1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,159
Speaker 1: Borga Brende there wrapping it up their president and CEO

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: of the World Economic Forum, having just spoken with the

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: United States President Donald Trump as he addressed Davos, and

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: just to run through some of the key focuses. Of course,

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: his election win was where he focused initially and then

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: tackling crime, immigration, energy inflation, whether it's looking at energy deregulation,

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: even talking about powering AI in the US with coal,

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: tackling trade policies, deficits relationships. He spanned China, Asia, Canada,

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: the EU, singling out some of the legal action being

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: taken by the EU against some of the big tech

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: companies here in the United States, of course Meta Google,

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: Apple being singled out there, concerns about the Russia and

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: Ukraine War once again focused on and in fact a

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: view that all prices need to come down to be

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: able to ensure peace there, and calling on Saudi Arabia

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: to op its investment in the United States to a

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: trillion dollars, but also calling on Saudi Arabia and OPEK

18
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: to reduce energy prices and all prices more broadly, and

19
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: then going on to tackle the relationship the future focus

20
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: of China. Let's wrap it up with bny Megs Lisa Bromowitz,

21
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: who is out in Davos. What was it like to

22
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: be there? What did you think about the statements and questions?

23
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: Being my age as well, well.

24
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: I will just say, Caroline and thank you so much

25
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: for having me that the line outside of the Congress

26
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: Center where he was going to be broadcast was the

27
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: longest I have ever seen in my years coming to Davos.

28
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: There were people standing there for an hour ahead of

29
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: time for the chance to be in that room, which

30
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: gives you a sense at a time the last day,

31
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: when a lot of people are already gone, of how

32
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: important people thought this would be.

33
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: To listen to. I will say the fact that he.

34
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: Did take the time to message into Davos was very

35
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 2: interesting in terms of an international outreach. In terms of

36
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: the main takeaways for me, at least with respect to

37
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: your question about what the main questions here were.

38
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 3: Number One, he wants lower.

39
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: Oil prices and he is going to ask Mohammed Vincelman

40
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: of Saudi Arabia for a trillion dollar.

41
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: Investment in the United States.

42
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: He wants Opek to lower their prices, and he wants

43
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: to quickly remove some of the constraints around regulations and

44
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: permitting for energy projects. Number two, he wants lower interest rates.

45
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: He wants lower interest rates for the United States and

46
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: around the world, really trying to make.

47
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 3: That a priority. I thought that was very interesting.

48
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: And then of course the tip for tap but very

49
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 2: much negotiation was very interesting. He had a much more

50
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: constructive tone toward China towards Hi Hinping than potentially in

51
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: the past.

52
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 3: I will just say that it was notable.

53
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: To me his comments to Brian Mooyn ahead of Bank

54
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 2: of America saying open your bank for business to conservatives

55
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: and saying Jamie over there at JP Morgan you too.

56
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: It just shows sort of the overhang and the reason

57
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: why DEI ESG not relevant at.

58
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 3: This particular DeVos.

59
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: At the same time that there is some of the

60
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: initiatives sort of speak to those same issues, but very

61
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: much in economic terms either way. Carolyn, a really interesting

62
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 2: speech to cap four days of really intense economic conversations

63
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: here at Davos.

64
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 4: Lisa, a question for you about the attendees in the

65
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 4: mood in the room. You've spoken to a number of

66
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 4: them during your time there. Ahead of the speech was

67
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: the president's message and its responses to the questions enough

68
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 4: to satisfy what they wanted to know going into it.

69
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think that there still is a lot of

70
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 2: uncertainty of exactly how they're going to strip away regulations,

71
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: how quickly they're going to get permitting. I thought that

72
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: Steve Schwartzman's question was really interesting and speaks to how

73
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: much European leaders here at Davos have been talking about

74
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: what they can do to emulate some of what Donald

75
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: Trump is talking about here in Europe. So I think

76
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: that these all address the issues. I don't know that

77
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: it gets into the nitty gritty because a lot of

78
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: people want to see, where are the tariffs, what's negotiation,

79
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: what's reality? That wasn't going to be answered in a

80
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: speech today, But the fact that he messaged in was

81
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: interesting in and of itself, basically saying he still wants

82
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: to do business with the rest of the world, he

83
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: feels still thinks the rest of the world is going

84
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: to be doing well. And then I thought was interesting

85
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: given the fact that some people were saying, maybe he

86
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 2: doesn't even care about doing business elsewhere.

87
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: Lisa Bromowitz from Davos, we thank you so much for

88
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: coming late and wrapping up that key speech from the

89
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: President of the United States. It's notable that in that

90
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: speech he referenced artificial intelligence, wanting to be the world

91
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: capital for it, and indeed thinking about how you're going

92
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: to provide energy, even turning to Cole Look, this is

93
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: on the back of that enormous one hundred billion dollar

94
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: up to five hundred billion dollar investment in AI infrastructure,

95
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: as was announced by of course Larry Ellison. We had

96
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: Masayoshi's son and indeed Sam Altman. Now on the back

97
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: of that, Elon Musk and open Ai Sam Altman are

98
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: actually feuding about whether the money is really real for Stargate.

99
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: Let's bringing Max Chafkin, who knows a thing or two

100
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: about this feud, and it's going on online.

101
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 3: Yeah.

102
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 5: Elon Musk, Sam Altman, of course co founders of open

103
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 5: Ai back when it was a nonprofit. Elon Musk and

104
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 5: Sam Altman are now locked in a lawsuit over that

105
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 5: beginning and our competitors.

106
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 3: The thing we saw.

107
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 5: Starting yesterday is Elon Musk going on Twitter and essentially

108
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 5: saying that this big announcement, this you know, day three

109
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 5: of the Trump presidency, this big plan to create one

110
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 5: hundred billion or even five hundred billion dollars worth of

111
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 5: AI infrastructure is not true.

112
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 3: He called the news fake.

113
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 5: He said that Sam Altman is a quote swindler, and

114
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 5: then he posted a series of messages suggesting that Altman

115
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 5: was like secretly some sort of liberal at a time

116
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 5: when Alman has been attempting to have sort of a

117
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 5: trumpy evolution. Really unusual in the sense that normally you

118
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 5: don't see the criticism of the big White House announcement

119
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 5: coming from inside the White House, and that's what we're

120
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 5: seeing right now.

121
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: Max.

122
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: If you're a CEO going in to meet with Donald

123
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 4: Trump to talk about business the way he just invited

124
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 4: them to do at Davos, what are you thinking after

125
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 4: seeing this spat unfold.

126
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 5: I mean, I think that Altman and Masioshi san and

127
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 5: all of these guys are doing their best to give

128
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 5: Trump what he wants, which is these big moments, these

129
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 5: press conferences, a lot of flattery, and so that's what

130
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 5: they're doing.

131
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 3: I don't think that's going to change that much.

132
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: Nice check in wrapping up very quickly what is an

133
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 1: ongoing feud online, and we'll have him back to talk about.

134
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: A little bit more. But that does it for this
