1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Why from our nations this budget thing is going to

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: do nothing space forts. I still think it's interesting President

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: Trump not playing his cards yet. Headlines Policy and politics

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: colliding Floomberg Sound on the insids, the influencers, the insides.

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: I would rather see a congressional solution. It's part of

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: my DNA. The Senate map in looks a lot different

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: than it looked in. President Trump was sent here to

8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: smash conventional norms in a sense, Bernie Sanders has already washed.

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Sound On with Kevin Surley on Bloomberg

Speaker 1: latest from the campaign trail. And this did you see

14
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: this be? Buddha g Edge and Amy Klobuchar are criticized

15
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: for skipping the black Voter event for Democrats. How's that

16
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: going to play out on the campaign trail? And we'll

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: dive into the week that was and one a week

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: it was Trade Dizzy ng. I'm still coming up for

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: that I did earlier today for Bloomberg Television with Senator

21
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: Mark Warner, Democrat from Virginia. He says he agrees with

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: one thing with President Trump's administration. On faalway, you don't

23
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: want to miss that. You've got an all star panel

24
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: here to dive into. Let's start with impeachment, uh, and

25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: the president's legal team and Edgutants here Bloomberg Politics editor,

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: have you come up for are yet? Uh? Let me

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: get to the end of today and then I will

28
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: say yes at your end of today and when the

29
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: show went depends on a background. Call it guy going

30
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: on right now. James Home and national political correspondent for

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: The Post and author of the Daily two oh two.

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: One of my actions I read it every day. Thank

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: you and UH, busy week for you crazy? But what

34
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: was your craziest part of the week. I think what

35
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: was amazing was the fact that usmc A passed minutes

36
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: before the Senate impeachment trial started, and and I really

37
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: just think it was kind of such a jarring extposition

38
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: between an eighty nine to ten vote to pass this

39
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: major trade agreement and then immediately going into the rancor

40
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: and partisanship of this the only the third impeachment trial

41
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: in US history. Yeah, it was, it was. And I

42
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: remember and David Marks here, he's the deputy he's the

43
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: deputy news editor at the Washington Examiner. I remember when

44
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: President Trump had all the CEOs at the White House

45
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: the beginning of the week and he was listening them

46
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: all off with with members of Congress in the Republican

47
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: Party for US China Phase one laha Vice Premier China

48
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: is in there. And he actually got a note from

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: Secretary Manution on the podium, David Mark, deputy editor at

50
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: the Washington Examiner, and it was an alert that the

51
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: lawmakers in the East Room they had to go to

52
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: a vote on impeachment to be present for it. I mean,

53
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: it was just that it was such a like illustration

54
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: of this particular moment in America and takes a certain

55
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: amount of compartmentalizing, as Bill Clinton put it back during

56
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: his impeachment days, to be able to pivot from one

57
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: thing to another literally within minutes of each other sometimes.

58
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: And you mentioned Clinton impeachment. Let's talk about Kent Starr.

59
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: There's a name for you, Anna, the president's legal team.

60
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: What do we know break it down for us? Yeah,

61
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: so we got three new names for the president's legal

62
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: team today, Alan dershowitz Kin Star and Robert ray Um,

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: And you know, this kind of gets Trump one of

64
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: the things that he was looking for, and that is

65
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 1: a robust, made for TV defense that is not just

66
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: for the Senate Chamber but also for the viewers back home.

67
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: All along he has said he wants to use the

68
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: Senate trial as a way to present his case, clear

69
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: his name, dismiss what he would call bogus charges from

70
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: the House. And you know, this is the team to

71
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: do it. He's seen them on TV and this is

72
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: what he's going to want them to kind of do

73
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: in the Senate Chamber is to say, you know, dismiss

74
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: this as absurd as the President thinks it is. Yeah.

75
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: One of the funniest moments today, wildest moments was Monica

76
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: Lewinsky tweeting right after official announced that Ken Starr was

77
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: going to be representing the president to say, this is

78
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: one of those days I can't believe what's happening is happening,

79
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: and and it is a blast from the past, and

80
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: it is a reflection of kind of the reality TV

81
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: show presidency. One of the things that we saw yesterday

82
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: was there was a lot of somberness. There was, you know,

83
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: the pomp and circumstance of this trial that it was

84
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: for sure, but that's but it was such a juxtaposition

85
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: to the house my point. And and Donald Trump wants

86
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: for a while. I think he's wanted the fight. He

87
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: he appreciates the people who are kind of fighting hard

88
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: for him. Mitch McConnell has not wanted that a lot

89
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: of the Republican senators haven't wanted this to devolve into

