Bloomberg Talks
00:07:50 · Tom Keene, Joe Lavorgna, Paul Sweeney
[00:07:50] S2: Martin Shanker just emailed in, folks. He's my number one advisor, tells me what to do. He says, act like a journalist. Joe Lavorgna, is Secretary Bessent considering higher office? Is he looking at a future within the Republican Party? [00:08:08] S1: My gut instinct is yes, but I don't, that's not based on any, you know, nobody. I mean, the scuttlebutt is that, you know, he's very happy and understandably so at Treasury. He's never said anything to me. People say no, but it would not surprise me. Again, this is my own personal view. [00:08:22] S2: So he says. [00:08:24] S0: I mean, in all seriousness, I honestly, I don't know, but it would make sense. I mean, I wouldn't surprise. [00:08:29] S1: Look at it this way, Tom. If you said yes or no, I'm going to say yes, but that's based purely on gut. [00:08:34] S2: If you feel like you want to come on tomorrow, can you please come back tomorrow? Talk to my people. [00:08:39] S0: Okay, I can try. Are they not listening today? [00:08:41] S2: No, no, that's fine. It's absolutely brilliant. And no, they never listen to me. My people, they don't. [00:08:47] S0: It's like, yeah, I get it. [00:08:50] S2: I can't say enough about it, folks. His perspective, hugely valuable. I think for a lot of people, stunning. to see his call there on the level of Democratic victory today. Mr. Lavorgna is with SMBC, Nikko Securities, and his Publix to the service to the nation is noted.
