it all comes back to the economy. there is a growing sense among china watchers that we have five interest rate cuts since november plus a slew of measures going,to get the economy especially at the state and provincial level. but the economy is not showing traction yet. not starting new feedback. there is a separate debate that isnese stock market affecting the economy. brendan: is there a sense that the people's bank of china actually has a tool left that they are waiting to employ? is happening right now is very complicated in china. they are trying to stimulate growth through the people's bank of china, and they can cut rates if they need to. they are trying stimulus on a similar thing, but they are also trying to shore up the yuan, intervene with the stock market,
6:15 am
and push through reforms to try to get the economy going. it is a much bigger picture than just interest rate cuts in china right now. froman: we have david woo bank of america with a. he will throw you question as well. david: what do you think about the sentiment on the ground? last week when the shanghai composite was about to go below 3000, we did not see the central bank intervene. flirting with the 3000 level, do you think intervention is about to kick in? enda: there is no sense here that the shanghai has hit bottom yet, that the chinese intervention program has ended yet. there is a wider feeling that the overall sentiment in china remains quite fragile. of capital in terms outflow and what china is having
6:16 am
to do on the yuan and the currency side of things. there is no feeling that china's economy is turning a corner, unless some of the infrastructure spending kicks in. maybe then they might call a bottom on the shanghai. brendan: we will likely come to you again this week. oo, and it was talking about a capital flight out of china. what is this fear that they may -- that that may turn into a flood? david: chinese nationals have overtaken canadian nationals as the largest buyers and commercial real estate in the united states. how do these chinese people put down $10 million or $20 million in new york city? i have no idea. where there is a will, there is a way. tom: right now we have breaking news on this theme of china.

this is the regulatory body from the chinese equity markets, and there is a probe beginning. sitik securities on their ceo. this is something you can go with with a new autonomy. what is the prescription you would recommend to china to get a grasp on the macro while they deal with the micro events? -- the firstey thing when i get up in the morning is look at where is your dollar trading at. these days there is only one number i'm interested in, which is the seven-day repo rate. which is the benchmark interest rate in china. the seven-day repo rate today is hardly where it was three months ago. tom: this is critical, this
6:18 am
observation, within their contrived libor rate. legitimate institutions, or are they a house of cards for beijing? david: the point is the seven-day repo rate, shockingly, has not come down the last three months, even though the stock market has come down 40% and they have cut interest rates twice. they are not intervening in the fx market. they would be draining liquidity out of the system. what does that tell you, the price they are paying for the renminbi stability? they need to -- tom: this is a restrictive policy of china. does that folder over to a restrictive policy within the united states? is janet yellen dealing with an internationally imputed restriction on top of her dovish comments? david: absolutely there it is

6:24 am
it is going to offset the impact of low interest rates that result in qe. recently we see a lot of companies issue a lot of debt and engage in buying back stocks. not ironically, it tends to depress spending because bond investors. i think from that point of view going the other way, it might bring back some of the animal spirit that we need. brendan: paula dwyer's point was that if you are an economist, things settle in the long term. in the short-term, what kind of effect will that have? david: it could be a little bit of a lower hang for the stock market. pretty short-lived. unfortunately, with a gun to our head, had to study maglione and miller's
6:25 am
theorem. it is always very important. what are the ramifications of all that u.s. money abroad, and how should it be moved back to the united states? david: one of the big important japanese investors said to me zero interest rates in japan have become counterproductive because it means investors want stocks to behave like bonds. honda, why toyota and even though the yen has gone down 50%, did not increase production by cutting market share. tom: is that a reason for janet yellen to raise rates? to get us off the zero bounds? that: there is no question low-interest rates -- we are getting to a point that it is no longer doing much good for the world economy. tom: let's ask the question that ken rogoff and william bauder
6:26 am
were asked -- and william poynter were asked. i don't think china can cut rates while the fed is trying to hike rates. think china is more desperate to cut rates than the fed is desperate. i think it will be very difficult. brendan: we have to go to break. coming up, the world's biggest car show kicks off in frankfurt today. we are talking to the chairman of peugeot. carlos tavares. this is "bloomberg surveillance ." ♪

6:35 am
and we are committed to those , not only to service their cars, but also to bring brand-new technologies to the market, and brand-new products. we believe we will of course find the appropriate partner. we are eager to benefit some of this. china is 1.5al for million units by 2020. are you backing away from that? carlos: not at all. we know the growth in the chinese market is going to happen. the recession rate of china is 1/6 of other areas of the world, which means that the growth will continue, but with some bumps in the road. but ultimately the growth will be back.

6:37 am
taken, it should not affect the rest of the world economy. it is reasonable to recognize that the health of the u.s. aonomy has now reached threshold, and from there, things should happen, but at the same time we should expect that in north america would not affect the rest of the world. the consequences may be even -- hans: behind us we have the 308, the gti version. describe for me where peugeot is now quickly. ago, -- withinrs two years time, thanks to the commitment and the collective discipline of our people, we have finished this turnaround. we have demonstrated that we significant cash flow and

"his is "bloomberg surveillance on bloomberg television. ♪
6:41 am
brendan: those are crowds in serbia, looking in the european union, and that is the border to hungary, which has been closed off. we have found a list of routes to europe. if you cannot get through hungary, they can go through the eastern border. there are a lot of ways to get into europe. germany believes it will see one million new refugees this year.
