Speaker 1: never before. You're looking at seveny cannidates for different vaccines.

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: How do we make sure a pandemic of this scale

8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: never happens again? This is Bloomberg Sound on with Kevin'surrelate

Speaker 1: and an all star panel all week long. We'll be

Speaker 1: checking in with the Trump reelection campaign tomorrow an interview

Speaker 1: with Donald Trump Jr. But we kick things off on

16
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: this virtual I'm so sick of it, the Virtual Republican

17
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: National Convention with Tim Marton. He is director of communications

18
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: for the President's re election campaign. Tim Happy Convention week.

19
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: Where are you and how how are you guys gonna

20
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: play things differently than Democrats from a stylistic standpoint, with

21
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: this virtual stuff. H looks like we do not have

22
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Tim, he's there, Tim, how are you. I'm

23
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: doing well. I'm speaking to you from Arlington County, Virginia,

24
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: on the other side of the Potomac River from our

25
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: nation's capital. And Uh, I would say that the stylistically

26
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: and thematically, I think our our convention is going to

27
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: be radically different from the from the Democrats, if you

28
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: forgive the use of that word derivative, being radical on

29
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: the In the case of their convention, we saw four

30
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: nights of really a dark and gloomy projection of what

31
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: the United States is like. And uh, really, if you

32
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: listen to them tell the story, it's so wonder why

33
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: anyone would want to live in the United States. And

34
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: they really didn't pay any attention to the fact that

35
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: if things are so bad in this country as they

36
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: laid them out, then what are they what are they doing?

37
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: Have an the nominee who's been in Washington elected office

38
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: for forty seven years. Uh, And I think if you

39
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: look at our convention, it's going to be an optimistic

40
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: and forward looking bright, look at America, where we've come

41
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: from and where we're going, and President Trump's accomplishments. You know,

42
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: President Trump UH is an unapologetic patriot. He loves this country,

43
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: thinks it's the greatest country that the world has ever known.

44
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: And that is the message that we're going to be broadcasting.

45
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: We'll be hearing from a lot of regular people, normal

46
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: Americans whose lives have improved because of the President's policies. UH.

47
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: And we also, of course reserve the right to draw

48
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: a contrast between President Trump and his record and Joe

49
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: Biden and his record. You know, as we play this

50
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: out and yesterday when I was talking to sources in

51
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: the administration as it relates to cutting through regulatory red

52
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: tape on FDA approval for things like convalescent plasma and

53
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: the scientific community and the ongoing push to find a vaccine,

54
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: You've got really two tracks. You've got so many Americans

55
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: right now, it's him concerned about getting their kids back

56
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: to school, getting their job, keeping their jobs, and then

57
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: of course the health concerns, the very real health concerns.

58
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: How is the convention going to balance both of them

59
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: and still stick with optimism, Because as you know, it's

60
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: a really anxious time for many many Americans of all

61
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: different political stripes. Yeah, and I understand that, and I

62
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: think the President understands that. But I think look at

63
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: the President views that we can be safe and still

64
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: move ahead. We can be safe and have our economy reopen.

65
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: We can be safe and have our schools reopened. And

66
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and the Democrats really cast this as an

67
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: either or situation. Situation, either we can be safe or

68
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: we can have our economy and the schools open. And

69
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: we just reject that kind of thing. King. We think

70
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: you can do both at the same time. And I

71
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: think you saw that reflected last night on the ABC

72
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 1: interview that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris set through. And

73
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: you see Joe Biden saying that he would shut down

74
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: the economy again, you know, if certain doctors told him

75
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: to do that. Look, we're just coming out of the

76
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: coronavirus economic downturn. We've seen the last three months of

77
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: record job creation, and Joe Biden says, look, if they

78
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: told me to, I'd shut it down again. And we

79
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: know that. You know, you could listen to other health

80
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: experts who would tell you that a prolonged economic downturn,

81
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: and we're shutting down of the entire national economy, as

82
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: Joe Biden said he would consider doing. That comes with

83
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: its own very serious health risks above and beyond what

84
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: the coronavirus would cause. And so we do not look

85
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: at it as an either or situation. We think that

86
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: we can be safe and continue down the path of reopening.

87
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: And I think that the President's policies and the rebirth

88
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: of the economy is proving that. I got some more

89
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: questions for Tim martell as on two more topics. For

90
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: Tim Martall's on the line. He's the communications director for

91
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: the President's re election campaign. We're very grateful to have

92
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: him share some of his busy schedule in time with us.

93
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: That this is the issue of law and order, because

94
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: as I look at the cross tabs, and we saw

95
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal cross tab poles where the President

96
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 1: is still leading against Biden on the economy despite trailing nationally,

97
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: but you can't electorally. He's within striking district distance of

98
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: all the battleground states. But on the issue of law

99
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: and order, how crucial of that, how crucial of a

100
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: role is that going to play? Tim Merton to to

101
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: winning back some of the suburban districts. And how do

102
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 1: you how do you use that issue of law and order,

103
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 1: because uh, I hear that that's going to be a

104
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: really important issue, especially in swing districts. It is, it's

105
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: going to be an important issue. And I think whether

106
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: you live in the suburbs, or if you live in

107
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: the cities, or even if you live in a rural area,

108
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: what what you've seen, what Americans have seen on television

109
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: coming out of very many of our major cities, uh,

110
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: is not a pretty picture. It's not things that people

111
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: think about as America. We don't think about our cities

112
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: being on fire and and looting and burning and just

113
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: random acts of violence. We don't we don't like. Americans

114
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: don't like to see that. And I think the point

115
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: has to be made and made strongly that the cities

116
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: in which these incidents are happening have been under one

117
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: party Democrat control for decades and almost a century in

118
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: some of the cases. And so I think there is

119
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 1: a clear delineation. And you saw Joe Biden when asked

120
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: a question of by a liberal activist, would can we

121
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: all agree that you would redirect police funding to other

122
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: areas of government. Joe Biden said, yes, absolutely. We also

123
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: know that during his time as Vice president, in the

124
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: eight years during the Obama administration, federal funding for state

125
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: and local law enforcement fell. It has risen under President Trump,

126
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: precipitously rising. And so I think there is a clear

127
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: delineation President Trump. Just like the rest of us, we

128
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: honor and respect the First Amendment and the rights of

129
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: people to protest peacefully. It's when that line is crossed,

130
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: I think. I think that you see this in the

131
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: reaction by the law enforcement community that they know well

132
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: who signed which one of these two candidates is on

133
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: one after another. The police unions are endorsing President Trump

134
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: over Joe Biden because they know that Joe Biden has

135
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: turned his back on them. Joe Biden, given every chance,

136
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: has sided with the rioters and made excuses for the

137
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: rioters against the interests of law abiding citizens and people

138
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: who live whether it's in the suburbs or in the

139
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: cities or anywhere else. I don't want to see that

140
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: kind of lawlessness, and I think it's going to be

141
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: remarkable on tonight. UH. Senator Tim Scott, a Republican from

142
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: South Carolina, he's giving one of the primetime addresses, and

143
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: you can follow that along Bloomberg Television and radio. He

144
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: of course is a Republican from South Carolina. All right.

