1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: The influencers. I would rather say a congressional solution. It's 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 1: part of my DNA. The Senate map in looks a 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 1: lot different than it looked in. President Trump was sent 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: here to smash conventional norms in a sense, Bernie Sanders 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: has already one. This is Bloomberg sound On on Bloomberg 6 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: two ratings from the Palmetto State. I'm Kevin Sirelli. She've 7 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: blotched the correspondent fro Bloomberg Television and Bloomberg Radio broadcasting 8 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: live from Charleston, South Carolina. It's beautiful down here, even 9 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 1: when it's raining. I'm telling you, we all did something wrong. 10 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: We all should have packed up and moved to Charleston. 11 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: We've got a great show today, full of political insiders 12 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: and analysts, and they're gonna walk us through a preview 13 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:51,840 Speaker 1: of tomorrow's Democratic presidential debate ahead of saturdays South Carolina contest. 14 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: It's a firewall, folks for former Vice President Joe Biden 15 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: and Bernie Sanders appears poised to be on the cusp, 16 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: the cuss of clinching the Democratic nomination even if he 17 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: doesn't get the delegates that are needed. And President Trump 18 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: in India, President Trump in India and a massive rally, 19 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: bigger than any truthfully, any crowd I've ever seen, really 20 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: gathered for the President of massive outdoor stadium packed with 21 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: Indians to hear the President and Prime Minister Modi speak. 22 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: So we'll dive into the trade deals of all around 23 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: the world and the latest on the political fronts. I'm 24 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: Kevin Severely, Chief Washington correspondent from Bloomberg Television and Bloomberg Radio, 25 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,559 Speaker 1: and I am here in Charleston, and I gotta be honest, 26 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: I'm having a great day, even though I had to 27 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: fly out of the dullest to get here. But it's 28 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: raining a little bit here, but it's beautiful. If you've 29 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: never been to Charleston, South Carolina, you're doing something wrong. 30 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: The reason we're here is not because I'm on vacation, folks, 31 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: but because tomorrow is the Democratic presidential debate, and it's 32 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: gonna be If if Las Vegas was any indication tomorrow 33 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: nights the base debate, I didn't want to miss that 34 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: for anything. So we're gonna have complete coverage of that, 35 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: and let's kick things off with that, just especially as 36 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: Senator Bernie Sanders the Independent Senator caucuses with Democrats, like 37 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 1: he's technically a Democrat. Now, he won the Nevada caucus 38 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 1: handedly decisively. It wasn't even close on Saturday, and thankfully 39 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: between us, there wasn't any security debacles, like there wasn't 40 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 1: um Iowa. Brendan Bucks here in Washington, d C. Rather 41 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: at our Bloomberg Washington d C Bureau. He's the former 42 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: spokesman and advisor to House Speaker Paul Ryan. Now he's 43 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: a partner at seven letter Um, a firm in Washington, 44 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: d C. And Atiba mad June is also in Washington, 45 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: d C. He is the founder and president of Party 46 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: Politics US and he is the president and founder of 47 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: the Matt Yune Group consulting firm. You can see all 48 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: of his writings and columns on places like The Huffington 49 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: Post and Anna Edgerton Bloomberg Politics Editor, my good friend 50 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: and Edric Danna. Let's let's let's begin with Bernie. I mean, 51 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 1: he really is on the cusp of winning this thing. 52 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: That's right, and at this point it looks like it's 53 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: all about momentum and Bernie is definitely the person who 54 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: has it. So you know, as we go into South Carolina, 55 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: that's obviously a very crucial state for former Vice President 56 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Bernie Sanders still expects to do pretty well there, 57 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: But when we go into the Super Tuesday states, Super 58 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: Tuesday being March three, it's going to be just kind 59 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: of a free for all to see who can collect 60 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: the most delegates. And right now, Bernie Sanders has really 61 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: strong grassroots organization in those states, has really strong support, 62 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: has the finances to keep going and spread himself out 63 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: throughout all of those states. So he has the momentum, 64 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: he has the resources, he has the kind of network 65 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: on the ground, so it's gonna be really hard for 66 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: anyone to catch up with him, especially if he emerges 67 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: from um South Carolina not too far behind Joe Biden 68 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: and merges from Super Tuesday with a pretty hefty delegate lead. 69 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: Brendan thanks Handa for that. I mean, from the Biden campaign. 70 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: This is a must in here in South Carolina. They're 71 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: really banking on the support of the African American community. 72 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: But they've got to win this and if not, I mean, 73 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: I guess they their neck and neck on some Super 74 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: Tuesday states, but it would be a devastating upset if 75 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: Biden didn't win here in South Carolina. Yeah, and you know, 76 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: expectations are high for him, and he's basically been the 77 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: ones setting that you know, he's been saying for for 78 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: months now that you know the first two states aren't 79 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: reflective of demographics of the party, which is true in 80 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: Iowa and New Hampshire. But then you go to a 81 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: state like Nevada where you actually do have a more 82 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: diverse population, and uh, Sanders ran away with it again. 