1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Why from our nation's camera this budget thing is going

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: to do nothing space forces. I still think it's interesting

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: President Trump not playing his cards yet. Headlines Policy and

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: Politics colliding Floomberg Sound On, the Insiders, the influencers, the insides.

5
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: I would rather see a congressional solution. It's part of

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: my DNA. The Senate map in looks a lot different

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: than it looked in. You really have a divide within

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: Team Trump. The president has to do exactly what people

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: sent him here to do, which is to get it done.

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Sound On with Kevin Shirley on Bloomberg

11
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: and one oh five point seven f m h D

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: two postponed President Trump and President she Jingping might have

13
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: to delay their meeting until December, and it could be

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: outside of the United States. Wall Street didn't like that news,

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: but still optimism on the US China trade front. Meanwhile,

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: the latest on the impeachment front, as Republicans are considering

17
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: including the Biden in President Trump's impeachment trial, how quickly

18
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: this could expand outside of Speaker Pelosi's purview, and the

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: latest on that impeachment inquiry. Diplomat describing Trump aids escalating

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: pressure on the Ukraine. But will it change anything or

21
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: will it end up being a headache for the Democratic

22
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: senators running for president. We have some of the best

23
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: in the business right here in studio. Gretav anceustern Back.

Speaker 1: congrats on the new show. Thank you very much. And

32
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: should I just start talking right now about how the

33
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: last time I was here, I got sickened into bolt

34
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: from the room, threw up in a trash man in

35
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: the Bloomberg newsroom, so humiliated. But I'm back tonight and

36
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: I feel healthy and and we're thrilled you're healthy. And

37
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: it was just a testament the last time you were

38
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: pretty good though. That was oh man, that was like

39
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: the most embarrassing. It was pretty dicey during the commercial breaks,

40
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: but I was like, Wow, what a trooper and what

41
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: a tour diforce and journalism and drank. Can I just

42
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: thank the Bloomberg newsroom for not leaking it to like

43
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: playbook like seeing spotted Gretave ancestor and losing everything in

44
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: the newsroom. You know, I don't even think Littman would

45
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: have been able to believe that story had we told

46
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: him that one. Anyway, so much welcome, thank you for

47
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: welcoll what's on the show this weekend? Because the mayor

48
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: Pete really yep, and I'm going to interview him and

49
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: find out why it is that he thinks he should

50
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: be the next president. We can't wait to see that

51
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: interview as well. All right, folks, let's start with impeachment

52
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: because uh, there's so much to get through today. They

53
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: continue to release these transcript one by one, and there

54
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: was another diplomat in a transcript that was released today.

55
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: According to the Bloomberg Terminal, the top US diplomat in

56
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: Ukraine gave the House impeachment inquiry a detailed look at

57
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: escalating efforts by a core group of President Trump's ad

58
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: advisers to pressure Ukraine to open a politically motivated investigation.

59
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: William Taylor, who took charge of US embassy in Ukraine

60
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: after the former abassador was ousted in May, told the

61
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: committees that he thought that phone call back in July

62
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: sounded like a good idea as Ukraine sought to strengthen

63
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: its fight against the Russians. Josh, you know, we were

64
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: talking about this, and you're a democratic insider. We were

65
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: talking about this in terms of whether or not we

66
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: think voters are following and obsessing over the release of

67
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: these transcripts. I'm not sure they are, Josh. So they're

68
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: probably not following every single detail as they as they

69
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: come out and as in following kind of what the

70
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: greater illustration is on the details as opposed to what

71
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: they heard come out of the depositions initially. But the

72
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: but they are following the higher level point here, which

73
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: is that something really bad went down in that phone

74
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: call between uh the President and the President of Ukraine,

75
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: and this is putting all the all greater weight on

76
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: all of it, and they are getting concerned about it increasingly.

77
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: We're seeing that in in polling numbers. Certainly when you

78
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: look at the support for impeachment earlier today, House in

79
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Shift, the Democrat from California.

80
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: I was talking to reporters just about where things stand

81
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: in the impeachment inquiry, and he told the press that

82
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: open hearings are going to begin one week from today.

