Speaker 1: to the invest about twenty five million that the city

43
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: has invested with Wells Fargo after um after the scandal

44
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: came out. Basically, well Fargo is admitted to opening potentially

45
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: millions of bogus client accounts, and Treasure Summers here in

46
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: Chicago has said Chicago deserves better, and so his office,

47
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: which manages the city seven billion dollar invest in portfolio,

48
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: is planning to unwind these twenty five million of assets

49
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: is as quickly as possible in a way that would

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: be you know, protect taxpayers, according to Treasure Summers, and

51
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: in a way that's prudent. So and that that's the

52
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: news here, Elizabeth. Uh, you're The story also says that

53
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: he wrote that Illinois won't be using Wells Fargo on

54
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: any new bond sales until further notice. So is is

55
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: a temporary unwinding if Wells Fargo makes amends, well commenced again.

56
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 1: What we're you supposed to take away from this? Well, Yeah,

57
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: Governor Rouners office told us that the Wells Fargo won't

58
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: be on any new bond sales until further notice. They're

59
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: not part of the deal that Illinois expected to price

60
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: next week. Technically, Governor Rounders administration hasn't done any bond

61
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: business with the bank. Um, we'll see if this spreads

62
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: beyond just the state of Illinois. Chicago actually maybe be

63
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: taking you further steps to several relations with falls Fargo.

64
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: That the chair of the City's Finance Committee, UM, the

65
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: City Council's Finance Committee, Alderman Edward Edward Burke Um, he

66
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: actually introduced a measure on Friday that would bar Chicago

67
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: from doing any business of Falls Fargo, including bond deals.

68
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: And so that plan is going to be taken up

69
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: tomorrow in the m City Council Finance Committee, meaning this Wednesday. Elizabeth,

70
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: do you believe that any of this is the result

71
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: of seeing John Stunt, that chief executive a Wells Fargo,

72
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: appear before congressional leaders, You know, I do. It seems

73
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: like this pullback from these state and city treasures is

74
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: coming as the pressure is building on the bank. I mean,

75
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, CEO Strump just testified there's more pressure

76
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: on him and perhaps even the bank's board to resign

77
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: because of this fake account tobaccle. You know, and while

78
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: he told lawmakers and patal Congress that the bank was

79
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: working to help customers, they were deeply sorry that they

80
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: broke their trust. You know, it seems like these treasures,

81
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: including those here from the city of Chicago and for

82
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: the state of Illinois, aren't waiting around um for any amens.

83
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Campbell, thank you so very much for joining us

Speaker 1: in Chicago. Her breaking news story out about the Chicago

86
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: Treasury investing twenty five million dollars of investments from Wells

87

Speaker 1: Fargo can atulations. Elizabeth, Well, let's move on to the

88
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: big event tonight, the vice presidential debates Democrat Tim Kaine

89
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: Republican Mike Pence. To politicians and their late fifties, each

90
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: with subernatorial and congressional experience, set to face off for

91
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: ninety minutes at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia. Very happy

92
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: now to welcome us a government reporter for Bloomberg News

93
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: to lou Olarudnipa to tell us about the debate and

94
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: what these two face so to Uh, how much is

95
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: at stake? How much device presidents ever make when it

96
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: comes to who gets elected to be president United States? Yeah,

97
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: that's a that's a great question. And historically we haven't

98
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: seen a very big impact by vice presidential debates on

99
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: polls in presidential races. But this is a race that's

100
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: unlike any of the race that we've seen in in

101
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: recent history. So there are going to be a lot

102
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,119
Speaker 1: of eyeballs on this on this debate, and the goal

103
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: for each candidate is to sort support and boost their

104
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: their running mate. And this is a time where Donald

105
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 1: Trump has had a pretty tough week after last week's debate,

106
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: He's kind of struggled in the news. Headlines have not

107
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: been in his favor, everything from uh, negative news about

108
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 1: Trump University too, about negative news about his taxes tax

109
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: returns that it were leaked to the New York Times,

110
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: to his ongoing fight with the Miss Universe from twenty

111
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: years ago. So it's the goal of my tens is

112
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: going to be to change that narrative and to boost

113
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: Trump at a time when a lot of his supporters

114
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: are are worrying about the outcome of this election. So, Lou,

