the bill is due to the imf on may 12. christine lagarde says the bill is due. industrial jeffrey immelt and general electric reported earnings. good morning, everyone. this is "bloomberg surveillance." joining me, as always, is brendan greeley. olivia sterns is off today. brendan: republicans are trying to rescue a trade agreement backed by president obama. it is opposed by many of president obama's own party. unions and environmental groups are among those opposed. >> you can make the argument that a trade agreement like this will increase corporate profits. it probably will. you might even make the argument

that it will improve gdp. maybe it will. but if it does not increase middle-class incomes, which is the greatest problem we face in the country, i cannot before such an agreement. brendan: the white house said it will open the economy to more products. the imf is playing hardball with greece. christine lagarde said she will not let greece skip a payment. greece told creditors earlier this month that it might have to skip a payment. the issue comes down to other greece will agree to more economic reforms. the greek finance minister said that the answer is yes. >> what we're asking for is absolutely sensible. we are a new government. we need to come to terms with our partners on four or five

large returns -- reforms. brendan: chances appear to be shrinking that the fed will raise interest rates in june. in february, the atlanta fed president said he wanted to keep the possibility open. after his speech yesterday, he said the june was not off the table. don't we all just sit around and listen to allen center -- ellen zentner? for the first time, an american citizen has been accused of training in syria and then returning to the u.s. to conduct a terrorist attack. they say he was trained in weapons and hand to hand combat.

his lawyer says the charges are a bunch of nothing. verizon announced that its tv will allow users to pick which channels they want to watch. they are facing pressures from companies like netflix and youtube. tom: yes, i watched it last night. it is not the force that is with us. it is the hype and the buildup. the december release of the new "star wars" sequel. disney hit the ball out of the park. "star wars: the force awakens." brendan: spiked all over america. tom: watch the trailer. it is not like blowup

explosion. it is about script and story line. brendan: it is about tjehe wookie and han solo returning. i realized that this story relies -- resides in my limbic system. tom: i don't know what you just said. brendan: i am excited. tom: my favorite of all of them was "the empire strikes back." "star wars" is back. let's get the force with us on the bloomberg terminal. equities, bonds, currencies commodities. euro advances. with all that is going on in greece. stronger euro. nymex crude. it could really use a multi week rebound. on to the second screen, if you would.

greece three-year yield, we will get to in a bit. german yield staying at the zero bound. yen -- that is important. an ever-stronger yen. let's go to the bloomberg terminal. the three-year greece paper. this is fascinating. 100% yields. excuse me, that is summer 2014 restructuring. normality for a cup of coffee that good greek coffee. we are now through 20%. impossible 20% yields. brendan: i looked at this and i saw something completely different. right here, you say you think it looks like luke battling against darth vader. then he loses it.

he is saved at the last moment. then we are not really certain what is going to happen. all we know is that he is lived. perhaps he will endure. i'm sorry. what were you talking about? tom: i'm going to spend the entire weekend getting back up to speed on "star wars." ken princess leia -- can princess leia have the hair like she had in episode one? orrin hatch and the republicans handed the president a fast-track authority on trade. senate democrats are 44 shades of livid. peter cook is in washington where an ancient dance commences. what is the back story? what is the drama? peter: a few democrats wandered over. ron wyden.

this is a very big deal. the announcement that he has reached a bipartisan agreement with orrin hatch on trade promotion authority this means that the obama trade agenda, which has been in the freezer the last couple of years is once again on the front burner. the president has a real chance to pass two major trade deals before he leaves office. this is the most significant economic items the president could achieve in his final 19 months. tom: as you always do, you cut to the chase. it is about the senator from oregon. how were the pacific states lining up around this trade deal? peter: oregon is a big exporter. they potentially could benefit. ron wyden made a difficult choice in backing this kind of legislation. he faces criticism in his home state that this is a deal that may do more harm than good to

american workers. that is the hurdle he has to overcome. he is convinced this is good for oregon, the country, and american workers. he thinks that because he has insisted that there be certain conditions within the legislation that will ultimately help, including tougher labour provisions environmental provisions, and more transparency. tom: what is important is that this is not a trade dialogue of 10 or 20 or 30 years ago. it is a new american economy. brendan: i saw the name ron wyden and i heard a dog whistle which opens internet access. this is what people in silicon valley are talking about. only recently has this become a trade priority, but that has become part of the deal. are we seeing the increased lobbying power of silicon valley on capitol hill? peter: you can be sure that

