Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio News. Good morning, I'm Nathan
Speaker 1: Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're
Speaker 1: following today.
Speaker 2: Karen, we begin once again in Chicago after nine three
Speaker 2: of the Democratic National Convention. The evening included speeches from
Speaker 2: rising stars like Transportation Secretary Pete Boodage and Maryland Governor
Speaker 2: Wes Moore, along with party stalwarts like former President Bill Clinton.
Speaker 2: But the main event was Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz. He
Speaker 2: used his acceptance speech as the Democrats vice presidential nominee
Speaker 2: to appeal to swing state voters.
Speaker 3: I represented my neighbors in Congress for twelve years, and.
Speaker 4: I learned an awful lot.
Speaker 2: I learned how to work.
Speaker 3: Across the aisle on issues like growing the rural economies
Speaker 3: and taking care of veterans. And I learned how to
Speaker 3: compromise without compromising my values.
Speaker 2: Wal It's also lobbed attacks at Republican Donald Trump and
Speaker 2: his running mate JD. Vance, linking them to the controversial
Speaker 2: Project twenty twenty five initiative.
Speaker 3: Some folks just don't understand what it takes to be
Speaker 3: a good neighbor. Take Donald Trump and JD. Vance their
Speaker 3: Project twenty twenty five will make things much much harder
Speaker 3: for people who are just trying to live their lives.
Speaker 2: Governor Waltz also praised Vice President Kamala Harris's policy proposals,
Speaker 2: saying they will help the middle class. Republicans have seized
Speaker 2: on the idea that Harris's running mate overstated elements of
Speaker 2: his record while in the National Guard and Nathan.
Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris will close out the convention tonight
Speaker 1: with her acceptance speech as Poles continue to show a
Speaker 1: tight race with Donald Trump. Bloomberg Balance of Power host
Speaker 1: Joe Matthew is in Chicago for the DNC. He has
Speaker 1: more on what to expect from Harris tonight.
Speaker 4: It's going to be an opportunity to stop the clock
Speaker 4: essentially to talk to the delegates in the room and
Speaker 4: people more importantly watching this from their living rooms, to
Speaker 4: get to the matter of trust on issues like the economy,
Speaker 4: like dealing with the border, and some of the other
Speaker 4: issues that have dogged her.
Speaker 1: Bloomberg's Joe Matthews says Kamala Harris will also focus on
Speaker 1: her life story, and you can catch Joe along with
Speaker 1: the Bloomberg's Kaylee lines from the DNC tonight on a
Speaker 1: special edition of Balance of Power starting at eight pm
Speaker 1: Wall Street Time on Bloomberg Radio and Television.
Speaker 3: Well Karen.
Speaker 2: On day three of the DNC, New York City Mayor
Speaker 2: Eric Adams joined Bloomberg for a conversation about the race
Speaker 2: and why he didn't get a chance to speak at
Speaker 2: the convention.
Speaker 5: The goal is not to get Eric Adams on the stage.
Speaker 5: The goal is to get VP Harris and the team elected,
Speaker 5: and they're putting together the right speakers and we're just
Speaker 5: going to find out what is our role and we're
Speaker 5: going to carry the ball based on that.
Speaker 2: New York City Mayor Eric Adams added that public safety
Speaker 2: will be a crucial message for Democrats in the campaign.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Nathan, former President Donald Trump was campaigning at North
Speaker 1: Carolina yesterday and he told his supporters it's hard to
Speaker 1: talk policy when the Obamas are at him at the DNC,
Speaker 1: Bloomberg said, Baxter has that story.
Speaker 6: Trump and a rally in North Carolina says he'd like
Speaker 6: to focus on policy because his advisors told him it's
Speaker 6: the right thing to do. But he complained to the crowd,
Speaker 6: did you see Barack Obama taking potshots that you're president,
Speaker 6: and so was Michelle. So he asked the attendee, should
Speaker 6: I get personal or should I not get personal? The
Speaker 6: crowd liked him going on attack.
Speaker 2: Now, try and be.
Speaker 5: Nice to people, you know, but it's a little tough
Speaker 5: when they get personal.
Speaker 6: The Obama attacks were aimed at focusing on the way
Speaker 6: Trump attacks his opponents with name calling. Poles have tightened
Speaker 6: in North Carolina at Baxter Bloomberg Radio, all right, ed,
Speaker 6: thank you.
Speaker 2: We have one more note on the twenty twenty four race.
