1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Why from our nation's came this budget thing is going

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: to do nothing space forts. I still think it's interesting

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: President Trump not playing his cards yet. Headlines Policy and

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: politics colliding Floomberg sound on, the insiders, the influencers, the insides.

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: I would rather see a congressional solution. It's part of

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: my DNA. The Senate map in looks a lot different

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: than it looked in. President Trump was sent here to

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: smash conventional norms in a sense. Bernie Sanders has already

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: w This is Bloomberg Sound on with Kevin Surley on

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: Bloomberg one point seven h D two. No witnesses, but

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: still no end in sight. That's the lead tonight, folks.

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: The Republicans have successfully been able to block the introduction

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: of new evidence and witnesses in the impeachment trial. That said,

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: it's likely going to have this trial not having acquittal

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: vote until next week. I'm gonna give you the latest.

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: I was up on Capitol Hill all day talking to sources.

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what they're saying up there, both sides

18
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: of the aisle and the coronavirus. The U S is

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: now going to quarantine any Americans returning from where the

20
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: area and China where the coronavirus was, so we'll talk

21
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: about that as well. Fresh market reaction off of that

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: coronavirus news. Really that's moving the markets, not impeachment. And

23
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: we've got some awesome journalism colleagues here who were gonna

24
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: walk us through it. Francesca Chambers, my buddy over at

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: McClatchy News. She's the White House correspondent, and Amanda Turkle

26
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: making her Bloomberg Radio sound on debut. She of course

27
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: is the Washington bureau chief for the Huffington's Post, so

28
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: lots to get through with an all star, all star

29
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: group of journalists. Man, this is your Bloomberg Radio sound

30
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: on debut. It is I'm so excited. Well, you know,

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm excited to have you here. And the Francesca Chambers,

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: who literally folks, was in the Bloomberg bureau lobby pounding

33
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: away on her keyboard as she files the story. She's

34
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: the White House correspondent from McClatchy. Francesca, thanks for fitness

35
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: in when it rains it pours. Yeah, I know, tons

36
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: of news alright. I was on Capitol Hill all day

37
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: as we tried to navigate through this. Uh, we've tried

38
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: to navigate through the um situation regarding the impeachment. Francisco,

39
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: do you have everye pulled the microphone in front of

40
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: your face just before we kick things off? And it

41
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: looks like this vote now on the acquittal is going

42
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: to happen mid next week. So we all thought it

43
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: was gonna come early tomorrow morning, but send a Majority

44
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have

45
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: now been working behind the scenes, and now it looks

46
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: like the vote Amanda is going to be next week.

47
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: Is it going to be the day after the Seed

48
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: of the Union on Tuesday? Or is it going to

49
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: be on this State of the Union. Uh, I mean,

50
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: we'll see. I thought I really thought this was all

51
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: going to be over this week. We could all move

52
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: on to focusing on what was going to be happening

53
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: in Iowa. But it looks like, you know, we will

54
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: is going to drag into the next week. You know

55
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: it's going to be looming over State of the Union.

56
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: Either you're going to have it that day, You're going

57
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: to have it the day after. Either way, it provides

58
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: a fascinating backdrop to whatever Trump's going to be saying

59
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: it really isn't. I mean, a White House officials gave

60
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: a call earlier today to preview the President's State of

61
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: the Union address. They say he's going to have an

62
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: optimistic tone. He's gonna talk about healthcare, redraw some of

63
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: the political battle lines heading into an election year. But Francesca,

64
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: I think every source that I talked to it, I'm

65
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: curious if this meshes with your reporting. They wanted this

66
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: acquittal before the State of the Union. No, they certainly

67
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: wanted it before the State of the Union. What I

68
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: heard from my sources at the White House was nobody

69
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: wants to give a State of the Union when they're

70
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: being tried in the Senate. But there was never any

71
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: sort of a plan if they thought that impeachment was

72
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: going to still be happening to ask Nancy Pelosi to

73
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: delay it. In the Speakers Office had said, or Nancy

74
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: Pelosi herself and said rather that unless the White House

75
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: asked her delayed the speech, she wasn't planning to do that.

