27
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: taken steps to further restrict access to sensitive information. It

28
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: will be interesting to gauge international response in the coming days.

29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: In San Francisco, I'm at Baxter, Bloomberg day Break. All right,

Speaker 1: The White House says the President has been briefed on

32
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: it as he stays focused on his Irish heritage. If

00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: if we gave him the poor attempt at Irish tomy

34
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: shaw WAYA, I'm at home. The President addressed the Irish

35
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: Parliament in Dublin yesterday, then took part in a banquet

36
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: dinner with Prime Minister Leo varadker Brian said the US

37
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: will work with Ireland to promote shared values, especially as

38
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: we marked the twenty fifth anniversary the Good Friday Agreements

39
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: this week. Above all, remember the vital and ceaseless work

40
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 1: of strengthening democracy to deliver progress for our people everywhere.

41
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: And on this final day of his visit, President Biden

42

43
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: of brick sold by a distant relative. Let's turn to

44
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: the markets now, Karen. The economy and interest rates have

45
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: been in focus all this week. Today we get our

46
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: first snapshot at bank earning since the recent turmoil. We

47
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: get more from Bloomberg Global Finance correspondent Shinali Bask. There

48
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: are a lot of questions for JP Morgan City Group

49
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: and Wells Fargo for how much they bought an in

50
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: deposit during this big move away from the regional banks

51
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: in the first quarter of this year. PNC is also

52
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: reporting today, so investors will have questions on whether there's

53
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 1: a credit crunch and whether regional banks have the propensity

54
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: to lend to the economy when the economy looks like

55
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: it's getting tough. We'll be watching for provisions for loan

56
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: losses to see if the banks are preparing for tougher

57
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: times ahead, and we'll be watching for their economic commentary

58
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: as well. And Bloomberg Shinali Bassek says look for JP,

59
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: Morgan and Wells Fargo earnings around seven am. Wall Street

60
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: Time Citygroup reports at eight well one of the stocks

61
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: hit hardest during the banking turmoil, Nathan maybe under more

62
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: pressure today. A top investor has exited his entire position

63
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: in Charles Schwab. The Financial Times is reporting Rajeev Jane's

64
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: g a QG partner sold its entire one point four

65
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: billion dollars stake during last month's turmoil, and Schwab's shares

66
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: have lost nearly a third of their value since March.

67
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: Well after a pair of key inflation reports this week, Karen,

68
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: we wrap up the week with the March reading on

69
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: retail sales. Monomists are forecasting a decline of four tenths

70
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: of a percent. We get a preview from Bloomberg's Michael

71
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: McKee March malaise the analysts are calling it and expected

72
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: drop in retail sales last month as consumer sentiment turned

73
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: sour and tax refunds fell twenty five billion dollars in

74
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: March compared with the same month a year ago. Banks

75
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: have reported falling credit card receipts and stores reports slower sales.

76
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: Auto sales also dropped during the month. The Fed end

77
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: Global Wall Street have been anxiously watching consumer spending for science.

78
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: The economy is slowing down. If the sales numbers prove

79
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: that out, then the question flips to how much and

80
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: how fast it's slowing and whether the Fed needs to

81
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: raise interest rates again. Michael McKee Bloomberg Daybreak. All right, Mike, thanks,

82
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: So global stocks are heading for their highest clothes in

83
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: ten weeks ahead of the retail sales report and bank earnings.

84
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: But despite the recent rally, one of Wall Street's biggest

85
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: bears remains bearish in the short term. Mike Wilson and

86
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: Morgan Stanley says, the S and P five hundred is

87
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: heading lower. We put those targets of three thirty three

88
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: hundred for a trough for this cycle in May of

89
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: last year. Okay, so that that has not changed. And

90
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: but you know, calling the price scan the time, I mean,

91
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: it's hard enough to get one right, to get both right.

