1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

2
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: It's Binberg, Brief and Menascrani alongside Danny Berger in New

3
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: York with the Democrats are during on President Biden's exit

4
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 2: from the election race, scoring more than fifty million dollars

5
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: in donations just on Sunday alone since the announcement. Let's

6
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: get the reactions from US law makers who are at

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: farmboroth show. Guy Johnson is there. You're talking politics and planes. Guy,

8
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: good morning, It's.

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 3: The perfect combination politics and aerospace. We'll walk of you

10
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 3: want on a Monday morning. Manas, thank you very much. Indeed, yes, sir,

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 3: welcome from a BLUs three Farmborough air Show. This year's

12
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 3: events obviously has been overshadowed by the political developments that

13
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 3: we've seen in the United States overnight. So let's get

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: a take now on what that ultimately means, not only

15
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 3: for the country, but also for the aerospace industry. I'm

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: joined by Senator Jerry Moran Public I'm from Kansas, and

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 3: Senator Genie Shahey, Democrats from New Hampshire. I'm going to

18
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: start with you, Senator. Understandably, obviously, the news overnights comes

19
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: as a shock, but not as a shock. Is Vice

20
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 3: President Harris the right choice? Do you think now to

21
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 3: take on Joe Biden's mantle? Do you think others should

22
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: be given a choice. I appreciate you being over here

23
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: for the last few days, but you must have a

24
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 3: view on what is happening here.

25
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: Well. First of all, it's nice to be here at

26
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: Farmer Airshow. Senator Maran and I are co leading a

27
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: bipartisan delegation from all across the United States. We're mostly appropriators,

28
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: so we fund airplanes like the ones we see in

29
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: behind us. But we're also on the Armed Services Committee

30
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: some of us, so it's exciting to be here to

31
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: see what's happening and to promote United States innovation on politics.

32
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,279
Speaker 1: I haven't been in the United States for several days,

33
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: but it's going to be a very interesting process. People

34
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: are very excited. I think Vice President Harris has moved

35
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: very quickly to build support, but the delegates to the

36
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: convention will decide ultimately if she gets the nomination, so

37
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: I think we'll see a lot of activity in the

38
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: coming movie. Does he support her? We are waiting for

39
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: the President to address the nation later this week. President

40
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has done an excellent job investing in America

41
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: over the last four years. He deserves a tremendous amount

42
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: of respect and credit for his willingness to step down

43
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: and what he believes is the best interest of the country.

44
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: So I'm going to wait to hear from him.

45
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 3: Do you have a candidate in mind? I guess it's

46
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 3: the real question, right, So you at the moment are

47
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 3: reasonably agnostic on who you think ultimately should be his

48
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 3: successor we'll wait for plane to take off so we

49
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 3: can hear your answer.

50
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: Well, no, I think it will be important to have

51
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: someone who will carry on the man until of the president,

52
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: and clearly the vice president has done that. But we're

53
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: going to wait.

54
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 3: See, so a continuousy candidate would be something that you'll

55
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: be looking for.

56
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: That's important.

57
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 3: Okay, let's look at it from the other side of

58
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: the aisle. We're sitting here in Europe. There is serious

59
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: concern over here about what a Trump two point zero

60
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 3: presidency would ultimately mean. We all heard what jd Vance

61
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 3: said the other day at the RNC. There is a

62
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: concern that America is going to become more isolationist. Is

63
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: that your perspective?

64
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 4: It is not my hope and it's certainly nothing that

65
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 4: is foretold that's not going to happen if we get

66
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 4: the right policies in place. We have for seventy five

67
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 4: years Republican administrations, democratic administrations. America has been hugely engaged

68
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 4: in NATO, supportive of the cause, and at a time

69
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 4: in which Putin has invaded Russia, Russians have invaded Ukraine,

70
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 4: it is not a time for America to back off

71
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: of its commitment around the globe. My experience in being

72
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 4: here and talking to foreign leaders is that they have

73
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 4: significant determination, but it takes the United States to have success.

74
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 4: And so as a team, Europeans and Americans, NATO's and

75
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 4: our allies of a role to play in the world.

