1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: Under Savannahs this morning, making a difference.

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 3: Let me be very clear. MY presidency will not be

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 3: a continuation of Joe Biden's presidency. And like every new

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 3: president that comes in to office, I will bring my

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 3: life experiences, my professional experiences, and fresh and new ideas.

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 3: I represent a new generation of leadership. I invite ideas,

8
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 3: whether it be from the Republicans, with business sector and

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 3: others who can contribute to the decisions that I make.

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 4: Here's the lacest this morning, the Vice President putting some

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 4: distance between herself and President Biden, with election day less

12
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,959
Speaker 4: than three weeks away, and new polling from Fox News

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 4: showing Donald Trump leading Kamala Harris by two points, joining

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 4: us not to discuss a good friend of this program

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 4: over the years. The governor of Connecticut, Ned Lamont. Governor,

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 4: it's good to see us, sir, I see you. Welcome

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 4: back to the program. She's taking some risks, some risks

18
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 4: that may be this campaign wouldn't have taken maybe month ago.

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: Do you like what you say?

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, take those risks.

21
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 5: Go right into the lions Den, go right there with

22
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 5: Brett Bair, go back and forth you know, Donald Trump

23
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 5: won't even debate again, and she's having a pretty good debate.

24
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Is it too late though?

25
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 6: Should she have done this interview two weeks a month ago?

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: But the week been a candidate for ninety days. I

27
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: think she's moving along.

28
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 5: I mean, Donald Trump won't go on ABC without syllium,

29
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 5: So I think she's doing okay.

30
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 6: Do you think she's evolving as a candidate? Then over

31
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 6: the course we've seen since July.

32
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 5: I think so everything has been so compressed for her

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 5: and Tim.

34
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: But now we're in the final stretch.

35
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,479
Speaker 6: So this weekend you're hosting a fundraiser for Governor Walls,

36
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,839
Speaker 6: her running mate. Have you been happy with his performance

37
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 6: as her running mate? Supporting Kamala Harris?

38
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: Look? I love Tim.

39
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 5: He and I were elected at the same time, all

40
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 5: the governors, both sides of the aisle.

41
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: He's so genuine and so real.

42
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 5: We like governors, by the way, you know, governors have

43
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 5: to balance budgets and living real world, unlike these other guys.

44
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 5: I think he's a going to be a great vice president.

45
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 6: So you're praising some of his work. He used to

46
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 6: be when he was in Congress, A blue dog Democrat,

47
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 6: a moderate. As a governor, he's very liberal, legalizing marijuana

48
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 6: licenses to undocument immigration immigrants in his state. Do you

49
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 6: think that given his record as governor, he was the

50
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 6: right choice for a general election when the Democratic Party

51
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 6: needed to be seen as coming into the middle, especially

52
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 6: after VP Harris's foot flops from her primary.

53
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: I don't know.

54
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 5: Legalizing marijuana does that make you liberal? I thought it

55
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 5: was sort of libertarian. I think you see that happening

56
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 5: in states across the country, you know, fighting for a

57
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 5: woman's right to choose, that's about freedom. I don't think

58
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 5: that's particularly liberal. Like I said, he balances budgets, so

59
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 5: I think he's got a pretty good balance there.

60
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: He's pragmatic.

61
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 7: Well, there's a question here about how much the Harriswald

62
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 7: campaign is really going to reach out to business. And

63
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 7: Tim Wallas is going to Furnish, Connecticut where he's going

64
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 7: to be talked with a lot of business people. How

65
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 7: are they responding to some of their concerns, whether it's

66
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 7: about tax increases, whether it's about having a viable immigration policy,

67
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 7: or frankly, when it comes to antitrust and the ability

68
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 7: to understand whether or not mena CON's Kerman in the FTC.

69
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: I like the fact they're reaching out the business.

70
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 5: You know, I think the Biden administration was a little

71
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 5: more ideological. I think Harris Waltz are much more pragmatic.

72
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: I've seen that crypto.

73
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 5: I've seen that what they want to do with capital

74
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 5: gains and not do as much as President Biden.

75
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: They take the deficit very seriously, as do I. Nobody

76
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: else seems to.

77
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,839
Speaker 5: But I think their outreach makes sense, and I'm proud

78
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 5: he's coming to Greenwich to tell the story.

79
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 7: Do you have a sense of what they're going to

80
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 7: do with any trust.

81
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't. That's not sort of an insight I have.

82
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 5: My instinct is if they talk about pricing increases, they

83
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 5: worry a little bit about monopoly pricing and pricing power,

84
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 5: so probably they'll be strict when it comes to anti trust.

85
00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: One thing that.

86
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 7: You've talked a lot about with US is this question

87
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 7: around immigration, and you're talking about how there are people

88
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 7: coming to Connecticut. That made you really gut check some

89
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 7: of the assumptions. Do you think that there is anything

90
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 7: further that they can do. Tim Walton and Kamala Harris

91
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 7: campaign to sort of change the narrative that their immigration

92
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 7: policies led to a lot of problems.

93
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: I start with the.

94
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 5: Fact that this is a country built on immigration, legal immigration.

95
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 5: That's part of our economic strength, unlike other parts of

96
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 5: the world, people keeping out. If they had asked me

97
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 5: a last night was serference between you and President Biden,

98
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 5: I would have said, mister Briden, give me the tools

99
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 5: I need to shut down the border to illegal immigration.