6:42 am
there are many sound moral reasons to do this. there are also other reasons. that is the subject of today's "single best chart." jeff black forwarded this to me. on long-term contributions to german growth from migrants. what you're looking at is unfilled job vacancies. 20% of germany's workforce is over 65. tom: in america, we do not know that. that is what you witnessed if you are living in germany, the dp pulling of germany. brendan: germany also got a bump the balkan wars from people who moved to germany, and also people from eastern germany who moved into western germany. if you cannot do it through productivity and capital formation, you can do it through migration. david: in theory, brendan is
6:43 am
right. but europe has a terrible record in terms of integrating into prince -- integrating immigrants. basically the unemployment rate among refugees, asylum seekers, is around 75%. i think right now perhaps all these people pouring into europe may in the short-term boost the economy. but by the long-term challenge, it is going to be huge. is it possible to draw a distinction among european countries? germany has a history with integrating its turkish minority from the 50 -- from the 1950's. france has less of a reputation of being able to do that. unless germany is about to embark on a massive peopleructure project, could be slotted into jobs for a quickly.
6:44 am
tom: we all know the phrase euro-sclerosis. but here we are with a tepid nominal gdp. can refugees actually help? david: i think they are on the margin. the government will have to spend a bit more money to process these people, but in the medium-term, i am more worried about the fact that the schengen -- it will be difficult for these countries to cross each other. tom: does the united kingdom eu, with jeremy corbyn and the rest of it? the refugee crisis, from that point of view, it will strengthen the -- brendan: jeremy corbyn has said he is unconditionally for eu. 's point, let's bring that chart back. you are absolutely right that you cannot just immediately slot people into unfilled vacancies.
6:45 am
there are differences between the unfilled vacancies in germany and the ones in japan. in japan they need service level jobs, construction workers. in germany, it is more skilled technical jobs that are going unfilled. you cannot just take a person and put them into an empty job. go to top photos per here is ramy inocencio, and this is a link to the migrant crisis. ramy: the number three top photo -- this is u.k. prime minister david cameron, who traveled to a camp, a refugee camp that has or so.ugees and 90 tents that is a mile from the syrian border. david cameron is asking the eu to focus on helping refugees with aid. tom: this goes to all european leaders, just making at up --
6:46 am
just making it update by day as they go. brendan: david cameron has urged that europe, if it wants to help by going to europe instead of making these dangerous crossings. it is all politics. ramy: the number two photo in the united states -- a little bit lighter. claiming a a bear little bit of pizza. it made its way into a colorado pizzeria yesterday, found a shelf in the back, and decided to take a nap. the bear saw an open door into the pizza place. colorado wildlife was called and they found the bear cub sound asleep. brendan: this was a funny joke until it turns out that the bear was malnourished. ramy: the number one top photo at the is two kayakers san juan island in washington

state. they found themselves in the middle of a group of killer whales. they paddled out in the morning, spotted the mammals swimming in front of them, and there you go. they appeared right in front of them. it startled them. they believe there were about 30 killer whales or so in that group. such a cool close-up experience. tom: is it smart to do that? brendan: yes. killer whales do not attack kayakers. they attack people when they for months atosed a time. sorry, that was an editorial. i apologize. this has been a lifelong remove andine, to charter a boat sail around that area. it is just gorgeous. tom: ok.

million users who pay a fee starting at $10 a month. apple is using -- apple is offering a free 10 month trial. tom: let's look at the dollar right now. we will do that with david woo of merrill lynch. at the end of the day, it is the comfort of knowing our dollar is their dollar. david woo has studied the ad and ebb and flow. at the end of the day, it overcomes all. that? david: the u.s. can get away with policies that nother country can. when the fed was doing qe for five years, other countries might have been brought under the crisis. but the u.s. was able to recover
6:54 am
from this. there is a bifurcation of the dollar. the dollar is doing well against eu currencies and commodity currencies. the problem is as china devalues, china slows. to the extent that it will lead the fed to hike more slowly, this is not good news against the euro. three ore is the yen, five years from now? david: if anything, the yen will be stronger. going into tomorrow, if the fed hikes rates, the yen will be stronger because the stock market goes down. tom: the differential between you at bank of america merrill is a and goldman sachs weaker yen through some form of abenomics. to the extent that the u.s. until now is willing to accept further yen weakness -- those days are coming to an end.
6:55 am
this is my point. you know, david will, that this is not solved by economists. manufacturers in detroit or by the state department, isn't it? david: absolutely. especially with donald trump and about japan taking jobs away from the u.s. tom: have you been advising mr. trump on economic policy? david: not yet. brendan: you talk about trump and rubio to some extent. it is a great pass time, to predict our own decline. does anything threaten, anywhere in the future, this exorbitant privilege? david: not really. in a very enviable position that nobody else is in right now. the question is, can the u.s. decouple from the rest of the world as the rest of the world slows?
6:56 am
the dollar and the renminbi remain the two strongest currencies in the world. the question is, how much longer does the u.s. finds a strong currency desirable? brendan: the currency war works better for us than anybody else. tom: until. to our viewers who do not understand reflation versus thattion, what is the trip turns us from a benevolent strong dollar into a struggle -- into a troubled strong dollar? renminbi will devalue. my prediction is that the bigger story in the next six months is acceleration in the renminbi devaluation. that will compete -- that will create competitive evaluation throughout the world. tom: david woo, thank you so

this car represents first for us . the first suv bentley has ever made. the first suv in the ultraluxury space. it combines all the features you expect from a bentley. handcrafted luxury on the interior and ultimate performance. matt: how do you market a product like this? polo matches and yacht races? mr. winkler: you create exposure at those sorts of events. it is essentially one-on-one marketing with the people you know have the affinity and can afford these products. matt: you will be making $5,000 for full production -- you'll be making 5000 at full production. we generally get about a third of worldwide production for the u.s. matt: that almost doubles your production. that really adds a lot of volume to sales. mr. winkler: bentley worldwide sales between 11000 and 12,000

8:30 am
here is what you should be paying attention to. up 3.5%. good morning. tom: good morning everyone. michael mckee. what do we have? michael: economic indicators provided by commonwealth financial network. letters go to the retail sales numbers. >> retail sales of his weaker than or cast rising 2.4% in august. economists at the looking for a 3.4% gain. july hire. excluding autos also less than forecast in august. july revised higher.