83 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: Um so yeah, I mean, Joe Biden certainly has to 84 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: win here. But I think even if he does win, 85 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: I don't really know how he can carry forward. Uh. 86 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: He doesn't have the money, he doesn't have any real 87 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: ground game to speak of, and all the rest of 88 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: these states. I mean, I hate to, you know, say 89 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: it's over, but it feels like it's pretty much over. 90 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: I think this is now a Bernie Sanders versus Donald 91 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: Trump election. It it it feels that way. A TIBA. And 92 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: let me ask you this, if if if Senator Sanders, 93 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: see I'm trying to correct myself from calling him just Bernie, 94 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: if Senator Sanders doesn't get and the delegates a tiba, 95 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: what number of delegate which is the threshold that you 96 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: need in order to technically clinch the Democratic nomination according 97 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: to the d n C rules, what number of delegates 98 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: a TIBA do you think that he needs to get 99 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: in order to be able to say to the competitors, Hey, 100 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: this thing is lock away. I think that would probably 101 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: have to be somewhere closer to seventeen hundred hundred. But 102 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: I think that Bernie's building the momentum right at the 103 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: right time. I agree, And if you look at the 104 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: last debate, I think if there's anyone else that seems 105 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: to be able to I don't want to say counter 106 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: but go at him, will probably be Um Warren Um, 107 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: but she's faded at this point. I think Um. I 108 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: think that Bernie right now is the one is the 109 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: person to look for. And I think I don't think 110 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: that it's going to be as contested as people think. 111 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: I think South Carolina is gonna tell us a lot. 112 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: Tab you're an insider. You talked to all of the 113 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: various different campaigns, and you know this better than any 114 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: that well, I'm hoping you know the answer to this 115 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: question better than anybody. Are you anticipating any calls for 116 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: significant dropouts before Super Tuesday? I think, Wow, such as 117 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: sinister laugh. I think there are a number of people 118 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: who would like to see it down. It's about three 119 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: or four because right now, all of this is it 120 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: plays into the hands of I think Bernie Sanders. You know, 121 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: there's this division. But where we saw come out of 122 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: Nevada is a young electorate that is fired up, fired up, 123 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: ready to go, and they're energized, and they are I 124 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: think they're excited to see that Bernie has has made 125 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: it to where he is now because I mean, just 126 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: a few months ago when he had the heart attack, 127 00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people weren't thinking that he was going 128 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: to be where he is now, and he has had 129 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: staying power. He's still here, and I think he's really 130 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: the person to be looking at. And I might say 131 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: something a little controversial right now, and and so I've 132 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: been I was thinking about this when I was walking 133 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,119 Speaker 1: over here. How do I get this point across without 134 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: But if based upon my reporting Anna Edgerton, Bloomberg News 135 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: Politics editor, the only people who are saying that the 136 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,679 Speaker 1: party doesn't want Bernie are actually no one, not anyone 137 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: at the d n C, according to my reporting, and 138 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: and nor is it anyone. It's the campaign officials of 139 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: all the other campaigns. They're pushing this narrative that no 140 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: one could unite behind Bernie, when in reality, I don't 141 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: hear that from d n C officials, do you. Well, 142 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: that's a very tricky thing for d NC officials to 143 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: say out loud, especially given the history with Bernie Sanders 144 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: and Hillary Clinton. They are making every effort possible to 145 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: make sure that they do not appear bias against Bernie Sanders. 146 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: Where I've heard it is from moderate Democrats in Congress. 147 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: You know Elaine for example, a congresswoman from Virginia, from 148 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: Virginia Beach. She was kind of on a tweet storm 149 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: today against Bernie Sanders, saying that she didn't appreciate his 150 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: comments about a pack the um Israeli the prose really live, 151 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: she didn't appreciate his comments about Cuba and Cuba's education system. 152 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: She tweeted a picture of herself voting early for Joe Biden. 153 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: Now she has come out and endorsed Joe Biden, I believe, 154 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: so you know, we know who she supports. But she 155 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: was very clearly coming out strongly against Bernie Sanders, most 156 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: likely trying to put distance between herself and Bernie Sanders 157 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: the Democratic Socialists. She's running in a state in district 158 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: that she took from a Republican in eighteen and she 159 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 1: has to make sure that she paints herself as an 160 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: independent moderate voice, is going to speak for her district 161 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: and not be wedded to any kind of socialist agenda 162 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: or perceptions of what that might include. I want to 163 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: talk more about that coming up, because I got some 164 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: follow ups on whether or not it's just the other campaign. 165 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: I mean, because the Bernie supporters could say the exact 166 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: same thing to the Democratic establishment that they don't want. 167 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: They don't want the moderate coming up much more from 168 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: the Palmetto State. I'm Kevin Cirelli, Chief Washington correspondent for 169 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Television and Radio. And you're listening to Bloomberg. You're 170 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,119 Speaker 1: listening to Bloomberg Sound On with Kevin Shirley on Bloomberg 171 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: and one oh five point seven f M HD two. 172 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 1: It's not make or break. It all depends upon how 173 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: it comes out. It could be, it doesn't have to be. 174 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: I think make or Break's probably the following on Tuesday, 175 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: Super Tusia, and that was Congressman James Clyberg. He is 176 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: a Democrat from South Carolina. He's backed Joe Biden, the 177 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: former vice president. Uh. He was speaking to ABC's George 178 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: Stefanopolis over the weekend on This Week on the Sunday 179 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: Show about whether or not South Carolina is a make 180 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: or break uh, about whether or not is a break 181 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: moment for Joe Biden. I'm Kevin Cirelli, Chief Washington correspondent 182 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: for Bloomberg Television of Bloomberg Radio, and I'm here in Charleston, 183 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: South Carolina. I'm so excited to cover tomorrow night's Democratic 184 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: presidential debate. And you can tune in right here one 185 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: tomorrow for full coverage of the debate, and that starts 186 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: at seven thirty pm. We're gonna be in the spin 187 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: room floor like we always are, and it's that Vegas debate. 188 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: I'm still still coming out of that. We've got an 189 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: all star panel here to help us again. We're gonna 190 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: dive into policy coming up, but I want to stick 191 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: with the debate and the democratic dynamics for just a 192 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: little bit longer. And Edgerton is a Bloomberg Politics editor 193 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: in d c A. Tiba. Matt Yune is founder and 194 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: president of Party Politics US and the president and founder 195 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: of the Matt Yune Group consulting firm in Washington, and 196 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: running Buck a good friend of the program. He's the 197 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: former spokesman and adviser to House Speaker Paul Ryan and 198 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,839 Speaker 1: a partner at Seventh Letter at TIBA, I want to 199 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: come back to you where we left things off, and essentially, 200 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: so much of the narrative concocted in the mainstream press 201 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: is that moderate Democrats, moderate establishment Democrats do not want 202 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: to see Sanders run away with this thing. However, the shoe, 203 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 1: I mean the shoe. Also, I'm I'm fumbling my metaphors, 204 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: but you could flip that and say the same thing, 205 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: that the Sanders camp doesn't want to see a moderate 206 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: Democrat run away with it. And so I wonder if 207 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: almost the arguments canceled each other out. Every time you 208 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: ask me a question, I found myself kind of laughing, Yeah, 209 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: I know, I like it, and it's not an evil laugh, 210 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: it's just I think it's it just goes to show 211 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: his last words. A lot of people aren't talking about 212 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: the dysfunction within the Democratic Party, and I think the 213 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 1: dysfunction has to do with a meeting across roads. We've 214 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: got older candidates who I think we've got more seven 215 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: year old candidates in this race than we've seen in 216 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: prior years. We have a younger electorate that is come 217 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: forth that's upset about a number of issues, whether or 218 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: not it's gun control and inability to get any legislation passed. 219 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: There that feel that college education is out of reach 220 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: because it's too expensive, that are seeing the brunt of 221 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: health care insurance, and they also have come into the 222 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: workforce after the recession that we had in two thousand 223 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: and eight. So there are a number of I think 224 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 1: things that are at play here that create this unbalanced 225 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: political spectrum. Whether or not it's progressives or this socialist idea, 226 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: I think that overall it's all playing out to create 227 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: more divisions. But I don't know what this is gonna 228 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: end up being. I don't know how this is going 229 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: to end up looking. I don't think any of us do, 230 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: and I think all of us are taking guesses as 231 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: to what this is going to look like come July 232 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: when we get to the Democratic Convention. See respectfully, I 233 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: would say that we kind of know what it's gonna 234 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: look like. That Sanders is likely going to have the 235 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: most delegates he's likely not going to get and there's 236 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: gonna be