83
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: So so buckle up, everybody, because that granted, the halls

84
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: of Cargress are going to be packed once these public

85
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: hearings begin. Take a listen to Adam Shift from earlier

86
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: today here he is so those open hearings will be

87
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: an opportunity for the American people to evaluate the witnesses

88
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: for themselves, to make their own determinations about the ability

89
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: of the witnesses, but also to learn firsthand about the

90
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: facts of the president's misconduct. Ryan Williams, Republican, if you

91
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: are in the halls of Congress or a staff are

92
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: briefing a Republican member on the three committees looking into this,

93
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: and these hearings are about to go public, what's your strategy, Well,

94
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: there really isn't a strategy right now. The the strategy

95
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: initially was just to attack the entire format of this

96
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: investigation up until now, having been behind closed doors, and uh,

97
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, done in a way where they couldn't call witnesses.

98
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: Now that's moving to a public phase. The president like

99
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: that approach. The President doesn't want the process attack now,

100
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: he wants himself defended because as he thinks, his call

101
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: is a perfect call that he had with the Ukrainian president.

102
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: So there really isn't any kind of strategy. I think

103
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: many members, uh, certainly in the Senate where they'll have

104
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: to be jurors, are just basically trying not to comment

105
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: on it and saying they're they're a juror, they're going

106
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: to review things. So, um, it's it's not very coordinated.

107
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: As a short answer, Gretta, you wear many hats. One

108
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: of them is lawyer, attorney. And I've also covered the

109
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: Clinton and I was alive for the Nixon And so

110
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: as we head into next week with these public hearings

111
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: just around the corner, what would you be if you

112
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: what would you be advising Democrats and Republicans if they're

113
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: a member of the committee for the show the circus

114
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: that's coming to town next week. Well, first of all, um,

115
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: we haven't heard from any of these witnesses directly, and

116
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: we've only gotten leaks. And if it's something favorable to

117
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: the Republicans. You know, it's some Republicans side favorable to Democrats.

118
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: You know it's favorable. It's um from them that it's

119
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: from the Democratic side. So I think the American people

120
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: have been somewhat poisoned almost by the telephone game of

121
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: anonymous sources. I think I would advise Republicans and the

122
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: Democrats to act civilized, act like adults, to ask questions

123
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: that are probing to you know, you know, no, I

124
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: know it's not gonna have it, but you know, this

125
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: is this is really grave. The thought of Austina president

126
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: constitutional part of our constitution. It's it is grave. And

127
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: so far everybody has taken side. And it's not just

128
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: American people, but you can go down the list of

129
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: members of Congress. They have made their positions. No one,

130
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: no one is saying I think, I'll wait for the facts.

131
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: I'll wait to hear everything. Everyone has taken sides, and

132
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: everyone has demonized each other. Yesterday we had Donald Trump Jr.

133
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: On the program and he was raising the issue Josh

134
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: of the Bidens, and in particular that the Biden's relationship

135
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: with Ukraine and that that might be front and center

136
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: come these public hearings as as Republicans and the President

137
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: have raised that issue, and earlier today in the Washington Post,

138
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: Rachel Bade Robert Costa reporting that Senate Republicans consider including

139
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: the Bidens in the Trump impeachment trial. Take a listen

140
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: to what Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina,

141
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: had to say about that. Here he is, I've tried

142
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: to resist turning the Senate into a circus. I don't

143
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: want to go after Joe and Hunter Biden because people

144
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: are mad that Trump's not getting a fair deal in

145
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: the House, Josh, But you know the US, the members

146
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: of the Freedom Caucus, Jim Jordan's, Mark Meadows, they they're

147
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: gonna you know how hearings work up on Capitol Hill.

148
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: Some of the questions that are going to be out

149
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: there are going to truthfully illustrate or raise questions about

150
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: the Bidens. And and now, if you're the Biden campaign,

151
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: you've got to deal with the tax coming from Elizabeth

152
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: Warren on Medicare policy, saying are not progressive enough, and

153
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: now nationally televised impeachment hearings, which could play like an

154
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: attack ad for the Republicans against Joe Biden. Well, Let's

155
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: not forget that the Vice President has been dealing with

156
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: these attacks for the last six weeks, so it's not

157
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: like he hasn't been front and center, and Hundre hasn't

158
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: been front and center, um in Republican attack lines until now.

