We'll get 20 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: to that too, but first let's gotta check in the 21 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: headlines from my good friend Nancy lions Nants, Thanks Kevin. 22 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: President Trump is denying an Atlantic report that says he 23 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: canceled a visit to a French cemetery where American troops 24 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 1: are buried, saying, why should I go to that cemetery? 25 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: It's filled with losers. Now, it was a fake story 26 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: written by a magazine that was probably not going to 27 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: be around much longer. His former National Security advisor, John 28 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: Bolton tells Bloomberg Radio. To him, the Atlantic story is believable. 29 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: I have not heard anybody say that the remarks attributed 30 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: to him, which I'll just repeat, I did not hear, 31 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: but I I have not heard anybody say, oh, that 32 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: doesn't sound like the Donald Trump. I know. Democratic presidential 33 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: hopeful Joe Biden says it is disgraceful if the reports 34 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: of the President's comments are true. The coronavirus pandemic is 35 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: impacting the University of Maryland athletic program is Bloomberg's Amy 36 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: Morris reports the school is suspending all athletic activities. The 37 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: athletic department brought student athletes back to campus in June 38 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: four summer workouts and has been periodically testing them.

The University of 42 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: Maryland resumed classes this week, many of them online.

The Washington football team is 46 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: releasing running back Adrian Peterson. ESPNS Diana Rossini says his 47 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: age was the issue. Talking to a source in Washington 48 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: right now, and he said, for us, it's really just 49 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: because we like our younger guys. It's really just about 50 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: an age thing for us and the fit, and for us, 51 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: it's time to move on. Peterson is thirty five years old. 52 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: On Wall Street, it was a down day. The DAL 53 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: fell a hundred and fifty nine points to twenty eight thousand, 54 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 1: one thirty three.

Global News twenty four hours a day on 57 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: air and on Bloomberg Quick Take, powered by more than 58 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: twenty journalists and analysts in more than a hundred twenty countries. 59 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: Nancy A lions back to you, Kevin. Thank you, Nancy. 60 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: My name is Kevin Surly. I'm the chief Washington correspondent 61 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: for Bloomberg Television and for Bloomberg Radio. A wicked day 62 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: on Wall Street as the pickup in US employment complicates 63 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: talks on fiscal stimulus, and plus the SMP five hundred 64 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: posting their worst week since June. We have complete policy 65 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: coverage and the political fallout coming up throughout the program. 66 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: But I want to begin with the special conversation with 67 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: someone who knows a thing or two about how Washington 68 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: and Wall Street collide, and that is, of course, a 69 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: man who needs no introduction. His name is David reuben Stein. 70 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: He is the founder and co executive chairman of the 71 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: Carlyle Group. He is also the host of The David 72 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: Rubinstein Show on Bloomberg Television. And he's got this great 73 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: new book called How to Lead Wisdom from the world's 74 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 1: greatest CEOs, founders and game changers. And what he did 75 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: was he took the TV show on Bloomberg Television and 76 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: turned it into a book that chronicles some of America's 77 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: greatest leaders. Take a listen to our conversation. All of 78 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: them are people that know how to share the credit. 79 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: They all overcame um, I would say, problems in their 80 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: in their life because they all had failed at something 81 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: or another, couldn't succeeded everything they did, and they all, 82 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: in the end, I think, learned how to create people 83 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: to follow them by being a really effective leader in 84 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: whatever they did. They master the skill and they had 85 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: other people follow them. And I want to thank you 86 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: at Bloomberg for helping make this possible, because my show 87 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: on Bloomberg is really what led to the book. Virtually 88 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: all of the interviews were done originally on peer to 89 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: peer on Bloomberg TV, and then I've edited and down 90 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: a little bit with the help of the people I 91 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: interviewed with the interviewed and then I summarize them a 92 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: little bit. So really, Bloomberg is very much involved in 93 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: the book, and you know, I think it's it's fascinating 94 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: just to see your background. Of course, you also of 95 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: course wrote the American Story. And where do you find 96 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: time to write? I mean, where do you find time 97 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: to do all of these things given your your your 98 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: other job, which, of course with the Carlisle group, well, um, 99 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: I probably not that good an athletes, so I don't 100 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: probably spend that much time playing golf or or or tennis, 101 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: and um, you know this is what I do. I enjoy. 102 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: So when when you're doing the kind of things I'm doing, 103 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: I I don't think it's work. In other words, if 104 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: you love what you're doing, it's not work. I love 105 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: everything I'm doing. I'm now financially in a position where 106 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: I don't have to do anything, but I want to 107 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: do the things that give me the greatest pleasure. Interviewing 108 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: gives me a lot of pleasure. Writing a book gives 109 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 1: me a lot of pleasure, but not the reason I 110 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: wanted to do this book. Because I wanted to inspire 111 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: younger people to read about people who are leaders today 112 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: and say, yes, I could do what they did, and 113 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: I can figure out how to overcome obstacles, and I 114 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: would like to be a leader like these people. So 115 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: I hope that people will get that out of the book. 116 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: And I'm giving all the proceeds uh that the author 117 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: would get to the Johns Hopkins Children's Center. I'm on 118 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: the board of Johns Hopkins Medicine. I think at the 119 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: wonderful job, and I do think that it's a worthy cause. 120 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: You know, David, When I was looking at this book 121 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: and reading about it, one of the the you know, 122 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: I often think of one of a similar book, Profiles Encourage, 123 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: which of course was by JFK. When the Poets are launched, 124 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: many think helped him ascend to the political ranks. But 125 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: from your perspective, what are some of the nuanced tips 126 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: that people can apply in their day to day lives? 127 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: You know, I think of General mccraven saying, make your bed, 128 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: make your bed at every morning. What are some of 129 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: those daily tips and tidbits that people can can practically 130 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: implement in their day to day Try to focus on 131 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: one thing. Make one skill your own so you're the 132 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: master at it. So don't try to do everything at once. 133 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: Try to master one thing. Also, don't be upset if 134 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: something doesn't work out. You'll learn a lot from that. Also, 135 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: try to explain to other people what you're doing. You 136 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: can't be a leader without followers. You have to get 137 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: other people to follow you. And I also think you 138 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: should uh continuously read. People have to exercise their brain 139 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,559 Speaker 1: all the time of American college graduates never read another 140 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: book in their life after they graduate from college. Exercise 141 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: their brain. You've got to keep exercising your brain. Learn, learn, Learn. 142 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: In the end um, I do think that you have 143 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: to make your own luck a little bit. Luck is 144 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: very important, but you can make your luck by making 145 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: good contacts, by learning how to get along with people, 146 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: and by sharing the credit. Ronald Reagan famously said there's 147 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: no limit to what humans can accomplish if they're willing 148 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: to share the credit. And all right, what did you 149 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: learn from Lauren Michaels of Saturday Night Live. I learned 150 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: that here's a man for forty five years, he's been 151 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: producing one of the most popular TV shows, and he's 152 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: still as enthusiastic as he I imagine he was forty 153 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: five years ago. But he's also told me, and he 154 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: said in the book, humor has changed over the last 155 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: forty five years. Things that were funny twenty years ago 156 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: you can't make fun of today. So he's had to 157 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: evolve it all the time, and he has to keep 158 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: everybody's ego and check. He's got a lot of famous 159 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: people on that show, all of them think are the 160 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: most important person of the funniest person. But he's managed 161 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: to do that, and he's managed to do it. But 162 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: he says by listening to other people, he does he 163 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: takes the best ideas. He doesn't say, I'm Lauren Michael's 164 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: this is where we're gonna do it. He listens to 165 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: people for their ideas and he takes the best idea. 166 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: So he's quite impressive what he's achieved in that forty 167 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: five years. I think when I opened the book, I 168 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: went right to that chapter because I think, especially now 169 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: in an election cycle, everybody needs to laugh and it's 170 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: a fascinating. Look. All right, I got a couple more 171 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: people I want to go through. What about Condoleeza Rice? 172 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: What makes a good leader for Condoleeza Rice? Condo Lisa 173 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: Rice was somebody that grew up in a segregated South. 174 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: She went to the the University of Denver, and it turns 175 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: out her professor was actually Metelin Albright's father, and he 176 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: inspired her to go in foreign policy, and she ultimately 177 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: became very close to George W.