this conversation about whether or not he has 237 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: enough delegates. It's a clinch the nomination. And I think 238 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: what's been remarkable is just how similar this is, Brendan 239 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: buck to last cycle. You know, I was home, Well 240 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: let me let me just let's go there first. I 241 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: mean you, having been on the inside of former Speaker 242 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: Paul Ryan uh for a long time, you remember vividly 243 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: the fight of last cycle in when just as then 244 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: candidate Donald Trump was getting ready to walk away with 245 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: the nomination, there was this sav exack debate that we're 246 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: having that the left is having now on the right 247 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: about whether or not the RNC could ever back someone 248 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: like Trump. It would be devastating for down ballot races 249 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: and he would never win and the whole party would 250 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 1: be over and it and really it was, well, know, 251 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: the voters are voting, and this is what they want. 252 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: Democrats are voting and as of now they want Bernie Sanders. Brendan, Yeah, 253 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: a few things there. Certainly this does feel extremely familiar. 254 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: I remember calling Paul, former Speaker and saying, uh, Donald 255 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: Trump just won Indiana. Ted Cruz through in the towel. 256 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: It's over. And he didn't quite process that. He's like, yeah, 257 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: well we'll get to the convention and we'll see what I 258 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: I was like, No, no no, I don't think you understand 259 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: it's it's over. It took him. That's that's because that 260 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: call is going to be on repeat, Brendan for many 261 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: Democrats coming up on Tuesday night, what next Wednesday morning, 262 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: the morning after Super Tuesday going But here's the things, like, 263 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily buy the idea that that there are 264 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: a lot of other candidates are trying to spend that 265 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: that Bernie Trump or Bernie Sanders can't win. I think 266 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: he can. He can definitely win. Um. I do think 267 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: there is going to be significant down ballot consequences to 268 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: him being at the top of the ticket. Um, you 269 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: know the places that we got beat in eighteen where 270 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: all of these suburbs, these affluent areas where they may 271 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: not like Donald Trump style politics. He may be too 272 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: much to stomach. But I also don't know that they 273 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: can stomach a socialist. I mean, we're not just throwing 274 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: out names here. He calls himself that, and it's going 275 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: to be very hard for a lot of these moderate 276 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: swing state Democrats to be able to distance themselves from 277 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: someone who is embracing the term socialists. So I do 278 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: think that there will be significant down term or down 279 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: ballot effects to him being in the top. But that's 280 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: not to say that he can't win. And in the 281 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: states that matter that we know we're going to determine 282 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 1: the outcome of the election, we've seen head and headpolling. 283 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: He's actually beating Donald Trump in a lot of these balls. 284 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: So there's a very real chance that Bernie Sanders is 285 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: the next president. Let's take a listen, Anna Edgerton to 286 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: Senator Bernie Sanders talking in Austin, Texas, a state where 287 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: he's pulling neck and neck with Biden in a Super 288 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: Tuesday contest, where he was at a rally over the weekend. 289 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: Here he is together, we are not only gonna win 290 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: here in Texas on Super Tuesday, we're gonna be trum 291 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: in November. I mean, you hear that from Senator Bernie 292 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: Sanders over the weekend. And I just keep going back 293 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: to what Brendan just laid out for us, that call 294 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: that he made to former Speaker Paul Ryan after Wisconsin 295 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 1: in Indiana, and I'm curious if there are communications directors 296 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: right now and Speaker Pelosi's office who are going to 297 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: have to be making that same call that a self 298 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: described democratic socialist is about to become the nominee of 299 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. Well, going back to Brendain's example from 300 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: you know, the Republicans did very well in umteen with 301 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: Trump at the top of the ticket. You know, yeahs 302 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: you know, won the House in the Senate and you 303 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: know had a united government going into Trump's first term. 304 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: Um yeah. Where they where they suffered wasn't in ten 305 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: in the middle of Trump's first term, which you know, 306 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 1: usually incumbent presidents have have a tough mid term election 307 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: their first term. So you know, we'll see if we 308 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: have President Bernie Sanders, how that effect the Canada's running 309 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: with him and then the following mid term when they 310 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: have to come back and ask for re election. Remarkable, remarkable. 311 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: I don't want to count anybody out yet, but what 312 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: a remarkable mood for the Democratic Party. I'm Kevin's really 313 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: much more coming up next year. Listen to Bloomberg. This 314 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: is Bloomberg's sound on with Kevin Shirley on Bloomberg and 315 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 1: one oh five point seven h D two.