90
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: a circus like atmosphere. And so the tension that we're

91
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: seeing and that, and I think that getting the names

92
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: of these defense attorneys shows the tension we're going to

93
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: see next week is between sort of what a lot

94
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: of the institutionalist Republicans in the Senate want and what

95
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: Trump and in his supporters want, which is sort of

96
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: smash mouth. They're they're playing they know they have the

97
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: votes to acquit him, They're trying to play for public

98
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: opinion in their base. I think it's a remarkable, David,

99
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: when when you look at the dynamics of where we're

100
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: headed here, and really the only question that I've been

101
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: asking lawmakers in both parties is how long is this

102
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: trial going to be because is it going to end

103
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: before the President's State of the Union address, or is

104
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: it going to be this remarkable moment the day after

105
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: the Iowa caucuses on February three, or the President's there

106
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: and the Supreme Court justices might not be there because

107
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: they didn't show up to Bill Clinton's Supreme Court or

108
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: they didn't show up to Bill Clinton's State of the

109
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: Union address following the last impeachment. As a as a

110
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: good source reminded me earlier today, and will will it happen?

111
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 1: I mean, when will it end? Well? The conventional wisdom

112
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: has been that it would be a short trial, as

113
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: short as potentially two weeks or so. But naming these

114
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: empeagement counsels for the Trump team suggests, as James said,

115
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: that it's more performance are than legal argument. Of course,

116
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: you have Ken Starr, known for the Whitewater investigation, Alan Dershowitz,

117
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: who is only supposed to give an opening statement. It's

118
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,559
Speaker 1: another character. There also Robert Ray, who succeeded Kent Starr

119
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 1: as Independent Council and is one arguably who drew the

120
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: most legal blood from Bill Clinton. He actually got him

121
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: to agree to forfeiting his law license for a number

122
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: of years, paying some court fines in agreement for not

123
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: indicting him right when he became a private citizen in

124
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: January two thousand one. So there's some real lingery history there,

125
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: and we're going to see the first kind of opening

126
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: salvo of that this weekend when we get some of

127
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: the deadlines for the trial documents that both the Trump

128
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: defense team and the House prosecutors the impeachment managers are

129
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: going to have to file. So by five pm tomorrow

130
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: we could get the first trial brief from the seven

131
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: members of the House of Representatives prosecuting the case, and

132
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: then by six pm we will probably see the first

133
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: response from the White House to the to the Senate

134
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: summons for the trial. But what are we going to

135
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: get anything new in these documents? The question that I

136
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: am looking to answer is whether or not they include

137
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: the evidence from Love Parnas. You know, that's the associate

138
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: of Rudy Giuliani who was indicted for um for uh

139
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: was it financial crimes or campaign finance? That's what it

140
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: was and um he So we have we have all

141
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: these new documents, text messages, voicemails from him that have

142
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: come out this week, and if that's included in the

143
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: House trial brief, that indicates that they're using more information

144
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: to back up their charges, and they've had when they

145
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: actually voted on the articles of peach. So that's in

146
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: terms of the legal documents, James, what about in terms

147
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: of the in terms of whether or not there's really

148
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: any risk of Republicans breaking it sounds like Republicans have

149
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: a better chance of recruiting Joe Manchin to join them

150
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: than of their being any Republicans joining someone like Doug Jones.

151
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: It's easy to forget he's in the Senate, James Friday Fire,

152
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: I didn't say it. If you're listening, go out senator drugs.

153
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,119
Speaker 1: That wasn't me. No when on the to your question, Kevin,

154
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: it really depends on the witnesses. That's the big wild

155
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: card right now. And to David's point that it also

156
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 1: is what impacts timing. So if they're trying to follow

157
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: the Bill Clinton model from you can wrap up in

158
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: two weeks if you don't have witnesses, but if you do,

159
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: that's going to add another five to ten days, yes

160
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: or no witnesses or no witnesses and not what you want.

161
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: Whether there was I think I think that there will

162
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: end up being pressure yes or no, yes witnesses yes

163
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: or no, depends on the package they put together. You know,

164
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: if it's it's gonna be it's gonna be a tough

165
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: vote for even something that happens when um well, two

166
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: weeks from after the White House and House present their

167
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: opening arguments. So depending on how long they set out

168
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: for a panel stays up next. What do Hillary Clinton

169
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: and Taylor Swift have in come? And I'm Kevin CEREALI

170
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: Chief Washington corresponded from Bloomberg TV and Radio. This is Bloomberg.

171
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: You're listening to Bloomberg Sound On with Kevin Surley on

172
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: Bloomberg and one oh five point seven f MHD two.