76
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: So there was never any real chance that this speech

77
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: wasn't going to be taking place next week regardless, I mean,

78
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: just from the optics, you've got this situation now where

79
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: how Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Let's not forget, we'll be seated

80
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: directly behind President Trump during that State of the Union address,

81
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: so we'll get to see how the Democrats are reacting

82
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: in real time during that address. Okay, so that's the

83
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: the White House implications, Amanda, What about the implications for

84
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: this weekend? I guess if they vote in the next

85
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: hour or so uh to to as they're expected to

86
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: on the Senate floor to block witnesses, does that mean

87
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: that the and and and the acquittal vote is Wednesday?

88
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: Does that mean that Bernie and Elizabeth Warren and Amy

89
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: Klobature can go to Iowa tomorrow or do they still

90
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: have to be here? Good question. I mean, I think

91
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: you're going to see them trying to go out to

92
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: Iowa as much as possible. Um. It certainly makes it

93
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: harder for them to plan things out and to play.

94
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: You know, That's why you're seeing over the weekend a

95
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: lot of surrogates heading to Iowa and surrogate events going around.

96
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: But you know, they want to wrap this up as

97
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: quickly as possible. They want to they want to get

98
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: out to Iowa and then obviously get onto New Hampshire

99
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: because that you have that a week later. Francesca, how's

100
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: this going to play off? Oh? Man, don't doubt so. Listen.

101
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: I'm packing tonight so I can go to Iowa tomorrow.

102
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: I'm an optimist. I'm excited. I have good energy. You're

103
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: over here bringing me like down a couple of n

104
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: Come on, Francesca, No, it's just but it's been an

105
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: incredibly long week and for that and for them, and right,

106
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: and you're just as you're noting for yourself. A lot

107
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: of reporters in Washington too. This is this is like

108
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: the never ending week, right, Like everyone's going to head

109
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: to Iowa over the weekend. What weekend? That's not a weekend.

110
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: That's nothing against Iowa. You know, I always say, I

111
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: don't know great this time of year, the people, weather,

112
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: the weather. I mean, I'm excited, you know, get me

113
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: a zombie burger. That was a sigh on the never

114
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: ending week. But yes, love some zombie zombie burger, love

115
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: some rate. Where are you going to Francesca? Oh, I

116
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: don't think I'll be going to Iowa? Unfortunately. Well I

117
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: thought I was struck by this. I was talking with

118
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: my friend and colleague, Jennifer Jacobs about this. Just the

119
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: cloud of folks who are over there from the administration,

120
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, I mean just cabinet level officials, former cabinet

121
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: level officials, top circuits. They're flooding the zone to use

122
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: the football term, Francesca, Are they not? Oh? Absolutely. It's

123
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 1: a very very long list of as you mentioned. But

124
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: it's also people who are close to the administration as

125
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: I would put it. There's some there's some lawmakers to

126
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: that have by the way, they have no tie to Iowa,

127
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: what's whatsoever. They're just supporters of the president. But there

128
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: are also leaders of what I would call conservative organizations

129
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: who will also be in the state for him. Just

130
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: showing a really big uh, showing a really big force.

131
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: So it's funny again for all of us who have

132
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: to stay here because of the State of the Union

133
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: being on Tuesday, apparently everyone I cover will be an Iowa.

134
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: Maybe I should have just went to Iowa, Iowa. My

135
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: bags aren't technically packed. I've got some room. I'll climb

136
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: on it, all right. Cool? And then Amanda, what in

137
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: terms of front though, I mean, the big story we're

138
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: going to cover this coming up as well. But Bernie

139
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: really seems to be rising. Yes, Bernie is doing incredibly

140
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: well in Iowa, and I mean it's really gonna hinge

141
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: on a lot of it's going to hinge on the

142
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: age of the electorate. Uh. You know, Bernie and Biden

143
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: are looking like the two front runners right now. Uh,

144
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: pulls are correct. And you have Bernie who has this

145
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: huge support from younger voters from communities of color, and

146
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: he is banking on a lot of people coming out

147
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: who aren't usually involved in the political process, who maybe

148
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: haven't canvassed before. I was in Iowa about a week

149
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: or two ago, and they had a canvassing a caucus

150
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: training for uh, sort of communities of color that was

151
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: also a soccer tournament, so they were to reach totally

152
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: new people, the Latino community, from the Nepalese community, from

153
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: the Bosnian community. Biden meanwhile, obviously it does a lot well,

154
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: It does a lot better with older voters, and so

155
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: the age of the electorate could really tell us about

156
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: who comes out to caucus and then who ends up winning.