159
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: I think the Republicans are going to do their best

160
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: to make them a part of these hearings. But at

161
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: the end of the day, Um, I think it's gonna

162
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: be a really narrow scope and that's gonna be a

163
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: challenge for the Democrats in the House to keep these

164
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: hearings and to keep the articles of appeciate. They'll be

165
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: put together focused tightly on Ukraine and on struction of justice. Josh,

166
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: where I grew up, a lot of people don't make

167
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: fifty tho dollars a year. And I know in Washington, Wisconsin. Appleton,

168
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: Wisconsin also home a Rocky Flyer, Harry Whodini lived there.

169
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: A lot of other people, but anyway, rock but you

170
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: know where you know, fifty a lot of money, and

171
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: he was in Biden's son Hunter was making fifty dollars

172
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: a month. And now I don't think it's illegal, but

173
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: it certainly is unseemly, and it certainly does reflect poorly

174
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: on Hunter Biden and his father says he didn't know

175
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: anything about it. But I think this hurts the Biden

176
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: campaign and people who are sort of on the fence.

177
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: Did I vote for this Democrat or another Democrat? Um?

178
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: You know Vice President Biden. Uh, you couldn't find a

179
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: nicer guy in Washington. But I think this fifty dollars

180
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: a month is not helpful to his campaign. I tried

181
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: to press done on this yesterday, but Gretted, do you

182
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: think there's going to be pressure or do you think

183
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: one of the things that might start to come up

184
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: is whether or not President Trump releases the transcripts of

185
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: the calls between Biden. I don't know if they'd be released,

186
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: but I'm waiting for Zelinsky side of this equation to

187
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: release the complete transcript, because remember, we only have a

188
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: memorandum of the July conversation. We do not have the

189
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: complete transcript. And I'm a little bit suspicious that the

190
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: Ukrainians said that they recorded it and that they have

191
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: a full transcript. So I'm waiting for that. All right,

192
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: coming up, we're gonna dive into the numbers upset upset

193
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: in last night's Kentucky gubernatorial race. Democrat Andy Basher the

194
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: apparent winner in Kentucky's governor race. Is that a blow

195
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: to President Trump? Plus the latest politics on Panel Stays.

205
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: everybody here. Let's start with last night. We got to

206
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: talk about last night because there were some major races

207
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: in in uh in the governorships and and in Kentucky

208
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: Attorney General will start in Kentucky. Kentucky Attorney General Andy

209
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 1: Butcher pulled off an apparent upset. That's what NBC News

210
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: is calling it. Tuesday Night over Republican incumbent Governor Matt Bevan. Now, remember, folks,

211
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: President Trump was campaigning in Kentucky for Governor bevn just

212
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: the night before. Now, I was talking to sources today.

213
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: We were telling me, Hey, you know there was Bevin

214
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: had some problems. You know, he was perceived as being

215
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: a bit corrupt put it mildly, uh, And he tried

216
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: to nationalize the race, but it didn't work. They were

217
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: looking at downballot races and they in Kentucky and they

218
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: found some glimmers of hope. But then head to Virginia.

219
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: Here in the Virginia State Legislator, Democrats flipped both chambers.

220
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: Both chambers. Now Democrats have complete party control for the

221
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: first time in years. And of course, in Mississippi, the

222
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: Republican governor Tate Reeves Lieutenant Governor Tate Reads the Republican

223
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: apparent winner in uh in that race, gret, what do

224
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: you make of? Are these bellweathers or are we political

225
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: junkies are reading too much into into last night? Well,

226
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: I think the governor in Kentucky was very unpopular with

227
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: his people in Kentucky. Although the President President tweeted had

228
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: had he had he won his governor been reelected. The

229
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: President would have taken credit for and he's certainly not

230
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: taking credit for the loss, and he takes credit for

231
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: the race in Mississippi. UM. Now, I think Virginia's fascinating

232
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 1: because they have an opportunity. Now they've got the Democrats

233
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: have the entire field, and are they going to get

234
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: in gun control fast? Are they gonna do that quickly?

