let's take some time on your question. i got a wonderful e-mail, is greece a a depression? no definition of depression. here's greek gdp in 2007. let's overlay the u.s. in the 1930's. 2007 for greece and i overlay 1929. here is the recovery to 1936 and world war ii. greece has outdone the u.s. in the decline, the depths of the depression. brendan: there's always one parliament that has a final say. the greek parliament, where tsipras has a mandate. they showed up and said we are dissatisfied. the europeans could not believe it. things are truly miserable. tom: this is the moving target era, the last two years of

decline. brendan: this is an experiment on the imf idea of what austerity should look like. did not work out. tom: they are in a depression. carl weinberg is out front. hans nichols as well. a wild we can. a tone of compromise. guy johnson is in athens, hans nichols is in brussels. leaders meet in search of a mutually beneficial agreement. no idea what that means. is going to the accomplished today in brussels? hans: clarity. you're not going to have some long-term deal. it could go one of two ways. we could know whether this is going to go very south or if we are going to have more meetings and more delays. we could get a sense, especially after the eurogroup meeting if they are close to a deal.
6:06 am
if not, start to listen to the words capital controls. tom: i mention of words on capital controls and on greece. which person will tsipras most want to speak to? hans: probably lagarde. at least on getting a deal, he needs lagarde and merkel. those are the ones holding out the most. this is not all merkel. you have to have -- the spaniards are not all that excited about a soft deal. the question for tsipras is who are his allies. maybe you could say juncker but their relationship is not great. brendan: the shot clock is when capital flight out of greece reaches catastrophic levels. 1.8 5 billion euros came out of banks friday alone. what evidence do you have now as to whether that is continuing today? guy: i have taken a look at

banks closed to me. there are not many people in them. there are no queues at the atm. over the weekend we did see huge numbers of orders to withdraw money. you place your order and 24 hours later they give you your money. we do not have a good indication. pretty much what we have at this stage. the ecb has been forced to come in and raise the ela. money continues to flow out. people are saying that tomorrow may be the capital flight stops. people are expecting a deal tonight. brendan: seems like there is a list of emily: tsipras -- a list of concessions tsipras is
6:08 am
holding. does he have a mandate to do that? guy: he does. the majority of people in greece want to maintain in the euro. he walks a fine line between trying to maintain the membership and trying to keep his party on board. people are talking about him taking syriza to the center. it is despite the fact that these guys are communists, they are going to push the greek economy. you could see a sharp bounce back. one thing they talk about you guys might be interested in they give a lot of credibility for the prospect of a deal being done to president obama. they say the pressure he has put on angela merkel on the geopolitics side is significant. a big part is down to him. brendan: great to hear that barack obama has a mandate in somebody's parliament.

economy. vonnie: you mentioned how debt holders are for the most part the official sector. in terms of equities, there's a great story showing that americans hold about the amount of the market cap of dunkin groups in greek stocks. why is it so important to the world economy? julian: it is the notion of keeping the eurozone together. this experiment began in 1929. no one really wants to see it friday at the edges. tom: george magnus has been good about the constraint -- money going out of greece. within your study, has there been any halt to the money going out of greece? fifa julian: i do not see that. tom: 1.85 billion was reported. julian: friday alone. and 5 billion last week alone.

what is amazing about this, they actually say it in a document. these are extraordinary concessions for the establishment to make. julian: i'm happy they did not put it out in a word document. that is more difficult to open. i guess it is one of those things where we need constant reminders. there has been so many episodes of brinksmanship post financial crisis that all of this takes some degree of compromise. vonnie: is that a letter to germany? julian: in a way, no doubt. brendan: smart question. julian: germany holds the keys. if merkel wants a deal done, a deal is going to get done. brendan: do you have confidence the eurozone can get restructured? forget greece. can they fixed europe? julian: eventually. but it is going to take a sustainable growth. does not need to be 3% growth. ubs is looking for 2%$ growth.