8:31 am
one more reportedly about. federal reserve bank of new york original manufacturing and empire state index weaker than forecasted -14.7. let's go back to new york. brandon: the retail sales control number is the one we watch every month. it is a more than forecast -- up more than forecast. the month of july was revised higher. retail sales -- the part that goes into gdp much stronger than had been forecasted overall. retail sales are a bit lower. american consumers still on the job, we salute you for your back-to-school shopping. tom: i agree. a movement in the two-year yield of 7.298. it makes a big deal. this is this conundrum of decent
8:32 am
american autonomy against everything else we see. the indonesian or brazil. michael: i am looking at the breakdown here. one of the reasons that the headline number held down, got prices fell during the month, the closing stores were up. general merchandise up. tom: we get a massive revision in the control group statistically. massive. michael: yes. it double plays in the month of july. a strong report in august. we should mention essentially the way retail sales work, we collect data all month that they get most of it in the first part which is why you gave your revisions because you have the second part of the month when you get the next report. a good number. looks like it will be a good number going into september as well. a lot of stuff. empire manufacturing number not so good. 14.7.
8:33 am
as we keep pointing out, it does not bear a little resemblance to the national manufacturing numbers. industrial production at 915. tom: the t-mobile phone line, scott brown with raymond james. does this amend what we will see in the thursday fed meeting? scott: probably not. the fed pays a lot of attention to economic information, not necessarily the hard economic data reports we get with the anecdotal information we get from around the country.we get a mix bag. the price drop for gas prices has been beneficial for consumers. the strong dollar has been a negative for u.s. exporters. we are mixed signs outside of auto production. they have been strong. we will get numbers later that we should see a mixed bag. tom: that is an important question. how do you weigh immediate
8:34 am
retail sales with quarterly industrial production cap utilization kind of statistics? i know they are monthly but it is taken as more of a gdp like number. which is more important to janet yellen? scott: this is the fed's dilemma. the economy is not booming across the board. there will always be weaker sectors and others and you have to balance that out. for the fed, they will be focusing on inflation pressures going forward. we don't see a lot of inflation pressures. the will probably not be a hurry to raise rates. the other big factor is the job market. it is great that people have jobs, but eventually you make it to a point where things tighten and you will see wage pressures which will pass through. we are still a long way from that. policy right now is extremely accommodative. even after the first few rate hikes, the policy will be very
8:35 am
accommodative. the fed not really looking to hit the brakes here. just beginning to start to take pedal.t off the gas emerging economies in global volatility pedal. is likely to lead them to delay this week. >> you are making the same point stanley fischer made where we go from altra accommodative to only supremely accommodative. when you look at these numbers, the fed mandate is the u.s. economy. this does not suggest the u.s. economy is in trouble, does it? scott: certainly not in any stretch of the imagination. we are nowhere near a recession right now. we are adding jobs at a very good clip. things might have slowed down the server you are still talking about 2.5 million jobs per year which is a strong pace. it is an unsustainable pace over
8:36 am
the long-term so the fed is looking at where the economy will be 12 to 18 months from now. they don't really have to hit the brakes. much dr.k you so brown. michael, would you please explain where the debate is of heardg -- versus what we which is that is nuts do not raise until there is a vector, until a measure trajectory is advised. michael: they feel inflation is -- we are in a deflationary period. in tells us inflation can excellently quickly. tom: if the empire number a big deal? michael: no. it is not a big deal. we have almost no change in futures after the retail sales report. there was an interesting comment that suspense is replaced trading. tom: i will go with that.
8:37 am
yeah. i want to show the bloomberg terminal. too.es are up >> it is time for a morning must-read from bloomberg views editorial board. basically challenging california to put its money where its mouth is. there is a simpler way to do it. impose a price on every ton of carbon released into the atmosphere and let the market handle the rest. something we were talking about earlier that we have a regulatory society here, but with a very simple way to do it which is introducing market. >> my question is whether there is a political will. there might be one in california.
8:38 am
let us say we expand the nation. in the geotechnical congress, nothing will happen, especially when you are labeled as the tax. brandon: the french have instituted a carbon tax but then they give everyone a rebate. it does not go into the general fund. you cannot call something a tax and get it passed in congress. this is the ina that what we end up with is more cumbersome regulations, which is the only option the obama administration has instead of a very simple straightforward market mechanism.any time you talk to an economist about this they say there is one answer to the problem, a carbon tax. because it is called a tax, it is like the economic and that they are not wanting to speak its name. randy: we are going to switch on over to alcohol. coming up, the whiskey wars. we look at the battle between bourbon, scott, and irish whiskey. this is "bloomberg surveillance"
8:39 am

8:42 am
dan: 2.5 million cases of high-end premium irish whiskey. but that is not the whole story. at 500hiskey has grown and 5%. -- 505%. you have been following this for two decades. every whiskey is a story. what is the story you are selling in america? >> we are the leading independent irish whiskey maker. we are within the category that has been a gateway for new consumers to get into. what we are trying to do is do something a little different. brednan: you are trying to say irish whiskey is more than jamison. jack: yes. it has dominated the last 20 years. like any category, people are looking for choice.
8:43 am
we are at the early choice of segmentation. people asking what else can irish whiskey be and that is wha will recommend. brednan: you are talking about a distillery that used to be the only independent distillery and island. there are now plans for close to 20 new distilleries. how does that change your work? jack: i think it is good. if people can produce different styles of whiskey that complement the big brands and give it that choice for consumers to discover something new. there are nine distilleries. they changed from four to nine since 2012. there are still -- there is still a lot of room to grow. i was living in hong kong for the past four years and was introduced to a few. how do you think those compared ? jack: i think they are a good
8:44 am
cross between scottish and irish. what is interesting is people more interested in what is in the bottle. they are open for trying whiskey from all over the world. randy: there is a bloomberg news article about how japan's single malt surpassed -- jack: we are trying our best. we launched our irish single moalt . we're trying to bring our flavor to be able to stand. brednan: why take a bottle of irish whiskey and added to your collection? jack: i think it is something that is an interesting specialty you can introduce to your friends. people's perception of irish whiskey has been more of that of landed and approachable. there are very unique flavors out there.

