10
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 3: We don't believe that it's advisable to go in in

11
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: a major way in Rafa without a proper, executable, effective

12
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 3: and credible plan for the safety of the more than

17
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: Radio Republican NICKI Haley says Donald Trump made a mistake

18

Speaker 2: saying he'd let Russia do what it wants with NATO

19
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,880

00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: Bloomberg surveillance.

22
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 4: The last thing we're going to do is side with

23
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 4: a thug. Keep in mind Putin kills his opponents. Keep

24
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 4: in mind that he is arrested Evan Gersovich, who's been

25
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 4: sitting in jail just for doing journalism. Keep in mind

26
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 4: that this is a man who has wanted to destroy

27
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 4: America and defeat America for years. I dealt with Russia

28
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 4: every single day. It is a mistake for Trump to

29
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,520

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,360

33
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: campaign has launched a TikTok account in a bid to

34
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: reach younger votevoters, but this comes as the short form

35
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: video platform continues to face concerns about its ties to China.

36
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Kaylee Lines reports from Washington.

37
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 5: This administration also has voice concerns about this platform. Biden

38
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 5: himself signed into law legislation that bans the use of

39
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 5: TikTok on government phones. If you work for a government

40
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 5: agency and have a phone tied to that agency, you

41
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 5: aren't allowed to use this platform. Of course, under the

42
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 5: Biden administration, Siphius is also threatened to ban TikTok in

43
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 5: the US if ByteDance were not to divest from the

44
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 5: platform here. So you have those concerns on the one hand,

45
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 5: and campaign officials have told Bloomberg that they are taking

46
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 5: protections in order to make sure this account is secure.

47
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 5: But on the other hand, the end voters are there

48
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 5: and they say they want to meet them where they are.

49
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Kaylee Lines, reporting from Washington. In the meantime, Biden

50
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: confronted concerns about his memory in a speech over the weekend.

51
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: Made in America. What I didn't realize, and I've been around,

52
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: I know it don't look like if I've been around

53
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: a while, I do remember that.

54
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: The President took an apparent dig there at Special Council

55
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: Robert Hurr's report last week. That report described Biden as

56
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: a well meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. New

57
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: York City police are looking for a gunman who shot

58
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: six people at the Eden subway station in the Bronx.

59
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: The shooting happened just ahead of rush hour. One person

60
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: died five were injured. Police say the shooting stems from

61
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: a dispute between two groups of teenagers on a train.

62
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: They are now reviewing video footage from the subway station

63
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 2: to identify the exact number of shooters. Donald Trump has

64
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: endorsed his daughter in law, Lara Trump, to help lead

65
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: the Republican National Committee. Sources say the current chairwoman, Ronal McDaniel,

66
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: has been in discussions to step down. Endorsing his daughter

67
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: in law for RNC chair after applying public pressure on

68
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: McDaniel to step down, would all but complete Trump's control

69
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: of the Republican campaign apparatus. Trump added that he had

70
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: also asked Chris la Cevita to in effect assume the

71
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: role of RNC Chief operating officer. That's news when you