gideon: i would have said not that fragile. all these leaders aren't playing games. it is almost like the israelis and palestinians. everyone can see what the deal should be by the parties have a hard time getting there. tom: what do we need to see from the germans? the history, there seems to be a new germany. gideon: germans have to understand that they lose big if this goes down the tubes. they have to be willing to give the greeks something in return for their aid. tom: let's look at the larry summers quote. "the new york times" brothers to my attention. lawrence summers, "when greece fails as a state, europe will collect less debt than it would with an orderly debt restructuring. a migration will stray national budgets, not to mention
7:08 am
challenges from russia." brendan: the possibility of greece leaving the euro is not what anybody wanted. it is hard to understand how much data will has been generated. we had a new proposal not from tsipras but from the eu commission of the european parliament on how to restructure the financial union. that came out yesterday. is there any hope? can restructuring happen if they cannot get greece right? gideon: the greece thing is a necessary prerequisite. the markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. can leaders remain irrational on all sides longer than europe can actually remain? brendan: is this about pride? gideon: there is a motion on both sides. both sides have to compromise. the game of chicken as to who is
7:09 am
going to compromise first and more. tom: i look at the moment that we are and, i hear the fear or concern in smart people. the idea of contagion or debt markdown. how do you look at the ramifications of this for portugal, spain, and even italy? gideon: this is one of the things the europeans are looking at. if the greeks get a really good deal from the greek perspective, the europeans are worried everybody else is going to demand at least as much. most-favored-nation status. they want to hold the line on greece. you have to give the greeks something otherwise they do not have the desire to stomach austerity. how can you give them enough to stay in but not so much that it makes everybody else get their backs out. vonnie: hard to overstate how much of an ideal this was. if a country were to leave, how
7:10 am
big a deal would it be? gideon: would not be that big a deal economically but politically. the european union is a project out on faith. you take a step forward, we're not sure where it ends. we know we are going for. if you start going backward, that's a huge thing. tom: gideon rose from "foreign affairs" magazine. much to talk about here. to summarize, a move in markets early this morning. we had given back a little bit in the last 20 minutes. our twitter questions of the day, has mr. tsipras caved? this is bloomberg "surveillance." ♪
7:12 am
tom: good morning. bloomberg "surveillance." we welcome you worldwide. without question, the morning must read, summers over the weekend. an analyst from citigroup in the "financial times," a scathing indictment of eu leaders, much like we saw a number of days ago. eurozone taxpayers would end up holding the heavy -- via the esm a number of greek bonds that
7:13 am
will never be repaid. time to stop the insanity. read buiter in the "financial times." a superb essay on restructuring. brendan: this has been clear for five years. this debt load is unsustainable. what does europe extract in return for eventually committing to restructuring? tom: gideon rose with "foreign affairs" magazine. a five step program of adulthood . where is the adult moment for eu leaders? gideon: it is like raising kids. tom: really? gideon: you have to train them to be independent but you cannot throw them into deep end of the pool. you cannot expect greece to stomach full responsibility for true maturity in their political economy right off the bat. you have to gradually ease them in. you encourage them to take
7:14 am
greater steps. brendan: gideon rose hip and now on the head. it is like what we see between israel and palestine. everybody knows what the deal ultimately will have to look like. nobody is willing to commit to it because there's no trust. we can say that there are adults, what is missing is you build trust through negotiation. they have failed to do that. tom: do you assume, at the council on foreign relations that there has to be some currency adjustments out greece -- so greece is not linked at the hip to germany and others? gideon: the council does not take positions. tom: i'm trying to make news. gideon: the greeks have to have a way beyond austerity. you cannot just offer pain and responsibility forever. you have to you cannot just have been being irresponsible in their taxes and everything else. can you craft some kind of deal that puts them on the road to a better future?
7:15 am
it should be possible. the danger of israel-palestine, we all thought it is going to work for stop 20 years on, we still do not have it. tom: getting rose with "foreign affairs." coming up. your pentagon michael turner of the 10th district in ohio. with us, next. stay with us, bloomberg "surveillance." ♪
