Speaker 2: Nikki Haley, is making her stand in one of the

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: biggest states in play tonight.

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 3: This is a choice between do you want more of

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: the same or do you want something new?

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: Nicki Haley held a rally last night in Fort Worth, Texas.

13
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 2: In all, eight hundred and sixty five Republican delegates are

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: up for grabs this evening. Twelve hundred and fifteen are

15
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: needed to clinch the nomination. Former President Trump picked up

16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: twenty nine more delegates last night in North Dakota, sweeping

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: the state's caucuses with eighty four point six percent of

18
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: the North Dakota vote to Hayley's fourteen point two percent.

19
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: Former President Trump currently has two hundred and seventy three

20
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: delegates to Haley's forty three.

21
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, while it appears we're headed for a Biden

22
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: Trump rematch. Republican strategist and owner of a Red Wave

23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: Communications David Kanchel thinks it'll be a very close race.

24
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 4: Latest round of polls. New York Times Cien Pool in particular,

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 4: has real concern among Democrats for Biden and whether or

26
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 4: not he's going to be able to pull this off,

27
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 4: because you know, his net favorability is terrible, his job

28
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 4: approval is way down. Trump's favorability is actually higher than

29
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 4: Joe Biden's right now, which is kind of funny. We

30
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 4: haven't seen that until, you know, the last couple of

31
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 4: years here, and I think this is going to be

32
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 4: a real nail bier.

33
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: Republican strategist David Kanchell made the comments in an interview

34
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: with Bloomberg's Joe Matthew on Balance of Power to an

35
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: in for special coverage of Super Tuesday, beginning an hour

36
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: after the first polls close. It all starts tonight at

37
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: eight pm Wall Street Time on Bloomberg Radio.

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: Well, Karen, Donald, Trump is going to be allowed to

39
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: compete in today's Colorado primary. That's after the Supreme Court

40
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: unanimously overturned the Colorado Supreme Court's decision to remove him

41
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: under the Constitution's insurrection clause. The US High Court ruled

42
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: that states can't make that call. Former President Trump said

43
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: the result was a milestone.

44
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 5: I think it's a very big day for America.

45
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 6: I think it's a very big day for liberty, and

46
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 6: I think it's just a great day for this country.

47
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: And while the decision was unanimous, the court's three liberal

48
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: justices said the majority went too far into siding the

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: Constitution's insurrection clause can't be enforced without Congress passing a

50
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: law first.

51
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: Well, another election news, Nathan, Today's California primary is turning

52
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: out to be very interesting when it comes to the

53
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: Senate race. Bloomberg's Ed Baxter reports from San Francisco.

54
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 7: The polling has really tightened up here in California so

55
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 7: called jungle primary. The top two vote getters no matter

56
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 7: which party, advance as to the general in November. The

57
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 7: man who presided over the first Trump impeachment, Adam Schiff,

58
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 7: is running well ahead of Democratic contenders Katie Porter and

59
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 7: Barbara Lee. But Scheff has spent money attacking GOP newcomer

60
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 7: former Major leaguer Steve Garvey. Political strategists say it was

61
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 7: thought out in advance to actually help Garvey and boost

62
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 7: his name recognition. Democrats have had no problem winning Senate

63
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 7: seats here over Republicans. Some polling now actually though, has

64
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 7: Garvey in the lead in San Francisco. I'm at Baxter

65
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 7: Bloomberg Radio.

66
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: Okay, and thank you. Turning to markets, futures are lower

67
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: a day after stock slipped from record highs Sam Stoveall,

68
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: chief investment strategist at CFRII, says he would not be

69
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: surprised to see a market pullback.

70
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 6: We're at that point right now where I think that

71
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 6: we could end up digesting some of the recent gains,

72
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 6: but I am encouraged by the fact that we have

73
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 6: never fallen back into a new bear market after recovering

74
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 6: what we lost in the.

75
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: Prior one cfr A Sam Stovall says the next big

76
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: event for markets comes tomorrow when FED Chair J. Powell

77
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: begins semi annual testimony before Congress.

78
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: Well Nathan, Bitcoin's price is closing in on an all

79
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: time high, but in market value terms, that token already

80
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: touched a record. According to data from coin get go,

81
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: the market capitalization of bitcoin reached one point three five

82
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: trillion dollars, and that tops the peak of one point

83
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: two eight trillion in November of twenty twenty one. Now

84
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: is the month of token jumped to just under sixty

85
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: nine thousand dollars and checking bitcoin right now, it's at

86
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: sixty six thousand, six hundred dollars.

