Downstairs though, inside the train station, 254 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 16: all of the gates are down.

Of course, 261 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 4: New Jersey Transit buses are running. You also have ferry service. 262 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 4: But is all that combined even enough to make up 263 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 4: for the lack of rail service from New Jersey Transit. 264 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 10: Absolutely not. 265 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 16: They're talking about three hundred more than three hundred thousand 266 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 16: daily commuters that ride New Jersey Transit daily, So the buses, 267 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 16: the ferries, the light rail, this is only going to 268 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 16: cover about a fraction of riders, not even twenty percent. 269 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 16: So New Jersey trans is urging as many commuters to 270 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 16: stay home today, work from home if they can. You're 271 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 16: going to see a lot of traffic on the roads 272 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,599 Speaker 16: if you decide to drive in. But they're going to 273 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,440 Speaker 16: get more buses in here, but still it's not going 274 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 16: to cover the amount of commuters that take these trains daily. 275 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 4: All right, again, New Jersey transit train engineers. They went 276 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 4: on strike just after midnight, and as Monica tells us 277 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 4: from Penn station there in midtown, they're about to set 278 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,359 Speaker 4: up the picket lines. Bloomberg's Monica rigs Karen John. 279 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 3: We want to repeat some of our top stories this morning. 280 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 3: President Trump is wrapping up his tour in the Middle East. 281 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 3: On his final day, he met with US and UAE 282 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 3: business executives. Hopes for a Ukraine and ceasefire have faded 283 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 3: after Russia's Vladimir Putin sent a low level delegation to 284 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 3: talks in Turkey. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says progress 285 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 3: is unlikely without a meeting between Putin and President Trump. 286 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 3: Republican infighting in the US House is threatening to sink 287 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 3: President Trump's legislative agenda.

Thanks Karen, 291 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 4: and we want to turn our discussion to JP Morgan 292 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 4: chairman and CEO Jamie Diamond wide ranging exclusive conversation in 293 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 4: Paris with Bloomberg's Francine Lacroix, the head of the biggest 294 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 4: bank in the US, says the recession remains a possibility 295 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 4: as tariff rollout continues to ripple through global economies. Let's 296 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 4: now go to that conversation. 297 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 8: Trade War's markets. 298 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 10: Up and down. 299 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 17: What did you learn in the last month. 300 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 13: Not much other than we have all this uncertainty. You know, 301 00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 13: some preceded the new administration, like we had large deficity. 302 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 10: It's instur rates going. 303 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 13: Up, inflation going up, and some are you know, tariffs 304 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 13: and things. And of course the geopolitical situation is very tense, 305 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 13: very difficult and hard to resolve. 306 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 17: Okay, so if you forget projections numbers, what's your hunch 307 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 17: is the UYS going to go into a recession or not? 308 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 13: Look, I'm going to defer to economists who give it 309 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 13: about a fifty percent chance. I think all these things 310 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 13: are probably inflationary a little bit more and slowing down 311 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 13: the economy. If there's a recession, I don't know how 312 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 13: big it'll be or how long it will last. 313 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 10: Hopefully we'll avoid it. 314 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 13: But I wouldn't take it off to the table at 315 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 13: this point. 316 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 17: If you look at you know, the trade war and 317 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 17: then the somewhat reconciliation between the US and China, does 318 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 17: it hold. 319 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 13: I think it's the right thing to do is to 320 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 13: back off of some of that stuff, you know, to 321 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 13: have an engage in conversation. I'm grateful they did the 322 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 13: US UK deal. You know, it's an agreement of principle. 323 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 13: So you know, there's a lot of one sertay still 324 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 13: and there's all of one stay still in the China thing. 325 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 13: But at least we started and obviously calms down the markets. 326 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 13: That's not the reason to do it for the market, 327 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 13: you know, do voters something like that, and so you'll 328 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 13: still have uncertainty to resolve. The ninety day triggers a 329 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 13: lot of these things, and hopefully they will be resolved. 