Speaker 1: I'm Charlie Pellett. More details now about fast moving developments

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: out of Turkey. Turkey's Prime minister now says a group

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: within Turkey's military has engaged in what appeared to be

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: an attempted coup. The prime minister telling NTV television quote,

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: it is correct that there was an attempt. He did

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: not provide details, but said quote, Turkey would never allow

10
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: any initiative that would interrupt democracy. Earlier, military jets were

11
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: heard flying over the capital of Ankara. Media reports said

12
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: ambulances were seen in front of Turkey's military headquarters. So

13
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: certainly a fluid situation. Stay with Bloomberg for the latest developments.

Speaker 1: I'm Charlie Pellett. That's a Bloomberg Business flash. You're listening

24
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: to taking stock with Pim Box and Kathleen Hayes on

25
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:35,279
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Radio. Governor Mike Pence of Indiana Well. Donald Trump

26
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: acknowledged via Twitter today that Indiana Governor Mike Pence will

27
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: be his running mate for more. I want to bring

28
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: in Mark Niquette. He is national government reporter for Bloomberg

29
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: News and he joins us from Columbus, Ohio. Mark, thanks

30
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: very much for spending time with us, tell us a

31
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: little bit about Governor Pence and give us a preview

32
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: of the Republican National Convention. Sure Pence has been governor

33
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: in Indiana since two thousand thirteen. He's in his first term.

34
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: He actually was up for re election this year and

35
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: had to back out of his re election campaign to

36
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: accept the running mate spot with Mr. Trump. Um He's

37
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: served in Congress for twelve years before that. He's a

38
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: former radio talk show host and very popular with the

39
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: conservatives and evangelicals. Um, it's been sort of his his history,

40
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: and I think one of the reasons that Trump decided

41
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: to name him to the ticket because he does have

42
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: an appeal to that part of the Republican base that

43
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: uh Trump could use, or at least has not as strong.

44
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: And uh it's something we're gonna be watching too for

45
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: the convention in terms of how effective adding Trump to

46
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: the ticket will be helping to unify the party that

47
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: hasn't been all together behind Trump. We saw efforts in

48
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: the committees that were held this week in advance of

49
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: the convention, the Platform Committee and the Rules Committee, UM,

50
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: where there were efforts to try and stop Trump from

51
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: getting the nomination. Those mostly fizzled, and it looks like

52
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: Trump's going to be um okay in terms of getting

53
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: the nomination when the convention actually starts on Monday. But

54
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: adding Trump adding Pence to the ticket, I think it

55
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: is partly an attempt to bring the party more together

56
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: coming out of the convention headed into the general election.

57
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: Is the selection of Mike Pence also a nod to

58
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: the reality of raising money because doesn't Mike Pence have

59
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: ties to the Koch brothers and other influential donors he does.

60
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: In fact, his largest contributor when he was in congress

61
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: first congressional campaigns was the Club for Growth UM and

62
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: this is a group that hasn't been on the same

63
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: page with Trump. And in speaking to some delegates here

64
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: in Cleveland, Uh, before the convention, that's one of the

65
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: things you'll hear that, you know, they hope Pence is

66
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: available to the ability to raise money could actually help

67
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: Trump also get some of these donors who've been on

68
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: the sidelines to contribute to the camp Pain. Yeah, I

69
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: know he's probably calling you right right now, Mark, Uh,

70
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: tell us about the speakers. What's planned. Because Pence had

71
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: endorsed Senator Ted Cruise over Trump before that the indianame

72
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: primary that that Trump went on to to win. What

73
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: is going to be Pence's role in trying to unify

74
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: the party. Well, again, he'll be very much reaching out

75
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: to the conservative wing of the party, evangelical voters, Uh,

76
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: folks who care a lot about social issues. These are folks,

77
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: they're they're not opposed to Trump, but they're somewhat wary

78
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: of of how committed Donald Trump is on issues like

79
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: abortion or some of the social causes. They're they're concerned

80
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: about and and Trump will have Pence excuse me, we'll

81
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: have a speaking role at the convention. UH, typically it's

82
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: on the Wednesday night before the Thursday when Trump will

83
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: actually formally accept the nomination. But you're right, we've also

84
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: seen that, UM, a lot of prominent rep Pulicans have

85
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: declined to accept speaking roles or even attend the convention altogether.

86
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: The two former president Bushes have have decided not to

87
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: come here. UM. Ohio Governor John Kasik necessari of convention

88
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: in his home state. UM. He has not endorsed Donald

89
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: Trump and has decided that he's not going to speak

90
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: at the convention either. In fact, he said he might

91
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: not even go in inside. So part of the speaking

92
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: line up would be a little different than what we've

93
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: seen in past conventions with sort of the predictable lineup

94
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: of Republican notables. But he'll still have plenty of UM

95
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: prominent Republicans speaking. Paul Ryan, how speaker is going to talk,

96
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: Scott Ron Scott Walker, the Wisconsin governor who also ran

97
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: for president, will we'll be speaking one night. And Ted

98
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: Cruz has also said he's going to speak. Also scheduled

99
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: to speak I believe is Peter Thiel, the billionaire Silicon

100
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: Valley entrepreneur. Yeah, and we'll be interested to see how

101
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: what he says. And the other thing we're kind of

102
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: watching for and this this convention is Donald Trump sort

103
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: of promised a show or at least to have more

104
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: entertainment feel to the convention. Um. You know, obviously Donald

105
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: Trump has the background with the Apprentice and reality TV,

106
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: and I think, you know, the expectation is you'll put

107
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: his own touch on you know what can be sort

108
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: of a you know, certainly traditional but state kind of

109
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: uh experience and and and maybe they'll jazz it up

110
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: a bit, uh to have a little more entertainment value.

111
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: And they're going to be several nights obviously, and the

112
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: second night apparently is the supposed to emphasize the economy, right,

113
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: and and that's common there's there's usually a theme to

114
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: each night of the convention, and all the speakers who

115
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: get up sort of reinforced the theme that the party

116
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: is trying to um emphasize. And you know, of course

117
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: you will hear a lot of uh talk about Hillary

118
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: Clinton and and how batchy is for the economy. And

119
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: that night and you know how much better Trump would

120
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: be for for the country. Um, you know, sort of

121
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: the role of the convention to it's sort of the

122
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: you know, launching point for the candidate heading into the

123
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: general election. Thank you very much for spending time with us.

124

Speaker 1: site of the Republican National Convention. Just to bring you

127
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: up to date on developments and Turkey. Elements of the

128

Speaker 1: of Turkey's army have attempted to seize power in the country.

129
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: This according to the Prime Minister Binali il dirum Uh,

130
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: the effort won't be permitted to succeed, he told NTV television,

131
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: and his comments came as local media reported gunfire and

132
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: Ankara and warplanes circling over the Turkish capital. This is

133
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: taking stock. I'm pim Fox and this is Bloomberg coming

134
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: up Bloomberg Law, discussing Microsoft's victory over the US government

135

Speaker 1: after an appeals court rule that Microsoft won't have to

136
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: turn over a series of emails connected to an investigation

137
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: into a suspected drug trafficker.