173
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: I want people to take their vote really, really seriously,

174
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: because Lord knows what will happen if we don't retire

175
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: as a current incumbent. And his henchman, as Nancy Pelosi

176
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: so well described him, that was Hillary Clinton, the former

177
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: Democratic presidential nominee. Back in she was speaking in Pasadena, California.

178
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: She's got a new documentary out of roll documentary on

179
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: Hulu called Hillary, and so does Taylor Swift on Netflix.

180
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: According to the Instagram. It's the new podcast Everyone podcast

181
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: Now everyone has a Netflix or exactly which we'll get

182
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: a larger audience. Oh, I don't know. I'm Kevin Sirelichief

183
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: watching the correspondent for Broomberg TV and Radio James Holman

184
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: that he chimed in first. He's the national political correspondent

185
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 1: for the Post and he's the author of cord to

186
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: the Daily. Two to David Mark, deputy news editor at

187
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: the Washington Examiner, and Anna Edgerton Bloomer Politics Center. I'll

188
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: put you on the spot. Anna, who which David posed

189
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 1: the question? We can talk about it. Who's going to

190
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: watch more Hillary on Hulu or Taylor on Netflix. I

191
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: am the least qualified person to answer this. And you

192
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: know this about me that I don't engage in pop culture.

193
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: He's always like, what are you watching? I was like,

194
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: I have Netflix, I'm reading books. I'm a loser and

195
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: I'll watch both. Okay, because that's wet hold it again,

196
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: Thank you, David Um. Okay. Another crazy thing that we'll

197
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: talk about coming up was l s U was at

198
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: the White House and President Trump talk about weird juxtapositions

199
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: with trade policy and then impeachment. President Trump at the

200
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: White House talking about football and then talking about impeachment.

201
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: So what a weird Friday, Hillary and Taylor Swift if

202
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: l s U and Trump and impeachment anyway, But I

203
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: do want to talk about US China trade policy, and

204
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: coming up, I'm gonna play my interview with Senator Mark Warner,

205
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: he's a Democrat from Virginia, really about where the China

206
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: story goes next and James Home and you cover this

207
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: in the Post as well as in your new daily newsletter.

208
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: And I think that on issues of national security as

209
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: it relates to China, Huawei five G, there is so

210
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: much unity and you're going to hear that coming up

211
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: from Senator Mark Warner. And I'm curious whether or not

212
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: you're hearing from your reporting from your sources that Phase

213
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: two of the U. S. China Trade Deal would happen

214
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: before an election or waiting until after it will be.

215
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: I I interviewed Pat to me this night, the only

216
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: Republican senator who voted no on U S M c

217
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: A at nine Democrats to including Bernie Sanders. And it

218
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: was interesting because I asked to me that question, and uh,

219
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: and he you know, he's someone who kind of actually

220
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: is supports the president on China, supports taking a hard

221
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: line and believes that because he described China as a

222
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: revisionist power, that that makes it imperative to insist on

223
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: including some of that stuff in in any kind of agreement.

224
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: And people can go to the Washington Post dot com

225
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: to to read that interview that James had with Senator

226
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: Pat To me, a Republican from Pennsylvania, why was he

227
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: against U S m c A. He Uh, he thought

228
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: it really hurt the automobile industry. And he also was

229
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: really upset because it has a sunset window, and so

230
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: he says that's going to create uncertainty and it's gonna

231
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: hurt business investment because in twelve years we're gonna have

232
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: to go through this whole process again. As they start

233
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: the process, I think it's actually sixteen years for renegotiating it,

234
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: and that that's going to have this kind of the

235
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: cloud of uncertainty. He also felt like it the a

236
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: lot of the labor protections in Mexico. He thinks we'll

237
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: make cars cost more for for people two words, Jack Kemp.

238
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: He's trying to inherit. Arguably the Jack kempion economic wing

239
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: of the Republican Party in the long term, he's got

240
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: a tough reelection fight. No, he doesn't, he's Casey has

241
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: a tough re election fight. Uh. That'll be interesting to

242
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: see how that dynamic plays out and Edgerton as you

243
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: look to the policy stories of where the trade story

244
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: goes next. Annie Quinn on Bloomberg Television had a great

245
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: interview earlier this week with the European Trade Commissioner Phil

246
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: Hogan and Europe. From my the sources that I talked to,

247
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: Europe is really in the hot seat, even more likely

248
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: arguably than a US China Phase two. Yeah, especially when

249
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: it gets to the tariffs that the Trump administration has

250
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: threatened to put on some European goods. You know, we

251
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: could have more expensive wine here, which is never a

252
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: good thing. Um. So, you know, we've seen how the

253
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: President has really likes to use trade as kind of

254
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 1: a blunt policy tool. He used tariffs to accomplish other

255
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: other objectives to you know, use as a threat against

256
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,599
Speaker 1: allies and adversaries alike. So it's you know, it's a

257
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 1: tool that the President likes to use, and it's also

258
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: one that makes traditional Republicans very uncomfortable, like pat to me,

259
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, they're nervous about the market intervention, about kind

260
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: of the government run direction of U. S. Trade policy,

261
00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: and would much rather prefer, you know, free markets, free trade.