technology is part of the debate here. the reason the 2002 trade promotion authority was out of step with the times today is that it does not involve enough of the digital economy. it has to be updated. this is a direction that ron wyden was going anyway. he has faced protesters that almost every single stop as he goes home. they did not want him to vote for this, a lot of people in oregon. tom: kevin rudd will be with us in the next hour. brendan: one last question. is this a one-off issue or is congress unstuck? peter: this is a one-off issue. you will not see paul ryan and

mitch mcconnell working as hard on any other issue. this is republicans, the president, a handful of democrats and a lot of democrats -- powerful democrats -- standing in the way. tom: ready, set, lobby. bringing out the big guns to sell stories two senators of all stripe and color. how does your firm react to an announcement like this? >> there is a change that may be taking place in all of this. we are thinking that this packs will now go through and that is a very important thing for the country. tom: do you lobby for selected groups? >> no. tom: did they call you? >> we tend to look at this and

think about what is best for the country. tom: what would you say to senator schumer this morning? he is a 1940's, 1970's mode whatever. >> it is global. that is the only way it has to work. we have to make these changes because we have to compete in the marketplace overall. brendan: what has changed to allow this to happen? >> i don't know what happened but it did happen. it is probably because this is good for the country. we need to be more competitive. brendan: there has always been the argument that trade is good for everybody overall and there has always been the resistance from unions. it is an ancient dance, as tom described it. the unions to not have the power they used to. the argument you are advancing his winning the day.

what i can't figure out is what has shifted in the last five years? >> may be something in the politics that is behind the scenes to bring the country back to more normalcy. i am hoping that is the case. brendan: nothing has changed in the arguments. >> nothing has changed. it is a repeated game that is being played. tom: i want to turn you to twitter right now. this is important. dr. evil is rumored to have taken bloomberg down with a laser given to revebels. brendan: there are too many memes to figure out. tom: we have been down through the morning on the bloomberg terminal and we are now restoring full coverage on the bloomberg terminal worldwide, as

tom: the many residences -- this at the cologne cathedral. angela merkel is attending the event. the doomed plane went down on march 24th. among the dead was the copilot accused of deliberately crashing

the airbus. brendan: the news caused a national conversation in germany . this cathedral is as close as you can get to a nasa -- national cathedral. the cathedral itself remained at the end of world war ii and it is such a powerful place for germans. an unlikely alliance is taking place. republicans are trying to rescue a trade deal proposed by president obama and opposed by many democrats. many democrats say the deal will hurt wages and eliminate jobs. the white house says it will open markets to american goods. the imf is getting tough with greece. christine lagarde told tom keene she will not allow greece to skip a payment. greece told its creditors that

it might be able to skip a payment. security officials and washington are trying to explain how way gyro copter got through restricted airspace to land on the capitol lawn. 61-year-old doug hughes literally flew under the radar. he faces felony charges, but he has been allowed to return home. the centers for disease control said the use of e-cigarettes highschooler's has tripled. it is ahead of traditional tobacco stoping -- smoking. a majority of americans think pot will be legal nationwide within two decades. the brand-new survey -- 17% say it is five years away. 2% think it could happen in the next year.

help me understand -- what was everyone allegedly lying about? >> you are saying it perfectly. he took center stage and he was on the right-hand side of the political spectrum. he was saying that the people of britain are being lied to about pretty much everything, about the state of the economy, nhs, immigration. it was on the attack. the people in charge were not there. it made for an interesting debate. you are missing david cameron and nick clegg. on ed miliband, the main opposition party, he did not talk so much about the economy, but talked more broadly about foreign policy and about what it means for the british person voting on the election. >> i believe that britain can do so much better. not a penny of our plan is paid

for through borrowing. we will have more doctors and nurses paid for by a mansion tax on properties worth over 2 million pounds. we will clamp down on the tax avoidance and we will freeze your energy bills through 2017. >> they are lying about borrowing more money, is what one of the opposition leaders was alluding to. tom: mr. cameron tweeting out yesterday, giving a major shout out to christine lagarde. is there validity to the idea that christine lagarde thinks david cameron saves the u.k. economy? >> the imf has been a supporter of some of the measures put in place by the coalition government over the last few years. things are pretty rosy at 5.6% unemployment compared to 12%

unemployment in italy. it is not doing badly. my question is if the economy is not doing so badly, why are they still lagging in the polls? if you have been in charge five years, you should be winning this. tom: it is an audit, on time. -- it is thenan odd, odd time. from new york city, futures are negative. it is "bloomberg surveillance." ♪

not interested in anything but the program. tom: do you think they talked to christine lagarde's people? did they talk to greeley's people? brendan: no one talks to greeley's people. greece is finding out that the deadlines are the deadlines. that is the news. tom: we will continue the discussion through may 12th. general electric is out for -- with earnings. stay with us. this is "bloomberg surveillance." ♪ .

