This is the Bloomberg 2 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: dayba Q, a podcast available every morning on Apples, Spotify 3 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: or wherever you listen. It's Monday, the twenty ninth of 4 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: July here in London. I'm Caroline Hipke and. 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 2: I'm Stephen Carroll. Coming up today. Israel hits back at 6 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 2: Hesbella after twelve children dyeing a rocket attack on the 7 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 2: occupied Golan Heights. 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris raises two hundred million dollars in a week 9 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 1: as Republicans look to shopen their attacks. 10 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 2: Plus, Rachel Reeves accuses the Conservative government of covering up 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 2: the true state of the UK's public finances. But Bloomberg 12 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 2: and others warned of the shortfall before the election. So 13 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 2: can labor really claim to be surprised. 14 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: Well, let's start with a roundup of our top stories. 15 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: Israel has struck Hesbela targets in Lebanon and threatened further 16 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: retaliation after a rocket strike killed twelve young people and 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: the occupied Golan Heights. The Iran Baks militant group denies responsibility. 18 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 2: US Secretary a State Anthony Blincoln says evidence suggests the 19 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: rocket came from Hebellah. 20 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 3: We are deeply said by the loss of life that 21 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 3: we saw. There is no justification for terrorism, period, and 22 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 3: every indication is that indeed the rockets were from h 23 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 3: or the rocket was from Hesbolat. We stand by Israel's 24 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 3: right to defend its citizens from terrorist attacks. 25 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 2: B Lincoln's comments, made while on a trip to Japan, 26 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: come as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Natanyahu vowed to exact 27 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: a heavy price from Hezbollah. The latest escalation coincides with 28 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 2: renewed efforts to secure a ceasefire with Hamas. Over the weekend, 29 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: the head of Israel's massats By agency met the head 30 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: of the CIA, the Katari Prime minister, and the Egyptian 31 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: intelligence chief to discuss the latest iteration of a Gaza 32 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: truce proposal. Negotiations are set to continue in the coming days. 33 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: Turkey's President Urjuwan has suggested that the country could intervene 34 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: on behalf of Palestinians, possibly with literary support. Speaking in 35 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: his hometown, the Turkish leader said, we must be very 36 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: strong so that Israel can't do these things to Palestine. 37 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 4: Well. 38 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: He spoke vaguely and made no indication that he was 39 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: considering any direct military operations. His remarks underscore the growing 40 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: hostility towards Israel. In recent months, Urduan has recalled Turkey's 41 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 1: ambassador to Israel, suspended trade with the country, and sent 42 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: humanitarian aid to Gaza. 43 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris has raised more than two hundred million dollars 44 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: during her first week as a twenty twenty four presidential contender. 45 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: The Vice President has also seen a ten percent increase 46 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: in her favorability during the same period, according to an 47 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 2: ABC News poll, putting her a head of rival Donald Trump, 48 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 2: but Republican Governor Chris Sununu says the support won't last. 49 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 4: I mean, this is the honeymoon period they had, if 50 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 4: you will, the courage to push him off the ballot. 51 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 4: Vice President Harris is in there. The media is fawning, 52 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 4: everyone's excited. It's a whole new race. That's all very true, 53 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 4: and that's going to last for about thirty days. There's 54 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 4: no question I think the Democrats can take that momentum 55 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 4: into the convention. 56 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: Governor sent any of there speaking to ABC News. Harris 57 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 2: received a key endorsement from former President Barack Obama last week, 58 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 2: and her campaign says two thirds of their fundraising tally 59 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 2: came from first time donors. Donald Trump's fundraising has also 60 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 2: surged in recent months, bolstered by support from Wall Street 61 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: and corporate executives drawn to his economic agenda. 62 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: Now to Corporate News, Apple is delaying the release of 63 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: its upcoming artificial intelligence features. Instead, the company is employing 64 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: an unconventional strategy for its rollouts. Bloomberg's Doug Chrisna has 65 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: the details. 66 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 5: The arrival will happen in October, roughly a month later 67 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 5: than anticipated, and the delay will give Apple more time 68 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 5: to fix bugs. We are told to rollout of Apple 69 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 5: Intelligence will be a part of software updates originally scheduled 70 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 5: for September. Now, in spite of the delayed release, Apple 71 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 5: Intelligence will be available to software developers for the first 72 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 5: time for early testing as soon as this week. That 73 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 5: strategy is atypical, but the stakes are higher than usual. 74 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 5: Apple needs support from developers to ensure a smooth consumer 75 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 5: release of its big bet on AI. In New York, 76 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 5: I'm Doug Prisner Bloomberg Radio. 77 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: Well delays that Apple come amits a challenging time for 78 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: the technology sector. Concerns are growing that AI and data 79 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: center spending will decelerate unless companies can generate significant revenue 80 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: from those investments. Investors soured on the promise of returns 81 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: from tech last week, sparking a trillion dollar route in 82 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,039 Speaker 1: the Nasdaq one hundred. 83 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 2: In the UK, Chancellor Rachel Reeves is expected to highlight 84 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 2: a bleak fiscal inheritance in her first major speech since 85 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 2: taking the job. Reeves is due to say she's inherited 86 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 2: a near twenty billion pounds shortfall for public services and 87 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 2: warned Bloomberg of difficult decisions to come. James Wilcock has more. 88 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 6: A roughly twenty billion pound fiscal whole with a dilemma 89 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 6: between harsh spending cuts and tough tax rises in the 90 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 6: diagnosis of the UK economy. But independent think tanks, Bloomberg's 91 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 6: own economists, and even the Office for Budget Responsibility have 92 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 6: been warning of this looming fiscal crisis since the start 93 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 6: of the year. So the question the chancefer faces is 94 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 6: how much of our audit has found new skeletons in 95 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 6: the cupboard? And if her speech later today does turn 96 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 6: up new horrors, how can labor achieve their goals for 97 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 6: government without making a U turn on the tax pledges 98 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 6: In London? James Wilcock Bloomberg Radio. 99 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: Six former Conservative government ministers are now running to replace 100 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: Rishie Sunak as the leader of the party. The former 101 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: business secretary and the Bookmaker's favorite, Kemy Baidenock is the 102 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: latest to declare, with nominations closing this afternoon. Conservative John 103 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: Glenn says that the priority must be to unite the party. 104 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 7: You need somebody who can have the right analysis of 105 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 7: the defeat put the party on the right footing going forward. 106 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 7: But obviously the individual needs to be somebody who the 107 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 7: country can believe is a credible candidate to be Prime 108 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 7: minister in four to five years time. 109 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: John Glenn, speaking their Conservative MPs now in opposition. I 110 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: will now narrow the field down to four candidates by 111 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: the end of September, in time for the party's annual conference. 112 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: A final short list of two will then be put 113 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: forward to the party membership, with the new leader announced 114 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: in November. Now, in a moment, we'll bring you more 115 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: on the rising tensions between Israel and Hezbolla, plus discuss 116 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris's massive fundraising in the US presidential race. But 117 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: first a thought on the first weekend of the Paris Olympic. 118 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 2: I think I've just recovered from the opening ceremony. To 119 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 2: be honest, I'm in all four hours, but I mean it, 120 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: so much has been said about it already. Yes, I 121 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 2: thought it was fantastic. I thought the element of jeopardy 122 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 2: at every single corner, it will anyone fall in the river. 123 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 2: Nobody did, but they all got dreached indeed. And the 124 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: next big question also revolves around the river because they're 125 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: going to They've canceled a second day of training in 126 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 2: the send for the triathletes that were going to their 127 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 2: swimming portion of that. The event is tomorrow. Will the 128 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: water quality have improved in time for the swimming event 129 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 2: to actually take place? 130 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,679 Speaker 1: Look, everyone's cheering on Paris, and of course I watched 131 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: actually a lot more of the sport than I had 132 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: expected over the weekend, including Adam p d. He came 133 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: in first in the qualifying then he missed out on 134 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: the gold. Oh that was so difficult. GB of course 135 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: is on two silver, two bronze medals and we're thirteenth 136 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: in the table at least so far, so fingers crossed them. 137 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 2: For GB plenty to keep us BOSEI over the next 138 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Let's turn out to the latest events 139 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: in the Middle East, where Israel is threatening further retaliation 140 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,559 Speaker 2: against Hasbulla for a rocket strike that killed twelve young people. 141 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 2: Our Middleast Economics and Government editor Paul Wallace's with us 142 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: for more. Paul, good morning. Can you talk us through 143 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 2: how Israel has retaliated so far and what more it 144 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 2: could do? 145 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 8: Hi Seephen it is also far has threatened substantial action, 146 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 8: and one of its ministers even said the action would 147 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 8: be disproportionate, suggesting a heavy heavy strike against Hezwela and 148 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 8: perhaps even something like target targeted Israel targeting civilian infrastructure 149 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 8: in Lebanon. However, there was relatively little that happened overnight, 150 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 8: no major counter strikes from Israel, and it seems as 151 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 8: if so far Prime Minister Benjamin Nettno, who is trying 152 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 8: to give the ceasefire talks regarding Gaza a bit more 153 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 8: of a chance. 