murphy and i want to start off this week with a story in politics. you have this map that looks at europe and the ground that is gained by the populist radical right. megan: we tried to dissect the myth from the reality of the strength of the far right in developed democracies. there's a feeling that 2017 has been lost in the u.s.. it be back far right leader. and a disparate coalition of the agendas across far right parties. they have stitched together support that is common in the issues that draw them, whether it's immigration, law and order. but they are different in how they act in their separate parts of europe.

but we have sound the support is the hyatt's it has been -- highest it has been in 30 years. julia: there is so much optimism in europe right now and that election felt like a watershed as far as populism in europe is concerned. what you have dig down in details is that there is still a lot of support for the national front. we saw it with the amd in germany. shocking results for these parties, even if they are not necessarily in power. the growth behind them is huge. juliette: -- megan: it is hard for people who come from a bipartisan system in the u.s. or the u.k.. how much proportional representation really shifts the dynamic? let's take offshore. this is a leader who wins the outright vote in austria but the

challenge was with the green, not the liberal. that is a pattern we see frequently across europe. in poland, issues are on law and order cracking down on immigration. then you go to northern europe where it is explication of the welfare system. perception immigrants have come in and changed the fabrics. what these are news together with -- knitted together with is the -- what is underneath that is the changing economics of the country and how we see rage -- wage is still strong across western europe. they're not seeing the same type of opportunity and education and jobs. that leads to the feeling that the society, the fabric of it is starting to disintegrate. julia: let's move onto the cover story. i'm proud we have thrown a spotlight on what rico.

this time -- put a rico. perhaps a lack of results and how it is more than meeting the challenge. megan: we are proud of this story, one of our marquee stories, really trying to get people to understand the human toll and challenge of rebuilding puerto rico. who have had this devastation, the lack of infrastructure, the lack of coordinated government response, even days after the hurricane, we try to focus on all those people who try to fight what they believe is their puerto rico and their future. it's a different way of telling the story, we are proud of it. hopefully we will educate a bold i was going on in the ground. carol: we have more going on from monte real. >> when you go to put a rico , it is arto rico now situation where it threatens to what theyyou with

need in the desperation you will find. i think before that really sets in, you are confronted with inspiration, you see all the stories of people who are rebuilding their lives and livelihoods. mix of theyurious see the need that they have three months later, still 40% of the energy grid is off-line. you see people who are coming up with innovative ways to response to this disaster and really pick their selves up. >> many acts of kindness. there are still a lack of power, still a lack of running water, still a lack of places for people to live. -- theyll have a lot of still have a off a lot to do in terms of rebuilding puerto rico. >> it goes beyond the immediate needs. puerto rico is different from

houston and florida where the other hurricanes hit hard. it was financially isolated somewhat brief or. you had an island that had serious economic troubles. this underscores them. it 10 years before the storm had 10 straight years of economic recession. >> puerto rico had taken steps to attract others to come in. you talk about the gringo transplants. these are stories in the financial sector, and they have been doing a lot in the private industry to help puerto rico get back on its feet. talk about those gringo transplants. rico tried torto make the island into a tax haven, especially in hedge funds and investment fund managers to attract capital, to encourage them to move to the island by giving them tax breaks.

essentially they would pay no taxes on interest, aunt -- interest, on capital gains. a lot of people did take puerto rico up on that. some investors came to the island and as part of that deal, you have to live on the island. you have to stay 183 days of the year in puerto rico. you have this influx of people from the financial sector coming to puerto rico. i would go to the convention center. in addition to the people from , occasionallyema you would see some people from the private sector where investors had moved to puerto rico and joined the relief effort. there is a group called the act

22 society. that is named after those laws encouraged to attract investors to the island. they formed a social services group there. and actually raised money try to augment the efforts of the federal government in bringing aid to people. carol: later in the program, a chef spent thanksgiving feeding thousands of people in puerto rico. julia: canada's oil capital. carol: iran may be pleased with president trump to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. julia: this is bloomberg businessweek. ♪

