1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: Bloombridge. Jody Schnyder is with us. Jody, Um, I mean 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: this was this is a political event, and it's a 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: it's a vintage Donald Trump without the shouting so far right, 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: no shouting so far and you're right, no mention. I 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,240 Speaker 1: thought we'd hear a little bit about that, how he 6 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 1: had that in his mind had actually won, But we 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: haven't heard that yet. And it's also not a rally. 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,159 Speaker 1: It's interesting he's doing this some marrow lago, lots of 9 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,159 Speaker 1: flags behind him, but uh, you know, it's not the 10 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: rally persona, you know, revving up the crowd. Uh, he's 11 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: more kind of taking it a trip down his own 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: memory lane about what he says was the kind of 13 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: moment in the sun of his presidency and trying to uh, 14 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 1: you know, paint a very dark, sinister picture of what 15 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: he says has happened under Joe Biden. Um. He hasn't 16 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: yet announced his running but twenty three minutes before he 17 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: took the stage, he did file that candidacy paperwork with 18 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: Federal Election Commission that would make him the first h 19 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: for election to Um, the first candidate to formally file 20 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: those papers. Now, it's understandable Jody just politically speaking here 21 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: for him to talk about his accomplishments, um, and whether 22 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: they're self ingrandized or not. I mean, that's uh, that's politics. Um. 23 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: But the Republican Party has come out in a number 24 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: of different ways saying that they're going to have to 25 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: talk about the future and not the past, not the 26 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: election denial, and not what he did while he was president. 27 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: Now I suppose he has time to move forward, but 28 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: do you agree with that thinking, Well, it's very interesting 29 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: the timing on this, you know, and is particularly interesting. 30 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: So he made his announcement that he was going to 31 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: announce several weeks ago, uh, you know, before the mid term, 32 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: which was interesting that a week before the mid term, 33 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: um last week, and they you know, at that time, 34 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: the thinking had been the uh Democrats were going to 35 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: get Trumps, they were going to lose the Senate, they 36 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: were going to badly lose in the House. And we 37 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: didn't see that, right. We saw the Democrats hold onto 38 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: the Senate, that may even gain a seat depending on 39 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: what happens on that with that runoff in Georgia. And uh, 40 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: while they are expected to lose the House, the House 41 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: to flip to the Republicans. It's taken us. You know, 42 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: we don't know this yet a week later, and UM, 43 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: it will be by a very much smaller margin than 44 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,119 Speaker 1: had been thought. And Donald Trump's being blamed by that 45 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: for that. In a lot of quarters, the candidates he backed, 46 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: that he endorsed, that he pushed to run largely lost 47 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: both in Senate, House, governorship's Secretary of State races. And 48 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: even last night we learned that Carry Lake, who had 49 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: been you know, a very much endorsed uh Trump candidate 50 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: and had been you know, one of the more steadfast 51 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: election deniers of UM, basically she's been a loss. So 52 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: and he's getting blamed for that. In a lot of quarters. 53 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: He still has a lot of support, and it's a 54 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,519 Speaker 1: lot of Republicans have not yet said who they would 55 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: back they would back him, and maybe now with this announcement, 56 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: it will you know, really compel a lot to have 57 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: to make those statements of who they back. But then 58 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: we have run to Santas with a pretty decisive win 59 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: in Florida, UM, last week. We want to we want 60 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: to get back to that thought in just a second, 61 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: but we want to tell you that we are running 62 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: a bullet in here on Bloomberg that he has just 63 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: officially announced, So we have both Donald Trump is running 64 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: for president Douglas Jody. Is there some risk that Mr 65 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: Trump could be facing uh kind of a legal predicament here, 66 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: either in Georgia or from the Department of Justice in 67 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: the midst of all of this, Yes, certainly, Um, And 68 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: there's there's some thinking and some uh you know, uh 69 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: prognosticators are saying one of the reasons he's announcing and 70 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: announcing so early is because he thinks, in his own 71 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: mind it may allow him to escape, um, you know, 72 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: to avoid uh any kind of prosecution if he's you know, 73 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: that this somehow could protect him, which um, you know, 74 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be a good legal strategy. Certainly, Maybe 75 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: it's a political strategy. Thinks if he's running, he can say, well, hey, 76 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: they're after me because they're Democrats. Um. But he does 77 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: face a lot of you know, there's a lot of 78 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: legal challenges to him so far, and we haven't heard 79 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: from Mark Garland in the Justice Department and what they 80 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: intend to do. We knew they were waiting until after 81 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: the mid terms to take any action. If they're going 82 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: to take action, yeah, So and going forward. You you 83 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: started to talk about Rhonda Santis um and you mentioned 84 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 1: his strong filing and it definitely are strong showing um 85 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: in the in the his race there. Uh, and he 86 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: definitely was strong. He's definitely running. I've read articles today 87 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: saying he basically is the front runner and Trump is 88 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: running from behind. Do you think there is any veracity 89 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: to that? Well, it's time to say. So far, we 90 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: haven't seen a lot of actual pulling, you know, of 91 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: the two of them against each other, but to Sciantis 92 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: certainly has important backers. He did well in his in 93 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: that race. Uh. He came out today, Uh, kind of 94 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 1: a little bit of fighting spirit against um former President Trump, 95 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: who has been you know, mocking him, calling him the 96 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: sanctimonious and and you know, other unflattering kind of things 97 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: about him. Today, Rond de Santis came out and he said, well, 98 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: let's look at the scoreboard. Let's look at the scoreboard 99 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: from last Tuesday, and uh, you know that I will 100 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: tell the tale, obviously referencing his election, his big election 101 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: win with uh, Donald Trump's backing of candidates who did 102 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: not win largely did not win. Uh. So um, it 103 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: looks like the Sciantis is and sort of a fighting mode. 104 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: We've heard from some of his backers. Ken Griffiths came 105 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: out and said Donald Trump's now three time loser and 106 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: why would the party stick with that? Uh. And there's 107 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: others who are saying that, yet he still has a 108 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: lot of support. So um. And you know, there's been 109 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: a lot of examples of this in history, like the 110 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: Santis people who have come out who had early support, 111 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: early backing, and then didn't stand the test of time. 112 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: All Right, Jody, great work with us. Thank you so much. 113 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: We really always appreciate your analysis of Bloomberg's Jody Schneider. 114 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: And so it is official Donald Trump the filing earlier 115 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: and now the official announcement.