8:48 am
tom: good morning everyone. "bloomberg surveillance." we have an important interview coming up on lehman brothers on this anniversary. we will get to that any moment. "bloomberg surveillance" this morning is brought to you by invesco. your alternative questions can be sent in. we thank them for their support this morning. we look at a viewer quiet -- at a quiet screen. it was not like that right? michael: now it was not. everything central base have done since lehman brothers filed for bankruptcy, still struggling
8:49 am
to get some traction. and very strong case is made that it is time for the fed to raise rates. you suggest all the global debt that we have now in the wake of the lehman brothers and the great recession has merely pawned future growth. we have not deleveraged or clear the markets. >> absolutely. has hasst part is it created an almost parallel society where the financial but theve done well whole strategy from the federal reserve and other central bank ever to support 20% of the economy. they provided 90% of all credit and 100% of all political capital to these 20%. the problem with that is that the industry itself, the big
8:50 am
corporations create merely 15% of all jobs and 0% of all productivity. on the other side of the economy, 80% of the 15% of the credit, and 0% in terms of capital. those sectors are what create productivity and growth. reason we are in this dismal growth scenario is we sort of created a deficit on growth and we fill it up with debt. on the other side of the coin is the fact that the productivity since 2005 coinciding with lehman's bankruptcy has been almost half what it was prior to the lehman incident. tom: seeing where we are seven years on, and i don't tell that with a feeling deutsche bank may 20000 and 25,000 for the people.
8:51 am
where will the lehman brothers banking the five years from now? where do you perceive taking will be five yearswhere will ths banking on? steen: is a great question. i think we have a clear sense of where we are going in terms of the banking system. oo big to fail banks are now under restrictive capital requirement where we basically have gone from lehman having 30 or 40 times the leverage on the balance sheet to the big banks having a maximum of 10 times leverage. we have less recycling of capital from the surplus current account countries like the todle east and china benefiting the u.s. and european fixed income market. what we are seeing in the banking system is there are less funds to be recycled and less to be managed. the payment structure, the aret, the bread and butter under attack. so far, the very low prices of
8:52 am
money credit, and that access to borrowing zero and depositing at 25 basin points -- basis points has been helping the banks mitigate this. they need to go back to the 3-6-3 model. you take a deposit of three amended out as six and you get three. tom: the heart of the matter in that model is you have to do that by raising rates off the zero bound. know what is there that. steen: absolutely. i agree. michael: what we had this morning is a third of economists surveyed say the bank of japan will cut rates again or add another round of stimulus at the october meeting. they do nothing this month and the focus will be on the october meeting. the european central bank will add more stimulus ahead. you are arguing this is exactly the wrong thing to do. steen: yes because we know we
8:53 am
will result no change. that is stronger dollar, weaker commodity prices, with her exporting -- weaker exporting. let me go back to your own point. i think it is important for everyone to understand there is not just one equilibrium in terms of credit. there are several. my argument is if you raise interest rates by 100 or 150 basis points in one go, the credit market will clear better in terms of these abilities to allocate across the capital. why? not on thet is marginal cost in the productivity on investment. raising the cost of capital will make it more transparent. it will get the credit used to flow. tom:raising the cost of capitall i will agree with that
8:54 am
except we have clearly been proven seven years on politically impossible to do that. when you see the latest events, brazil imploding, a changing of the guard within conservative australia, all the ballet of china and europe. i will agree with that the only release valve seems to be the currency market. how do you perceive that will work out other than a euro back 2.82 and a superstrong dollar? steen: none of this will help what we are discussing because you clearly understand where we need to get going is the ability to have pastorates in terms of an economic environment. and a lot of what is going on in the world today is a mental state of alertness. we are constantly in an emergency status. crying will constantly slows the senses of the investors. would have to remember the expected return in equity, in fixing for the next five years mathematically is exactly zero.
8:55 am
that is why it will change. until now, we have excess return in an ability to leverage the meager return we had. now that the leverage of the world is coming down on the volatility of access and the market is increasing. at the same time, the central banks with the federal reserve is now starting to realize and even publicly acknowledging that the support for the economy for raising the a lower interest rate is negative and not positive. we are seeing a gradual change. i have we with that. -- i agree with that. let us assume that the euro goes to 80 or the dollar gets stronger, there is one thing that is a guarantee and that is that we have a global recession. michael: you're arguing volatility suggests we are running out of time. steen: absolutely. the volatility increases by a number of reasons in terms of the marketplace because the risk management is a very flawed tool
8:56 am
to deal with. also because the market capabilities with the banks, the banks on the smallest amount of corporate paper in terms of the balance sheet. there is an inability of people -- itnsact under an is making transactions are extensive. the volatilities we find at the end of the cycle is nothing to be feared. tom: the beginning of something new is the outcome seven years on from lehman. seven years forward what we saw in the 30's was consolidations within finance with fewer banks and fewer brokerages and fewer world-class business programs early in the morning on television and radio. michael: brendan: when he won -- michael: we need one. when he bloomberg obviously. tom: good. steen: i think the banking
8:57 am
system you have in the next 10 years is when we will recognize from going up. it is the 3-6-3 model. there will be more m&a shops. there will be more people driven a partnership with a butter own money into play. on the regulatory side, they are not going to be a freebie in terms of a ceo and not having to sign any papers which people have tried to do in a long time. this is all an improvement. we are deconstructing the supermarket into retail boutique like businesses where everyone whatoviding and giving they are marginally best dance that of having a supermarket that sells crabby stuff. michael: face for being with us this morning. 3-6-3 maybe with lower potential growth will be 2-4-2. all it is seven years on. let us start with that. michael: and we are nowhere,

9:04 am
and security threats with ukraine, russia, etc. really quite on that front right now, that it is a calm before the storm or is it not? the second united states secretary of homeland security is the cofounder and executive chairman of the risk management and security consulting company chertoff group and he joins us now, secretary, thank you. my question is -- is this the calm before the storm? is there of blacks on out there on the security side i could upset the global economy as we have seen over the past couple of years? secretary: actually, i would say there is no calm, and the storm is gathering force. i think what we are seeing in the ukraine is an evolution to what they described as the conflict which is an ongoing low-level intensity conflict that does not resolve itself but does not necessarily spike into something that is war. in the meantime, we see the
9:05 am
russians getting more engaged in syria, far from being helpful partners in resolving the situation. they are doubling down with and airly troops assets. that is going to exacerbate the refugee situation which is going to put more stress on europe. it will also create more problems in the region. i think the storm is gathering force and i am pretty pessimistic. tom: you are an incredibly important voice for refugees and i believe your mother was a ago.t attendant many years you know what it is like in your family knows what it is like to shop at the border and ask for entry into the united states of america, certainly back one or two generations. a few clues in wayne to americans this morning it there is a direct -- would you please explain to americans of this morning that there is a threat to seriously produce bringing in a few isis numbers -- is that legitimate concern for public officials?