235
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: I mean, they can do a lot of things as

236
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: Democrats and show basically the rest of the country what

237
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: Democrats will do if elected. So I think there's a

238
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on Virginia, if Josh, I mean, just

239
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 1: as we stare down now a couple of months out

240
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,599
Speaker 1: until the Iowa caucus. Uh, and we know Grett is

241
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: going to be interviewing one of those contenders, Pete Buddha

242
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: g Edge this week on her show. Uh, if your Biden,

243
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 1: If you're Buddha Gedge, Sanders Warren and you're looking at

244
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: last night, what are you gleaning from from those numbers? Yeah?

245
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: I think there are a couple of red lights on

246
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: for both parties. The first just for Trump, UM and

247
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: the Republicans. You're you're looking at moderates in suburbs who

248
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: helped to turn this election for them, especially when you

249
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: look at Kentucky. And I think that's meaningful and I

250
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: think that the Republican Party is worried about this, and

251
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: you're seeing this in the journalism today coming out of

252
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: the election. On the Democratic side, I think it's really

253
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: important to look at how to share one how that's important. Well,

254
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: let's talk about the issues and how we want on

255
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: the issues, because because it really reflects on where the

256
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: Democratic Party is and where the energy is right now.

257
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: We think of Bernie Sanders, you think of Elizabeth Warren

258
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: um and at that end of the party. But you

259
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: were talking about you making sure that healthcare is not

260
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: taken away from people. You're talking about making sure the

261
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: teacher's pensions are protected, um, and that education is invested

262
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: in and you're talking about reproductive rights. I mean, those

263
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,599
Speaker 1: are those are bedrock kind of you know, center of

264
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: the road issues. And the way he approached it was centrist,

265
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: and I think it's it's actually a sign that that

266
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: that has currency in the Democratic Party and this could

267
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: lead to, you know, a return of the centrists in

268
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: terms of prominence in our in our party, the Democratic Party.

269
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: As the primary gets underway, Ryan Republican strategists, are you

270
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: hitting the panic button? No. Um. The Kentucky governor's race,

271
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: I think is a different animal than a federal race.

272
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: The governor was very unpopular Governor Bevan Um. At the

273
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: same time that he lost, Republicans actually picked up every

274
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: other statewide office. They took supermajorities in both houses there. Um,

275
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: I think that race was unique to him. That being said,

276
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: Bevin is a guy that was kind of in the

277
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: mold of Trump. He was not expected to win his

278
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: race four years ago. It was an upset when he

279
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: was an outsider that kind of bombastic came in sort

280
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: of like Trump did a little a year later. But

281
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: when he got into office, he really didn't tack to

282
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: the middle. He didn't kind of calm down and act

283
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: like a statesman, and it's cost him re elections. So

284
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: I think that's of concern. But overall, Um, if you

285
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: look at the results, Kentucky went for Republicans pretty uh,

286
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: pretty well down the ballot, especially for the attorney general,

287
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: Daniel Cammon, remember that name. He's a future star for

288
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: the party. First African American attorney general in state history.

289
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: You know that. It's also like the r the election,

290
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: it's a year away, and this just seems so important,

291
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: so significant right now. But a year from now, we'll

292
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: be saying, what race in Kentucky, what race in Mississippi?

293
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: Look there there is um. Yes, not a not a

294
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: long memory for voters for sure. Um. And so we're right,

295
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: we're trying to read the te leaves to look ahead,

296
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: and that's all we can do, right um. But at

297
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: the same time, I think that there are campaigns taking

298
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: note of the fact that this is validation. If you

299
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: are a centrist running for the nomination of the Democratic Party,

300
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: you're looking at the fact that you know, this gnutural

301
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: candidate was not trying to remake health policy overall, you know,

302
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: which is a good sign for Democrats. I mean that's

303
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: thinking that that centrist because a lot of the sort

304
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: of the candidates are president right now, some of them

305
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: are running way far left, absolute way far left and

306
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: a lot of But do we think Warren's going to

307
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: attack to the middle after seeing this, I don't think so. Yeah.