157
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: So smart aman Amanda Circle having to post Washington Bureau

158
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: Chief so so smart. But the soccer tournament, who won

159
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: hard to keep up with it? It was they were

160
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: doing like short games. They were small teams and one

161
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: person one team would get eliminated in another one. I

162
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: could not keep up. I know you could keep up.

163
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: See I am put me in, coach, I'm ready to go.

164
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: And they did smartly. They did the caucus training first,

165
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: then the soccer. All right, yeah in because you know

166
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: you could be some tough los, sore losers, or some

167
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: cocky winners. You know, you never know coming up penal stays.

168
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk coronavirus. The seventh US coronavirus case has

169
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: now been confirmed by the CDC of Kevin Sirelli. You're

170
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:52,920

Speaker 1: f M H D two. Any US citizen turning to

Speaker 1: the previous fourteen days will be subject to up to

175
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: fourteen days of mandatory quarantine to ensure they've they are

176
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: provided proper medical care and health screening. That was Secretary

177
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: alex Asar speaking earlier today about the situation as it

178
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: relates to the quarantine. Virus here, of course, is the

179
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: Secretary of Health and Human Services and now saying that

180
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: you will be quarantined if you have coronavirus. My name

181
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: is Kevin Cerillian, the chief Washington correspondent from Bloomberg Television

182
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: and Bloomberg Radio. Amana Turkle's here Huffington Post Washington Bureau

183
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: chief and Francesca Chambers, White House correspondent for McClatchy News. Amanda,

184
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: I spoke about this briefly when I interviewed earlier this

185
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: week Jared Kushner, and he said that the administration is

186
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: very much carefully watching over this situation. I think that

187
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: when you look at it from a market perspect active, Amanda,

188
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: the markets haven't planked at all on the issue of impeachment,

189
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: but they have been moving off of volatility worldwide based

190
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: upon the coronavirus. Has has the administration, based upon your reporting,

191
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 1: done everything that they can do to ease some of

192
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: the concerns as it relates to the uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus. Well,

193
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, obviously, when you have travel bands

194
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: and it's affecting a country as large as China, I

195
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: think there's going to be concerns. But you know, my

196
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: My bigger concern is actually that there isn't an overreaction,

197
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: and I don't know if I've heard enough from officials

198
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: about this. You know, the CDC estimates that at least

199
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: ten thousand people have died from the seasonal flu this season.

200
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: That you know, that is so much more than the

201
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: coronavirus has so far affected. And obviously, you know, the

202
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: coronavirus needs to be taken seriously, but I think we

203
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 1: need to put it into perspective. I also think that

204
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: we're starting to hear troubling stories from around the country

205
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: and in other countries. I saw a report in Canada

206
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: um sort of racism and xenophobia popping up and people

207
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: over reacting to this. So you know, I think, uh,

208
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, making people aware of this, making sure that uh,

209
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, businesses and markets aren spooked is important. But

210
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: I think the markets are spooked. I mean, but you know,

211
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: and the other way, you know, you don't want an

212
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: overreaction to this that affects people in a way that

213
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: could be potentially racist or xenophobic. Of course not okay,

214
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: So let's let's unpackage this because you've raised so many

215
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: good points, so so many good points. You mentioned the flu,

216
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: the actual flu. There's a headline on the Bloomberg terminal

217
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: written by my colleague Michelle Cortez. There's another virus stalking America.

218
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: It's called the flu. While the world scrambles to contain

219
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: the coronavirus, the US flu season maybe taking a turn

220
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: for the worst. It's already killed ten thousand people. Ten

221
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: thousand people, and that's uh. The Center for Disease Control

222
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: and Prevention estimates that more than nineteen million Americans have

223
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: fallen ill with the flu so far this season, including

224
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 1: a hundred and eighty thousand people who have ended up

225
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: in the hospital. Wow. Wow, sixty children of the ten

226
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: thousand Americans who have died. That's scary numbers. Scary, scary numbers.

227
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: But then we talked about the markets. Francesca. The SMPI

228
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: index erased its game and the down Jones Industrial average

229
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: drop more than six hundred points as traders remained on

230
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: edge over the impact of the disease that's now infected

231
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: ten thousand people. Now we're talking about the coronavirus. You

232
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: look at where the volatility is really spiking. It's caterpillar

233
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: plunging as the outlook trailed estimates and Amazon soared after

234
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: a blowout quarters, so we got some quarterly earnings reports.