145
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: On the issue of foreign policy, I was really surprised

146
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: that foreign policy didn't really come up. I mean, even

147
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: though the reformer secretaries of State that spoke at last

148
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: weeks conventioned China was not really front and center. And

149
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: it's the one area quite honestly, Republicans and Democrats on

150
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: the Hill I've been pushing for and um, but I

151
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: would take it, especially with Secretary Pompeius speaking in Israel,

152
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: that foreign policy is going to be front and center,

153
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: especially this issue with China. Oh you bet we're going

154
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: to talk about China this week. Absolutely, and and and

155
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about it in the in the scope

156
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: of Joe Biden and China. Joe Biden, I'm not surprised

157
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: he didn't want to talk about it at his convention

158
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: because he's got a decade long career of appeasing China

159
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: and promoting China's interests. He argued for a Most Favorite

160
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: Nation status for China, and he paved the way for

161
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: them to be admitted to the World Trade Organization that

162
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: led to the loss of three and a half million

163
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: American jobs, and Biden has never taken China seriously as

164
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: an economic threat to the United States to this day,

165
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: he does not. I mean, everyone's seen the videotape of

166
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: him on the campaign trail this cycle, laughing about it, saying,

167
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: what China is gonna eat our lunch? Come on, man,

168
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: you know they're they're not They're not bad folks, but

169
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: they're not a threat. Mean, seriously, China is our greatest

170
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: economic rival on the face of the planet today, and

171
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: Joe Biden does not take it seriously. Even in the

172
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: coronavirus situation. Everyone knows China lied to us, lied to

173
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: the rest of the world, and everyone also knows that

174
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: the World Health Organization helped them lie to the world.

175
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: And what's Joe Biden's response to that. He doesn't want

176
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: the president to restrict travel from China at the very beginning,

177
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: as he did to save American lives during the coronavirus outbreak. Uh.

178
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: He doesn't want the president to mention that it's the

179
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: Chinese virus and that it came from the Wuhan province

180
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: of China. And he wants to continue sending taxpayer money

181
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: to the w h O, which helped China lie to

182
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: us and put us behind the eight ball in responding

183
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: to the coronavirus outbreak. So we are not surprised even

184
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: in the least that Joe Biden didn't want to talk

185
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: about China or other aspects of foreign policy. Remember, Robert Gates,

186
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: the former Defense secretary under Obama and Biden, said that

187
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has been wrong on every foreign pol see

188
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: call for the last four decades. So if I were

189
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: all Joe, I guess I wouldn't talk about it either.

190
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: Tim Murtzo kicking off our virtual convention, Republican Convention, Thank

191
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: you Tim for for calling in giving us a preview.

192
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: And China. You've just heard it right there, folks. I've

193
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: been saying it all day on Bloomberg TV. China is

194
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: going to be front and center on the geopolitical front

195
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: for this, for this convention. More next, I'm Kevin's Really

196
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg ninety nine one. This is Bloomberg's Sound

197
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: On with Kevin Surreley on Bloomberg and one oh five

198
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: point seven f M h D two. My name is

199
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: Kevin Surreally I'm the chief Washington correspondent from Bloomberg Television

200
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: and for Bloomberg Radio. Special coverage cross platform, headed up,

201
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: of course by the David Weston on Bloomberg Television and

202
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: on Bloomberg Radio. I'm headed to the White House this

203
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 1: evening for our coverage. Now we switch gears. Let's go

204
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: back to the Democrats. Earlier today, I spoke with Countersuman

205
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: Sheila Jackson Lee about what she's expecting from the Republican

206
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: National Convention. The rested from Houston had a lot to say.

207
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: Take a listen. Uh last week, of course, you heard

208
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: from people who know how to govern. You heard from

209
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: people who recognize that the nation is changing. It's enormously diverse,

210
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: regionally diverse, multicultural, and we spoke with voices to those individuals.

211
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: We didn't try to reframe America in our image. We

212
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: listen to the voices of Americans. That's what the Biden

213
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: Harris team represents. I think the challenges that we will

214
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: have in the upcoming convention. And might I just indicate

215
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: that the Gulf Coast, as you well know in this week,

216
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: is faith. You're seeing do hurricanes on top of a

217
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen pandemic, and I expressed my concern for my

218
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: neighbors in Louisiana and of course my fellow Texans. As

219
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: we get prepared, you have to know how to govern.

220
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: What we'll hear are a lot of words from this

221
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: convention about how powerful, how impressive this administration has been.

222
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: But the sad news is breaking news is that there

223
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: will be no evidence of how this administration has helped

224
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: the American people, and so there will be a lot

225
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: of puffery. But unlike what we tried to do was

226
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: to say we're willing to listen in uh and to

227
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: govern by listening and to know how to govern, I

228
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: will expect that there will be a lot of words,

229
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: but an absence to proof that this administration can govern

230
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: the nation that we are now today. Well, Carter, soon,

231
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: let me ask you about this because you have such

232
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: a deep level of experience in terms of the policy,

233
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: especially as the deputy Chief Whip for the Democratic Caucus

234
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: and the House of Representatives. So when you look at

235
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: the economic vision that the nominee Biden is putting forward,

236
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: do you think he's going to be more progressive or

237
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: more centrist? And his approach of governing oriented and what

238
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: does that mean, Um, I don't think there is a

239
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: litmus test. As small businesses across America. That means they

240
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: come in all regions and all political persuasions. This administration

241
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: recognizes that small businesses are the economic engine of America.

242
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: One of his proposals is to ensure that the federal

243
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: government in a very large way does business with small

244
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: business making it easier to access giving small businesses the

245
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: ability to access credit, recognizing independent entrepreneurs and small contractors

246
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: and sole proprietors. That is not a partisan issue. And

247
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: then at the same time, I think he will well

248
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: recognize that different regions need different responses. Joe Biden knows

249
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: how to boost manufacturing to really have it grow. Why

250
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: does he know that because he was at the centerpiece

251
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: of reforming or bringing back uh the auto industry, and

252
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: I was there in the United States Congress. So the

253
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: proof really is in the evidence of Joe Biden's work,

254
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: and I believe that he will have an economic policy

255
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: that is both responsive and attractive to all of America.