And 181 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: she's a person who I think has overcome a lot 182 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: of disadvantages. And she grew up in a segregated South. Uh. 183 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: The chances for an African American woman to become what 184 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,719 Speaker 1: she became were very, very limited when she was growing up. 185 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: And she's quite quite impressive, very smart, very charming, and 186 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: a really interesting person to interview.

What's one piece of advice that 225 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: you would give yourself at the age of thirty when 226 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: you were just starting out that you maybe wish you 227 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: would have known or wish you would have focused on, uh, 228 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: back when you were just starting out.

And you know, it was 236 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: difficult to be a White House aide one day and 237 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: then starting off at the bottom of a law firm. 238 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: But I did it, and ultimately I found something I 239 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: really love, which is business and ultimately philanthropy. So you 240 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: don't despair if if roadblocks hit you. You know, if 241 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: you work hard, you can overcome almost anything.

The President rebuilt this 271 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: economy once, so we know he's doing it again. The 272 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: last four months have been historic job growth in this country, 273 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: shattering expectations. Um, you know, it's it's kind of interesting 274 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: to watch.

Uh. 279 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: We understand that we're far from finished, but we've literally 280 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: gained back almost half of the jobs that were lost 281 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: forty have been gained back. That's good news. It's a 282 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: great indicator of where this economy is headed. Uh And 283 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: while we were at record highs before coronavirus, we expect 284 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: to make even new highs afterwards. Of the major private 285 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: sector industry, folks, just to dive into the numbers a 286 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: little bit, retail added the most jobs two hundred thousand 287 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: and two hundred and forty nine thousand jobs for retail 288 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: two hundred and forty nine thousand jobs in retail, particularly 289 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: in general merchandise and motor vehicles. A lot of people 290 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: buying cars, restaurants, and bars, along with temporary help services 291 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: also accounted for the significant part of the hiring. Hogan. 292 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: I want to get in the weeds here because do 293 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: you think that this is going to take some of 294 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: the pressure off of their getting fiscal stimulus coming out 295 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: of Washington, d C. Just because as as these as 296 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: we get more information on the recovery, it takes some 297 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: of the pressure off of their being a massive stimulus 298 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: bill that remains to be seen. I hear talks are 299 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: going really well. Obviously, I'm no longer on the official 300 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: side over at the White House anymore. Here at the campaign, 301 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: I'm hearing some good news from the negotiations and the conversations. Look, 302 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: I understand that that the White House and and Mark 303 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: Meadows and and Steve Manuta and Larry Cudlo have been 304 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: worked night and day to try and come up with 305 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: something that um, you know Democrats will even uh sniff 306 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: at right now, they're they're still on vacation refusing to 307 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: come back. I mean, I guess Pelosi has time to 308 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: get her hair done during a shutdown in a quarantine. 309 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: But regardless of that, um, it looks like, h you know, 310 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: the American people still need help. They still need assistance. 311 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: The President forced folks to uh to stop all of 312 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: their their um uh evictions just just the other day too, 313 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: So he's taking bold action to make sure the American 314 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: people are safe and protected at this time and that 315 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: they have some money in their pockets to put food 316 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: on the table and close on their kids backs, pay rent, 317 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: pay the car note, all those things. I mean, we've 318 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: spent trillions and trillions of dollars so far, uh in 319 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: this and that's why these job numbers today are so important. Um, 320 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: We've got to continue to to to to move on 321 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: the track of of you know, lower regulations, lower taxes. 322 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: That's what's really spawning on the economy because the President 323 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: puts such good policies in place that when this coronavirus iris, 324 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: this unforeseen, unprecedented pandemic begins to move on the downswing 325 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: and get out of this country, and the therapeutics come online, 326 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: hopefully a vaccine this year as well, that will be 327 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: in prime position, uh to to reach those record highs 328 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: all over again. I want to focus on two sectors 329 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: in particular. Let's start with manufacturing. The Democrats have said 330 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: that manufacturing was in a slump before the pandemic, and 331 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: a lot of folks, obviously in battleground states very much 332 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: care about manufacturing. What policies with the president enacting a 333 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: second term, Holden Gidley, national Press Secretary for the President's relaxed, 334 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: specifically as it relates to manufacturing jobs. Well, first of all, 335 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: it's rich that Democrats would talk about the ills and 336 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: woes of of a manufacturing sector when it was their 337 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: positions that caused um, you know, three and a half 338 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 1: million jobs to leave American workers and go straight to China. 339 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: It was the horrific Map to Deal that kicked the 340 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 1: American workers squarely in the teeth, crushed the American middle 341 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: class that Joe Biden was all full and all excite 342 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: about killing eight hundred and fifty thousand jobs. It's the 343 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 1: Green New Deal that would kill ten million jobs in 344 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: the energy sector as well. So this president came in 345 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: and in a short amount of time, we had about 346 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand manufacturing jobs come back, more jobs in 347 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: this country than there were people to fill them. Record 348 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: low unemployment for African American, Asian American, Hispanic American women 349 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: employed at record numbers as well. So the President's policies 350 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: need to continue. He's talked about tax cuts two point oh. 351 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: We talked about that heading into the election. Here it 352 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: looks like that's something that that obviously won't happen as 353 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 1: everyone's focused on the re elect right now. The Democrats 354 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: refused to have conversations about anything that doesn't involve politics. 355 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: Of course that's not really a new thing for them, 356 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,640 Speaker 1: but still, um, it's those types of policies that got 357 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: us to those record highs that we want to continue. 