, 748 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I think they should be doing 749 00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 1: and what I will be advocating for. You cannot treat 750 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,520 Speaker 1: China as if it is a friend, and you certainly 751 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 1: can't assume that China is going to do the right thing. 752 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: Everyone else has been practicing free trade, at least certainly 753 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 1: the United States of America has. China has been practicing 754 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 1: a neo mercantilist policies where it's subsidizing its state owned businesses, 755 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 1: it's artificially lowering its currency values, and so on and 756 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,840 Speaker 1: so forth, giving itself unfair advantage, killing our workers in 757 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 1: the process. It's actively stealing our I p and it 758 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:54,840 Speaker 1: is actively actively trying to steal our vaccine technology. But 759 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:59,319 Speaker 1: in order to treat realistically, to treat China as if 760 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 1: it is not a not necessarily an enemy, but not 761 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 1: a friend, you have to build alliances, and we we 762 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:09,080 Speaker 1: have to rebuild those alliances, both in East Asia, Southeast 763 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,320 Speaker 1: Asia as well as in Europe. All of those alliances 764 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:15,840 Speaker 1: are critical so you can build a global system that 765 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: then China needs to be a part of But we 766 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 1: can't just turn a blind eye any longer to what 767 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 1: China is doing. What the problem with the Democratic Party 768 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,920 Speaker 1: is though there's a Democratic party, just it's foreign policy. Basically, 769 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,600 Speaker 1: rest right now and say, well, I'm going to do 770 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:34,319 Speaker 1: the opposite of what Donald Trump is doing. Donald Trump 771 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,719 Speaker 1: wants to leave Afghanistan. Suddenly Democrats want to stay in Afghanistan. 772 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 1: You want to leave. Seriously, Democrats want to stay there. 773 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 1: He wants to be tough on China with tarists. Now 774 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats hate all tariffs. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. I 775 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,480 Speaker 1: don't want to see us to go back to the nineties, 776 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 1: go back to the early aughts in terms of our 777 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,719 Speaker 1: relationship with China. We have to look forward. This is 778 00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,840 Speaker 1: a new day and China is our closest peer competitor. 779 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 1: We have to act like that. Yes, this is is 780 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 1: a non zero sum game, but only to a certain extent. 781 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:08,239 Speaker 1: If a competition for jobs, for innovation as well as 782 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 1: for economic growth, I start acting like it. When America 783 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,399 Speaker 1: puts its mind to competing, nobody out competes us. Because 784 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this, we remain the magnets for the 785 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,839 Speaker 1: best and the brightest.

There's 812 00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,879 Speaker 1: like a hundred and thirty plus vaccines that are UH 813 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:08,080 Speaker 1: and being research worldwide.

My guess 827 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,879 Speaker 1: is this is gonna get close to a hundred million. 828 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 1: So if you have at a hundred million viewers uh 829 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,360 Speaker 1: tuning into this debate. There are two things, in my opinion, 830 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,000 Speaker 1: and David might have a totally seperate opinion on this, 831 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,800 Speaker 1: that are keeping Joe Biden up at night. One is 832 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:19,080 Speaker 1: that there might be more connocious out there that would 833 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 1: continue to put h security on the front burner as 834 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 1: a major, maybe wedge issue in this campaign. But the 835 00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 1: other one is more personal, and that is, am I 836 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 1: gonna blow it? He's seeing to himselves, am I gonna 837 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,000 Speaker 1: blow it? In this debate? Uh? He has. You could 838 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,319 Speaker 1: say that Joe Biden has a lot of strengths. One 839 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 1: of them, uh, by a look at his history, that 840 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:43,320 Speaker 1: is not on that list is debating and for ninety 841 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,319 Speaker 1: minutes without a break. He's gonna have to go up 842 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,520 Speaker 1: against the president not once, but three times. Uh. That's 843 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,719 Speaker 1: what I'm looking forward to. As the polls in all 844 00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,280 Speaker 1: of the battle ground states are starting to move closer 845 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,440 Speaker 1: and closer to margin of air, which is what the 846 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,520 Speaker 1: only polls that really count. As we see Joe Biden 847 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 1: up six points eight points, it doesn't matter, he's only 848 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:11,120 Speaker 1: he's margin of air in Ohio, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Florida, Michigan. Uh. 849 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,359 Speaker 1: And that keeps him up at night when he thinks 850 00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,319 Speaker 1: about the debates, and maybe those are the moments. As 851 00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 1: much as I've been in this game a long time, 852 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 1: as much as you plan for them, as much as 853 00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,640 Speaker 1: you coach the principle for them, there is a wonderful 854 00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:29,800 Speaker 1: thing called live which you can't completely control. And I 855 00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 1: think that's the thing that is most bedeviling Joe Biden. 856 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 1: H today, tonight, tomorrow, and up until the first debate 857 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:42,719 Speaker 1: onset September. It. Uh. The debates are going to be 858 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:47,200 Speaker 1: absolutely fascinating. Chris Wallace, Fox News as the first one, 859 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:52,400 Speaker 1: so it will be remarkable just to see what happens 860 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,279 Speaker 1: and the politic ing and the posturing that goes on. 861 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:57,279 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm such a nerd. I hope 862 00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,600 Speaker 1: they talked to some policy that's a great one. I mean, 863 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,279 Speaker 1: the debates are gonna be so crucial, and there's a 864 00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,200 Speaker 1: pull out of Florida today that has it a dead 865 00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,040 Speaker 1: heat neck and neck. I think it's like one or 866 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:10,000 Speaker 1: two percentage points spread. I mean it's it's totally totally 867 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:13,279 Speaker 1: locked in Florida. So the all important state, the swing 868 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,759 Speaker 1: state of Florida. Alright, so David to Fury, what is 869 00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,880 Speaker 1: on your radar? Well, first of all, let's say I agree. 