That's the most of any five years 37 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 3: going back to the nineteen sixties, and that number includes 38 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 3: the two attempts on President Trump's life last year. In 39 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 3: their research note Bloomberg economist Jennifer Welch and Martin Quick 40 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 3: say intensifying political polarization seems to be contributing to the rise. 41 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 3: They say the risk going forward is that violence may 42 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 3: lead to more violence. 43 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 2: Well, Nathan, let's turn to new developments this morning.

We see it every 50 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 6: day where the vitriol and the political arguing and fighting, 51 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 6: it's not leading to anything but anger and negativity. 52 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: And Joshkraft won just twenty three percent of the vote 53 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 2: compared to Wu's seventy two percent. He shattered fundraising records 54 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 2: and outspend Wu by millions, but his suspension leaves Wu 55 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: all but assured of a second term. In November, no 56 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: other challenger advanced beyond the preliminary contest. 57 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: Turned out to the latest on the trade front, Karen 58 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 3: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett will meet with Chinese Vice Premier 59 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 3: Holy Fang in Madrid next week. 60 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 7: They plan to discuss. 61 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 3: Trade, economic and national security issues, In another sign talks 62 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 3: between the two sides are heating up.

He wants this to go to the 80 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 8: Supreme Court for the final word as soon as possible, 81 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 8: So the administration asks for a ruling by Monday, that's 82 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 8: one day before the FED starts meeting to vote whether 83 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 8: to lower interest rates.

