1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News.

2
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager and.

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today.

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 2: Karen, we begin with a presidential race reshaped after the

5
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 2: assassination attempt on Donald Trump. The former president was shot

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, days before

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: he accepts the nomination at the Republican National Convention this

8
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: week in Milwaukee, and now President Biden has used a

9
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: rare Oval office address to say this kind of violence

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: cannot be normalized.

11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: A former president was shot, an American citizen killed while

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: simply exercising his freedom to support the candidate of his tuosing,

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 3: we cannot, we must not go down this road in America.

14
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 3: We've traveled before throughout our history. Violence has never been

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 3: the answer.

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: President Biden says Americans must resolve their differences at the

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 2: ballot box, not with bullets, and he says he'll continue

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: to draw a contrast between his vision for the country

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: and former President Trump's. The Biden campaign has paused TV

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: ads and canceled some events planned for today, but the

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: president still plans to sit for an interview with NBC's

22
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: Lester Holt tonight, and he'll also address black and Latino

23
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: groups in Las Vegas tomorrow.

24
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 4: Well.

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: Nathan Donald Trump says he has rewritten his Republican National

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: Convention speech to call for unity instead of focusing on

27
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: President Biden after he survived an assassination attempt. In an

28
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: interview with the conservative publication The Washington Examiner, Trump said, quote,

29
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: it is a chance to bring the country together. I

30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: was given that chance.

31
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 5: Mean Karen.

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: Bloomberg News has also learned Trump called Nicki Haley his

33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: one time rival in the twenty twenty four race, and

34
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: asked her to attend the convention Milwaukee. We get more

35
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: from Bloomberg Senior writer Stephanie Baker.

36
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 4: Does the convention and in some ways become more about

37
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 4: policy rather than attacking the Democrats. You know, I think

38
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: that remains to be seen. How you know what the

39
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 4: tone of that is. Already they've invited Nikki Haley, she

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 4: was not invited before the assassination attempt, and she is

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 4: expected to double down on this message of unity. So

42
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 4: I think already it's changed the tone of what looks

43
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 4: like a very important Republican National Convention.

44
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: Bloomberg Senior writer Stephanie Baker says Haley is slated to

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: speak tomorrow well Nathan.

46
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,559
Speaker 1: The shooting is placed the Secret Service under harsh scrutiny.

47
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: Trump allies have blasted the agency over its protection of

48
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: the former president. The FBI is leading her probe into

49
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: the events, which Director Christopher Ray says will be thorough.

50
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 6: We have committed the full force of the FBI to

51
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 6: this investigation. An attempt to assassinate a presidential candidate can

52
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 6: only be described as absolutely despicable and will not be

53
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 6: tolerated in this country.

54
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: FBI Director Christopher Ray. Now the Secret Service will turn

55
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: its attention to the Republican National Convention. The agency in

56
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: cisro Bus. Security plans are in place in coordination with local, state,

57
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: and federal law enforcement ahead of the arrival of over

58
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: fifty thousand expected attendees in Milwaukee.

59
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, back in Pennsylvania, Karen investigators are hunting for any

60
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 2: clues into what may have driven the suspect to try

61
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: to assassinate Donald Trump. The shooter, who was taken out

62
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: by Secret Service at the scene, has been identified as

63
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 2: twenty year old Thomas Matthew Crooks. Kevin Rojack is the

64
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 2: FBI special Agent in charge of the Pittsburgh Bureau.

65
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 7: At this time, the information that we have indicates that

66
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 7: the shooter acted alone. At present, we have not identified

67
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 7: an ideology associated with the subject.

68
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: Special Agent in charge Kevin Rojack says technical specialists are

69
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: coming through all digital evidence, including Crooks's social media accounts.

70
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: The FBI says he had bomb making materials in the

71
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: car he brought to the rally, but his political leanings

72
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: are not immediately clear. Records show Crooks was registered as

73
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: a Republican voter in Pennsylvania.

74
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: Well, Nathan, we are seeing a market reaction to the

75
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: assassination attempt. The dollar now little change, treasuries falling as

76
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: investors increase bets Trump will win the election. The moves

77
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: reflect beliefs Trump will usher and looser fiscal policy and

78
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: higher tariffs, which are generally viewed as likely to benefit

79
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: the dollar, and weekend treasuries and shares of Trump's media

80
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: company soaring in the pre market. Trump Media and Technology

81
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 1: shares are currently up sixty one percent.

82
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 2: As for other equities, Karen, the focus is going to

83
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: be back on bank earnings. They continue this morning with

84
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: Goldman Sachs reporting Alison Williams is a senior analyst at

85
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: Bloomberg Intelligence.

86
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 8: We are expecting to see some strong trading and fee

87
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 8: revenue from Goldman Sachs this morning, and really the bar

88
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 8: is even higher after some of the results that we

89
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 8: saw on Friday, JP Morgan, who is the leader in

90
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 8: trading and investment banking fees, reporting a gain of almost

91
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 8: twenty percent. Really strong equities and strength and fees across

92
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 8: M and A equity and debt underwriting. We expect these

93
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 8: same sources of revenue are going to power Goldman Sacks

94
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 8: and importantly, we'll be watching the market share for Goldman.

