1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 2: Single best idea and an election across this nation. Good

3
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: morning to all of you around the world. Thank you

4
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 2: for the reach of YouTube. Subscribe to Bloomberg podcast. The

5
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: international audience has caught us by surprise. Thrilled to have

6
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,159
Speaker 2: you listen to us in your Pacific rim evening in

7
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 2: the later afternoon and continental Europe as well. It is

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: an election, got some complaints. People are like, okay, lose

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 2: the politics. Can we talk about why bore Well, I

10
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: didn't get that, but you get the idea. No, it

11
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: is the political season and many people. We talked to

12
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: Henrietta Treys and Terry Hayes making very clear there is

13
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: an election impact. We'll see what that is in the

14
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: coming days. And Frankly out into Q one of twenty

15
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: twenty five today and Selza joined us on polling. But

16
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: first Bob Woodward out with his new book War. He's

17
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: had done many interviews. I didn't spend that much time

18
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: on the book. We talked to Bob Woodward about America

19
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: in the politics of the present moment. Here Bob Woodward

20
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: on President Trump.

21
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 3: That speculation, I don't know. What is very interesting is

22
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 3: to listen to Trump in the last couple of days.

23
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: He's in a very sour mood. And I think it

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 3: was yesterday or the day before he said, then this

25
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 3: is the man who wants to be president again. He's

26
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 3: very dark, very profane comments, and he said, this is

27
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: a crooked country. Now imagine somebody, this is not a

28
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: crooked country. It may become one if he becomes president.

29
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: Bob Woodward an entire generation changing and shifting on journalism

30
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: in the early nineteen seventies because of mister Woodward and

31
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: Carl Bernstein as well, of course iconic Redford and Hoffman

32
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: in the movie All the President's Men. And part of

33
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: that over a lifetime has been each and every newspaper,

34
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: Republican and Democrat, they endorse candidates. That's the way it's

35
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: supposed to be. There's been a shift. Here is a

36
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: final question to mister Woodward. We asked about newspapers and

37
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: should they endorse a presidential candidate.

38
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 3: That's obviously up to them. At the Washington Post, there's

39
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 3: a big controversy about the non endorsement. Now the Washington

40
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: Post I know very well for over fifty two years.

41
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 3: Is I say it's strong when the reporting is strong

42
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 3: as it has been now, I think it's been magnificent,

43
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: and the editor datorial page should deal with the strength

44
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: of that reporting. The editorial page needs to deal with reality,

45
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: and the reporting is real and incredibly strong. To ignore

46
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: it is to ignore reality. Not a good thing for

47
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 3: any institution.

48
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: Bob Woodward there in the selection the newsmaker over the

49
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: weekend and Seltzer in Des Moines. I worked with her

50
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: years ago full disclosure on polling for Bloomberg News. She

51
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: came out with a poll that said Vice President Harris

52
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: was doing and I'm going to say this, it was

53
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: an amateur better than good and I created a firestorm

54
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: over the weekend. What a joy to go out I

55
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: eighty today, go south of I eighty down to the

56
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: Raccoon River and there in west of Moines. It's the Vatican,

57
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: folks of polling. It's the one the young kids in

58
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: polling respect the most. And Seltzer on our election, it's.

59
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: A continuation of what we saw in September, which is

60
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: the difference between June and September. Were more people, dramatically

61
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: more people saying that they were likely to vote. That

62
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: measurement would be I'm going to definitely vote. If you

63
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: just say probably, we don't count that, and that that

64
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: increase accounted for Kamala Harris's bump. So less than one

65
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: percent of people went for Donald Trump when thirteen percent

66
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: went for Kamala Harris. And that was the difference between June.

67
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: It was an eighteen point gap in June, a four

68
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: point gap in September. That continues with our October poll

69
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: in that the demographics more likely than average to say

70
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: they will definitely vote or that they've already voted, are

71
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: strong Harris demographics. It's women, it's college educated, it's younger people,

72
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: it's older people as well. It's the incidents of voting.

73
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: If your age sixty four and over is like ninety

74
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: four percent, that's a really big number, and she does

75
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: very well with older Iowans.

76
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: And Selzer of Iowa always of Iowa. We thank all

77
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: Over team for getting that interview on short notice. Here

78
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 2: this morning, we look forward to election day tomorrow and

79
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: beyond differing opinions about how painful this is going to be.

80
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: Do we get out to a ten pm decision election night?

81
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 2: Do we go out further leading our coverage? Joe Matthew

82
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: Kayley Lynes, John Ferrell, and Amory Horden will join in

83
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: the seven o'clock hour for that coverage. Tomorrow Night will

84
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 2: be with you Wednesday morning as well as tomorrow morning

85
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 2: here on surveillance. We're out on Apple podcasts, on YouTube podcasts.

86
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: This is single best idea

87
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 3: Seven