87
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: In company news, Karen disappointing iPhone sales for Apple in China.

88
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 2: Let's get the story now from Bloomberg's John Tucker, John.

89
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,119
Speaker 8: And Nate Counterpoint research. His iPhone sales in China fell

90
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 8: and eye opening twenty four percent over the first six

91
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 8: weeks of this year. Buyers may be attorney the cheaper brands.

92
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 8: The top market share went to Vivo, which targets the

93
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 8: budget segment with a handset, accounts for more than half

94
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 8: of Apple sales. To stimulate demand, Apple even resorted to

95
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 8: rare discounts on its web store. In January, Apple fell

96
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 8: below sixteen percent market share from nineteen percent a year ago.

97
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 8: According to the researchers, what China government officials have asked

98
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 8: their employees not to bring foreign devices like iPhones to work.

99
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 8: Apple share is a full and nine percent since the

100
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 8: start of the year, and it lost the title of

101
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 8: world's most valuable company to Microsoft. The pre market shares

102
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 8: this morning down one and a half percent. John Tucker,

103
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 8: Bloomberg Radio.

104
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: All right, John, thanks well. China is having an impact

105
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: on another big US company, Bloomberg has learned. Advanced micro

106
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: Devices has hit a US government roadblock in attempting to

107
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: sell an artificial intelligence chip tailored for the Chinese market.

108
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: Sources AAMD had hoped to gain a green light from

109
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: the Commerce Department to sell the AI processor to Chinese customers,

110
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: but US officials told AMD that the ship was still

111
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: too powerful and that the company must obtain a license

112
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: from Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security in order to

113
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: sell it. The stock is down more than three percent

114
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: this morning.

115
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 2: Well. Meanwhile, Karen China has set its economic growth target

116
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 2: for this year at around five percent. Bloomberg Daybreak Asia

117
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: anchor Brian Curtis has more from Hong Kong.

118
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 5: The target is the same as last year, but it

119
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 5: may be more difficult to attain given the less favorable

120
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 5: comparisons than last year. Authorities will issue one trillion yu

121
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 5: on or one hundred and thirty nine billion dollars of

122
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 5: Ultralong Special Central Government bonds. This is part of a

123
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 5: ramp up in fiscal stimulus, and it moves more debt

124
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 5: to the central government away from the provinces. The budget

125
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 5: deficit projected at three percent of GDP for twenty twenty four,

126
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 5: military spending up seven point two percent. Markets turned up

127
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 5: their noses a little on this, but it's still early.

128
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 5: In Hong Kong. Brian Curtis, Bloomberg Radio.

129
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: All right, Brian, thanks and on the wealth front, for

130
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: the first time in more than nine months, Elon Musk

131
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: is no longer the world's richest person. We get the

132
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: details from Bloomberg's Chirleipellet.

133
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 9: Musk lost his position atop the Bloomberg Billionaires Index to

134
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 9: Jeff Bezos. Musk now has a net worth of one

135
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 9: hundred ninety seven point seven billion. Bezos's fortune is two

136
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 9: hundred point three billion. It is the first time that Bezos,

137
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 9: the founder of Amazon, has topped Bloomberg's ranking of the

138
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 9: richest people since twenty twenty one. The wealth gap between

139
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,119
Speaker 9: Musk and Bezos, which at one point was as wide

140
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 9: as one hundred forty two billion, has been shrinking as

141
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 9: Amazon and Tesla Shar's move in opposite directions. In New

Speaker 1: the other stories making news in New York and around

Speaker 10: for a six week pause to the war in gazap

149
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 10: as well as for Israel to stop blocking aid into

150
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 10: the besiege enclave and for her mass to release the

151
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 10: remaining hostages held there. Meanwhile, the US is planning to

152
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 10: continue to air drop supplies into Gaza. Bloomberg's Nancy lyons

Speaker 3: The United Nations says a quarter of the two point

155
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: three million people in Gaza faced starvation. The Pentagon's Matt

156
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: Miller says the US started air dropping food into the

157
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 3: region over the weekend and will continue distributing aid.

158
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,679
Speaker 4: People are desperate for food, for water, for medicine. Parents

159

Speaker 4: are facing impossible choices about how to feed their children.

160
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: Many don't know where the next meal will come from.

161
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: Miller says these air drops are intended to supplement, not

162
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 3: replace aid. Through other mechanisms, he says the US is

163
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 3: pressing Israel to open additional crossings and routes into Gaza

164
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 3: in Washington. Nancy Lyons Bloomberg Radio.

165
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 10: New York Governor Cathy ho Coal indicated CHAP plans to

166
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 10: increase the number of law enforcement officers in the city

167
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 10: subway system. The development comes after Hokll met with Mayor

168
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 10: Eric Adams and the NYPD's Chief of Transit to find

169
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 10: ways to put more state resources in the subway system.

170
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 10: That is on top the one thousand extra VIPD officers

171
00:08:59,200 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 10: in the.

172
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 11: Subway, seeing more police on the platform, more cameras. As

173
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 11: you know, I am the one who said that every

174
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 11: single car has to have cameras on it. And because

175
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 11: I kept pushing and not taking no for an answer

176
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 11: or that we can't do it for a few years

177
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 11: and lall be done. By the end of this year,

178
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 11: we've over two thousand trains that have cameras on them

179
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 11: and that has been very helpful in solving crimes as

180
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 11: well as the platforms. And and I want every make

181
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 11: sure that every conductor's booth area has cameras as well.

182
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 10: The NYPD says the subway system is seen a rise

183
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 10: in major crimes by more than thirteen percent compared to

184
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 10: the same time last year, President Joe Biden's administration is

185
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 10: announcing a final rule curtailing credit card late fees. The

186
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 10: Consumer Financial Protection BUA estimates its move the slash credit

187
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 10: card late fees would say of an average of two

Speaker 10: I'm Michael Barr. This is Bloomberg Nathan.

193
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: All right, Michael, thank you time now for the Bloomberg

194
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: Sports Up. They brought to you by Tri State Outy

195
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: Your's John Stashauer.

196
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 12: Thanks Dathan. The Rangers were the hottest team in hockey

197
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 12: really loft ten straight wins where they've lost through their

198
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 12: last four. The hottest team now the Florida Panthers. At

199
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 12: the Garden, they made it eleven of the last twelve.

200
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 12: Sam Reinhardt two second period goals numbers forty three and

201
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 12: forty four in the season. Panthers scored two more third

202
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 12: period beat the Rangers four to two. Florida has the

203
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 12: most point in the NHL. Plays again tonight at New Jersey.

204
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 12: The Devil's now being coached by Travis Green, formerly the

205
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 12: coach in Vancouver. He was an assistant to Lindy Ruff.

206
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 12: He was just fired in his fourth season in Jersey.

207
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 12: The Devils thirty and twenty seven. They've lost five of

208
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 12: their last seven. Bruins won four to one in Toronto, NBA.

209
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 12: The Nets lost at home to Memphis one o six,

210
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 12: one oh two. Wizards lost in Utah. For Washington, that's

211
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 12: fifteen losses in a row. Yankees went to Jupiter beat

212
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 12: the Marlins three to two. Clark Schmidt looks ready for

213
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 12: the season. Four scoreless Sennings allowed only one hit. The

214
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 12: ex met pitcher Zach Wheeler has flourished in Philadelphia has

215
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 12: now cashed in a year ahead of free agency. Wheeler

216
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 12: gets a new deal with the Phillies for three years,

217
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 12: one hundred and twenty six million. Spaking of Philadelphia, that's

218
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 12: where Jason Kelsey was yesterday, emotionally making his retirement official

219
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 12: after thirteen seasons as a fan favorite and anchoring the

220
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 12: Eagles offensive line.

221
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 13: I don't know what's next, but I look forward to

222
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 13: the new challenges and opportunities that'll wait. And I know

223
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 13: that I carry with me the lessons for my time here,

224
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 13: and that forever. We shall all share the bond of

225
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 13: being Philadelphia's.

226
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 12: Next for Kelsey may well be a broadcasting gig. What's

227
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 12: next for Russell Wilson? Released by Denver after two lackluster

228
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 12: seasons there, he becomes a thirty five year old free

229
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 12: agent quarterback. You don't have to pay him much money

230
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 12: because Wilson's assured of making thirty nine million to the Broncos.