92
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: I think it is tricky so we've been wrong on

93
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: the timing for sure, but it doesn't change our view

94
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: that that low end of the range, that path two

95
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: thirty nine hundred, we think still goes through kind of

96
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: low three thousands ultimately, and that thirty nine hundred price

97
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: target for Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson is about six percent

98
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: below yesterday's close for the S and P over learning

99
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: more about a meeting in Washington this week here in

100
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: between Fedchair J Powell and People's Bank of China Governor

101
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: Ye Gong. Amy Morris has that from our Bloomberg ninety

102
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: nine one news erm in Washington. They met on Tuesday

103
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: during the World Bank and IMF Spring meetings, and while

104
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: the PBOC did not provide much detail, it did say

105
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: that Ye and Powell discussed the economic and financial situations

106
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: in the world's two largest economies. It was their first

107
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: one on one talk since twenty twenty, when Powell spoke

108
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: with Ye for seventeen minutes by phone. Their last in

109
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: person meeting was in twenty nineteen, on able to meet

110
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: in person since then, in part because China had imposed

111
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: strict border restrictions to contain the spread of COVID in Washington.

112
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: I maymy more as Bloomberg Daybreak, Amy, thank you, and

Speaker 1: shares a bowing down four and a half percent in

114
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: early trading. Let's find out why with Bloomberg, Steve Rappaport,

115
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: Steve Karen Nathan. The aircraft maker says it's pausing deliveries

116
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: of some Max Jets because of a problem involving fittings

117
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: that attached the plane's vertical tale to the rear end

118
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: of the fuselage. The Max Jets were grounded worldwide in

119
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen after a pair of deadly crashes. The company

120
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: this week reported a surgeon quarterly deliveries, outpacing rival Airbus

121
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: for the first time in nearly five years. Live in

122
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: New York, I'm Steve Rappaport, Bloomberg Daybreak. Thanks Steve, This

00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: low eighties today and get down to around sixty tonight.

126
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: Take a look at some of the other stories making

127
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: news in New York and around the world with Bloomberg's

128

Speaker 1: John Tucker. Good morning, John, Yeah, Good morning to Nathan.

129
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: The State University of New York dropping SAT test requirements.

130
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: Let's find out more in this report with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrini.

131
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: John Sunny's board has unanimously voted to do away with

132
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: the admissions requirement for the SAT and the ACT, and

133
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: this goes for its dozens of campuses throughout the state.

134
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: The requirement had already been temporarily suspended during the pandemic,

135
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: and the National Center for Fair and Open Testing says

136
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: about eighty percent of US colleges and universities were already

137
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: test optional for undergrad's last fall. Sunny's enrollment has been

138
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: shrinking and fewer high school students have been taking the

139
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: standardized test, particularly among historically underrepresented students. John Our Bloomberg's

140
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,559
Speaker 1: Deunise Pellegrini. Former President Donald Trump defending his real estate

141
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: business during a seven hour deposition with New York Attorney

142
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: General Letitia James, he defined expectations that he would plead

143
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: his Fifth Amendment right. James sued Trump, three of his kids,

144
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: and his company in September for two hundred and fifty

145
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: million dollars, alleging linked the inflated the value of his

146
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: assets for years. New York's all reduced a budget being

147
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: held up by legislative leaders wrangling with Governor Hokeel over

148
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: her proposal to toughen pre trial detention policies. That story

149
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: in this report from Bloomberg's Charlie Pellet. It is the

150
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: second consecutive year that Hockel has slipped changes to bail

151
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: policies into negotiations with fellow Democrats over the states more

152
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: than two hundred and twenty billion dollar budget. The spending

153
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: plan was due April first, and lawmakers have passed two

154
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: extensions that will keep the government functioning through April seventeenth,

155
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: but it is unclear when a deal might be reached.

156

208

Speaker 1: I'm Nathan Hager, a twenty one year old member of

209

Speaker 1: the Air National Guard, is due to appear in court

210
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: today to answer for one of the biggest leaks of

211
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: US intelligence since Edward Snowden. The arrest of a junior

212
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: level Defense Department employee in the Pentagon League is raising

213
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: serious questions about the security of America's secrets and putting

214
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: the US government in a very awkward position to try

215
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: to answer them. For more, We're joined by Bloomberg News

216
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: Executive editor for International Government, Rosalind mathieson Good morning. First off,

217
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: what more do we know about this suspect Jack Tashira, Well,

218
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: not a lot, as you say. He's a very he's

219
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: a young man and having a fairly junior position, but however,

220
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: he had access to one of the highest classifications that

221
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: involved extensive vetting. He had access to very very top

222
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: level information that he was seemingly sharing with his friends

223
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: to try and get more friends. It doesn't appear that

224
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: he was doing this out of any effort to sort

225
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: of cultivate relationships with other countries or to go against

