WEBVTT - Donald Trump Found Guilty on All Counts

0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>This is the Bloomberg Daybreak Euroate podcast, available every morning

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:08.880
<v Speaker 1>on Apple, Spotify or wherever you listen. I'm Stephen Carroll.

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Coming up today. Donald Trump becomes the first former US

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>president to be convicted on criminal charges. Will tell you

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>what it means for November's election. Bloomberg learns that US

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 1>officials are slowing down exports of Nvidia's chips to the

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Middle East over national security concerns. Plus a new down

0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:31.200
<v Speaker 1>in South Africa. The ANC prepares for its first coalition

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>as vote counting continues, Let's start with a roundup of

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.920
<v Speaker 1>our top stories. Donald Trump has become the first former

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>US president to be convicted in a criminal trial. A

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>New York jury found him guilty on thirty four counts

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 1>of falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment

0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 1>to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Prosecutors said it was

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>a conspiracy that deprived voters of vital information before the

0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixteen election. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg spoke after

0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the verdict. I did my job.

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Our job is to filew the facts in the law

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 2>without fear of favor, and that's exactly what we did. Here,

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 2>and what I feel is gratitude.

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 3>To work alongside phenomenal public.

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 4>Servants who do that each and every day.

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 2>The only voice that matters is the voice of the jury,

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 2>and the jury has spoken.

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Alvin Bragg, Manhattan District Attorney, speaking there after the five

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>week trial that came in with a verdict five months

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.759
<v Speaker 1>before the US presidential election, Trump, who still faces three

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:37.320
<v Speaker 1>other criminal trials, is due to be sentenced on June eleventh.

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>On July eleventh, excuse me. Trump's conviction raises a number

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>of questions for this year's presidential race. The former president

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 1>would not be able to pardon himself if he were

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>re elected president, as this is a state charge. Speaking

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>after the verdict, Trump said, November's election result will be

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>the real test.

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 5>This was a Greig decision right from day one, with

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 5>a conflict. Judge, you should have never been allowed to

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 5>try this case. Never, and we will fight for our constitution.

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 5>This is launch from over.

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Thank you very much, Donald Trump speaking there. Few experts

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 1>are convinced that the trials results will have a significant

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>bearing on outcomes at the polls, given Trump has already

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 1>survived to impeachments and other scandals. Joe Biden's communications director

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>says the result shows nobody is no one is above

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the law. President Biden will allow Ukraine to use American

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>weapons against military targets inside a limited area of Russia.

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>The US president has given permission for strikes near the

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>northeast border area of Kharkiv. The advisor to Ukraine's Minister

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.359
<v Speaker 1>of Strategic Industries, Yuri Sak, made the case for their

0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>use to Bloomberg before the decision became public.

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 3>We're entitled to use whatever means we have to protect

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 3>our people. You know, if you look at the map,

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 3>if you consider, you know how close these Russian troops

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 3>are from khaki the second largest city in Ukraine, only

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 3>five kilometers from the border. So we see all these

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 3>amassed Russian troops, these terrorists preparing their missiles, launching their

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 3>glide bombs.

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 1>The advisor to Ukraine's Minister of Strategic Industries, Uri sac

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>speaking there. Although longer range strikes with American munitions remain prohibited,

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>the decision marks a significant shift for Biden. His administration

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:25.360
<v Speaker 1>has feared a potential escalation of the war. The United

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.760
<v Speaker 1>States is clamping down on how much artificial intelligence technology

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:30.919
<v Speaker 1>it sends to the Middle East. Bloomberg has learned that

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 1>chip makers such as Nvidia and AMD are having export

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>licenses for AI accelerators delayed. Bloomberg's ky Lines says American

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>officials are conducting a national security review.

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 6>Sending large scale shipments to the Middle East could be

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 6>a way for China to get around the restrictions that

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 6>the US has put into place and access these chips

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.520
<v Speaker 6>and data centers to develop their own technology, and that

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 6>technology getting into the hands of, say the Chinese military,

0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 6>is what the US is really looking to avoid.

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Line's ads. We don't know yet how long the review

0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>may take, but the slowdown has so far lasted weeks.

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Shares of Nvidia slipped after Bloomberg broke the news. A

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg survey shows economists they're pairing their expectations on how

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 1>far the European Central Bank will cut rates. They anticipate

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>six quarter point reductions this year, one step less than

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.600
<v Speaker 1>they had predicted before the Governing Council last set policy

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 1>in April. The news comes as federal reserve policy makers,

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>including the Bank of New York the Fed New York

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>President John Williams warned borrowing costs many to stay higher

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>for longer.

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.160
<v Speaker 2>The behavior of the economy of the past year provides

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:41.200
<v Speaker 2>ample evidence the Monte policy is restrictive in a way

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.640
<v Speaker 2>that helps achieve more goals. We're seeing clearer and consistent

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 2>signs of the imbalances between supply and demand in the

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 2>economy are receding, and we've seen a broad based decline

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>in inflation.