Nobody has 319 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: mentioned the impact on the stock marketing, the impact in 320 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: the elections. It just is nowhere. I've been. Um, it's 321 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: had appropriate. This is a public health emergency. It is 322 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: a pandemic.

But uh, we were 331 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: talking earlier about the debate, but I want to pivot 332 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: now and talk about the coronavirus. I'm reading from the 333 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: Bloomberg terminal. US stocks cratered, exacerbating a global sell off 334 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: as authorities confronts him the increasing likelihood of a worldwide 335 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: coronavirus pandemic.

So the markets are the markets have been volatile, 338 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: as we've been talking about on this program for quite 339 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: some time, ever since China's botched handling according to some 340 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 1: experts of the coronavirus. U Brendan Bucks here. He's in Washington, 341 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: d C. Rather, he's the former spokesman and advisor to 342 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: HOWSE speaker Paul Ryan at TEMA Man you and is 343 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: also in Washington, d C. Founder and president of Party 344 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: Politics US and Anna Enterton, Bloomberg Politics editor as well. 345 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: You hear Kelly and Conway as we just did talking 346 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: about how the White House is responding to the coronavirus. 347 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: There was some headlines and reports over the weekend that 348 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: Congress is going to allocate about a billion dollars I 349 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: believe to help with the resources as it relates to 350 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 1: the coronavirus. What are we hearing in terms of the 351 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: relationship with how China is working with not just the 352 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,200 Speaker 1: United States but around the world for their handling of this. Yeah, 353 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 1: I think we will see more travel restrictions and you know, 354 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: supply chain disruptions, so that seems to be what was 355 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 1: behind a lot of the market reaction today. It's gonna 356 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: be a busy week on the Hill coronavirus wise. We're 357 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: going to have um alex Aser, the U Secretary of 358 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: Health and Human Services on the three times, technically to 359 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 1: talk about budget issues, but will certainly get questions about coronavirus. 360 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: And then there are two hearings specifically on the coronavirus, 361 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: so we expect to hear more of administration in the Senate. 362 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry to push them on the spot, but yeah, 363 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: and both Um. I believe it's a Senate subcommittee and 364 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: the House Foreign Affairs Committee for the coronavirus hearing. So 365 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: I find this interesting, Brendan Buck and you know the 366 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 1: committee structure up there better than anyone for the Senate 367 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: Foreign Relations Committee to have a hearing on the coronavirus. 368 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: It insinuates that right now, the parameters of the discussion 369 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: right now is in a sense, skepticism over China's reaction 370 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: and by part is in agreement from the left and 371 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: the right over Shujing Ping's response globally to the coronavirus 372 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: and what the United States can do to get China 373 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: to accept international support as well as international aid. Yeah, 374 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: I mean Congress is typically for as as functional as 375 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 1: it can be, styically typically taking this kind of stuff 376 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: pretty seriously and gotten his act together. In fact, you 377 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: all recall the zeker virus um Zeka was the motivation 378 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: for the single appropriations bill that we were able to call. 379 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: None of us had it. I don't know exactly what 380 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: the span was, but we didn't pass a single appropriations 381 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: bill on time by itself in like six years or something. 382 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: The one that we were able to get done was 383 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: because it had Zeca money on it. Um that that's 384 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: what it motivates people. That gets people um acting together. 385 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: I mean from a political perspective, though, I mean, I 386 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: think the President understands and his team understands they can't 387 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: let hysteria run wild on this, and they need to 388 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: make sure that they're demonstrating that they're on top of this. 389 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,719 Speaker 1: They don't want certainly what happened today and the markets 390 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: is not good for his reelection chances. Um. But you 391 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: know how these things can sort of spread, um, and 392 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: we know how they spread. You look what happened a 393 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: few years back with the Bola Um. It was, in fact, 394 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: it was Donald Trump who was out there cheerleading the 395 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: how how scary this could be on his Twitter back then. 396 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: I actually think the fact that he's president right now 397 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: was one of the reasons why there isn't more hysteria 398 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: about it, because he is incentivized not to have any hysteria. 