308
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it's about her. I think it's about

309
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: the party. The voters looking to the candidates who are

310
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: centrists and seeing, you know what, maybe this is the

311
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: way to win but but how do you do that?

312
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: You have you have Bernie Sanders saying free college for everyone,

313
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: and then you've got Center clob you are saying, look,

314
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: I'd like free college for everyone, but you know, but

315
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: that's impractical. So now nobody wants her, you know who

316
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: wants a free college? And speaking speaking of Senator Amy

317
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: klob Are, she just qualified for the December debate, so

318
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: she has continued to find see. I think she's she's

319
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: gonna do a lot better in Iowa than people realize,

320
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: to take a lot better. And that's a problem for

321
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: Joe Biden because because if he does not have a

322
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: strong showing in Iowa, as he's not expected to. But

323
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: a centrist, does I mean our clobit chart votes Biden

324
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: votes or our Biden votes cloba chart votes. I mean,

325
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: that's another question I had my eye on, you know

326
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: this credit I wake up and I read the Delko Times.

327
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: In the headline, you know what, the front page of

328
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: the Delko Times was d Day. You know why because

329
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: it was historic. The Democrats swept three county council seats

330
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: and now have a five oh grip. Why does that matter?

331
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: Because it's suburban Philadelphia and that is where President Trump

332
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: overperformed in the last presidential election and was able to

333
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: kill This is Pennsylvania bragging about how important is Let's

334
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: go back to Wisconsin. I mean, let's let's talk about

335
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: that was a vote difference and Hilly Clinton never bothered

336
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: a visit. That's the state that's gonna Wisconsin is going

337
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: to determine who the next president is. What I love

338
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: about Greta. She's never biased, except when it comes to

348
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: There are days when you don't know what what the

349
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: show is gonna sound like. Today not one of those days,

350
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: because we've got three of my favorites here in studio,

351
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: Greta man Sustern, Josh Gaalper, and Ryan Williams making my

352
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: job easy. Not only easy, but I'm learning by watching

353
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: all three of you. So let's talk policy. Did you

354
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: see this? So I this is some bad news, and

355
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm an optimist, but the i m F, the i

356
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: m F is warning Europe to make an emergency plan

357
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: for an economic slump. They're not as optimistic as our

358
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: Central Bay Fed chair J Powell, who I went to

359
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: law school with. You went to law school with. J

360
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: Powell was in my class? Was how everyone says, like

361
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: I would, I always say, he's a nice kid. He

362
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: was a really nice kid. He was. He was a

363
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: nice kid. Was he like you know, fed chairs and

364
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: and and like Janet. I can't imagine them as kids

365
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 1: because they're so serious and they talk in monotone. But

366
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: was he always that like like the Fed minutes. He

367
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: came to Georgetown Law School having come from Princeton, so

368
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: he had sort of aura from the rest of us

369
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: a k from public school. No, but he was. He

370
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: was a very nice guy. It was fun. There was

371
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: a really great article I believe in the Journal or

372
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: the post about his wife being on a local dog park.

373
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: The dog park, that's probably pore wife. So how can

374
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: we get business out of this? So this is a

375
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: business deal. This she was very involved and I'm blanking

376
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: and I shouldn't have mentioned it because I'm liking on

377
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: the details. But she was very involved in the dog

378
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: She's like the mayor, She's like the mayor of this

379
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: little community. Yeah, it's a it's a it's a thankless job,

380
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: thankless job, you know. I felt, I felt storry for

381
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: I read the whole story, and I read the whole

382
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: story and loved it. Yeah, and there was there was

383
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: a follow up too, and it's it's terrible that dog

384
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: park is now gone. It is, yeah, very popular, brought

385
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: the community together, but now it's gone. But the economy

386
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: nationally doing well but not in Europe, and Germany stuck