358 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: I mean, let's not forget early on in the administration 359 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: it was he was. He promised to cut two regulations 360 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: for every one he put in place. There was an 361 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: average there for a while when it was twenty two 362 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 1: regulations for everyone they put in place. So that's the 363 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: kind of thing that we believe spurs the economy on 364 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: and we're going to continue to push that. The President 365 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: has been adamant about it, and he thinks that's what 366 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: it works. And I think the proof is in the pudding, 367 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: and when it did work the first time again before 368 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 1: the virus, we know it will work a second time 369 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: as well. I want to focus on energy. You mentioned energy. Uh. 370 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: There is a big Democratic primary in Massachusetts where Senator 371 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: at Market this week beat uh, the more centrist candidate, 372 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: Congressman Joe Kennedy the third. And then the same week 373 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: you've got Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden Uh in southwestern 374 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania saying that he is not against fracking. So I mean, 375 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: is that, especially in the state like Pennsylvania, we're fracking 376 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: is so incredibly an important issue. How important from a 377 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 1: strategic standpoint for your campaign? Is the issue of fracking 378 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: going to be especially in a battleground state like Pennsylvania, 379 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: It's very important Uh. And look, I think, um, the 380 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden record on on energy is one and that 381 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,719 Speaker 1: that most definitely needs to be challenged. Let's talk about energy. 382 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: This President Donald Trump unleashed energy production in this in 383 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 1: this country, allowing drilling in an war, allowing pipelines to 384 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 1: to run like they should. Uh. We saw for the 385 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: first time in decades a country in the United States 386 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: that is now a net exporter of energy. Um. And 387 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: that does another thing for us to forget the fact 388 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: that we have cheaper prices at the pump, or that 389 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: it costs less for us to heat and cool our homes. Um. 390 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: It's a national security issue. No longer is this country 391 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 1: but holding to the whims of countries in the Middle East, 392 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: or to Russia or China. Joe Biden wants to reverse 393 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: all of that. And now he's trying to pretend as 394 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: though he is okay with fracking. That's just not the case. 395 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: He was pressed countless times during the democrat Um Um 396 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: primary and said over and over and over, we're gonna 397 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: eliminate track, I'm gonna I'm gonna not give any more 398 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: permits for fracking. Well, that would crush the industry. That's 399 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of jobs in Pennsylvania alone. I mean, 400 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 1: it's a really horrific idea about the energy sector. Who 401 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: put us, like I said, beholding other countries for pricing, um, 402 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: and also it would hurt jobs in this country. So uh, 403 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: you know, we're ready to have that conversation if that's 404 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: if that's what this election is going to be about 405 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: energy production and the jobs that creates, where we're going 406 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: to be in better shape than we are now. All right, 407 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: And just one final topic. I mean, there's been so 408 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,919 Speaker 1: much fodder in the Washington Press quarterday about that Atlantic article. 409 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: There's some reports as that President Trump and actually nominee 410 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: Biden might be it might be in the same part 411 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania to honor the September eleventh Memorial and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. 412 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: Can you give us first of all, I mean, the 413 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: campaign is refuting the Atlantic article, correct, and the president's 414 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: refuting in oh absolutely, And I was there, by the way, 415 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 1: I was in Paris with the President and my capacity 416 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 1: as deputy Press secretary, and um, you know he never 417 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: said that. I mean, it's disgusting, uh and cowardly for 418 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: these quote unquote sources to refuse to put their name 419 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: to such a vile comment because they know it's fake, 420 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 1: they know it's fictitious, and they don't want to be 421 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 1: pressed on it. They don't want to be challenged on it. 422 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: We already have now double digit folks from the administration 423 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: who would have had firsthand knowledge saying it was complete, 424 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: complete and total lie. The President's never talked about the 425 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: military like that, and all you have to do is 426 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: look back at his record. My goodness, he rebuilt the 427 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: military trillions of dollars for tanks and guns and bullets 428 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: and rockets and planes and ships. Uh, he did that. 429 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: He expanded choice for healthcare for veterans like we've never 430 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: seen before. He's the one um who has done so 431 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 1: much to ensure the v A is cleaned up that 432 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: they could actually fire people who weren't doing their jobs 433 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: and serving the veterans. Changing the rules of engagement that 434 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: protected people in Afghanistan. Um maimings it down like five 435 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: death went down a because he changed the rules of 436 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: engagement and allow the military to actually fight and not 437 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: be hamstrong. That's what this president has done for the military. 438 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: Nobody else has done that. It was the it was 439 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: the sequester of the Democrats that caused so much of 440 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: the problems. They insisted that it include the military, and 441 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: then they took money from the military, shutting down some 442 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: of their bases. That's the Democrats philosophy. It's not ours, 443 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,199 Speaker 1: it's not the presidents. He respects those who have served, 444 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: he respects those who have died. Every single engagement he 445 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: has has been impactful to his life. It's a meaningful situation. 446 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: But he reveres the members of the military. Um just 447 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: just with with a with a height that I've not 448 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: seen before. Politics isn't be magnus is one of those 449 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: really just uh intense to put it, mildly, political discussions. 450 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: That is, people are talking about But do you think 451 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: the President and Biden could meet? I mean would he 452 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: would he meet with but Biden at at a nine 453 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: eleven memorial That's my last question for you, because the 454 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: Biden campaign seems to suggest that they're open to that. 455 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: And last cycle, uh, Hillary Clinton and of course then 456 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: candidate Trump, they they were all at the same memorial 457 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 1: service for nine eleven, and I just figured out to ask. Yeah, 458 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Obviously I can't predict the future, but 459 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: but I mean, look, I think it's one of the 460 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: most significant days in American history, and it's as a somber, 461 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,959 Speaker 1: serious day. And I imagine that that both candidates are 462 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: going to um, you know, participate in in a in 463 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: a memorial in some form or fashion. Whether they actually 464 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: end up seeing each other or talking um, you know, 465 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: I just can't tell.

Uh the Atlantic report 490 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: says that the President had some disparaging remarks for veterans 491 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: and this is something that the re election campaign is 492 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: forcefully hitting back upon and no doubt though, shaking up 493 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: this Labor Day weekend, we begin tonight with a big story. 494 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: That is, of course, the economic numbers and the data 495 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 1: that we got today, plus a wild day on Wall 496 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: Street at the Labor Department.

