1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: Single, best idea. What a week it's been. It was

3
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 2: a holiday lengthened work week. It felt like eight days

4
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: a week trying to get through the news flow. Thank you,

5
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: particularly to our Washington team who basically are going twenty

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: four to seven covering the first days. I feel like

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: it's weeks, but okay, we're four weeks into the second

8
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: Trump administration, and I just want a major shout out

9
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 2: to everybody, Margaret and everybody down in Washington for all

10
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 2: that they've done. And of course he'll tiresly be through

11
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: the weekend. We'll have the German elections on Sunday. Maybe

12
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: it's off the US podcast radar, it should not be.

13
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: It's actually a big deal, obviously, depending how it turns out.

14
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: Coverage for that Monday morning. What a joy today to

15
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: speak to Robert Kaplan, vice chairman of Golden Sachs, of

16
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: course always in forever with his Dallas Fed. We talked

17
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: to him, of course about Jerome Powell, Donald Trump and

18
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: FED independence.

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: The President can jawbone and pressure and that's not new.

20
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: May be more intense right now, and the Fed will

21
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 3: do its job and should to try to extent. They

22
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: can't ignore that make decisions only. The biggest threat to

23
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 3: the FED, I actually think sometimes is not from outside.

24
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: Then you have to be careful as a governor or

25
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 3: a president. Don't try to say things publicly you think

26
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: might go over better, or worry about the pressure. Just

27
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: do what you think is right. And as long as

28
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 3: they manage themselves, I think they'll through this in an

29
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: independent way.

30
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: Robert Kaplan of Goldben Sacks and of course formerly with

31
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: the Feeder Reserve Bank of Dallas, what a joy. We

32
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: experimented once with Mark German from LA at five am.

33
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: It was not a successful experiment, So when he's in

34
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: New York it's important. And we were thrilled to have

35
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: Mark German with us today. Can you imagine being in

36
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: his case at University of Michigan and you've got degrees

37
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: and information sciences and you become a journalist and you

38
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: just work every day on sources. He is the definitive

39
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: voice on Apple, and we are privileged that today along

40
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 2: with the chat on Apple and Tim Cook in the MacBook,

41
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: Mark German with a scoop.

42
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 4: They moved the MacBook Pro, which is not their most

43
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: popular machine, but a really hot seller and really importance

44
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 4: what I use. It's what I think a lot of

45
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 4: people here use, a lot of people in college and

46
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 4: schools use. They can move that to an annual great cycle.

47
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 4: Every November, like clockwork, you're getting a new MacBook Pro,

48
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 4: just like you get a new iPhone every year. So

49
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 4: that is a really big deal and I think is

50
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 4: really important. MacBook Air that's the most popular mac okay

51
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 4: last updated a year ago. Here's a scoop for your show.

52
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 4: Apple's preparing to put the new MacBook Air M four

53
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 4: on sale in March, so next month and just a

54
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 4: few weeks from now. They've started preparations, they've started sending

55
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 4: materials to their retail stores, they've ramped up production, and

56
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 4: they're nearly ready to go on the M four thirteen

57
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: inch and fifteen inch MacBook Air, their most popular machine,

58
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 4: just in a few weeks from now.

59
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: Classic Mark German there looking out to the next thing

60
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to need to buy for the keen household. Importantly, folks,

61
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: we had a very serious conversation with Mark German about

62
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: what's rarely talked about in the media. He's been an

63
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: angel on this, which is the chips I don't understand

64
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: really what they do. I can fake it, but I

65
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: really don't know what I'm talking about. Mark German does,

66
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: and he makes clear that the chip technology of Apple

67
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: is the reason they exist and why he is writing

68
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: about them day after day with an optimistic tone. Forward

69
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,559
Speaker 2: on your commute across the Nation on Serious XM on Applecarplay.

70
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: Good Morning ninety two nine FM in Boston, surviving international

71
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: hockey with a Canadian victory. Good Morning eleven three to

72
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: zero in New York. I'm not sure if there's fees

73
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: on congestion tax right now. I'm not sure if it's

74
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: on or off. Good Morning ninety nine one FM in Washington,

75
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: with all that's going on there, talk about Sleepless in Washington.

76
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: I think they should make a movie of that. We're

77
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: on YouTube podcasts. This is single best idea.