256
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: I want to come back to the economy and the

257
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: domestic front and Congress in a second, but sticking with

258
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: the campaign just for for a little bit longer here.

259
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: Houston has been impacted by the U. S And China

260
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: trade relations in terms of the President's policies and dealing

261
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: with China as well as Europe to some extent. I'm

262
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: curious what would Abiden administration mean on the economic trade front,

263
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: as you know your district so very much impacted by

264
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: whomever is the occupant of the White House on trade. Well,

265
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: I can tell you this, Um, we cannot do foreign

266
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: policy or trade policy by throwing spears. I think that

267
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: we worked very hard on the trade legislation that has

268
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: not yet been passed, dealing with Canada, United States, and

269
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: Mexico with Democrats heavily involved, we spoke more to a

270
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: balanced trade policy. I believe the Biden presidency with Kamala

271
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: Harris will not throw spears, but will stand firmly on

272
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: the position that the trade should always benefit UH, the

273
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: United States, businesses and people and working people. UH. Joe

274
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: Biden has been engaged in trade negotiations in the past.

275
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: So the way we will lead, the way the value

276
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: will lead, is that we will try to fix, if

277
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: you will, to mend the broken China United States relationship

278
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: without China dominating our trade policies. We will try to

279
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: mend the European United States relationship without Europe dominating our

280
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: economic policies, but we'll have a collaborative economic roadmap to follow. Congressman,

281
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: you are are on Homeland Security. You are the sub

282
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: committee chairwoman of cyber Intelligence and as well. UH. And

283
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk in recent weeks, especially

284
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: as it relates to China and intellectual property. UH. The

285
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: President has suggested through executive orders that UH apps like

286
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: TikTok should not be able to be run by China

287
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: here in the United States. Is this a bipartisan issue?

288
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: Is this a nonpartisan issue? Where on the US China

289
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: tech front are we in terms of coalitions in Congress? Well,

290
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm very glad to say, as a member of that

291
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: committee that we have been able to force bipartisan legislation

292
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: that deals with cybersecurity. UM. I think that the idea

293
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: of protecting the cyber network of the United States is

294
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: one of the major domestic security issues, national security issues,

295
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: and frankly international issues. UH. In order to however, have

296
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: a solution again, UM, you just can't be use innilateral

297
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: in your efforts. And under this president administration, why we

298
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: have been unsuccessful in getting massive agreements, i e. Dropping

299
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: out of the Iran agreement is because it has all

300
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: been unilateral. Joe Biden Press presidency, Kamala Harris Vice Presidency

301
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: will clearly be UH if you will engaged in bilateral

302
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: ethos and so once we do our work UH in

303
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: the national sphere of cybersecurity, protecting cybersecurity. I even introduced

304
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 1: legislation for um a major catastrophe and how the United

305
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: States respond in its cyber network. But the point is

306
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: is that this new indication of the leadership of Joe

307
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: Biden and Kamala Harris would be we restore our international

308
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: alliances around cybersecurity. We indicate to China that we will

309
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,719
Speaker 1: not have the intrusion that they have been UH frankly

310
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: recklessly engaging in. And whether or not the ending of

311
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: TikTok is the ultimate results here in the United States.

312
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: As you well know, the negotiations going on for the

313
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: purchase of TikTok by United States Company. I happen to

314
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: support that, but in any event, we will not handle

315
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: our cyber network, which is really international, as evidenced by

316
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: the Russian intrusion into the elections in twenty six. We

317
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: will not do it unilaterally this governor governance. Rather, Biden

318
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: and Harris will look to bilateral relationships on the cybersecurity front.

319
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: And one final question I got to ask you about

320
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: the prospects of more economic fiscal stimulus. The what we're

321
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: gathering is that there might be some sorde of skinny

322
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: deal before the election and then afterwards another round of stimulus.

323
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: Is that what you're hearing, uh? And is the support

324
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: there for that? You know, the economy is turned by

325
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: the consumers of this nation, and that is your everyday

326
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: mom and pop. That's your person who is now struggling

327
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: because they don't have six hundred dollars or the cash dispersement. UM.

328
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: We are urging leadership UM to view uh, this as

329
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: they have been doing. As you well know. Democrats passed

330
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: this more than a hundred days ago, the Heroes Act,

331
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: and Republicans, including those in the Senate, have absolutely refused

332
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: to be concerned about mom and pop across America whose suffering.

333
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: We are willing to sit down at the negotiating table.

334
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: The President obviously is distracted by this week. That was

335
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: my interview earlier today with Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee She

336
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: is a Democrat from Houston. Coming up, more policy and

Speaker 1: Justin Sink is on the line. He has a Bloomberg

00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: considering that the Sixers got completely handed to them for

360
00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: nothing against the Boston At this point, it's like, come on, gritty,

361
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: give us a win, give us okay, Night one of

362
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: the Virtual Republican National Convention. Tim Scott's speaking, What else

363
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: can we expect from tonight? And what are you hearing?

364
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: We heard from Tim Murton earlier that they're saying it's

365
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 1: going to be a much more optimistic convention that they're

366
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: going to talk for in policy and draw a contrast

367
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: on China. What else do you think we're going to

368
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: hear from the people that you talk to? Justin Zinc Yeah,

369
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: I mean, so you've mentioned what Tim murtad to say,

370
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: and I do think that that is what Republicans are

371
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: saying we're going to hear tonight. But you know, President

372
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: Trump headed down to North Carolina today to sort of

373
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: formally accept the nomination. He did a brief, unexpected, uh

374
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: kind of swing through the Commission site in Charlotte, and

375
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: what we heard out of him was a lot of

376
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: the same kind of tenor and tone that we've heard

377
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: from the White House for the last few months. So

378
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about how Democrats are trying to

379
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: steal away this election, not a lot of talk about,

380
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: you know, what his policy priorities are going for words

381
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 1: so um, you know, tonight we're going to hear from

382
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: people like Nicky Haley, who's a potential president presidential aspirin

383
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: of her own. UM. Tim Stott, I think that's going

384
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: to talk um as the only black Republican in the

385
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: in the US Senate is going to talk probably about

386
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: um not only opportunities, own projects and things that he's

387
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 1: worked with President Trump on, but perhaps even go after

388
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: Joe Biden for some of his gaffs on on racially

389
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: charged issues. But we're also going to hear from people

390
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: um like Donald Trump Jr. The President's son, who really

391
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: is uh made his I don't know, become a personality

392
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: in the last few years as a really harsh critic

393
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: of Democrats. He kind of has a stand up act

394
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: that I'll do before before the president's rallies at times.

