1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news. Good morning, I'm Nathan

2
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're

3
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: following today.

4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: The big story this morning is in politics. President Biden

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 2: is barreling closer to a twenty twenty four rematch with

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: former President Donald Trump.

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 3: They call it Super Tuesday for a reason.

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 4: This is a big one.

9
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: And they tell me, the pundits and otherwise that there's

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: never been one like this.

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: Has never been anything so conclusive.

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 5: This was an amazing, an amazing night, an amazing day.

13
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: The former president is celebrating after an ear clean sweep

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 2: of the fifteen states in play on Super Tuesday. Republican

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: Nikki Haley managed to win in Vermont, but it leaves

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: her still far behind Trump in the delegate count. With

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: twelve hundred and fifteen delegates needed to clinch the nomination,

18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: Trump now has nine hundred and ninety five to Hayley's

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: eighty nine, and we have the Wall Street Journal reporting

20
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: Nikki Haley will suspend her campaign in a speech this

21
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: morning in the Charleston area. As for President Biden, he

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: cruised to victory in all fifteen states in play on

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: the Democratic.

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: Side, well, Nathan Wild appears, a Biden Trump a rematch

25
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: seems inevitable. Attention for many now turns to campaigning for

26
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: the general election. Bloomberg News Senior editor Bill Ferries talked

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: about strategies for the two front runners, beginning with Donald Trump.

28
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 6: How he runs his campaign still remains to be seen,

29
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 6: whether he holds these big rallies like he has traditionally

30
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 6: done in the past. He hasn't been out campaigning as

31
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 6: much as in the past, partly because he's had a

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 6: lot of court cases to attend to and partly because

33
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 6: he hasn't really needed to. He's been the leading candidate

34
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 6: since this race started, and I think on President Biden's side,

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 6: we're going to see him try to set the terms

36
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 6: of this campaign going forward. On Thursday night in the US,

37
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 6: when he gives his annual State of the Union. It's

38
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 6: a good chance for him to set out what he

39
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 6: thinks are his top accomplishments and the ways that he

40
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 6: separates himself from Donald Trump.

41
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: According to Bloomberg's Bill Ferries, a Biding campaign memo released

42
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: this morning, he says reaching disaffected voters who opposed Trump

43
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: could be a key part of the president's strategy.

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: Karen super Tuesday also saw high profile Senate primaries in California.

45
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: It's now down to the man who led the Trump

46
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: impeachment probes in the House versus a former baseball all star.

47
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: We get the details from Bloomberg's Ed Baxter. In San Francisco, it.

48
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 7: Will be Democrat Adam Schiff and Republican Steve Garvey. The

49
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 7: group had been pretty tightly bunched and pulling a month ago,

50
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 7: but Shift pulled out an interesting TV ad campaign portraying

51
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 7: Garvey as too conservative for California. It booyed Shift, but

52
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 7: also gave Garvey more name recognition. Garvey, of political novice,

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 7: former star baseball player with the Dodgers and Padres, has

54
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 7: stayed pretty low profile during the campaign. Now one of

55
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 7: them will take Diane Feinstein's seat. It'll be a break

56
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 7: in decades long history of at least one woman senator

57
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 7: from California. Ed Baxter Bloomberg Radio.

58
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 8: All Right, Ed, thank you Now.

59
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: With almost half the votes counted, Adam Schiff has thirty

60
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: three percent to Steve Garvey's thirty two percent.

61
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: Taking a look at some other key races, Nathan Democratic

62
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: Congressman Colin already won the Texas primary to take on

63
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: Republican Senator Ted Cruz in November, already broke with President

64
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: Biden over his handling of the Southern border. A Trump

65
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: back candidate in Texas, Brandon Gill, won the primary for

66
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: retiring Congressman Michael Burgess's House seat. Congressman Barry Moore won

67
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: the Republican primary in an Alabama district that was redrawn

68
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: to keep the black vote from being diluted, and in California,

69
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: the vote is still too close to call on a

70
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: ballot measure that would borrow six point four billion dollars

71
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: to pay for new housing and treatment programs to fight homelessness.

72
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: As former President Trump shifts his focus to the general election,

73
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: Karen He reportedly met with Elon Musk and other potential

74
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: donors on Sunday.

75
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 8: We get more on that from Bloomberg stud Prisner.

76
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 9: Trump is urgently seeking new donors to support his presidential campaign.

77
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 9: The New York Times reports he is hoping to have

78
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 9: a one on one meeting with Musk soon. It's not

79
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 9: clear whether Musk plans to give money to the former

80
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 9: president's twenty twenty four campaign. Musk has at times been

81
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 9: at odds with the Biden administration. Back in twenty twenty two,

82
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 9: Musk said he had voted Republican for the first time ever.

83
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 9: Needless to say, last night, Trump and President Biden moved

84
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 9: closer to a rematch in November's general election in New York.

85
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 9: I'm Doug Prisoner, Bloomberg Radio.

86
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: All Right, Doug, thank you well, let's turn to the economy. Now,

87
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: it's the big event. Wall Street has been waiting for.

88
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: FED Chair j Powell begins his two day semi annual

89
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: testimony before Congress. We get a preview from Bloomberg's Michael McKee.

90
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 5: No doubt Powell's hearings will be dominated by the questions

91
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 5: of when the Fed will lower interest rates and by

92
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 5: how much Democrats would love cuts to kick off soon

93
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 5: to better aid President Biden's re election campaign. Republicans have

94
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 5: already signaled they'll be warning Powell not to politicize the

95
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 5: Central Bank. Expect the chair to his it's the decision

96
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 5: will be based on progress on inflation and nothing else.

97
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 5: Wall Street won't like it, but he's not going to

98
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 5: tip his hand on timing. Politics will be in the room, however,

99
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 5: with the State of the Union address on Thursday night,

100
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 5: Poull will likely be asked about the budget deficit, banking

101
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 5: regulation and its money losing balance sheet. Michael McKee Bloomberg.

102
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 8: Radio, Okay, Mike. Thanks.

103
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: In company news, job cuts are reportedly coming to Morgan Stanley.

104
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: Reuter's is reporting the bank has laid off about nine

105
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: percent of its staff at its asset management business unit

106
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: in China. The report says the headcount reduction began in

107
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: December and effects about fifteen employees.

108
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: While staying in the banking industry Nathan the Citigroup CEO,

109
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: Jane Fraser says her reorganization, aimed at streamlining the bank

110
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: and making it more competitive with its peers, has gone

111
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: faster than expected. And we get the story from Bloomberg's

112
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: Charlie Pillett.

113
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 10: Her remarks came at the RBC Capital Market's Global Financial

114

Speaker 10: Institutions Conference in New York. As she sent out positive

115
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 10: guidance for the year ahead. She said, quote, We're not

116
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 10: going to make the mistakes we have made in the past.

117
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 10: Fraser has been under closed scrutiny after initiating what's built

118
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 10: as the largest restructuring of City Group in decades, designed

119
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,559
Speaker 10: to propel the firm from a banking underdog to one

120
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 10: competitive with its more profitable peers in New York. Charlie

Speaker 10: Pellett Bloomberg Radio.

122
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 2: All right, Charlie, thanks on another Wall Street giant, Goldman

123
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: Sachs is zeroing in on Europe, the Middle East, and

124
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 2: Africa as it continues building out its private banking operations

125
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: for the world's wealthy. A senior Goldman executive says the

126
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: banks recently hired at least six private wealth advisors in

127
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: the region from rivals including JP Morgan, Chase, Credit, Sweee,

128
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: and Rothschild In company, Goldman plans to continue looking outside

129
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: the firm for additional advisors well.

130
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: In Tech News, Nathan Apple's troubles and the European Union

131
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: are just beginning, even after it was hit with the

132
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: blog's third largest anti trust find ever. Tomorrow. The EU

133
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: is betting that a sweeping new law will ran in

134
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: the excesses of Apple and some of the world's most

135
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: dominant tech firms after decades of market dominance that the

136
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: bloc has struggled to contain. We spoke with EU Competition

137
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: chief Margareth Vestigo.

138
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: The messaging from the Apple case, of course, is don't

139
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: do this. Stop What are you doing don't put anything

140
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: in place that would have the same effect. We see

141
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: an illegal abuse that has been ongoing for a number

142
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: of years.

143

Speaker 1: US Competition Chief Margareth, investigator says the new Digital Markets

144
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: Act will force tech giants to heed a strict list

145
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: of does and don'ts or face the threat of significant fines.

146
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: Now the look at the other stories making news in

147
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,480

155
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 4: in exchange for the senator's help. The senator and his

00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 4: to Independent in twenty twenty two was trailing in third

160
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 4: place and polls. She criticized part of some dysfunction in

161
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 4: Congress in announcing her much anticipated decision.

162
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 11: The only political victories that matter these days are symbolic

163
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 11: attacking your opponents on cable news or social media. Compromise

164
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 11: is a dirty word. We've arrived at that crossroad, and

165
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 11: we chose anger and division.

166
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 4: With Cinema out, it now likely leaves it a race

167
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 4: between Democrat Reuben Diego and Republican Carrie Lake. A House

168
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: committee on the coronavirus pandemic has subpoena former New York

169
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 4: Governor Andrew Cuomo to testify May twenty fourth about his

170
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 4: twenty twenty man date forcing state nursing homes and long

171
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 4: term care facilities to admit or readmit potentially contagious and

172
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 4: untested COVID nineteen patients. According to the panel chair, Ohio

173
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 4: Republican bad Grad Windscript, he says, not only did the

174
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 4: former governor put the elderly in harm's way, but he

175
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 4: also attempted to cover up his failures by hiding the

176
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 4: true nursing home death rate. Cuomo's lawyer Rita Glavin says

177
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 4: that this is pure political theater. No ceasefire agreement yet

178
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 4: between Israel and a MOSS. Talks with Mos and Cairo

179
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 4: ended with no breakthrough. White House National Security Communications Advisor

180
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 4: John Kirby says, is up to a Moss to make

181
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 4: a move.

182
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 12: What we're looking for and what we want temporary cease

183
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 12: fire for about six weeks. That'll allow us to get

184
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 12: more aid in and more importantly, get all those hostages

185
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 12: back with their families where they belong and reduce the violence.

186
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 12: That's the deal on the table, and as the President

187
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 12: also said today, it's a rational deal. And the Israelis

188
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 12: have been cooperating, they have been negotiating in good faith

189
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 12: on this. It's time for Hamas to step up to

190
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 12: the plate, take a swing, and let's get this thing done.

191
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 4: Global News twenty four hours a day and whenever you

192
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 4: want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Michael Barrn. This

193
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 4: is Bloomberg Nather.

194
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 8: Thank you, Michael.

195
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: Time out for the Bloomberg Sports Update, brought to you

196
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: by Trice Date out he with John stash Hoer.

197
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 13: All right, Nathan the next at the garden again without

198
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 13: four starters. The MRI on Jalen Brunson's knee came back clean,

199
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 13: but they didn't want to rush him back, and the

200
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 13: Knicks came out flat. Trailed Atlanta by twenty two in

201
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 13: the first half, did rally to tie, but never took

202
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 13: the lead. The Hawks, who were without their top scorer

203
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 13: Trey Young, pulled away one sixteen to one hundred. Nick

204
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 13: shot only thirty eight percent. They took fifty two to

205
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 13: three pointers, also out rebounded by eleven. The coach is

206
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 13: Tom Thibodeau.

207
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 14: The rebounding was a problem that was that was a

208
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 14: bigger concern for me than you know, like mishots are

209
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 14: part of the game. Your rebounding. That's important, and we

210
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 14: didn't rebound the ball the way.

211
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 4: You know.

212
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 14: It was one or the few times we got out rebounding.

213
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 13: It's that nine game winning streak. Knicks for four and nine,

214
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 13: two and seven at home, they host Orlando Friday at

215
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 13: Barkley's Nets beat The Sixers won twelve one oh seven.

216
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 13: In Cleveland, Celtics seemed on their way to a twelve

217
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 13: in a row, up by twenty two in the fourth quarter.

218
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 13: The Cavs, playing without their top scorer Donovan Mitchell rallied

219
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 13: to win by one. Phoenix won an overtime at Denver.

220
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 13: Kevin Durant scored thirty five the Devil's first game for

221
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 13: new coach Travis Green. They lost at home to Florida

222
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 13: five to three, Islanders down to nothing, came back beat

223
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 13: Saint Louis four to two. Edmonton a two to one

224
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 13: overtime win at Boston easily went for Saint John's one

225
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 13: o four to seventy seven at De Paul, who had

226
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 13: three and twenty seven as the worst record in the nation,

227
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 13: top two in the Big Ten, met third rank Perdue

228
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 13: one at Illinois and Fort Saint Lucie. Mets beat the

229
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 13: Yankees five to four. Tyler McGill three scoreless innings. Not

230
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 13: a surprise that the Giants are not giving Saquon Barkley

231
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 13: the franchise tag as they did last year. It doesn't

232
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,599
Speaker 13: necessarily mean his Giant's career is over, but he'll be

233
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 13: a free agent, will certainly listen to other offers. Also

234
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 13: no tag for safety Xavier McKinney. You just at his

235
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 13: best season. He'll also be a free agent, and free

236
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,319
Speaker 13: agency begins in one week. John Stashenawer Bloomberg Sports.

237
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 2: Want to get right back to Super Tuesday and The Aftermath.

238
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: We're joined by Wendy Schiller, director of the Alfred Talbin

239
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: Center for American Politics and Policy at Brown University, and

240
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: Wendy will lead with the new The Aftermath. For Nicki Haley,

241
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal is reporting that she will suspend

242
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: her campaign to this morning in a speech in Charleston,

243
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: South Carolina, and decline to make an endorsement at least

244
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: at this point.

245
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 8: Your reaction, well.