330 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 13: What are your real their complex I don't expect immediate resolution, 331 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 13: you know, it's the satisfaction of everybody in ninety days. 332 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 17: Would you expect markets to settle from here because we 333 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 17: have a little bit more of a blueprint or could 334 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 17: volatility pick back up in any second? 335 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 13: Markets are quite unpredictable. I think there's a lot of 336 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 13: uncertainty out there that you can't discount, you know when 337 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 13: I you know, war in Ukraine, terror in the Middle East, 338 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 13: you know, I ran. 339 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 10: You know, huge deficits. 340 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 13: Are tax bill, which I would like to see a 341 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 13: good tax bill at pass, you know, the terrorists, the reaction. 342 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 10: Of country to tariffs. The EU and the. 343 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 13: UK are about to negotiate, and I think they have 344 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 13: a chance to actually develop a great relationship, you know, 345 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 13: partially making up for you know, the disaster the Brexit became. 346 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 13: And so, yeah, those are uncertainties. You can't eliminate them 347 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 13: because you want to. 348 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 17: But what are your biggest clients saying about this market volatility? 349 00:16:58,760 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 17: Have they made money on the back? 350 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 13: Yeah? 351 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 10: Some you know, some doing some don't. 352 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 13: And you know, volatility volatitier would be good or bad 353 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 13: depending on you know, who's who's facing it. So but 354 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 13: but I would expect continued volatility. I think it's a 355 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 13: mistake to think we can go through all the things 356 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 13: we're going through and the volatility itself will calm down. 357 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 17: Has it been good for JP margin, you know, trading. 358 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 13: Revolically, Yes, because when there's volatility is a very simplistic 359 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 13: way to look at spreads gap out, and traders make 360 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 13: more money if there's more volume. So we had both 361 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 13: this time, more volatilely more volume. It's very often you 362 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 13: have a lot of volatility and spreads gap out. 363 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 10: There's much less volume. 364 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 13: So you've seen examples where there's good volatility and there's 365 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 13: bad volatile. 366 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 10: It just one happened to be good. The next go 367 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 10: around may not be so good, Jamie. 368 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 17: When it comes to financials, I mean, you know a 369 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 17: lot of I guess non bank entrants are making quite 370 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 17: a lot of way Citadel Jane Street, is that, you 371 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 17: know a concern for the banks. 372 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 10: Should it be a problem for the banks? 373 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 13: I would call it a problem. You know that both clients. 374 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 13: I'm very capable, you know. But I've always had the 375 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 13: view there are a lot of competitors out there, and 376 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 13: you know, all the major banks are back. I think 377 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 13: that's a good thing for the world, you know, maybe 378 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 13: not so much for Jamie Morgan. There's you mentioned those two, 379 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 13: there's Apollo, there's a lot of fintech, some very good ones. 380 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 13: There's Stripe, there's PayPal. Yeah, my view has always been 381 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 13: the same. I tell the magic you assume competition, assume 382 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 13: they're coming at. 383 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 10: You in every angle. 384 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 13: Assume they often have their own strength, sometimes their own weaknesses. 385 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 13: They won't all do great, but yeah, I think they're 386 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 13: you know, some of these people gaining quite a bit 387 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 13: of shared parts of the business. We still are too, 388 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 13: by the way, So you know we're in the fight. 389 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 13: We're not losing out very much. But that doesn't mean 390 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 13: you won't lose out tomorrow because you're winning today. 391 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 10: So what do you have to do today? 392 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 17: How do you see the people that are doing you 393 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 17: know well today doing even better tomorrow. 394 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 13: It's about us are other people both it's quality of 395 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 13: people you interviewed pernav. I mean, we have exceptional people 396 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 13: in investment, banking and sales and trading, and I put 397 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 13: right next to that technology. But it's related because those 398 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 13: people deploying technology. So there are thousands of technology projects 399 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 13: and then there are hundreds of AI projects, all of 400 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 13: which are meant to do a better job for customers, 401 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 13: consumer research, how we deliver. 