387
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: to its stands. That how's that for a pivot? And

388
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: Germany is a big weekend, a big week coming up

389
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: year of the wall going down? Yes right, yes, yes,

390
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 1: but so the International Monetary Fund urging Europe to come

391
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: up with some emergency plans, and we talked so much

392
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 1: about global volatility and whether or not the economy and

393
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: domestically here in the United States is doing well. We

394
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: often you can't look at the the U S economy

395
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: and a vacuum. It's so much impacted by what's going

396
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: on in Germany and Asia obviously as well. And I

397
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: was at the White House earlier today for Bloomberg Television

398
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: reporting on the Voiders scoop where the Trump she Trade

399
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: summit may have to go to December now because it

400
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 1: was supposed to be in Chili, Siillian Chili no longer

401
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: because the protesters have the protesters uh had some security concerns,

402
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: so that's not going to happen. And President Trump had

403
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: floated that it might be elsewhere, but we might have

404
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 1: to wait till December in order to get phase one

405
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: of that deal completely gretit. Yes, and look this is us.

406
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: I used to interview Donald Trump years and years and

407
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: years ago, almost almost every week or two weeks when

408
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: I was at the Fox News Channel, And it's long

409
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: before he even we even contemplated that he would run

410
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: for president. And you'd be talking about the weather and

411
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: say it's a nice outside on the air, and he'd say,

412
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: China is ripping us off. I mean, he was obsessed.

413
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: We used to always and you know, as we used

414
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: to always say before and planning, like, how are we

415
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: going to if the discussion is about Saudi Arabia, how

416
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: do we get Trump not to talk about China. He's

417
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: always been concerned with US China relations and so this

418
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: is not something new since has become president. Um and uh.

419
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: He wants that meeting because he wants to handle that

420
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: trade trade issue. And of course we've got the problem

421
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: with the Iowa farmers and and their expectations. So it's

422
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: a lot going on with trade right when you talk

423
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: to businesses and CEO is just about the importance of

424
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: Phase one. Wall Street dipped on this news about there

425
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: being a delay in this. They don't want to see

426
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: these tariffs December fifteen go into effect. How important is

427
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: it to provide not just political certainty from the conservative perspective,

428
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: but also economic certainty heading into calendar year that Phase

429
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: one get completed by the end of the year. It's

430
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: very important that there's nothing that Wall Street takes more

431
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: than uncertainty. And there's been certainly a lot of uncertainty

432
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: and this administration on various things, the China issue being

433
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: one of the biggest. It looked like we were on

434
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: on track for something this time finally, but now obviously

435
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: with the meeting being canceled with other developments, it just

436
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: puts the uncertainty back into the equation, and um, that's

437
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: not I don't think that's good for the president fold

438
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: into it. The government shutdown November one, impeachment shutdown. There's

439
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: just more uncertainty, and I think it gets people jittery.

440
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: And those hearings, I know, oh my gosh, the hearings

441
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: are set up again right around the time of their

442
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: potentially being. The market hasn't seemed to react to the

443
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: impeach It's like a separate drama. It's all like a

444
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 1: Shakespeare in a side that this is going on, and

445
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: the actors are talking like the audience isn't there. You know.

446
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: I think most most people think that he's just gonna stay.

447
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean, well, you can't get twenty Republicans sayers probably

448
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: it looks completely unlikely. But the but the government shutdown

449
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: and that, you know, that's where reacts, and the trade

450
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: issues that's where it does react. So I mean, while

451
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: we are consumed with the impeachment, there's a lot going

452
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: on that could affect our economy, and that's what I'm

453
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: reminded of every single day on Bloomberg Television. You have

454
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,359

Speaker 1: for Bloomberg Television and Bloomberg Radio. You're listening to Bloomberg.

461
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Sound On with Kevin Surreley on Bloomberg

462
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: and one oh five point seven f m h D two.

