00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Business flash. You're listening with Kathleen on Bloomberg Radio.

21
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: President Obama has formally endorsed Hillary Clinton and implored Democrats

22
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: to come together in order to elect her after a

23
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: bruising primary battle. He says that the stakes of the

24
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: election were too high to allow party divisions to stand

25
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: in the way of defeating Donald J. Trump. Here to

26
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: tell us more is Craig Gordon, Managing editor from Bloomberg

27
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: News in Washington, d C. Craig tell us the feeling

28
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: right now in Washington and all of the information you

29
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: have about this endorsement, absolutely, I mean right now, there

30
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: is definitely a sense that the Bernie Sanders campaign is

31
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: seeing its twilight. Um, the President invited Bernie Sanders, or

32
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: had Bernie Sanders over to the White House, where told

33
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders asked for the meeting. It's clear they had

34
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: a respectful discussion. But it also sounds like President Barack

35
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: Obama said to Bernie Sanders, I'm gonnador Hillary Clinton today.

36
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: So like you've had your meeting, You've had now a

37
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: phone call on Sunday, a meeting today. I's trying to

38
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: move forward, and Hillary is about to get my endorsement. Um. So,

39
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders came out and said he'll continue campaigning through

40
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: Tuesday's primary in d C. But it's pretty much over

41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: at this point. Yeah, and probably a foregone conclusion because

42
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: we knew that the President was meeting with Bernie Sanders,

43
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: we know that he had talked to him on the

44
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: phone over the weekend. One thing Hillary Clinton and Bernie

45
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: Sanders have in common to a certain extent, is, uh,

46
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: at least during the campaign months, a crusade against Wall Street.

47
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: Is it significant that one of the first things we

48
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: learn as the President endorses Hillary Clinton now, uh, that

49
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: she's going to consult with Elizabeth Warren on Wall Street.

50
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren who has been very tough on Wall Street

51
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: and would probably like to see even stricter rules applied. Yeah.

52
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: I mean, at one level, that is not a huge surprise. Um.

53
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: Right now, Hillary Clinton's job is but even before she

54
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: has to turn to the task of beating Donald Trump

55
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: in November, she has to get a lot of those

56
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders supporters on board with her. There's still a

57
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: lot of sore feelings, uh, in in the Sanders camp

58
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: and in the Sanders campaign and the Standard supporters toward Hillary.

59
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: It was was actually that's sort of a I would say,

60
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: a bitter fight. Um, Bernie Sanders did not go quietly.

61
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: He decided to stay until the end. He still does

62
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: not think. I think to this day, based on his

63
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 1: comments at the White House at Chilly is fully embracing

64
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: the issues that he's brought to the table, or whether

65
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: it's an income inequality or health care for all college

66
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, paid for by the government, and he is

67
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: trying to keep that voice going. So a lot of

68
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: his people came with him because they did not really

69
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: believe in Hillary clintor want to support Hillary Clinton. So

70
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: first and foremost she has to say to them, Look,

71
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you all, do for you what Bernie

72
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: Sanders would have done. No better way to say that

73
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: than to talk up Elizabeth Warren on a day like today.

74
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: In a lot of ways, a lot of those Bernie

75
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: Sanders voters had hoped Elizabeth Warren, the Senator from Massachusetts,

76
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: would be the one running. She didn't. He did, so

77
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: they had to back Bernie. I'm not I don't mean

78
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,839
Speaker 1: to make light of it. It's very possible that Hilly

79
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: Clinton is going to talk very seriously with Elizabeth Warren,

80
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: possibly even a cabinet post. There's a lot of rumors

81
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: in d C. You know, who knows, maybe a Clinton

82
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: Warren ticket president vice president, not just one woman on

83
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: the ticket historically, but too. I'm not sure we're gonna

84
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: see that go quite that far, but it's a good

85
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: day for really going to be talking about Elizabeth Warren

86
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: as Bernie Sanders supporters are looking for someplace to go

87
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: with their votes. Craig, one thing that is not a

88
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: rumor is that Hillary Clinton, as the standard bearer of

89
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party and endorsed by the president, is the

90
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: first woman to hold that role. Is there a sense

91
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: of the historic quality? I will tell you it's actually funny.

92
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: As reporters who cover this, and we've been covering this

93
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: since all the way back in the first week in

94
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: February in Iowa, it is occasionally easy to forget. You know,

95
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: you're so busy in the in the here and now,

96
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: you're so busy with the who's up, who's down, what's

97
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: happening today, that on Tuesday night we had to have

98
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: a little huddle in our newsroom there in New York,

99
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: a little bit to be like, hey, let's remember this

100
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: is actually kind of a big night. We're actually witnessing

101
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: some history here. I'm not saying we're pro Hily Clinton, right,

102
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: that we're just saying, undisputably, as you said, indisputably, as

103
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: you say, there's there's some history being made here. It's

104
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: easy to sort of forget that. I think Hillary Clinton

105
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: is going to spend a lot of time making sure

106
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: we don't forget that. I was struck by how much

107
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: she talked about the historic milestone she achieved on on

108
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: Tuesday Night, the becoming the first major party nominee who

109
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: was a woman. And I think she's gonna talk about

110
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: that quite a lot. On the trail in two thousand

111
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: and eight, she really almost never talked about it. In

112
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: she's talking about a lot. She needs those women voters

113
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: to come out and support her to be Donald Tromp

114
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: a huge part of her base. She needs to get

115
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: him fired up, and she's trying. And of course, what

116
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: many people pointed out is that, uh, sometimes with women,

117
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: if you if you're gonna find a weak spot. She's

118
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: stronger with older women and maybe not as strong with millennials, right,

119
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: And maybe it's you kind of wonder then, because we

120
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: have Margaret Talive on the show yesterday, your colleague who

121
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: covers the White House for Bloomberg News, and she pointed out,

122
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, but Hillary has been first lady. She's been,

123
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: you know, the the head of the State Department. So

124
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: maybe that's another reason why it doesn't feel quite as like,

125
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: oh wow, there's a woman up there. But I wonder

126
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: if this this issue for younger women is they're kind

127
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: of more used to women being in positions of power.

128
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: I totally agree. Um. I mean, look, you have Janet

129
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: Ellen runs the Federal Reserve, Angelo Mercle runs Germany, Christine

130
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: Legarde runs the I M f uh, you know going,

131
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: and even Margaret Thatcher ran you know, the UK for

132
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: a while. It is it is while it is an

133
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: enormous historical mouth, and inside the United States, around the

134
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 1: rest of the world, they could fairly say, hey, what

135
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: are you folks on waiting for over there? You know,

136
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: come and join the party. So I do you know,

137
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: I've always reluctant to talk, you know, go too far

138
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: down the roads and within the mind of year old women.

139
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: But I could see them saying, you know, yeah, she

140
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: was the first lad then she was the center, then

141
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: she was the Secretary of State. This doesn't seem like

142
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: quite as big a milestone, but I think for a

143
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: certain there's a certain generational split. And some of our

144
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 1: polling it was women under forty were less impressed, women

145
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: over forty were more impressed. There is a historical split there,

146
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: or a generational split there. I think he was gonna

147
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: try to talk to both halfs of that split and

148
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: and try to get him on board with her campaign.

149
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: Quick question, do you really think she'd pick a woman

150
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: woman to be the vice president? I mean, she's a woman.

151
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: Do you need to on the ticket? Off? Do you

152
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: need to I don't know if you need to. Look.

153
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: I'll say about this is that there is a there

154
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: is a little bit of historical president Bill Clinton. I

155
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,440