♪ carol: welcome back to bloomberg businessweek, i'm carol massar. julia: i'm julia chatterley. you can find us on bloomberg.com. kathleen: and our mobile app. president trump turned over decades of foreign policy by recognizing jerusalem as an -- as israel's capital. julia: the investment might have played directly into the hands of the country donald trump is trying to contain. carol: here is editor matthew philips. >> we wanted to take these moves and put it in the context of a bigger power struggle between the iranians and the saudi's for the dominance over the middle

east. that is your polar right now. so if you look at how the alliances have shaped up the last couple years, you have the saudi's on the same side as they have been on for years and they have projected the israelis to. on the other side, you have the iranians and the russians and you can read a lot of this through syria. if the message is, if you align yourself with the americans, they will give the israelis the whole game right off the back. this plays into the message in the long game the iranians have an playing as it relates to palestine. we are the true guardians of the best issues of the palestinians. not those who are aligned with the americans. julia: the united states take this stance and the two prior presidents tossed this move to shift the u.s. embassy as far as israel is concerned. it discredits them surely as a neutral mediator in the region. guest: a lot of people are going to say, this completely stops

whatever hopes we had at a piece process and it raises questions about what game jared kushner is playing. the prince and saudi, that has been the lens as to see a piece process. it's clear the saudi's are not keen on this. what we are not understanding is what kind of messaging the trump administration gave the saudi's because we know tillerson and mattis were not on board with this. what kind of messaging where the saudi's --? i can't say that. it does suggest this was a decision they were not keen on. the saudi's, while the have not made official calls for violence or protest, there is a lot of outrage in their press, saying, what are you doing? this gives the whole game to iran? donald trump has explicitly said he wants to antagonize the middle east.

carol: they get aggressive with it. guest: absolutely. we should stop taking american and israeli goods into saudi. julia: talk about the pushback we have seen and the violence we have seen. when you look at groups like those in the region, you look at the financial backing we know exists as far as iran is concerned, it very much ties into the suggestion of the greater leverage for iran, which is what you were alluding to at the beginning. guest: in the early days, there was a call for days of rage. in the first 48 hours or so, the response was relatively muted. we saw a lot of protests in beirut and the west bank and around ramallah in particular. but when you look at all of the middle east, a lot of the protests have been very -- fairly muted.

you are not seeing anything in jordan. you are seeing places where iran has the highest influence. such as beirut and hezbollah. that's were relieved with this. it's interesting to see the difference in how the arab world is responding to this and how iranians are responding to this through their proxies, has below and hamas. julia: in the economic section, talk to people in calgary and they will to canada's oil capital is a shadow of its former self. carol: blame the low crude oil prices. julia: here is christina lindblad. guest: is about 30% now and they know it's a problem and the have been trying to deal with this for years that it certainly has put impotence behind the governance efforts to do something about it. julia: give us a sense of what happened because we know the big oil players decided to retrench and prices will state lower for longer. talked about the impact in the

economy and the unappointed levels, the drop in income levels as well. it changes the economy dramatically. guest: at one point, unemployment surged as high as 9%, it's down to 7.3% now, but still one percentage point above the average. if you look at median incomes, which has been quite high, because it pays good salaries, there was a more than 40 dozen dollars drop between 2014 and 2015. -- $14,000 drop between 2014 and 2015. people get used to doing less with fewer people. even though prices are now, at one point they touched 30, now they are at 60, we are not seeing the same jobs coming back to energy every -- energy. carol: is also causing a city

like calgary, they are figuring out how to retool the city. they are making some success and progress. guest: i think they've attracted some names and also what they are doing is they are looking at sectors with ara have a foothold rather than trying to create industries from scratch. they are going after businesses there. amazon opened up a fulfillment center there so that's 750 jobs. now they are competing. they are one of the many cities competing for the amazon headquarters. they have been creative about it. they plastered in seattle this building where this that are ad says, we would fight a bear for you. there is also an airline that is in this space called westjet and they want to start a low-cost carrier and several canadian cities bid for that project and calgary ended up getting it. julia: talk to us about the mayor because he has been in power since 2010 and he's been

promoting diversification in established businesses, whether the distance or transportation, looking for the other strengths calgary has here. guest: he said when he was a student in college, he was sort of watching the duffer's vacation efforts, not knowing one day he would be the guy trying to push this. and he wants -- he talked about, we need shock absorbers. he said, it's not like we want to move the whole industry there or energy industry out of calgary, but we need to diversify sources come more engine firing, let's say. julia: determining how much bitcoin north korea may have and what it lends to do with it. carol: plus the legal showdown over getting high in harvard square. julia: this is bloomberg businessweek. ♪

