After two deadly shootings of 216 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 2: US citizens in less than a month, President Donald Trump 217 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: is looking to a leadership shuffle to turn around a 218 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 2: volatile immigration enforcement surge in Minneapolis. 219 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 4: We have Tom Holman there now, we put him in there. 220 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 4: He's great, and they met with the governor of the 221 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 4: mayor everybody else, and well, we're going to de escalate 222 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 4: a little bit. 223 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 2: I was President Trump speaking to Fox News in Iowa, 224 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 2: head of a rally on the economy joining US now 225 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 2: as Bloomberg News national security reporter Nick Watdams. So, Nickot's 226 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 2: early days now with Tom Homan in Minneapolis. But are 227 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 2: we seeing signs the tensions are cooling now? 228 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 7: Good morning morning. 229 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 10: Yeah. 230 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 13: I think what you're seeing right now is President Trump 231 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 13: essentially saying he wants to climb down a little bit 232 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 13: after the two shootings. I mean, this issue has proven 233 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 13: to be so divisive and and you have seen some conservative, 234 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 13: some members of Congress, even some members of the MAGA base, 235 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 13: particularly on the issue of gun rights, because the second 236 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 13: American who was killed, Alex Pretty, was carrying a gun 237 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 13: that he was permitted for. So it's a very complicated 238 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 13: issue for the president that sort of you see the 239 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 13: clash of two of his priorities. Obviously, Republicans have tended 240 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 13: to support this very strong immigration crackdown, but there is 241 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 13: a sense right now that when you see the federal 242 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 13: agents who killed Pretty, and the video evidence suggests that 243 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 13: he had already been disarmed by the time he was shot, 244 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 13: the president, I mean, it's an extraordinary situation to hear 245 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 13: President Donald Trump say he wants to de escalate a 246 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 13: little bit in that quote you just played so very 247 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 13: much a reflection of where his mind is right now. 248 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: They have to wonder whether things are de escalating when 249 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 2: even with this leadership shuffle, the president is at least 250 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 2: for now saying he's standing by his Homeland Security Secretary, 251 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 2: Christi Gnolm, who's come under fire for her initial comments 252 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 2: about the shooting, and now on Capitol Hill we're hearing 253 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 2: even more calls for her to resign. 254 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 8: Yeah. 255 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 13: I mean again, two very competing interests from the president. 256 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 13: One is you may see a certain amount of displeasure 257 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 13: from him against Christy Noam, But at the same time 258 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 13: it has been very much a policy of his in 259 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 13: the second term where he does not want to fire 260 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 13: his cabinet secretaries and his top leadership. So in the 261 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 13: first term it was basically a carousel of officials. He 262 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 13: had several defense secretaries, chiefs of the chief of staff 263 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 13: was a rotating job, national security advisor. There was so 264 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 13: much turnover, and he got a lot of criticism from that. 265 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 13: This time around, he has really almost to a person 266 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 13: not fired or replaced anyone in his group because he 267 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 13: wants to project an era, an aura of stability. So 268 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 13: what you're sort of seeing more is that officials will 269 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 13: stay in their posts, but they might get sidelined. We're 270 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 13: still waiting to see some evidence of that with Christy Noam, 271 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 13: but for the at least, really a determination not to 272 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 13: have as high turnover as he had in the first term. 273 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 2: And how high can we say tensions are now when 274 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 2: we saw these videos just last night of Democratic Congresswoman 275 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: ilhan Olmar apparently getting attacked at a town hall. 276 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 13: Right, so, I mean the immediate tension and anxiety around that, 277 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 13: stepped up enforcement action seems to have eased somewhat. You're 278 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 13: not seeing the open clashes between protesters and federal agents. 279 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 13: They have pulled back a little bit, and you're seeing 280 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 13: a lot of conversations between state leaders who were Democrats 281 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 13: and the Trump administration. But when you see that ilhan 282 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 13: Omar attack, what that really reflects is the much deeper 283 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 13: and broader tension and anxiety around her, in particular given 284 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 13: the degree to which the administration has vilified her. And 285 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 13: I should say, we don't really know much about the 286 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 13: person who sprayed that liquid and was involved in that incident, 287 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 13: and he ilhan Omar has really been a long time 288 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 13: target of the presidents but that also reflects this much 289 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 13: broader issue where Congress people have been going out and 290 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 13: some are even reluctant to do town halls because the 291 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 13: atmosphere is so charged and there is so much tension 292 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 13: and anxiety between the right and left in the United States. 293 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 3: Right now, this is Bloomberg Day Break, your morning podcast 294 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 3: on the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington 295 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 3: and beyond. 296 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 297 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 2: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 298 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 3: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 299 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 3: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 300 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 3: in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 301 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 3: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 302 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 3: XM Channel one twenty one. 303 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 2: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 304 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 2: now with Apple CarPlay and Android Atto interfaces. 305 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 3: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
