Trump Responds to Second Apparent Attempt on Life; Fed Readies to Cut

Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, Radio News. 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:10.479 Good morning. 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:13.360 I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:14.840 stories we're following today. 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:18.319 Karen, we begin with the latest unexpected development in this 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:22.599 presidential race. Former President Donald Trump has apparently been targeted 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:26.319 for assassination for a second time, this time at his 0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:29.720 Palm Beach golf course, and now a full scale multi 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:34.680 agency investigation is underway. Our team coverage begins with Bloomberg 0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:36.400 Steve Podisk in Washington. 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:39.680 The Secret Service says it opened fire on a man 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:42.360 standing at the fence with a weapon with a scope. 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.199 Secret Service special Agent in charge of the Miami Field Office, 0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:47.479 as Rafael Borrows. 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:48.760 Our agents engaged. 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:52.240 We are not sure right now if the individual was 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.200 able to take a shot at our agents, but for 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.440 sure our agents were able to co engage. 0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:01.600 With the ship and a case file firearm was recovered 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:04.520 near the course that a vehicle detained. They say the 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.840 suspect was three hundred to five hundred yards from Trump. 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:10.920 He's identified as fifty eight year old Ryan Routh and 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:15.040 is in custody in Washington. Steve Potisk, Bloomberg Radio. 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.240 Right, Steve, thank you. A federal officials say the suspect, 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:21.640 Ryan Routh, has eight arrests on his record, apparently for 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:25.440 minor offenses. In addition to the AK forty seven style rifle, 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.320 the Secret Service says it also retrieved two rucksacks and 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.960 a go pro camera. This latest incident follows the assassination 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:36.280 attempt in Pennsylvania in July, which prompted criticism of the 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:40.440 Secret Service and the resignation of its director. Bloomberg political 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:44.800 contributor Jeanie Sheianzeno says, this will raise even further scrutiny. 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.520 How is it that somebody got an AK forty seven 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.680 within what the FBI said is four to five hundred 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.920 yards of him on a golf course. So I am 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.800 racking my brain to figure out if an American history 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.800 we have had a candidate and former president who has 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.040 been the victim of an attempted assassination not once, but 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.880 twice within two months on the campaign trail. 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:12.120 Bloomberg political contributor Genie Sheihanzino says the former president responded 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.320 to the incident in a text to supporters, saying, my 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.760 resolve is stronger after another attempt on my life. 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.080 I thank Karen. This comes as the former president looks 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.600 to move past his most recent debate, which polls show 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:27.440 most voters think Vice President Kamala Harris won. Bloomberg's Kevin 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.480 Whitelaw says it's unclear if this latest incident will affect 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:30.919 the race. 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.360 The first one obviously did have a bit of an 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.799 impact on the polls, and you know, but I think 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:38.800 we're pretty far down and the race is in a 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.359 very different place. You had Kamala Harris coming out of 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.120 the debate with a lot of momentum. The polls have 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:47.639 recently been showing it being very strong. Unclear to me 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.360 whether this really is going to change those dynamics, But 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:54.080 I do think the political rhetoric has just been getting 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.040 super intense on both sides. 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.600 And Bloomberg's Kevin Whitelaw ads the White House released a 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.040 statement saying President Biden and Vice President Harris were briefed 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:05.240 about the security incident and relieved to know Trump is safe. 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.920 In a post on her ex account, Harris said she 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.520 was deeply disturbed, adding that violence has no place in 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.280 America and Nathan. 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:17.639 Hours before the apparent assassination attempt, Trump responded to pop 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.239 star Taylor Swift's recent endorsement of Kamala Harris and his 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.440 social media posts. The former president wrote in all caps, 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:28.519 I hate Taylor Swift. Swift endorsed Harris minutes after last 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.720 week's debate, driving hundreds of thousands of visitors to the 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.399 vote dot gov, a voter registration website. 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.400 Well it's turned down from politics, Karen to markets. We 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.480 are two days away from an expected rate cut from 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.760 the Federal Reserve. In Bloomberg's John Tucker is here with 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.280 more so John, at least a quarter point cut seems 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:48.480 spanked in the cake at this. 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.200 Point, Nathan, the current market pricing from the CME places 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.200 the odds of a quarter percent cut at just about 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:58.120 sixty percent. The ons of a jumbo cut of fifty 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.960 basis point that stands around forty percent. Way Lead Blackrock 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.960 says this consensus view is right. The economy just doesn't 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:06.240 need a jumbo cut. 