That's better 499 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: than all of the economist estimates, though it's still well 500 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: above the pre crisis level, but still eight point four 501 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,959 Speaker 1: percent eight point four percent level unemployment. Joining us on 502 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: the sound On hotline is Mattie Doubler, founder of Forward Strategies, 503 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: senior fellow at the National Taxpayers Union, and the former 504 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: Coalitions director for the House Republican Conference. All right, Maddie, 505 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: we got a wild ay on Wall Street, but positive 506 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: unemployment numbers. Let's start with the unemployment A point four percent? 507 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 1: What gave Alright, so we finally are under ten percent, 508 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: which of course was the height of the unemployment rate 509 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: during the last recession, of the o o oh oh 510 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: nine great recession. Um that was really uh the surprise here. 511 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: The number of jobs at in August one point four 512 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: million was right at expectations. But the number, the reason 513 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: that the unemployment rate came down was for good reasons. 514 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: Sometimes the unemployment rate comes down because people fall out 515 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: of the labor market. That's not what we want to see. 516 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: That's not what we saw in August and August we 517 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: saw people get pulled back into the labor market. You 518 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: had the labor force participation rates go up. That's exactly 519 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: what you need to have a robust recovery. Now, there's 520 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: not to say that it was going gangbusters here, right. 521 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 1: I mean, we still have not recovered half of the 522 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: jobs or just under half the jobs that we lost 523 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: because of coronavirus. So there's still a lot of work 524 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: to be done. And I think that there's a number 525 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: of reasons that September might not be as rosy as August. 526 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 1: But this is a strong jobs report. Like I said, 527 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: that number of Keman expectations and getting that unemployment rate 528 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: below ten per cent is significant because most economists thought 529 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 1: that we would be at the lowest rate right now 530 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: would be around nine percent. So we're already looking a 531 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: little bit better than most of the expectations were back 532 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: in the spring. It's remarkable because of the fiscal stimulus 533 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: talks that are at an impasse and a standstill. Here's 534 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: what yeah, here's what I'll say about that. I think 535 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: that this is my challenge of the job numbers every month, 536 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: because I think that there's that old quotation and some 537 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: march way in quotation about data and facts and people 538 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: using them to their own, to flex to their own narrative, 539 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: and I think people do out with the jobs data 540 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 1: because you can look at this one at one point 541 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: and say, look, a million point four jobs, the unemployment 542 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: rate below ten percent. Obviously we don't need a ton 543 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: of fiscal stimula from Washington because the recovery is underway. 544 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,960 Speaker 1: Or you can look at this and you can say, well, 545 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: this is the lowest pace of private employment job creation 546 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: that we've seen since we got out of the bottom 547 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: of the labor market in early March and April. So 548 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: I think that both guides probably look at the data 549 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,719 Speaker 1: today and are using it to make their case. You 550 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: and I have talked time and time again about how 551 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: the situation is tenuous at best. Even if the resiliency 552 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: of the American economy and the American job market and 553 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: American employers is on full display, that is not enough 554 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: where a Congress still has a responsibility here to act 555 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: because we've got tens of millions of people who are 556 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: still out of work, because there's a lot of uncertainty 557 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: on that road ahead. Get your facts first, and then 558 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: you can distort them as much as you please. That's 559 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: the Twain quote from See to See that was quoted. 560 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: Of course, first by Brigard Kipling. All right, let's take 561 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: a listen about this unemployment rate and about the stimulus, 562 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: because Larry Cudlow spoke to my colleague John Farroh earlier 563 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 1: today on the open after this bombshell shattering expectations unemployment 564 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: number eight point four Take a listen to Larry Cudlough 565 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: from the White House. Here is today's number, eight point 566 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 1: four percent unemployment. I just want to note, I think 567 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: that shows that President Trump's idea of a generous unemployment 568 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: assistance plan that he's put as executive order, but not 569 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: necessarily an extravagant one. I think he's been born out 570 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: to be exactly right. Eight point four percent unemployment is 571 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: really the headline story of this massive jobs improvement report. 572 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: And then he went on in that interview Mattie Duppler 573 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: to say, essentially, quote, why don't we pass a more 574 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: modest package instead of something that goes into multi trillion 575 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: dollars of debt that we do not need and would 576 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: be counterproductive in the long term. Matti Duppler, you know 577 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: all the ins and outs of the Republican Caucus and 578 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: the and the various levels of differences of agreement. So 579 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: did Larry Cudlow sell that to the more moderate wing 580 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: of the Republican Party who are up there in the 581 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: Senate or the down ballot members who are up for 582 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: re election. Well, you know, Kevin, I'm not sure that 583 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: it matters, because the negotiations right now have to bend 584 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: between the administration. I mean, look, they've been between the 585 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: administration and Nancy Pelosi. Those are the only people talking 586 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: in Washington and are the only people who are involved 587 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: in getting a deal. So Republicans on the Hill are 588 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: going to have to hold their nose and agree to 589 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: whatever it is the administration gets. How Democrats to agree 590 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: to that. Those are how the negotiations are playing out 591 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: right now now. I do think it's quite silly how 592 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: both Democrats and Republicans have decided that to have a 593 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: top line number that they want to stick with Republicans 594 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: of course wanting that to be lower than Democrats because 595 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: they're concerned about the federal spending, federal spending in the 596 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: federal debt um. I think what we need policymakers to 597 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 1: be doing is asking where we get the biggest bang 598 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: for our book and where taxpayers are going to get 599 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: a return on the investment that they're going to make 600 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: for relief efforts. And I think that if policymakers could 601 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: frame the discussion in ways that they want a productive 602 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 1: use of taxpayer dollars, that would require them to do 603 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: a lot more negotiating than it's back and forth about 604 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: two trillion years, three trillion. There At the end of 605 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: the day, no one cares how much money Congress spends 606 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: if the economy can't recover, because the end of the day, 607 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: the economy is only going to do as well as 608 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: we're able to support it to get it through this 609 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: unprecedented contraption and economic uh in economic activity. So you know, 610 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: the negotiations have been have been a lackluster at best. 611 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: My hope is that Larry Cubo is whispering in the 612 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: ear of Treasury Secretary Seed Minution. Then next time you 613 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: talk to Nancy Pelosi so they can get some kind 614 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: of deal that can get through Congress. You know, it's 615 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: it's it's really remarkable just to see how you've got 616 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: the Wall Street getting a windfall with their fees in 617 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: terms of investment banking, but still the wild roller coaster 618 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 1: ride that we've seen in the markets, and just to 619 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: dive into my terminal for a second. US stocks bounced 620 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: back from a sharp sell off today, but still closed 621 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: at a two week low, Maddie as mega cap tech 622 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: shares sold off. Losses for Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook pushed the 623 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: tech heavy NASTAC A hundred one hundred down more than 624 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: five percent at one point, though it paired those declines 625 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: to just over one percent as the day warre on. 626 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: An investors spotted bargains gains in the financial shares, limited 627 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: losses in the SMP five index, which ended the week 628 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: down two point three percent, at the lowest level since 629 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: August one. Lest what you just said August one, that 630 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: was a short two weeks ago. And so you've got 631 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: the market. You've got mart, you've got market, You've got 632 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: investors and observers melting down over the fact that turns out, 633 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: stock don't only go up, they can come down because 634 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 1: the stock and an equity price is set by the 635 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: investment investors who are willing to pay that price for it. 636 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: At some going they're not willing to pay. And you know, 637 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 1: the amount where I just keeps going up. So you know, 638 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 1: I think that the recalibration on tech stox was coming 639 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: um and I do think that, particularly when you get 640 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: good job data, that's gonna start putting pressure on somebody 641 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: exacuity priced in somebody's tech names that were really imadening 642 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: from the track down economy. Stay because coming up, you're 643 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: gonna join the panel for the next block. Are You're 644 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: gonna tell me what's on your radar? Because we got 645 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: the president of five thirty now, so we're on standby 646 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,280 Speaker 1: for that. I'm Kevin Surley Moore. Next, what's on your radar? 647 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: Find out you're listening to Bloomberg. You're listening to Bloomberg. 648 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 1: Sound on with Kevin s relate on Bloomberg one and 649 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: one Old five point seven f M h D two. 650 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 1: My name is Kevin Sireli. I'm the chief Washington correspondent 651 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: for Bloomberg Television and for Bloomberg Radio. It's a remarkable 652 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: that we should note this, but both President Trump and 653 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden are going to be in Shanksville, 654 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:59,879 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania next week to honor the September eleventh anniversary date. 655 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: It's unclear whether or not their paths will cross. I 656 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: would note that back in two thousand and sixteen, during 657 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:12,720 Speaker 1: the fifteenth year UH anniversary of of the horrific September 658 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: eleventh attacks, Hillary Clinton, then candidate Donald Trump, as well 659 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,680 Speaker 1: as others Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayors um 660 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: and others. They were all president for a New York 661 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: UH commemorative issues. So it wouldn't be out of thought 662 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: to think that Joe Biden and President Trump would would 663 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: see their paths crossed. But of course, given the heightened 664 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 1: US and the negativity of this UH wild virtual campaign season. 665 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 1: With regards to the Atlantic Report, who knows? Who knows? 666 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,839 Speaker 1: I asked Open Goodley. I put it right to home 667 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: at the top of the show. He's the national Press 668 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: secretary for the Trump re election campaign. He said, Hey, 669 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't know yet. He doesn't know. Maybe there passible 670 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 1: cross maybe they won't. But well, we're gonna have to 671 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 1: wait and see. It's time now as we wait for 672 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 1: President Trump. Speaking of waiting, President Trump is set to 673 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: speak at the White House at five thirty Eastern time, 674 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 1: so we will go there when we get that. But 675 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: I want to I want to move up my favorite 676 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: part of the show just because I really want to 677 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,959 Speaker 1: make sure that our esteemed guests on this Friday get there, 678 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: get their opportunity to tell me something that's on their radar. 679 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 1: So let's bring back into this conversation before she has 680 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: to jump off and perform all of her other duties. 681 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: Maddie Duppler, she has founder a foreword strategy, she's a 682 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: senior Fellow at the National Taxpayer Union, she's a former 683 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 1: Coalitions director for the House Republican Conference, and she's one 684 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: of the best in DC going through all of these issues. Maddie, 685 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: what's on your radar do we have? Maddie, Well, Maddie, 686 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,800 Speaker 1: you cut out, so we gotta have your restart. Maddie, 687 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,439 Speaker 1: you're leaving us hanging what what's on your I said 688 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: tod was first day that shout out. Because what I'm 689 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: gonna do is I'm gonna run down the thing that 690 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 1: worries the most about the August employment report that we 691 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: got today, which is down on a Friday, such a 692 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 1: downer on a three day weekend. I need to I'm 693 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: going to bring it up. But I want people to 694 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: be aware that labor fourth participation participation rate that I 695 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,439 Speaker 1: talked about um for women, it was completely constant July 696 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: to August, for white women, for Black women, for Hispanic 697 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 1: women constant across July and August. That means that the 698 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: increase that labor fourth participation rate is coming mainly from 699 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: mail workers. Now, what happened in August. Of course, kids 700 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: were supposed to go back to school, and we know 701 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 1: in a lot of places in the country that wasn't 702 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: the case. So I think that that indicates and again 703 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: one month is not a trend make, but I think 704 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 1: that indicates that women are taking on a greater share 705 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 1: of these childcare responsibilities, that they try to figure out 706 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: what's going to happen with school, and that could make 707 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: for a very uneven recovery if that trend does in 708 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: fact materialize. So that's something that I'm watching. It was 709 00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: incredible to look at this day to day and see 710 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: a flat across from July to August for across those 711 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 1: uh those great categories with all women workers, like I've 712 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 1: never seen that before. Well, I mean, and even to 713 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:14,319 Speaker 1: that point, I mean, just the inequality that that that 714 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: this has exposed. I don't care what economic indicators you're 715 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:23,240 Speaker 1: looking at. I mean, just to see how the minority 716 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 1: groups in this country disadvantaged lower socio economic income in 717 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: this country. Mattie you and I have talked about this offline. 718 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 1: I remember having facetimes with you and March talking precisely 719 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: about this issue. I mean, it is it's really really staggering. 720 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,319 Speaker 1: It's not just in the United States, it's worldwide. Then 721 00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,320 Speaker 1: you start getting in the vaccinations. I mean, people, we 722 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,120 Speaker 1: got to play this forward once they're finally is A 723 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 1: is A is a vaccination in terms of in the market. 724 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: Think about countries that don't have as developed of an 725 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 1: infrastructure for vaccine vaccination execution. I mean here in the 726 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 1: United States and in Europe and western countries we're debating, 727 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 1: you know, rightfully, so how do we execute a vaccination 728 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: and mass vaccination to make sure that people get it 729 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: and an efficient matter. We already have the infrastructure built right, 730 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: everyone can go to their their pharmaceutical, their local local 731 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 1: drug store to get a flu shot. But in other 732 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 1: countries around the world, they don't even have that infrastructure. 733 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 1: So it really is remarkable just how exposed the world is, 734 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,760 Speaker 1: the global economy is as it relates to this. All right, Maddie, 735 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: that's great, kind of I have a fun one now 736 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 1: that you were so down, which which is a but 737 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: it's important, So I don't want to. I don't want 738 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: to make light of the of the important issue that 739 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: you that you raised. But here's mine. Drive in movie theaters. 740 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: Here we are on a three day weekend. Here we 741 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: are in a three day weekend, and Maddie, I think 742 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: this is great. Once fading, this is on the Bloomberg Terminal. 743 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:58,879 Speaker 1: Once fading. Drive in theater stage a pandemic era come 744 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,760 Speaker 1: back does lined for the suburbs of nineteen fifties America. 745 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 1: The drive in theater found a new role in the 746 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: summer of twenty as a COVID safe site for collective entertainment. 747 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 1: And all you have to do if you're in the 748 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,800 Speaker 1: d m V is Google, go on a search engine 749 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: and put it in to find one. But it's it's 750 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: really really interesting to see how I have not I'm 751 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 1: dying to go. And they were doing a market for 752 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 1: a couple of months at the beginning of all this. 753 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: We'll get yeah, I mean, and it's it's it's really remarkable. 754 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 1: So the Parking theater the first When do you think 755 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 1: the first drive in movie theater opened m n No. 756 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:46,320 Speaker 1: Nineteen thirty three, Jersey Parking Leave it to the Jerseys 757 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: UH nineteen thirty three, but the idea didn't really take 758 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 1: off until the fifties, and then there were two thousand 759 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,759 Speaker 1: and in nineteen fifty eight it was a peak of 760 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: four thousand lined the highways of driving movie theaters of 761 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 1: an increasingly suburbanized and car centric nation, but in October 762 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: there was only three and five in the in the 763 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 1: entire United States.

Matt, 821 00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,760 Speaker 1: you know here in Washington, as you know so much, 822 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,880 Speaker 1: so much of the conversation, Mattie, I apologize so much 823 00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: of the conversation has been about this Atlantic article, and 824 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:49,440 Speaker 1: so much of the week had been about law and order. 825 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 1: But I'm wondering if if any of that is drowning 826 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:56,879 Speaker 1: out the improving economy, what do you think? Well, so 827 00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 1: from one Kevin, this is a challenge when I'm on 828 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,120 Speaker 1: with Kevin calling on your show and we got to 829 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:02,880 Speaker 1: Kevin's and Maddie you now he's had a matte and 830 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 1: Maddie and Kevin you know, we got we we need 831 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:12,120 Speaker 1: new names. But I've definitely been called worse on air, 832 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 1: so it's fine. Anyways, getting back to the question of 833 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 1: what's breaking through, you know, I think that is the 834 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,880 Speaker 1: pivotal question. We've talked about this on the show before. 835 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 1: Typically voters attitudes about the economy crystallized in the summer. Well, 836 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 1: throw out the window this summer, which has just been 837 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:32,279 Speaker 1: a crazy, crazy time to think about anything beyond your 838 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 1: own survival or we're in the middle of a pandemic. 839 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:39,799 Speaker 1: So I do think that as people are allowed to 840 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 1: return to some sense of normalcy in their lives, uh, 841 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 1: that will relate to how they feel about the economy. 842 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,919 Speaker 1: Now that's different. I think send in a normal presidential year, 843 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 1: where how you solve what economy has to do with 844 00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:53,920 Speaker 1: your local job market, how your community is doing in 845 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 1: terms of employment, like those things really matter a lot. 846 00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 1: Wage growth really matters a lot, uh in local or 847 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,720 Speaker 1: excuse me, in in presidential elections. Typically that's how people 848 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,319 Speaker 1: feel the economy. I think really the new measure might be, 849 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 1: you know, how normal people feel come November. How much 850 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,600 Speaker 1: of their lives do they feel like they've gone back 851 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,960 Speaker 1: to um comparing themselves the beginning of to where they 852 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 1: are in November. That might be kind of the new 853 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,240 Speaker 1: economic metric for voters as we had towards the presidential election. 854 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,080 Speaker 1: Right now we have Nut Brooks. So I want to 855 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 1: bring into this conversation that's so much of the week 856 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 1: was about law and order and now it's about veterans issues. 857 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,480 Speaker 1: On a day in which the unemployment number drops SMA 858 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 1: smashes expectations to eight point four percent. But this is 859 00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 1: really a potential vulnerability for the president, even even if 860 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 1: you know they're refuting the article in the Atlantic. But 861 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,719 Speaker 1: what it does, and you know this not you know politics, 862 00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 1: this is this is a way to drum up all 863 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 1: of the comments that the president is made in the 864 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 1: past about late Senator John McCain and others. Look, I 865 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 1: think that you know, this story is is a total fabrication. 866 00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 1: I think the fact that there is nobody except unnamed 867 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:04,840 Speaker 1: anonymous sources in this article seriously raised the credibility of 868 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 1: the entire piece. And as you know, Kevin and as 869 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:10,640 Speaker 1: you've seen, John Bolton, who obviously has been no friend 870 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 1: of this president, has came out and said that he 871 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: doesn't believe the story to be true. Um, and you know, 872 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 1: I think this is you know, uh, you know, a 873 00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,959 Speaker 1: one day news story at best, and likely a half 874 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 1: news half a news cycle, especially with the jobs reports 875 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:31,719 Speaker 1: and the economic uh data that's coming out today. And 876 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 1: I think, uh, this is a uh, you know, this 877 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:38,279 Speaker 1: is a chance by the Democrats to to grasp it 878 00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 1: some straws and try and change the debate. The reality 879 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 1: is it's not gonna work. So but but but it 880 00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,600 Speaker 1: hits in the sense that it brings up the previous combats. 881 00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: I mean, and this is and it allows for Democrats 882 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,920 Speaker 1: to turn the page on law and order. Would you, 883 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,759 Speaker 1: I mean from a purely political strategic standpoint, Am I 884 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,000 Speaker 1: wrong on that? Or no? No? I think because I 885 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:03,000 Speaker 1: think no. I think the military and the soldiers and 886 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,240 Speaker 1: you know, our men and women in uniform love this president. 887 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:10,360 Speaker 1: And I think he has been incredibly supportive and uh, 888 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,800 Speaker 1: the troops know that, uh, that he is a supporter 889 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,520 Speaker 1: and a fan of those and he's got their back. 890 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,960 Speaker 1: I mean, here's a guy who wants to bring the 891 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,279 Speaker 1: troops home. Here's a guy who uh doesn't miss an 892 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,880 Speaker 1: opportunity to travel around the world and visit with the troops. Um. 893 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 1: He loves the military. And it's clear to the people 894 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,680 Speaker 1: who are who are serving that he's rebuilt the military. Uh. 895 00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 1: And so I don't think this this is gonna be 896 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,640 Speaker 1: credible in the eyes of veterans who you know, with 897 00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,040 Speaker 1: what he's done with performing the v A and getting 898 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 1: the v A back to some level of efficiency to 899 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: serve our great veterans. Um. I just don't think this 900 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 1: is a charge that sticks. Maddie coming here, just not 901 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,840 Speaker 1: not not in the comments of the allegations, but on 902 00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:56,759 Speaker 1: the on the strategy behind it for both campaigns. Maddie Doubler, Right, So, 903 00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:01,640 Speaker 1: I think that I remember presidential pilot policy, our coalition politics. 904 00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:05,320 Speaker 1: So the challenge for a Biden campaign and really how 905 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,479 Speaker 1: they get the progressive left, which is more and more 906 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,960 Speaker 1: of the voting proportion of the Democratic Party, how they 907 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,120 Speaker 1: get them excited to turn out to vote. Um, the 908 00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,280 Speaker 1: math Probiden, if you're looking at the map, he needs 909 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 1: some constellation of a scot in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida. How 910 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 1: does he play those states? Well? One way to do 911 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,320 Speaker 1: that is to try and get a younger, urban progressive 912 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:32,319 Speaker 1: vote out. Uh does this story do that? Does it 913 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,720 Speaker 1: really inflame that portion of the base? I'm not sure 914 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,680 Speaker 1: that it does. Now. If the play is in the 915 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 1: suburbs or moderate independence and potential Republican voters, then yeah. 916 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,400 Speaker 1: This is something that again raises the ire of a 917 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,000 Speaker 1: lot of modern Republicans who really chased at the last 918 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,479 Speaker 1: four years of maybe agreeing with some of the things 919 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,320 Speaker 1: that the president does in policy, but then in practice 920 00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,600 Speaker 1: and the style really having a challenge with it. That 921 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:00,799 Speaker 1: might be the case, but I don't think that that's 922 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,200 Speaker 1: really the primary, uh concern. I don't think that the 923 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,080 Speaker 1: Binding campaign gets up every day really thinking that independent 924 00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:11,360 Speaker 1: and moderate Republican voters are their path to the presidency. 