It's part of 6 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: my DNA. The Senate map in looks a lot different 7 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: than it looked in. You really have a divide within 8 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: Team Trump. The President has to do exactly what people 9 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: send him here to do, which is to get it done. 10 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Sound On with Kevin Shirley on Bloomberg 11 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: and one oh five point seven F M h D two. 12 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,160 Speaker 1: Happy Monday, folks.

It was a fascinating start to the week 29 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: as President Trump gave a press conference in be a Ritz, 30 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: France at the conclusion during the G seven rather and 31 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: he made a bevy of headlines on all different fronts, 32 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: including Iran, US China trade relations and you S European 33 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: trade relations as well.

Huggar, I'm so thrilled 36 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: that you were able to call in, I was saying 37 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: earlier during the press conference. I gotta get her guards 38 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: take on this. Let's start with the idea of French 39 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: President Emmanuel mccrawl playing middleman. I know that no one 40 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 1: wants to call him that, but middleman essentially between arranging 41 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: a meeting potentially in New York in just a few weeks, 42 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: between President Trump and Iran. Yeah, I'm so glad. First 43 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: of all, I wish they were there in person, but 44 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: thank you for having me over the phone. Um, I'm 45 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: been nerding out on this topic all day, and it's 46 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: you know, I was stunned when I saw news of 47 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: this break that he had invited foreign Mrs a Reef 48 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: to the summit. And the reason for that is that 49 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: in all the years that I helped prepare G seven 50 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: summits when I was in the government at Treasury, at 51 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: the White House, never once did I see a host 52 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: of a G seven summit invite the adversary of any 53 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: of any of the leaders at the G seven, certainly 54 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: not of the United States. I mean, had that happened 55 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: when when I was in government, we would have been 56 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: really offended, and I'm certain we would have probably taken 57 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: some kind of retaliatory action. But um, but the fact 58 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: of the matter is, while his move as well attentioned, 59 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: you know, it was obviously meant to lay a groundwork 60 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: for diplomacy and for negotiations, and I think that's that's noble. 61 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: In a lot of ways, I think it was a 62 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: little bit ill planned and a little bit embarrassing because 63 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: it just looked clumsy. It looked a lot of people 64 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: were confused. The press was confused. I mean, uh, Trump 65 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: was confused. A lot of people came out wondering what 66 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: his goals were, what the outcome was meant to be. Um, 67 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: it's it's not really how you do things. Now. One 68 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: thing I will say that I'm very curious about is 69 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: whether or not it does in fact lead to some 70 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: kind of meeting between between all the leaders. Uh, guy, 71 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: is a perfect opportunity for that the end of a meeting, 72 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: and that's just in a few weeks. And I mean, 73 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: just to kind of put this on folks radar, if 74 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: you're just joining us earlier today, Uh, President Emmaluel mccrona France, 75 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: the host country of the G seven, seemingly a suggesting 76 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: that he would play a role in arranging a meeting 77 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: of sorts between President Trump and Iranni and President Hassan 78 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: Ruwani and you know, Hagar Shamali, foreign policy expert on 79 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: the line now previously at the Treasury Department UH in 80 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 1: the Obama administration, and and she's saying the U n 81 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: g A in September could be absolutely fire to use 82 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: some millennial speak, because President Trump could very well go 83 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: up there and delivering deliver a blistering critique of the 84 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: United Nations. Meanwhile, there could be this one off meeting 85 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: with of Ron. Okay, so that's topic number one that 86 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: came out of this press conference. Emily Miller's here and 87 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: coming up. I'm gonna ask her about this because she's 88 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: the former Depth D Press Secretary and for the State's 89 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: Department in George W. Bush's administration. I can't wait to 90 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: get her take to Chinaman on that. On the second front, 91 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: the President, I mean, wow, talk about it. Daging seventy 92 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: two hours in US China trade relations. He essentially sought 93 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: to calm the markets, Republicans, the world China President she 94 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: and say that he is hopeful that China will ultimately 95 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: get to a deal. The theater of all of this 96 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: is that while he's saying that that he's hopeful that 97 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: there will somehow be a deal, there was like this 98 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: bizarre Twitter issue as to whether or not he called 99 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: or didn't call the way wa the top economic advisor 100 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: President She So, I mean, wow, let's let's go to China. Now, 101 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: what did you make of the president's remarks on US 102 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: China trade relations at this press conference? You know, it 103 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: didn't surprise me because it's similar to what we've been 104 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: hearing for the last few months coming out of President Trump, 105 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: where he he has he has repeatedly said, you know, O, President, 106 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: she's gonna negotiate, We're going to meet at the table, 107 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: and then you know, a week later, tariff are there 108 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: their additional tariffs? And so, you know, it didn't surprise me. 109 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: What did surprise me was that not there wasn't more 110 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: that came out of the G seven on this topic. 