tom: it is earnings season breaking news on jeff immelt's ge. we forget how large they are.

what i first see within the headlines is the industrial segment down 1%. it is a nominal gdp, real gdp analysis and looks to be a bit of a struggle when you see that any price already. brendan: this is coming on the heels on the move away from ge capital. we have how with us from boston consulting group. -- hal with us. in a very boring but incredible important things they might like turbines, is that a good bet? >> i think it is, the world is growing coming --, economies are growing, we need to have more infrastructure particularly in the developing world. it is a good idea to start investing further in that. brendan: the question we address all the time is why we are rain for it? do you see a will to go out and pay for this infrastructure we

need? >> in the emerging markets it is there and i assume ge is focused on the emerging markets because that is where the spending is. tom: the technology of how we get earnings ge used to come out with a clear press release and now they are trying to do it over their website, and i do not know what organic revenue growth is which is the number everybody wants to know, the interior company revenue growth. to be honest, the headlines are very strange, the stock is down 1%, fractionally that speaks to it. brendan: it is fun to be reminded that the journalist is their job is not to make your job easier. tom: jeff immelt, brendan greeley mesic, we need to get perspective on the theoretical challenging's he is facing. he was doing applied mathematics as a young turk in dartmouth.

net phelps was big on the labor economy later in this hour. we are honored to bring you that phelps on jeff immelt and your industrial america. professor phelps has been out front in his difficult world on the new new, dynamism. if you were sitting with jeff immelt today, what would be your advice about how to spur that strangest of things, economic growth? ned phelps: you have to do a whole bunch of things and any one thing will not be enough. you have to have a change of attitude, and orientation of companies towards innovation, much more than we have now. my impression of the established industries in the heartland is that the ceos are obsessed with efficiency. every dime of inefficiency

brings a horde of people who invest that, nobody is thinking about innovation. tom: you address this in your speech at the bank of international settlements. we can bring this conversation forward to the trade agreements. here is the president and republicans agreeing to go forward on trade, if you are sitting with orrin hatch or chuck schumer, how do we move from the legacy attitude of trade towards the phelps -- fortinet phelps -- toward net phelps'dynamism. ned phelps: it is huge. tom: what about in washington? they have to have a change of attitude there. ned phelps: what washington has to do is introduce competition to the business sector. my impression of the business sector is it is very oligopolistic, vested interests

are dug in and, we have regulations that create a hurdle for new entrants. we are not getting a flow of new entrants. and the government is not just failing to do something about that, it is one of the actors. brendan: i was fascinated by this point in your book, that this -- we lack the political language to talk about this. large companies often do not like competition. they extol the values of competition but we do not have a party structure in america to talk about big companies succeeding, that are squashing innovation in smaller companies. how do we change the language in washington to have this conversation? ned phelps: read my book. brendan: that was a shameless plug, even from a nobel laureate. tom: hal with us from boston

consulting group. what is your worst practice doing at ge? hal: you want to focus and that is what they are doing now. focusing on the area they can grow in. they have decided to jettison their financial services area because they are not going to have the future they need. tom: how do officers delegate responsibility today versus five or 10 years ago? hal: there is much higher delegation in many of these things. what we are watching now is the concerns of the ceos because they are watching difficult decisions being made poorly. there is a real change here that is taking place, but it is switching back and forth as they are trying to find ways to deal with very large company's. tom: they are also working seven days a week. you wonder about exhaustion. brendan: innovation in europe,

no matter where you go, you talk to innovators and they described what they are doing as a silicon x. a silicon roundabout in london stockholm is the new silicon valley, but silicon valley still remains the definition of how you create innovation. what is the element of that? why is it so hard to export that? ned phelps: although we have been criticizing america and i fully agree with that, i think it has to be said that europe is in much worse trouble than we are. china which likes to talk about innovation, has a long way to go. in europe, there is simply no conception of competition, no conception of leading vested

interests to see whether they can survive. the europeans are mired in some sort of classical economics -- with no concept of innovation change, challenge, -- brendan: but really good coffee. tom: we was big about the american labor economy in two minutes. brendan: we are going to talk about innovation and labor because they are into -- intertwine, what happened you are the buddies -- your company when your coworker is a robot. available to any place that calls itself a silicon x at bloomberg.com. ♪

tom: good morning. worldwide with markets on the move, we have seen abrupt moves in both jon ferro and i agree. i will go to the tension at the imf on greece. there is a correlation among different markets whether it is u.s. futures down 14 or the german 10 year is now at .05.

