1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news, the single best idea.

2
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: After an emotional month, we're deep into May, and after

3
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 1: an emotional week, and here with the jobs report doing

4
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: better than good. All in all, major shout out to

5
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: anawog of Bloomberg Economics who certainly had a huge part

6
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: of that buoyant seat to the job market, the trend

7
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: up near here one's sixty and whether it's one seventy

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: three month moving average one hundred and fifty five thousand,

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: and the stock market reacting to it at least here

10
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: on a Friday, as we tape at this moment, but

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: in amongst it with some tension. It's always good to

12
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: speak to people world acclaimed for their academics. Claudia Sam

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: leads our employment coverage definitive at Michigan. I'm thinking at

14
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: the fat I should say, as well, thinking about what

15
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: is recession? What the slowdown look like? First thing she

16
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: said in her conversation today, this is not a recession.

17
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: There is no recession out there. Late in the conversation

18
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: and here Claudia Sam on the speed, the rapidity of

19
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 1: our policy making.

20
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: They need to slow it down, right, you know, I

21
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: disagree with the policies they're pursuing, but I'm strong, I'm

22
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: very concerned about the way in which they're being pursued.

23
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: This is very aggressive, this is very fast, and it

24
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 2: can potentially cause a lot of damage. So even if

25
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: you're in the spirit of having more industrial policy, having

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: higher tariffs, a smaller government, like, there's a way to

27
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: do this that doesn't cause maximal damage, right, And I'm

28
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: very concerned of and I think the White House and

29
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: you hear some messaging from them that you know, terorfrates

30
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: aren't sustainable with China, and we're doing negotiations, but like,

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: we need to see some action that actually pulls back

32
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: these costs before it's too late.

33
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: Claudia Sam there within this trade war, within this moment

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: for America in the world. John Authur's writing up at

35
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Opinion. I thought the Martin Wolf essay I think

36
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: it was two ago on the trade war was just

37
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: brilliant over at the Financial Times. But the one essay

38
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: that for me sticks out was Adam Posen. I'm guessing

39
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: five ancient weeks ago, long weeks ago in Foreign Affairs,

40
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Adam Posen absolutely definitive and with a piercing paragraph on

41
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: the zero sum fallacy of our trade war. We touched

42
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: on Adam Smith, the giant David Ricardo of about eighteen fifteen,

43
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: but late in the conversation with Adam Posen at the

44
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: Peterson Institute, we talked about his view on American education.

45
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 3: It's insane, no matter how valid the criticisms may or

46
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 3: may not be. And I'm not going to touch that

47
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: because I'm not an academic, thank god, but destroying the

48
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: research capacity of the greatest research complex in human history,

49
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: that has been the source of American advantage and well

50
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 3: being and defense capacity for eighty years is possibly the

51
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: most destructive thing the Trump administration is doing. And I

52
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 3: don't mean just Harvard, and I don't mean worrying about

53
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: supposed anti Semitism, although I think that's not what really

54
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: motivates them, but who the heck knows. I think you're

55
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 3: destroying at National Institute of Health. You're destroying medical biomedical

56
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 3: research across the board. You're undercutting standards for research by

57
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: having an HHS secretary who makes stuff up in contrast

58
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 3: to all known research. I mean, I could just spew

59
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 3: on this, sputtering for hours. This is the golden goose

60
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 3: for the US economy for the world's wellbeing, and we

61
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 3: are destroying it. And that's where the UK and a

62
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: few other countries including Japan, Singapore, Australia, Germany, we have

63
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: to help step up and fry a home for talent

64
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: and find the money because this is something we can't replace.

65
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: And I'm posing there at the Peterson Institute a major

66
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: shout out to an institution at Columbia University. There is

67
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: one guy that is written and thought about this more

68
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: than anyone I know. His name is Jonathan Cole Coillie,

69
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: and he's written definitive books on this miracle that was

70
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: wrought as a generalization out of World War Two, but

71
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: I would suggest started before that, at least with the

72
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: land grant program of the nineteenth century. Think the A

73
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: and M's Texas A and M and the rest as well.

74
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: But Jonathan Cole will say that the research capabilities of

75
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: this nation are centered around research universities bolted on to

76
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: the great academics of your kid getting an undergraduate degree,

77
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: and he centers there on the Johns Hopkins University and

78
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: on the University of Chicago. Somehow this will be a

79
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 1: theme forward. Janet Lauren is our expert on this at

80
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: Bloomberg will speak to her as we can across the nation.

81
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: On your commute. Good morning on Google thrilled with a

82
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: new Google technology, on Android Auto, just all sorts of

83
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: new stuff going on there. Good morning ninety nine one

84
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: FM in Washington, ninety two nine FM in Boston, and

85
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: Ploomberg eleven three to zero. Good morning to you. I

86
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: should say that we're on YouTube podcasts and this is

87
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: single best idea
