here is jeff greenfield talking about the democrats.y coalition, they control the white house but the democrats are trapped in delusions of re-writing the rules while the gop figures out ways to bend them. and not to be outdone, steve schmidt today said chuck schumer is not the leader these times demand. how are democrats going to deal with the pressures, juanita? >> democrats have to get it together and the clock is ticking for them to do that. and i definitely appreciate all the commentary, especially from nicole wallace, she hit the nail on the head by having historic turnout, especially from black and brown communities and sealing the 2020 election not only for biden but democrat thes in the senate, this is how they return the favor to those very voters who we know are being targeted by at the voter suppression bills. and as i mentioned yesterday, it was going to be utterly disappointing if biden did not layout any commitments to explicit action that he is going to take in terms of applying pressure to the democratic senate caucus t

jeff: what we are seeing more so internationally today, i described them as short cycle barrels. so we don't see a lot of the 40 year greenfieldion dollar investment. we see a lot more of producing barrels more quickly, and i think we will see that focus more with national oil companies around the world then maybe we would have seen eight years ago. we would have seen a lot of money spent on infrastructure, which today, more of that spend is much better for halliburton. alix: do you feel like you have more pricing power internationally? jeff: i think we will gain power over time. let's let it lay out -- let it play out. pricing power returns generally in select markets because it -- markets before it becomes broad. we have a lot of opportunity. we see our tool order book filling up. big tenders, large tenders tend to be very competitive. but they also do is soak up a lot of equipment and capacity. for halliburton, i have been very clear that we are focused on profitable growth, so that means we are making profit and growing, so soaking up capacity internationally helps us in that direction. alix: does the super cycle thesis th

jeff miller of halliburton is cautious. >> what we are seeing internationally today, i described them as short cycle barrels. we don't see a lot of the 40-year greenfield multibillion-dollar investment. we see a lot more producing barrels more quickly. i think we will see that focus more with national oil companies around the world. alix: let's get to our oilfield services reporter. domestic versus international, what was your take away? >> i think he is spot on. you are starting to see the quicker turn, emblematic of what shell is -- shale is, where you are trying to go quicker, you don't want multiyear investments. you look for schlumberger, baker hughes, who are more internationally focused you handle that sort of thing. particularly pointing to russia and saudi arabia as two areas in particular that may see more of a ramp-up. alix: when you see the ramp-up, who has the ability to have that pricing power? >> it will be the guys with the biggest footprint, schlumberger, baker hughes. halliburton is trying to join that party as well. all three of those guys are trying to pivot away from north america into international markets, where they see better g