what do you see off our london desk? john: a southern movement in the last 20 minutes in the dax, off 2%. i think the bond market is instructive of what is going on. the last 12 months has been a buy everything scenario. yields follow. today, you saw that story yesterday, the record low in germany is stunning but a move higher in spanish and italian yields over the last couple of days is the risk aversion we used to see in 2012 come at with the big difference, the overall yield is lower. we are starting to see that risk aversion pumped into the bond market in a way we haven't seen in a number of months. brendan: a sharp move starting at 610 this morning, the german 10 year surging down to five basis points above zero. i can only conclude it has

something to do with the reappearance of han solo in the "star wars" trailer. john: when you look at a move like that you want to find the trigger. we sit back and everybody will blame greece, i will not pinpoint the trigger, because it is impossible. as tom points out, the last couple of days the concerns over greece have started to escalate. tom has been in washington and listen to the noises coming from the imf and world bank. the creditors and the -- in greece are no closer to finding a deal and there are big on reductions coming up and they do not have the money to meet them. tom: i want to go back to your report. the market guys seem to be more in tuned with the angst than the economists. and the talking heads -- what are the notes going into the london weekend saying about what the markets will do, monday or

tuesday? john: economist look at this low-inflation environment and are looking for central banks to put your foot to the pedal and have estimate. the bond market guys are looking at the moves and thinking, there is a reason to be uncomfortable yields are at record lows and what you could see is extreme volatility. the last couple of months, what you saw with the japanese government bond yields, the yields have doubled within a month and the guys on a fixed income side of the business are looking at this bond market and getting uncomfortable with what is going on and the sun -- the southern direction. if we get a southern rebound and what we have seen the last year things could get messy. tom: thank you so much, greatly appreciated in london with markets on the move teachers -14. let's get to our single best chart. brendan: robots the topic, this comes from boston consulting group. what if i percent of the world's

manufacturing task will be done by robots. how do we know they are human friendly? by 2025, we are looking what countries will say and labor cost. when i but that this i think of chuck schumer, wherever he is in new york, freaking out as he watches what happens when economies innovate and you see labor being replaced. how do you sell this idea -- the savings in labor cost to the democrats in washington are adamantly against this? hal: i am not focused on the democrats in washington. i think it is the basics of economics. we need to be competitive as a nation. if not, we will fail. we have baggage we need to deal with. the use of robotics makes us sharper. tom: this goes back to -- we will talk about this later, ned,

the arch fear of our listeners and our viewers is simple, those robots are going to take our jobs. is that still true today? ned phelps: the same process that generate the robots have all sorts of effects on the economy, so it does not make sense to focus on just the robots. you have to ask whether a more innovative economy is on net, taking everything into account, contractionary. historically, it is expansionary. the years of enormous innovation in the u.s. history from 1830 until into the 20th century was accompanied by a amazing expansion of the labor force. tom: a nobel laureate can say that, secretary clinton and the republican -- whoever is running -- they do not have that luxury. brendan: how wants to jump in.

-- hal. hal: ever since -- there has been a complaint that we will lose all these jobs. every cycle we do this -- brendan: it depends on how you time the cycles. of course we will lose jobs and we will regain them on the backside -- what does it do for the people who are momentarily displaced for the long-term greater good. hal: it takes time, we have been through a recession where we had a lot of that displacement and we will see that again, but this will not happen in the next one year or two years, this is a 10 to 40 year change. tom: you are bringing up what every candidate has to confront, i have 2 smart guys at this desk and the politicians do not care. they are getting heat from americans disenfranchised by

this gobbledygook. brendan: voters do not think about the long economic run they think about the negative five years of their own life. faster phelps, in his boston consulting group data, i was shocked to see the cost savings over the next 10 years in india and indonesia in robotics or zero. is this a developmental phase they have to go through? hal: their costs are so low, they do not want to put any robotics. tom: this is extraordinary to have you in the real world and -- talking about a dynamic america, an election coming through, there are 2 americas. to borrow from john edwards. there is in america, including us at this desk doing great, and another america that feels like the boat left the dock. brendan: this is something you have addressed in your work, it

we have a hard time dealing with how bp -- real people make decisions. ned phelps: it is about real people solving real problems and having a new ideas. classical economics does not have room for that. that classical economics is what most economists are talking about night and day. tom: i say this with great respect to your multi-abilities across economics, if paul krugman -- is paul krugman onto something when he says we have to go back to the 1930's and the analysis of pain and hicks? i just want to get you upset this morning. [laughter] is professor krugman on to something? ned phelps: no, we have had too much keynesian economics. it is true that when the government lets people off it creates -- they become unemployed.