395
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: And so you know, while they say that this is

396
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: going to be kind of a focus on people who

397
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: have benefited from the president's policies, it's hard not to

398
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: imagine that it's not going to be a lot of

399
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: red meat for for the presidents. Um, I think most

400
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: ardent supporters. I think it's really the three names that

401
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: you just picked out. I think Nicky Haley obviously someone

402
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: who does have presidential aspirations. Tim Scott, I think you

403
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: should also we should also know he could he gets

404
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: likely named as someone with a potential running record. And

405
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: then Don Junior, who's going to be on tomorrow. But

406
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: I think you know he Hill's play to the base.

407
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: So you've got this this sense of diversity, and then

408
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: the red meat the red meat. So it's a really

409
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: interesting mix. I'm struck just you know, as as an

410
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: observer of all of this, just to see whether or

411
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: not they make any changes stylistically. Have you heard? I mean,

412
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: and I guess we're gonna have to wait a couple

413
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: more hours, but if you heard about how stylistically it

414
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: might look different than what the Dems did last week. Yeah,

415
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: So I think there was a lot of criticism um

416
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: from the President and some of those allies that the

417
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: Democratic Convention felt overproduced, that there wasn't sort of live spontaneity,

418
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 1: spontaneity to it. So we know Republicans have taken over

419
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: the Melon Arena or Melan Auditorium that's uh in downtown Washington.

420
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna steal a little less of

421
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: the sort of prepackaged fits that we saw in the

422
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: Democratic Convention and more um of kind of speakers going live.

423
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 1: I think we also expect to hear from the president

424
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: each night, so uh tonight, I'm sure there will be

425
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: some way that sort of integrate him into into the proceedings. UM.

426
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: And uh. We know from talking to them that that

427
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: the president has really enjoyed moments in his presidency where

428
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: he's able to sort of surprise people he you know,

429
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: the classic reality television show uh reveal that he really

430
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: loves and so, you know, lots of people involved in

431
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: the commission keeps saying that that we should expect some

432
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 1: surprises and expect some spontaneity. That cuts both ways, though,

433
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Democrats were able to really effectively sort of

434
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: make their case for Joe Biden make their case against

435
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: Donald Trump over fortnights, even if it seems to kind

436
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:06,239
Speaker 1: of drag at points, especially early on UM. But with

437
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: Republicans kind of ripping up the schedule constantly making a

438
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 1: lot of changes, there's a lot of room for potential errors,

439
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: moments that the team off message or um create gas

440
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: or things that they're gonna have to respond to down

441
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: the road. So that's going to be the challenges is

442
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: to inject that spontaneity and keep people uh interested in

443
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: the proceedings without running into some trouble. Yeah, and and

444
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: and coming up, we'll have some more economic reaction. But

445
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: it's a pivot now to domestic politics and the virus.

446
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm reading from the Bloomberg terminal justin Sanka, a Bloomberg

447
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: White House reporter. Market sentiment was supported by news over

448
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: the weekend that the US Food and Drug Administration is

449
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: working to expand access to a virus treatment involving blood

450
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: plasma from recovered patients. Separately, The Financial Times reported that

451
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: the Trump administration is considering whether to bypass regulatory standards

452
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: to accelerate and sparemental vaccine. So what has the response

453
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,959
Speaker 1: been from the President's announcement yesterday, uh that uh plasma

454
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: is going to be more readily available, and you know, yes,

455
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: there's debate in the medical community about how effective of

456
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: a treatment this is, but I think everyone agrees it's

457
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: another tool in the medical community's disposal now for them

458
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: to utilize for for treatment for COVID nineteen. Yeah, I mean,

459
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: I think you mentioned that markets are obviously really excited

460
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: by this, and I think the President's allies would say, yeah,

461
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: this is another example of us pushing the FDA really

462
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: hard to start getting treatments into people's hands. I think

463
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: that this has the potential, especially if used early and

464
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: used by people, um who are younger and don't necessarily

465
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: have some of the underlying conditions, that this can prevent

466
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: a bad COVID case from getting worse. Now, you you

467
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 1: did kind of suggest, um that there is some concern

468
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: within the medical community, and I think that it's important

469
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that, especially as we start talking about vaccines,

470
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: because that's going to be an even bigger example of

471
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: this issue. But but on plasma, so there's a worry

472
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: both that the treatment might not be as effective as

473
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: the President sort of builded, as could give people false

474
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: hope could have consequences that are not yet known. And

475
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: there's especially worried that by doing this emergency youth authorization,

476
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna screw with the way that they do sort

477
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: of um medical trials where people get placebo's, people get

478
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: the actual treatment, they can look at at the consequences

479
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: over time and weigh it against the possible side effects.

480
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: If there's difficult difficulty recruiting people those studies, it may

481
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: be longer for us to find out how effectually effective

482
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: the treatment actually is. And that's always the balance that

483
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: I think doctors and medical professionals face, Right, you want

484
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: to get the science good on something, but you also

485
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: don't want to deprive people of the treatment there And

486
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: and that's the debate that that it's certainly happening with

487
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: apply asthma, and could potentially happen if there's political pressure

488
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: from the Trump administration or to push forward with the

489
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: VEC scene just quickly. What are the chances that that

490
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: Congress gets to a deal this week during the Republican

491
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: National Convention. That'd be a pretty big deal. And even

492
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: if they don't get it this week and they get

493
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: it next week, it's still you know, another feather in

494
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: the President's cap. Yeah, I think it's gonna be hard

495
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: for a deal to come together this week because it

496
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like the White House and the House Democrats

497
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: are even really negotiating at this point. But I do

498
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: think that there's a sense that there's going to be

499
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: political pressure, especially um as some of the president's uh

500
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: unilateral efforts don't bear as much for it as they

501
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: hope to get everybody back to negotiating table. Democrats are

502
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: feeling that pressure too over the Post Office and and

503
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: try to get a deal. Brett Brown's done with the Sixers. Yeah,

504
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: it's it's time to turn the page. Last word they're

505
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: from Justine Sinkets. I haven't heard the page sixers. The

506
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: Brett Brown era needs to end. I'm vince, really you're

507
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: listening into Bloomberg. This is Bloomberg's sound on with Kevin