226
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: the US government. It was simply because he thought it

227
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: would make him look cool with his friends, and so

228
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: he was sharing very very sensitive information with them on

229
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: different platforms, and quite a lot of it. It seems

230
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: that turns out even more of it is still coming

231
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: out now, so we'll know more, of course, as time

232
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: goes on. We've had a very quick arraignment. Obviously he's

233
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: going to appear in court very soon and we'll find

234
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: out more at that point. But it does seem that

235
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: there was no great malign intent here, aside from to simply, oh,

236
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: I've got access to a lot of very very interesting,

237
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: high level I want to tell my friends about it. Well,

238
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: that raises the obvious question of who else could have

239
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: that same kind of access, and who else could have

240
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: an even more malign motivation to put it out there. Well,

241
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: that's right, because what we know is as of October

242
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, about three million people had permission to access

243
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 1: classified documents in the US. Of course, there were real

244
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: efforts after the September eleven attacks to sort of share

245
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: intelligence much more widely classified documents within the US and beyond.

246
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: And again in the run up to the Russia's invasion

247
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: of Ukraine, you saw widespread sharing of intelligence and classified

248
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: information quite publicly to some extent, by the US and

249
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: other Western allies to sort of warn Russia against invading,

250
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: saying we can see what you're doing and we know

251
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: what your intent is. And so it's become in a

252
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: way more normalized to have some of this information floating

253
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: around in the public domain. But the fact that at

254
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: least three million people as of October twenty nineteen, potentially

255
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: much more now since the war has been going on,

256
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: have access to these documents, the question is do any

257
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: of those have different kinds of intentions, perhaps to share

258
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: that information with other countries, with figures and other countries,

259
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: and not just with their friends. Well, even if this

260
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: relative spread of access could be normalized, we have seen

261
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: a pretty fierce reaction already even before the arrest, from

262
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: South Korean opposition leaders as well as Ukraine, saying that

263
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: Russia could be a beneficiary of some of these disclosures.

264
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: What further international fallout could we see now that we

265
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: do have an arrest in this case. Well, it's interesting

266
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: because you do see some public airing of disquiet, but

267
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: it's also a bit muted publicly that I don't really

268
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: want to call out the US too heavily. The reality

269
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: is that pretty much every country spies on every other country,

270
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: and they spy on each other, even if they're allies.

271
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: They just don't want it to become known publicly and

272
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: to this extent, so they're being a little bit quiet

273
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: publicly about it. But behind the scenes, from what we hear,

274
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: there are lots of phone calls going on into Washington saying, hey,

275
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: if we're sharing our intelligence with you bit through the

276
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: Five Eyes Intelligence Network or whatever, we kind of want

277
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: that information to stay safe. And it's clearly concerning that

278
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to be safe if it's shared with

279
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: the US, and that's kind of the concerns that are

280
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: being aired, and they don't want their own dirty linen

281
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: to become public. They don't want the extent of their

282
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: own actions to become public, and certainly they don't want

283
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: anything that might benefit Russia, as you say, and its

284
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: war in Ukraine. So certainly behind the scenes, those conversations

285
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: are going on and possibly sort of forcing yet another

286
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: reassessment in the US of how classified information is handled.

287
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: Are these conversations making for further difficulties for President Biden

288
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: as he's trying to tap into his heritage and have

289
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: sort of a celebratory mood as he continues to make

290
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: his way through Ireland. Well, it's interesting because, of course

291
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: he met with the UK Prime Minister Rishisunak, who know

292
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: the UK is part of that five Eyes intelligence sharing network. Publicly,

293
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: again it was all warmth and smiles and saying they

294
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: didn't really discuss it that much in private either. But

295
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: we do know from our own sources as we reported

296
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: that there have been conversations that have gone on. But

297
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: obviously for the US President, he wants this trip to

298
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: go well. He wants to tout his Irish streets. He also,

299
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: by the way, has some English roots also, but he

300
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: wants to sort of show that kind of stoic, determined

301
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: Irish heritage as he gives up for a re election

302
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: bit expected for next year, and obviously to say that

303
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: he's got the fight of the Irish in him, you know,

304
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: given his age, give given everything else, and his sort

305
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: of like tendency towards gaffs and other things, to show

306
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: that he's really capable and ready to step it up

307
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: for the campaign. This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning
