1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news, single best idea.

2
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna have a record short, single best idea because

3
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 2: you're exhausted from the election out come. The team is exhausted,

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: mostly sleepless in Cincinnati or Seattle. I should say election

5
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: results from Seattle those for you tomorrow. Let's cut to it.

6
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: We had two politicians on today as they pick up

7
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: the debris of the Republican and Democratic Party. We're at

8
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: the French Hill of Arkansas. Here in a moment from

9
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: Connecticut is a different governor, Ned Lamont. I want to

10
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: make clear that missus Lamont Andie Lamont is a member

11
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 2: of the Bloomberg LP board. There is that disclaimer. But

12
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: here we are with Ned Lamont, the governor of Connecticut,

13
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: and now his Democrats will pick up the pieces.

14
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 3: Take that final a couple of days, how much it'd

15
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 3: have been in a diner having a cup of coffee

16
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,559
Speaker 3: in apple pie with a couple of the guys instead

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 3: of Oprah and Beyonce. But you know that said. Look,

18
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 3: I'm an Ivy League guy, I'm for granted, so I'm

19
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: hardly the person to say we are going to be

20
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 3: the party of the working families. But you've got to

21
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 3: reach out to BP got to talk to people every day.

22
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 3: I go to the factory line and make sure people

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 3: have a sense that we're there for them. You know,

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 3: Washington under Biden that worked very many business people at

25
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 3: all in that administration. Could I have been led by

26
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: a business guy?

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: Nettelmont, the governor of Connecticut. We then turned later in

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: the hour to Arkansas. Frenchhill is a banker from Little Rock.

29
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: He is the winner of the second congressional district, of

30
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: course of the House. They have to vote every two years,

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: and he won where they think it was fifty nine

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: percent of the vote. We had a collegial discussion about

33
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: collegial Arkansas politics, and then they asked him simply, in

34
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: this time of Republican South, how did Bill Clinton get elected?

35
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: Well back when he did that, it was democratically conservative Arkansas.

36
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 4: It was a super majority of the legislature, County judges,

37
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 4: elected officials were all Democrats in the seventies and early eighties,

38
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 4: but they were centrists, what you might call blue dog Democrats,

39
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 4: and Clinton put himself at the front of their parade

40
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 4: of a forward looking, pro growth blue dog. I mean

41
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 4: I see this every year for the decade I've served

42
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 4: in the House, they doubled down on what I call

43
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: a center left progressivism that you find maybe in Brooklyn,

44
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 4: but you don't find in Conway, Arkansas, and they try

45
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 4: to run on it. And it hadn't worked for them.

46
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: Yet, Friendshill. What we try to do here is be

47
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: balanced Nedlamanta, Connecticut in Friendshill of Arkansas. We will continue forward.
