>> GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME
BACK TO CHEDDAR'S OPENING
BHALLA WEDNESDAY'S CAPITOL HILL
ATTACK SHOT THE WORLD AND WILL
LIKELY LONG STANDING SCARS ON
AMERICA'S PLACE IN THE
INTERNATIONAL ARENA. US NOW TO
DISCUSS IS LEON LEVY SENIOR
GLOW A MACRO ANALYST AT EURASIA
GROUP A LEON IT'S GOOD TO HAVE
YOU WITH US THIS
MORNING EXPLAINING THE LONG
TERM DAMAGE THAT WEDNESDAY'S
VIOLENCE VIOLENT EVENTS.
>> WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE IS
THAT IT'S GOING TO MAKE MORE US
OUR LIVES HAS AN ACCOUNT ON THE
U.S.
SUPPORT GOING EVEN IT PLENTY OF
THEM ALL OR PRINT
PLENTY EXCITED THAT JOE BIDEN
IS ARRIVING ON THE POLITICAL
SCENE BUT WHAT THEY JUST SAW
THIS
WEEK WAS. THE FEROCITY AND
POTENTIAL STAYING POWER OF
TRUMPIAN POLITICS AND THEY ALSO
KNOW THAT IT'S A VERY DISTINCT
POSSIBILITY THAT IN 4 YEARS
TIME THEY'RE GOING TO BE
DEALING WITH ANOTHER
AMERICA FIRST PRESIDENT HE
MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY BE DONALD
TRUMP BUT THIS IS A REAL
POLITICAL GAIN
US POLITICS. SO
THAT'S US AT THE SAME TIME IT
ALSO EMBOLDENS US PARTICULARLY
THOSE THAT ARE NOT DEMOCRACIES
AND LOOK ON AT
THE EVENTS OF THIS WITH A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF
THAT'S PARTICULARLY TRUE OF
RUSSIA OF CHINA AND
OTHER ON.
>> OKAY, SO ON SOME BIT OF GOOD
NEWS OUT LEON WHICH WE HAVE TO
COVER HERE IS THAT JOE BIDEN
IS WELL WELL KNOWN ON THE
INTERNATIONAL STAGE CERTAINLY
AMONG OUR ALLIES SEEMS TO BE
RESPECTED AMONG
OUR ALLIES HE'S BEEN IN
POLITICS FOR
DECADES IS THEY ARE HOPE THAT
HE CAN RESTORE SOME OF THAT
CONNECTION THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP
LOST THE LAST 4 YEARS.
>> WELL, IT'S TRUE THAT JOE
BIDEN
DOES HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF
GOODWILL ALREADY ON THE
INTERNATIONAL SPHERE AND HE IS
A KNOWN QUANTITY AMONGST A LOT
OF OTHER WORLD LEADERS.
>> BUT THE ISSUE WAS THAT HE
WAS ALWAYS GOING TO FACE
AN UP THEY'LL BATTLE WHEN IT
CAME TO RESORT OF RESTORING
AMERICA'S
IMAGE ABROAD. PART OF THAT HAS
TO DO WITH THE DAMAGE THAT WAS
DONE BY TRUMP SPECIFICALLY.
BUT MORE CRITICALLY IT'S THE
STRUCTURAL CHALLENGES TO US
GLOBAL LEADERSHIP, AND BY THAT
I MEAN A RISING CHINA A
DIVIDED EUROPE. AN AMERICAN
PUBLIC THAT JUST HAS LESS
APPETITE FOR GLOBAL LEADERSHIP
ABROAD AND THEN DOMESTIC
PROBLEMS AT HOME LIKE THE
PANDEMIC THAT STILL NEEDS TO BE
DEALT WITH. SO THIS JUST MAKE
THIS WEEKEND THE EVENTS OF THIS
WEEK JUST MAKE A TOUGH JOB THAT
MUCH TOUGHER FOR HIM.
>> SO IT'S INTERESTING LEON AD
BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH IN
12 DAYS, A NEW ADMINISTRATION
WILL TAKE OVER WE SEE THE STOCK
MARKET WHICH IS LARGELY MADE UP
OF LARGE INSTITUTIONS AND
WEALTHY CONTINUE TO HIT RECORD
HIGHS. SO YES BIDEN DOES BRING
HOPE ABOUT THE REALITY
IS THAT THOUSANDS OF PRO TRUMP
LOYALISTS WHO STORMED THE
CAPITAL ARE STILL GOING TO BE
IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES ACTIVE
MEMBERS OF AMERICAN SOCIETY,
EVEN AFTER AN ODD YEAR-HE
AND SO WHEN IT COMES TO THE
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS.
IS THERE A MESSAGE BIDEN NEEDS
TO
BE SENDING TO HIS AS CITIZENS
HERE IN THE UNITED STATES IN
THOSE ABROAD AS TO HOW WE COME
TOGETHER AND AND TRY TO HEAL
THIS COUNTRY.
>> WELL THE MESSAGE
THAT BIDEN IS GOING TO GET TO
THE WORLD IS THAT THESE
PEOPLE DON'T REPRESENT
BUT THAT REMAINS TO BE THIS IS
WE JUST GOT OFF A PARTICULARLY
BITTER ELECTION
DONALD TRUMP. GARNERED
74 MILLION VOTES, IT'S AN OPEN
QUESTION TO
REMAIN WEATHER. WHAT HOW
REPRESENTATIVE THESE FOLKS ARE
OF.
