Maria Bartiromo

You were at the business roundtable yesterday. Several major banks revising their economic forecast in the midst of this tariff uncertainty, including Goldman Sachs economists, by the way. What can you tell us in terms of your reaction and the impact of tariffs on the economy and your business?

Yeah. And, you know, you've got other things within the president's agenda that seems to me occurs to me to be very positive for your company, Goldman Sachs, as well as corporate America in general. I'm talking about the deregulation. Cutting regulations is a huge thing and that's going to have a big impact. The extension of the tax cuts.

So I want to get your sense on the macro story right now, David, because initially President Trump did not want to make a prediction. You heard him in that soundbite when I spoke with him on Sunday. That caused this massive sell-off in stocks. Yesterday, he did say, I don't see a recession coming. How would you assess the backdrop in terms of animal spirits?

Do you see M&A and IPOs picking up for you at Goldman? Are things that used to be on the shelf now coming off the shelf, if you will?

And I want to ask you about Ukraine and the blowup the other day with Zelensky. Let me stay on the economy for a moment, because there are rising worries about a slowdown. You've got the Atlanta Federal Reserve saying we're going to have a contraction in the first quarter. Look, I know that you inherited a mess, and you said that the other night. I've already been here.

But are you expecting a recession this year?

You said, look, we're going to have a disruption, but we're okay with that. Is that what you meant? The stock market going down was the disruption?