399 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal headline in the last hour, drug maker 400 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: Moderna delivers first experimental coronavirus vaccine for human testing. Meanwhile, 401 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: the New York Times headline from this afternoon, as fears 402 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: of a pandemic mount, the World Help Organization says the 403 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: world is not ready. I was speaking to a source 404 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: on Wall Street just when this first all developed a 405 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. There was actually the weekend of 406 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: the Alfalfa Club dinner h and this source who works 407 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: that advises the hedge fund company, said, this is such 408 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: a global blind spot for the world, and we're seeing 409 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: a play out in terms of a market reaction for 410 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: there to be a pandemic. And I was struck by 411 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: this when we heard from Kelly an earlier today, because 412 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: on the one hand, she's saying that they're not treating 413 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: it like a market story, and she's not. I mean, 414 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: no one, no one on the left or the right 415 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: would say that they can. But she was by taking 416 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: that tone a TIBA was calming markets because clearly the 417 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: administration recognizes the risk of this poses from a from 418 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: a natural disaster standpoint, but also from an economic standpoint. 419 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: And it it is, it does have the attention of 420 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: the world. But how do you think Democrats in particular 421 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: will characterize this at TIBA for the president? Will they 422 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: go after China or will they go after President Trump? 423 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 1: Or maybe a little bit of both. Personally, I hope 424 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: they don't politicize it because this is this is real. Um. 425 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: Yesterday last night I was flying back from Panama and 426 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: to be in the airport for a couple of hours 427 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: and seeing nurses with you know, full gear on and 428 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: passengers with face masks on or you know Facebook too, 429 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: you know, I guess you know figures out the logarithms 430 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: where you are, etcetera. You know, to uh put things 431 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: in my feet about you know, getting a mask you 432 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 1: know these things are real, and so I think overall 433 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: there's a human aspect to this that we really should 434 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: be looking at and not necessarily looking at how democrats 435 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 1: are going to address this. The thing overall, it's it's 436 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: scary when you look at seventy seven thousand cases in China, 437 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: when you look at people afraid of um Americans who 438 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: have been sequestered on ships being brought back into the country, 439 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: it's it's a very scary thing. I think that the 440 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: administration and Kelly and Conway, in terms of wanting to 441 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 1: calm markets and to keep them a calm tone, are 442 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: good things. But I think that there also is should 443 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: be a sense of urgency in terms of how to 444 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,719 Speaker 1: address this, and China's um unwillingness, I guess from what 445 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: we're being told to accept aid from from other countries 446 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: is a big part of this. But um, you know, 447 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: this is just real. This is very This is a 448 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: this is a human human and it hasn't been declared 449 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: yet as a pandemic the World Health by the World 450 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: Health Organization. The World Health Organization has called the coronavirus 451 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: quote public health emergency of International concern end quote. But 452 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: it I'm actually going to read a comment that the 453 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: World Health Organization Director General tadros At Hannum Gabracis said 454 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: uh ON earlier today, which is quote, our decision about 455 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 1: whether to use the word pandemic to describe an epidemic 456 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: is based on an ongoing assessment of the geographical spread 457 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: of the virus, the severity of the disease it causes, 458 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: and the impact it has on the whole society. For 459 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 1: the moment, we are not witnessing the uncontained global spread 460 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: of this virus, and we are not witnessing large scale 461 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: severe disease or deaths. But does the virus have pandemic potential? Absolutely? 462 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: Are we there yet from our assessment? Not yet. That's 463 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: according to the Director General of the World Health Organization 464 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: uh end up just in the minute that we have left, 465 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 1: I mean in w and what Congress can do we 466 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: heard from Brendon attached additional funds. There's reports of a 467 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: billion dollars. Is there anything else that they can do? Well? 468 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: The President likely have to appoint a czar over this 469 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: or what what are some of the steps Washington could 470 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: take as we priced this out future, as we planned 471 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: this out in the future. Yeah, this is something where 472 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: the Executive branch will probably take the lead. You know, 473 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 1: you have Health and Human Services UM DHS, the Department 474 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security UM and the Executive branch, which will 475 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: UM you know, largely set kind of the policy guidelines 476 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: and the initial response. State Department also getting involved, the CDC, 477 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: the Center for Disease Control UM. Where Congress can get 478 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 1: involved is like you said, appropriating more funds and making 479 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: sure that those agencies have the resources they need to 480 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: execute whatever policies put forward. All right, coming up, Panel stays, 481 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: it's what's on their radar and their quick take.