7:18 am
tom: good morning. bloomberg "surveillance" from new york city. futures up 18. they have given back a little bit on greece headlines. vonnie: thank you. iran's parliaments might be putting a roadblock in the path to a nuclear deal. they voted to keep inspectors away from military sites and scientists. it would complicate talks with
7:19 am
the u.s. and other world powers. negotiators want iran to promise not to build nuclear weapons. under their self-imposed deadline, they have eight days to make a deal. no takeover in the pipeline. the word from williams company. the company is rejecting a 48 early dollar offer from chelsea warren. the statement did not identify the bidder bloomberg news is learning it is warren's energy transfer equity. a wall street firm traded football tickets for information about shareholders. "usa today" says the case involves georgeson a former employee of another firm is accused of getting $1200 tickets to a new england patriots game in return for information. the employee is facing federal charges. the tickets are going back. tom: that is a lot of money. i guess i am not shocked.
7:20 am
brendan: you are not shocked. the senate wants to fund the pentagon, $569 billion. ten less billion than in the house holdup. representative mike turner of ohio joins us. serving on the air and land forces subcommittee. should we pay for the pentagon through war appropriations? rep. turner: this is an issue of looking at the president's request of how we might meet the needs of war fighters. we have a budget that fully funds the department of defense in the aggregate. it makes certain that we can't rise to the challenges we are seeing and looking to how we can strengthen presence in europe. this is a budget that the president should support. certainly, both the senate and the house are approaching. brendan: one thing i have
7:21 am
learned is that amateurs talk tactics, the professionals talk contracting. how is the house going to fix the insane way the pentagon buys things? rep. turner: in the bill that the house has passed, there is a number of provisions. they look both at how we can speed up the process we can get ingenuity to the war fighter. also how we can provide greater accountability to the system to ensure we are getting value. tom: that is what the audit process at the early part of the iraq war we were worried about soldiers. the phrase military-industrial complex, may i suggest it is more military than it used to be? rep. turner: you have to look at what are the needs we have, how we can reach forward into our economy and find ingenuity and cutting edge technology.
7:22 am
also, how we can look to balance the needs we currently have. tom: does congress have a grasp of the pentagon. rep. turner: absolutely. we have an enormity of shifting needs. if you look at what is happening in europe and with isis we have to be able to respond. brendan: one of the main conflicts when you talk about being nimble is the difference between what the pentagon asks for and what the house and senate gives it. the pentagon is saying we are done with the a-10 this is the warthog that the troops love. who's in charge? rep. turner: you have to look to what the pentagon is saying. they are saying we do not have the funding to maintain the a-10, they want the a-10. every time congress finds it the pentagon uses it. it is being actively used. gideon: in some ways it is like the greece thing. the white house administration needs to give funds that the
7:23 am
pentagon needs. it should demand structural reform in return. brendan: we will see how that goes. tom: we love to talk about technology. peter cook is joining the pentagon. peter cook will become a spokesman for the secretary at the pentagon. is it lima, ohio you have a tank plant. what do they do -- they are making tanks, that's all technology right? -- old technology, right? rep. turner: absolutely not. you can see what is happening here at having heavy equipment is important. for the safety and also to advance. what the plant does is not only creates tanks, it also upgrades then. the upgrades is important. tom: that is old technology. brendan: we are running out of
7:24 am
time. can your house and senate reach an agreement? do you think there is an agreement possible? rep. turner: the president needs to accept yes. if you have the house and senate providing spending, he should accept yes. he believes that the epa and irs are not being funded sufficiently. brendan: mike turner of ohio is staying with us. lawmakers in iran are threatening the potential nuclear deal. live in tehran when we come back. this is bloomberg "surveillance," streaming live on bloomberg.com. for our twitter question, we return to brussels, where we are so often. alexis tsipras arrived in brussels. a list of proposals he has offered to change the way pensions are paid out. does this, is he caving? tom: improving a little bit. the risk on is ebbing away.