100
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: I think that's what Kamla should have said, and I

101
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: think that's what she believes.

102
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 4: Why do you think she wants to say it? I

103
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 4: think this is the problem that people have right now.

104
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 4: A frame it as follows. You say she's pragmatic. You

105
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: say that both pragmatic. Other people might use a less

106
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 4: kind phrase. They might say she's a shape shifter. She

107
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 4: just wants to get elected. Untrustworthy. These are the values,

108
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: the thoughts, the policy. If just five years ago and

109
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 4: now to the sudden they're over here, how can we

110
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 4: trust them. What's the message to the electorate with that

111
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 4: in mind?

112
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 5: What talk about a shape shifter? Talk about no principles.

113
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 5: We're talking about Donald Trump there. Look, I think you

114
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 5: know where she stands on these issues. Look, she was

115
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 5: a vice President, Jonathan, vice president's not worth a war

116
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 5: buncket a spit, and it's every saying, boy, you were

117
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 5: on board with the Biden administration, that's sort of your

118
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 5: job as vice president. Now she's been a candidate for

119
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 5: ninety days and I think she's showing her stuff.

120
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 6: But if you think the vice president's job is that important,

121
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 6: then how is she qualified for this job? If she's

122
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 6: running on some of her time in office as vice president.

123
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 5: I think it's a pretty good training ground, don't you.

124
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 5: I mean jd Vance stopped by the US Senator for

125
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:49,679
Speaker 5: a cup of coffee.

126
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 1: You know, she's been a front and center as a senator.

127
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: She's been front center as vice president.

128
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 5: I think she's got the training, the experience she needs

129
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 5: to be a really good president.

130
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 6: So some states already vote. I know Connecticut, now you

131
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 6: can go out and vote on Monday. I saw that

132
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 6: you said you're going to vote on Monday, getting there early.

133
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 6: What does she need to do as really, people are

134
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 6: already out and about voting. It's not like she has

135
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 6: time before November fifth. The time is now, the election

136
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 6: has already started.

137
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: I'm just urging what my friends.

138
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 5: I'm a little worried, you know, the guys in sort

139
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 5: of finance world that I know.

140
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: Maybe it wasn't so.

141
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 5: Bad under the Trump administration. Maybe I'll sit this one

142
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 5: out like drunken Miller. No way, this is a transcendental

143
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 5: of vote we've got coming up here right now. I

144
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 5: came in the office under President Trump. The government was

145
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 5: shut down. Remember every time you didn't get your own way,

146
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 5: you shut down the government. You know. Then we had

147
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 5: COVID and he said, we don't have a stockpal you

148
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 5: don't have any stock. Oh.

149
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: We had to go to China to buy our masks.

150
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 5: It was dysfunctional there for two and a half years.

151
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: This election is that important.

152
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 5: I can't stand people saying, maybe i'll set this one out.

153
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: Let's get into some of the issues.

154
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 4: You could have very low unemployment right and decided something

155
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 4: around three and a half percent pounder finance because people

156
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: have been leaving the state.

157
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: We all want legal immigration.

158
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 4: In fact, the former president of South Donald Trump, in

159
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 4: a conversation with US, actually talked about that that he

160
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 4: wants legal immigration. How are we going to achieve that

161
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 4: as a country. It's something that I think a lot

162
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: of us can agree on. That's what we want. I

163
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 4: went through a very long process to be here. I

164
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 4: know how difficult it is. How do we make it

165
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 4: easy for people to come here legally to fill the

166
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 4: job openings that you have in a state like Connecticut.

167
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, challenge are bretech.

168
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 5: So we have a lower unemployment rate than the rest

169
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 5: of the countries, not because people are leaving the state.

170
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 5: In fact, for the first time in the generation, people

171
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 5: are moving in the state. Some of them are coming

172
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 5: from New York, and I'm really proud of that fact.

173
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 5: How do you keep that economic momentum going, You know,

174
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 5: for us manufacturing on shoring manufacturing, we have a lot

175
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 5: in the defense trade.

176
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: They're growing.

177
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 5: It's a bigger piece of our economy. Fintech and life

178
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 5: sciences sort of the next generation. We had a lot

179
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 5: of old industries Jonathan, right, that was sort of our

180
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 5: reputation no longer.

181
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, but you're talking about what policy is going forward?

182
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 7: Can there be to be implemented that actually can be

183
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 7: viable immigration policies?

184
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: I guess the.

185
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 7: Bigger takeaway is you said that a lot of your

186
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 7: business friends and colleagues are on the fence, like Druck

187
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 7: and Miller, don't want to vote necessarily feel like it's

188
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 7: an equal chance between the two. What do you think

189
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 7: is driving them to feel that way? What do you

190
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 7: think is the most misunderstood policy that you kind of

191
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 7: want to underscore and want them to understand.

192
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: I think.

193
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 5: For a lot of those folks, cut my taxes is

194
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 5: kind of determinant of their despite what it means to

195
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 5: the deficits, despite what it means to make in investments.

196
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: Look, you know what I like about commos. She's not

197
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: talking about handing out money to people. She's talking about opportunities.

198
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 5: She's saying with daycare, I'm going to give you the

199
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 5: opportunity to start your own business.

200
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: It's an ownership economy.

201
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 5: I think it's a different field than we had for

202
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 5: the last four years.

203
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: Governor, you're always generous with your time.
