Before being named President Trump's secretary of commerce in 2017, Wilbur Ross had already earned a reputation as the “King of Bankruptcy” over his 55-year career on Wall Street. Often working on high-profile bankruptcies such as Pan Am and Texaco, Ross helped restructure more than $400 billion in assets, and was named among Bloomberg's 50 most influential people in global finance. After coming to Washington, Ross faced equally tough challenges, yet survived in his post for all four years.  Now Ross shares the story of how he got to the top and stayed there, as he relates in his new book Risks and Returns: Creating Success in Business and Life. He rose from humble beginnings in North Bergen, New Jersey, applied simple principles with strict discipline, and ultimately Ross's strategies and dealmaking skills led to relationships with King Charles, Warren Buffett, Carl Icahn, the Rothschild family, Steve Wynn, Lakshmi Mittal, Mike Milken, and many other famous personalities. Ross will also share his experiences with President Trump in the Oval Office. So whether you're interested in Ross's experiences as John Lennon's neighbor in the legendary Dakota apartment building, celebrating with Sir Richard Branson on his private island, or his tumultuous time in Washington, come hear a candid reflection of a life lived at the pinnacle of Wall Street, New York, and Palm Beach society, and the Trump administration.

Closing the Loop on Clean Energy

Where We Grow from Here

The rapid growth of reshored manufacturing, AI data centers, industrial decarbonization technologies, and electric vehicles are driving unprecedented demand for electricity. Many of the companies with the greatest energy demands have also committed to net zero emissions targets which will require them to use renewable power sources. While the renewable energy sector has grown tremendously, developing the capacity to meet the energy demand increase will face numerous challenges. In this episode, we're featuring a panel our S2G Summit in which Frank O'Sullivan, Managing Director of Energy at S2G spoke with Ernie Moniz, Former US Secretary of Energy and current CEO and President of the EFI Foundation, Grant van Rooyen, CEO of Tract, and Ben Pratt, President at Nova Clean Energy. They discuss the broader system needs to fully “close the loop” on clean energy spanning from generation, transmission, and interconnection, to PPA structuring, asset positioning, and beyond. Key Topics: Private Capital Dynamics and Clean Energy Transition: A significant gap exists between available capital and investable opportunities in the clean energy sector. Financing the "missing middle" remains a crucial challenge for translating new technologies into scaled clean energy solutions.Overcoming Grid Interconnection Hurdles: The process of grid interconnection for new energy projects poses challenges, with prolonged approval wait times hindering progress. Panelists discuss the need for robust expansion and optimization of physical grid infrastructure to efficiently meet the escalating demand for renewable energy sources.Strategic Data Center Development: Panelists make the case that we can't just put data centers anywhere. Strategic location choices near skilled labor pools and existing infrastructure are essential for successful data center establishment due to their scale and complex demands. Navigating the Regulatory Landscape in Energy Markets: Ongoing discourse revolves around the efficacy of regulated versus competitive energy markets in supporting the energy transition journey. Panelists discuss the merits of each system.Fostering Long-Term Collaboration for Clean Energy: The panelists discuss that long-term planning spanning a decade or more is essential for utilities and developers to effectively manage the surging demand for clean energy sources. Collaborative efforts involving project stakeholders and utilities are key to building trust and aligning proposals with regulatory frameworks for sustainable energy advancements.Resources: Video: Frank O'Sullivan and Bala Nagarajan on the Missing MiddleMissing middle paperTractNova Clean EnergyEFI FoundationThis content is for informational purposes only, should not be taken as legal, business, tax or investment advice, or be used to evaluate any investment or security, and is not directed at any investor or potential investor in any investment vehicle sponsored by S2G Investments, LLC or its affiliates (“S2G Ventures”).

