Our economic 7 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,440 Speaker 1: indicators are brought to you by Commonwealth Financial Network. When 8 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: it's time to change the conversation, talk with the broker 9 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: dealer r I A that's ready to listen called six 10 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: six four six two three six three eight or is 11 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: it Commonwealth dot com to learn more? A lot of 12 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: numbers out right. Now, here's what we have so far. 13 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: The Employment cost Index. This is a first quarter number 14 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 1: of six tenths of a percent. That's a tenth higher 15 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: than the revised number for the fourth quarter of the year. 16 00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: Personal income for March, the final month of the quarter, 17 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: up four tenths of a percent. That's double the initially 18 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: reported amount in the first quarter, which was revised down 19 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: to one tenth, and it is more than the economist 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: forecasts of three tents personal spending up just a tenth 21 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: though that matches the the unrevised number from the month 22 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: of February, which has now been revised to two tents. 23 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: So he had a decline in the rate of increase 24 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: in spending, a decline in the rate of UH an 25 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: increase in the rate of increase in personal income. The 26 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: inflation numbers now the PC deflator, these are the numbers 27 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: that the Fed watches, is up a tenth of a percent, 28 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: which pushes the PC annual rate of inflation to eight 29 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: tenths of a percent. That is down from the prior month. 30 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: And we have the PC core up a tenth and 31 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: the core rate one point six percent, which is unchanged. 32 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: So a lot of numbers out this morning, and now 33 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: we're getting the Chevron numbers. First quarter loss per share 34 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: of thirty nine cents, much worse than the eighteen cents 35 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: that had been forecast by analysts. So Chevron does not 36 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: do what Excellon did, which was coming better than expectations 37 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: uh of. Chevron reports at first quarter loss of seven 38 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five million dollars. I want to bring 39 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: in Paul Mortimer Lean now he is global head of 40 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: Market Economics at b MP pair about have him react 41 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: to some of the numbers. Mike was just going through 42 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: and Paul, let's start with those inflation numbers first and 43 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: what you make of them. Yeah, I mean, I'm not 44 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: sure the inflation numbers of a whole of news in them. Um. 45 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: You know, PC coll pretty subdued of the tenth maybe 46 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: a bit bit softer than the people were hoping. And 47 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: you know, the FED wants to see something up close 48 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: to two tents so um. And the thing that really 49 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: struck me was the personal expendit shore of only attempts 50 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: because you know, the e comedies be running on the 51 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 1: house old sector for quite some time because investments soft, 52 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: exports are soft, and now the consumers soft, and that's 53 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: pretty bad news for the phone. I think that's the 54 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: standout feature of these set of numbers. Well, when you're 55 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: talking about a March number, obviously we're looking in the 56 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: rear view mirror and oil prices have gone up significantly 57 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: since then. So how much weight do you put on 58 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: the inflation numbers from March? Yeah, I mean, I mean, 59 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: what you know, I look at the core numbers. I 60 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: think that's important for the FED, but for half of 61 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: its mandate the PC headlineer for eight tenths um. I 62 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: mean that is that's also important, and that's going to 63 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: go up further, and that's really really important because you know, 64 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: wages are not picking up that much, and so we've 65 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: what we've got is we've got prices picking up and 66 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: wages aren't, and that's going to reinforce the fact real 67 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: spending by the consumer is probably gonna slow something. And 68 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: that's that's the concern I have about the economy that 69 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: we're seeing the consumers slow off even before we've seen 70 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: higher gas prices crimp personal income and leave less for 71 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: for the fun stuff to buy. Of course, we're gonna 72 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: hear a little bit later from the every sub Michigan 73 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: consumer sentiment numbers talk