1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Good morning, Colorado Springs, Colorado. Thank you for listening on Applecarplay,

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Android Auto. When you're a young cherub and you go

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: to Colorado College, you study physics, which is what David

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: Malpass did joining as a former president of the World Bank.

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: Iconic at bear Sterns years ago. David Malpast darkens the

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: door this morning. Casey has yet to concede. In Pennsylvania. Tuberville,

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: the football coach, dragged you into the Senate.

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: He said, we need Senate testimony from.

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: David Malpass on you know, global economics and all that.

10
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: You're one of the few people I know that's actually

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: been in the trenches in the United States Senate. Do

12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: you see with this new administration, David, with your affiliation

13
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: with the Republicans, do you see a suddenness rapid movement

14
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: between the executive and the legislative branch?

15
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 3: Or will it be slower and more iterative? And that's

16
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 3: a great question and issue. I think it'll be pretty

17
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 3: fast because there really is a mandate from the country

18
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 3: to bring change.

19
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: Then, how do you see a mandate?

20
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: I've got Vice President Harrison narrow it down to fifty forty.

21
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: It's something like two hundred and thirty eight thousand votes

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: and three swing states. I got a guy in a

23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: San Joaquin Valley right now, Republican winning by under.

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: Three hundred votes.

25
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: If the Democrats take west of Fresno, it's one more

26
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: Democrat in the House.

27
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: It's not a mandate, David, I beg to differ. So

28
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 4: it means all seven of the swing states were one.

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 4: And if you look at all the demographics, in other words,

30
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 4: each but if you parse it by age, if you

31
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 4: parsh it by skills, you get people wanting change. And

32
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 4: so that means the Senate is going to come let's

33
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 4: come to your question. There's a turnover, a very important

34
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 4: turnover of the majority leader, and you know, the staff

35
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 4: on all the committees turns over, and so there will

36
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: be people whose lifeblood is not regulating, and so that

37
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 4: means a big change in how the Senate operates. Of course,

38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 4: it's the deliberative body, and it will take time to

39
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 4: get some stuff done. But I'd imagine there's going to

40
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 4: be a tax movement on the tax front very quickly,

41
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 4: of course, on energy and on on on trade where

42
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 4: the system is broken. So you'll see all of that moving,

43
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 4: you know, month by month pretty rapidly.

44
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 5: What do you think of some of the president's cabinet

45
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 5: nominations to date?

46
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: What is it?

47
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 5: What have you kind of sensed?

48
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 4: He's well, I think they're great. But what you see

49
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 4: is him wanting change, change, change, And so that to

50
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 4: me is the signal coming out of each area. Put

51
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 4: strong people in that want change. Look at the energy

52
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: pick so Chris, Chris right, Bergham are really strong, Lee Zelden,

53
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 4: and these are these are the energy side that can

54
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 4: make you know, if you think about how do you

55
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 4: make America strong again? And this is peace through strength?

56
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 4: Where do you get the strength from production? How do

57
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 4: you do that? You get the energy sector going so

58
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 4: that you can build all the other things that go

59
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 4: into an economy.

60
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we're like, aren't we like the number one

61
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: energy power in the world now bigger than Saudi Arabia.

62
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: There's an oversupply.

63
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: McGlone says, a barrel of oil is going to twelve

64
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: bucks a barrel.

65
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: I'm kidding, well, stranger, you remember when to ten dollars

66
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: a barrel in the year two nineteen ninety nine and

67
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 4: two thousand, when the dollar was super strong, overly strong.

68
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 4: So I don't know that we want it that low,

69
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 4: but it would be good if it comes down. And

70
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 4: the bigger thing is the US could be doing so

71
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 4: much more. You just named parts of the world that

72
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 4: are plentifully supplied, but there are huge parts of the

73
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 4: world that don't have enough energy. And think of the

74
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 4: craziness that we've got because of the lack of pipelines.

75
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 4: We've got the energy. The LNG goes through the Panama Canal.

76
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 4: Such a wasteful use of the water. You know, Panama

77
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 4: Canal is driven by free flowing water that comes from rain,

78
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: and you wash the ships down both sides of the canal,

79
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 4: and you're doing it to get LNG to Asia from

80
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 4: the unit from the east coast.