We begin with the latest developments in the war in the Middle East. The Pentagon says the US IS carried out an airstrike on a weapons warehouse in eastern Syria. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says the self defense strike was in retaliation for attacks on American forces in Iraq and Syria. Meanwhile, Israel says some fifty thousand more Palestinians have fled to southern Gaza as Israel's army pushes deeper in to Hamas strongholds in the north of the territory. All this as, Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says, both Israel and the Palestinians need new leadership. So I think you have to create the environment in which there is a chance to revitalize the peace process and a potential for a two state solution. Hamas is not interested in a two state solution. They are dedicated to the destruction of Israel. That is in their charter. If you've been watching lots of different outlets over the last month, that is what the leaders of Hamas say, you know they want to destroy Israel. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton added that while Israel's unlikely to agree to a ceasefire that would benefit Hamas, it probably will accept pauses to allow aid to reach civilians in Gaza. Clinton made the comments in an interview with Bloomberg's editor in chief John Micklethwaite at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore. Well Nathan. The war in the Middle East was a major topic at last night's Republican presidential debate in Miami. The five candidates on the NBC stage were united in support of Israel, including Florida Governor Ronda Santis. I would be telling BB finish the job once and for all with these butchers. Come on, they're proris, their massacring innocent people. But there were devides over a to Ukraine and how to approach China. Of ak Ramaswami and Nikki Haley had a sharp exchange over banning TikTok in the last debate. She made fun of me for actually joining TikTok while her own daughter was actually using the app for a long time. So you might want to take care of your family first. Read my appreciation daughter man. Nikki Haley and the other candidates also went after front runner Donald Trump for skipping the debate. Jeanie she and Zano is a politics contributor for Bloomberg. She said he was a good president for the time, but he is not the right president for now. And then she pointed to the fact that he created eight trillion dollars in debt, he's wrong on Ukraine now, and the fact that we can't live in the past. Genie she Andzano notes the former president held a rally ten miles away rather than appearing on the debate stage. Meanwhile, Nathan House Republicans have issued subpoenas to members of President Biden's family. The move to subpoena the president's son Hunter and brother James comes as Republicans look to gain ground in their nearly year long investigation. So far, they have failed to uncover evidence directly implicating the President in any wrongdoing. Now to the latest developments caring in the New York Front trial of Donald Trump, his daughter Ivanka's day on the witness stand was filled with denials of any knowledge of her family's net worth calculations. Sloomberg's Ed Baxter has the story. She says she didn't know that her dad was claiming and that worth of more than four billion dollars as she tried to get a loan for the Durreal Golf Club in Florida. She flatly says she's not involved in his personal financial statements. Attorney General Letitia James says, not true. Ivanka Trump secured negotiated loans to obtain favorable terms based on fraudulent statements of financial condition, and she says the Trumps cannot hide from the truth. The Attorney General has wrested Ad Baxter. Bloomberg Radio all right ed, thanks well. From New York to Hollywood. The actors' union has reached a deal with studios to end its strike. Can we get the latest from Bloomberg's Doun Prisner. The vote by the union's Theatrical Committee was unanimous. Common ground was found on issues ranging from the use of artificial intelligence to payment from streaming services, and now, after four months, the strike by some one hundred and sixty thousand actors is over. The previously striking screenwriters have been back on the job for more than a month, so now production of scripted TV shows and movies can resume. And like the writers, the Actors' Union benefited from direct involvement in the talks by some of the most powerful people in Hollywood in New York. I'm Doug Prisner, Bloomberg Radio. All right, Doug, thanks now. Some of those most powerful people included Bob Eiger, and the settlement comes the same day Eigers Walt Disney Company posted fourth quarter profit that beat analyst estimates. Disney also says it'll cut an additional two billion dollars in expenses. Bob Iger says his company will also launch a beta trial bundle of Disney Plus and Hulu next month. We expected Hulu on Disney Plus will result in increased engagement, greater advertising opportunities, lower churn, and reduced customer acquisition cost, thereby increasing our overall margins. Man Right now, shares of Bob Bigers Walt Disney Company are higher by four percent in early trading. Well Nathan, Another CEO, is making news this morning. Bank of America's Brian moynihan said his company has a succession plan in place and that nothing is left a chance in deciding on his eventual replacement. Moynahan, who made the remarks at the Reuters Next conference, took the helm in twenty ten in the wake of the global financial crisis. And there's another bank in