Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news, your single best idea, and today it could be fourpal best idea. I mean, there's that much going on, the President, of course, speaking at one pm today on reciprocal trade. Thank you so much to all that helped today on this new concept
from the nineteen thirties. Wendy Schiller at Brown was absolutely brilliant on reciprocal trade and the idea of how things have changed from GAT, from the World Trade Organization and from George Bush senior and junior.
This is like a mind meld. I was just thinking, this is exactly the opposite of the George Herbert Walker Bush and the George W.
Bush Republican Party.
Which was, you know, engage, exert influence, send troops where you need to. So this is a complete see change. This is going back to the nineteen forties. This is sort of Southern Conservative Democratic Party isolationism. This is we will exert power when we need to, when it's in our interest, but otherwise we are not going to come to the rescue of democracy. We're not going to promote it. Clearly shutting down usaid you know, we're not going to
do this anymore. And John Quincy Adams said this, you know in the eighteen twenties, you know we'll be with you, but we don't have to go in search of monsters to destroy. That's what he put how he put it, it's taking the United States into a completely different realm on foreign policy. But it's not sought power. Trump is willing to use the power. He just used it in his interest in the United States interest.
Wendy Schuldert Brown University or Textbook's definitive on the span of American history. I really can't say enough about balance
of power. Katie Lines show Matthew look for their work here on all of this tariff upra I can't for those not up to speed on this story worldwide, It's simple that there has been a tariff discussion, but it is now shifted from should we have five, ten percent, twenty percent rise in tariffs of maybe selected big countries to now almost tit for tap reciprocity or reciprocal tariffs, where we look at a given country and say we're
going to do exactly what they're doing to us. It's a whole different tone that we're hearing out of the White House today, also with us today and again on Ukraine. Damien Sasar was just wonderful and it's questioning today to our number of our guests here, Angela's Stent was able to join this morning. Doctor Stent has a definitive book out on Putin, and of course the news here is that Trump will speak to Putin down the road here on Ukraine. All sorts of ebbs and flows here Angela's
Stent of Brookings. Her book is Putin's World.
What I find curious about all of this is that if you read the book The Art of the Deal right, you don't give away your maximum position before you start negotiating. And so mister Hegseith and a con by President Trump have essentially conceded to the Russians most of what they want. So I would think that this would probably be when they do meet, you know, a rather positive engagement, because they're only the same.
Page Angela's Stent there. The Brookings Institution can't say enough about Putin's World. It was my book of the year. Oh, I'll say three years ago, I believe, I do want to say on single best idea. We're working on the plans forward. We got to figure out how to do
a video of this along with the audio. We're not there on that for all sorts of different reasons, but it's really building out nicely again on the commute across the nation on digital radio like Apple car Play, Serious, XCM, Android Auto Good Morning, particularly Angela's stints ninety nine one FM in Washington. In the experiment that is YouTube, we are thunderstruck by the growth you subscribe to Bloomberg podcasts on YouTube podcasts. This is single best idea