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.320 The big picture is that US growth is doing okay. 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.880 You look at their own FEDS on now Cast growth 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:18.040 model Q three GDP is tracking two point five percent. 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.600 Way Lea Blackrock says, the economy is okay, and the 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.160 S and P five hundred points out is less than 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.919 a percent away from its record high. This would be 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.400 the first rate cut from Fed officials since March of 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.799 twenty twenty. That's when the rates were slashed to cope 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:34.760 with the downturn from the pandemic. Cutting rates during a 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.320 presidential cycle that is a rarity. Since nineteen ninety the 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.240 Fed has cut rates in the final two months of 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:43.880 a presidential campaign only three times. In New York, I'm 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:45.680 John Tucker Bloomberg. 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.560 Radio, All right, John, thank you. And traders also monitoring 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.520 central bank activity around the globe this week. Bank of 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.360 England policymakers are expected to keep rates on hold after 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.039 cunning last month, and the Bank of Japan is also 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.360 projected to hold after raising rates twice. 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.119 And economic data out of China CAAREN showed a string 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.960 of misses, especially on industrial production. Bloomberg's Asia Government and 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.520 Politics correspondent Rebecca Chung Wilkin says pressure is mounting on 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.920 Chinese authorities to ramp up stimulus to ensure the country 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:15.960 hits its five percent growth target. 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.159 It's all the lowest level since nineteen ninety six, again 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:23.039 suggesting a sort of low demand from consumers is low 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:28.440 willingness and credit data also came in relatively weak too. 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:33.560 So in some ways just reinforcing that very negative backdrop. 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.159 Bloomberg's Rebecca Chung Wilkin says the Chinese Central Bank is 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:41.679 signaling it'll prioritize fighting deflation. That indicates more monetary easing 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.040 maybe ahead. Goldman, Zach's City Group and Morgan Stanley are 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.360 among banks downgrading their growth forecasts for China this year. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.120 Well now to the latest on the war in the 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.440 Middle East, Nathan Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin at Yahoo is 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.360 warning the Hoo the militant group will pay a heavy 0:05:57.480 --> 0:06:01.760 price after a hypersonic missile ended in central Israel over 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.440 the weekend. The Iran Bak group fired a missile that 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:09.040 evated interception by Israeli and US forces. No deaths were reported, 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.560 but it marks US sent back for Israel's air defense system. 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.479 And elsewhere in geopolitics, US and British officials are growing 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:20.520 increasingly concerned that Russia is giving nuclear weapons technology to Iran. 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.720 Western officials tell Bloomberg they feared the Kremlin is trading 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.680 nuclear secrets for ballistic missiles to use in its war 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.839 with Ukraine. President Biden is set to meet Ukrainian President 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.000 Vladimir Zelenski at the UN General Assembly next week to 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.480 discuss Zelenski's war strategy ahead of the US election. 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.840 And finally, Nathan, we have a company note this morning. 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.520 Boeing's credit is at risk of being cut to junk 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.400 as its workers strike threatens production and cash flow. Moody's 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:50.320 ratings place the Planemaker on review for a downgrade. Boeing 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.960 has forty five billion dollars in net debt, and it's 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.120 been bleeding cash after pairing back output following the near 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:03.400 catastrophic Alaska air incident in January. Honest time now for 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.359 look at some of the other stories making news in 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.400 New York and around the world. For that were joined 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.920 by Bloomberg's Michael Barr Michael good Morning. 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.240 Good morning, Caaren a new tropical threat heading into the 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:18.600 Carolinas today as potential tropical Storm Helene. Tropical Storm Mornings 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.680 are expanded from South Carolina all the way to the 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.640 outer Banks. The system is forecast to drive inland towards 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:29.600 Myrtle Beach and Wilmington, North Carolina, before pushing Deepert into 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.600 Charlotte and Raleigh. By the afternoon tomorrow, the system moves 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.840 into parts of West Virginia and western Virginia. The storm 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:40.320 Kupandoo's flash flooding with totals reaching as high as eight 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.560 inches of rain in parts of the Carolinas, along with 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.280 a one to three foot storm search. There was mayhem 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.640 at a New York City subway station when two officers 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:52.720 confronted a thirty seven year old man who had not 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:56.200 paid his fare. Police say the suspect told the officers 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.520 on the platform to stop following him or he will 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.720 kill them. The suspect then pulled a knife from his pocket. 