the spotlight this morning, Karen. That would be Morgan Stanley. Its wealth management business is under Federal Reserve scrutiny, sources say the New York based banks top regulators pressing whether the firm is taking adequate measures to prevent potential money laundering by wealthy clients outside the US. Representatives for the FED and Morgan Stanley declined to comment. And it's time now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. For that, we're joined by Bloomberg's John Tucker, John Good morning, Hey, Good morning Karen. Former President Donald Trump did skip the third uop to at in Miami, instead holding a campaign rally about ten miles away in Heyaliah twenty twenty four is our final battle. Stand with me in the fight. We will finish the job that we started so brilliantly seven years ago. We never had a country like we had just three years ago. Meantime, at judge in Michigan expected to hear arguments today whether the Secretary of State there has the authority to keep Donald Trump's name off state ballots for president. Various groups have filed similar lawsuits in other states, portraying Trump as the insider of the January sixth Capitol riot. They point to part of the Constitution the prohibits a person from running for federal office if they've engaged in insurrection or rebellion. Industry regulators say power grades that supply more than half of the US population may run short of electricity during an extended cold snap or severe storm over the coming winter. That story in this report from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellett. The North American Electric Reliability Corps as regional system operators in a vast swath of the country, stretching from Texas to New England, are at risk of insufficient electricity supplies during peak winter conditions. The report came in a winter reliability assessment which also showed Quebec and Saskatchewan facing the threat of power shortfalls. The outlook is even more dire than last year's report, which set a quarter of Americans were at risk of cold weather power emergencies in New York Charlie Pellett Bloomberg Radio, the population of the US climbed to about three hundred seventy million and twenty eighty before reversing course starting to fall before the turn of the century. This according to News Census Bureau projections and the bureau's most likely scenario, the number of people sixty five or older, we'll overtake the number under eighteen in just six years.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. We want to take you to Singapore now and the Bloomberg New Economy Forum, where world leaders have been weighing in on the economy and geopolitical risks, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She sat down with Bloomberg News Editor in chief John Micklethwaite to discuss Israel, Ukraine, China, and the future of the United States. They began with a discussion on President Biden's upcoming meeting with Chinese President She Jinping. Part of the reason it was, you know, somewhat more positive when I was there and we had a very regular set of meetings is because Hu Jintao was a Chinese leader who decided he would not stay for life, he would fulfill his term, he would follow the guidance of the Chinese Communist Party, there would be a transition a new group of leaders. You know, some holdovers, but you know, other new faces would be in power, and so there could be a constant renewing of both the Chinese government and through that the American relationship. Once she Jin Ping decided to stay in office for life, that creates a lot of you know, challenges within their own system, and I think we're seeing some of that. And so part of what I hope will come out of this meeting is an attitude by President Shei that you know, he wants to get back to some kind of regular order, that he sees it in China's interests to really dig in with the President Biden, develop a platform for discussions for problem solving, really sending that signal. I think he will find a receptive partner with President Biden if that's available. Israel and Hamas, I think you are in favor of a humanitarian pause or pauses, but you're against the SIESFA which many people in this region asking for. You know, the numbers of dead arising rapidly ten thousand according to Hamas Italy, but you still got like eighty nine dead at the UN which is a gigantic number for United Nations, the Red Crescent and so on. Can you perhaps explain why you don't want to cease far? There is a difference between a ceasefire which would in effect freeze the situation in Hamas's favor. I negotiated a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in November of twenty twelve, and at that point both parties did not want to go any further. The breaching of a pre existing ceasefire by Hamas with rockets being sent into Israel had not caused a lot of damage, and there also had not been the development of the infrastructure of terror that Hamas has built in Gaza. I don't know any nation represented at the New Economy Forum faced with the kind of assault that Israel was faced with by Hamas that would not be number one defending itself and number two trying to prevent it from happening again, because with every other cease fire it did happen again until finally we got to the breach of a ceasefire which was in existence on October seventh with the terrible attack by Hamas. So a ceasefire, if it were possible which frankly, I don't think is possible. I don't think you know, Israel is interested in a ceasefire at this point, but they are perhaps