WEBVTT - Single Best Idea with Tom Keene: Douglas Irwin & Nathan Dean

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:15.240
<v Speaker 2>A single best idea. Paul Sweeney just told me it's

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:17.160
<v Speaker 2>going to be a long speech. I guess the president

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:19.239
<v Speaker 2>has wound up. We're all going to have to get

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 2>comfortable with our popcorn and a beverage of your choice

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 2>for a lengthy State of the Union. Joe Matthew, Kaylee

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Lions will have great conversation, deeper, thicker, better conversation than

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 2>so many others. I think they do a great job

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 2>at that. Our conversation that he was on trade Douglas

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Irwin definitive on the American history of trade and tariff.

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Doug Irwin of Dartmouth College on the next legal battles.

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 3>The new terriffs, which are ten percent. He's promised fifteen percent,

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 3>but they haven't issued the executive order on that quite yet.

0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Those will probably be subject to legal challenge, and that's

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 3>because the statute allows for the President to impose tariffs

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 3>in the cases of a balance of payments, deficit, or disequilibrium,

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 3>and it's not clear that in an era of floating

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 3>exchange grades, whether it's such a thing exists anymore. Now.

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 3>The other side is that the tariffs can only be

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 3>in effect for one hundred and fifty days and then

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.199
<v Speaker 3>require congressional approval. So there's a lot of uncertainty about

0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:20.680
<v Speaker 3>how this is going to play out over the next

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:21.399
<v Speaker 3>couple months.

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Douggarwyn of Dartmouth Nathan Deane stopped by running Policy US

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 2>Policy for Bloomberg Intelligence. He had a very cogent summary

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>of what to look for this evening.

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 4>There's three themes that we're telling our clients to watch

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 4>out for. The first is geopolitics, and the reason why

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:39.679
<v Speaker 4>this is so important is for everything else, President Trump

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 4>says tonight, there's a process, we can work the process,

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.680
<v Speaker 4>and there's time to respond. For geopolitics, that can change

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 4>in an instance, so obviously keep an eye on what

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 4>he says there. The other is tariffs. He's going to

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 4>double down on tariffs. I don't think you're going to

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 4>see any new information coming out from tariffs, but he's

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 4>going to double down, and he's going to have to

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 4>look the Supreme Court in the eye and say, why

0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 4>did you essentially reverse my AEPA tariffs. But when it

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 4>comes to affordability, you know, we're seeing a lot of

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 4>headline risks and opportunities. We don't anticipate a lot of

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 4>new ideas.

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Nathan d There of Bloomberg Intelligence on the soiree this evening.

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 2>On podcasts, We're on on Apple, We're on Spotify. On

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 2>YouTube podcasts, a single best idea