Speaker 2: Reports indicate Independent Robert F. Kennedy Junior is expected to
Speaker 2: end his presidential campaign this week. He plans to give
Speaker 2: a speech about his future tomorrow from Phoenix. It comes
Speaker 2: after Kennedy's running mate suggested that he could potentially endorse
Speaker 2: Donald Trump well Nathan. Turning now to the war in
Speaker 2: the Middle East. After Secretary of State Antony Blanken left
Speaker 2: the region Tuesday without a ceasefire deal, the White House
Speaker 2: said both President Biden and Vice President Harris spoke with
Speaker 2: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday. The White House says
Speaker 2: Biden stress the urgency to strike a deal with Commas
Speaker 2: on a ceasefire and hostage release and discussed upcoming talks
Speaker 2: in Cairo to remove any remaining obstacles. Turned out to
Speaker 2: the Economy Karen, a lot of investors focused in on
Speaker 2: Jay Powell's much anticipated speech tomorrow from Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Speaker 2: The FED chair's comments will come after yesterday's FED minutes
Speaker 2: from the July meeting. Bloomberg's Michael McKee is in Jackson Hole.
Speaker 2: He says the minutes revealed many FED officials saw the
Speaker 2: case for cuts at that July meeting.
Speaker 7: They all decided that maybe because Jay, Paula and the
Speaker 7: majority were saying, don't cut now, we will wait. But
Speaker 7: they do say in the minutes that the latest data
Speaker 7: they had gotten gave them more confidence that they were
Speaker 7: going to be moving down to the two percent level
Speaker 7: and it would be soon appropriate to move rates.
Speaker 2: Bloomberg's Mike mckea. Some FED officials also saw a risk
Speaker 2: of more serious labor market deterioration. Catch a special edition
Speaker 2: of Bloomberg Surveillance Live from Jackson Hole tomorrow starting at
Speaker 2: nine am Eastern on Bloomberg Radio and Television.
Speaker 1: And Nathan Trader's got some insight on radcuts from one
Speaker 1: FED official yesterday. Atlanta FED President Raphael Bostik joined other
Speaker 1: policymakers in signaling caution before proceeding with radcuts. Bostig said
Speaker 1: he's looking for a little more data before supporting a
Speaker 1: reduction in interest rates, adding that he wants to be
Speaker 1: absolutely sure inflation's contained.
Speaker 2: Now to a few company notes, Karen first to the
Speaker 2: latest on the bidding for Paramount Global, sources tell Bloomberg News.
Speaker 2: Edgar Bronfman Junior has raised his offer to take over
Speaker 2: the media company to six billion dollars atop's a four
Speaker 2: point three billion dollar bid he made just three days ago.
Speaker 2: The move could upset Paramount's plan to merge with Skydance Media,
Speaker 2: led by David Ellison. That deal included a forty five
Speaker 2: day period in which Paramount can review other offers. Broadfin
Speaker 2: is a media executive and the heir to this Seagram's
Speaker 2: Spirits fortune. He's reportedly expected to argue that his proposal
Speaker 2: will result in less solution for Paramount's non Redstone shareholders.
Speaker 1: Well Nathan Walt Disney has named former Morgan Stanley CEO
Speaker 1: James Gorman to lead the search for a successor to
Speaker 1: CEO Bob Iger and Bloomberg's Chris Palm Mary says the
Speaker 1: search is on.
Speaker 8: They have said they're looking at internal n external candidates,
Speaker 8: but commncial wisdom is just a handful of senior Disney
Speaker 8: executives who are in the running. Companies widely anticipated to
Speaker 8: name somebody either a president or a COO next year
Speaker 8: who will be the air parent and.
Speaker 1: As Bloomberg's Chris Paul Mary, who says, it'll be a
Speaker 1: tough role to fill since Disney has so many facets
Speaker 1: to his business. Gorman joined Disney's board this year and
Speaker 1: oversaw a succession at Morgan Stanley, where he continues to
Speaker 1: serve as executive chairman.
Speaker 2: Well, Karen, someone new is going to have to fill
Speaker 2: the role leading Apple's app store, sources tell Bloomberg News
Speaker 2: Matt Fisher is leaving the iPhone maker in October. Fisher's
Speaker 2: run the app store since twenty ten. It's been under
Speaker 2: regulatory pressure. Lawmakers say Apple's app store wields too much
Speaker 2: power in the mobile software market.
Speaker 1: And finally, Nathan Shares a Snowflake plunged eighteen percent yesterday
Speaker 1: for their biggest declines as the company went public in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. The software developer delivered disappointing sales forecast and
Speaker 1: Annow CEO Frank Slutman is stepping down. Bloomberg Intelligence says
Speaker 1: Snowflake's AI plan remains unclear and checking shares this morning,
Speaker 1: they're down eight percent.

Speaker 1: making news in New York and around the world, and
Speaker 1: for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Michael Barr Michael, Good morning, Good.
