Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.
Speaker 2: Single best idea, let me start with a vignette. Today
Speaker 2: was a perfect example. I once said to the founder
Speaker 2: of Bloomberg News, Matt Winkler. I said, Matt, thirty years ago,
Speaker 2: do you understand you invented Twitter? And what I meant
Speaker 2: by that is what was invented on the Bloomberg terminal.
Speaker 2: People go, why does this thing exist? Why is it
Speaker 2: the foundation of everything we do at Bloomberg LP and
Speaker 2: Bloomberg News. And the answer is the immediacy of the headlines.
Speaker 2: So this morning, with all that's going on, with what
Speaker 2: we've learned is two cargo ships seized by the US
Speaker 2: Coastguard Cutter Monroe and others in the North Atlantic I
Speaker 2: think Tom Hanks in that wonderful movie, and also in
Speaker 2: the Caribbean. The basic idea here is the headlines are
Speaker 2: everything and we were saved. Just to give you a
Speaker 2: window into the show by Daniel Curtis sitting at a
Speaker 2: desk in London, who spearheaded this off of the Bloomberg terminal.
Speaker 2: Functions that track cargo ships worldwide, Like right now, if
Speaker 2: there's twenty seven tankers off Singapore, we have shipping clients
Speaker 2: that can actually see those twenty seven tankers. There's a
Speaker 2: little window into how we get out front with the
Speaker 2: story and then collate in our reporting by Alex Wickham
Speaker 2: and others at Queen Victoria Street and over to other
Speaker 2: news sources like Reuter's at NBC and the Associated Press.
Speaker 2: Just a little window there and how the sausage is made.
Speaker 2: We were advantaged today by the perspective of Tina Fordham
Speaker 2: of Fordham Global Foresight on the distance from Venezuela to Greenland.
Speaker 1: So it's bewilderment. I think that Europe and European leaders
Speaker 1: are genuinely struggling to find a vocabulary to respond. And
Speaker 1: as you know, there's a meeting going on right now,
Speaker 1: the so called Coalition of the Willing to discuss Ukraine
Speaker 1: in the future of Ukraine and this you know, this
Speaker 1: deal that's been under discussion. Steve Woodkoff Kushner there, Mark
Speaker 1: Rutze from NATA. They're all meeting, but of course the
Speaker 1: whole conversation has been hijacked by this Greenland discussion.
Speaker 2: Tina Fordham there, I can't say enough about her work,
Speaker 2: particularly last year looking for distress in Venezuela. My book
Speaker 2: of the year, Rushia Sharma. I've never done this before.
Speaker 2: Usually it's a book that comes out, you know, month
Speaker 2: tier two months, they're three months there. His book came
Speaker 2: out eighteen months ago, but it's ever more important in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five and a compelling read in two twenty six.
Speaker 2: What Went Wrong with Capitalism? Rushia Sharma of the Rockefeller International,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six.
Speaker 3: If you look at what's happening in the world over
Speaker 3: the past here, then yes, that America is withdrawing from
Speaker 3: the global trade system, but the rest of the world
Speaker 3: is learning to trade without America. So if you see
Speaker 3: what's happened to trade volumes over the last few quarters,
Speaker 3: that America's share is declining in global trade volumes, but
Speaker 3: the rest of the world, the trade volumes are actually
Speaker 3: going up. And as I travel the world, what I
Speaker 3: find is that more and more countries are trading with
Speaker 3: each other.
Speaker 2: Rush Ushima there this morning, We're right on podcasts and
Speaker 2: Apple Music, on Spotify, on YouTube podcasts. A single best
Speaker 2: idea