created in a version of word that is later than yours so you have to enable the content area's you click enable the content and you get to be the cfo and manage the accounting .and work on the trading strategy and it is awesome company. like a tech company. cool young people with foosball and ping-pong. carol: i want this job. guest: but what you have done by opening this fake job description is in fact your computer with malware that is being run by north korea. carol: we know that for a fact? guest: this is according to secure works. they have a swat team, like cybersecurity researchers to look at the latest threat and they have been tracking north korea's interest in bitcoin for a while. carol: let's talk about for a while. this goes back to various viruses and someone. tell us about what they have found out in terms of north

korean hackers specifically. guest: they first saw north korean is just in bitcoin back in 2013 when they were able to track -- this was basically a failure insecurity on north korean hackers parts. they were able to see hackers were going into underground forums, like bitcoin forums online, to do research. to sort of understand what is bitcoin. and to understand how it might be useful. because for a country like north korea, which has been -- for a very long time and trying to make money and get around those sanctions, it is an interesting tool. carol: raising my hand for those folks on radio. how north korea limits its access to the internet. who is getting that access? don't they? guest: yes, they do. carol: what is that going?

guest: there are indications that they have hacking teams overseas. they have hacking teams -- this is according to other research from a different set of security firm called recorded feature. they got this trope of data that showed them not only the -- who were able to access it from north korea, like political elite, the top echelon of society, but it also showed indicators that they have teams of people in countries overseas who would be able to also do this kind of work on bitcoin. carol: in the business section across the united states, legal marijuana entrepreneurs are facing pushback from neighbors. julia: jenny kaplan reports. >> healthy farms is a medical marijuana dispensary in as a chooses. and they currently have a dispensary opened in georgetown,

massachusetts and they are planning to open a second dispensary in harvard square in cambridge. carol: and everybody's ok with it, right? >> the state of massachusetts voted to legalize recreational marijuana last november. so by all accounts, people are all for it. this is specifically a medical one. different municipalities can decide whether they want cannabis businesses active in the town and cambridge voted that they were ok with it. and the city council voted in favor of the location. carol: sounds like a lovely name for a company, but it is a living to not all that -- alluding to not all the neighbors are feeling healthy

about this and have a have a lawsuit talk to us about that. jenny: correct. one neighbor in particular, he is the controlling partner of four different buildings in harvard square. he is suing healthy farms and 18 other plaintiffs, saying they are taking part in a racketeering operation because they are all coming together in order to create a situation in which they can sell marijuana, which is a federally illegal drug. he is suing under rico, a racketeering law. you consume three -- you can sue three times what it is worth. carol: when we think of rico, it is usually used against organized mobs and that's when we see this lot put into use. this is a very different way of implementing it. julia: and expensive. carol: and expensive. jenny: this is the fourth time rico has been used against the cannabis does this. the reason it was founded was to

go after organized crime bosses. people who don't necessarily get their hands dirty, but are part of the whole process of getting a crime done. so people are using this because they are not only going after the dispensary owner or the person running the actual operation, they are going after the ancillary businesses that make it possible. that means going after the banks if a cannabis companies can get a bank account. they are going after the banks, they are going after whoever owns the land or mortgage. they are going after any consultants on the project. and in addition, in order to make this come up to make their argument this is racketeering, they are actually even complaining against people as high as the attorney general of massachusetts, saying she is violating the constitution in that the constitution says that federal law trumps state law and they are trying to say it is ok to sell a product that is legal under federal regulation. julia: the electric truck that will probably be -- to the

♪ julia: i'm julia chatterley. carol: i'm carol massar. insuring against movie stars acting badly. julia: elon musk gets big truck come position. carol: a guide on how to give back this holiday season. julia: all that still ahead on bloomberg businessweek. ♪ julia: we are back with megan murphy and we are in the technology section. one of my favorites this week,

elon musk has a challenger. megan: he does have a challenger moving into the big rigs market. here in the u.s.. julia: he says that with such enthusiasm. megan: i always wanted to be a trucker growing up. there is a tremendous amount of attention in the market. tesla rolls out there electric trucks and to much fanfare. just down the road, there is a young guy named dakota who has a prototype of the et one, his startup in this as well. he is so funding it. it's -- self funding it. they admit less, they are cleaner. they will be cheaper. that's the interest that so many fleets are looking at. they are also coupled with limitations. et1 only has a 30 mile radius.