111 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: I mean, let's remember why the G seven was created 112 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: and and its purpose. It was created in the nineteen 113 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: seventies of with the lot world's largest economies to address 114 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: international economic issues, national security, and energy policy. And so 115 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: this is the perfect issue for the G seven to 116 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: take on. And what you kind of had was President 117 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: mccron's in the press conference saying that the G seven 118 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: should work together on these issues, which is great, but 119 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: there's just not a lot there there right, It wasn't 120 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: a very substantive outcome. President Trump really took it upon 121 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: himself and and isolated the US from the EU allies 122 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: on this topic, um and and and the mainly the 123 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: main reason why I think that's a shame is because 124 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: I actually do think that there there are there are 125 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: some overlapping agreements with regard to how China pursues trade 126 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: between US and the European allies, and I think Trump 127 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: should have reached out to them from the beginning because 128 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: it would have pressured China much more successfully. Hagar Shamali 129 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: is on the line. She's CEO of Greenwich Media Strategies, 130 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: former Treasury spokesperson for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence UH for 131 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: the Obama White House, where she's joining us as we're 132 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: sorting through the bevy of headlines that occurred earlier today 133 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: when President Trump delivered a press conference at the G seven, 134 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: and we're talking about what he had to say about Iran, 135 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: about US China trained relations before we moved to Europe. 136 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: Just quickly, I want to play for you what President 137 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: Trump said about President shi Jing Ping of China. Take 138 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: a lesson. I think President she is a great leader 139 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: who happens to be a brilliant man, and he can't 140 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: lose three million jobs in a very short period of 141 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: time and that's gonna be magnified many times over, and 142 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: it's going to break down the Chinese system of trade 143 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: and he can't do that. You know, we're gonna talk 144 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: more about this coming up in the US, trying to 145 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: trade dynamic. But Wow, on Friday, I was driving to 146 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh for my best buddy's wedding and I'm watching these 147 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: tweets come in and I'm like, I gotta get on 148 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: air because the I mean, the president essentially was encouraging 149 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: no business, no US businesses to do business in China. 150 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: So to go from Friday to where we are today 151 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: at the G seven, Wow, fascinating, that's all I got. Wow. 152 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: But pivoting back quickly now to the US and Europe. 153 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: The President for now, for now holding off on adding 154 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: additional tariffs to Europe. So it looks like by all accounts, 155 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: this was a calm for lack of a better word, 156 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: G seven and no no volatility on the tariff front. 157 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: Her car Yeah, that's I mean, I guess no in that, 158 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean it was a successful summit. From 159 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,599 Speaker 1: my perspective at least. I mean I was disappointed. I 160 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: kind of I viewed it as amateur hour overall, because 161 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: I I felt as though, right, I mean, from the beginning, 162 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: it started off on a bravado foot, right, I mean, 163 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: President Trump wanted to invite Russia to the summit and 164 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: said that or Russia should be uh, should we should 165 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 1: be reinvited back to the to join the G seven 166 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: UM UH not think the fact that the reason that 167 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: they were ejected from from what was the G eight 168 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: at the time was because of their invasion and annexation 169 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 1: of Crimea UM. And so it started with that. He 170 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: reiterated that call uh went during the summit, and the 171 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: Italian Prime Minister backed him up in that claim, in 172 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: that suggestion, which is all the more ugly because one 173 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: of the one allegedly one of the reasons for which 174 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: the Italian Prime Minister resigned was because he sought financial 175 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: support from Moscow for his political party in Italy. I mean, 176 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: it's it was just it anster hours, really the thing 177 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: I was thinking about, and I, like I said, with 178 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,439 Speaker 1: the maneuver by President maccontin invite the Reef without a 179 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: very clear and detailed plan, I thought was messy. Um. 180 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: And so you know, on one hand, you could say 181 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: that it wasn't if you compare to the summits of 182 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 1: last year and the year before where last year President 183 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: Trump walked out of the summit early, never signed the 184 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,599 Speaker 1: Kay decay, and the year before that where there was 185 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: no agreement. The US refused to agree to implement the 186 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 1: Paris Climate Accord um, which obviously caused a lot of 187 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: upset domestically and abroad. Right, So if you look at 188 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: it in that way, then yes, it was less drama. 189 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: But if I had to give the summit a grade, 190 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: I would have given it a c. Alright, howgard gives 191 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: it a c uh? You know from the market perspective, 192 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: by the way, not many market watchers were anticipating any 193 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: type of major deal. I think the big takeaway as 194 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: French President Emanuel mcrawl seizing the mantle that German Chancellor 195 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: Angela Merkel had previously occupied. She's obviously on her way 196 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: out of power. Uh, And the arrival of Prime Minister 197 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: Boris Johnson of the UK, so President Trump feeling perhaps 198 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: like he has an ally now in Boris Johnson. But folks, first, 199 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,599 Speaker 1: I was surprised as as a journalist to see the 200 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: dynamic playout between President Trump and President mccron.