76
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 4: And I think there's a justification for us making certain

77
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: that we do the right things in a way that

78
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 4: we share the burdens with our allies.

79
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: Yep.

80
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 4: But I don't expect America to walk away from the

81
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 4: world in any administration.

82
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 3: So you voted for Ukraine eate in the past, I did.

83
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: Do you think that that aid is at risk?

84
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: I do not.

85
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 4: But again, President Trump, when he was president, made it

86
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 4: pretty clear that he expects our European allies, our fellow

87
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 4: NATO members to do more, and that was absolutely the

88
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 4: right thing to encourage and in fact to insist that

89
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 4: they do so, and we've seen results of that. It's happening.

90
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 4: And again, I think there's a path forward Ukraine for success,

91
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 4: for a victory, and I think that it's important for

92
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 4: us to continue to pursue this cause.

93
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: And I think it's important to point out that that

94
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: aid package, passed overwhelmingly in both the House and Senate,

95
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: was strong bipartisan support. So while it took longer than

96
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: any of us had hoped, it got there with a

97
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: lot of strong bipartisan support.

98
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: Do you think that's a democratic governments in the United States,

99
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 3: and democratic governments in the United States will be less

100
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: isolationists than a Republican ministers.

101
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: Look, I expect whoever the next president is to do

102
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: what's in the national security interests of the United States.

103
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: Our role in the world, our role in NATO in

104
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: supporting the Ukrainians in this war, the unprovoked war that

105
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: Russia has instigated in Ukraine, our support for the Indo Pacific,

106
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: for providing the counterbalance to China, all of that is

107
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: in our interest. And whoever's president, I'm sure is going

108
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: to do what's in the best interest of the United States.

109
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: Let me make this point that the world is going

110
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 4: to change. I mean, as politics is changing the United States,

111
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 4: and you focus upon what's happening in the US, we're

112
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 4: going to have additional challenges in the next one hundred days,

113
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 4: in the next four years, and as the world we

114
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 4: our adversaries are aligning against us from Iran and their proxies, Russia,

115
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 4: the South Pacific, and China. So when you ask about

116
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 4: whether or not the United States is going to be

117
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 4: in isolation this country, one, the answer is no, But two,

118
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 4: we're not going to have a choice because the challenges

119
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 4: are going to be so great to our own nation.

120
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: But the priorities that the priorities are impulsive is Asia.

121
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: Is China a bigger priority than Europe? He talks about

122
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: burden sharing, What does Europe need to do to share

123
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: the burden adequately.

124
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 4: So a number of my colleagues were opposed to aid

125
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 4: for Ukraine, Republican colleagues, YEP, because they said the focus

126
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 4: should be China. But the reality is what we demonstrate

127
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 4: with our European allies in Ukraine determines what happens. What response.

128
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 4: What happens to the South Pacific and China is activity.

129
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 4: So the world watches to see if we're capable, and

130
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 4: we need to demonstrate that. And it's not just about Ukraine.

131
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 4: It's about American security, and it's about making certain our

132
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 4: adversaries present and future know that when America is committed

133
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 4: to something, they're there for the long haul.

134
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 3: But I mean, you know he's going to address the

135
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: Joint Session in a few days time, you sit them

136
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 3: for our relations what do you want to hit.

137
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: I would like to hear him talk about what he

138
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: plans to do to end this war. I would like

139
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: to hear him say that they're going to increase humanitarian

140
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: aid to all of those Palestinians affected in Gaza. I

141
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: would like to hear him say that he's going to

142
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: initiate elections in Israel so that the Israeli people who

143
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: have been demonstrated against his leadership understand that there's the

144
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: potential for an option. I would like to hear him

145
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: say that he's going to figure out how to resolve

146
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: some of the challenges with Southern Lebanon so that we

147
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: don't see an increased war in Southern Lebanon. So I

148
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: hope he will talk about all of those issues. I

149
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: would be surprised.

150
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 3: Yes, that is quite the list said, This is Shaheen.

151
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: Senator Moran, thank you both indeed for joining us here