154 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 6: They were. 155 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 8: They sort of resumed yesterday in Rome, and while there 156 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 8: weren't any major breakthrough throughs, it does seem as if 157 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 8: Israel just wants to give those a little bit more 158 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 8: time to run. We're still unclear, They're still it's possible 159 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 8: that Israel still could respond in a a in a 160 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 8: massive way, but the early signals are that it doesn't 161 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 8: want to do something that would be tantamount to starting 162 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 8: an all at war with Heswela and or Lebanon. 163 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the concern around how serious the risk 164 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: of escalation is is there. I mean, both sides in 165 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: Lebanon and Israel have talked about that all at war 166 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: being devastating to both countries. Potentially. There has been a 167 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 1: reaction in markets to the worries, though, but you say 168 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: that that there is less concern maybe around the escalation 169 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: or at least some pause. 170 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 8: Perhaps there's still a huge amount of uncertainty, and I 171 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 8: think it's it seems clear that Israel is keeping its 172 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 8: options up and as far as markets are concerned, we 173 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 8: saw quite a quite a drop with Israeli stocks yesterday. 174 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 8: At one point they were down three percent. I think 175 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 8: they ended the day down just over two percent. We'll 176 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 8: see what happens with the shee or today when it 177 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 8: resumes trading. I think what's important to note though, is 178 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 8: that markets have been far more concerned in recent recent 179 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 8: months about the prospect of a full on Hesbela Israel 180 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 8: war than they have done with what's going on in Gaza. 181 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 8: I think markets realize that a war with Hesbela is 182 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 8: an altogether different thing for Israel in the region than 183 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 8: a war between Israel and Hamas and Gaza. It would 184 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 8: be more devastating, as as you've mentioned, officials on both 185 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 8: sides saying Hamas is arguably the most powerful nonstate and 186 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 8: militarily the most powerful non state actor in the world 187 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 8: and almost certainly the region. So that is something that 188 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 8: would seriously unnerve markets if the two sides went into 189 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 8: a full on conflict, and it's the type of thing 190 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 8: that could cause oil prices to jump at least in 191 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 8: the short term. 192 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, indeed, that the issue with the Habela something that 193 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: is worrying markets significantly. Paul, that you mentioned the talks 194 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 2: there that are going on over the ceasefire with in Gaza. 195 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 2: I mean, is this a sign of significant progress? Should 196 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 2: we expect more progress to come in that. 197 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 8: The Israeli is a signaling that yes, there will be 198 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 8: there should be progress of some sort over the over 199 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 8: the coming weeks. As as you and I think most 200 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 8: of the listeners well know, we've been here before, these 201 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 8: talks over a ceasefire and the release of all or 202 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 8: at least some hostages held in Gaza have been dragging 203 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 8: on for for for months, and of course the two 204 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 8: sides Israel than must have never managed to get over 205 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 8: the line. There's still big sticking points Israel wants is 206 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 8: making it absolutely clear that whatever ceasefire is agreed to, 207 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 8: if one is agreed to, it won't be the end 208 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 8: of the war. That Israel must still have the option 209 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 8: to resume fighting if it chooses to, because it says 210 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 8: it's still intent on destroying Hamas as a military and 211 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 8: and governing entity in in in the in the Gaza strip. 212 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 8: There's also this sense, I think in this is slightly 213 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 8: different in the last two or three weeks, there's a 214 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 8: sense in Israel that the military pressure it's putting on 215 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 8: Hamas with its attacks in Gaza are really really pushing 216 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 8: the Isamus group toward accepting a deal of some of 217 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 8: some kind. Essentially, that this military pressure on Hamas is working. 218 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 8: That's at least Israel's point of view. If you look 219 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 8: at the likes of the US and of course Arab 220 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 8: States and and and Israel's allies in Europe, they want 221 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 8: a cease fire immediately, as as you know, as vice president. 