I 502 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: just bumped into Richard Faller on my way over here 503 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,719 Speaker 1: in downtown Charleston and Democratic strategist, and he was already 504 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: given me the preview he's gonna be on tomorrow's show, 505 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: and they gave me a hush puppy. This. That's what 506 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: they do here in Charleston. They just give you free food. 507 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: I guess because I am walking to find the studio 508 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: and I hate a hushpuppy. I love this place. Uh, 509 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: it's time now for if you give me a hush puppy, 510 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: I'll you know. I'm a happy guy. And and Adgerton, 511 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Politics editor. She's in Washington, d C. Brendan buck 512 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: Are Republican insider. And at TIBA Matt Yune did I 513 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: I hope I got that. I got it right a 514 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: t got it right off. And this is your first 515 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: time on the show, right, how do you like it? 516 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: It's been great, It has been all right good. But 517 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: when you're down there and you know, to be in 518 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: the same room. Wow, Brendon, you see what I put 519 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: up with every single day from the Bloomberg Radio sound 520 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: on panel. They ripped me. They don't even like me, 521 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: thank you. Anna. Yeah, they have really good food down here. 522 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: Um anyway, Pivot, I was back home a Delco speaking 523 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: of good food over the weekend. I had some great 524 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: chicken wings and had some good food this weekend. Pivot again. 525 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: It's time now for my favorite part of the program, 526 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: what's on the panel's radar? Quick take? And Anna, just 527 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: because you were kind of me and Brendan, you were 528 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: not Brendon and putting you on the spot you're going first, 529 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: What is your quick take? What's on your radar for today? Well, 530 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: of course it's the debate. Um. I was blown away 531 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: how at the last debate everybody focused on Michael Bloomberg 532 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: and nobody focused on the person who was running away 533 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: with the race. It was hilarious. Only Mayor Pete seemed 534 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: to be aware that Bernie Sanders was building a lead 535 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: that nobody was gonna be able to stop. So I'm 536 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: wondering a whether I'm expecting, of course, more people will 537 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: be focusing on Sanders this time around. I'm particularly curious 538 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: about Elizabeth Warren, who still seems unwilling to go after 539 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders. And I don't know why. Maybe it's she 540 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: wants to, you know, protect her standing with him. I 541 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 1: don't or her his supporters, um, because we know how 542 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: enthusiastic they can be. But I'm just curious to see 543 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: whether she is also going to turn her fire on 544 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: him or otherwise people are just basically conceding that he 545 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: is going to be the nominee. A table way in 546 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: on that point before I before we move on from that, 547 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: because that's a great point, you know, I think to 548 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: pay it back off with that. The other piece that 549 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: I'm looking at, UM though, is where the candidates who 550 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: have left the race where they're going. Yes, Marian Williamson 551 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: over the weekend came out from Bernie. You've got Marian Williamson, 552 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: has been out there, Julian Coastro, Who's who's been out there? 553 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: And I do think that when you look at what's 554 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: going on, it does seem like these other candidates are 555 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: jockey and for some type of position and not trying 556 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 1: to in terms of UM what Brendan just mentioned with 557 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: Warren Um maybe I guess, to lack a better way 558 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: of saying this, create any more division that's that's already 559 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: then what's to that come to mind? A tebow to 560 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: your point or Booker and Harris, I wonder where they go. 561 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: So I think um Kamala I think that she definitely 562 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: UM is in play to do something UM. I think 563 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: she's got a number of things working for she her 564 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: work on the Senate Um Judiciary Committee, as has Booker. 565 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: But I think she's creates. She has a little bit 566 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: more energy. She's you know, she's young, she's African American, 567 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: and she's a woman. And I think a lot of 568 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: when we see what happened with eighten. I think there's 569 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: a lot of to be said about women in this 570 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: race coming up in Brendan on the issue of Senator 571 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris. The lasting memory that people have of her 572 00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 1: campaign was what she took all Biden in the first 573 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: democrawt presidential debate. So it would I mean, if you're 574 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: put on your political strategist cap for a second, if 575 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: you're Kamala Harris, where can you endorse Joe Biden? Or 576 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: can't you? I certainly wouldn't. Um, I just been given 577 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: the trajectory of the race, unless you have some real 578 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: personal conviction that you think it is so important that 579 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: you throw yourself out there knowing that it's very likely 580 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 1: it's not going to have an impact. UM. You know, 581 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: I mean look back at Carli Furina, you know, pairing 582 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 1: up with Ted Cruis at the end, I mean, what 583 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: did that do for her? Very little? UM. I think 584 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: I still can't believe that happened. I think I think 585 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: most of those people are smart enough to realize that 586 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders is likely going to be the nominee. UM. 587 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: I don't think that they want to be any more divided. Uh, 588 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: they don't want to put themselves in a situation like 589 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: we were four years ago. We were so divided. Um 590 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: and uh yeah, she's she's got the potential to be 591 00:32:55,800 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: potentially a VP pick, certainly cabinet material, and so I 592 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: don't know why she would risk all that by making 593 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: a you know, a hail Mary shot, by endorsing somebody 594 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: who she clearly already had significant trouble with. All Right, 595 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: I like it Brendan and a Tiva giving us what 596 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 1: their quick take is for what's on their radar. You, um, 597 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: two things if I could. First of all, the debate, 598 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: I'm interested in Michael Bloomberg's performance. You know, he definitely 599 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: needs to do better than he did at the last 600 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: debate in Nevada, So, you know, wondering what his debate 601 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: prep looks like today. He not only has to do better, 602 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 1: I have to. I'm sorry, he not only has to 603 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: do better, he has to completely. I mean, he's got 604 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: a win on Super Tuesday. His whole campaign said for 605 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: months that he was gonna have to win on Super Tuesday. 606 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the polls California, Texas, you 607 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: look at any other all of these other poles, and 608 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: these largely. I mean it's I go ahead. Yeah, So, 609 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: you know, a very big night for him. He needs to, 610 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 1: you know, prove that he can do more than just 611 00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: put out political advertisements. Um. And then the other thing 612 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 1: that I'm looking forward to this week is Secretary Pompeo 613 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 1: testifying on the Hill on Friday. You know, there's he's 614 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 1: had kind of contentious relationship with even Republican senators. They 615 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: did not appreciate his the tone that he had in 616 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: briefing about Iran and January. So it'll be really interesting 617 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: to see what kind of reception he gets and what 618 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: kind of message. What's the sub um. We don't know specifically, 619 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: but I'm sure that the ceasefire, nonviolence with the with 620 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: the Taliban will come up, and also probably um, you know, 621 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: positioning of US troops around the world and kind of 622 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: how that fits into the State Department's strategic plan. And 623 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll get a question about coronavirus. Yes, absolutely, 624 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: and that's going to be a really interesting hearing to watch. 625 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,319 Speaker 1: I'll be back and watchington for it. That's gonna be 626 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 1: on Friday. Uh. That was what was all my radar. 627 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: I would like to add one more thing, go ahead. 628 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: I feel like I was piggybacking off of Brandon Night. 629 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 1: Of course I didn't know if you were, and I 630 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: didn't want to put on the spot. I was trying 631 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 1: to be polite. Go ahead, and I apologize. I do 632 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, on my radar is not necessary political, but 633 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: be remiss if I didn't mention that Katherine Johnson, the 634 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: NASA mathematician who passed away at a hundred and one 635 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: years old and personally having an aunt who is a 636 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: hundred years old still has her memory, which is amazing. UM. 637 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: And to think about um, Katherine Johnson in terms of 638 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: the doors that she opened, UM, both as a woman 639 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: and for people of color, I think was huge, particularly 640 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: with NASA and that whole age of exploration. UM. And 641 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: so when it's that that's definitely on my radar, that's 642 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: a that's awesome. Yea, yeah, that was literally, I mean truthfully, 643 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: that was gonna be mine. UM. So that's awesome. And 644 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:38,399 Speaker 1: of course she was an African American mathematician whose calculations 645 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,760 Speaker 1: of the of NASA really was crucial to getting people 646 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: into space. I mean, it's amazing her life story and 647 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: and her contribution not just to American society but also 648 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: to global society and the advancement of science. It's it's incredible. 649 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 1: Um So I'm that's what was what was mine. But 650 00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: I will say Tom Steyer is also going to be 651 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: on the debate UH stage tomorrow night, and that will 652 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: be interesting as well. I would be remiss if I 653 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: didn't do our disclaimer. Michael Bloomberg, who's seeking the Democratic 654 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: presidential nomination, is the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, 655 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: the parent company of Bloomberg Radio.