95
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 8: The other benefit to Goldman is that they took a

96
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 8: lot of impairment costs on their commercial real estate last year,

97
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 8: so we feel like that has been cleaned up a

98
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 8: bit and we're expecting to see a much cleaner result

99
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 8: this quarter.

100
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: Bloomberg Intelligence senior Analystallis and Williams says. Goldman's report this

101
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 2: morning will be followed by Morgan, Stanley and Bank of

102
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: America tomorrow.

103
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: And it's time now for a look at some of

104
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,559
Speaker 1: the other stories making news in New York and around

105

Speaker 5: York Mayor Eric Adams spoke at a news conference.

111
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 9: What happens when a twenty year old reaches a point?

112
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 9: Would they believe the only way to settle their political

113
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 9: differences and disputes is to use a AR fifteen or

114
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 9: AK forty seven or any other form of handgun or

115
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 9: weapon that says a terrible message.

116

118
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: When you convince people that someone is evil, there's going

119
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 2: to be some maniac who wants to rid the world

120
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: of evil.

121

00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 5: The NYPD has increased security in front of Trump Tower.

125
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 5: This was a grim weekend as we've lost several celebrities.

126
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,400

Speaker 5: in her New York City home over the weekend at

136
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,600

137
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 5: the World Health Organization and UNISEF, there has been some progress,

138
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 5: but challenges achieving global immunization coverage remain. According to the WHO,

139
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 5: assessing vaccination data from over one hundred ninety countries annually,

140
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 5: things in twenty twenty three were pretty much the same

141
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 5: as twenty twenty two. Doctor Fraim Lemongo, chief of Immunization

142
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 5: at UNISEF, says they are still having areas of conflict

143
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 5: in the world that are not recovering well, like.

144
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 10: In Sudan, the continued fragility in Yemen.

145
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 9: In Afghanistan, he's still continuing to affect children.

146
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 5: About twenty one million children globally are still missing one

147
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 5: or more vaccines. Global News twenty four hours a day

148
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 5: and whenever you want it with the Bloomberg News. Now,

149
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 5: I'm Michael Barr, and this is Bloomberg came all.

150
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: Right, Michael Barr, thank you. It's time now for the

151
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Scores Update with John Stashawer. John, good morning.

152
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 11: Hey, he's a late morning start in Baltimortning.

153
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 10: When the rookie Ben Rice did a three run home

154
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 10: at nineteen, let the Yanks would get a serious sweep

155
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 10: and hit the All Star break in first place. Bottom

156
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 10: of night, the Orioles loaded the bases off Clay Home Stield.

157
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 10: The game should have ended with a routine ground ball

158
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 10: and Anthony Volpi he bobbled it.

159
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 11: The Yanks were still up a run with two help.

160
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 11: We'll Claire out to left field. Starry. It is for

161
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 11: gouging out to go back. He had to go back

162
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:55,599
Speaker 11: and he ducks it.

163
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: Let us over his head and the oil slide is

164
00:08:58,760 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: going in.

165
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 11: Oh heard his in Richmond is in. But it is

166
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 11: your hero Curials walking off.

167
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: Six to five.

168
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 10: Bal Holmes now headed Tomorrow's All Star Game in Texas

169
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 10: spite a one to four record in the league, leading

170
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 10: six blown saves. The Mets five game wins streak end

171
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 10: in Colorado hit six home runs at City Field, three

172
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 10: by Michael Tolio. The Rockies won eight to five. Phillies

173
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 10: have the major's best record the break.

174
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 11: They just lost to Oakland eighteen to three. The Eight's

175
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 11: hit eight home runs, their most in twenty five years.

176
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 11: Lawrence Butler hit three.

177
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 10: Started the MLB draft, Cleveland's got the best record in

178
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 10: the American League, had the first pick, having won the

179
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 10: lottery despite having only two percent chance, and the Guardians

180
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 10: took Travis Pazanna from Oregon State, first time ever a

181
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 10: second baseman drafted first overall.

182
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 11: Big Sports Day in Spain.

183
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 10: First it was Carlos Alcarez winning Wimbledon for the second

184
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 10: straight year, beat Novak Djokobit to the final both times,

185
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 10: this one in straight sets.

186
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 11: Alcarez is the sixth of.

187
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 10: The Open era to win the French and Wimbled in

188
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 10: the same year, and then Spain won the euro Soccer

189
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 10: title for the fourth time, late goal to top England

190
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 10: to the one key in the UK winless and major

191
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 10: tournaments since it won the World Cup back in nineteen

192
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 10: sixty six. The Copa America final was in Miami, wild

193
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 10: scene before the game, many fans stormed in without tickets.

194
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 10: That was a delay and then no goals until the

195
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 10: one hundred and twelve minute Argentina.

196
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 11: Scored an extra time to get by Columbia one nil.

197
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 11: Jumps dash that wear Bloomberg Sports Karna.

201
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 11: Good Morning, got Nathan Hager.

202
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 2: After the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, President

203
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: Biden is looking to rise above the fray or.