925 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,280 Speaker 1: I think they're looking at the whole coalition and looking 926 00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,480 Speaker 1: at their base and thinking, how do we get people 927 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,280 Speaker 1: excited to turn out? Because remember that was a challenge 928 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,319 Speaker 1: in sixteen Enough people stayed home that Democrats didn't really 929 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,239 Speaker 1: even seem to have I mean, I should put it 930 00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,120 Speaker 1: that away, but I was saying about fighting chance. But 931 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,280 Speaker 1: you know, you look at the numbers and you think, like, wow, 932 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,560 Speaker 1: people would rather stay home than vote for eight of 933 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:35,640 Speaker 1: these candidates. That should instruct both these parties how to play. 934 00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,920 Speaker 1: And I'm not sure that Democrats have gotten the message up. 935 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:43,160 Speaker 1: So you so you're saying it's it's purely turnout. Well, 936 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,200 Speaker 1: I would say that, yes, and no. What I'm saying 937 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,719 Speaker 1: is that people need to be excited enough to turn 938 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 1: out to vote. So yes, in that sense, it's turned out. 939 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,120 Speaker 1: But I don't think that if you see, I think 940 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,239 Speaker 1: that the Trump campaign is going to be able to 941 00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:00,120 Speaker 1: recreate its coalition and then potentially add to it. So 942 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,400 Speaker 1: it can't just be turned out, has to be about 943 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,880 Speaker 1: what the constellation of the coalition looks like work Democrats 944 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 1: and Republicans. I think the Republican coalition will look pretty 945 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 1: similar to what it looks like in twenty sixteen, which 946 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,080 Speaker 1: was some of those Obama voters and some of those 947 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,880 Speaker 1: swing states that I mentioned being compelled by this outsider, 948 00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,239 Speaker 1: populous message that a Trump campaign has. But I do 949 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,839 Speaker 1: think that there's a possibility that you see Republicans who 950 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,400 Speaker 1: were like mass on Trump in twenty sixteen able to 951 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,279 Speaker 1: come that way because they like the policies they've neen 952 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,879 Speaker 1: over the last four years. Compare that to Democrats, who 953 00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,640 Speaker 1: right now don't really have a policy platform that's really 954 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,600 Speaker 1: getting people jinged up to vote about. They don't necessarily 955 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,080 Speaker 1: have anything that unites the party because they have these 956 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:38,880 Speaker 1: Internet in wars that we saw a lot of in 957 00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,440 Speaker 1: twenty town on the Republican side, where you've got a 958 00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 1: really really inflamed base going after kind of a moderate, 959 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:49,920 Speaker 1: uh moderate core of the party um And the question 960 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,759 Speaker 1: is how does a candidate who comes from that moderate wing, 961 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 1: who stated his entire can who is states his entire 962 00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,400 Speaker 1: career on being a moderate guy who can reach across 963 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,839 Speaker 1: the aisle. How does he feel like people that those 964 00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:03,760 Speaker 1: people don't stay home. I'm not sure the Biding campaign 965 00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,840 Speaker 1: has figured out how to do that yet because right 966 00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,239 Speaker 1: now the Democrats message Jesse Biden is not Trump and 967 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:11,040 Speaker 1: that should be good enough for Anny Democrat. Alright, panels 968 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,800 Speaker 1: gonna stay. Panel's gonna stay because we got another block 969 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:15,600 Speaker 1: coming up, and I want to know what's on that. 970 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:20,359 Speaker 1: Matt Brooks is radar mad Maddie featuring keV.

Um, 986 00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:26,959 Speaker 1: all right, matt what's on your radar? Give me something 987 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,319 Speaker 1: in the weeds, give me something geopolitical. I want to 988 00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,040 Speaker 1: know something on your radar as we head into a 989 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:36,319 Speaker 1: three day weekend. I've got off Monday. What what's on 990 00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:43,680 Speaker 1: your radar? Well, the big side electoral presidential electoral politics 991 00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:51,120 Speaker 1: is the Flyers winning in Game seven and uh football 992 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:56,600 Speaker 1: starting on September in our Philadelphia, our beloved Kevin Philadelphia. Okay, wait, 993 00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,920 Speaker 1: but wait before you tell me something, before you tell 994 00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,719 Speaker 1: me something political, I want to ask you this because 995 00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,000 Speaker 1: actually I haven't been able to figure this out. And 996 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 1: the look, are they gonna allow tailgates because they're not 997 00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 1: allowing fans in the stadium, but you know Philly, like 998 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,680 Speaker 1: I know Philly, they're going to be packing that stadium, 999 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 1: parking lot tailgating. It's going to be like a drive 1000 00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 1: in NFL game. Yeah, I don't think. Yeah, I don't 1001 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,120 Speaker 1: know what the mayor, what Kenny is going to be 1002 00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 1: doing there. I don't think Kenny knows what he's gonna 1003 00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,600 Speaker 1: be doing. I said too much about the mayor. Yeah, 1004 00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:27,840 Speaker 1: they've taken a pretty restrictive Yeah, they've taken a pretty 1005 00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:32,400 Speaker 1: restrictive policy. So we can hope and if there are tailgates, 1006 00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:36,000 Speaker 1: I'll see you there. So, UH, it's gonna be a 1007 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:40,839 Speaker 1: good all right. What's on your what's on serious note? Yeah, 1008 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,319 Speaker 1: on a serious note. I think today we saw yet 1009 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:47,720 Speaker 1: another diplomatic UH success from this president is that relates 1010 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:52,200 Speaker 1: to UH the Middle East with the recognition by Kosovo 1011 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:56,680 Speaker 1: of of Israel and agreeing to move their their embassy 1012 00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:59,680 Speaker 1: to Jerusalem. This comes on the heel of the historic 1013 00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,719 Speaker 1: him and that the president broker between Israel and the 1014 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 1: United Arab Emirates UH and reinforces again that this is 1015 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,359 Speaker 1: the most pro Israel president history. And UM for my organization, 1016 00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 1: we are in the midst of launching a ten million 1017 00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,759 Speaker 1: dollar effort UH targeted the Jewish community and I'm gonna 1018 00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,239 Speaker 1: make a Babe Ruth pointing to the stands prediction to 1019 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,880 Speaker 1: you UH and your listeners that President Trump will do 1020 00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 1: better among Jewish voters in than he did in Well, 1021 00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:30,360 Speaker 1: what why? Why is this? Why is the close of 1022 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,560 Speaker 1: the announcement important? Because I do want to cover this 1023 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,439 Speaker 1: and I'm glad you brought it up. Why did Why 1024 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 1: is that such an important announcement? You know it again? 1025 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,279 Speaker 1: You know, it's how it's part of a pattern we're seeing. 1026 00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:47,600 Speaker 1: We're seeing Saudi Arabia allowing UH Israel flyover rights over 1027 00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:51,160 Speaker 1: over Saudi territory. We see the same thing with Bahrain 1028 00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:56,040 Speaker 1: allowing uh is fly So we see the normalization with 1029 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,000 Speaker 1: the U A e UH now close to which is 1030 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 1: which is a Muslim nation? UH? You know want to 1031 00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,959 Speaker 1: We're on the Rabic transformation of the old border UH 1032 00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,799 Speaker 1: in the Middle East, and Israel is the direct beneficiary 1033 00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:15,640 Speaker 1: of it, and is important. This all comes along uh 1034 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:20,120 Speaker 1: an access between uh, uh Puni and Shia. And really 1035 00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,160 Speaker 1: this is a this is an effort at building a 1036 00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:26,799 Speaker 1: broad uh swath of Arab and Arab nations and in 1037 00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 1: Israel to stand up to a Ram And I mean 1038 00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,800 Speaker 1: and it really I made this point earlier to Bloomberg 1039 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 1: Surveillance earlier in the week just about how Iran has 1040 00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:40,080 Speaker 1: really been a driving force for so many of these countries. 