THE AMERICAN PUBLIC BIDEN WILL
BE OUT THERE SAYING THAT THEY
DON'T REPRESENT THE U.S. BUT
REALLY THAT HAVE TO BE THE
VOTING BOOTH.
>> SO IT'S INTERESTING
BECAUSE THROUGHOUT AT PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S 4 YEARS WE DID HEARD WE
DID HEAR THAT THE BASE WAS
SHRINKING RIGHT THESE
LOYALISTS WHO VIOLENTLY STORMED
THE CAPITOL ON WEDNESDAY THAT
THAT WAS A SHRINKING BASED ON
YOUR IS THAT TRUE.
>> WELL IF YOU LOOK AT THE
POLLS THAT COME
OUT OF.
>> HOW MANY GOP MEMBERS
REPUBLICAN MEMBERS SUPPORT WHAT
HAPPENED IT'S STILL HIGH AND
YOU KNOW THIS IS BEEN
AN ISSUE THE ENTIRETY OF THE
TRUMP YEARS IS THAT THERE SEEMS
TO BE
FLOOR TO TRUMP'S BASE THE
QUESTION REALLY BECOMES WHAT
HAPPENS TO THESE FOLKS
WERE WILLINGLY VOTING FOR
TRUMP, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TRUMP
IS NO LONG IN THE OVAL OFFICE
DOES HE LOSE HIS LAST
DO THEY DO THEY STICK WITH THEM
DO THEY FIND SOMEBODY ELSE WHO
RISES TO SORT OF TAKE OVER THE
MANTLE AND WE
JUST DON'T KNOW AND WE WON'T
KNOW UNTIL DONALD TRUMP IS
ACTUALLY OUTSIDE OF THE WHITE
HOUSE AND THEN THAT QUESTION
WILL BEGIN TO BE ANSWERED IN
THIS.
>> AND IT HAS ME THINKING ABOUT
ANOTHER THING HE IS LOSING
THE BULLY PULPIT OF THE WHITE
BUT IT'S STILL AT TBD AS TO
WHETHER OR NOT THESE SOCIAL
PLATFORMS PERMANENTLY ROOM AND
I MEAN FACEBOOK FOR INSTANCE ON
FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM HAVE
INDEFINITELY REVOKED HIS ACCESS
AT LEAST TO THE INAUGURATION
AND POTENTIALLY ASKED MAD SO TO
WHAT EXTENT IS HIS BOYS LIVE
AND IN THAT REGARD BECAUSE
CLEARLY BASED ON WEDNESDAY ON
THE EVIDENCE IS THERE THAT HE
CAN RALLY THIS BAYS TO DO A
VIOLENT DEADLY.
I ALSO WANT TO ASK ABOUT THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY BECAUSE OF
COURSE AT THE 11TH HOUR ON THAT
TOOK VIOLENCE TO GET US TO
THIS PLACE. BUT MEMBERS OF THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY HAVE RESIGNED
FROM HIS CABINET MICH
COMING OUT VERY STARK WORDS
AGAINST THE PRESIDENT WHEN WE
SAW JOE BIDEN'S ELECTION WIN
ACTUALLY CERTIFIED. WHAT DO YOU
ANTICIPATE GOING FORWARD FROM
THESE RISK ESTABLISHMENTS
REPUBLICANS THAT WAS THE THING
RIGHT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS NEVER
AN ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN.
BUT ESTABLISHMENT
STILL WE'LL HOLD UP A DECENT
AMOUNT OF SEATS THERE IN THE
CHAMBER, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT
FROM THEM IN THE NEXT AT LEAST
2 YEARS.
>> ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS
HAVE
STRUGGLED AND AND THE TRUMP
YEARS AND THEY HAVE BEEN
WILLING TO MAKE CERTAIN DEALS
IN FURTHERANCE OF THEIR OWN
POLITICAL GOALS. BUT THE
QUESTION IS.
WE'RE THE EVENTS OF THIS WEEK
THAT THEY FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE
THAT HOW CAN LIST OF THE GOP
WE SAW THAT WHEN THEY RESUME
CERTIFYING THE ELECTION
RESULTS. YES, THERE ARE SOME
REPUBLICANS WHO BACKED DOWN
FROM OBJECTING TO
THE CERTIFICATION. BUT A WHOLE
LOT OF THEM CONTINUE TO DO
SO SO WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE
TO SEE THE SCHISM WITHIN THE
GOP PARTY, THE REAL QUESTION
IS IS HOW IS IT ALL GOING TO
SHAKE OUT AND WE JUST WE DON'T
KNOW AND WE'RE GOING TO WAIT
FOR THE END OF THE TRUMP
PRESIDENCY FOR THAT TO BECOME A
PARENT AND A LOT OF IT REALLY
DOES DEPEND ON DONALD TRUMP, IT
DEPENDS
ON HOW SERIOUSLY HE TAKES SORT
OF HIS ROLE WITHIN
THE GOP. AND IF ANYBODY ELSE TO
TAKE IT BUT THIS IS NOT THE
END. THIS DIVIDE BETWEEN THE
ESTABLISHMENT AND THE MORE
POPULIST BASE OF THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY AND IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE
GOING TO SEE PLAY OUT IN
PARTICULAR WHEN IT COMES TO THE
MIDTERMS AND WE SEE WHO IS
GOING TO BE A PRIMAR