246
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 15: I mean, I don't think, Maathan, this is unexpected. I

247
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 15: think people thought she'd stay until, you know, yesterday, and

248
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 15: then the maths is becoming insurmountable. And then you have

249
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 15: to ask yourself, you know, why you taking donor dollars

250
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 15: and why do not you set yourself up potentially for

251
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 15: twenty twenty. You know, the important thing is what Nikki

252
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 15: Helly does next? You know, does she you know, support

253
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 15: Trump in the end a couple months from now, or

254
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 15: does she stay quiet or does she actually try to

255
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 15: undermine the Trump campaign. I mean, if you want to

256
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 15: run twenty eight, I don't think that's going to be

257
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 15: your strategy necessarily. But on the other hand, she seems

258
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 15: to have attracted financial support and voter support from a

259
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 15: decent sized wing of the Republican Party. So the question

260
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 15: for her is how do I position myself for twenty

261
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 15: eight not really what I can do in the remaining

262
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 15: months of twenty four.

263
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 2: Well, the reporting that we're seeing is that she's going

264
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: to encourage the former president to earn the support of

265
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 2: the Republican and independent voters who backed her throughout the campaign,

266
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 2: and will continue to emphasize advocating conservative domestic and foreign

267
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: policies that seem to be going against the direction that

268
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: former President Trump is taking the party.

269
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 15: Well, I mean, I think what we're going to see

270
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 15: is that the campaign will rest on a personality of

271
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 15: Donald Trump can contain himself. His campaign's death has been

272
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 15: much better at keeping him contained since the New Hampshire

273
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 15: primary where his speech was not well received, So that's

274
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 15: been a turn. Most of the time he can't really

275
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 15: contain him, but now he seems to be understanding that

276
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 15: the less he says, generally speaking, the better he does.

277
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 15: So that's going to be the big test. And can

278
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 15: Joe Biden tomorrow night is the State of the Union

279
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 15: give a robust enough speech to persuade you know, unhappy

280
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 15: Democrats and also independent voters that he is worth investing

281
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 15: in even you know, in November, given their concerns. So

282
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 15: now the general campaign begins, and it's a long way

283
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 15: it till November, and if the Trump campaign can keep

284
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 15: him contained for a very long period of time, I

285
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 15: think that makes the Biden camp much more worried and

286
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 15: nervous because reminding everybody what Trump was like and what

287
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 15: he said is rhetoric about women, et cetera, et cetera,

288
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 15: versus you know, his generally decent record on the economy

289
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 15: before the pandemic. That's going to be the big framing

290
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 15: question as we go forward.

291
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 8: Well, keeping Trump contained really is the big wild card,

292
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 8: isn't it when you consider all the legal battles that

293
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 8: the former president is going to be facing in the

294
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 8: next several months leading up to the November election.

295
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, I think if the Biden campaign can

296
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 15: resuscitate Biden's image as someone who's a productive and successful

297
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 15: president and can do it again, then I think, you know,

298
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 15: the Democrats, the poll numbers might shift a little bit,

299
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 15: but Trump usually goes with what's working, and right now

300
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 15: he seems to be persuaded that staying quiet is what's working.

301
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 15: The board is still a big issue. I mean, these

302
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 15: are the issues besides the pandemic that people worried about

303
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 15: in twenty twenty. The thing is that if inflation continues

304
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 15: to be steady, not go up, maybe go down a

305
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 15: little bit, and people get used to the idea that

306
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 15: we no longer have really massive inflation, although we still

307
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 15: have pretty high grocery bills and smaller packaging. But if

308
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 15: that happened and the economy stabilizes, no big layoffs, and

309
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 15: this rhetoricat recession fades, by the summer, you're going to

310
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 15: have two nominating conventions featuring these candidates, and people will

311
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 15: go back to the choice they had in twenty twenty.

312
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 15: That's the worry for the Trump campaign that it will

313
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 15: revert back to twenty twenty in terms of this comparison,

314
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 15: and in that case, Biden came out the winner.

315
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 8: Is there a worry among either of the campaigns?

316
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: Do you think that voters are just going to stay

317
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: home in November when we have so many polls showing

318
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 2: that the majority of Americans don't want this Biden Trump

319
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: rematch that now looks inevitable, and despite the fact that

320
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: we saw record turn out in twenty twenty. I mean,

321
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: the dynamics are quite a bit different than they were

322
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: four years ago, aren't they.

323
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 15: They are, I mean, there's no question about that. But

324
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 15: that was remember a pandemic, and we had a lot

325
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 15: of mail in voting, and some of the products of that.

326
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 15: Some additional states have now gone to all vote by mail.

327
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 15: So that's what's interesting about that. So we'll have an

328
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 15: election without vote by mail, and for both sides, particularly

329
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 15: the Democrats, that presents a different organizational challenge than twenty twenty.