222 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 8: Kamala Harris said last week she wants the war to 223 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 8: be over, but Israel is still saying that it wants 224 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 8: total victory. It's certainly open to a cease fire, but 225 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 8: not one that will be seen as a week deal, 226 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 8: especially by far writis in the country. 227 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: Oh okay, thank you so much for being with us. 228 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Midley's Economics and Government editor Pool Wallace to. 229 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 2: US Politics Now, and Kamala Harris has raised two hundred 230 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 2: million dollars in her first week as the presumptive Democratic 231 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 2: nominee for November's election. Our Bloomberg TV anchor Kritti coapt 232 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 2: is with us for more on the political story in 233 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 2: the US Critty, Can you put these numbers in context 234 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: for us? How big is this fundraising drive? How does 235 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 2: it compare to what Donald Trump's taking in? 236 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 9: Yeah, so two hundred million is where we're at here. 237 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 10: And this is really important because sixty six percent of 238 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 10: that two hundred million has come from first time donors. 239 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 10: And this is a really big deal because one of 240 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 10: the big reasons for Kamala Harris to even have this 241 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 10: focus on campaign up pushing in the first place is 242 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 10: that a lot of the pool of money that was 243 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 10: really set aside for the Biden campaign and really raised 244 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 10: through the Democratic National Party was meant to be kind 245 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 10: of something inherited by Kamala Harris. So for her to 246 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 10: say that actually more than even half of that new 247 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 10: money is coming from first time donors really shows that 248 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 10: this isn't really an inheritance story. This is actually more 249 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 10: of kind of broadening support not just among the Democratic 250 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 10: Party but among Independence as well. 251 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 9: This is something that's been reflected in the poll numbers 252 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 9: as well. 253 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 10: I think that's as well very significant because her numbers 254 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 10: have skyrocketed from thirty five percent of an approval rating 255 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 10: up to forty three percent. 256 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 9: To the latest ABC poll. 257 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 10: Now, I want to kind of caution with that that 258 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 10: there is a honeymoon phase that a lot of political 259 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 10: strategists are talking about. She's very exciting, she's very new, 260 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 10: she's doing fun things on TikTok and media and all 261 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 10: that kind of more not trying to be more cater 262 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 10: to a younger, crowded Jazzy is the way saying yes, Chazzy, 263 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 10: let's call it that, and that is showing up in 264 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 10: the number. She's also talking about some very interesting VP picks. 265 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 10: All of these things are showing up in the numbers, 266 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 10: but they may not last. I think that's the key part. 267 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, but then has the Chump campaign then playing I mean, 268 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: obviously emphasizing a point like that. 269 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 10: I imagine, Yeah, they really are, and they're saying I mean, 270 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 10: there's there's some criticism, of course, coming from the likes 271 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 10: of JD. Van, some criticism like talking about childless mothers. 272 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 10: Of course, Kamala Harris is a stepmother to two children 273 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 10: but doesn't have any children of her own, so that 274 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 10: is a criticism that's being used in the MAGA camp 275 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 10: and playing among a domestic audience and really talking about 276 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 10: bringing up issues like her views on abortion or her 277 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 10: views on gun control and things like that. 278 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 9: So that's one of the ways that this is being tackled. 279 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 10: The other is coming from President Trump himself really saying that, look, 280 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 10: she's not going to be appealing to a broader crowd, 281 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 10: and he's actually taking a different approach and appealing to 282 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 10: actually a bitcoin crowd. I know that sounds like two 283 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 10: different things, but the reason it's so significant is simply 284 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 10: because the idea is who gets kind of the bigger numbers, 285 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 10: who gets the massive she's appealing to the female vote, 286 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 10: and if she's appealing to kind of the minority vote, 287 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 10: perhaps then the way that Donald Trump and the Trump 288 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 10: campaign is talking about is doing it more to kind 289 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 10: of a decentralized monetary kind of memestock crypto crowd, and 290 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 10: that's one way of getting more votes. 291 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Europe, your morning brief on the 292 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 2: stories making news from to Wall Street and beyond. 293 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: Look for us on your podcast feed every morning, on Apple, Spotify, 294 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: and anywhere else you get your podcasts. 295 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning on London Dab Radio, 296 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: the Bloomberg Business app, and Bloomberg dot Com. 297 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: Our flagship New York station is also available on your 298 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: Amazon Alexa devices.