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.719
<v Speaker 1>New York Fed President John Williams made clear that he

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 1>was unable to confirm when he might support a rate

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:03.040
<v Speaker 1>cut because the decision will depend upon incoming economic data.

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Data out earlier Thursday showed the US economy grew at

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 1>a slower pace in the first quarter than had been

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:14.919
<v Speaker 1>initially reported. The Czech billionaire Daniel Kotinski says Royal Mail

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 1>needs investment to avoid going into a deadly spiral. The tycoon,

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.359
<v Speaker 1>who is aiming to buy the company told Bloomberg in

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.239
<v Speaker 1>an exclusive interview it needs urgent help.

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 7>Royal Mail is facing a very severe competition from from Amazon,

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.159
<v Speaker 7>from depe Day, from from every Newly, also in a

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 7>smaller scale, from from from Impossible parcel business is evolving quickly.

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 7>The competition is evolving, and Royal Mail needs to invest

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 7>massively to catch up. Bilility strengths, otherwise it will again

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 7>loose market share.

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Kotinsky adds that if his offer is rejected, Royal Mail

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>could struggle to stay afloat. His three point six billion

0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 1>pound takeover offer on the eve of the UK general

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 1>election looks set to provoke a struggle over the ownership

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 1>of Britain's postal service. South Africa's ruling ANC party is

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>set to lose its three decade grip on power as

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.360
<v Speaker 1>votes continue to be counted. With half of the ballots

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 1>count the African National Congress are predicted to win just

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 1>forty two percent of the vote. That would be that

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.120
<v Speaker 1>would force the ruling party into a coalition, which Bloomberg

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.599
<v Speaker 1>Jennifer Zabasaja says is unprecedented.

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 8>People are quite surprised and I think also a bit

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 8>unnerved because there is a lot of uncertainty about what

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 8>this could potentially look like, and especially if we think

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 8>about what the past few months of campaigning has been.

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 9>We have heard in particular.

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 8>From the ANC saying that they would not want to

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.360
<v Speaker 8>work with a party like the MK. But if these

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.840
<v Speaker 8>results continue to track and they are going to have

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 8>to partner up with one of their main rivals, what

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 8>does that look like in terms of governing, What does

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 8>that look like in terms of policies that are implemented,

0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 8>and also potential ministers.

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Jennifer's Abas adds a coalition talks are unlikely to get

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>away until final results come in during the weekend. Let's

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 1>bring you more on our top story now, and that

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:10.840
<v Speaker 1>first in US political history, a former president found guilty

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 1>on criminal charges. The New York jury found Donald Trump

0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 1>had committed thirty four counts of falsifying business records, a

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>verdict that could reshape the landscape for November's presidential election.

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Our Washington editor John Harney joins us for more. John,

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 1>great to have you with us this morning. Remind us

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.480
<v Speaker 1>what exactly was Trump found guilty of.

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 4>Well, the falsified business records that you just mentioned were,

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 4>according to the charges, intended to conceal payment to an

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 4>adult film performer, Dormy Daniels, who says that she had

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 4>a sexual relations with Trump back in two thousand and six.

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 4>He denies this account, but according to the product the prosecutors,

0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 4>these payments were intended to Silencer before the election to

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:05.120
<v Speaker 4>protect him from being embarrassed. In the weeks before the

0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.560
<v Speaker 4>November twenty sixteen election.

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 1>So what happens next in the legal process John.

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 4>Well next is a sentence seed, which will be on

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 4>July eleventh, and only then can his lawyers file on appeal,

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 4>as they almost certainly will. That appeals process could drag

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 4>out for a very long time, well past November election.

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:33.040
<v Speaker 4>It would go wind its way through state courts in

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.680
<v Speaker 4>New York State and then into the federal system and

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 4>perhaps all the way to the United States Supreme Court. Now,

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:44.560
<v Speaker 4>the sentencing could involve prison time, or convolve probation or

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 4>some sort of recognians until the appeals process plays out.

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 1>What does all of this mean for Donald Trump's election campaign?

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's something we are really in New territory here.

0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 4>Some voters have said that some both who would otherwise

0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.079
<v Speaker 4>be disposed of a bot but Trump said they'd be

0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 4>less likely to do so were he convicted. Others have

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 4>said that they would stick with him no matter what,

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.680
<v Speaker 4>but that this was all until today or until Thursday,

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 4>that was all hypothetical. This verdict hadn't been delivered yet,

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 4>and so resoundedly went all through with thirty four guilty counts.

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 1>What does what have we rather heard from the Biden

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:31.760
<v Speaker 1>administration Joe Biden's re election campaign about how they're viewing

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:32.480
<v Speaker 1>this verdict.

