tv   Charlie Rose  Bloomberg  January 26, 2017 10:00pm-11:01pm EST

10:00 pm
>> from our studios in new york city, this is "charlie rose." >> we begin this evening with our continuing look at president trump's first week in office. the president signed an executive order early this morning to begin construction of a border wall with mexico. present is part of the signature campaign promise to fight illegal immigration. directives ats the department of homeland security. >> we're in the mind of a crisis border.outhern the unprecedented surge of illegal migrants from central america is harming both mexico and the united states and i believe the steps we will take,
10:01 pm
starting right now, will improve the safety in both of our countries. it's going to be very good for mexico. a nation without borders is not a nation. today, the united states of america gets its borders,of gets back its borders. is expected tot meet with mexican president enrique peña nieto next week at the white house. joining me now from washington, the new yor new york costas of thecontestant washington post. thissize it up for us, week the president seems to be determined to fulfill his promises. he said he was gonna build a wall. he initiated it now. what's the difference between the initiation and the beginning of the wall being built, having well as mexico
10:02 pm
paying for it? >> good to join you, charlie. what we're seeing this week, especially with regard to is the culmination of action in terms of what the insident was talking about his inaugural address. this hard-line populism that he articulated has now been put into policy, through these orders, working alongside senator jeff sessions, the controversial aide at his side. they've crafted these executive orders because they want to get started quickly. in particular, on the wall. they're using current federal to themthat's available through executive authority to begin the construction project. starting tohey're have talks with mexico, a government that remains very the idea of funding in i part of this wall. but -- funding any part of this wall. all part of trump's ambition to get started on his immigration policies now, before congress gets cold feet and
10:03 pm
before too many things come his way. >> he is evidently determined to get a whole lot accomplished early, across the boards. is.e certainly this is somewhat different for a republican president. week at the capitol all and many republican lawmakers in both the house and senate are privately and publicly telling don't really like that trump is using all this executive authority. the criticisms, the main one, they made of president obama. but they know that trump, as someone who is so outside of washington, is working with congress, going to be at the retreat in philadelphia on thursday with congressional republicans. really operating as a loner inside of this white house, working with his staff to sure his campaign promises are fulfilled. and they're not necessarily all mainstream, conservative ideas. they're trump proposals. >> is it steve bannon that has him, do influence with you think?
10:04 pm
>> i see it not just as bannon this breitbart, populist-nationalistic orbit around trump. his chiefr, speechwriter, steve bannon, jeff sessions, rick dearborn, the staff, who is a longtime chief of staff to sessions, these are people who long on the fringes of republican politics. now they have power. having power, they don't want to lose it, and they want to move on things that they know make and people in their party many democrats uncomfortable. >> julie, your assessment of what's happened in these three days of the trump presidency this week? >> well, what we've seen is a aal activist as robert said, real activist approach to really putting in place unilaterally key campaign promises. what we saw with the border executive order, both of them was that donald trump is going to try to use all of his hisority and everything at disposal both to appear to be carrying out those promises in a and to try toy
10:05 pm
prod congress to follow him. mr. of the things -- many of the called for in his orders today, the building of the wall, the hiring of more and moreents immigration enforcement officials, will take congress action and funding. he's doing is laying out a predicate, as he did with the health care executive order, that first evening right after he was sworn in, to say this is turning this i am government. this is the direction i want policy to go. get some ofd we can this done. what's not clear is whether he can actually follow through and of these things accomplished. the border wall will be very costly. we're already hearing that the of mexico may cancel his trip to come and visit the white house and talk to donald trump about this, in the coming weeks, because of the anger that this proposal has inspired. so i think what we see from trump is a real archivist sort of -- activist sort of posture. we'll just have to see. >> tonight as we speak, who is likely supreme court nominee?