there are challenges, but every time we underestimated elon, he exceeded expectations with so much money and interest. it is interesting to see arrival close to home who has high hopes to compete. carol: it's interesting he comes out of a family business and a vineyard. megan: it's interesting. he's a guy who has come up through a different track, but all those -- always the business route. this is the kind of space where he's arty build a prototype. it is being driven around. particular in the trucking space, how high the job sector attracting -- trucking is. the disruptive force of electric vehicles, as well as potentially driverless vehicles, is immense. but the investment that proves

you have street credit to do this is immense. julia: talk about his background. if we look at what he was doing at the vineyard, he converted the diesel trucks and they had to working on vegetable oil. this guy has an interesting knowledge of engines, as well. megan: he's only 25 and he spends his summers growing up, boxing up military equipment and doing wind to her's at night. julia: there is a battery power is the thing. megan: that is going to be the big challenge. we all know having driven cross-country, that is what a great stew. no trucker wants to wants to charge and they have different demands than consumer facing vehicles we see now. that is going to be the key is building the infrastructure to keep these vehicles on the road and to meet the ruthless

timetables. carol: we are snapping pictures of a new fed coming in 2018. and economics talks about the president remaking the fed. megan: this is fascinating because before president trump came into the office, he talked about janet yellen and how it was arbitrary and the fed needs to be broken up. since then, he has not recast it as much as expected, but he has opportunities coming up. five governors and only two years potentially. whether he chooses people more in line with anti-fed all sees as opposed to people -- and i fed policies as opposed to people who are army put up. julia: here is editor peter coy. guest: the transitions and leadership and how many residents named -- presidents named each members of government and it was a lot of work. trump has potential to change

the fed more than a lot of his predecessors have. carol: why is he in that situation? is it just older people retiring or why? guest: it is probably just coincidence. people are getting old and want to move on. it's partly because he's literally choosing not to reappoint people. the most notable example is janet yellen. she had one term as chair and he chose to go with somebody else. he said he admired her and like her a lot but he wanted to put his own stamp on the organization. carol: it's not unusual for a democratic president to appoint a fed chair and maybe a republican chair and he keeps that fed chair. guest: two recent examples, ragan kept paul volcker and

clinton kept paul greenspan, a republican. there is a history of bipartisanship. carol: we do know the president then candidate donald trump on the campaign trail, often talked about the fed so maybe we are not surprised he wants to make his mark. peter: exactly. he said janet yellen is more political than hillary clinton at one point. so far though, wall street has been quite reassured by his choices for the fed. we have seen him make crazy picks for various cabinet post, but he has taken a middle-of-the-road approach with the fed. you can see that with drum powell. he's a republican, but he was a centrist figure who works for the by policy center before he joined the fed and was an obama appointee and trump has chosen

to elevate him and randal quarles is the wall street lawyer, who comes onto the fed as a vice chair of supervision. now we have good friends not yet confirmed, he comes from carnegie mellon university. these are the kind of picks. they have a republican tinge to them, but they are nothing that will alarm people like, the fed is going crazy these days. carol: so far. peter: exactly. so far. trump has a history of making out-of-the-box decisions. there is a residual fear among people that he can revert to form of the fed and treated like he's treated other parts of government, kind of blow things up. carol: how hollywood is trying to protect itself from bad actors. julia: we tell you about a good actor in puerto rico as a chef on the front lines makes civilian led relief efforts. carol: this is bloomberg businessweek. ♪

♪ julia: welcome back, i'm julia chatterley. carol: i'm carol massar. you can find us online at is a sweet.com. julia: and on our mobile app. cape town mayor explains why she hates mondays. carol: here is our editor. >> cape town has had very low rain, so they are confronting what they are calling a day zero situation, something across south africa people are referring to, which is the potential the taps might run

actually dry. the dams are extremely low. mondays is one they get those reports and as much as they are trying very hard on implement in various measures to limit the usage, the monday reports have been looking more ominous. julia: day zero in cape town is two months before the rain should begin. guest: exactly and as they are heading to the winter season, it's summer. carol: talking about cape town as a great place for tourists. they want people to come, all these great things. then we have this water crisis. is it the infrastructure is not there? is it climate change? visit multiple factors? -- is it multiple factors? guest: our scientist sites are various. they say climate change could be a factor and likely is a factor, as well as increased demand on the system.