A dizzying 229 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: day of headlines out of that G seven. We're gonna 230 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: come back to that, particularly how French President Emmanuel mcron 231 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: has offered to arrange a meeting between President Trump and 232 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: President Hassan Ruani of Iron. But first I want to 233 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: get to this bombshell Monmouth University poll that just came 234 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: out that is electrifying Democratic presidential primary field. Josh Gaalper's here. 235 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 1: He's co founder and partner of public relations firm Trident 236 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: d MG and the law firm Davis, Goldberg and Galloper. 237 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: And Emily Miller is here of Republican strategist.

Bush's administration. All right, thank you 240 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: both for being here. Did you see this mom with Paul? Yes? Okay, 241 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,559 Speaker 1: And now I take it that you both have very 242 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: different different in terms or maybe you don't, maybe you 243 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,239 Speaker 1: have this interpretation, but Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and Elizabeth 244 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: Warren are locked in a three way lead for the 245 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: Democratic bid. And get this Sanders, Liz Warren, Joe Biden, 246 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: Josh Cowper as a sorry Emily, but as the Democratic Josh, 247 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: this is his world, this is your world. Tell us 248 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: about it. Yes, well, this poll is definitely an outlier 249 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: in terms of a lot of other polls that we've 250 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: seen come out over the last few weeks. Um. It 251 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: is a smaller sample size than other polls we've seen 252 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: come out. It does register this three way tie. It 253 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: also comes after, you know, a pretty rough patch for 254 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: for Joe Biden. And you know, it's not a surprise 255 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: that a poll would reflect any kind of troubles that 256 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: he's been having, you know, in the media, that he's 257 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: uh caused from his statements you know, on the trail. 258 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: But I think the important thing to realize is that 259 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: this is a snapshot in time. I'll always say that 260 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: about polls. I think it's the right way to look 261 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: at these things. They do go up, they do go down, 262 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: and they change over time. Um. I also think he 263 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: still has, you know, the largest amount of name recognition 264 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: among the primary electorate. And it's an electorate that's showing 265 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: us in pull after a poll that they want somebody 266 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: to beat Donald Trump. We can't really put our arms 267 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: around exactly what that means for a Democratic primary voter, 268 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: but but he is the person that they deem most electable. 269 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: So I think over time you'll see that change. I 270 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: hear you. But I mean, this is really good news. 271 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: If you're in the Warren world or the Bernie Sanders world, 272 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: or the Donald Trump world. Why oh, the White House 273 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: is probably I mean the RNC, I should say, is 274 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: probably thrilled with this news because it's the movement. You 275 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: see the top leaders being Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, 276 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: who possibly Bernie Sanders could be president I can't say 277 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: never never, but Bernie Sanders versus Donald Trump is really 278 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: good for Donald Trump. Joe Biden is more moderate obviously 279 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: can pull to They have some good fight over that 280 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: Ruspell stage the Midwest. But and Elizabeth Warren, I mean, 281 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: she's very far left, and I think, um, you know, 282 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: the Trump voters would I mean, you're gonna have She's 283 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 1: gonna lose the middle. See, I'm fascinated by this. Earlier 284 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: today on Bloomberg Television, I interviewed Kyle Kendrick from Larry 285 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: Sabato's Crystal Ball Um, which I love. I love that 286 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: how he named it the Crystal Ball, like it's so 287 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: like it's like the Wizard of Oz, like so mysterious 288 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: likes are always wrong, by the way, but whatever, but 289 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: they are, like they're fascinating with how they how they 290 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: crunch the numbers and they do great work over there. 291 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: And I asked Kyle, I said, we all in the 292 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: media have said that Elizabeth Warren supporters and Bernie Sanders 293 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: supporters that they appeal to the same type of voters, respectfully, right, 294 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: you're both shaking your heads, no, because I think that 295 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 1: they are. They appeal to two very different type of 296 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: voters and tell me what differences you see, and then 297 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: Josh the same question. Do you the Bernie Sanders voters 298 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: are actually closer to the Donald Trump voters? Amen? I've 299 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: said this for years. Yeah. I mean if you're on 300 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: like you and I are both out one and you 301 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: just it is not these are not This is sort 302 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: of the this is where it's the people who are 303 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: anti establishment. That's that's that voter pool that he pulled 304 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump pulled out and Bernie Sanders um as well. Look, 305 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren has done a tremendous job of putting out 306 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: very detailed policy positions, her slogan of courses, I have 307 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 1: a policy plan for that, and I think that attracts 308 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people across the spectrum, and I think 309 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: that's partly why she's gaining, you know, greater support. I 310 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: do agree with this comment that you know, back in 311 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: Steen there was this competition over over those voters that 312 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: were similar. But um, you know, I think I think 313 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: Warren sort of enlarges the pie way past where Bernie's 314 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: support is. And I think that from an organizational perspective, 315 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: she she may be more formally implemented the structures for 316 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: organization in early States, which is definitely to her advantage. 