9:06 am
it is a concern. i think we do have an obligation, along with the rest of the world, to deal with genuine refugees, people fleeing persecution and violence. not people looking for economic opportunity. we have to just open the doors without vetting the people coming in. the reality is we have a good job in keeping out operatives from other parts of the world that may want to commit terrorist acts and we want to admit more refugees but to do so in a way that continues to assure that we will not admit dangerous people. when i was secretary, we have instances where we had to bring refugees and but we major defect them carefully. tom: how do you do that? michael: in the midst of the chaos? tom: michael, what is the actual process that builds trust in america for the goodwill of bringing a refugees?
9:07 am
secretary: first, you have to start the process as early as possible and that means ideally you would do it in place where in the perimeter of syria who are now waiting for some kind of refuge. it means interviewing, using whatever databases are available to see if there are connections between people that were looking at and people who might be dangerous. some of it is just the field that experienced agents have when they talk to somebody about what their true intentions are. it is not a froufrou scheme, but it does mean you have to do in the violation rather than willy-nilly letting everybody in. then the emphasized that the best way to do this is literally in the region, to set up a process there. what you are dealing with now is really a disaster group which is presented with people who are now i think taylor and of having migrated and there really is no time to vet them and that means hers.ody except
9:08 am
the people who are paying smugglers suffer and the countries trying to evaluate is coming into not have adequate opportunity to do so, so we have got to move the process to an earlier stage in the journey that many of these refugees are taking. michael: it reminds you of the boat lift from cuba to the united states where we ended up with a whole lot of undesirable people in the country because we were not able to screen them in the beginning. secretary chertoff: that is partly an analogy, of course, the air force, before castro deliberately sent people from the jails -- michael: doing not think maybe the terrorist organizations are sending people in the crowds? secretary chertoff: it is certainly a risk. it is not hard to conceive that a terrorist group like isis or a similar group would see an opportunity in the flow of people to insert some operatives. in fact, there was a story in "the washington post" today about somebody who was one of the refugees in europe who was
9:09 am
talking about how he liked living under isis in syria, so that is a very real risk. a small minority, but we have to pay attention. tom: i know that wikipedia has the boat lift it at 124,000 entrances spread over seven months. a substantial number. michael: in the early 1980's. the europeans are already there, so is it too late now? obviously, they can move everything to the middle east again, but with already the people on the cotton, is it too late? secretary chertoff: they are facing a situation where they have tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people who have arrived, many of whom do not have a clear destination. au are beginning to see position of internal border controls and that is a sign of how fraud the situation has become in choosing and managing the flow. they are way late in getting ahead of this problem.
9:10 am
this is an issue that should have been dealt with like creating safe havens in syria and iraq and countries on the peripheral and by beginning process in there. now they are facing this issue on the back fence. with ushael turn off and we will come back to continue our discussion with the head of the church up group. wanted to talk about actual political solutions in syria which has percolated. to get about the gathering storm and see how he sees that playing out. i should mention, tom, we are starting to see a real bid to futures. they are starting to get some out to two with s&p 500 index features of five points. ♪
9:12 am
tom: good morning. we need a top headlines and here is rendon. pastan: consumers may look the turmoil. retail sales rose for the second month in a row and the increase was .204%, just below estimates and july's increase was upwards. meanwhile, manufacturing for second straight month reflects decline in orders and employment in factories in new york and southern connecticut and new jersey. they have struggled with the stronger dollar weaker demand overseas.