463
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm Kevin CURRELEI, Chief Washington correspondent for Bloomberg Television in

464
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Radio. Some breaking news tonight former Attorney General Jeff

465
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: Sessions to announce his bid for the Alabama Senate seat

466
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: on Thursday. Our panel reacting, Gret Evan Sustern, Josh Galper,

467
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: and Ryan Williams's well, that that explains why he was

468
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: speaking at some small republican organization in Georgia. Recently at

469
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: Alabama recently Alabama Alabama recently, and he had praised for

470
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 1: President Trump, who had fired him so and who had

471
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: belittled him. So now it looks like he's going to

472
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: have Trump. Trump's inside the tent, or he's inside Trump's tent.

473
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 1: I don't know where. I mean, I'm not an expert

474
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: in Alabama politics, but I'm it should be a relatively

475
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: easy win for I don't think so. No, it's it's

476
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: a pretty wide field. You've got Coach Tupperville in the race,

477
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: Congress and Bradley Byrne. You've even got Roy Moore. I

478
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: think he's going to get pounded by by Trump. The

479
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: President does not like him. But but he came out

480
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: for the President, which was unusually. He's one of those

481
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: guys that Trump has just never let it go. Yeah,

482
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: but but President Trump also has his job up next

483
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: and so because he's gonna be able to focus on

484
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: settling the score. And remember remember Sessions was the first

485
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: first person, first senator to endorse Trump. That doesn't matter

486
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: anymore to him to respect, right, my friend Ryan Williams,

487
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: we've seen the President go back and forth for whatever reason.

488
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: There's a few people who He's never gone back and

489
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: forth on it's been Sessions banning. They're They're permanently in

490
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: the doghouse, and I think that the President would like

491
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: to stick it to him on this one, all right.

492
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: And then John Roberts, our friend John Roberts over at

493
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 1: a Fox News that tweeted out earlier today from a

494
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: senior Administration official, Pam Bundy and Tony saying, remember Tony

495
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: from the Treasury Department, Tony Sayeg are expected to join

496
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 1: the White House Communications team to work on proactive impeachment

497
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: messaging and other special projects. I'm known Pam Bondi since

498
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: she was a prosecutor in Hillsborough County, Florida about twenty

499
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: five years. I've been on TV when prosecutor and defense attorney,

500
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: and I've known her for years. And Tony was the

501
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: driving force behind the messaging of the tax the tax

502
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: bill that went through, so from taxes to impeachment. I

503
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: guess Tray Gouty's on the outs. He's not gonna couldn't

504
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: do it well. The unfortunate thing, though, is that when

505
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: that whole thing broke, he lost his contract at Yeah,

506
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: so he's sort of in the nemoso of a situation

507
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: for him. This is also six weeks too late. I mean,

508
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: they should have been planning this really for the last

509
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, a month and a half, in even a

510
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: couple of years. Just think of the six weeks that

511
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: we have ahead. Just not not. If you're driving in

512
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: your car and your way from work, drive safe, because

513
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: don't swerve off the road, because you've got a potential

514
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: to the public hearing start for the impeachment. Oh yeah,

515
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 1: may be a shutdown. But the best thing about the

516
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: shutdown is it's up against Thanksgiving and all those lawmakers

517
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: want to go home, so maybe there won't be And

518
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: then the prospects are the finalization potentially of the U S.

519
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: China Phase one. Well, you know, the shutdown I think

520
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a risk for the you know,

521
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: for the country, because I don't think I don't think

522
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: Trump is gonna sign whatever they do pass if there's

523
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: no money for the wall. Remember, you know, he's he's made,

524
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: he's made those states. You know, he's now He made

525
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: a lot of promises when he ran for president. One

526
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 1: of those help was to bring Bob Levinson home from Iran,

527
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: the former FBI agent who's missing in Iran and just

528
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: the other day they announced a twenty million dollar reward

529
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: to help lead to his return. So Trump is now

530
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: now making sure they's going back to all his old

531
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: promises and that Wall is sticking with him. Also, can't

532
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: separate that from impeachment. It's all going to be bound

533
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: out a big, big mass. That's a good word for

534
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: it all. All right, time now for my favorite segment,

535
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: what's on the panel's radar? And Ryan Williams is going

536
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: first because Greta van Sustern just called him out and