317 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: And they were saying christ Chrystal Ball folks are saying 318 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 1: that Warren supporters tend to be more educated in the 319 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: sense of they've had more more degrees. Uh. They traditionally 320 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: tend to be more in the suburbs. Uh. And And 321 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 1: to Emily's point, Senator Bernie Sanders supporters tend to be um. 322 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: They have that. I don't want to use the word 323 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: libertarian because I know libertarians if they're in their car 324 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: driving home from work, I don't want to cause any accidents. So, 325 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: but they tend to be that more anti establishment vein 326 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: and the Democratic Party. But here's where I think this 327 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: is really bad news for is everybody else, is that 328 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,679 Speaker 1: we are now at a point where if you're Senator 329 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris or Corey Booker, yes you're going to be 330 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: on the debate stage, and you've got to qualify by Wednesday. 331 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: But they're in danger of this being a three way race, 332 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: and that becomes problematic ultimately for them. We have the movement. 333 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: I thought of this, I thought the movement. Whether this 334 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,239 Speaker 1: Polly got liar, we don't know yet. We'll see when 335 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: others come out. Um, but I thought the movement in 336 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: the poll is the most interesting part. With Biden going 337 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: down and Warren and and Sanders going up, I thought 338 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: that what has been going on, I mean, I actually 339 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: don't know what do you think is going on? Yeah? Look, 340 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: I think for going on is he's been a political 341 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: Panada for the past since you know, a month after 342 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: the entrance, a few weeks into the entrance. I think 343 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: that's a lot of what you're seeing go on here. 344 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: I think that two things I would say, the truth 345 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: between you know, Warren and Sanders for some time that's 346 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: been in place since that last debate, probably worked to 347 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: their benefit, right to not attack each other and try 348 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 1: to out um plan each other with things on the 349 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: left that would you know, there are a cross over 350 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: people saying they like both of them, right, and that's 351 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: a good thing. Can I say a second thing about 352 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: about this whole three you know, could this become a 353 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: through a race now? I think there's been a fictional 354 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: kind of structure put around how this race should pay 355 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: out on the Democratic side due to the way that 356 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: we're organizing these debates on the Democratic side. Um, just 357 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: because there are a certain number of people on the 358 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: debate stage does not mean that there's not a chance 359 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: for somebody to come around and make it for the 360 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: debate after that, for somebody to say, Williams, I'm not 361 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: even lying. She's told me last week that she whether 362 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: she makes the debate or not, she's going to stay 363 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: in the race. Go ahead, you know what she's Please 364 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: let her be in the debate. So ruined, I would 365 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: watch it. It's not Marry and Williams say definitely wants 366 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: to see it. I'd love to see it too. I 367 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: think there's a school thought that says more than merrier here. 368 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: I know that we want to win this down, but 369 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: at the same time, if people have something to say 370 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: to their supporters, they've got money to fuel themselves still, 371 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: and they've got ideas to contribute. There should be more voices, 372 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: you know, involved with this, and I think that those 373 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: in the top positions are probably welcoming it. It may 374 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: make it easier for them to hang up there are 375 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: We have so much to talk about coming up. We're 376 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: also going to talk about Joe Biden's vision for the 377 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: country because we we've we've mentioned this. Warren and Sanders 378 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: are putting it out policies, and I'm not sure yet yet. 379 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 1: We're starting to see some Biden policies yet though, if 380 00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,040 Speaker 1: voters know precisely what a Biden presidency would need in 381 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: terms of policy, I'm going to get back to US 382 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,959 Speaker 1: and Iran relations as well with Emily Miller Josh Galper. 383 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: You can download the Bloomberg Sound On podcast on Apple iTunes, 384 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: at Bloomberg dot com, or by downloading the Bloomberg Business App. 385 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: You can also find us on Radio dot com, I 386 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: Heart Radio and Spotify and Kevin Crelli the weather outside 387 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: beautiful day today.