tom: good morning. michael mckee and tom keene. we welcome all of you as we had the economic data come out and yields are decidedly higher this morning. like a mckee, the two year yield .7419 is a at the cusp of the breakout to a new high. michael: people reacting positively to the retail sales report or figuring hawkish lee. productionial
9:19 am
numbers is not good, manufacturing down .5% and industrial capacity falls back. tom: i thought a conversation ertoff wasel chrtof riveting. michael: he was the second homeland security opposite and he is now chairman of the chertoff group and was -- i want to follow up by what do started telling us which was the gathering storm of their and you've been pessimistic as thele try to plan out coming months. how do you see something unfolding? what is the gathering storm and how does it manifest itself? secretary chertoff: i think it manifest in various ways. first of all, i think europe is under real stress, not just economiccaused by the issues with greece, but now the pressure of migrants which is actually creating a division within the european union. she also see the rise of political groups on the right and left that are more extreme
9:20 am
in their views. i think it will put a lot of pressure on the e.u. and they will need to do some soul-searching about how to reconfigure themselves in a world in which it looks like there is unprecedented pressure. i also think vladimir putin will notoit this because it is an accident, in my view, that he is taking steps in syria that will promote more migration. i think that is one area where we will see real tension. of course, in the region itself there is no prospect of an end to the conflict in syria and iraq in the new feature. we do need to get more involved in shaping the outcome. how do we get more involved in shaping the outcome? we don't really have a place in the refugee crisis and it seems that right now the russian confrontation is limited to europe. actually, wertoff: may face the russian
9:21 am
confrontation in syria. one of the things i think we should have done and can still do is create safe havens in syria where some of the population can reside with the relative degree of security without being victims of barrel bombs and other kinds of atrocities committed by kaiser side. the challenge there is you have to have an air cap and you have to put some more resources on the ground. the latest move by vladimir putin to put people into the theater, suggested he might be pushing back against that. i thought the sick taping, there was no way for hope of stability in the country and that will promote more migration and a darker outcome. tom: our security as a nation, we face immense challenges as our second and -- second head of homeland, are the challenges radically different now than what you faced for how we moved on to the same discussion as we had in those 2007, 2008 years? secretary chertoff: i think they

are somewhat different. -- of the last rings we are one of the last things a contest was to build a security architecture that reduces the risk of another massive 9/11 type attack. we are now moving to what i call ,he jihadists and 2.0 or 3.0 lone wolf attacks, more widely distributed small scale attacks. that is what you see isis and i now al qaeda trying to encourage that in the united states. those are not necessarily on the scale of 9/11, but they may be more frequent and they will put some of our local law enforcement. the other major change is the rise of cyber threats. they have intensified over the last several years and could begin to move from effective data to actually disrupting or destroying some of our critical infrastructure. michael: it would be remiss if i did not ask about china. he comes into the white house amid increasing tensions over cyber threats, cyber warfare.
9:23 am
the south china sea, how do you see china playing up from a security perspective? secretary chertoff: obviously, the cyber issue has been one that has been much talked about. we saw some major intrusions, one for government personal database and went into the health care company in i advised by folks who are knowledgeable that are probably attributable to china. it looks as if they are building a database of americans that they can use for the own intelligence purposes. at the same time, their economy is under stress and part of what they are doing is closing the door a little bit to u.s. investment there. the question is, how do we alance our desire to have china that can be a contributor to the world economy but also make sure that they play by the rules? i think the administration has talked about something that could be bible is beginning to use trade sanctions -- could be valuable as a to use trade sanctions that could benefit from stealing intellectual
9:24 am
property. sanctioning them for violating rules actually might have some impact. much more to talk about. we need to have you back soon. thank you so much, the former secretary of homeland security. mike, i had a list of 50 questions. michael: it is a big world. tom: it is a big world out there. michael: not to mention the gathering storm. tom: that is gloomy. that is really quite something. screen a more optimistic on the bloomberg terminal. and theyutures up 46 yields were higher. it is unambiguous on the side of economic data we got. higher yields. michael: a bit surprising given the weakness in industrial production. bloomberg analysis of retail wees is the last pop before see a decline, the tempest, they say, given the turmoil we have
9:25 am
9:28 am
9:29 am
it happened in the community -- served as a base for hungary declared a state of emergency in two counties near circular migrants toward him. soldiers could be deployed along the border. austria said they could shoot -- could soon run short of housing for refugees. the bmw spokesman for the company's ceo is ok after collapsing during a news conference. kruger-old harold fainted onstage at the frankfurt motor show. he said he had not been feeling well. your top stories. here's brendan greeley with another check. brendan: a look at what is going on as we wait for the next two days for janet yellen to do something. futures are up five points, not a whole lot of movement. look at yields. yields are up, possibly a good consumer sentiment. except as well. we are playing the waiting game. tom: good morning, everyone.
9:30 am
bloomberg's "surveillance." michael mckee and tom keene. we have the markets open for you. we go into the opening and futures are six and opening bell. brought to you by sei, today's competitive marketplace, requires asset managers to become more into transforming your business with the global platform and sei c.com/imagine. we will dive into brazil. we begin with tracy howell the way of bloomberg's market. absolutely stunning to see the about-face with the crisis. the eight back to stronger to 380 six.k in my right, tracy, a complete capitulation of the rousseff regime? tracy: that's one way to characterize it. we are seeing strength across
9:31 am
the board. a little bit of strength, mostly people to having backed fed interest rate hikes. tom: give us the backdrop. gabriel will jump in with the michael mckee in the second, give us the backdrop on how it falls in the united states. it does not affect janet yellen it?hina does, does tracy: i think that is fair to say but we know janet yellen is keeping a close eye on the u.s. dollar relative to a whole host of other currencies. i'm sure figures in there somewhere. tom: we have a wonderful guest of poodles of experience. she speaks eight languages. she is like walking was at the stone. michael: may break get it to do some ukrainian. dondeictorino tech -- bibloitecca? that's all i learned. michael: he wants to know what
9:32 am
the library is. , you say there is such a debt overhang? >> the most important thing is how the risk has shifted from the sovereign side as it used to be in the late 1990's, now to the corporate side. what has happened since the crisis as the developed world was at the leveraging, after the 2000, that was in emerging markets actually started levering up, it was really since 2008. now that we are at the peak of the credit cycle, how is that deleveraging going to take place? michael: and they're loaded with dollars. gabriella: exactly. most of it is local currency, but there has been an increase in external debt, so u.s. dollar denominated debt. as we see currencies depreciate meaningfully, how would these companies going to be able to service the u.s. dollar debt? it becomes a lover difficult for them to do so. tracy: a lot of that emerging market dollar denominated debt has also made its way into the u.s. bond in the disease -- indices. ways?n what
9:33 am
tracy: things like the berkeley high yield index. if you look at the percentage of emerging markets and those of disease, it is shot up over the past five or six years. a lot of people think that the u.s. high yield index from barclays, they think it has nothing do with e.m. but there are dollar-denominated lines. the ways you saw this was currency movement. of the london desk, future is that you see currency adjustment as the only outcome 4 a.m. -- as em? gabriella: that is the first step but we need to see emergingl reform from markets comes up currency depreciation is a necessary first step. you had gotten currencies way overvalued over the past few years to where it was not sustainable, not compatible with actual domestic fundamentals and now you are seeing those excesses unwind. certainalthy to a
9:34 am
extent for emerging markets but what you need to see right now is a lot of more meaningful medium-term changes. tom: somebody asked me last night, what is the adjacency affected the collapse of result? what does it -- of brazil? what does it mean for other nations? risk, forthe brazil quite some time, has been interpreted mostly about not only the collapse in domestic prices, a lot of it is idiosyncratic domestic concerns specific to brazil, so what is comforting is the fact that the market is pricing in a lot more risk for brazil compared to its latin american peers, which you think is justified to the extent that so much of the domestic issues in brazil is specific to that country and is not shared by the likes of chile, mexico, colombia, peru which are in better structural shape when it comes -- and like michael: not a lot of contagion?