Authorities in Utah say they 186 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 3: have more than seven thousand leads and tips, including photos 187 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 3: and surveillance video, but Utah Governor Spencer Cox is warning 188 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 3: that people should not be swayed by false leads. 189 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 4: What we're seeing is our adversaries want violence. 190 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 2: China. 191 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 4: We have bots from Russia, China, all over the world 192 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 4: that are trying to instill disinformation and encourage violence. 193 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 7: I would encourage you to ignore those. 194 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 3: That was Utah Governor Spencer Cox updating the media last night. 195 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 3: This morning, we were joined by Bloomberg's David Gura, the 196 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 3: host of The Big Take podcast. So David, let's get 197 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 3: to actual information. Update us on where things stand in 198 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 3: the investigation right now. 199 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 7: Good morning, Good morning, Governor Cox. We just heard from there. 200 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 13: I was part of a news conference last night giving 201 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 13: an update on this investigation. He was there with Cash Betel, 202 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 13: the director of the FBI, Dan Bongino, his deputy is 203 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 13: in Utah as well as all of this unfolds, and 204 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 13: at this point, Nathan, we still have precious little information. 205 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,599 Speaker 7: This man hunt continues. 206 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 13: At the news conference last night, the FBI did release 207 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 13: new footage that they have from the scene here showing 208 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 13: a person of interest running across a roof, than at 209 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 13: the edge of it, jumping down onto some grass and 210 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 13: running into the woods. New photographs as well of this 211 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 13: person of interest wearing a T shirt, a black T 212 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 13: shirt hat with a triangle on it, that T shirt 213 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 13: having an American flag on it, suggesting the person was 214 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 13: wearing Converse shoes as well. So giving some information here 215 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 13: to the public to help identify this person if they can. 216 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 13: But as you said, three days into this, no indication 217 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 13: of them having any very close leads of getting this 218 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 13: person yet. And there was an interesting Q and a 219 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 13: during that news conference last night, a reporter asking the 220 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 13: DPS commissioner in Utah if they think this person of 221 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 13: interest remains in Utah and bo Mason the commissioner saying 222 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 13: he has no idea, so we'll see what happens today. 223 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 13: But again we heard that entreaty from public safety officials, 224 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 13: including the FBI director, that if people know more about 225 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 13: this incident, they should tell the government. Offering one hundred 226 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 13: thousand dollars reward and indicating they've gotten more than seven 227 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 13: thousand leads the far comparable only to what we saw 228 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 13: after that Boston Marathon palmmon. 229 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 3: And in terms of this concern that Governor Cox raised 230 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 3: about disinformation spreading online, David, how is that playing out? 231 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 13: We've seen a lot of it, and unfortunately it was 232 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 13: done rather acutely in the case of the FBI director 233 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 13: who posted on social media shortly after the shooting that 234 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 13: the FBI had in fact caught the suspect responsible and 235 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 13: had to walk that back in a subsequent post. The 236 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 13: FBI has brought in two individuals persons of interest for questioning, 237 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 13: but those are not suspects in this case. So that's 238 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,599 Speaker 13: only kind of fueled the fires around all of it. 239 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 13: Surrounding all of this, but yeah, as you say, it's 240 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 13: spread a lot on social media. I think in part 241 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 13: because of the position of influence that Charlie Kirk had 242 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 13: as somebody who was very active on social media, somebody 243 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 13: who's TikTok videos, Instagram videos really were incredibly popular. So 244 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 13: he's somebody who very much lived online as well, talking 245 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 13: about that position of influencer. Seeing that play out, particularly 246 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 13: with President Trump saying he's going to attend the funeral 247 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 13: next week while he's still scheduled to go for state 248 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 13: visited the u u k next week as well, what 249 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 13: kind of a shadow has the loss of Charlie Kirk 250 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 13: cast over Washington, DC. We heard the President address this 251 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 13: assassination twice yesterday. First was at that memorial for nine 252 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 13: to eleven at the Pentagon, where he said that Charlie 253 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 13: Kirk would receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously, and 254 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 13: then as he made his way to New York for 255 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 13: that Yankees Detroit game last night, talked about it once 256 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 13: again and says he doesn't tend to attend the funeral, 257 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 13: which is going to be in Arizona. But Charlie Kirk 258 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 13: was a very close friend to the Trump family. Of course, 259 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 13: he played an important role in the re election campaign, 260 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 13: but knew the President and his sons very well. 261 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 7: The whole family. We saw JD. 262 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 13: Van's, the Vice President, the last minute cancel a trip 263 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 13: to New York for a nine to eleven memorial service 264 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 13: to make his way to Utah to be on the 265 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 13: scene there and accompany the casket with Charlie Kirk two 266 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 13: Arizona to his home state. So I think it kind 267 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 13: of really shows here the important role that Charlie Kirk played, yes, 268 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 13: in Republican politics, Trump family politics, but also just as 269 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 13: a friend and a real ally of the family. And 270 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 13: we're seeing the weight that that has on the Trump's 271 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 13: here in the last three days. 272 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 3: Just thirty seconds left, David, But we've seen a lot 273 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 3: of reflection about where the discourse is in this country. 274 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 3: This new analysis from Bloomberg Economics that political violence is 275 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 3: at record levels in this country. 276 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 7: What is the risk that this could lead to more tensions? 277 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 13: Incredibly sobering facet of all of this is that uptick 278 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 13: in political violence. That analysis that you mentioned highlighting the 279 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 13: fact there have been five assassinations or attempted assassinations of politicians, 280 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 13: including two of President Trump here in recent years. So 281 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 13: really the trend is not heading in a good direction. 282 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 13: If there's any kind of unified voice coming through all 283 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 13: of this. It's that call for the temperature to cool down, 284 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 13: and you played that clip of Governor Cox at the top. 285 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 13: He also paraphrased Charlie Kirk and thuring that news conference 286 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 13: yesterday suggesting we should all put our phones down more 287 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 13: and spend more time with our family. So he hoping 288 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 13: that a legacy here is that we begin to sort 289 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 13: of wake up to the fact that this isn't how 290 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 13: discourse is supposed to be in this country and move 291 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 13: back to a place where we're all able to speak 292 00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 13: with one another without the threat of physical violence. 293 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak, your morning podcast on the stories 294 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 295 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 3: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 296 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 3: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 297 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 2: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 298 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 2: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 299 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 2: in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 300 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 2: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 301 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: XM Channel one twenty one. 302 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 3: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app. 303 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 3: Now with Applecarplay and Android auto interfaces. 304 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 2: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