508
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: Surley on Bloomberg and one oh five point seven FM

509
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,239
Speaker 1: HD two. So I have a confession. First of all,

510
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: my name is Kevin Sili. I'm the Chief Washington Course

511
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: Monitor member TV and radio. So I'm watching the Sixers

512
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: yesterday and I really didn't get into I don't even

513
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: know if you can call this a season. I still

514
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like a season. But I you know,

515
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: I listened to a lot of sports, and it turns

516
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: on the game yesterday, I'm like, they're now three and three,

517
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: and oh, come on, keV, do it for the sixth

518
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: grade version of yourself and just root for Alan Iverson

519
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: against the Lakers. But so I'm watching the game, and

520
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: has anyone seen these games? They don't have fans in

521
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 1: the stands. They've got like it reminds me of that

522
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: computer game I used to play when I was a kid,

523
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,959
Speaker 1: like Backyard Basketball, and anyone play that and it and

524
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: it's it's literally avatars. It was so weird. I And

525
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: then I was trying to figure out if they're actually

526
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: playing the game without fans in the stansas because they

527
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: had a crowd soundtrack, and but I'm thinking to myself

528
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: as a quiet in the stadium. I got real in

529
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: my head about it. And the Sixers lost. All right,

530
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: enough basketball talk, and uh, let's welcome the panel. Bill McGinley,

Speaker 1: which is the largest market for Spanish language media, so

541
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: I very much appreciate you making some time for me.

542
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,959
Speaker 1: We've got a lot to talk about, Bill. What are

543
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: you going to be looking for, uh tonight at the convention?

544
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: From Nicky Haley, from Tim Scott at a course from

545
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: Don Jr. So I really got to tell you, Kevin,

546
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm focusing on the average Americans that are going to

547
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: be speaking at this convention tonight. Like the National Convention,

548
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna have kind of the political all stars, the

549
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: elected officials, the former administration officials, family members come on

550
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: and and talk about their relationship with the President and

551
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: how they worked with them. But some of the people

552
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: that I'm really going to be looking at are going

553
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: to be Amy Johnson Ford, who is a nurse who's

554
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: going to talk about her COVID experience. Natalie Harp um

555
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: catcher survivor, UM, who's going to talk about the Right

556
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: to Try Act, which was legislation that allowed experimental drugs

557
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 1: to be UM used for terminally ill patients. For Kim Classic,

558
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: who is the candidate in the Maryland's seventh congressional district.

559
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: She's the one who put together UM that social media

560
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: video that went viral about policies to help inner cities. Uh.

561
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: Andrew Pollock, who I think is uh really somebody who

562
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: has suffered a lot of tragedy. He's a Parkland father. Um,

563
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: he lost his daughter in that tragic shooting, and he's

564
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: going to be talking about school safety and what the

565
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: administration has done there. And then Tanya Wandrous, who was

566
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: a small business owner who received a P P P loan.

567
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, by selecting a lot of

568
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: these speakers, average Americans talking about the administration's policies in

569
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: the immediate immaterial impact that they've had on their lives

570
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: and some of the issues that they face. UM, it's

571
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: gonna be I think you're gonna see a pretty compelling

572
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: narrative come out of it UM. In addition to the

573
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: all stars that that you mentioned, NICKI Haley can obviously,

574
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: Ambassador Haley can talk about UH foreign policy and what

575
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: happened at the u N but also her travels across

576
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: the globe and how the president's foreign policy UM really

577
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: kind of put the American people first and tried to

578
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,959
Speaker 1: really help with some of the struggles that we have abroad. UH.

579
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: Don Jr. Obviously has been extremely involved in the campaign

580
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: as a terrific surrogate for his father. Is going to

581
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: talk passionately about A Yeah, exactly. I think he is

582
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: going to be UH the Red Mediate Mediact and and

583
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: and Senator Scott, as you mentioned in the top I

584
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: think is somebody who I really can't wait to hear from.

585
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: Well he he inherits the Jack Kemp, the Jack Kemp

586
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: economic model of that and you know, the opportunity zones

587
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: and whatnot, which is really a policy right from Jack

588
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: Kemp's economic model for NATO spailers. I want to bring

589
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: you into this conversation because last week, I mean, you

590
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: hear what Bill's talking about, and it's very much counter

591
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: narrative to the UH story and the and the push

592
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: at the Democrats put out last week. And so I

593
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: guess from your perspective on night one of this opening

594
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: bid for the Republican National Convention, what are you going

595
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: to be looking for as some of those key themes,

596
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: especially for minority groups, whether they're Hispanics, whether they're African Americans,

597
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: or or other underserved groups in the United States. Well,

598
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 1: I think that beyond anyone's speech, the uninvited guest that

599
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: this convention is the pandemic. Um. We know from polling

600
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 1: that this is the number one concern for a supermajority

601
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: of Americans with both parties and no party alike. And UM,

602
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: I think people are going to if they're going to

603
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: tune in, and I'm talking about people who may be

604
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: persuaded to vote for President Trump, I think they want

605
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: to hear what this administration is going to do about this,

606
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: what what are their actual plans. I think the big

607
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: risk for the Republicans during this week is that they

608
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: essentially avoid the sub it right that they are so

609
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: determined to follow through on Trump's cues that this is

610
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: over and you know, just people will die and it

611
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 1: is what it is. Um. I think that's a real

612
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: communications risk here. I don't think there is any number

613
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: of really brilliant speeches that can overcome that major issue.

614
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 1: And on the secondary plane, although very close to the pandemic,

615
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: is the economy. Um. I'm assuming there's going to be

616
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: millions of people who want to hear how the president

617
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: managed the economy before the pandemics. But I'm assuming that

618
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: anybody who's persuadable at this point wants to hear a

619
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: cogent um coherent plans for rebuilding the economy. And based

620
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: on some of the communications that were released by the

621
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: convention today, uh, it seems very much focused on slogans

622
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 1: at this point. Obviously they have the opportunity to fill

623
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: in with some real content. But again, I think just

624
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: claiming that it was the best economy in the history

625
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: of the US, UM, you know, might be good for

626
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 1: the believers, but I don't think it's going to be

627
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,919
Speaker 1: very persuasive unless they add to that with some real

628
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: real plans here to to what people can see the future.

629
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: And yet even even despite that, you look at this

630
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal NBC News poll that was that popped

631
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: over the weekend, and it has I want to make

632
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: sure you get the numbers, the numbers correct. I mean

633
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: Biden's leading Trump to UH to forty one percent nationally,

634
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: which really doesn't matter. I mean, it's the swing states,

635
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: which and which there's they're in striking distance, but he

636
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: Trump leads Trump leads UH by ten points on who

637
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,439
Speaker 1: would best handle the economy. Trump scores ten percentage points

638
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: higher than Biden on which candidate best handles the economy.