262
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: And there's just not much space for those people in

263
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: the Republican Party anymore. Right, Pad to Senator to me

264
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania is kind of coming at this issue from

265
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: the right. He is a doctrinaire free trader for for

266
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: a couple of carve outs in the state of Pennsylvania,

267
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: but most importantly for the Trump administration and specifically the

268
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: Trump reelection campaign. This is a promise, has made, promises

269
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: kept type of moment. They're not going to get into

270
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: the intricacies of foreign trade policy. They're just gonna say

271
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: Trump said he would do it, and he followed through.

272
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: And for his supporters, that's what they need to hear.

273
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: And the key is the farm belt, you know, one

274
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: of them. I actually thought the most interesting exchange during

275
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: the Democratic debate, which we haven't even mentioned. There was

276
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: a Democratic debate. The craziest part of that debate was

277
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: Bernie that and that's what everyone will remember. And that's

278
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: but there was actually and this is a there was

279
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: a substantific change on trade, and Bernie Sanders said he

280
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: was against the deal. Every other Democrat on stage supported it.

281
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: And the reason they supported it, even as liberal Democrats,

282
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: even despite the Democratic Party's history of protectionism, is because

283
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: farmers in Iowa are getting squeezed, they're getting hurt, They've

284
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: been hit hard by these tariffs, and so any kind

285
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: of the anything that can lessen the pressure on these

286
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: voters who frankly, you know, voted in many cases for

287
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: Barack Obama and then voted for Donald Trump. These are

288
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: the kinds of voters that will decide a bunch of

289
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: these Midwestern states. And so that's why you have Pennsylvania,

290
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: That's why you have in Pennsylvania and come from that

291
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: part of the where exactly where those swing voters who

292
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: voted for Obama and then Trump. So yeah, you're right. Yeah.

293
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: One of one of vote that really surprised me on

294
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: the U. S. M c A, you know, the New

295
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: NAPTA deal was Chuck Schumer voting against it. And the

296
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: reason it right exactly and close not only voting for it,

297
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: but holding it up as a kind of the future

298
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: of you know, how to negotiate trade deals from here

299
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: on out. They had managed to get some major concessions

300
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: from the Trump white House, especially on labor. But the

301
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: reason that Chuck Schumer gave for voting against it was

302
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: client met which was also the reason that Bernie Sanders

303
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: voted against it. So having the kind of Sanders Schumer

304
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: team up against the Pelosi deal, it's so interesting because

305
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: quickly Schumer is concerned about a primary challenge from his

306
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: left in two Alexandrio Casio Cortez, someone that keeps Chuck

307
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: Schumer up at night. And and so it was one

308
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: of the other nine Democrats who voted no was Ed Markey,

309
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: who's facing a primary challenge from Joe Kennedy the third

310
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. And that's a reflection of that tension. So

311
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: this is why everyone needs to read the Daily two

312
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: or two because James Holman is like the Washington Post

313
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: and Edgerton that's what that's coming up. David Mark is here,

314
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: James Holman is here, and Edgerton is here. I'll stick

315
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: around as well. Uh, you're gonna hear from Senator Mark Warner,

316
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: Democrat from Virginia. And what he had to tell me

317
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: earlier today on Bloomberg TV was really he was speaking

318
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: more out of Pelosi's playbook than Schumers on the issue

319
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: of trade, and he was hopeful that a lot of

320
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: these trade deals UH from this week will be the

321
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: foundation of the future and maybe rebuilding. This is Bloomberg

322
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: Sound On with Kevin curl on Bloomberg and one oh

323
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: five point seven MHD two. I'm Kevin Cirelli, Chief Washington

324
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: correspondent from Bloomberg TV and Radio. Earlier today on Bloomberg Television,

325
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: I spoke with Senator Mark Warner, He's a Democrat from Virginia,

326
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: and we talked about a new piece of legislation that

327
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: he has with Chairman of the Intelligence Committee, Richard Burr,

328
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: who UH and he's the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee.

329
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: They have a new bipartisan bill out on Llaway and

330
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: asked him what it would do take a listen five

331
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: G and the issue of Walway has been over the

332
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: last year plus a bipartisan issue. This is one area

333
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: where there's a lot of us that are in agreement

334
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: with the administration. We have to prevent Walway from dominating

335
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: the five gen marketplace, and if we simply allow the

336
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: market to play out, they'll end up with sixt What

337
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: we not been able to offer our allies and even

338
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 1: small telcos in America that purchased Wallway. Is even if

339
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: you're convinced Walways a national security issue, what is the alternative?

340
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 1: China has put up close to a hundred billion dollars

341
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: to back Wallway, which allowed which has got pretty good equipment.

342
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: It also allows them to then price that equipment not

343
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: on a market basis, and offer enormously attractive financing plans.

344
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: What we have to somehow get is a over the

345
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: next five years to the next generation of telephony and

346
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: what's called Open Radio Access Network and o RAN network.

347
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: We in our legislation would put up over a billion

348
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: dollars to support that kind of development and that kind

349
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: of international effort to finance the ability to go head

350
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 1: to head with w Where does the money come from? Where? Where?

351
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: Because tax this money would come from an auction of

352
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: certain spectrum that should be again allocated to five G.

353
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: Currently there are a series of satellite carriers that have

354
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: this spectrum. We have to get them to give up

355
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: that spectrum, and that legislation is also moving forward. And

356
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 1: then the proceeds, some of the proceeds would go to

357
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: build out broadband. Some of this would just say, how

358
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: do we develop a Western, not just American, but Western

359
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: alternative to Walway Over the next five years, we believe

360
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: that will be an O N network. In the meantime,

361
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: we've got to do more to shore up those competitors

362
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: to Walway, the Swedish company Eric's In, the Finnish company Nokia,

363
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: and the Korean company Samsung. I'm struck by this because

364
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: right now Germany has a tough decision to make. China's

365
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: trying to make inroads in German markets. They're pushing whale

366
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: hard and the Germans haven't decided. So what's what's what's

367
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: the US message to European knowledge. Well, not only Germany,

368
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: but our closest allies, the Brits are making this decision

369
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: as well. They have Walway equipment. I think most of

370
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: their security apparatus realize it's not a good long term

371
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: solution to have your whole network dependent on a on

372
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: a pure Chinese supplier, in particularly supplier like Wallway that

373
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: has such close ties to the Communist Party. But what

374
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: you have to say to the Germans or the Brits

375
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: or others is, all right, what's the alternative? Will that

376
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: alternative be able to compete in terms of not just

377
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: five G, but six G and next generation technology, and

378
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: can we move this away from kind of a single stack,

379
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: single provider to a more open based software driven systems.

380
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: That's where the West can compete. That's what Iran will

381
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: build us as a bridge to and the fact that

382
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: our government with this legislation would make that kind of

383
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: down payment that I hope would also spur other development

384
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: from other Western nations who don't want to rely on

385
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: China timetable and of the year. My sense is this

386
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: is the kind of legislation that needs to pass sooner

387
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: than later because until we have a plan not just

388
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: coming out of America but for the West rit large,

389
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: always going to continue to win. For the election I

390
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: absolutely has to be before the election of McConnell's every

391
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: month that goes on another country because they don't feel

392
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: that if there's a viable Western alternative. There's no American

393
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: provider already, but there's not even a viable Western alternative,

394
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: it's going to turn to Walwley. If we can put

395
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: together the kind of organized plan, I think the West

396
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: would sign up and I think we could actually stop

397
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: what would be a major national security issue just greatly

398
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: on impeachment. What's the next in this step in this process?

399
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: Trial is gonna begin early next week. The issue of witnesses.

400
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 1: When do we find out that, once and for all

401
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: they're gonna be witnesses. Well, I think there'll be a

402
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: series of votes early next week around witnesses. I think

403
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 1: it's important that we hear from these individuals, particularly that

404
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: have firsthand knowledge. They can clear the president or provide

405
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: information otherwise I would think the president would actually want

406
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 1: them to speak. Chances are my Republican colleagues will not

407
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: vote for witnesses early on, But once both sides have

408
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: had a chance to make the presentation and we get

409
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: a chance to ask some questions, I think we will

410
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: revisit that issue. But York is as good as your

411
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: guess is as good as mine. Whether that's two weeks away,

412
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: three weeks away. Before we had that second vote, that

413
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: was Senator Mark Warner, a Democrat from Virginia, talking about

414
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: paway and of course talking about the impeachment. I'm Kevin Cirelli,

415
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: chief Washington correspondent from Bloomber TV and Radio. David Mark

416
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: is here, Deputy news editor at the Washington Examiner, James Holman,

417

418
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: the Daily to Otoo and Anna Edgerton, Bloomberg Politics editor

419
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: who filed that interview was playing, told me a fun

420
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: fact about the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Richard Burr. Yeah.

421
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: His his father was the one who baptized me at

422
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: First Presbyterian Church and was in Salem, North Carolina. Wait,

423
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: so Richard Burr's dad baptized you? Yeah, he was a

424
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: pastor at First Risbyterian. Do you ever run a name? How? How?

425
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: I don't really remember? It was by chance? But was

426
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: it by chance? Um? And he was just he was

427
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: the pastor at the church that we went to. And

428
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: I so things I also learned. Richard Burrow is the

429
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: son of a pastor. Yeah, you know who else is

430
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: the is the child of a pastor. My good friend

431
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: Nancy Lyons, who does our news breaks here, did not

432
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: know that for this program. Yeah. So you know things

433
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: you learn turning into uh radio sout on All right,

434
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the I want to pivot

435
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: here and talk about the state of play. James, your

436
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: head to Iowa tomorrow and you're gonna be what are

437
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: you gonna be looking for. This is the last weekend

438
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: that the senators get to campaign, and so it's it's

439
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: there's kind of a sprint. They're trying to get in

440
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: as many events as they can. So I'm gonna front

441
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 1: load on the Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and Amy

442
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: Klobuchar and then backload next week. Pete Boodhy Judge and

443
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: Joe Biden are both trying to capitalize on the fact

444
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: that their rivals are going to be stuck here, and

445
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 1: I want to get a sense kind of on the ground.

446
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: These issues have become so nationalized. This is my four

447
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: presidential campaign, covering it full time, and what is fourth fourth?

448
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: We've been doing this for sixteen years. Oh wait, yeah, wow,

449
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. See I came in when you were

450
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: at Politico right at the end of it. I had

451
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: just when I moved to d C. It was right

452
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: before elections, so I don't even I don't really consider

453
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: myself that I covered that. So I did. To me,

454
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: this is my second. It was comparatively really, but compared

455
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: to oh eight and twelve and even sixteen. What you're

456
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 1: seeing is these elections have become so nationalized. So it

457
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,719
Speaker 1: used to be When you were in Iowa, people watched

458
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: local news, you know, and they got there, they kind

459
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: of they read the local paper. And now everyone is

460
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: kind of people pay a lot more attention to these

461
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: national stories. And so it'll be interesting to see how

462
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: people are watching impeachment next week in Iowa and whether

463
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: it really matters that the people aren't around and what

464
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: those events, uh make a difference. One of the reason

465
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: I have is that Amy Clobachar is the senator who's

466
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: going to get hurt most by impeachment because uh, Warren

467
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: and Sanders both have very strong on the ground organizations.

468
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: They also have a lot more money, so they've been

469
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: able to invest in those Amy Clobachar isn't hitting fifteen

470
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: percent in the polls the Minnesota Center, it's right next door.

471
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: If she can't do well in Iowa, her campaign is over.

472
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,959
Speaker 1: And if you don't get fifteen percent in these precincts

473
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: at the caucus is you're considered not quote viable, and

474
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: so you don't get any delegates. So that's why I

475
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: think she's potentially really hurt by not being able to

476
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: be there during this home stress. And just we were

477
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: talking about this earlier in the week and and the

478
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: fifteen percent viability is so important. Iowans go into a caucus,

479
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: let's say a high school gym on the first ballot.

480
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 1: If you don't hit the fifteen percent threshold on the

481
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: first ballot, you're off for the second ballot. And how

482
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: many ballots are there as many as many as it

483
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: takes to get a majority. And so if you're Amy

484
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: club charing, you have fourteen percent? Where do Amy Cloba

485
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: charge supporters go on the second ballot? And that's what

486
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: to when people talk about viability. That's why it matters

487
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: so much. What are you watching for, David, I'm watching

488
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: for actually. Also in Iowa, the Democratic Party there is

489
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: has added a new counting procedure which sounds really in

490
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: the weeds and a little boring, but it could be

491
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: nocial on election night there. In addition to looking at

492
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: the totals you were just describing the net delegates, etcetera,

493
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: they're also counting raw vote totals, which could give candidates

494
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: who don't finish on top a chance to say, you

495
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: know what we really want and to clear multiple candidates

496
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: the winner. I'm not sure the Iowa Democratic Party quite

497
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: knows what it's getting itself into. In this case, I'm

498
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: not sure Americans are known what they're getting themselves into.

499
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: You know why, because I think that we we for

500
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: all these rules and diving in the weeds or the

501
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,479
Speaker 1: Iowa cornfields and the Sydeans. It really comes down there

502
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: who won, who got the most votes. That's of people

503
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: tuning in that night. They want to know, and that's

504
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: the moment of the big mojo coming up. What's on

505
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: the panel's radar plus L s U and Donald Trump

506
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: at the White House. What happens find out next? I'm

507
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: Kevin SERELLI. You're listening to Bloomberg. This is Bloomberg's sound

508
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: on with Kevin Surreley on Bloomberg one and one oh

509
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: five point seven f M h D two. Nickoll called

510
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: me a liar on National's movie. I think he called

511
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: me a liar on National movie. Let's not do it

512
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: right now. You want to have that discussion, We'll have

513
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: that discussion. You called Meland, you told Lee all right,

514
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: let's not the work. I still can't stop listening to

515
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: this and watching this. That of course was from the

516
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: debate earlier this week in De Moine, which feels like

517
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: a year ago, but after the debate when when Bernie

518
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: went in for the handshake and Senator Warren said no,

519
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: and then the whole thing happened. We know what happened next.

520
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: I'm Kevin Sereli, Chief Washington correspondent with Bloomberg TV and Radio.

521
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: David Mark is here, he's the deputy news editor for

522
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: the Washington Examiner. And Edgerton is also here, Bloomberg Politics editor.

523
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: James Holman, national political correspondent for Washington Post, author of

524
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: the Daily two oh two. All right, it's been a

525
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: couple of days since that exchange. James, who who one

526
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: who lost? Didn't have any effects or not? It's I

527
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: think it is too soon to say. I hate to

528
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: say that. I think I was very fluid, but I

529
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it helped either of them. I don't think,

530
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,479
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think Bernie has been hurt as

531
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: much as some people thought earlier in the week. I

532
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: don't think this is going to help Warren peel off

533
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: uh kind of liberal women who supported Sanders, which I

534
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: think was part of the theory of the case behind

535
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: doing all of this, and and I think Warren was

536
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: kind of trying to get it. It kind of raises

537
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: more questions about her credibility in some ways, especially after

538
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: the Native American fiasco. What you know is is she

539
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: telling the truth? Sanders says she's not. And it's one

540
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: of those that would be the Republican narrative attacking her. Uh.

541
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: And it sort of did open up a Pandora's box

542
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: where you have a lot of Sanders supporters now kind

543
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: of vociferously criticizing her. Uh and and so's I think

544
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,479
Speaker 1: it actually has made it harder for Warden to present

545
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: herself as the unity candidate. Alright, So now we're gonna

546
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: do what's on the panel's radar, where the panel tells

547
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: us one thing that they're that they're looking at. What

548
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: are you looking at? James? And you're going to Iowa tomorrow.

549
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: I'm going to if for the next several days. South

550
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: Carolina is is, you know, not the first early state.

551
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: And one of the things that's interesting is speaking of

552
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, he got blown out there by Hillary Clinton

553
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: the beginning of the end of his campaign in was

554
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: I think he lost by like forty points in the

555
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: South Carolina primary after winning in New Hampshire by like

556
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: twenty points. So Sanders has invested a lot of time

557
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: and money and resources and trying to make inroads among

558
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: African Americans in South Carolina. There are signs that it's working.

559
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: Biden Joe Biden has an overwhelming advantage among African Americans,

560
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: would certainly win the South Carolina primary if it was today.

561
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: But Sanders is using the kind of last weekend to

562
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: go to South Carolina. He's having a bunch of events

563
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: in the black community on Monday. And what I'm struck

564
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: by his Amy Clobachar and Pete Buddha Judge all in

565
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: on Iowa. They're not sort of making that diversion to

566
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: South Carolina right now because to skip an African American

567
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: event on Martin Luther King Day in South Carolina. Absolutely wow.

568
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: But if if if Boodhy Judge loses in Iowa, if

569
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: he finishes fourth in Iowa, it almost doesn't matter. It's

570
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: so it is. It just reflects that he's really you know, Clobachar,

571
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: Buddha Judge are going all in on Iowa. And what's

572
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: interesting about New Hampshire. You know, you have Bernie Sanders

573
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: and Elizabeth Warren both represents states that border New Hampshire.