402 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:07,959 Speaker 10: Things to people. 403 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 13: And if you don't move, you know you're going to 404 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 13: be left behind. I mean, I remind me you could 405 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 13: be a country or a company. You do not have 406 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 13: a divine right to success. You know, we mentioned as 407 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 13: management learnings as I did. You can see it on 408 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 13: YouTube and all that. But I put out to people, 409 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 13: look at the bank, look at no Keia, BlackBerry, Sears, 410 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 13: Kmart bearster Lehman, I can chapter of diverse a failed 411 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 13: companies usually because they're complacent, arrogant. They think they're on 412 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 13: the top of the top of the world and they're not. 413 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 13: There are competitors coming everywhere, and you should assume that's 414 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 13: gonna be true. 415 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 17: Do you see competitors coming for the US? 416 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 10: Yeah? Where Europe? About the countries countries, Yeah. 417 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 13: I think Kerestormer, Mers and Macrone. I think Macrone's on 418 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 13: the best political leaders in the planet today. Okay, I 419 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 13: think here Stormer is smart, devoted, There's ay the right 420 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 13: things public and privately. 421 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 10: All of them talking about growing. 422 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 13: The economies, thank god, pro business, pro capital, and they're 423 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 13: doing all of that to improve the lot of their citizens. 424 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 10: It's not about what they're doing for JP. Morgan. 425 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 13: And if I was Europe, absolutely I'd want to great 426 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 13: live in the UK military, economic, and I would reform as. 427 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 10: Best I can in all of European things. 428 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 13: But they're all talking about now deregulation, simplification and yeah, 429 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 13: they show it could be in America, and that would 430 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 13: be good for America. 431 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 10: It doesn't make me say it. It makes me happy that 432 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 10: they're strong. And then you know their allies. 433 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 13: I want our allies to be strong and powerful military 434 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 13: and economically. 435 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 17: Do you worry about us supremacy actually exceptionalism? 436 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 13: Yeah, I look, I never believe are quite that exceptional. 437 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 13: I mean, remember, America is an unbelievable country with freedoms 438 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 13: and the gifts of God and you know, water, food, energy, 439 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 13: and then the gifts of founding fall is called freedom 440 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 13: of religion, freedom of speech from an enterprise that those 441 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 13: dwarf everything, and so we still have the most prosperous 442 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 13: economy the world's ever. But the Americans shouldn't take it 443 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 13: as a divine rights succes either. We've slowed ourselves down 444 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 13: with regulation, stupid bureaucracy. You know, we're not getting We 445 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 13: haven't done budgets in years, you know, So now we 446 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 13: should assume it's forever. I don't think we'll still be 447 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 13: pre eminent, you know, militarily and economically for a long time, 448 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 13: you know. But if we don't do everything right, we 449 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 13: can lose that too. You have twenty thirty forty years 450 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 13: from now, and I think very important that is America. 451 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 13: The goal of America should be to help the military 452 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 13: alliances of the Western world and to help the economic 453 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 13: alliance of the Western world to walk side by side 454 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 13: like you did in victory in Europe day the other 455 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 13: day here to strengthen the Western world and hold it together, 456 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 13: you know, not the cause of the fragments, and so 457 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 13: I think we have to work hard to make sure 458 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 13: that's the case. 459 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 17: Do you worry about the deficits and do you worry 460 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 17: actually in the US, And do you worry also about 461 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 17: the US dollar remaining as a reserve currency? Do you 462 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 17: think Europe has what it takes to try. 463 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 10: And put the euro in there? 464 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 13: Yeah, So I think I should have mentioned definite upfront 465 00:21:58,480 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 13: as being one of the issues you have to deal. 466 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 13: And I think acid prices are quite high too, and 467 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 13: those create various risks for America. Our deficit is almost 468 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 13: two trillion dollars six or seven percent of GDP, the 469 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 13: largest peacetime deficit ever, and we have one hundred percent 470 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 13: debt to GDP. That one hundred percent debt to GDP 471 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 13: is kind of universal almost around Europe on average, but 472 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 13: your deficit is a much smaller. 