639
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: Coming up, we're gonna talk more about that with our panel.

640
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm Kevin cur really, chief Washington correspondent for Bloomberg Television

641

Speaker 1: monitor for Bloomberg Television and for Bloomberg Radio. And that

644
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: is my song of the summer, Good Time's Role by

645
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy Allen featuring Nellie joining us on the panel to

646
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: talk all things policy and politics. And we're gonna talk

647
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: now about mail in voting because Louis de Joeb was

648
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill. He of course heads up the US

649
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: Postal Service and was testifying CAT concluding a second day

650
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: of of Hill testimony virtually. Of course, Friday he was

651
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: in the Senate and UH and Monday he was in

652
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: the House, Nancy Lions telling me in the group chat

653
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: that the Sixers head coach Brown is out, is done.

654
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: Brett Brown is God alright, So back to this though,

655
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: Louis de joy was on Capitol Hill. Fernando ceo of

656
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: a new Hispanic superPAC American Latinos United. He is also

657
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: a Univision radio host in Los Angeles, the largest market

658
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: for Spanish language media, and Bill McGinley, principle at the

659
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: Vogel Group, former White House Cabinet Secretary and former Deputy

660
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: Council at the Republican National Committee. Fernando, how important of

661
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: an issue is mail in voting and to be learn

662
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: anything that's a game changer? From Louis to Joy Lewis

663
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 1: de Joyce, Well, I think it's very big for a

664
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: very practical reason, which is that we're in the midst

665
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: of a pandemic and giving people an ability to vote

666
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: in without exposing themselves to a virus seems to be

667
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: a bit of a brainer. When you add to it

668
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: that there are several states, both Republican leaning in Democratic

669
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: leaning states that have used mel in voting for a

670
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: long long time with complete security and high levels of trust.

671
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: This is of course an invented issue by Trump both

672
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: his own paranoia that if everyone gets a chance to vote,

673
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: they'll vote against him, which I think is a supremely

674
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: weak uh point of view. And he did say a

675
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 1: few months ago that if everyone got a chance to vote,

676
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: Republicans would never be elected again. So he once again

677
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: he's telling us exactly what he thinks. So for him

678
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: to have created this artifice of a crisis, really I

679
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: think it's bouncing uh boomerang boomerang back at him because

680
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: it turns out that there's no partisan vent to the

681
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 1: post Office. It's really about utility and and something which

682
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: I was not aware of before this thing blew up

683
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: is that the post office is very popular among Americans.

684
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: So he's attacking in Fernando, I feel like you just

685
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: I feel like you just kind of gave your I

686
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: feel like it's not popular amongst Fernando A swell us. No, no, no, no.

687
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: I had no no actual consciousness of it. You know,

688
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: it worked, and so I though about it. I didn't

689
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: realize that it was so that it actually had a

690
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: fan club and it was made up of the vast

691
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: majority of American But I think soul I used the

692
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: Post Office. I gotta cut in here. I got to

693
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: defend the post office. I use it for everything, all

694
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: write my thank you notes. You know, I do all

695
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: that I do. Uh pro mail. I'm pro mail. I'm

696
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: totally pro male. I just was not aware how pro

697
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 1: maile everyone else around me. Right, But yeah, but but no,

698
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I I do think that what was interesting

699
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 1: about the postmas in general's testimony is his claim that

700
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: they will actually fulfill their responsibilities by processing balance very

701
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: quickly to make sure the election works out. Now, whether

702
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 1: he does that or not, whether he's just frankly making

703
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: it up because he's under such a tremendous pressure remains

704
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: to be seen. But certainly, I think this this was

705
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: a very weird, kind of paranoid thing that Trump kind

706
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: of just burped up at one point, and it's become

707
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: a real problem for him politically. Certainly. Well, I think,

708
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: you know, Bill, when I was watching some of the

709
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: rhetoric coming from the left and the right, I think

710
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: both sides have really utilized this issue as an as

711
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: a way to, uh to drum up support for their basis.

712
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: You've got you know, whether it's former President Obama and

713
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: former First Lady Obama speaking last week at the convention, saying,

714
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, wait in line, stay in line, or get

715
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,919
Speaker 1: your ballots in early. Or you have the president today

716
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: speaking at the Republican National Convention already briefly uh officially

717
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: after he was named, of course, the nominee again saying,

718
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 1: you know, be careful. We gotta we gotta be on

719
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 1: the lookout for no funny business. Both sides are really

720
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: using this to speak to their respective basis. Bill, Yeah,

721
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: I agree with that, and um, what a surprise in

722
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: that a nonpartisan institution becomes a partisan punching bag from

723
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 1: both sides. Um. You know a couple of things about

724
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: the mail and UH issue and the post office. Number one,

725
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: the Post Office does have funds, right, you know, the

726
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: Democrats are saying it needs an additional billion, but every

727
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: report that I've read says that you've got about ten

728
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: billion dollars UM that they can access to assist with operations,

729
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: um if necessary. Um. The use of the U. S.

730
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: Post Office from other data that I've been reading, has

731
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: been declining over the years because people increasingly send messages

732
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: electronically and photographs and everything else. They're not mailing it.

733
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: And in fact, during the Obama administration. You know, in

734
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: some of their budgets, Um, there was talk about the

735
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: need for reform that you know, UPS and FedEx were

736
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: doing fine. It was the Post Office that was struggling.

737
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: I think was the quote that President Obama got caught

738
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: in in a in a candid moment, and in fact,

739
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: some of their budgets that they submitted, Um, they wanted

740
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: to scale back the Post Office from a six day

741
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: delivery system to a five day delivery system by eliminating Saturday. Um.

742
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: They also talked about no more to the door delivery

743
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: of post of mail, but you know, instead trying to

744
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: do it to some sort of central location where people

745
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: could come pick it up. So there have been issues

746
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: with the Post Office, but the Post Office has showed

747
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: a lot of resiliency during the pandemic. UM. And in fact,

748
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: I believe the Postmaster General when he says that they're

749
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: going to be able to do it. Um the proof

750
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: is in the pudding. We'll see how it goes. But um,

751
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: I think in this testimony he did say that they

752
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: were going to be able to handle the surge in

753
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: both mail and ballots for those states to do that,

754
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: but also the absentee ballot, you know, go ahead. Well,

755
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 1: I was going to say over the weekend, just speaking,

756
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: just catch everybody up to speed. UH. And Eric Wasson

757
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 1: was working for us over the weekend. He's a Bloomberg

758
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: congressional reporter. The House voted on that twenty five billion

759
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: dollar funding bill UH, and it passed with every Democrat

760
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 1: voting for it. It It also passed the twenty six Republicans.