574
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: It's a liberal electorate. And so if if whoever, whichever

575
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: of those two loses in New Hampshire, their campaign is

576
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: essentially going to be done. James Holman is who you

577
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: want to have lunch with, coffee with a beer with,

578
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: if you drink about politics, because you I mean, he

579
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: knows everything about out every single Solidary. He's like the

580
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: next Mike Allan. Every time I'm in his president I

581
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: just I'm like, James Holmon's gonna run Washington And well,

582
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: are you know anyway? All right, David Mark, what's on

583
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: your radar? Thank you, James. That was a nice way

584
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: of complimenting you with without finishing the I'm really going

585
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: to compliment it. Go ahead looking at something that's a

586
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: little bit below the radar screens. But the many of

587
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: the campaigns are still focusing on. This is actually going

588
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: all the way out to March third, Super Tuesday, and

589
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: how to actually win delegates in the super states of

590
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: California and Texas. It's not just majority wins. It's going

591
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 1: in California, Casa California by congressional district. In Texas it's

592
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: by state senate district. It's a very convoluted process in

593
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: which you can get the most votes statewide still come

594
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: up well short in delegates. That happened with Hillary Clinton

595
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and eight in several of these states.

596
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: So I think they really smart campaigns to the degree

597
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: they have the resources they're trying to plan ahead for this.

598
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: That's one. That's a great one. And in terms of

599
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: how how long things are gonna last, all right, and

600
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: a time, what's on your radar if I could have

601
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: a little bit of a more near term radar, I'm

602
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: looking tomorrow for these deadlines for impeachment documents. Um, you know,

603
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: I cover Congress, so it's kind of all impeachment next

604
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: week for me. And the way that the Senate trial

605
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: shapes up is probably not going to affect the ultimate outcome.

606
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: You know, we do expect Trump to be acquitted by

607
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: the majority Republican Senate, but you know, it is important

608
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: for the president's reelection campaign how he comes across. You know,

609
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: also for senators running for re election. It's also important

610
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: for how the House is cases prosecuted because you have

611
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: a lot of House Democrats who are going to be

612
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: vulnerable on impeachment when they get back to their swing

613
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: districts to run for re election. So there's a lot

614
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: at stake politically for this, even if not kind of judicially.

615
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: So um, you know, these documents will be the kind

616
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: of opening salvo for that and we'll see how it

617
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: plays out. All right, what's all my radar? And then

618
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna have some fun. By the way, Breaking had

619
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: breaking new headline over the Bloomberg terminal ex Congressman Collins.

620
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: Chris Collins just got twenty six months of prison time

621
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: for insider trading Republican from from New York. So he's

622
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: gotten twenty six months in jail. That's not what's all

623
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: my radar? Uh? Sorry Collins. Um, it's Davos and you

624
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: gotta tune into Bloomer. No one does Davos coverage better

625
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: than Bloomberg TV and radio, down to the cocktails that

626
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: are down to the jackets that fancy s fancy colleagues

627
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: get for covering Doavars where never mind u um Friday

628
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: Friday fund But anyway, headlines President Trump is still likely

629
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: going to attend Davos. He has skipped it in the past,

630
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: and the CBS News headline says President Trump expected to

631
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: attend the summit in Davos and likely to meet with

632
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: the Iraqi president. So that meaning happens. I mean, you know,

633
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: given the dynamics of foreign policy, it could be interesting.

634
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: And then the headline in the Bloomberg Terminal by my

635
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: colleague Michael Winfrey Davos Elite take on climate with Greta's help.

636
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: Not gretivn Sustern, who you know we love on this show,

637
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: but with Gretta Thornberg, who of course is the young

638
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: person who has you know, Time Person of the Year,

639
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: has a better resume than anyone of us at the

640
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: age of not even eight anyway, but Davos and how

641
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: the president's reception is on that seriously, all kidding aside

642
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: that meeting with the Iraqi president could prove to be

643
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: incredibly influential as the situation with the Ron continues to

644
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: to intensify. All right, did the Radar L s U

645
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: at the White House today? Wow? So President Trump with

646
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: the L s U. You know, they won the national championship.

647
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: Take a listen to what the President had to say

648
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: with L s U right there in the background. We'll

649
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: take pictures behind the Resolute Desk. It's been there a

650
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: long time, a lot of presidents, some good, some not

651
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: so good. But you got a good one now, even

652
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: though they're trying to impeach the son of him. Can

653
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: you believe you know? I ever heard a conversation in

654
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: the news room earlier about whether or not we can

655
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: use words like that in our copy, and I didn't

656
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: realize it was a quote from the president about himself.

657
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: Play it one more time, Play it one more time.

658
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: Go ahead, we'll take pictures behind the resolute desk. It's

659
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 1: been there a long time, a lot of presidents, some good,

660
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: some not so good. But you got a good one now,

661
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: even though they're trying to impeach the son of a

662
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:34,759

00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: hard break? What was what was more impactful? That quote

665
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,279