235
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: But again, this really shows and I think to Amanda's point,

236
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: it's it's important not to overreact. I hear you on that,

237
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: but it's also important to note just the glaring volatility

238
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: that this shows and the concern from businesses worldwide that's

239
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: something like this that is so uncontra rollable from popping

240
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: up really could inject volatility into global commerce. But it's

241
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: also understandable from the standpoint that earlier this week we

242
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: heard the White House saying that there were only three

243
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: thousand people who had been affected, and that there were

244
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: five people in the United States um that they had

245
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: known who had this virus. And just from those numbers

246
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: that you just outlined there, it just shows how quickly

247
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: that it's spread within the United States. And you referred

248
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: to what the steps that the administration is taking to

249
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: try and contain it. That shows that they're taking it

250
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: really quite seriously, as they need to be in order

251
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: to to stop that. So I think it will also

252
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: depend on several other factors. The markets on Monday as

253
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: they reopened, but certainly that will be one of the

254
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: main factors. So you also have, Amanda, in terms of

255
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: China markets, investors in China are going to get their

256
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: first chance to trade since January when the financial markets

257
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: reopened in China on Monday, so that could have some

258
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: new economic data. But from a political response, Amanda, what

259
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: are you hearing from Capitol Hill in lawment from lawmakers

260
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: in both parties as well as from the White House

261
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: um on Capitol Hill. I'm if I'm being honest, I'm not.

262
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm not hearing much, which we laugh about, but you know,

263
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: and other should there. If there wasn't an impeachment trial,

264
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: we would all be talking about this, But go right right.

265
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: I think if there weren't the impeachment trial, there would

266
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: be hearings. We would be hearing a lot more. Obviously,

267
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: some lawmakers have put out statements, but you know, there

268
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: is concern about this, and there is concern about it spread.

269
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: But I do think that more than I have in

270
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: other epidemics or potential epidemics, you know that people are

271
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: urging caution and not overreacting. Yeah, but in terms of

272
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm struck by this, Francesco that I actually think the

273
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: President is going to have to make note of this.

274
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: In the State of the Union address, and he hasn't

275
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: named his AR yet, which Obama did for the during

276
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: his term. But we haven't seen his AR named. Maybe

277
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: we should have. The flues are now that I'm still

278
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: back on the flu. That's that's when I heard that number.

279
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it was so many either, cannot I mean,

280
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: I you know, you hear these stories, you read about

281
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: them in the local papers about but anyway, I'm surprised

282
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: that there is a are. I'm surprised that the flu

283
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: isn't more the Linlight franchise. They didn't really get a

284
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: lot of clarity today on whether the President would mention

285
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: that stay of the Union. Frankly, we didn't get a

286
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: lot of clarity on other anything the President would talk

287
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: about in this State of the Union. They hold that

288
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: pretty close to the chest, and they're doing so today.

289
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: A senior administration official only telling us that the President

290
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: will give an optimistic message that will compare to the

291
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: pessimism that the administration says that they have seen on

292
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. And there are some other issues he plans

293
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: to bring up as well. I wrote today about paid

294
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: family leave and how he plans to bring that it

295
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: is something that they can she considers a big one

296
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: in the White House considers a big when the defense

297
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: spending legislation that passed in December that now provides twelve

298
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: weeks of paid leave to all federal workers, and that's

299
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: something that the administration will like to see apply to

300
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: the private sector. Just quickly, to wrap this up, I'm

301
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: gonna put this question to both of you. We're gonna

302
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: get a czar or no. Silence is defining. You're asking

303
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: me to predict with president terms, what do you think, Amanda,

304
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'll go with no. I'm gonna go with yes.

305
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: I think then and I think it might actually be

306
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: a flues and I if there is something, if if

307
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: the coronavirus becomes a bigger thing. Yes, because there's so

308
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: much attention. Clearly the administration is taking it seriously, and

309

Speaker 1: that we had an on camera briefing at the White

Speaker 1: to the stock market, and I'm telling you the volatility

312
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: in the markets over this is truthfully, truthfully significant. Coming

Speaker 1: the White House correspondent for McClatchy. Do you think he's

321
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: the most underrated musical artist of the millennium? No comment.

322
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,280

323
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: no one knows who he is. It's hercle Huffington Post

324
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: Washington Bureau chief. I gotta say that. I always check

325
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: Huffpoe and Drudge Report, but like throughout the day to

326
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 1: see what I'm like. What are they leading with? I

327
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: love that banner? So what's the HuffPo banner right now, Amanda?

328
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess it's impeachment, all right. I

329
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: appreciate I appreciate the honesty. Lets it is about John Bolton.

330
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: I love the splash. It's so great. What does it says?

331
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: New Bolton bomb dropped as GOP boxes him out. What's

332
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: the bomb? It's the it's the new book revelation that

333
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 1: uh Donald Trump was trying to get John Bolton to

334
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: join his campaign against Ukraine earlier than everyone thought, revelations

335
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: from Bolden's book. But he will not be going before

336
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: the senter. No, he's not going to be testifying. He's

337
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: not going to be testifying. But we still don't know

338
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: in that trial is going to happen. Super Bowl plans, ladies,

339
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: where are you watching it? I'll be watching it from home,

340
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: but I will definitely be watching this year because the

341
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs are playing. I don't want any read

342
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: to win. It's my hometown team, so just sorry. So

343
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 1: I've got a room for the chief I also have

344
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: a big going on this game. I don't know if

345
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: you want to say this on air, I do because

346
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: you have to understand some McClatchy. Where I work. We

347
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: we own the Sacramento Beam, we own the Kansas City Star,

348
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: and we also own the Miami Herald, so we have

349
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: the trifecta of the Super Bowl. So we have a

350
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: number of bets going in the office, and I have

351
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: a lot writing on the Chiefs win. Right now, where

352
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: do you have rid Boulevard beer? It's Boulevard is based

353
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, So that's what all. Oh, if I lose,

354
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: but I just don't like California wine. If I win,

355
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: I just don't like. I just don't like any read

356
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: because he couldn't win a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles.

357
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: So I'm reading for the Niners. And now headline crossing

358
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: the Bloomberg terminal as we speak, Senate Majority Leader Mitch

359
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: McConnell says the Senate will now vote on a motion

360
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: for witnesses. We're gonna track that, but obviously we also

361
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: are getting another headline, uh the Ukraine Ambassador for the

362
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: United States, Maria Vonovitch, she plans to retire from the

363
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: State Department effective today. Wow. Okay, so some developments that

364
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: we're gonna be tracking. Once we get the vote tally

365
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: from the Senate for I'm gonna bring that to you

366
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: in real time. But again we're anticipating that there will

367
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: not be enough boats. Four witnesses. Let's talk. Let's just

368
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: stay with this, Amanda and dive into the who needs

369
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: to perform? Well, forget about Bernie and Biden for a second,

370
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: But who are the lower tier candidates, the Buddha g Edge,

371
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: Amy Klobuchar, those folks, what did they have to do

372
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: in Iowa on Monday in order to kind of make

373
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: the case that they should still be in the race.

374
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 1: I think Iowa is do or die for Amy Kloba Shark.

375
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: If she can't win Iowa, like, why is she in

376
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: the race? You know, her whole pitch is that she

377
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: can reach some of those heartland voters, maybe folks who

378
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: like Donald Trump more. But if she can't even win

379
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: in Iowa, which is a state that's you know, right

380
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: in her backyard, I think it's very, very hard for

381
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: her to make a case to stay in Francesca. Do

382
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: you agree with that? Oh? Yeah, I think that that's

383
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: a very tough Here's the other thing too, depending on

384
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: who wins in Iowa. Like Pete Buddha Judge, I think

385
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: it's also maybe a little do or die for him

386
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: if he doesn't place honestly in the top two, if

387
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: he's in even three or four, that makes it really

388
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: hard for him going in New Hampshire where Bernie Sanders

389
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: is the favorite, and we already know that South Carolina,

390
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: he's had some struggles there, Pete Boudah Judge has and

391
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: so right, and if you don't, you know, you're not

392
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: first or second or even third in the first three states.

393
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: Where do you go from there? If you're relying on

394
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: Super Tuesday, then um, you know there's some other folks

395
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: who could who could come into the race, who could

396
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: shake it up as well. So yeah, I mean I

397
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: was Buddha Judge's best chance. And if, like you said,

398
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: if he can't do it there, you know, Warren obviously

399
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: is banking a lot on New Hampshire because that's in

400
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: her backyard, so uh, you know, she should probably perform there.

401
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: She's already looking back past these early states, so she's

402
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: going to stay and she has the money. Um, And

403
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: like you said, I mean Buddha Judge, he's doing so

404
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: poorly with black voters, so you know, I didn't exactly

405
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: say that he's been having struggles maybe South Carolina, but

406
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: he is doing poorly. Uh, And you know I was

407
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: his best chance. And then you know he is pulling

408
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: so far below where he's pulling pulling nationally with black voters.