761
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: Twenty six Republicans vote across the island UH and voted

762
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: for this billion dollar funding for the Postal Service. Ten

763
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 1: billion is what the Senate version of the bill had

764
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: called for. But these are some pretty conservative members. Republican

765
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: John Katko, he is an endangered New York incumbent Republican.

766
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: He said in a statement why he voted for it. Quote,

767
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: slowing of these services would have a disastrous impact on

768
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: the lives of many Americans. Now was not the time

769
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: to jeopardize USPS operations or delay services. Oklahoma Representative Tom

770
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: Cole he said that he voted for it a Republican.

771
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: He said the complete freezing of service changes at the

772
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: January level will quote ultimately make it harder to improve

773
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: operations and ensure that the Postal Services set on a

774
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: ready course for the future. And then there's Will Heard.

775
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: Congressman Will Heard is retiring and he voted for it

776
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: and said that the postal services vital. They provide prescriptions,

777
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean, and we haven't really talked about that is

778
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 1: about how many Americans, millions of Americans rely on the

779
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: postal Service for prescriptions. But according to her, no, wait,

780
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: let me finish, they also provide absentee ballots, a method

781
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: to pay bills, and so much more to the American people,

782
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 1: and they're doing this throughout the pandemic. They are essential,

783
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: and like always, I will continue to supportment. That's from

784
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,439
Speaker 1: Congress Hurd whoever I interrupted, go ahead, come in here. Yeah,

785
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to do that. Here's here's the issue, though,

786
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: right when you have a president who pronounces out loud

787
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: that if there's universal mailing voting, Republicans will never win again.

788
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: Whatever happens after that is a function of that. I mean,

789
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: the idea of the President United States said these things

790
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: out loud and then that the people that work for

791
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: him don't actually implement it is a ludicrous idea. So

792
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 1: even if there is a need to reform the post Office,

793
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: there probably is. It does not mean that it has

794
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: to be happened just before an election, after the president

795
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: has articulated his fear that people voting is bad for

796
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: him and for Republicans. So so what we have here

797
00:45:55,160 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: is a presidency that unfortunately is so based on Trump's

798
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 1: personality beyond any policy consideration um, that is so driven

799
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: by his id, so driven by these tweets, which you know,

800
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: the tweets are just kind of a reflection of what's

801
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 1: happening in his brain at any one moment um. And

802
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: and so that there, you there you have a situation

803
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: which is very hard for Americans to believe that what,

804
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: you know, whatever is being done with the post Office

805
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: actually has a good purpose as opposed to trying to

806
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: make sure that the president doesn't lose a panel. You know,

807
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: we gotta jump, but coming up next, we're gonna talk more,

808
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: and you guys can tell me what's on your radar,

809
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,959
Speaker 1: because I gotta go to break but but but hold

810
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 1: it right there. And the one thing that I would

811
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: just add to this is states run elections. So I

812
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: think we're all conflating the issue that the Postal Service

813
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: has to stamp the elections will actually the rules for

814
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: governing mail in voting come from the states, and that

815
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: gets decided as in the case of Washington State, it

816
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: took twenty years, twenty years for a liberal state like

817
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 1: Washington to get to the point of of of mail

818
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 1: in voting. I'm Kevin Surreally much more coming up next.

819
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: You're listening to Bloomberg. You're listening to Bloomberg Sound On

820
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: with Kevin Surreley on Bloomberg and one on five point

821
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: seven f M h D two. I'm Kevin Sireli, Chief

822
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: Washington correspondent for Bloomberg Television and for Bloomberg Radio. And

823
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 1: now it's time for my favorite part of the program,

824
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 1: which is what is on your radar or is on

825
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: the Panels radar. Fernando espelas the CEO of a new

826
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: Hispanic superPAC called American Latinos United. He is a Univision

827
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: radio host in l A, which you know, I'm gonna

828
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: say it. I thought I was going to be spending

829
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: a lot of time in California when this year began.

830
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: It's the largest market for Spanish language media. And Bill McGinley,

831
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 1: principle at the Vogel Group. He is the former White

832

Speaker 1: House Cabinet Secretary and former Deputy Council at the Republican

833
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: National Committee. I'm still California, dream And Fernando, are you

834
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: out in l A. I'm actually in d C. Moved

835
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: my show out here some years ago. But yeah, it's nice.

836
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 1: It's very nice. I've got family out there. And Um,

837
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: I was just talking about yesterday and I was like, oh,

838
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, it's hot and and I'm on going

839
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: to the beach with the kids, like I wish I

840
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: was at the beach. Fernando, what is on your radar? Yeah? Well, um,

841
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: you know you asked up at the beginning of the

842
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: program how minority voters were thinking about things. Well, there's

843
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: something that gets almost zero coverage, which is that there,

844
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: if there's one group of voters in the United States

845
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: that Trump has been able to maintain and in some

846
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 1: surveys grow his support are actually like you know, um

847
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: so um. The reality of his fan export for Trump

848
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,439
Speaker 1: is something that is very shocking to Democrats. But it's

849
00:48:56,680 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: real and constant and doesn't to move I know very much. Um.

850
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: And there's a whole bunch of reasons for that, their

851
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: cultural reasons, their social issues around it, Catholicism, Yeah, all

852
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: sorts of things that are related to right to life,

853
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 1: to gay rights, and of course depending on which group

854
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: and Hispanics were talking about issues like Castro and Emmaduro

855
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: and so forth. And so that's really a fascinating dynamic

856
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:26,439
Speaker 1: of of someone who constantly in self asthetic people being

857
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: able to maintain roughly a third of Hispanic support, of

858
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 1: a third of the overall Hispanic elector to continue to

859
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 1: support the president. Well, what do you think, what what rate?