I mean 410 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: I having worked to the State Department UM for two 411 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: years under Secretary of Powell, Colin Palen and Connoiez Rice. 412 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 1: You walk into these big international meetings, you know pretty 413 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: much everything is going to happen.

You have some negotiation between the principles. 417 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:20,719 Speaker 1: Nothing like this. This is unprecedented. And um, if they did, 418 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: then they're doing a really good job of playing this 419 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: crazy reality show game.

You 425 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: don't invite the president of a country that is one 426 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: of the biggest supporters of terrorism.

Yeah, well, let's let's look at 445 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: just one second in the history, because we talked about 446 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: the past and the palidive cat ash, the what I 447 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: like to call in o'carnard about the President Obama and 448 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: making the deal in the first place, which I just 449 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: want to remind folks, we're trying to get back to 450 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: where we were with the deal previous at this point 451 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: to to make sure that stop making well, you know, 452 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: to make them stop for making you your weapons. And 453 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: and i'd like to see what terms that that President 454 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: Trump comes up with it are somehow better than what 455 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:27,959 Speaker 1: President Obama did, but not to debate that right now, Yes, 456 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: we all agree that we want to stop. Right, we 457 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: can agree, let's not do that debate. We're gonna drive home. 458 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: We're gonna say to play domestically. Exact, play domestically because 459 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: a massive, massive development to have one of the most 460 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: progressive leaders in Europe, French President Emmanuel McCrone, seize the 461 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: mantle of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and say, hey, listen, 462 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna negotiate a meeting between Iran and the United 463 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: States to make this offer, whether it's a surprise or not, 464 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: just weeks before the UN General. Absolutely, and look, it 465 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: was a big grand move by a host. And you know, 466 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: Emily made reference to a reality show type of moment, 467 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: and it really was. I totally agree with her. It 468 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: was a page we do and we agree on on 469 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: other things too, But yes, it was. It was a 470 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: way of of injecting suspense and drama into the meeting 471 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: um to to seize the mantle as a leader of 472 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: Europe and of the world, right of the G seven 473 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: to set this up. But I also think that a 474 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: lot more groundwork needs to be done, you know, as 475 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: Emily was saying, you know, before any of these types 476 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: of meetings, you need to do your homework. And that 477 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: means the Trump administration, if they are going to actually 478 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: meet with the r Indians, you know, around on, they're 479 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: going to actually have to do a lot of homework 480 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: and prepare to And I think given the history of 481 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: how we view these, uh you know, top level meetings, 482 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: they don't necessarily work out that way and they don't 483 00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: get the results that the president wants. I'll tell you 484 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 1: having I'm thinking myself if I was with with the 485 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: Secretary State UM and this happened, this kind of thing, 486 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: this exact thing happened. Every reporter there is asking, as 487 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,479 Speaker 1: you would probably be asking if you were there, how 488 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: in the world this happened? How do you get to 489 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: this place? And he surprises us, And I think Nited 490 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: States did a great job of looking strong, saying we're 491 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: open to it's a possible. You know, there is that 492 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: chance that we did know about it. And then you know, 493 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: I'm not privy anymore to UM top level intelligence at 494 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: the State Department, but perhaps we did know and it 495 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: was a gamble. I don't know, but um, I thought, 496 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: you know, the President handled it well, But there is 497 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: a lot of questions about how something like this could happen. 498 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 1: I mean, and I said this, we were talking about 499 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: this on Bloomberg Television earlier. I mean just a few 500 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: weeks ago. Are very on. Jennifer Jacobs had this massive 501 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: scoop about how the Reef for Ministers, the Reef of 502 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: Iran was maybe going to have a meeting with Senator 503 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: ran Paul Rampaul in New York with the reef reef 504 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: was here. It was a lot of a lot of 505 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: folks were asking the question why. And then when I 506 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: interviewed the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo like a week later, 507 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: you know, he was just essentially saying, like, you know, 508 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: Zariff is not who who they view to be a 509 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 1: top negotiator in terms of how all of this is 510 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 1: going down. But this Iran situation is becoming quite quite 511 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: the situation. So I just want to hammer this point home. 512 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: French President Emmanuel mccrall on the global stage playing host 513 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: at the G seven. Whether it was a surprise or not, 514 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: but it's looking like it was a surprise. Makes this 515 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: offer now, he asked. He clicked to clarify. He said 516 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: that he invited Iran earlier and then told Americans because 517 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: they don't play by that game and hesions just a few. 518 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna, we're gonna over the next couple 519 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: of weeks.