231
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: John Stashchetwe're Bloombrook Sports. Nathan Okay, John, thank you. We

232
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: want to get right back to this marquee day in

233
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: the presidential primary race. Sixteen states and one teary Award

234
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 2: delegates on this Super Tuesday, and it could be the

235
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 2: day Donald Trump all but seals the deal for the

236
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 2: Republican nomination. We are joined now by Greg Valier, chief

237
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: US policy strategists for AGF Investments. Greg, good morning. Do

238
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: you see any states where it could be a contest today?

239
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 14: Not really, Nathan, good Morning. It would be face to

240
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 14: watch California, Texas fates like that. But frankly, I think

241
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 14: the big story to watch is going to be what

242
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 14: Nicky Haley does. She may be gone by the end

243
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 14: of the week.

244
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: That is the big question. What will Nicky Haley do if,

245
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: as expected, she doesn't win any states tonight.

246
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's awfully hard to see her staying in. It's

247
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 14: a battle, as you know, for delegates, and she's just

248
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 14: doing very poorly on delegates. She can claim that, you know,

249
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 14: thirty percent of the party likes her and would vote

250
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 14: for her, but that is not going to get her

251
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 14: the nomination.

252
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: It might not get her the nomination greg but it

253
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: does raise the question of where those thirty percent of

254
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: votes that went for Nikki Haley go. Does former President

255
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 2: Trump reach out in some way to those voters?

256
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 14: Yes, I think one of the surprises of the spring

257
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 14: will be that Trump is more conciliatory with Republicans who

258
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 14: don't like him. I think he's shrewd enough to realize

259
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 14: their votes are really important. So I think that Haley

260
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 14: will probably offer a half hearted endorsement of Trump. But

261
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 14: even that I think could make a difference in the

262
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 14: suburban voters in Pennsylvania moderates in Pennsylvania, so there's high

263
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 14: stakes in what she does.

264
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: There would be interesting if she did give even a

265
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: half hearted endorsement, because as we heard over the weekend,

266
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: she's hinting that she might not stick to her RNC

267
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: pledge to endorse the eventual nominee. Could Nikki Haley continue

268
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: to be something of a gadfly in this race even

269
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: if she doesn't go on from here?

270
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 14: She could, But I think her focus is going to

271
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 14: shift rapidly to the twenty twenty eight primary. I know

272
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 14: that's a long way off. We haven't even had these primaries,

273
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 14: but I think that she would realize as Ronald Reagan did,

274
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 14: by the way, in nineteen seventy six, Reagan said all right,

275
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 14: I'm not going to run, and then he waited until

276
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 14: nineteen eighty and he won the presidency. And she's young,

277
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 14: she'd be fifty five fifty six during the twenty twenty

278
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 14: eight primaries. I think she will start thinking that that

279
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 14: could be her real opportunity.

280
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: If this does turn out to be a decisive night,

281
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: it's going to set up the longest general election contest

282
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 2: in recent memory, for a rematch that the polls show

283
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: most Americans don't want. What could that mean for the

284
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: fatigue factor heading into November.

285
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 14: It's a good point, Nathan. I have lots of friends

286
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 14: in Canada, and I tell him I'm jealous because their

287
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 14: campaigns last about six weeks, which seems normal unlike what

288
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 14: we have, so yes, fatigue. There could be speculation about,

289
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 14: you know, maybe a long shot third party candidate like

290
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 14: Robert F. Kennedy Junior. But it's these two guys. I

291
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 14: don't see anyone else really changing the outlook.

292
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: And when it comes to the Democratic primary, are you

293
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: looking for any potential warning signs for President Biden in

294
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: the Super Tuesday like we saw from Michigan last.

295
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 14: Week could be good point. I think that there could

296
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 14: be more states that have uncommitted. That embarrasses the White House.

297
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 14: It highlights the controversy over the Israeli war with Hamas,

298
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 14: and it's an added annoyance that Trump that Biden does

299
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 14: not need.

300
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 2: And how could this set up the State of the

301
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: Union address that we're going to get on Thursday night?

302
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: You got about thirty seconds left.

303
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 14: Sure this address is going to require Joe Biden to

304
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 14: be flawless, no gas, no stumbling. It's got to be

305
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 14: a flawless address because if it's not, his ratings could

306
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 14: go down even more.

307
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,880