a bit about how oil prices 74 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: are are playing into all of us. Well, I think, 75 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: you know, oil prices overall, I mean, I'm not quite 76 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: sure whether the recent pot we've seen is sustainable or not, 77 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: but certainly what we've got is a big boosting demand 78 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: in China, and we're seeing that the Chinese monetary expansion 79 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: feed through two energy prices overall. The weaker dollar is 80 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: also important in boosting commodity prices, including oil, and as 81 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: those oil prices come up, then we're going to see 82 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: higher headline inflation. I don't think the call will will move. 83 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: Headline inflation will move up, and that will take income 84 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: out of consumers pockets and leave left income to spend 85 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: on things that move the economy forward. Really, and that's 86 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: I think even the market looks for oil prices and say, ah, 87 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: this is good news. And the reason for that is that, ohio, 88 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: ol prices are seen as kind of risk one phenomenon. 89 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: So fil prices are going up, that must mean that 90 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: global demands better. That's true. But higher oil prices are 91 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: good for producers, but they're not good for consumers. And 92 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: the US is predominantly a consumer of oil, and so 93 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: it's it's um. I think it's slightly concerning that the 94 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: consumer is already weak before oil prices move up that much, 95 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: before gasoline prices at the pump move up. Well, we've 96 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: been talking for some time about how consumers didn't seem 97 00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: to be really spending their gasoline price dividend. Well, I'm 98 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: not sure that that's true because if you look at 99 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: the savings ratio, so the proportion of income that consumers spend, 100 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: it's been pretty flat. If consumers hadn't been spending it, 101 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: then that savings ratio would have been going on. The 102 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: fact is that the rate of increase of real incomes 103 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: of the consumer in the US has been decelerating for 104 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: some time, and that's why consumer spending has been decelerating. Now. 105 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: I've got to say it's decelerated a bit faster than 106 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: most people would have expected. But you know, the FED 107 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,799 Speaker 1: story that we saw in the statement that consumer income 108 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: remains solid, it's not that true. Um, you know, I 109 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: think they're over exaggerating. I think it has been solid 110 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: in the past, but it's decelerating now, and I think 111 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: the FED is probably worried. All right. Paul more and 112 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: more Lee is our guest.

Analysts we're 204 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: looking for an eighteen cents loss, so it was a 205 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 1: much bigger than what they had anticipated.

The following is from Bloomberg 230 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: View opinions in commentary from Bloomberg columnists. I'm Peru, a 231 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: columnist for Bloomberg View. Emmett Rensen wants his fellow liberals 232 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: to stop being so condescending. In an essay for Vox, 233 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: he despects what he calls the smug style of American liberalism, 234 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: a style that attributes disagreement with liberalism to stupidity and ignorance, 235 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: and response to that disagreement with mockery. It delights in evidence, however, dubious, 236 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,079 Speaker 1: that liberals are intellectually superior to conservatives. Renson believes that 237 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: this style is weak into liberalism by alienating poor and 238 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: working class white voters. He's right that it would be 239 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: better to show these voters some respect, even better that 240 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: it would be if liberals consider that their opponents might 241 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: occasionally be right on some issues, even if they are rural, 242 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: working class whites. Rensen believes the liberals were wrong to 243 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: rig kill Kim Davis, Kentucky's most famous county clerk. What's 244 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: more important, though, is that she had a point. Her 245 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: jobs shouldn't have required her to act contrary or conscience. 246 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: Conservatives have now changed the law to make this possible 247 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: without harming anyone. The great virtue that contemporary liberalism relax 248 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: and needs is neither civility nor solidarity. It's humility, and sadly, 249 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: even some of liberalism's most thoughtful internal critics can't see it. 250 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: I'm Panuru. For more view please go to Bloomberg View 251 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: dot com or view go on the Bloomberg terminal.