willing to have what we do call humanitarian pauses for the purpose of both getting aid in to try to assist the civilians in Gaza, but also getting the more than two hundred and forty hostages out. You know, these hostages are not just Israeli. One of the biggest groups of hostages are workers from Thailand who are working on farms in Israel. So there is a global dimension to the hostages that a pause could perhaps inspire some willingness on the part of Hamas to let the hostages go. But a ceasefire that would freeze the situation at this point is not something that is going to, you know, really undermine Hamas's capacity, especially with two hundred miles of tunnels that they have constructed over the last decade, to launch yet another attack on Israel, and that would be intolerable, and I think it would be intolerable for you know, any nation represented at the forum. Well, this seemed to be kind of two big theories going on about this war. One is that this is the end of the peace process, the other, which you've championed. The other is that this is if nothing else, this will prompt finally some move towards the two state solution. Which which which side of that do you fit on? Well? I actually try to fit on both, and I'll tell you, John, I think it's important to have some aspiration, some goal that we can look toward. Many of us, my husband particularly, worked very hard on trying to get a two state solution, and it, frankly, in retrospect, is heartbreaking that Yaser Arafat walked away from the deal that Bill had broker between Israel and the Palestinian authority back in two thousand. There could have been a Palestinian state up to ninety seven percent of the land from the nineteen forty eight division that would have been in existence for twenty three years now. So I think you have to create the environment in which there is a chance to revitalize the peace process and a potential for a two state solution. Hamas is not interested in a two state solution. They are dedicated to the destruction of Israel. That is in their charter. If you've been watching lots of different outlets over the last month. That is what the leaders of Hamas say. You know, they want to destroy Israel. So Hamas is not a partner for any kind of peace or two state solution. But the Palestinian authority might one time again be. New leadership in Gaza might again be So we have to get to a point where that's possible. Do you think that Benuine Nasignol, who is a partner for a two state solution. I don't think there is any evidence of that. I think the Israeli people will have to decide about his leadership. I think there will be investigations about what led up to and what happened on October the seventh. But I think there needs to be new leadership of the Israelis and the Palestinians in order to have any chance at some kind of peace deal, especially a two state solution. There's one area just I lost you once serious one, then that are slightly more amusing one. But on the serious side, you look at things like Ukraine. At the moment, there is definitely a strategy among America's enemies. You could see putin waiting perhaps for Trump, trying to dig in and wait, but also I think also counting on Congress where you feel that Congress feels over extended. It's got the border, it's got spotenningh I'm in Israel. Do you worry about America feeling as if it's over extended and unable to carry out the kind of global policies that you believed in. Well up until now, the Biden administration has done quite a remarkable job. I mean, they put together a coalition to support Ukraine, which I think many people would have thought unlikely when Biden took office. So I do think the legislative agenda that Biden got passed is also another very strong indicator of being able to get things done. I do agree with you that it is going to be challenging in the Congress to get more funding for Ukraine to provide the funding Israel needs to provide the kind of support that is required to keep our alliances strong around the world. But at the end of the day, I think the president will get that. And I also think there's an opportunity for the President because the Republicans in the Senate have said, you know, we're on board with all of this, but we want to make some changes at the border. I think that, you know, the Democrats should negotiate to see what kinds of changes would be palatable for the Democrats in order to secure the border, in order to make it clear that you know, Democrats want a secure border and a humane system for people who are trying to enter the United States, but we want it to be orderly. So I think there's going to be a lot of tough negotiation. At the end, I think the president will get what he needs. One very last things on the Republican side, you will have noticed how much traction Nicky Haley has been getting as a woman who was the American ambassador the UN. Do you think that Biden was to stumble that might be room for another woman with slightly more foreign policy. Well, I don't know the answer to that, but I hope Biden doesn't stumble. I hope that he goes all the way to the finish line because I think he's earned it, he deserves it, and you know, honestly, the only real argument or complaint is that he's old. And you know what, I think everybody who's his age would be very happy if they were as productive as he is and has gotten as much done as he has, and traveled the schedule he's traveled, so you know, I'm going to continue to support him, and I think he's our best candidate for twenty twenty four.

