1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: Single best idea for you and really an interesting Monday,

3
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: to say the least, a little vignette into how we

4
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: do this. We did this years ago where we told

5
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 2: our guests, our Esteam guests, that we value so highly

6
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: that they could be canceled at any moment. There's breaking news,

7
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: there's news that happens financial, the bond market blows up, etc.

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 2: You know what, you go to it because that's what

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: you want. We did it on Saturday and really did

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: it on Sunday where Eric and Bennett just spent all

11
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: weekend working on giving you the voices on geo politics.

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: One of those we went to was James Stavetas in

13
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy five when it was the last thing on

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: the planet an American lad would do join the Navy,

15
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: and his set of books over his career was extraordinary.

16
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: We learned this morning, of course, of him commanding one

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: of these guided missile cruisers, the USS Barry, which is

18
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 2: an Arlely Burke class cruiser, and we got just terrific

19
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: perspective from James Travetas on what's going on on board

20
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: those ships in the Eastern Mediterranean. Here's Admiral Stravitas on

21
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: the larger picture of Israel and Iran.

22
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 3: The Israelis have said they will respond to this three

23
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty drone ballistic missile cruise missile attack. Fortunately

24
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 3: the air defenses were discussing destroyed. It knocked down three

25
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty of them essentially, But Israel will respond. However,

26
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: I don't think it'll be a massive jets whistling above

27
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: Tehran kind of response. I think it'll include offensive cyber

28
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: maritime operations. Operations. Don't look for a big escalation at

29
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: this point.

30
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: And of course one of the things we talked about

31
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: was their ability to close the Straight of Hormuz, and

32
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 2: I was stunned at his comments on very ancient, very

33
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: quiet Iranian submarines that could be out there assisting in

34
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: a close Admiral Stravitas mints no words with minds. They

35
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: could shut down that important Arabian golf Persian golf bottleneck,

36
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: if you will, the Strait of Hormus. So that was

37
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 2: just wonderful. Ian bremer is everywhere, and unlike most people everywhere,

38
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: the quality of the work is exceptional. There's no other

39
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: way to put it. He puts out a detailed research

40
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: note with Eurasia Group and of course with all their

41
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: wonderful people. But what he really does is he writes prolifically,

42
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: particularly in the summer where he's off with his family.

43
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: And Ian Bremer has done any number of books that

44
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: speak to the moment, and one of those was his

45
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: iconic effort at G zero World. We began our conversation

46
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: with Ian Bremmer today considering his thoughts on the G

47
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: seven in these two nations in the Eastern Mediterranean.

48
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: Iranian strikes in a sense are the higher priority for

49
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 1: the G seven, but that they don't want to see.

50
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: They really resist the potential for Israel to engage in

51
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: strikes against Iran that could precipitate a direct war. And

52
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: right now, I would argue, you've got Benny Gans largely

53
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: sympathetic to that message, someone that would like to be

54
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: the next Prime Minister of Israel and he has a

55
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: vote on that war cabinet. And you've got Benjamin Nott

56
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: Yahoo who is fighting for his political life and is

57
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: not sympathetic to that argument. Gants is saying, this is

58
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: the time that you should strengthen alliances with countries like

59
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: the US in Germany, and an Yahoo is saying this

60
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: is the time we've got to hit the Iranians back

61
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: directly hard, even if that means a more isolated and

62
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: a more unilateral Israel. That is the nature of the

63
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: debate inside Israel right now.

64
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: Ian Rubber there and it was incredibly busy morning with

65
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: Gold and Sachs. Ernie's really surprising up the stack launching

66
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: off the opening this morning, some challenging news from Tesla,

67
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: from the meme dj T as well one other conversation

68
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: I want to mention here and like I get so

69
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: many emails like what's the one book I should read?

70
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: My book of the year last year was a Loom

71
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: of Time. We were honored that Robert T. Kaplan, who

72
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: was just on with us recently, would come back this

73
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: morning and give us just wonderful, wonderful perspective as he

74
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 2: looks across the loom of time from Morocco over to Persia,

75
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: over to Iran. And I think it was just a

76
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 2: really trench at conversation. Look for that out. I should

77
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: make it announcement that not only do we have our

78
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: live broadcast on YouTube, YouTube search, Bloomberg Podcasts, but also

79
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: we're now rolling out that complete show taped so you

80
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: can listen to the entire show after the fact. We're

81
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: in the process of shaking that down and being sure

82
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: it works. An incredible effort by our team today on

83
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: international relations, and of course on the equity lift. We're

84
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 2: into earning season that will be interesting as well. We're

85
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 2: out on Apple CarPlay. Can't say enough about that. In

86
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: twenty nations across this nation download the Bloomberg Business app.

87
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: It's just fabulous, particularly on a newer, fancy car. And

88
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 2: on YouTube, we are blown away by the international sense

89
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 2: of YouTube. You go in, you search Bloomberg Podcasts and

90
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: there's an incredible photograph of Lisa Mantel. What can I say,

91
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: Just click on Lisa Mintel and that'll get you to

92
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 2: us on Apple car play, on YouTube. This is singlest

93
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: idea for Bloomer surveillance.