10:06 pm
>> i think judge gorsuch is one the main contenders. same with hardiman, coming out western pennsylvania. you have pryor, who is close with senator sessions. three.rt of the main andar it's really gorsuch gordonman, whgordon -- and hard. andou keep saying, robert, other people do, senator sessions has real power here, doesn't he? >> oh, he does. he is someone -- i think back, 2015, when i was in mobile, alabama, with then-candidate trump. and sessions came onto the plane. i was there. he puts on that white baseball cap. he found someone who could sell an ideology that really no one else in the party sessions was selling, this populism, nationalism, trade,l identity, protectionism, very tough borders. no one else was really talking these things except the
10:07 pm
breitbart website, jeff sessions and a few other conservative outlets. trump comes in with this whirlwind of celebrity, and embraces the sessions ideology and is able to bring it to power. now, sessions, in power, is able to help trump turn those policy. instincts into >> there really is a sense, he hasthat he believes caught a wave, which is the populist which is the revolution around the world, and that he is simply the expression in america. >> absolutely. we heard him in his inauguration world,, people of the talking about this movement that they've built and that he's just the messenger and the power is to the people. he can talk about the message of populist movement. put out all these executive orders for unilateral action. is what we have yet to see whether he's going to be able to build a coalition to get these things done. do that with mitch
10:08 pm
mcconnell and paul ryan. and one of the things that i think this supreme court fight coming up will allow him to do is sort of establish some upthose channels and team with capitol hill for getting a big priority done. effectively,that then i think that will bode well for some of the policy agenda to execute.s but right now, this white house is at its very sort of beginning stages. they don't have much of a coalitions operation. much of a even have communications operation beyond the press secretary and key staff. of work to do lot to put some of that in motion. >> the washington post had a fascinating piece, i think it yesterday, robert, in which you got a real inside look at hisit is, both trump with pen circling articles in the papers that he was interested in wanted ad action on or response to. of how -- hisense operandi in the white
10:09 pm
house. >> well, as much as we've discussed before, trump sees disruption and tweets as power, as a way of rattling washington. fors creating challenges himself in this town, with his m.o. we look at the new controversy voter fraud, alleged voter fraud that trump is talking tweets. a series of he mentioned this at a congressional meeting at the white house on monday night. issues beyondbout the policies of health care and immigration and taxes. that's really alarmed privately some lawmakers i've spoken with. why trump can't get more focus in his agenda, in this first week. the things the washington post has been reporting, my colleagues have that he'sm.o., is waking up very early every day, getting all the printouts about and his staff, printed up for him. he's marking them with pen, in a sharpie marker, and he's really watching television every hour, minute, keeping his antenna up.
10:10 pm
his aides tell me that's part of successful. he's not really turning a blind eye to the media. he knows he needs to live in the way he operates. but it's putting a lot on his plate. it's taking up a lot of his time, these executive orders, monitoring the media, giving these speeches. we still see him adjusting to the office. >> back in a moment. stay with us. ♪ >> we begin with this today. the dow jones industrial soared for the first time in history. wednesday afternoon, the s&p 500 also reached record highs. stock market has surged since president trump's victory in anticipation of a more business-friendly administration. president trump's pro-growth policies are giving wall street further cause for optimism, as he promises to roll regulations, cut taxes and invest in infrastructure. joining me now, the vice of multiasset
10:11 pm
investing. and a senior market editor at bloomberg. of them.ed to have all byron, what's going on? >> well, what's going on is that investors are taking trump at his word. they believe that he is going to improve the economy. bumping alongs since the recovery began in 2009. at less than a 2% growth rate. he promises something considerably more than that. i think the program that you outlined can deliver something 3% growth. and where i went to school, 3% 2%.0% more than >> indeed it is. [laughter] >> and reach it by when, for the 2017? >> well, most people think it will start to kick in in 2017 but you'll really feel it in 2018. an my view is trump is impatient guy. and he's gonna press to get these changes done earlier
10:12 pm
later.than >> and will be successful? >> i think they will be effective. i think there's some negatives associated with them that we can about. one is it's gonna take a lot 3%e workers to produce 4.7%h, and we already have unemployment rate. the tax cuts are going to reduce government than theaster additional income will -- and it the tax revenue. >> michael? >> i think that's exactly right. i mean, i think obviously trump a huge wish list of items that he wanted to do. reacted veryt positively after the election, of a lot ofsurprise people. i think people thought there would be a lot more volatility, just because there's so much uncertainty surrounding trump. he's very unpredictable on
10:13 pm
purpose. of these guys believe in free trade, you know. i assume trump does too, or he does.e he doesn't belief that the trade -- believe that the trade fair.ion is >> it's interesting that the list of things he started off with, very equity-friendly, obviously, building the pipelines. not only that, saying we're going to use american materials. you know, and even building the wall is very bullish for commodity producers. ultimately, i think the big question to get back to byron's how the bond market reacts. bond yields haven't broken up to outside, like they started to do immediately after the election. goinglear that trump is to push for a bigger deficit in the u.s. thehat, coupled with inflation that's going to be caused by these policies, is onng to cause upper pressure interest rates. >> is that going against republican orthodoxy? >> absolutely. and, you know -- so while there is sort of this optimism, you know, you keep seeing the term