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, they thus far not very much. Just the statement

0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:43.520
<v Speaker 4>saying that no one about the law and must be respected.

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:49.440
<v Speaker 4>It is not really played into campaign advertising that sort

0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 4>of thing, but it likely will. It's an issue that

0:09:53.200 --> 0:10:00.199
<v Speaker 4>assured of Biden campaign does not want to be forgot

0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 4>by voters.

0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 1>John Today's Bloomberg Big Take report is looking at the

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:09.679
<v Speaker 1>Wall Street billionaires that are supporting Donald Trump in this campaign.

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Will they stick with him now after this verdict?

0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.320
<v Speaker 4>Dumb Well, no doubt. But you know, again they were

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:21.480
<v Speaker 4>saying that Rick be damned or as one of them

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 4>pointed again before the verdict was delivered. On the other hand,

0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:31.199
<v Speaker 4>they have confidence in Trump's policies regarding regulation and perhaps

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 4>taxation of those who haven't really been made completely clear

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 4>at this point. But others you know, who are still

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 4>on the sidelines might stay there. We really don't know,

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 4>but I will say that you know, both candidates Trump

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:51.679
<v Speaker 4>and Joe Biden are there's no unknowns here. You know,

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 4>vote This is an election where you're not voting for

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 4>somebody who's not that clear to you. You don't have

0:10:58.440 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 4>a strong.

0:10:58.760 --> 0:11:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Impression of I'll just give us a sense of the

0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.440
<v Speaker 1>significance of this moment in this campaign. As you've been

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:07.400
<v Speaker 1>laying out for us, it's been set up to be

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 1>a rematch between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, which, as

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 1>you've said, is to some sense a known scenario, given

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 1>that it would be a repeat of the last election campaign.

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Is this going to be a moment? Does this look

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 1>like a moment that will change significantly how this campaign

0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 1>rolls out?

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 4>Many political observers pundits say it will not, because again,

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 4>people are pretty much not necessarily, not necessarily made up

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 4>their minds abou how they're going to vote, but know

0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 4>very well who Donald Trump is, who Joe Biden is.

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:50.160
<v Speaker 4>And as you said earlier, Trump has survived to impeachments,

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:55.479
<v Speaker 4>the January sixth insurrection and the aftermath of that, indictments

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.840
<v Speaker 4>in these other cases which are unlikely to come to trial. However,

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 4>it's also a remarkable, unprecedented moment in American history. Something

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 4>like this has never happened before. With Richard Nixon, who

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 4>faced potential charges back in the days of the water

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 4>Gate scandal forty forty years ago, he resigned before impeachment

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 4>could take place, and then he was pardoned by Gerald

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 4>Ford of course, so the outcome that never had an

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 4>outcome and court like this.

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, I'm making this a very even more interesting

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 1>presidential election campaign. John Harney in Washington, thank you for

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 1>joining us. That's good to South Africa now, where voting

0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:41.680
<v Speaker 1>continues after the elections protections show the Africa National Congress

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.960
<v Speaker 1>appears to have lost its majority for the first time

0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 1>since the end of A Part eight. Our Africa correspondent

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:50.079
<v Speaker 1>Jennifer's Abasaja joins us now for more at Jennifer, Good morning.

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 1>What is the latest we have in results and where

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.040
<v Speaker 1>is this looking to leave the ANC.

0:12:57.200 --> 0:12:59.679
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, good morning to you, Stephen. I'm actually at the

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 9>election results center here in Midran and you know the

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 9>latest from what we are seeing and there is just

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 9>about fifty one percent of the vote that had been

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 9>counted and it is looking like for the first time

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.079
<v Speaker 9>in thirty years, the ruling party to A and C

0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 9>is not going to be in the majority. And this

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:24.360
<v Speaker 9>is significant for a few reasons. First of all, you know,

0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 9>it's the fact that the ANC could potentially lose support

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 9>by a wider margin than many polls were suggesting. Going

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:37.840
<v Speaker 9>into this election, and also it's telling to see who

0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 9>is really you know, tracking just behind them. So we

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:46.640
<v Speaker 9>have the Democratic Alliance, the main opposition party, doing quite

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:49.760
<v Speaker 9>well while doing you know, with about twenty percent support,

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:53.760
<v Speaker 9>but then also former President Jacob Zuma's newly formed party

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.520
<v Speaker 9>just six months old, tracking in third place behind the

0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:01.440
<v Speaker 9>African National Congress. And so we should note that you know,

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:06.040
<v Speaker 9>the AMC could potentially garner some more votes in how Tang,

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 9>which is the province that I am in, one of

0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.560
<v Speaker 9>the most populous provinces, but clearly looking like many of

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 9>the rural voters are you know, a bit frustrated with

0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 9>what they've seen with the AMC over the past few

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 9>years and voted that way.