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.560 The confrontation then moved inside a train. Please say they 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.960 shot the man after tasering him did not work. He 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.120 is under guard in critical condition at a Brooklyn hospital. 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:19.320 Two innocent bystanders were also shot. Interim NYPD Commissioner Thomas dundlm. 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:23.600 I'm especially concerned about bystanders. People are just trying to 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:27.280 get where they're going being the victims of harm in 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:31.000 this situation. But let's not forget why this started. It 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:33.800 started because somebody wanted to come into the transit system 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:34.360 with a weapon. 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.000 A forty nine year old bystander was shot in the 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.840 head and is in critical condition. A twenty six year 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.040 old woman was also wounded. And is in stable condition. 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.920 A forty year old officer was also shot. He's in 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:50.400 stable condition. Another member of the Jackson Five has died. 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.959 Tito Jackson was one of the five brothers that also 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:03.400 included Ki, Jermaine, Marlin, and Michael. The family group, which 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.040 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:09.079 in nineteen ninety seven, produced several number one hits in 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.320 the nineteen seventies, including I Want You Back, ABC and 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:16.439 I'll Be There. Tito Jackson was seventy atfec says. Showgun 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.360 won for Best Drama I at the twenty twenty four 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:22.160 Emmy Awards as the Best in Television was honored last night, 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.160 aired on ABC, asked for Outstanding Comedy. 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:29.439 You Were Ghost Too the Emmy Ghost Too Hack. 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:35.040 Hack star Geene Smart also won Best Comedy Actress.

Now, I'm Michael Barr, and this is Bloomberg 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:47.240 Karen Orray. 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:54.800 Michael Barr, thank you time now for the Bloomberg Sports 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.280 Update with John stash Hour John Good Morning. 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:58.960 Goo, Morning Karen. It was a bizarre game that the 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:03.439 Giants played in Washington. The Commanders had seven possessions. They 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.480 never punted, never turned it over, never scored a touchdown, 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.720 but they did kick field goals on all seven possessions, 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.680 haul by Austin Siebert, who they had signed last week. 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.959 The last one gave Washington twenty one to eighteen victory. 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.480 The Giants didn't have a kicker, Graham Gano heard his 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.840 hamstring on the opening kickoff, many wondering why they didn't 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.679 have a second kicker in uniform since Gino had been 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.800 bothered by a groin injury last week. Without him, the 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:29.400 Giant miss an extra point twice unsuccessfully went for two 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.920 points in defeat. The rookie whine out in the leak 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.600 Neighbors was terrific ten catches one hundred and twenty seven yards, 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.600 but Neighbors picked a bad time for his one drop. 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.280 It came on a late fourth down play the Jets 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.720 one at Tennessee twenty four to seventeen. Aaron Rodgers two 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.560 touchdown passes and finally a Jets winning quarterback, and that. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.520 Ended a long time being able to have that interview 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.360 on the field after the game means you won, means 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.640 it you know, played halfway decent, so good to get 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.040 a win. These are kind of the games you look 0:10:58.080 --> 0:10:59.920 back on late in the season you're thankful that you 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:03.199 if he won these because if you want to be 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.240 a great team, we got to win in these type 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:07.839 of environments against teams like that. 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.840 Cats defense much better, had four sacks, force two Titans 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.360 turnovers among the teams. Off to a two and I 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.559 start Houston with a win last night over Chicago nineteen thirteen. 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.920 New Orleans two wins by sixty two points. The Saints 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.679 won in Dallas by twenty five. Alvin Kamara scored four touchdowns. 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.160 Minnesota is two and other an upset of San Francisco 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:30.199 Sam Darnold a ninety seven yard TD pass to Justin Jefferson. 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.439 Yankees finished the five and two home stand beat the 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.640 Red Sox five to two. Aaron Judge home run number 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.640 fifty three, Carlos Madoni's fifteenth win. Baltimore lost. Yankees are 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.440 three games ahead start a road trip tomorrow in Seattle. 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.480 The Mets lost in the bottom of the nineth thing 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:47.200 in the Philadelphia two to one. John Stashedward Bloomberg Sports Karen. 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:53.760 Nabe coast to coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on Sirius XM, 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.720 and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.000 Bloomberg Business app. 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.560 This is Bloomberg day Break. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.560 It is another stunning development in a presidential campaign that 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.480 has had more than its share of those. For the 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:10.120 second time this cycle, former President Donald Trump has been 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:13.040 the apparent target of an assassination attempt, this time at 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.000 his golf course in West Palm Beach. Rick Bradshaw's the 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:17.640 sheriff in Palm Beach County, Florida. 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.240 The Secret Service did exactly what they should have done. 