Mike Hosking on his exclusive view of coronation inside Westminster Abbey - A moment in history that lives forever

OPINION It's hard to know where to start. But I had no shortage of time to work it out given I was seated in Westminster Abbey by 7.30am. I wondered how badly time would drag given it didn't start until 11am. By 9am, the choir and orchestra began to play, and that was your first treat of the day. The sound in the Abbey is astonishing. I was seated with members of the House of Lords and various judges who were wearing their wigs, which made me wonder whether that was the reason the King chose May for the coronation. Because despite the weather, which started out mild and fine but turned to a bit of rain, the Abbey is warm and I am assuming by mid-June it could well be hot. There was a lot of heavy cloaking, and that's before we get to the crowns. King Charles III kneels during the coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey, London. The odd thing about the Abbey is for most people you can't actually see a thing. Between the walls and pillars and various religious paraphernalia, it's really a collection of nooks and crannies. I was lucky. I was seated directly next to where some of history's greatest names are buried - Newton, Darwin, Dickens, Chaucer. My eyeline met the Royal Family on the other side. At its closest point the King and Queen were no more than 30 metres from me. Those like UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak who had major parts walked directly in front of me (he is even smaller than you thought). British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Ashkata Murthy. Photo / AP In a sense it seemed unfair, as I wandered off to the toilet after about three hours of waiting inside. I walked past the good and the great who had seats at the entrance to the Abbey. I couldn't believe how close our little media group were and how small a contingent it was - just 27 of us. For those further back, once they'd watched the heavyweight arrivals walk past them, that would be the end of being able to see anything. That is until it was all over and those same people walked out. That was the overarching mood of the day. Everyone knew viewing in some way, shape or form would be restricted. But it was the “being there” that counted. You were a witness to history, and unlike so many events these days this one was rare. Mike Hosking in his Savile Row suit on his way to the King's Coronation at Westminster Abbey. Photo / Supplied Virtually no one would have seen or been at the last one, so it had a character of uniqueness to it. We all felt privileged. There were so many famous people, spotting them ran the risk of being boring. There was a buzz when Prince Harry arrived. I thought he looked sort of lost. He was with other family but in that ‘we put him with the cousins' sort of way. His seat was not as bad as some media had suggested, but even he spent a decent chunk of the ceremony looking at the screen given the viewing restrictions, not to mention Princess Anne's hat in front of him. Britain's Prince Harry, centre, arrives at Westminster Abbey for the coronation ceremony of Britain's King Charles III, in London, Saturday. Photo / AP Prince William is tall, way taller than the rest of them. If I were to pick a highlight, his oath on bended knee in front of his father was very touching. I am probably being unfair, but musically the Ascension Choir brought not just diversity but an amazing life to the Abbey. TV hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, who are known in New Zealand but amazingly popular in Britain, got a cheer and a lot of clapping when they arrived. They won the prize for the biggest reaction, although the Royal Family received applause as they left. We had seen Dec in Savile Row earlier in the week. He was going into the same place we were coming out of, having bought a pocket square. It's a place called Drakes which is for the “edgier dresser”, I am told. At the Abbey we got given a ticket to enter and a copy of the order of service. Strict instructions came with that - one copy per person, no excuses. Apparently something went awry at the Queen's funeral so they'd tightened up on that. Both mementos of this major occasion. Britain's Prince William and Kate, Princess of Wales, followed by Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, arrive at the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey, London. Photo / AP The odd thing about being inside the event is that you miss the outside action. The King, I was told, was on his way, but we wouldn't have known that sitting in the Abbey. The first we saw was when the carriage pulled up. The bells that were tolling could barely be heard inside, and part way through when the crown was placed on the royal head (I thought the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby gave it a bit too much pressure, and did it twice, plus it's not light) cannon fire was let off from various parts of Britain. We couldn't hear that either. People were impeccably dressed and impeccably polite, it seemed everyone knew how lucky they were. No matter who you were or where you came from, you were all equal for a couple of hours. I thought that again as I wandered out a side door at the end. Former US Secretary of State John Kerry was standing next to me. He was by himself for a while we exchanged pleasantries, before he took a phone call. Actor Joanna Lumley wandered out. I shook her hand and told her who I was given we've talked a number of times for interviews. She said she remembered (regardless whether she did) but like everyone else she was astonishingly lovely. Newly crowned King Charles III and Queen Camilla have emerged from Westminster Abbey for a grand procession returning to Buckingham Palace after his coronation. Photo / Supplied Standing outside the Abbey, I then turned and realised the gold carriage the King and Queen were leaving in was just across the lawn, beyond the small fence that surrounds the church. I had a spectacular view inside. I had an even better one outside. The carriage went past, off to the Palace for the balcony wave. Just like that it was over. We filed out, through the security tent that had been abandoned, across Lambeth Bridge where several hours earlier I had said hello to Stephen Fry waiting in line, and into a taxi whose driver told me I didn't have a hope in hell of getting back to the hotel because every central road was shut. I just made it back in time to see live pictures of the Mall, the royal wave and the fly by. It's one of those moments you think “how long would you walk for, how long would you wait for, how much security can you endure, how many crowds do you want to battle?”. A crowd gathers at Whitehall ahead of the coronation ceremony for Britain's King Charles III in London. Photo / AP The answer is all of it and more. I love the royals so I'm a paid-up member. But even the most hardened republican would have had trouble in the Abbey not seeing the overwhelming history, power, influence and consistency of the monarchy. Two hours that live forever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