to understand unemployment, we have to understand the adjustment process, how long does it take for the unemployed person to get drawn into a job. brendan: we will talk about that in a second, we need to take a break. the forced is not with john maynard keynes, but our twitter question of the day is about disney. tweet us. this is a "star wars" report. ♪

about chinese and american friends is that when it comes to things like security policy is that these countries are deeply realize. they understand where the bottom lines are from both their perspectives. my argument is to be realistic about the things -- the two countries ask the disagree on, but make sure you have a protocol to manage this dis agreements. brendan: let me jump in on that. when you say be realist, apply that to actually dumping sand in the middle of the south china sea to create an island. what is the actual realism to practice their? what does that mean? >> on territorial disputes, you just mention one, they have fundamentally different positions as the many countries within the region. the question that you have to ask is that in the management of that particular territorial dispute, do you allow people to

hold the u.s.-china relationship? my argument is that you manage it. on the constructive side of the management, there's a bunch of stuff for these two countries to do while globally together that if you do it well you can build levels of strategic trust over time. not easy, but a credible framework. it translates ok on the chinese side of the argument as well. brendan: we have had a parade of people come on the show saying that the u.s. watch the rollout of china asian infrastructure investment bank. what is your prescription? what is the realist way to approach that? >> i'm not about to preach to the united states government. i think a whole bunch of foreigners coming to the country is not helpful. my advice is that we should frankly call down a bit. it is not pretend the western

ability to move forward here in cyprus and in greece. >> yes we do. i agree that we are playing chicken in greece now, but we are hoping that the great government gets their act together. and cyprus were pulled down by the greek bonds a couple of years ago. that gotten out of greek on snow. most of those countries i assume do not have a lot. brendan: the problem is that you are engaged in very real world investments. the longer these negotiation straw out the worse their position gets because we are seeing that this is not a fixed system. we are seeing the world change in real time and every new drip of news, to live this, makes it harder for greece to negotiate. >> i agree. it is going to be difficult for this government to do it because they have a left wing and the party that does not want them to move. but they're going to have to make decisions to save the euro in the country. >> i think the other piece that is meaningful here is that it

shouldn't be a surprise. these economies probably do have limited exposure at this point. most have limited exposure at this point. the problem is that perceptually, they are making it worse and worse. and you end up with a risk of frankly a real run which make the unmanageable. brendan: let me clarify what happened. banking subsidiaries of greek lenders in the country to exit all exposure to greek state bonds. these are the instructions. >> many of the great tanks to have subsidiaries in those countries. many of them are nicely being funded by their parents rather than the other way around. tom: i want to emphasize for our audience. this is paul tumble off the bloomberg news desk. this is the new transmission of information within our global financial system. forget about the canary in the coal mine. i don't even know what the right

talking to me about ties. josh rosner, the debate over fannie and freddie is between economists and pragmatists. >> it is still washington-wall street issues. if we were thinking about it rationally. at the end of the day, fannie and freddie operated in various forms up until the crisis fairly well. we had a problem in the 1980's with fannie mae because it was so rely on portfolios and became insolvent on the market basis. but they function as the backbone of liquidity in the secondary mortgage market. they got off track with a business model and the ridiculously low capital requirements and with the use of the portfolios in the late 90's. they moved into the primary market. and that created the problem. to suggest that we can rub them up and replace them with the banks and a single mortgage securitization platform that is run by, let us say, they think.

access to credit. it is much a problem of borrowers who really do not have the qualifications for that credit. it is much of a demand problem as it is a supply problem. tom: within that demand problem, you are supportive of the bush family, mr. lockhart, for years. i believe another bush has another hat to throw in the ring. could there be a new republican politics for mr. rosner's america that is worried about getting a mortgage? hillary is trying to talk to people. could jeb bush go out there with the same resonance that hillary clinton is attempting? >> i think he has a strong message. he is a moderate in some ways and conservative and other ways. the message has to be that we have to get the government out of housing as deeply as they are. they always will be and i agree with josh. we need to find a way to put some other capital in the front of the government when it comes

to housing. brendan: i would say that jeb bush's most enduring achievement out of florida is a caged -- his education. can you run a campaign on your education record ? >> i think education is important in this country. we have to do a better job of educating our kids from nursery school and on. tom: is he going to be a six hour "surveillance?" brendan: i'm driving this afternoon. they're going to see their grandmother and it is going to be great. tom: your agenda. brendan: my agenda is greece. we have seen pressure downward on the bond yields. we have seen news added countries around greece where the central banks are telling rate bank subsidiaries to limit their exposure to greek government debts. there's a lot happening today. we always say grace is an issue but it is definitely an issue today. tom: trade war is upon us.