204
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 3: We may disagree. We are not enemies. We're neighbors. We're friends,

205
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 3: co workers, citizens, and most importantly, we are fellow Americans.

206
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 3: We must stand together.

207
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: President took to the Oval Office with that message of

208
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: unity last night, looking to revive his campaign against your

209
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: Republican Party, now rallying firmly behind, it's now a wounded

210
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: leader Donald Trump. For more, we were joined by Bloomberg's

211
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: Kevin whitelaw veteran of Washington political coverage. Kevin, good morning.

212
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: This is such a different moment in American politics. What

213
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: stands out to you forty eight hours after the attempt

214
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: on former President Trump's life.

215
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 12: Well, obviously it has rewritten the race once again. But

216
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 12: this is, of course a race. It's being rewritten almost

217
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 12: every week in one way or another, so it's going

218
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 12: to be a little while before we really understand the

219
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 12: overall impact. I think that the violence was obviously shocking

220
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 12: to everybody who watched that moment happen. In Trump's instincts

221
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 12: for showmanship served him better than ever, you know, with

222
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 12: his defiant fist pump and sort of that iconic photo

223
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 12: that you're going to see over and over and over.

224
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 12: I think the larger question going forward is obviously they

225
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 12: both have to shift their tactics a little bit in

226
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 12: the wake of this, and that's going to potentially constrain

227
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 12: Joe Biden's ability to to sharpen and wield a tax

228
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 12: on Trump. But obviously Trump is also going to have

229
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 12: to decide if he wants to try to sort of

230
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 12: keep a more a message of unity or continue this

231
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 12: in the same sort of partisan, hyper partisan sort of

232
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 12: attack mode that he seems most comfortable in.

233
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: You know, we put so much more focus now on

234
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: the Republican National Convention getting underway this morning. We're also

235
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 2: hearing reports that the former president, as you alluded to,

236
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: is revamping his acceptance speech to appeal for unity, even

237
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: inviting Nicky Hayley to speak at the RNC tomorrow. I

238
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 2: guess the basic question, Kevin, is how long does this pivot,

239
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: these calls for unity last. I mean, we've still got

240
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: months till November.

241
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 11: Well, that's just it.

242
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 12: And we do know that that, you know, we know

243
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 12: where Donald Trump's instincts usually take him. And you know,

244
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 12: so thinking back to the convention speech he gave in

245
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 12: particularly in twenty sixteen, but even in twenty twenty, they

246
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 12: were pretty dark and alarmist speeches. He may well be

247
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 12: able to pivot for a little bit, but it's a

248
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 12: little hard to see him necessarily being able to maintain

249
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 12: it for all the way till November. And I think

250
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 12: in the same way for President Biden. You know that

251
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 12: that ability to sort of sharpen the knife and go

252
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 12: after Trump in a and term. You know, ultimately that's

253
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 12: probably the only path that Biden has to reelection is

254
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 12: turning out the anti Trump vote. That's harder in the

255
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 12: short term, but you know, memories fade, and he may

256
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 12: well be able to re engage, particularly if Trump gives

257
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 12: him an opening down the line.

258
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 2: You know, it's been interesting as well to see President

259
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: Biden out in the public spotlight even more now. We

260
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: were expecting that he was going to engage further with

261
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: the public, just to beat back those concerns that they're

262
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: still lingering in the Democratic Party I think about the

263
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 2: president's age and his mental fitness. I mean, he's going

264
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: to be giving an interview still with Lester Whole tonight.

265
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 11: Is that a good move?

266
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: Do you think to keep up this sort of counter

267
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: programming in some way to the president or for the president?

268
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 12: Well, essentially, he's got to find a way to stay

269
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 12: in the spotlight, and he's got to find a way

270
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 12: for it to not just be about the latest gaff

271
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 12: or or senior moment, and so he's going to have

272
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 12: to do it. But obviously suddenly, you know, the attention

273
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 12: is less focused on him on some level that may

274
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 12: be helpful in the short term, but he still has

275
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 12: to find ways to demonstrate time and time again that

276
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 12: he's got the strength and fortitude to be able to

277
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 12: make it through the campaign and then a four year term.

278
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 12: So that's going to be a long, long road for him.

279
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 12: It's obviously only gotten harder in many ways, and we

280
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 12: still will have to wrestle with over the next couple

281
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 12: couple of weeks the continuing questions about whether or not

282
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 12: he needs to be replaced on the ticket. And you know,

283
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 12: Democrats may find that that's a purely attractive, even more

284
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 12: attractive idea as they try to desperately figure out how

285
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 12: to change the narrative after this assassination attempt, But it

286
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 12: also could just leave Biden even more dug in on

287
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 12: him being the best one place to beat Trump.

288
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: So in our last thirty seconds, Kevin, what's the one

289
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: thing you're going to be looking for most closely as

290
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: attention turns to Milwaukee this week?

291
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 12: Well, I do think it's going to be what Donald

292
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 12: Trump's new tone is, should he adopt it, and how

293
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 12: long does it last after the convention when the spotlight

294
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 12: has slightly moved on.

295
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,640
