1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: She has a wonderful career. She's at being a Bloomberg

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: BNA out of the University of Minnesota, Duluth. Nancy Agnanovich

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: probably knows more about the corridors a Capitol Hill than

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: any non elected person on planet. She knows the Senate differentials,

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: the House differentials, and away from the everyday back and forth,

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: she actually knows the pulse of the place. We are

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: honored that she's with us now again with Bloomberg BNA.

8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: Nancy Agnanovitch, Nancy, you've been doing this for twenty x

9
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: number of years. What's the flavor as we wander into

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: the summer of two thousand and sixteen, How numbed is

11
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill? Well? You, first of all, you're very kind.

12
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: I appreciate what you just said. And you rounded down

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,319
Speaker 1: to what we do that on surveillance, Mike, and we're

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: good at that. We're very good at the little bit

15
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: of math we're gonna do today. Okay, I like that

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: math well. As the House of Representatives staggered out of

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: town yesterday or at the end of the week here,

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: it's just not looking so good. They wanted to get

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: back to regular order. Both the House and the Senate

20
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: Republican leaders and do all of these spending bills to

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: run the government. They wanted to do them this summer

22
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: to remove any threat of a government shut down this

23
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: fall when the election years. But so far they've only

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: been able to do one of their spending bills and

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 1: that didn't really go so well. And yesterday they lost

26
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: one of the most popular bipartisan bills, and so right

27
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: now it's not looking so good and they have to

28
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: rejigger and reevaluate. And when they come back, they only

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: have twelve legislative I'm sorry, twenty legislative days before they

30
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: leave July fifteen for seven week recess, so they don't

31
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: have a lot of time to figure it out. The

32
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: best laid plans of mice men and Speakers of the

33
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: House Paul Ryan wanted to pass all twelve appropriations bills. Uh,

34
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: clearly we're headed for another continuing resolution. It appears oh

35
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: at adam iniumum. Yes. And the question is when that

36
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: gets passed and what it does and how long it

37
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: goes for, whether it goes until the lame dock or

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: next year. Was there anyone talking about a government shutdown? Obviously,

39
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: if you don't pass the bill. It's possible, but does

40
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: anybody want that ahead of the election. Well, the leadership

41
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: does not want that. I mean Mitch McConnell has been

42
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: clear for over a year. Then he wanted to avoid

43
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: that at all costs because his whole goal has been

44
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: to show that the Republican UM Party can govern UM.

45
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: That would help them win the White House back, plus

46
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: it helps them with their own elections. And Paul Ryan

47
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: is supportive of getting these bills bills done. But it's

48
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: a lot tougher than you would think because there are

49
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: people in the Republican caucus perhaps that are not adverse

50
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: to shut down. For example, Ted Cruz was credited with

51
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: the thirteen government shutdown, and are people in the House

52
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: freedom cocking who might not be adverse to that, So

53
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: they they aren't united completely, Nancy, The rust Belt states

54
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: are front and center. I believe there are Rust Belt

55
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: congress people and Senate people. The Rust Belt starts with

56
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: a rust dug up and the iron or range of

57
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 1: where you grew up, like Chisholm, Minnesota, which has basically

58
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: been d peopled for fifty years. You've got original perspective

59
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: on the Rust Belt. What would be your perspective for

60
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: Secretary Clinton and Mr Trump is they try to take

61
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: those states, Well, you have to talk about the jobs

62
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: that have been lost, and for example, on the Iron

63
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: Range and a lot of the plants there, um cacconie

64
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: plants have been shut down. You're talking to people who

65
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: could get good jobs and work at those jobs their

66
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: whole lives and basically the mining and manufacturing actor and

67
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: those jobs increasingly have been lost. And you have to

68
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: talk to these to those people and talk about what

69
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: they've lost and how tough it is to get jobs

70
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: like that that provide not only a living wage, a

71
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: very good wage, but also benefits. Are the people on

72
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: your Capitol hill of either party, are they linked with

73
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: their candidate or are their candidates so East coast they're

74
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: not going to be able to speak to the rust belt. Well,

75
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: I I can't really speak to Donald Trump. I don't

76
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: think he's hit the Iron Range yet. And actually, actually

77
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: I don't know how many people have either party have

78
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: made their way up there. But it's but these are

79
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: the same issues that are affecting, you know, the voters

80
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: in Ohio and Indiana and Illinois and so on, and

81
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: the and the message is the same. You have to

82
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: recognize all of the manufacturing jobs that went overseas well. University.

83
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: I know you're not as a Bloomberg employees supposed to

84
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: give your opinion, but at somebody from the Iron Range

85
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: in the University of Minnesota, Da Luth you must have

86
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: an opinion. Penguins or sharks? What's that again? The penguins

87
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: are the sharks in the Stanley Cup? Well, were you

88
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: talking about the Stanley Cup frequently? This is your Stanley

89
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: Cup station here. Oh, Minnesota is still bitter about the

90
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: North Stars leaving for Dallas. I mean, talk about a

91
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: betrayal right there. That was a massive betrayal. Nancy Grandanevitch,

92
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: thank you so much. With Bloomberg being a Mike, I

93
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: need to point out from her heritage that one archibald

94
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: moon like Graham who had a passing look looked a

95
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: little bit like Burt Lancaster, was from Chisholm, Minnesota. Oh,

96
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: there you go, Reconsilla recon Sella dropped him off there.

97
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: It was in a dream, absolutely, in a dream. That

98
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: was wonderful. Nancy Agnanovitch, Bloomberg, BNA and the spirit of

99
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill is interesting. What she said about getting out

100
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 1: of dodge,