We're watching the body politic. Uh 256 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: rot A little bit um. Unfortunately, another ugly scene out 257 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: in California yesterday as Donald Trump holds he holds a 258 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: rally um, a lot of bad things said about immigrants, 259 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: and then a lot of protesters outside and got a 260 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: little violence. Yeah, unfortunately. Uh. Brett Air is the host 261 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: of Fox News Special Report, and of course you can 262 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: hear Fox News Sunday here on Bloomberg Radio every Sunday 263 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: o'clock and at two o'clock you keep up with all 264 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: the latest from the opinion thought leaders on what's left 265 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: of the body politic. And I sort of say that, Brett, 266 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: because it it does seem for a while the campaign 267 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: was was weird. Now it seems to be getting ugly. Yeah, 268 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: good morning. Um. There have been a few events that 269 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: have definitely gone over um overboard, and they have um, 270 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: you know, the the anger um on both sides is 271 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: actually is real. Some of those protests are manufactured by 272 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: obviously people who are opposed to Donald Trump to begin with, 273 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: but some of it is stirred up and uh, it's 274 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: a real problem out on out on the trail. I 275 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: think we're going to see a bumpy road, uh to Cleveland. 276 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: But I think Donald Trump is in a position to 277 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: to sew it up to get to the majority twelve 278 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: thirty seven. Uh, delgates needed before you get to July 279 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: A teams sticking with California here as somebody who wrote 280 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: for his college newspaper. I was very excited to see 281 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: this article in the Stanford Daily. Amused by the headline, which, 282 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: in classic college newspaper fashion, did not two more than 283 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: literally tell you what it happened. John Baynard talks election 284 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: time in office. But John Baynard went to Stanford University, 285 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: did a conversation with a history professor there, uh and 286 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: made some shall we say, frank comments about Ted Cruz. Uh. 287 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: What did you make of this, Brett and and the 288 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: effect it's having here, the backdrop being here of course 289 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: Ted Cruise naming Carl Furia to be his running mate. Yeah. Well, 290 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: I think John Bayner's filter is gone, and uh, he's 291 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: freewheeling outside of Washington. He was asked about the GOP race. 292 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: He said Donald Trump was a golf and texting buddy 293 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: and then said, uh, Ted Cruz is Lucifer in the flesh, 294 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: and um said he's a miserable s ob to work with. 295 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: And uh, I think that for Ted Cruz on the 296 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: campaign and this environment is not a bad thing to 297 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: have establishment John Bran Bayinner talking about it like that, Uh, 298 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: and Cruiz is trying to turn it around and use 299 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: it as he's the outsider who's who's pushing the establishment. Um. 300 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: But on the in Washington, I think you know, you 301 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: have others like Peter King out this morning saying, um, 302 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,399 Speaker 1: it makes Lucifer look good. And I think you have 303 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people who's filter is gone in this 304 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: election and that feel compelled to talk about Well, it's 305 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: suggest that um Republicans are are making their peace with 306 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: Trump as nominee in whatever kind of peace Uh, they can. 307 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: David Brooks fascinating column today, of course, the conservative writer, uh, 308 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: columnist for the New York Times. He calls it a 309 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,719 Speaker 1: Joe McCarthy moment. People will be judged by where they 310 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: stood at this time. Those who walked with Trump will 311 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: be tainted forever. Uh. How does that jibe with the 312 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: sentiment you pick up in Washington? It is so amazing 313 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: to see the split here. You know, you've had hashtag 314 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 1: never Trump and then hashtag always Trump, and I think 315 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: we've gotten to the hashtag eventually Trump with a lot 316 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: of establishment times. But David Brooks writes a very I mean, 317 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: it's definitely worth the read today. Um, I don't know 318 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: how the Republican Party unifies after the convention, uh to 319 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: effectively run a race um with that kind of split, 320 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: and we'll see. I don't know if Hillary Clinton is 321 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: the unifying factor that changes the dynamic. But I don't know. 322 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 1: If you're at that speech that Donald Trump gave at 323 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: the Mayflower Hotel age, I was not there. A speech 324 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: there on foreign policy, a format different than what we've 325 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: seen him in deliver before, in a in a setting 326 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: different from what we've seen before. Uh, he's making an effort, 327 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: it seems to to try to bridge that gap to 328 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: suggest that he is, uh, he could be more palatable 329 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: to the establishment. What did you make that speech? Well, 330 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: I think you're right, it was an effort to touch 331 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: some Republican themes that they want to hear. I think 332 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: more important, uh, two Republicans here in Washington is to 333 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: see the list of names he's potentially going to name 334 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: for the Supreme Court, to see some other wise men, 335 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: potentially that there were women on his cabinet. Uh. And 336 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: if he can surround himself head of the convention with 337 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: big names and and big decisions, that may change the dynamic. Well, 338 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: because the speech a certainly panned by Europeans and by 339 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people in the foreign policy establishment in Washington. Yeah, 340 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: the America first thing is definitely touches on the populous tone. Um. 341 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: But the way he talks about it is not traditionally 342 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: the way that Republicans have run foreign policy. So you know, 343 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: I've heard some people say that Donald Trump would potentially 344 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: be on some issues in foreign policy to the left 345 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: of Hillary Clinton.