It's where we get 551 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: to ask our guests about maybe something in the in 552 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: the news that isn't getting a lot of attention but 553 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: should be getting more. Josh, what's on your radar. Look, 554 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of attention about the states and 555 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: legalizing marijuana in some four orm um. But at the 556 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: federal level, there's been a lot of movement and new introduction, 557 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: new legislation introduced around the banking system, around transportation across 558 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: state lines that cuts into the illegal Schedule one status 559 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: as an illegal drug federally. And I think you're going 560 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: to see one major piece of legislation passed this session 561 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 1: subject Wow, and maybe even in the next couple of months. Yeah, 562 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: because you know what happens during an election year. Yeah, 563 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: that's fascinating and that's something that we are carefully carefully watching. 564 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: All right, about Nancy Policino, her friends will just smoke 565 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: pot on the House floor. Cannabis actually really got the ball? 566 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: Who really got the ball? Rolling on the state majorarity 567 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: leader Mitch McConnell has been a huge ally for for 568 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: that industry. All right, Emilie Miller, go, well, I woke 569 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: up this morning. First thing to do is check Twitter, 570 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: and I see boycott Olive Garden. I'm like, what happened? 571 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: But of course I know immediately now because if you're 572 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: if boycott and it is trending on Twitter, it means 573 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: it's some connection the president. And once again so there 574 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: was a fake viral tweet that said all of Garden 575 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: donate to the president Republican president, who has been very 576 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: good for business, to be clear, which almost every company 577 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: has in some way Republican Party and Democrat Party as well, 578 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: and they had Olive Gardens PR Crisis Communications today had 579 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: actually put out a tweet saying we did not give 580 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: money to the Republicans. Here's the tweet. We don't know 581 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: where this information came from. We don't know where this 582 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: information came from, but it is incorrect. Our company does 583 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: not donate to presidential candidates, and that's broadly they say 584 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: all federal candidates as well. But the fact is, like 585 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: left goes crazy over any like what is this like 586 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: companies like Equinox and spin Cycle. I don't do soule cycle, 587 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: but I did blown Equinox at one point, and these 588 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 1: businesses business, Republicans are good business has been forever. But 589 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: it's actually I was talking about this on SNC the 590 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: other way. It's it's a broader trend, right, It's yes, 591 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: it happening in the Trump era. But remember the Kendall 592 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: Jenner pepsi ad and the backlash that came with that 593 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: when she released this this this large pepsi ad. Uh. 594 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: And you look at and how brands and and ceo 595 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 1: s are are really having to be politicians and respond 596 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: to Josh you know this to crisis communications and the 597 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: culture wars in real time. And Olive Garden, Hey, they 598 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: got great breadsticks, but they want and on the campaign trail. 599 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. I ate and worked out 600 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: of a lot manny in Olive Garden in New Hampshire 601 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: because they also have free WiFi. All right, Uh, it 602 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: was interesting, But listen, I work everywhere. That's I mean 603 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 1: Olive Garden. Anyway, Olive Garden got soul cycled. Today everybody's 604 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: just like Olive Garden got soul cycle.

He was elected, he's signing he's not 612 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: not right for re election because his his what unfortunately 613 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: we should I'll be praying for them as the wife 614 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: is pregnant with a child, ninth child, and she's due 615 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 1: in late October.