Speaker 9: Morning, Karen. Powerful New York Area politicians spoke at day
Speaker 9: three of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. House Democratic
Speaker 9: Leader Hakim Jeffries called on the crowd to make Kamala
Speaker 9: Harris the forty seventh president of the United States. Jeffries
Speaker 9: also went after Donald Trump. Donald Trump is like an
Speaker 9: old boyfriend who you broke up with, but he just
Speaker 9: won't go away. He has spent the last four years
Speaker 9: spinning the block. Also speaking at the convention, New Jersey
Speaker 9: Senator Corey Booker. Booker is one of many lawmakers who
Speaker 9: are paying tribute to longtime Congressman Bill Pascrell of New Jersey,
Speaker 9: who died yesterday.
Speaker 10: He never forgot where he came from in Patterson, and
Speaker 10: he never stopped fighting. He could push some pacaderms he
Speaker 10: fought for the people.
Speaker 9: Pass Grell had recently been hospitalized for respiratory infection and fever,
Speaker 9: and was again hospitalized earlier this month. In a post
Speaker 9: on x, his office said he is now at peace
Speaker 9: after a lifetime devoted to our great nation of America.
Speaker 9: Bill Pascrell, a senior Democratic member of the powerful House
Speaker 9: Ways and Means Committee, was eighty seven. A state appeals
Speaker 9: court is being asked by New York State's attorney general
Speaker 9: to uphold the lower court decision that former President Trump,
Speaker 9: his adult sons, and company should pay nearly a half
Speaker 9: a billion dollars for a business fraud. The Manhattan judge
Speaker 9: found that the Trumps are liable for inflating the former
Speaker 9: president's net worth by as much as over two billion
Speaker 9: dollars and misrepresented values of assets. Trump lawyers argue that
Speaker 9: prosecutors misapplied the law. Authorities are looking for the woman
Speaker 9: who jumped a fence at a New Jersey zoo and
Speaker 9: stuck her hand into the tiger enclosure. It was all
Speaker 9: caught on video. Zoo keeper Averymneer says one of the
Speaker 9: two Bengal tigers in that cage reacted to the woman
Speaker 9: she taunted the animal.
Speaker 11: I can also see his paw go up and him
Speaker 11: go after her, and he was very agitated that she
Speaker 11: was on the other side of the fence and he
Speaker 11: could not.
Speaker 12: Get to her.
Speaker 9: Police posted the video on social media in hopes of
Speaker 9: finding the woman. Global News twenty four hours a day
Speaker 9: and whenever you want it with Bloomberg News Now Michael Barr,
Speaker 9: and this is Bloomberg Kron.
Speaker 1: All right, Michael Barr, thank you time now for the
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Sports Update with John Stashauer.
Speaker 13: John, good morning, Good morning, Careen. The Yankees offense has
Speaker 13: been so often this year like they're a two man team.
Speaker 13: That's never been more on display than last night at
Speaker 13: the stadium. Juan Soto two run home on the first inning,
Speaker 13: Aaron Judge two run shot of the third, Soto and
Speaker 13: inning later with a check swing opposite field three run double,
Speaker 13: and then in the seventh another Judge home run. Together
Speaker 13: they drove in all eight runs in an eight to
Speaker 13: one rout of Cleveland. Soto now has thirty six homers,
Speaker 13: Judge has forty seven. He's hit six in the last
Speaker 13: nine games, twelve in the last twenty three is on
Speaker 13: pace to hit sixty. Nester Cortes seven scoreless innings. The
Speaker 13: series ends this afternoon in the Bronx. Earlier at Cityfield,
Speaker 13: Mets and Orioles three to three, bottom of the ninth
Speaker 13: with Jesse Winker up as a pinch hitter.
Speaker 12: Swing on a high fly ball well hit left center.
Speaker 12: Moments going back to the track, it's a wall Bit's
Speaker 12: Tom put it the buck. The Bets win it again
Speaker 12: against the Vegas, and only now this Waker, after firing
Speaker 12: down his helmet and benning gloves, step on first base
Speaker 12: and start his triumph intar around the basis.
Speaker 13: On WCBS. The Mets had also won four to three
Speaker 13: Monday night, and that was on a walk off ninth
Speaker 13: inning homer by Francisco Alvarez, also off of Baltimore's Sir
Speaker 13: Anthony Dominguez. The Mets win helps the Yankees. They move
Speaker 13: back ahead of Baltimore. The two teams continue to flip
Speaker 13: flop atop the Al East. Atlanta lost of the Phillies
Speaker 13: three to two, the Mets within a game and a
Speaker 13: half of the Braves. Mets begin a ten game road
Speaker 13: trip tonight in San Diego. Red Sox won four to
Speaker 13: one at Houston. Nationals beat Colorado six to one. The
Speaker 13: Denver Broncos named rookie bo Nicks is their Week one
Speaker 13: starting quarterback. Twelfth pick of the draft, there was only
Speaker 13: the sixth QB taken. He'll become the fourteenth different starting
Speaker 13: QB for the Broncos since Peyton Manning retired. NBA Hall
Speaker 13: of Famer Al Addams has passed away at eighty seven.