409
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: He's at one percent or less basically, and so he

410
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: needs to really change it. If he wants to stay

411
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: in for South Carolina. I'm struck by Senator Elizabeth Warren.

412
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: She debuted a host of new ads to Day Francesca Calling,

413
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: describing herself as a unity candidate. I'm really struck that

414
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: Bernie was able to eclipse her. Now well, Bernie Sanders, though,

415
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: has positioned himself as the person best able to beat

416
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: drump And there are a number of Democrats who say

417
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: that that was with that is the first thing that

418
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: they're looking for this cycle. Certainly they're they're looking for

419
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: a lot of other things, but the ability to beat

420
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is very important too many Democrats heading into

421
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: the caucuses in the primaries, and so Bernie Sanders, as

422
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: he pushes that message, has started to pick up some

423
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: some steam and some support. But but again, even for

424
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders, he's very organized in Iowa, He's very organized

425
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: in New Hampshire. He almost wanted Iowa before he wanted

426
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: New hamp supporters feel that they did, and I go ahead,

427
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 1: but but but I'm what I'm saying is if he

428
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: can't again speaking of cracking the top two, arguably, if

429
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders finishes third or fourth and in either of

430
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: those dates, certainly he'll stay in. I mean, he has

431
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: the resources of the money to stand as long as

432
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: he wants. But that would be you know what else

433
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: he has? He has something else, Amanda, I'm interested in

434
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: your take on this. He has something else. He has

435
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: the infrastructure and the experience of having navigated through a

436
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: Democratic primary before, right. I mean, he's leading a movement.

437
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: He's really the only candidate in the race right now

438
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: you know on the Democratic side who can say that

439
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 1: and that that matters, like he has die hard supporters

440
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: and can we can we on package that. Let me

441
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: let me just leading a movement. It's one thing to

442
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: say it, it's another thing to actually have the infrastructure

443
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: to do it. Warren's campaign would would say that she's

444
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: doing the same thing. Biden's campaign would say that they're

445
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: doing the same thing. But what you just said, why

446
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: is Bernie Sanders different at least at this particular juncture

447
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: in the race, Amanda. I think what you would have

448
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: Bernie people say is that he's bringing people into the

449
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: process who would not be there except for Bernie Sanders

450
00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: party B. So if Bernie has not the nominee, many

451
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: of those people they might not vote for the eventual

452
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 1: Democratic nominee, they might not vote in the general election

453
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 1: um and I think that worries a lot of Democrats too.

454
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,239
Speaker 1: If Bernie doesn't get it, what is he going to

455
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: do to make sure all his supporters support whoever it is,

456
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: if it's van to your point and perhaps making it

457
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 1: in artfully before he does have the infrastructure and the resources.

458
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: So what I was saying is that if he doesn't

459
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: finish in the top two in iron world in Iowa

460
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: or New Hampshire, that that's a really, really bad look

461
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: for him. It's the very high expectation. It's the excuse

462
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: let me ask you about this. Francesca Chambers white House

463
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: corresponded fromcclatchy News. It's the weight of expectations and how

464
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: does he now that Now that the expectations are that

465
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: he has such a strong showing, how does he navigate

466
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: through that? And one source who works for a different

467
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: campaign that's not Bernie Sanders, has said that he had

468
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 1: four years right between the last time when he kN

469
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 1: he was going to run for president again to build

470
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: his operation up even better than he did last time

471
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: when he performed so well unexpectedly. So if he doesn't

472
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: do was well this time, Kevin, It's going to be

473
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: a tough haul for him after those those first few states.

474
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: And I mean, what's remarkable about Bernie two is no

475
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: one ever talks The heart attack issue is basically gone.