473 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 10: Does that create a risk? 474 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 13: Absolutely, it creates a risk of inflation. To me, it 475 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 13: creates a risk of higher long term rates. Well, you know, 476 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 13: but America will a dollar that week. I don't know. 477 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 13: That's a slightly different thing. I think you could see 478 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 13: rates go up, the long bond rates go up, and 479 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 13: you know that might slow down to growth. And that's 480 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 13: how we you know, kind of a stagflation kind of scenario. 481 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 17: Would you I mean you must see President Trump regularly. 482 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 10: What do you tell what would you tell me? 483 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 13: I talked to all of us. I talked to all 484 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 13: of the folks there. I wrote about my chairman's letter. 485 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 13: I mean we have first of all, America should worry 486 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,239 Speaker 13: about things we can do better. You know, I call 487 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 13: it blue tape. I mean our regular we are out 488 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 13: of control. We're doing the same stuff that they did 489 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 13: year that you know virtually, you know, the American publican 490 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 13: I don't know the gdpeper person of Europe has gone 491 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 13: from something like ninety percent of Americas to sixty five percent. 492 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 13: And they did it to themselves, rules, regulations, over complication. 493 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 13: They started the European Union, which I think is a 494 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 13: huge accomplishment of mankind. 495 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 10: They got to finish it. 496 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 13: And here they they called the Capital Markets Union, the 497 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 13: Banking Union. You know, they have to create a big 498 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 13: common market of four and fifty million people. And so 499 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 13: in America it's the same thing. It's regulations, it's permitting. 500 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 13: You know, we've overdone, We've wasted a lot of money 501 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 13: in the green economy. It's getting jobs back, it's training 502 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 13: in schools, it's fixing immigration. So we've stopped at the border. 503 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 13: But now we have to have a more merit based immigration, 504 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 13: more seasonal immigration, you know, things that can help the 505 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 13: country grow. And then we have to work on our 506 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 13: military alliances and economic alliances. And that's for the sake 507 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 13: of the future free and democratic world. 508 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 17: But on the economic alliance, is there a concern that 509 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,479 Speaker 17: actually certain countries in Europe or elsewhere will choose non 510 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 17: USBN for bondage fences, will choose non US asset managers 511 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 17: to manage their pensions. 512 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 13: Yeah, there'll be a little of that, you know. I mean, 513 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 13: you know, we Irritain a lot of people, so I 514 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 13: run into them, they say, you know, like they're not 515 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 13: buying our you know, Kentucky bourbon or stuff like that 516 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 13: there'll be some of that, and I think it's perfectly 517 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 13: reasonable for you know, I spoke to a lot of 518 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 13: investors here. They're thinking about the ass allocation of the 519 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 13: Ied State's well they diminished. Possibly is America a banded 520 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 13: investment destination out If you're going to take all of 521 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 13: your money and put it in one country, it would 522 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 13: still be America. I mean, it's still the most prosperous 523 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 13: nation of the planet. It's got the best military in 524 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 13: the planet, It's got huge amounts of immigrant innovation. 525 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 10: People are catching up. That's a good thing. 526 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 13: You know, China's doing some very good innovation and medical 527 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 13: and AI, and we should assume they're continue to do that. 528 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 13: But America still got the best our gdpeople versus eighty 529 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 13: five thousand dollars, you know, China's fifteen thousand dollars. 530 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 10: We haven't. They're ashamed about. 531 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 13: We should fix our problems because we could grow a 532 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 13: lot faster, which help all of our citizens. 533 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 17: But if you put too many tariffs and actually too 534 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 17: much uncertainty, does that not squander Actually a lot of 535 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 17: the assets that you listed. 536 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 13: I think they're doing the right thing now, which is 537 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 13: the back off of it.
