1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 2: The single best idea called the Small Take. David Gurr

3
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: is the host of The Big Take, really really successful effort,

4
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: a twenty minute, twenty five minute full look at a topic,

5
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 2: a single best idea.

6
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 3: We go the other way.

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: It's six minutes, even five minutes of short conversations today

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: with a political tilt. Is mister Gurra came back from

9
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 2: the climbs of Maine in the lobster role to help

10
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: out on a Friday morning Sweeney off, to say the least,

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: and so it's a political tinge today. Stay with me

12
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: on this. Justin Sink is a White House reporter for

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: Bloomberg and he's done a great job for us. And

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: of course everything's changed at the White House on the election.

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: Justin Sink of Bloomberg News.

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: Sidney, the biggest question is, you know, are we in

17
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 3: a honeymoon or not? Right pulled this in the same

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: thing right now. But Kamala Harris is coming off of

19
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: a convention that was really great and while these baths

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: are good, they're not runaway, and so he got to

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 3: really put a grain of salt in all of this,

22
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: which is where within the margin of earon, you know

23
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 3: nearly all of these things, and this raise is going

24
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: to go down to a razor's edge. So while it's

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 3: you know, you'd rather be harrassed than Trump right now,

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody is kind of saying that this

27
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 3: thing's over.

28
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: And along with that, Justin Sink of Bloomberg News just

29
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 2: was really good on the current mood and of course

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 2: of the President on vacation in California. Also we added

31
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: today David Wasserman, that's to name many of you in

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: the political game will know if you don't know who.

33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: He is absolutely definitive and was definitive before twenty sixteen.

34
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: At the Cook Political Report. He wrote in an essay

35
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: two weeks before Clinton Trump and basically said, would everybody

36
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: stop pushing aside Trump? He could win And that was

37
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: of course a career maker for David Wasserman. I put

38
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: out earlier this week Charlie Cook Emeritus Charlie Cook The

39
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: Cook Political Report, with a blistering essay to Trump and

40
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: Harris supporters of lose the exuberance and get to work.

41
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: It was just a fabulous effort. Here our David Gera

42
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: with David Wasserman The Cook political report.

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 4: Well, we've seen a prosecutor and a vice presidential debate,

44
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 4: and you know, Kamala Harris acquitted herself fairly well against

45
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 4: Mike Pence, and this time around, I do think there

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 4: is more downside risk for Donald Trump now when we

47
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 4: think back to June twenty seventh. Obviously Trump won that debate,

48
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: but that was because the sitting president was incoherent and

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: if you take Trump's performance in isolation, it was nothing

50
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 4: to write home about. So Kamala Harris is relentlessly on message.

51
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 4: That's part of the reason why Democrats and her campaign

52
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: have kind of sealed her in this hermetically sealed bubble,

53
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 4: tightly controlled interview on CNN, very little else that is

54
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 4: off the cough. And meanwhile, even by his standards, Donald

55
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 4: Trump has veered off script in the last month and

56
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 4: half and that's been a big reason why Republicans have

57
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: lost the battle so far to redefine Kamala Harris, and

58
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: she has come across more as the challenger or a

59
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 4: change candidate than the incumbent vice president. She is. It's

60
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 4: up to Trump and Republicans to remind voters that Democrats

61
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 4: are the ones in charge now.

62
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: David Wasserman the Cook Political Report. Always fun to work

63
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: with my former colleague and president, colleague David Gurra. He

64
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: will be at the debate September tenth. Talked a little

65
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 2: bit about it through the show, frankly through the week

66
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: as well. But boy does that creep up. Don't forget.

67
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: Here's the schedule. Labor Day, Lobster le Monday, September third,

68
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: ninety two nine FM, Boston. Thrilled about that September third,

69
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: look for that signal from Mount Catada and Millanocket down

70
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: to island. Very excited about that, like ninety nine to

71
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: one in Washington. Now it'll be ninety two nine FM

72
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: in Boston. But David Gurrow then on to September tenths

73
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: and he made very clear this is a different debate.

74
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 5: There is this kind of moved to the middle. As

75
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 5: we talked about a little bit.

76
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 2: Of a leadership campaign on policy, it was the whole

77
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: crime thing, you know, That's what he knew we'd get votes.

78
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,679
Speaker 5: This is such a strange campaign in so many ways.

79
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 5: Obviously paramount in the sense that it's moving very quickly

80
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 5: here and it's a very short, compressed campaign. And so

81
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 5: we've seen the Harris campaign putting out more policy positions.

82
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 5: I want to say, policy papers, but more definition. There

83
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 5: there has to be a nod to policy. And herein

84
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 5: lies the trickiness of this campaign. The Democratic campaign is

85
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 5: differentiing itself at least somewhat from the incumbent President.

86
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 2: David Gurrow there of course the host of the Big Take,

87
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: among other things, and again he will give us coverage

88
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: from the debate. September tent. In the business world of economics, finance, investment,

89
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: I must say the beginning of the school year is

90
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: our new Year's our New Year's Eve, and then on

91
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: to a sparightly September and into Q four. It is extraordinary.

92
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: But nothing has been more extraordinary than the American economy.

93
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: The resiliency of three percent ending June thirty. Who knows

94
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: what we'll have ending September thirty in a stock market

95
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: that has confounded those cautious, just absolutely extraordinaries. We end

96
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 2: out the fiscal the business year, if you will, and

97
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,599