7:32 am
article that shows one currency can work given the differences of greece and what we see in depression, ursus germany with unemployment going from 7% down to 4%. gideon: if they leave, there will be so much volatility you may as well rename the currency the gyro. brendan: how long have you been waiting on that one? gideon: the last break. tom: does a partial depreciation or full depreciation, is that the only path? gideon: we have to find some way of loosening it up so the greek cabinet -- greek can go forward. brendan: we always talk about how economists do not get controlled experiments but we got one, we get to watch this happen. the imf had this model, impose them on greece, and it did not work. despite how haphazardly greece seems to have been negotiating, there is generated and earned anger. tom: this is the end of 2014.
7:33 am
where is this now? this is 1933. gideon: i was struck by something our correspondent in athens said, which is they gave great credit to barack obama for pushing a deal forward. gideon: every leader is usually taken a little more seriously outside than they are at home. what tom said about the depression is important is the key thing about the depression, that is when western leaders recognized in order to save capitalism you had to give democratic populations some sense of security and stability, and you cannot let markets run rampant. tom: where is the new deal today? let me do a day to check right now. it is an improving take. -17, we are now -15. that is with bond market and currency adjusting, really moving set of headlines i set of headlines out of europe here it

7:35 am
one of those is whether the supreme leader would give it approval. the moment, it is difficult to say the effect this bill will have. lawmakers voted in favor but it is a week version of what it was last week. crucially, it is not law. it has to go through a number of executive chambers first before it ratifies. brendan: gold are, you are in tehran. what is the difference between what you hear on the street and what is in this bill? is there a difference? golnar: it is an interesting question. i think most people are very -- most people i speak to, they want to see -- they want greater
7:36 am
prosperity in the lives. they want to see the currency get -- strength and to what was over does go years ago. -- doesthere are concerns among some parts of the population but i think those again. talks about the way the talks are going but in general, people want to see these talks continue and i think lawmakers do as well. tom: thank you so much. some of the color in tehran as the negotiations begin. from the 10th congressional district in ohio, michael turner is with us this morning. you are in actual executive service, former mayor of dayton ohio. that is important because this becomes more complex. iran, we have our images of it all of it overlaid on shia sunni, and a rock.
7:37 am
how do you dovetail the iran discussions into what all of america look at with isis? rep. turner: certainly as you look throughout the middle east you see the turmoil happening, the lack of strategy and policy and their lack of achieving goals that they had stated. tom: they had an ugly weekend on this. rep. turner: the president has admitted he does not have a strategy and you are certain he seeing that. with respect to the iran negotiations, the question is, do we have a deal? the administration has said there were elements of this deal that you ron says are not in the proposal. there parliament is taking action to limit the inspections to say, we will not have our military facilities open. brendan: beyond the details of the deal, what is the proper role of congress in these negotiations? rep. turner: certainly providing oversight.
7:38 am
the president should look at this as a treaty. i think this should have gone through the normal process in the senate of ratification of the treaty with the administration says they are not going to go through those processes. at least congress has taken action but in this, the goal is supposed to be preventing iran from getting a nuclear weapon. i do not think most people believe that will be achieved. tom: gideon, do you agree? gideon: i think the legislator in the u.s. is more important than the legislature in tehran. this is not going to block the deal. the question about whether the deal will be good enough for congress to accept and not block is still an open question. brendan: keep in mind when you say the legislator is a problem you are sitting next to a legislator. gideon: i am more worried about the legislature in washington to block the deal more than tehran. brendan: how a legislator this morning as mike turner,

7:43 am
who said this would matter forever, this is the direction europe should go in. now he is saying it is druckman time potentially. are you ready for that? brendan: what i am wondering about, i have seen lots of noise over the weekend and also in that tweet about, let's save greece, what we need to fix the euro go -- eurozone no matter what happens. gideon: everybody thinks you should go forward, at least the elite tapes think you should go closer to union rather than far a lot -- part it ultimately for this old to work, you have to have greater integration. stephanie: in theory i 100% agree with you just like in theory, i would like to see washington, d c function. the most we can hope for is to kick the can down the road and the sad reality their bank is that market participation,
7:44 am
leverage finance guys are going to be the only ones will make money or succeed through this and europe will continue to suffer. gideon: but this is, again, this is sort of a bad habit. i was an intern in the european parliament in 1994. stephanie: that must have been cool. gideon: it really was, it was an amazing pickup line. here's the deal -- at the time they were wondering, can you have the euro can you have monetary union without fiscal union. we still have not answered that question. gideon: going back to israel and palestine we cannot go to final status talks right away because the divisions are to bang big. what if your little steps do not build the confidence? vonnie: can i just mention, he has a blog and it is not in his
7:45 am
interest to get rid of greece because then the euro union will be stronger. stephanie: is it not in his interest? brendan: stephanie ruhle will be on "market makers" with francesco papa dia. he helped invent the euro. he will be on at 8:00 a.m. eastern. this is bloomberg television and bloomberg radio. ♪