537
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: point that point. It's like in a restaurant starting to

538
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: start at that side of the table. Here's the men,

539
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: go ahead, right, what's on your radar? Well? Look, I

540
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: attended an event today hosted by a number of different

541
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 1: groups IBM, interpool UM Stop Human Human Trafficking to unveil

542
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: a new tool to help track and and try to

543
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: stamp out human trafficking using artificial intelligence. And I think

544
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: when many people think about artificial intelligence, they think about

545
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: trying to sell you ads or track what you're doing

546
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: or your behavior. But this was a really interesting use

547
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: of the of technology to stop a real global problem

548
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: by analyzing news on the Internet, tweets, bank records transactions

549
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: to try to stamp it out, and I thought it

550
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: was it was It was a very interesting use that

551
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: people don't really think about with artificial intelligence, and kudos

552
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: to IBM and others for developed I have two follow

553
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: up questions. Is there is there a legislative role here

554
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: where the where they would need a legis of piece

555
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: of legislation or encouragement public private partnership type of thing. No,

556
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: it just needs the buy and of of you know,

557
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: financial institutions, and there were some there. Then you need

558
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: law enforcement that we had Cyrus Vans there today, the

559
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: District Attorney from Manhattan. You had Ambassador Richmond that that

560
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: that the chief human trafficking official at the State Department.

561
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: So it was a together absolutely because you know that's important.

562
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: We were This isn't really a question, but it's it's

563
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: a point, uh, when it comes to gun reform. You know,

564
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: wherever you are on that debate, we've talked about this

565
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: every time there's been one of those horrific tragedies. Artificial

566
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: intelligence is something that could really really get the support

567
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: of both parties, and it's applicable the same tools that

568
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: they're doing to stop human trafficking could be applicable to

569
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: to seeing who these people are that do these horrific tragedies.

570
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: So you know, there's a lot to be done there,

571
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: and they already do it for terrorists. So that's a

572
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: good one, right, Thanks for that, Joshua's on your radar.

573
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: On my radar is a piece of legislation that was

574
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: just introduced by two members of Congress from Silicon Valley,

575
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: the cradle of tech and innovation, uh Anna Sue and

576
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: so Loft Grin. They've introduced a bill very media bills,

577
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: something like a hundred thirty two pages to create an

578
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: agency to protect consumer privacy rights. So all of the

579
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: apps that we use, all the tech we use, we

580
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, the assumptions that nobody really knows where that

581
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: data is going or really giving informed consent, all the

582
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: problems we've read about on the front page over the

583
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: last many, however many years. They want to have an

584
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: agency to be that watchdog. Take it, you know, out

585
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: of the FTC and create this new freestanding agency. People

586
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: are calling it dead on arrival, that it won't pass.

587
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: I say, there's gonna be a lot of conversation about

588
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: this bill, and it's gonna help supercharge efforts to do

589
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: you think that that that there are are there other

590
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: other countries that have a similar agency that there are

591
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: definitely other other countries that that have Privacy is a

592
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 1: central role of looking out. We don't have that now.

593
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: We don't have a federal privacy law. We don't and

594
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: and you know, actually business wants that. Business wants to

595
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 1: know what the rules are. It's it's interesting because I

596
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: was literally earlier today at the Arena stage. There's a

597
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: show playing called The Right to Be Forgotten, and it

598
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: won a bunch of awards a couple of years ago.

599
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: And it's all about an individual's right to be forgotten

600
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: on the Internet and whether or not culturally that should

601
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: be applicable. And that's a conversation they've been having in

602
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: Europe for years. It's there right in California too, to

603
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: a certain extent. And and and even beyond my final

604
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 1: point on that would just be when you when you

605
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: think of the socio economic divide on that, how the

606
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: wealthy are able to be forgotten online but other folks aren't.

607
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot of interest in cultural implications kind of well, actually,

608
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: something's gonna ask whatever happened to Kim Jong on. But

609
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: what you brought up the whole privacy thing is the

610
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: congressman from California who resigned talked about what because on

611
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: the internet and the revenge porn or whatever. But I

612
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,000