860
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: What percentage right do you think that they get to

861
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: um in terms of or what right do Republicans need

862
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 1: in order to outperform the expectation? I guess is the

863
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: better question. Yeah, well that's interesting. So if you look

864
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,439
Speaker 1: at the last four elections of five elections, you see

865
00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 1: that Republicans consistently received somewhere from the bottom, which was

866
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 1: Romney all the way up to and they're different numbers

867
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 1: related to how how well President Bush did in two

868
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:12,280
Speaker 1: thousand four, but people generally think around but most of

869
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 1: of of his fantish pots Republicans in presidential elections is

870
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: around thirty thirty, two thirty three, and President Trump received

871
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: in the exit polls at least in roughly in the

872
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 1: latest NBC poll, he's clocking in at and that's like

873
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: the third version of that poll that he's actually doing

874
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: better than out performing his exit polls. So I think

875
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: this is just the reality that Democrats absolutely do not

876
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,680
Speaker 1: want to face. They live in a fantasy world in

877
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,720
Speaker 1: which Hispanics have no options except to vote for Democrats,

878
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: and they're constantly disappointed that they actually don't get more

879
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: votes from our community. I find that remarkable. And do

880
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: you think because because it's even and it goes back

881
00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: to the Wall Street Churnal poll because and you look

882
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: at the cross tabs on these polls, and I said

883
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 1: it to my friend Tammy today earlier lunch, I said,

884
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: I think this race is a lot closer than people think,

885
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: because you've got a majority of fifty eight percent in

886
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal NBC News survey disapproved of Trump's

887
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: pandemic management. But he's still leading on the issue of

888
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 1: the economy. And so that's it's like they're these two

889
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: and and that's still the number one issue. The number

890
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: one issue that people are voting on, according to the polls,

891
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: is the economy, not the pandemic. And so that's why

892
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: it's like there's these very competing data flows that are

893
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 1: out there, and it's going to be really interesting to see. Fernando,

894
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: I'll give you the last word. I know you have

895
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 1: to go, so I want to give you a final

896
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: word before before before you jump off. All right, thank you,

897
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: and yeah, I have to go do my show. But

898
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: but very when we we we look at um and

899
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: we know that the Trump won mission, for example, by

900
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: a round ten thousand votes. What never gets reported is

901
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: he received nineties thousand Hispanic votes. So said in a

902
00:51:55,680 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: different way, if Democrats actually ever become proficient uh persuading Hispanics,

903
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 1: which they have, and um, you know, they could actually

904
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: win even close elections in the electoral college. And short

905
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: of doing that, unfortunately for them, they're going to continue

906
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 1: to underperform and disappoint the rest of the country. Spellers,

907
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: go on air, Go do your thing. CEO of the

908
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: New Anytime American Latinos United, a Univision radio host in

909
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: l A, the largest market for Spanish language and media, Bill,

910
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: all right, sear me what is on your radar? Bill McGinley, UH,

911
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: College and high school athletics. Yes, I could talk about this.

912
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: I could do five shows on this, but no one

913
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 1: lets me go ahead and I gotta tell you as

914
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: a parent of two high school aged kids. UM, both

915
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 1: schools have canceled UH sports for the fall, and the

916
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: proposal is, assuming that the virus is under control and

917
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: it can be safely done, to try and cram three

918
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: seasons into the spring semester um. Which if that's the case,

919
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: I hope they can pull it off. Schools are facing

920
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: a real challenge because a lot of them are going

921
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 1: to be hybrid beginning. My son has already started high school,

922
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: my daughter is going to begin in a week, UM,

923
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 1: but athletics is a big part of their school experience,

924
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 1: not only for socialization but of course the important activity

925
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:16,879
Speaker 1: of physical exercise. And so I think it's a real

926
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: issue that the school districts are going to have to

927
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: grapple with. And of course, on the college level, the

928
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: Pact twelve in the Big Ten UM have canceled their

929
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: football seasons, which just broke my heart. But it sounds

930
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 1: like SEC A SEC and Big twelve may continue. So

931
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 1: it's a real ASTERIX here for fall athletics. Okay, you're

932
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: ready for what's happening in Pennsylvania where Governor Tom Wolf

933
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 1: the Pennsylvania Democrat. Governor Tom Wolf he recommended that the

934
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: p I Double A, which is the Pennsylvania Athletic High

935
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: School Sports for all the public schools and UH in Pennsylvania,

936
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 1: he recommended that they not play any fall sports. This

937
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 1: is in Pennsylvania, Governor Tom Wolf, uh and the p

938
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 1: I Double A, they're not listening to them. They voted

939
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: last Friday to start fall sports practices today today. Yeah,

940
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: today today, with the potential first day of the season

941
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: on Friday, September eleven. So then in a statement responding

942
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,720
Speaker 1: to this, they said, Uh. The Wolf administration says, while

943
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: the administration expressed broad concern with the p I double

944
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 1: AS plans, including the request for liability protections, we've made

945
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 1: it clear to them since July that this decision should

946
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: be made by the p I Double A in concert

947
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: with local school districts. So they're going against the governor.

948
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: So even in a battleground states like I'm telling you,

949
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: it's all political. It's uh. Even in the state like Pennsylvania,

950
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: it's political. It's political, but it's also data driven, right.

951
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: I Mean a lot of these schools need to be

952
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: looking at the data, the infection data, what's working, what's

953
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: not working, and if they can make it work. I

954
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,919
Speaker 1: think most parents would agree, let's get the kids back

955
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: to school. Uh if it's gonna be yeah. But but

956
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,240
Speaker 1: but now you have the then you have this question. Okay,

957
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,160
Speaker 1: so they're gonna play sports, but they're not allowed to

958
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: go to school or there there they can only do

959
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,720
Speaker 1: virtual learning. I mean, it's just there's all of these questions.

960
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: If you're gonna have sports, you at least have to

961
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: have a hybrid model. I think for the classroom. Oh yeah,

962
00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 1: it's it's remarkably you know what I mean, Like, you

963
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,399
Speaker 1: can't have one without the other. It needs to be

964
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: all in or it needs it can't be bifurcated like that.

965
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 1: All right, what's on my radar is the U S

966
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 1: stocks rose to record highs and bonds fell on signs

967
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: that the Trump administration may fast track vaccines and treatments

968
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:34,839
Speaker 1: for the Corona virus. The SMP five notched another all

969
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: time high as optimism amounted that the virus won't hamper growth.

970
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: The NASTAC also closed a record for the second consecutive session.

971
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 1: Companies that benefit for from a more robust UH economic

972
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 1: restart led the gains. So that's on the economic front,

973
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 1: and then the story I'm obsessed with I'm gonna do too?

974
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: Uh is the zoom crash the zoom outage Monday ground

975
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: some work meetings, an online learning to a halt on

976
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: the first day of class for many US students, highlighting

977
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 1: the vulnerabilities of virtual school during the Corona virus pandemic.

978
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 1: Thanks for spending the hour with me, My friend principal