9:35 am
gabriella: exactly. even since the downgrade last gappers so, if you look at spreads, market risk of potential default, brazil has already been trading at elevated levels for couple of years now all the rest of latin america is much below level meaning the market is understanding that they are in a different position. limited contagion risk. michael: how afraid surely be of emerging markets overhanging as janet yellen and company get together? tracy: i think the problem with the story is intended to creep into areas of the market that you would not necessarily expect . we talk about dollar denominated funds, corporate em has been attacking cheap dollars for years now to load up on debt and leverage, but there are other ways that story has manifested itself as well. in china, we have a lot of corporate to it wrote in dollars and then invest in local currency assets and it sort of is a giant carry trade.
9:36 am
the problem is the dollar strengthened and the em currencies get weaker and all these things start to get pushed out of the system. it is difficult to engage how pervasive this is. tom: i agree, but very quickly, if i look at currency movement as the solution for any given em country, let's speak of brazil, i know that helps domestic manufactures, etc., etc. but what we are searching for is that we hear from bill rhodes from carl weinberger or from that matter christine lagarde in measured order the workout, whether it is europe or brazil. do you see those institutions in place to come to the aid of brazil when real hits for or 4.20? f: i would say they don't need that necessary external help whether it is or imf or whatever. what it really means is progress when it comes on the domestic tont, so when it comes
9:37 am
actual fiscal austerity and fixing the budget, that is what we think brazil needs, that domestic institutional reform and progress. not necessarily -- i would say that sometimes we hear the world bank and imf say that maybe the fed should lay off raising rates or little bit longer. that is not necessarily going to help result. what will help brazil is the institutional reform on the domestic side, whether the fed hikes or not is irrelevant in that perspective. michael: that raises the question, tracy, the best thing for the site is to rip the mandate. we're talking to jacobson earlier and to start deleveraging and get it underway. it might be painful -- tom: and that is the question of the last 48 hours. michael: after lehman brothers, where are we? tracy: absolutely. there was a question about if ledfed is becoming a market agency.
9:38 am
i went to. your attention to a blogger came up with an interesting point this morning and in the last 20 years, the fed has never tied with al qaeda and the futures market to a 70% chance of the way type. the fed and futures market to a 70% chance of hike. tom: the market is not there. that's all there is to it. tracy: the fed has experience of 1994 with the raised rates unexpectedly and sparked a huge bond sale and they don't want to repeat that. tom: people like ken rochus are not there. they are certainly not calling for one and done. michael: you have the economists on wall street suggesting that we aren't there and half of them think it will happen. i'm not sure it is 90-94. how fast they would raise rates was part of that. gabriella, tracy, thank you
9:39 am
9:42 am
weaker after last night's big announcement. let's go to brendan greeley. are in the radio studio talking to gabriela santos a jpmorgan about the finance of brazil. result that will come up right now, we are going to go to juliet in sao paulo to talk about the politics of brazil. billions of dollars in cuts announced yesterday by joaquim levy in a press conference. julia, you are reading the morning papers, does rousseff's government have the strength to vy's reforms. julia: that is the biggest question. need to see how they will implement everything they announced. to be approved by congress and we're talking about a president that has a percent approval ratings, so a very, very fragile -- 8% approval
9:43 am
ratings, so a very, very fragile system and that is the big question. ramy: i have a question deeper into politics. after these proposals, and they go through the legislature, brazil opposition did not want the return of the banking transaction tax that happened in august and that is back on the table at 0.2% rate, will that survive and what else will survive? what do you think will not have the support? julia: that is the biggest question at this point. that was on the cover of every newspaper this morning. the leader of the lower house already said it is unlikely to go through. like you said, the government did circulate trying to revive that before the presented a budget deficit and it was met with so much rejection that they presented a budget with a $30 billion deficit. michael -- seem like theys were trying to do anything they could to get to some kind of primary budget surplus. tore are 7 billion in cuts
9:44 am
government wages, but then there was $20 billion in cuts to things that are incredibly important for development, sanitation, broadband rollout, why was it so hard to find cuts somewhere else that would not have affected development? in a tough spot right now because we are in such a deep recession. what they have been saying is they cannot really cut and this was a response s&p 500 which downgraded brazil to the lowest rate last week, so they have scrambled and had meetings all over the weekend to try and come up with something which the senate leader called better than nothing. [laughter] that's what they have at this point. brendan: is the legislators by theoo distracted carwash scandal to get anything done? been a bigas problem. a lot of big-name politicians are involved, both the leader of the senate and the lower house have been mentioned in the
9:45 am
probe, so that has eroded a lot of political support for rousseff and it is a distraction that keeps coming, every week something new, every day, we just do not know what will happen with that and how far it will go. the latest out of brazil. stay with bloomberg as we have account on to janet yellen's decision. that is at 2:00 p.m. on thursday and we will bring you insight and analysis on the fed all week . stay with bloomberg's "surveillance." ♪ ♪
9:48 am
tom: good morning. " on at's "surveillance bloomberg television, radio, and in new york city. lots to talk about, in particular in international relations. by llp, wrecks among the top grade forensic accounting firms in new york by the new york law journal for the fifth year in a row, visit mar x.com. we have been talking about the emerging markets of gabriela santos. global: she is a financial strategist for jpmorgan and we are talking about the impact of the fed on emerging markets and it was to be a case as you go back to john