the increased demand does not really explain the very low rainfall. they are quite baffled by it because it is sort of unheard of in cape town and the last time they might have confronted a situation like this was well over 100 years ago. there is greater demand, more people. it is a huge part of the local economy, the tourists, and they are there in the summertime now. lots of locals are not there. the tourists come in when locals are away or there are other factors, things that close up in the summertime. what i've heard from michael and others who reported on this is that we are not really going to feel the effects if you are traveling as a tourist. it's really the people who are living there, especially the city sport. carol: focusing on the risk management section, recent

allegations of sexual misconduct and assault are forcing hollywood to rethink how it does business. guest: some of my contacts in the film industry, we wonder what our studious and filmic is doing to protect themselves or cover themselves from the fallout of the situations that are happening in the headlines recently. what they said was and what we have been reporting is that a lot are going through policies, their insurance policies, trying to figure out how to cover things and realizing there is an coverage for something like this. say for example, in the case of sony's all the money in the world, about the getty family with kevin spacey, when he was dropped from the film and they chose to reshoot it, those millions of dollars in reshoot cost, they probably would have to absorb and there was no real

way of recovering that money. while we don't know the ins and outs, we haven't been able to get that from them. they haven't commented public week. what i understand is that financing specialists are trying to get a new form of insurance, like a debt and disgrace insurance that is more widely used in the advertising world to apply to the film world. julia: the allegations of kevin spacey were 31 years ago. guest: right. and that's the problem is that there are a lot of background checks went insurers or completion bond providers for films who guarantee the film will get completed will cover for that risk for various reasons the film might go off course. it is so hard to cover for something that could have happened decades ago but could really just now put your start out of business. carol: that's the difference. hollywood we know has always

been an industry that is an industry ripe with its own issues. there are always things that come up. but this is different because it can go back in time in terms of people who have done bad things him potentially. him guest: yeah. and it's a cultural shift. what has been sort of ignored and a blind eye turned to is not considered unacceptable and people are actively looking into people's pasts and it's coming back to haunt them and put them out of their jobs. julia: this week, it is devoted to philosophy. carol: the profile of a chef and the thanksgiving he spent in puerto rico. julia: here is our editor. guest: he's a very popular chef. after the hurricane in puerto rico, he went down and started cooking meals for people,

started with a few hundred meals and by now, symptom or 25th, he has served at least 3 million meals to people. at the time with the red cross were having trouble getting access to people. he figured out a way to do it. julia: he just had these big -- guest: that is something he saw a early on. he saw how hi traumatizing these storms were. to make people feel whole again, to make people feel normal, he realized a hot sit down meal was really important and he set up 20 kitchens across the country. on a certain day, he served 150,000 meals. julia: how did he do it? guest: he has a network of chefs that work with him in his organization and he basically found resources that were on the island of puerto rico, food storage, condemned the people who had food trucks that drove into rural areas and started cooking. he had thousands of volunteers.

julia: the beauty is not just a crisis response but also rebuilding the on the crisis response. for some of the people who were owning food trucks, he convinced them to hang around even after they left. guest: people didn't know what to do. it seemed impossible. he said you can help and you can stay. it was a key part of his distribution system. carol: the lesson of what he did, he's done many places around the world is just start. guest: that is the first lesson of philanthropy specials. if you don't know what to do,

be ok physically as long as their variants medical issues are well understood or well-controlled, that the studies they've done showed minimal correlation or unreliable correlation between peoples baseline psychological evil elections and likelihood of freaking out when things happen every julia: you mean it's tough to tell who's strapped to a rocket and say, i can't handle this. carol: i've had panic attacks on some rights at a music parks, but that's something to think about. from my understanding in this story, they call them the founders. they are going through extensive medical scrutiny. jeff: yes, they have said they heard pretty conservative as far as kinds of precautions they are
