1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Vice President Kamala Harris just making history, accepting for the 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: first time as a woman of color, the Democratic nomination 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 1: for president. In a speech that ran almost forty minutes long. 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: She introduced herself as the child of an Indian and 5 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: Black American, as a former prosecutor as a senator, but 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: also took aim at her opponent Donald Trump several times, 7 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: at one point saying Donald Trump is in many ways 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: an unserious man, but saying the consequences of putting Donald 9 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 1: Trump back in the White House are extremely serious. Kamala 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: Harris asked Americans to consider what would happen if we 11 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 1: give him power again, as she made the case in 12 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: the United Center here in Chicago on this final night 13 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: of the Democratic Convention, Joe that they should put her 14 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: in power instead. 15 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 2: That's right, as we now see Kamala Harris on Bloomberg 16 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: TV with the second Gentleman, Doug M. Hoffspoke earlier this week, 17 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: standing by for the big balloon drop. Of course, Kaylee, 18 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: you're right, almost forty minutes at the podium and not 19 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: only a biographic cold tale here, but counterpunching on just 20 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: about every line of attack that we've heard from Donald 21 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: Trump and Republicans, aimed at Kamala Harris and her running 22 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 2: mate Tim Walls, also on the stage now as the 23 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: two couples get together here in showing the ticket that 24 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: has now become formalized in Chicago. She talked a lot 25 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 2: about Donald Trump, issue by issue, went through the border, 26 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: went through his character, went to Israel as well, where 27 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 2: she made some news, trying to appeal to both sides. 28 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 3: As they now wave to the crowd, Kaylee. 29 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 2: There are more than one hundred thousand red, white and 30 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: blue balloons that. 31 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 3: Are set to drop on these delegates tonight. 32 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: Which speaks to the festivities of the moment and again 33 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: historic moment that we are in and as we reflect 34 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: on the words we just heard from the Vice president 35 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 1: and Democratic nominee back with us now our political panel 36 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: Rick Davis, partner at Stoneport Capital and Jeanie Shanzano, Senior 37 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: Democracy Fellow with the Center for the Study of the 38 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: Presidency and Congress. And you obviously are still hearing people 39 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: going wild on the floor of the United Center, a 40 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: lot of energy in arena. As the balloons come down, 41 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: you can see them on This is not no no, indeed, 42 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: and we want to get thoughts now from Rick and Jeanie. Rick, you, 43 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: of course said that for much of this convention, over 44 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: the last several days, there hadn't been enough attacking Donald Trump. 45 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: She talked about him by an eight for most of 46 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: this speech. At one point she said, dictators are rooting 47 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: for Trump because they know Trump won't hold autocrats accountable 48 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: because he wants to be an autocrat himself. How did 49 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: she strike the balance to you of attacking Donald Trump 50 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: while also talking about herself. 51 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, look, I think this was a fair balance, right, 52 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 4: This was a sober speech. 53 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 3: Last night. We heard Oprah give a joyful speech. 54 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 4: This was sober night, and she definitely took it to 55 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 4: Donald Trump in a way. Frankly, no other person on 56 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 4: the stage and four nights did it. So I think 57 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 4: she sees this as a contest between Will's. She's ready 58 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 4: to take him on directly, and I would say she 59 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 4: took him on using his own words. She didn't quote 60 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 4: the twenty twenty five Project. She quoted Donald Trump over 61 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 4: and over again, deeming his positions unacceptable to the greater 62 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 4: part of America. 63 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: And Donald Trump was I won't say live tweeting, but 64 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: live posting on his truth social platform. Genie you had 65 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 2: your eyes I guess on the OPO or the counterprogramming 66 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 2: during this. But as the Democrat at the table, how 67 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: did this strike you tonight? The tone of the balance 68 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: between introducing herself biography and actual policy. 69 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it was fascinating because there was an 70 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 5: abrupt shift from the biography where she talked about her 71 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 5: mother passed away in two thousand and nine, never saw 72 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 5: her daughter achieve everything she has and how much of 73 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 5: an impact she had on her life, all the way 74 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 5: into this issue issue by issue that you were just 75 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 5: talking to Rick about attack on what she says Donald 76 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 5: Trump is going to do to this nation, and she 77 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 5: pivoted from the watchword of the election so far weird 78 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 5: to say they are simply out of their minds when 79 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 5: it comes to reproductive rights. One of the many things 80 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 5: that if you look at truth social, that really drove 81 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 5: Donald Trump mad, and he had a very extended screen 82 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 5: on Truth Social about. 