9:49 am
conolly's old line about it is our dollar but your problem, if the fed moves, who blows up and to withstand the pressure? gabriela: we think the dollar is the fundamental transition mechanism of the fed raising rates to emerging markets. in the past, it has not always happened that the fed raises with the dollar, but it seems to be what we are seeing. we see risk on the corporate side, as we were talking about, so it is much more perhaps the companies that have local revenue and have the need to service all of that u.s. dollar external debt that they piled on over the past few years. we are more concerned on the company by company basis, especially as you get into the high-yield emerging-market companies that may be finding it hard to service debt but it has shifted to the sovereign side to the corporate side. not 1997, 1998s but for individual companies a good? cabriolet: exactly and the question is how systemic are those companies to the
9:50 am
particular local economies? tom: i don't want to catch you blind come up when you see intonation and turkish lira just every day unlawful, is that discrete to those countries or does it have systemic effects? cabriolet: we are more concerned about the em countries that have piled on a lot of private credit and those tend to be a lot of emerging asian countries comes of indonesia is one of them but also malaysia, thailand, korea, taiwan. tom: korea you would put in that group? gabriela: korea as well. you have the percentage credit of gdp china, surprisingly. it is a lot of emerging asia which concerns us in terms of private credit buildup. aboutl: to even talk africa in this conversation on debate so far behind it will not matter? gabriela: we talk about south africa and south africa does tend to be considered one of the more vulnerable emerging countries.
9:51 am
in has developed quite a large current account deficit, so it does need a lot of that point in float to continuing finance and their growth. south africa does factor in quite prominently. tom: thank you so much for joining today. i've got good news and bad news. he is out of is the hospital and the bad news is he had the strength to show up today. we would usually start with important sec matters and jeb bush is next plan in that, but arthur, i do think it is finally important to go back to november 19, 1978 which is when the quarterback named joe pulled off what we observed sunday with the new york football giants. explain to our global audience how unique that opening game was for the giants. arthur: the giant bonehead aired on the part of the coach and quarterback and it was
9:52 am
absolutely incredibly where with the clock running out. if eli manning had merely sat eat up theprayer to clock, the giants would have won. tom: you take it back to a dirty a perspective, back to joke a sergeant. arthur: joe will rest in the mind giant followers forever. do this job to the who and he fumbled to larry scored a touchdown in the giants lost. forget it. that is history. today, it is eli manning the dense. michael: that is the great thing about a team that has been around forever, tradition. of tradition in
9:53 am
time, but seven years, arthur, since lehman brothers collapsed and set us on this path we're talking about now. do you think it was a mistake to let them go? arthur: yes. i do think it was with the perspective of seven years forward. unfortunately, we do not have that perspective at the time of the incident. would that have avoided the collapse that we suffered? i don't think so. i think that was coming anyway. it may not have happened the day after lehman brothers, but it would have happened. of what hasterms happened since then, we talked with steve j consent of sack so bank earlier and he makes the point that we did not get enough deleveraging of the great recession. the central banks intervened too
9:54 am
much to prop up economies and that we are going to pay for it now and one reason we cannot get growth. arthur: i don't think so. i think at that point in time, decisions were made on a moment by moment basis. and that action was taken to avoid the catastrophic meltdown which we did avoid. whether excesses, probably. did they did the right thing? , think, god, we had people in the position of taking risk at that point. the secretary of the treasury, of course, in that regard. tom: only to be clear that this was not on your watch, back in 2004, simon johnson writing this up nicely, the sec allowed companies to take on more upon lehman brothers on the leverage that did them in. seven years on, arthur levitt, is the suitable solution less leverage -- is the simple
9:55 am
solution less leverage? in the number of critics in washington and around the nation, is just too much leverage for people who always gets caught on the wrong side of the train? arthur: i don't think so. i think it depends upon a particular point in time and ability to adjust leverage. too much leverage at one point in time clearly is the case and at another, it might be too little leverage, so there is no formula that you can answer to how much leverage. i think leverage and to do away with all leverage would be an economic catastrophe and a mistake. michael: let me ask about that just a point tracy was making about what larry summers said today about how the fed has always guided the markets. guided the futures market to at least the 70% certainty that we will have a great move. in this case, there is not that built in. our markets that vulnerable that
9:56 am
onthe fed should move thursday, we are going to see any kind of violent reaction? arthur: i don't think so. i think this has been discounted and discounted and discounted. with a be a momentary reaction? probably, but i think in terms of looking for a two day or a five day period of time, this will be a non-event. how many times can you predict a rate rise and not have it resonate? some momentary action, but in terms of long-term implications, i would completely discount that. left,e have 10 seconds falcons. [laughter] the giants have to regain their start stride. all we are getting e-mails
9:57 am
over the world about the giants. arthur levitt, thank you so much. and formerce" chairman of the securities, and giant chairman. we have a lot of fun. on brady and television worldwide, we love to bust arthur's chops. it is a lot of fun. mike mckee never gets busting chops. michael: he would never do that. what an interesting show it has been today. we say thank you to our guests. it was really quite interesting and carol on bloomberg radio will move things forward. i know on bloomberg television coming up asng" well. the dow jones up 54 points and 23 .52. the 10 year yield is higher yields, the theme this 1, 2 .21%