115
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: you're in Farmville, Virginia, right, That's right, Okay, And maybe

116
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: just tell people a little bit about Farmville. It's near

117
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: the Appomattox River, and um the sort of formats for

118
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: the debate because you know where their hell can have

119
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: an effect on how their hell can have an effect

120
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: on the debate itself. That's true. Farmville is a relatively

121
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: small town. It's about an hour away from Richmond, in

122
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: about three arch from Washington, d C. It's in UH

123
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: Governor Tim Kaine, now Senator Tim Kaine's backyard. This is

124
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: his home state. And UH it's the debate's gonna be

125
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: held at a university UH school here, and it's going

126
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: to be a traditional style debate. As a moderator, UH

127
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: and UH they're both going to be asked questions and

128
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: they're going to have uh plenty of time to answer.

129
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: It's going to be a ninety minute debate only to

130
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: UH two candidates answering, So they'll have a lot of

131
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: time to delve into policy issues and really dig deep

132
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: into the plans that their running mates have for the country, Um,

133
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: and it's going to be an opportunity for both candidates

134
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: to really introduce themselves to the world stage because, uh,

135
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know these vice president vice

136
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: presidential candidates. So totally one of our Booberg news stories

137
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: UM does lays out six things we need to know

138
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: before the showdown. Let's femail how many we can get through.

139
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: First of all, who faces the bigger test and why

140
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: in these debates tonight? I would say the bigger test

141
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: is probably for Pence. He has to change the narrative

142
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: for his his running mate, Donald Trump, who's behind in

143
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: the polls, and the narrative right now is that he's

144
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: losing and he's struggling, and he's been a little bit erratic.

145
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: So if he needs to have a steady hand and

146
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: really changed the narrative. And that's a very really difficult

147
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: test for Kane. He just kind of has to keep

148
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: things going the way they are and and boost his candidate,

149
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: which is Hillary Clinton, who seems to be doing pretty

150
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: well in the polls right now. Go ahead, preparation. Uh yeah,

151
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: we famously saw last week that Donald Trump didn't do

152
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: a lot of preparation, So I assume that his running

153
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: mate is going to do a lot more. It's going

154
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: to have done a lot more preparation for this debate,

155
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: and they're both very well versed in policy, as you know,

156
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: governors and uh, people with congressional experience. So I don't

157
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: think that either will have trouble being prepared at this

158
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: debate tonight. Nice guys, canna finish last. Yeah, they're both

159
00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: seen as as nice, nice people, as a very very

160
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: cordial and we're not expecting them to be calling each

161
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: other names or interrupting each other the way that Donald

162
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: Trump and Hillary Clinton did uh last week. So it'll

163
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they country response to that

164
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: type of cordial debate. Very different from what we've seen

165
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: this year in a very wild presidential season. According to

166
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: a recent Fox News poll, nearly one third of likely

167
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: voters have no opinion of either Kane or Pence. Is

168
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: that unusual? It's a been unusual. These are two vice

169
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: presidential candidates that did not run for presidents, so a

170
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: lot of people don't know who they are. Often you

171
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: see presidential picks choosing their their picks based on people

172
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: they ran again, so people who have a national following

173
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: and that's something that these two candidates don't have. And

174
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 1: this is probably gonna be the biggest political state that

175
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: either has ever been on. So that's that's gonna be

176
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 1: an opportunity for people to reach a conclusion about how

177
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: they feel about each candidate. Were already talked about how

178
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: the four that will encourage the actual debate, but tell

179
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: us about how much the records of these two vice

180
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: presidential candidates will be scrutinized. Uh Yeah, this will be

181
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: an opportunity to really dig into their records because there

182
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: are places where uh, their their records differ from their

183
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: running mates. Uh. We can think about Governor Pence and

184
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: the fact that he voted for the Iraq War, something

185
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump says that he was against him that

186
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: he says with a disastrous vote by all who are

187
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: in Congress. We can look at Kane and the fact

188
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: that he had somewhat different views on abortion uh as

189
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: as Secretary Clinton. So this will be an opportunity for

190
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: them to explain their own uh political records and defend

191
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: their their running mate on issues where they have some differences.

192
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: I want to thank you very much to lou on