81
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: Build the harbor overlooking they're already San Francisco Giants Stadium.

82
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 4: That there needs to be some way to get energy

83
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: onto the west coast of either the US or Canada.

84
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 4: They're building one into Mexico, But how does that really

85
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 4: help the US if you have to go down through

86
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 4: Mexico to get your energy out of the out of

87
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 4: the hymns, it's too much geography.

88
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: With David milpensins, I'll save the conversation.

89
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 5: Speaking of down in that part of the world. The

90
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 5: G twenty is just finishing up down in Rio here.

91
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 5: How do you think President elect Trump views the entities

92
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 5: organizations like the G twenty and that try to think

93
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 5: about things on a global basis. How do you think

94
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 5: he anticipates engaging.

95
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 4: I don't know how he thinks about it, but it

96
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 4: should be clear to everyone that that the globalism isn't working.

97
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 4: This is the giant conferences. Think of that ten literally

98
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 4: tens of thousands of people. I've had to go to

99
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 4: these conferences. We recently saw the one in Baku. Think

100
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 4: of the absurdity of having the climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan,

101
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 4: which is the conduit for Russian oil coming under the

102
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 4: sanctions out into the rest of the world.

103
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: So you've got this and.

104
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: Literally it's ten thousand people from that are all trying

105
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 4: to get government contracts. So it's a climate industrial complex,

106
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 4: just like the military industrial complex that's so expensive. You

107
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 4: need to have strong defense for the US, but you

108
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 4: need to have it in a way that's competitive in

109
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 4: the world.

110
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: Dato malpess with the former president of the World Bank.

111
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled that he could join us this morning.

112
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: We welcome all of you on.

113
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: Your commute across nation and of course on YouTube subscribe

114
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: to Bloomberg Podcast. I have literally on the desk at home,

115
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: No Trade is Free. I'm going to read it cover

116
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: to cover just to get an understanding of Lightheiser economics.

117
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: You're at Colorado College lecturing EC one O two macroeconomics.

118
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: David Malpass discussed the efficacy of tariffs.

119
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 4: The system is broken in the world. It was set

120
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 4: up at a time before China was the number.

121
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 2: Two world power.

122
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 4: You had a concept in the sixties and seventies that

123
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 4: somehow there could be kumbaya that everybody could cover together.

124
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 4: Everyone formed a deal, and everybody lower.

125
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: Vice President Harris would agree with you.

126
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 4: And it's completely broken down because you have this giantly

127
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: aggressive commercial power that's not playing by the rules on

128
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 4: intellectual property, on their overcapacity of manufactured goods.

129
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 2: So it's a it's a.

130
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 4: You know, taking away marks from the rest of it.

131
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: Do we need tariffs?

132
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: Did are gradual and marginal or do we need the

133
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: jump condition that the President elect talks about a magnitude

134
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: of tariffs that haven't seen in generations.

135
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 4: You need to get the world's attention that what they're

136
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 4: doing is broken. I don't know if you saw, but

137
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 4: President she was in South America last week and he

138
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 4: was making the case to all the other world leaders

139
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 4: to go gradual. And so China is kind of bidding

140
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 4: for time. They're saying, oh, this is gonna you know,

141
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: we're moving in your direction. And so whether the rest

142
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 4: of the world buys that, and you know, China often

143
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: pays for it with contracts, with gifts, gifts that can

144
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 4: be shared in families, and so how do you stop

145
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 4: that and really get onto a new wavelength with China

146
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 4: and with the rest of the world.

147
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 5: In fairness, should the US approach to China be one

148
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 5: of engagement or one of you know, just trying to

149
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 5: really step back from China.

150
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: How do you think the approach would be?

151
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 4: I think there has so for too many years now,

152
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 4: China's been getting what it wants. I saw that in

153
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: the World conferences. They really are winning on the on

154
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: the soft power. And so you have to take that

155
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 4: back because the US has all the all the ability

156
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 4: to do this, it just has been choosing not to

157
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 4: do it. You know, we've been trying to get peace

158
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 4: through weakness, and so if you switch to peace through strength,

159
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 4: China is going to change its side of the of

160