7:50 am
they will do to us. the assumption is we need human labor. is that assumption being tested? gideon: in the early 19th century you might've set automation and technological change is coming in horses will be out of the business. horses actually did very well. there were more horses in the economy at the beginning of the century death at the end of the century than the end. in the next half-century, forces went the way of horses. the question is, will humans whose jobs have stayed around will they eventually be facing their horse and buggy moment and the future will their jobs go away? that is an interesting question. martin wolf has a great piece in the issue. he is not worried because he thinks all the technological who plot is overdone. i think the optimists might be right. brendan: third two myths about
7:51 am
autumn nation that of improving wrong, that it will read and are -- render human labor obsolete and that we can spend more time with our families. gideon: we participate in the economy and life in multiple different roles and in our role as consumers, in our role as purchasers of leisure options, we are going to do very well. things will be cheaper, there will be more to do. our role as workers, our jobs might be taken away. how will we be able to purchase the leisure time in the goods to fill that leisure time with what kind of money? where will we be getting the wherewithal to do that as we might not have jobs? it is an interesting question and no one has answers. your job will be going away. the new question is, well new jobs emerge? vonnie: argumentation -- arguments are that we will need
7:52 am
people to run the robots. will there be enough jobs for those people? gideon: essentially you are betting on the con here. the question is, will that happen now or will digitization and automation get to a point when a link between the satisfaction of our needs and a human job is going to be broken? tom: you lead, and of course the great work they have done out in m.i.t.. what is their basic theme about this new era this new moment we will fall into? gideon: things really are different. we're in a second machine age is how they put it and this time around, there may not be the standard process in which new kinds of jobs come around because this time around, the machines might actually fundamentally change things. humans have the power to hold that, just like the greeks have
7:53 am
the power to say no to your. humans have the power to say no to increasing automation. brendan: did we incorrectly focus on actual physical beings, cars, mechanical dogs? eventually they will come for your job and my job, and that will happen not in a machine but on a server. gideon: algorithms are just as important as actual robots. a roomba is not that giant terminator pushing the dyson. the interesting question will be when automation and artificial intelligence are ubiquitous will that fundamentally change life? brendan: when are they coming for our jobs? gideon: one of the things people in the magazine say, the next 10 years will not look radically different but after that, all bets are off. vonnie: do we have to make great strides in artificial intelligence? gideon: it is going forward so

7:55 am
drinking martinis? tom: when you get to a certain age, that helps. showing optimism and skeptics. brendan: it is not the size of the type, it is what it says. vonnie: we have our twitter question of the day and thank you so much for sending in your tweet. we asked you, has sippers caved? the first answer, no, he has not. do you remember when you own the bank $50,000 a ou but when you own them $90 million you own them? brendan: i do not know that that is true. i do not know that that is true of greece because the real problem is that the rest of the eurozone has been isolated from greece and the convention is, it may leave without a program -- problem. tom: when is the restriction going to occur, it all comes down to that.
7:56 am
vonnie: he has to at the end of the day, too risky for no deal. third answer, how does the saying go? beware of greeks bearing gifts. in this case, a deal. will they stick to the deal? brendan: in this negotiation you see the eu creditors costs only wanting to building mechanisms to force greece to do things they do not trust it will do on its own. this is a negotiation with no trust. vonnie: there are individuals involved here to. brendan: let's like a morning show, individuals and egos. what is your agenda this morning? tom: it may be greece. we need to watch headlines. we will do that for you around the world on bloomberg. the basic theme is we have got to get the aunt today. -- beyond today. brendan: it is always a jog to