10:14 pm
animal spirits attached to it, meaning sort of a big opt -- a certainmism that amount of his wish list will get accomplished. is,the big question to me march we'll be looking at the debt ceiling again and will these deficit hawks in congress, who pushed so hard in expanding debt ceiling in the past, will they sort of fall in line willd trump on this, or there be a little friction? that to me is really the next litmus test. remember that we ofe had almost a decade incredible central bank policy. it's almost as if we've reality. that very >> the fed has kept interest rates low. ofalso pumped all sorts money and other stimulus into the economy. bernanke wase berng pleaseg with congress,
10:15 pm
spend more. >> the numbers, primarily with infrastructure or what else? withimarily infrastructure. it will be interesting to see military spending as well, whether he thinks a jet fighter list ite whatever price is, but military spending is obviously the second big part of that. >> the balance sheet of the reserve, bank of england, european central bank, bank of japan, if you combine balance sheets, they were $3 trillion in 2008. they're $13 trillion. been propelled by monetary expansion. now at least in the don't have that expansion. i don't think the federal sheet will bee shrunk but i don't think it's going to expand. thee're not going to have monetary portion. we've got to have the push for earnings. interest rates going the wrong way. >> explain that, just because
10:16 pm
everybody doesn't work at blackstone. explain how that means, in terms comes a push for earnings about, because a policy is in effect, and what the consequences of an increase in are across the body. >> well, you know, earnings have trapped between 115 and 120 poor's 500 for & the past three years. now they're expected to go up to 120 to 125. but there's been very little earnings improvement over the years.w under trump's program, if he dismantles regulation, earnings could go to 130. at 20rket could sell times that. that's 2600 on the s&p 500. a 10% move from here. >> to me, charlie, there's still a very important constituency that has to be convinced that all this is for real. directors, boards of c.e.o.'s of companies around the
10:17 pm
country, for the last five, eight years they've been using the money they've taken in, given back stock, dividends. >> and go out and hire new people? not.ey did do they say, we want to go for it? money in waysnd that we weren't comfortable before, because there's an wanttunity that we don't to miss? and so far, they haven't really gone forth. really wrong?y operating rates are 77%. there's plenty of slack capacity the system. you don't have to go out and build a new plant. >> well, then you may not have effects that trump wants. >> right. obviously to get back to the buybacks and dividends, which very much help the stock market. that was fueled by these ultra low interest rates. to me, he hasn't even started i think isut what the most bullish aspect of his corporatewhich is the tax cuts and the possible repatriation of overseas
10:18 pm
earnings. u.s. -- >> a couple trillion? >> i don't know. of blls billions, a couple trillion. >> three trillion. >> three trillion? >> of money that corporations have overseas and have not back because of the taxation rate? >> right. >> all of that would come back, they invest overseas too, so some of it is going to be used over there. mind, you know, they're not bringing it back for free. they will pay some taxes to the government. now, 35, 38? >> 35. >> they're talking -- >> nobody pays that. >> they pay around 27. >> so that right there, that's an instant adrenaline injection to the stock market. how i don't quite get is much is the stock market discounting that as being a done deal. i mean, i think that's the easiest thing for trump to get through congress. >> corporate income? >> well, the repatriation, having a one-time holiday.
10:19 pm
>> i don't think that's a big push. i think the big drivers of the market are lower corporate taxes, on income, not on the repatriation. and the dismantling of regulation. regulation has cost companies an amount. and it's hampered their activities. pluses. are the big he's got to get those through and i think he will. >> he's going to have paul ryan's support on that, for sure. >> well, paul ryan will support him, but paul ryan is the hawk.t he wants whatever program trump belements, he wants to revenue neutral. and, you know, you cut taxes on individuals, you're gonna have to find other ways to generate revenue. to have a balanced budget. >> what does that have to do regulations? >> well, regulation is costing companies money. you know, if they make more
10:20 pm
they'll pay more taxes. >> can i paint a somewhat more bearish case? which is the c.e.o.'s i've met in the last few weeks, they're excited, but all the factors that you've been talking about, there's a creeping fear that one sort of rule by fiat, more about style than anything how they doaffect their business. but beyond that, the substantive issue, charlie, of reduction of trade. border adjustability. if you want to get really that., we can go into let's not do that. basically it's a way of putting a tariff on goods that come in the u.s. >> and produce a trade war, a product of that. mean, richard is so eloquent about that. you could have problems in mexico. are the people who are buying u.s. products? people in mexico. energy, natural gas, oil to mexico. there's all sorts of things we haven't even begun to explore if we really break out into a reduction of the free trade
10:21 pm
regime. >> and profit margins on u.s. companies if they're here rather than there in and we have europe with its own problems. that.exit is a part of we have a populist wave sweeping over the world. and you may see some elections go the wrong way. >> germany, italy. >> france. >> and so that makes europe, which is an important customer card -- a wild >> important customer of china's too, isn't it? >> yes. the whole post war dynamic, it's almost like we'll give you a rebate. preferred trading slack onwe'll cut you nato. explicitnever the thing. what trump's inauguration speech backis, yes, all deals are on the table. >> america first. >> america first. >> thank you. thank you. we'll be right back. stay with us.