1041 00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:43,440 Speaker 1: And look no further than the announcement today with Serbia 1042 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:47,360 Speaker 1: and Kosovo that they are normalizing economic relations. And of 1043 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:51,319 Speaker 1: course this is a massive, massive development, uh, for the 1044 00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:55,920 Speaker 1: two Balkan nations that have resolved the decades long dispute 1045 00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:59,000 Speaker 1: that once had mill I mean, we we forget about this, 1046 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:03,680 Speaker 1: we have such sort cited geopolitical memory. Uh, but the 1047 00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:08,279 Speaker 1: US military intervened in the region just a couple of 1048 00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 1: decades ago. I mean, and now you've got Serbia and Kosovo, 1049 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:15,839 Speaker 1: and as you rightfully point out, because of a rod 1050 00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:20,520 Speaker 1: and and and whatnot. So it's it's another major geopolitical 1051 00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,280 Speaker 1: shift that has occurred in as little as two and 1052 00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:27,720 Speaker 1: a half three weeks. But and and likely will will 1053 00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 1: outlast the whomever whomever wins in November three. That's a 1054 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,160 Speaker 1: that's a great point. I appreciate you bringing it up. 1055 00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:41,439 Speaker 1: You know, I'm a I'm a I'm a geopolitical nerd heart. Yeah. Yeah. 1056 00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,640 Speaker 1: One of the things Kevin, just to to to put 1057 00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 1: a fine point on it. This is something that only 1058 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:49,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump to do, Joe Biden. Uh, here's the proposition 1059 00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:52,480 Speaker 1: of the of the here's the politics stuff it. Because 1060 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:57,600 Speaker 1: the Obama and Biden administration UH forced the and wanted 1061 00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:02,160 Speaker 1: to have the Iran deal. It forced a wedge between UH, 1062 00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,920 Speaker 1: the United States and our our allies in the Gulf States. 1063 00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:08,240 Speaker 1: And and once this president may very clear our opposition 1064 00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,040 Speaker 1: and taking a strong stand against Ron and allowed them 1065 00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,200 Speaker 1: to have the trust and confidence. Are you know, our 1066 00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,320 Speaker 1: Gulf State allies to have the trust and confidence in 1067 00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:19,920 Speaker 1: the administration to stand shoulder to shoulder with them against 1068 00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:21,840 Speaker 1: the RAM but also to take the risks for peace 1069 00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:26,240 Speaker 1: that we're seeing now. Yeah, fascinating, fascinating, all right, Maddie, 1070 00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:28,919 Speaker 1: because you're just you know, it's it's Maddie Doubler's job's 1071 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,400 Speaker 1: day fridayou startinging a job today and just call it 1072 00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,640 Speaker 1: Maddie Doufler Day. What what is on? What's another thing 1073 00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,240 Speaker 1: on your radar? Well? I have so many things that 1074 00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 1: right radar. Cav Let's circle back real quick to the 1075 00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,880 Speaker 1: stock market and what's happening there, because it's all related. 1076 00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:46,960 Speaker 1: Of course maybe if not, but this is my hypothesis. 1077 00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:48,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it out here for one of my 1078 00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:50,440 Speaker 1: things that I have on my radar is that, you know, 1079 00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:54,880 Speaker 1: a world long long ago, namely in when we got 1080 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,360 Speaker 1: good economic news, the market would freak out because the 1081 00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,479 Speaker 1: concern would be at the Federal Reserve would raise rates. 1082 00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,919 Speaker 1: Right now, I think we're in a strange paradigm where 1083 00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:06,360 Speaker 1: when we get good economic news, we might be seeing 1084 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of that in tech stocks. And why 1085 00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:10,720 Speaker 1: is that, Well, it's because we've had so many big 1086 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:14,640 Speaker 1: tech names that have benefited from this strange era of 1087 00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:17,360 Speaker 1: lockdowns and being at home and when that's been the 1088 00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,200 Speaker 1: thing that's been dragging the NASDAC forward for the last 1089 00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,960 Speaker 1: several months. Um, so we might be seeing a little 1090 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,120 Speaker 1: bit of that. Like some of this equity anxiety might 1091 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,160 Speaker 1: have come from the fact that there are signs that 1092 00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,240 Speaker 1: there's recoveries and recovering the economy. There are signs that 1093 00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:34,400 Speaker 1: some of the employment landscape is returning to normal. And 1094 00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,080 Speaker 1: the other side of that coin, then, is that these 1095 00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:40,160 Speaker 1: tech names don't have much justification for being on the 1096 00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:42,520 Speaker 1: tear that they've been on besides the fact that the 1097 00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:46,080 Speaker 1: Federal Reserve has uh committed to injecting tons of liquidity 1098 00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,280 Speaker 1: to market. But that's true, you know that helps all 1099 00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,680 Speaker 1: stock prices, not just the tech names. So that's what 1100 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:53,520 Speaker 1: I'm watching. That's something that I think we might see 1101 00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,440 Speaker 1: a little bit more connection as we wave through the 1102 00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,240 Speaker 1: next couple set trading sessions here and we see what 1103 00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,880 Speaker 1: happens in the mark Yet, Uh, that's okay, you know 1104 01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,920 Speaker 1: what's on my rinar. I'm sticking with this thread, this 1105 01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:09,959 Speaker 1: thread of drive ins because Keith Urban, who we play 1106 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,080 Speaker 1: on this program for the inters and outros very frequently, 1107 01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,840 Speaker 1: because Keith Urban is one of my is my favorite 1108 01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:19,320 Speaker 1: country music artist ever. He is the first country music 1109 01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:22,960 Speaker 1: album that I ever purchased. He did something really cool. 1110 01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,360 Speaker 1: We were talking about driving movie theaters. He did a 1111 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:31,200 Speaker 1: drive in concerts. He did a drive in concert Urban 1112 01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,640 Speaker 1: Underground he called it, and it was in um. It 1113 01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:39,560 Speaker 1: was for Tennessee, he's based in Nashville, for the Vanderbilt 1114 01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:44,520 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt Health Hospital frontline workers and about a hundred and 1115 01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,840 Speaker 1: fifty cars, all very socially distant, and he and Live 1116 01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:51,000 Speaker 1: Nations sponsored it and they did a concert for Keith 1117 01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,800 Speaker 1: Urban and a drive in lot and they did a concert. 1118 01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,920 Speaker 1: I thought that was really just awesome, and it's it's 1119 01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:59,840 Speaker 1: I looked at the Bluebird Terminal and there's actually a 1120 01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,640 Speaker 1: story on this. And one of the first driving concerts 1121 01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:04,959 Speaker 1: of the current pandemic era took place in mid March 1122 01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,040 Speaker 1: and it was at an l A supermarket. It's really 1123 01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:10,919 Speaker 1: interesting that live music, which I miss. When I tell 1124 01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,400 Speaker 1: you I miss live music, I miss live music. And 1125 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,040 Speaker 1: not even you know Bruce and Billy, Joel and all that, 1126 01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:18,480 Speaker 1: but even just you know dive bart bands. I just 1127 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,920 Speaker 1: missed that. But it'd be really cool if if some 1128 01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:25,320 Speaker 1: of these bands started packing some some empty lots. Maybe 1129 01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:28,840 Speaker 1: we'll start to see that in Washington, d C. Mayor Bowser, 1130 01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:32,000 Speaker 1: maybe we'll start to see some bands doing some drive 1131 01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:36,360 Speaker 1: in some driving lots there. There there's Keith Urban, Matt Brooks, 1132 01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,520 Speaker 1: Maddie Doubler, Keith's gonna take us out.