870 00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,000 Speaker 1: I think the debates are gonna be fascinating. I can't 871 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,279 Speaker 1: wait till they happen. I think Biden is probably less 872 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,360 Speaker 1: nervous than Adam thinks about the debates because he's experienced. 873 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,399 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean there aren't, you know, some pitfalls for him. 874 00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 1: But Trump should be nervous too. He's down to a 875 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:38,520 Speaker 1: lot more rides on the debates for President Trump. The 876 00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,439 Speaker 1: thing that's on my mind is what came out last week. 877 00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 1: Sticking with foreign policy, President Trump announced this treaty or 878 00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,919 Speaker 1: warming of relations between Serbia and Kosovo. It's a good 879 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,920 Speaker 1: thing that the Trump administration focused on this you remember 880 00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,359 Speaker 1: that they fought a war. There was a genocide by 881 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,359 Speaker 1: Serbia against coast of ours. We had to get involved there. 882 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 1: So it's a positive that there is a warming of relations. 883 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 1: But if you look behind the announcement, which created a 884 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,640 Speaker 1: lot of potentially positive publicity for President Trump, there's really 885 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,800 Speaker 1: not much there. The two sides didn't even sign a 886 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,759 Speaker 1: unified statement, and the things that they agreed to do 887 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,400 Speaker 1: were things that they had already previously agreed to do. 888 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,200 Speaker 1: So you have to wonder was this another publicity stunts 889 00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,919 Speaker 1: by President Trump to try and show something in terms 890 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:34,440 Speaker 1: of foreign policy accomplishments as we get closer to November, Well, 891 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 1: do you think that they're even going to enforce it? 892 00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 1: At Biden wins, I mean, is there any is there 893 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,239 Speaker 1: any incentive for either side, and not just that deal, 894 00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:45,000 Speaker 1: but also the Israel one as well. With you A, yeah, 895 00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 1: I think the Israel part of both deals is you know, 896 00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:53,879 Speaker 1: potentially problematic, particularly with the coasts of a Serbia deal 897 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:58,359 Speaker 1: because both country agreed. Countries agreed to put their embassies 898 00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:01,040 Speaker 1: in Jerusalem, which is a high button figure and something 899 00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,960 Speaker 1: that probably the Biden administration doesn't necessarily support, not because 900 00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:08,440 Speaker 1: they don't support Jerusalem in Israel, but they know that 901 00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,120 Speaker 1: this is something that is a hot button issue for Palestinians. 902 00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,200 Speaker 1: And the goal is really to get the Israelis and 903 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:18,440 Speaker 1: Palestinians back together on a dialogue about peace, and that 904 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,440 Speaker 1: can only happen if there's compromised by both sides. So 905 00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:26,040 Speaker 1: we'll see, yeah, well, well, I mean that's that's a good. Uh, 906 00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,480 Speaker 1: that's a good. You know, we're gonna have to wait 907 00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,600 Speaker 1: and see. Here's what's on my radar. And I don't 908 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,959 Speaker 1: think it's gotten nearly. In any other pre pandemic world, 909 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,600 Speaker 1: this would have been the big story of the summer. 910 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:41,720 Speaker 1: The fires in California. UM, it is really, really, really crazy, 911 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,680 Speaker 1: and I'm reading from the ap Helicopters flew through dense 912 00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 1: smoke Tuesday to rescue scores more people from wildfires as 913 00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 1: wind fan flames kept chewing through a bone dry California 914 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 1: after scorching Labor Day weekend. That's all dramatic airlift of 915 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,920 Speaker 1: more than two hundred. More than two hundred people in 916 00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:02,640 Speaker 1: California were helicoptered out, folks. Think about that. Rescue ch 917 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,920 Speaker 1: chapters then pulled another a hundred and sixty four people 918 00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,600 Speaker 1: from the Sierra National Forest through the morning, and we're 919 00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,560 Speaker 1: working to rescue seventeen others. This according to Democratic Governor 920 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,839 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, who had the pilots had to wear night 921 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 1: vision goggles to find a place to land because of 922 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,279 Speaker 1: all the smokes. Think of how staggering this is. They've 923 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:27,120 Speaker 1: California has already set the record with nearly two point 924 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 1: three million acres burned this year. More than two point 925 00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:37,080 Speaker 1: three million acres burned this year, and the worst part 926 00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:42,399 Speaker 1: of the wildfire season is just beginning. The wildfires out 927 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,719 Speaker 1: in California, folks. I mean, it is really really remarkable. 928 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:50,279 Speaker 1: That's on my radar, uh and it's just devastating what's 929 00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,759 Speaker 1: what's happening out there in California with these wildfires two 930 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,160 Speaker 1: point three million acres and the worst of the wildfire 931 00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:01,120 Speaker 1: season hasn't even begun. Many of your fearing this could 932 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,600 Speaker 1: be the worst wildfire season for California that they've seen, 933 00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:08,279 Speaker 1: that they've seen and they're rescuing. It's just really really, 934 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,719 Speaker 1: really uh intense tragedy. Quickly, I have got to ask 935 00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,239 Speaker 1: the panel their favorite Christopher Nolan film when we have 936 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 1: sixty seconds, So you gotta go quick Adam, what's your 937 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 1: favorite Christopher Nolan Flick?