476
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: You don't hear anyone talking about that anymore. He seems

477
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: to have overcome it because after the heart attack he

478
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: got this surge of momentum from high profile endorsements aoc

479
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: Il han Omar, the Sunrise Movement, Artie B, Cardi B

480
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: I think was with him before. Maybe I'm always gonna

481
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: Cardi B. I mean, anytime you could talk about cart

482
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: go ahead. Also, he has a lot of musicians actually

483
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: behind him, but does he does. He's having a concert

484
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: with the Strokes I think in New Hampshire. Taylor Swift,

485
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 1: by the way, has that continuing feud, not with Kanye,

486
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: but with Marshall Blackburn. Go ahead, that's right, and her

487
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: documentary is coming out. Uh but anyway, Bernie, oh, anyway,

488
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: he has really sort of call that got in the movement,

489
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: the progressive movement to coalesce around him. All right, breaking

490
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: news redheadline crossing the Bloomberg terminal. The Senate Republicans have

491
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: blocked calling new witnesses in the Trump trial. Again, the

492
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 1: Republicans in the Senate now have enough votes to block

493
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: calling witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial. That would set

494
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: up an acquittal vote sometime over the next four to

495
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,480

522
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 1: quick take today? Okay it's not a policy thing, good,

523
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: but my quick take is this presidential race is going

524
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: to the dogs. I've been waiting all the way to

525
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: use that on this show. By the way, um, everyone

526
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: is talking about their dogs now. One candidate has an

527
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: ad out with a dog. One candidate is campaigning with

528
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: their dog like it's my dogs first time in Iowa,

529
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: and people are eating it up and they're loving it.

530
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: It reminds me of new Gingrich when he ran Okay,

531
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: Well had pets with newt he loved, he loved zoos.

532
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: So what do you I know what you're talking about,

533
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: but I need you to explain for our loyal listeners

534
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: what exactly you're talking about. I'm serious, like actual dogs,

535
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: who has the dogs? Who has the dogs? Dogs out?

536
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: Who let the dogs out? Elizabeth Warren is campaigning with

537
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: her dog Bailey on the campaign trail Pete Buddha. Judge

538
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: has a whole pets thing going on with dogs as well,

539
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: maybe some cats. I'm a little confused. Um. And then

540
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: there's another candidate who's running an AD as I noted

541
00:28:54,120 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: about pets right now, Michael Bloomberg Bloomberg Onto the can

542
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: say say it. Michael Bloomberger is running an AD he

543
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: like grabbed onto a dog's mouth one time parents, And

544
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: I guess as a disclaimer, I should say, I don't.

545
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: This is my disclaimer. My parents didn't let me have

546
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: a dog. I'm kidding. Michael Bloomberg the founder and majority

547
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: owner of Bloomberg News parent come. Michael Bloomberg, the founder

548
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: and majority owner of Bloomberg News parent company, Bloomberg Lp.

549
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: As I'm reading the wrong disclaimer. He is the founder

550
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News,

551
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: and he's running for president. Okay, that said, my parents

552
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: didn't let me have a job, Amanda Turcle and a dog,

553
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: and so do let me have a job. And Christine

554
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: Murat is laughing in our group chat that said, I

555
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: is it weird to grab a snout of a dog? Yes,

556
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: it is. It's really weird. You're supposed to pet a dog. Uh,

557
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just it's I don't know if

558
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: it's as weird as how Trump always talks about dogs.

559
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 1: He always says everything is like a dog, Johnathan, and

560
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: have a dog? Does he? No, he doesn't like animals

561
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: at all. Uh, he does not. There is no presidential

562
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: pet um and you know is bunny aside. But but

563
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, like now Bloomberg has like this video out

564
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: about like how dogs love Mike. But I think there

565
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: was like an old New York Time story about how

566
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't even really like dogs. I don't think like

567
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: dogs very much. All right, So that's what's on your

568
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: radar dogs. Happy Friday, folks. Okay, amana, what's on your

569
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: radar quickly, so much more serious. So in the prett

570
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: that's okay, that's okay, we can have a good mix.

571
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: In the past week, the governor of Tennessee signed a

572
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: law allowing state adoption age sorry adoption agencies in the

573
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: state to deny adoptions to same sex couples if it

574
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: violates their religious beliefs. They won't lose their license, they

575
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: won't lose access to funding. Um. And you know, obviously

576
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: there are a lot of folks in the state, LGBT activists,

577
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: a lot of companies who were opposed to this. So

578
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: what does it mean for a couple who is trying

579
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: to adopt and Tennessee, they would have to go somewhere else? Um.

580
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: And you know that sounds easy. It's not always easy.

581
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:09,479
Speaker 1: That's not like they're familion adoption agencies out there. Um.

