Speaker 2: favorability rating has risen to forty three percent in the

7
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: latest ABC News IPSIS poll last week, insteaded just thirty

00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: five percent, according to the survey based on a random

9
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: national sample of twelve hundred adults. ABC News says the

00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: results have a margin of error of three percentage points.

11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: The survey found that forty two percent of respondents were

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: unfavorable toward Harris.

Speaker 1: Donald Trump is meeting with donors at a bitcoin conference

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: this weekend, but the crypto world is already heavily invested

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty four campaign. As we hear from

20
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Nathan Hager in Washington.

21
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 3: Crypto investors have poured more money into this year's races

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: than all other election cycles combined. That's according to the

23
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: campaign finance tracker open Secrets, and it doesn't even count

24
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 3: donations from the second quarter. In the twenty twenty two midterms,

25
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: crypto exchange operators and their venture capital backers donated eighty

26
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,920

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,919
Speaker 3: co founder Sam Bankman, freed before his fraud conviction forced

28
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: those donations to be rescinded. In Washington, I'm Nathan Hager

00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: The US has pledged to bring the full force of

31
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: its military to defend allies Japan and South Korea. It

32
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: signed a deal with the two to cement gains on

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: security cooperation before America elects its next president in November.

34
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: It formalized plans for regular military training. The three nations

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: are also looking to enhance senior level security talks and

36
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: to build on a deal to share real time data

37
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: on North Korea missile launches. In the meantime, South Korea

38
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: warned that North Korea might be considering a nuclear test

39
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: near the time the US presidential election is held, and

40
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: that would be to raise its profile. Apple's upcoming AI

41
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: features will be delayed by a month, where told the

42
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: company needs more time to fix bugs. The launch will

43
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: miss the upcoming iPhone and iPads software overhauls. Now the

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: plan is to begin rolling out Apple Intelligence by October.

45
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,800

Speaker 3: Apple is the latest company to agree to the Biden

48
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: Administration's blueprint. It calls on tech firms to test their

49
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 3: AI systems for any biases, security flaws, or national security risks,

50
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 3: and share the results with governments, civil groups, and academia.

51
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: Apple joins Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, and open Ai

52
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 3: in committing to the safeguards. The iPhone maker plans to

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 3: incorporate OpenAI's Chat GPT into its Serie Voice assistant. In Washington,

60
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 5: Our feeling is that while there could be some stumbling,

61
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 5: we are maintaining our overweight recommendation on tech, mainly because

62
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 5: companies will soon be looking at twenty twenty six estimates

63
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 5: and pretty much ignoring what they're hearing right now in

64
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four.

65
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,440

Speaker 1: next year. Canadian women's soccer coach Beverly Priestman has apologized

73
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,320