Speaker 13: He played for the Warriors. He coached him to an
Speaker 13: NBA championship, then became their general manager. Adams spent sixty
Speaker 13: years with the US organization JOHNS.
Speaker 8: Dashley.
Speaker 2: We're Bloomberg Sports. Can I render Nathan.
Speaker 6: Coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius XM,
Speaker 6: and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the
Speaker 6: Bloomberg Business app.
Speaker 2: This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. Minnesota
Speaker 2: Governor Tim Waltz made a play for the undecided on
Speaker 2: Night three of the Democratic National Convention.
Speaker 3: We're all here tonight for one beautiful, simple reason.
Speaker 2: We love this country. Tim Waltz leaned into his record
Speaker 2: as a veteran and a former high school football coach
Speaker 2: as he introduced himself to the nation and accepted his
Speaker 2: party's nomination to be vice president. For more. We are
Speaker 2: joined now by Bloomberg News senior writer Stephanie Baker. Stephanie,
Speaker 2: Good morning. A lot of talk about neighborliness, a lot
Speaker 2: to talk about reaching out, quite a different tone from
Speaker 2: I guess what we heard from the Obamas, perhaps the
Speaker 2: night before last, good morning, good morning.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I mean Governor Waltz's you know, speech was really strong.
Speaker 11: I think, you know, really it was his opportunity to
Speaker 11: introduce himself to the nation, and he really leaned into
Speaker 11: his coach Walls persona, you know, using that football metaphor
Speaker 11: that I think if anyone else tried to use would
Speaker 11: seem a bit corny, sort of saying, you know, we're
Speaker 11: on the offense and we've got the ball and driving
Speaker 11: down the field, you know. And he really emphasized what
Speaker 11: Harris administration would do for the middle class, cutting taxes,
Speaker 11: trying to make a housing more affordable.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 11: I think it's incredible how he's managed to become such
Speaker 11: an accomplished public speaker reading off a teleprompter when a
Speaker 11: few weeks ago he'd never done any such thing.
Speaker 2: Interesting to hear a lot of that kind of talk
Speaker 2: reaching out more to kind of a rural voter that
Speaker 2: many had even leaned toward Republicans in the past. Could
Speaker 2: it be by design that they're sort of trying to
Speaker 2: take that message of freedom and neighborliness and turn it
Speaker 2: on its head against Republicans.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean they're really trying to flip the script,
Speaker 11: you know, saying that that doubling down on this sort
Speaker 11: of idea that that less government is actually a democratic theme.
Speaker 11: So you know, this message of get out of our bedrooms,
Speaker 11: you know, don't tell us what to do, you know,
Speaker 11: in our doctor's offices. And I think that that is
Speaker 11: a very effective messaging for the kind of voters that
Speaker 11: Harris needs if she's going to win the presidency, the
Speaker 11: sort of swing voters that had traditionally gone to the
Speaker 11: Republican Party, you know, that voted for Obama in two
Speaker 11: thousand and eight and then voted for Trump in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 11: So I think that's a very calculated bet on their part,
Speaker 11: and that Walls will able to appeal to those white
Speaker 11: male voters that I think Harris is in fact struggling
Speaker 11: to win over.
Speaker 2: You do enough, do you think to rebut the Republican
Speaker 2: attack that we'd heard after he announced as Kamala Harris's
Speaker 2: running mate, that he's Bernie Sanderson, a hunting jacket.
Speaker 11: I think it's going to be really hard for the
Speaker 11: Republicans to paint him as some crazy left winger. He's
Speaker 11: too normal, you know, everything from his background as a
Speaker 11: teacher to a football coach. He's he's your classic kind
Speaker 11: of miss Midwestern dad. I think, you know, the speech
Speaker 11: last night was proof that that is going to be
Speaker 11: a very hard thing for the Republicans to do, to
Speaker 11: paint him as some you know, crazy guy who's out
Speaker 11: to you know, take the country back to you know,
Speaker 11: some other era. So I don't you know, I don't
Speaker 11: think that's going to work.
Speaker 2: So our last thirty second, Stephanie, how does this set
Speaker 2: us up for Kamala Harris's accept in speech tonight.
Speaker 8: It'll be really.
Speaker 11: Interesting to see, you know what, you know what she says.
Speaker 11: I think she's not going to she's not going to
Speaker 11: go into detail on policy, and I think that's been
Speaker 11: some of the criticism that they're at this point. They're
Speaker 11: very light on detail of what they're actually going to do.
Speaker 11: I think she's going to emphasize values. Uh, she's going
Speaker 11: to emphasize the theme of freedom, which has been, you know,
Speaker 11: central to her campaign message and I think has been
Speaker 11: very successful.
Speaker 6: Let's wait and see.