582
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: You know, you could go through a process and it's

583
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, I am speaking this as someone who was

584
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 1: adopted when I was very young, and so you know,

585
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: kids need homes. The process for parents is very tough

586
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: to find a child who's right for them and a

587
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: child that's available. Um. And so you know, this comes

588
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: after the Trump administration also proposed a rule in the

589
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: fall that would allow these faith based adoption agencies to

590
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: deny same sex couples and not lose federal funding. So

591
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: Republican Governor Bill Lee has signed this law into effect.

592
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: I would imagine that this will end up in the courts. Yeah,

593
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: I would. I would think so. Um. And you know, obviously, um,

594
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: you know LGBT groups have pushed for more protections for

595
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: same sex couples for quite some time that you know,

596
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: a lot of that movement I think has stalled significantly

597
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: during the Trump administration. All right, So what's all my radar, bregsit,

598
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,719
Speaker 1: Let's go across the pond, as they say, reading from

599
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: the Bloomberg Terminal by Ian Wishard. When the sun goes

600
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: down on Friday night, British government buildings around Europe will

601
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: lower the blue and yellow starred flag of the European

602
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: Union for the final time. A few hours later, on

603
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: the stroke of midnight in Paris, Berlin and Brussels, the

604
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: UK will leave the block after forty seven years. Wow.

605
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: So I mean, what are you hearing from the White House,

606
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: Francesca in terms of how they've been communicating with with

607
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: Bojo Well, the President Johnson, the President of the United

608
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: States has been communicating with him by phone frequently. I

609
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: mean they're always sending out statements about how the two

610
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: are talking on the phone, much more frequently than I

611
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: would say, pretty much any other world leader. There. They're

612
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: they're they're contacting each other a lot on the phone,

613
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: and they aren't really telling us all the time what

614
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: they're talking about. It's it's not just bregsit These are

615
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,239
Speaker 1: pretty vague statements Huawei. I mean, for one, I mean

616
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: you've got the situation now or earlier this week. You've

617
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: got the saying that they're going to do the deal

618
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: with Huawei as it relates to China. They didn't like.

619
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: The White House didn't like that very much, Francesca. But

620
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: generally speaking, the White House statements about what happened on

621
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: these phone calls are pretty vague, and they don't say

622
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: how long the phone call lasted. We just really don't

623
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: have any idea, okay, Amanda. I mean I will Advan.

624
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: I am not following breaksfit as much as everyone else

625
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: because it's not happening in Iowa, New Hampshire. But I

626
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: was struck by the European leaders holding hands and singing

627
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: an all Lang sign that was so strange. Why I

628
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: missed this. I didn't know they were singing. I was

629
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: why did they do that to say goodbye? Okay, what

630
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: a weird Okay, let's just now, we got a couple

631
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: of minutes left and let's just catch everybody up to speed.

632
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: The Mitch McConnell says that the Senate trial is going

633
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: to be ending in the coming days. This is just

634
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: within the last fifteen minutes. The Senate now has voted

635
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: some lock witnesses along a largely party line vote, that

636
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: they will block witnesses from being able to testify in

637
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: the Senate impeachment trial. This puts the acquittal process happening

638
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 1: sometime with between now and Wednesday. I mean, any parting

639
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: thoughts as it relates to the acquittal vote. I've just

640
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: been struck by how many g OP senators have said, like, look, yeah,

641
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: sure looks like Trump did all this, but it's not

642
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: impeachable and we shouldn't get rid of him. They're admitting

643
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: that it's bad what he did, but they're still saying,

644
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 1: you know, we don't think he should be thrown out

645
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: of office. And I've just found those statements pretty But

646
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: see when I talked to Republicans and again, and I

647
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: say this, I'm not trying to debate you. I mean,

648
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: but when I talked to Republicans, I mean, they have

649
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: been incredibly frustrated at how Democrats conducted themselves. They've been

650
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: incredibly frustrated Francesca Chambers with Adam Schiff in particular. And

651
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: so it just seems that even from the get go,

652
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: this was such an incredibly polarized, polarized uh A situation

653
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: for lack of a better word. Yeah, And and and people

654
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: who are on the president's impeachment team, i e. Those

655
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives who weren't arguing

656
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: on the floor but we're on Twitter, their primary roles

657
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: seemed to be going on television and sharing with the

658
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: American public like, for lack of a better term, like

659
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: being the president's spirit animals, so to speak. They're they're

660
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: just like very frustrated and sharing what they called was

661
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: an unfair process and why they believe that. And none

662
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 1: of that really came down right specifically to the argument

663
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: that we're happing on. All right, I want to thank