83 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: That with Yeah, that's for sure. He's really busy tonight. 84 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: Com up like all of us watching this, let's jump 85 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: into the balloon drop right now with Bloomberg's and Marie 86 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: hor Dern, who is somewhere on that floor at the 87 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: convention and Marie, oh, oh, it's. 88 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 6: Absolutely electric on this floor. I just spoke to set it. 89 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 6: Majority Leader Chuck Schumer again following this speech, and he 90 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 6: said it was pitch perfect. I think one thing that's 91 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 6: very clear, Kamala Harris is able to come into this 92 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 6: race and close that gap. It's like a relief full 93 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 6: market rally at this convention. Remember this was really unthinkable 94 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 6: about a month ago. Looking through some of the policies though, 95 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 6: whether it was the economy, talk about the fact that 96 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 6: no one in the middle class will get a tax, race, 97 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 6: reproductive rights, foreign policy, or the border. Well, you see, 98 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 6: Kamala Harris do is picking and choosing from the Biden 99 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 6: Harris campaign and administration that she was part of. And 100 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 6: I think the next few weeks, as we go into 101 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 6: that debate on September tenth, she's really gonna ask and 102 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 6: asked some hard questions for voters to really understand what 103 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 6: differentiates her from Joe Biden. 104 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: All right, Bloomberg's and Marie Hordern on the floor, as 105 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: the balloons are bouncing around, thank you so much. Still 106 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: with us our political panel, Rick Davis and Jeanie Shanzano. 107 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: At this point, we can basically declare Rick, the convention 108 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: and the party over. Kamala Harris now has to do 109 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: this final stretch of seventy five days to actually win 110 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: this thing. Did she improve her aunts with the speech tonight? 111 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: Or is this race still just as tight as it 112 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: was before she took the podium. 113 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, in a divided country the way it is, 114 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 4: the race is going to be tight all the way 115 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 4: to the end. Right, no one is going to really 116 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 4: gain a decisive advantage between now and election day. I 117 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 4: would say the convention writ hole, I think has improved 118 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 4: her chances of coming out of here continuing to have 119 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 4: the momentum remembers. Came into the into the convention with 120 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 4: a great head of a momentum. She was able to 121 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 4: take on the mantle of the change candidate while being 122 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 4: the vice president of an unpopular administration, And so I 123 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 4: don't think she's lost a bit of that. She has 124 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 4: established this speech as a change speech, even though it 125 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 4: mimicked as and Marie said, almost every policy of the 126 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 4: Biden administration. 127 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 3: So right now she's getting away with it. We'll see 128 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 3: how long she can make that last. 129 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 2: Well, we've got another week here of summer that it's 130 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: on the Labor Day, Genie, and a presidential debate on 131 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 2: the tenth of September. With such a small time frame 132 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: here you've referred to it seventy five days left. 133 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 3: Do these two. 134 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 2: Candidates just get hotel rooms in Pennsylvania and Michigan for 135 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: the rest of this campaign? 136 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 5: They do, They are going to be living in those 137 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 5: swing states, particularly as you mentioned Pennsylvania and Michigan, Wisconsin, 138 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 5: adding North Carolina. And you know, one small point to make. 139 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 5: We noticed she did not wear white today. Like many 140 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 5: of the women on the Flora and you guys were 141 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 5: talking about the history making that this is tonight, she 142 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 5: is not playing into that, at least with her dress today. 143 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 5: She did not want to draw attention to her history 144 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 5: making as the first woman of color to get this 145 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 5: nomination in terms of wearing that suffragette white. She chose 146 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 5: to go another way. She also didn't lean in on 147 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 5: her role as vice president. A lot on prosecutor, not 148 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 5: a lot on VP, and not a lot on Joe Biden. 149 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 5: Once again, think how many times we hear Donald Trump 150 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 5: versus Joe Biden in that speech. 151 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 3: Oh true, Well, it's really something killy. 152 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 2: As we watch these images now and a chance for 153 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: the Harris Walls campaign to soak up the energy along 154 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: with thousands of delegates who have made their way here 155 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: to Chicago. This is it the grand finale as we 156 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 2: have experienced together in the first draft of history on 157 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: Bloomberg TV and Radio.