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:23.360 They provided exactly what the protection should have been, and 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.520 their agent did a fantastic. 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.600 Job again Palm Beach Sheriff Rick Bradshaw. We are joined 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.920 now by Bloomberg News Senior editor Bill Good Morning. First off, 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.320 what is the latest that we know about this apparent 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:35.520 assassination attempt. 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.960 Well, what we've heard from Secret Service and the police 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.720 there in West Palm Beach was that, you know, the president, 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.480 former president was out on the golf course. They sent 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:51.160 per security measures, They had a Secret Service agent going 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:54.120 one hole ahead of him on the golf course. That 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:58.760 agent or those agents spotted a rifle getting poked through 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.120 a fence on the Para I of the golf course. 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:06.240 They quickly started firing in that direction. The person who 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:10.080 was there drop seemed to drop the weapon and run, 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:14.080 and they captured a fifty eight year old man named 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.600 Ryan Routh on the highway a little bit north of 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:21.720 West Palm Beach. They said he had scopes, he at 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.560 a go pro camera, things like that. We don't know 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:28.480 too many details about him at this point, other than 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.920 he is fifty eight years old. Appears to have been 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:36.760 living in Hawaii and has a long history of interactions 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:41.800 with law enforcement, including, according to NBC News citing court documents, 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.800 a conviction for having a machine gun at one point, 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.760 also charges for a hit and run. So someone who 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.360 has been known to law enforcement over the decades. On 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.720 social media, he seems to have been very agitated by 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.840 the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He did an interview with 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:02.040 The New York Times last year talking about how he 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:06.079 claimed to be trying to recruit foreign soldiers to go 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:12.040 fight on Ukraine's behalf there against Russia. So quite a 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.720 complicated history We're still waiting to see, you know, if 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:19.080 there's a mug shot and we get formal charges in this, 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.480 but it does seem like the Secret Service identified the 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:27.960 threat before that person was able to get too close 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:29.120 to former President Trump. 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.920 So Bill Ferries, as our senior editor for Bloomberg News, 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:37.400 I know you'll be assessing the potential political impact of 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:43.040 this latest incident involving former President Trump yet another attempt 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:47.520 apparently on his life. To put sort of a crass 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:50.600 point on it. Could this move the needle in the 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.520 presidential race with fifty days to go till the election. 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:58.960 Yeah, super volatile campaign even before this happened, this adding 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.720 another big very to it. We saw what was a 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.960 couple months ago on that first during that first assassination 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.400 attempt on Donald Trump, we did see him get a 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:12.120 little boost in support. This time, well, it'll take a 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.400 few days to see this time. It's a different campaign. 0:15:15.440 --> 0:15:18.400 It's a different race already, as crazy as it sounds 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.960 to say that, you know, obviously Kamala Harris is now 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:24.360 the candidate no longer Joe Biden. We don't so far 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.480 have a lot of video or photo footage of what 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.920 happened there at the golf course. We did have like 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:37.120 real time live television cameras rolling during the first assassination attempt. 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:42.800 I think the bigger political picture here, though, is this 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:47.520 does offer Donald Trump and the Republican Party a chance 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:51.360 to move on from the discussion that had been centered 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:55.760 on a relatively poor debate performance just less than a 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.920 week ago. A lot of the talk since then, of course, 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:04.760 is centered around Trump's comments about immigrants allegedly eating people's 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.960 pets in Ohio. That has not been a winning topic 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:13.400 for Republicans or former President Trump. This does allow them 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:16.840 to maybe shift the debate back to something that's perhaps 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.840 or more on their terms, like the economy, where voters 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:25.520 still give former president high mark. So that's probably one 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.560 of the bigger political impacts we'll see in the coming days, 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.240 whether there's also a bump in the polls, just like 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:34.760 a sympathy bump from this latest attempt on his life. 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.760 This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:41.400 the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.400 Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:48.160 Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:49.400 get your podcasts. 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.200 You can also listen live each morning, starting at five 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:54.840 am Wall Street Time, on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.720 in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington, 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.000 Bloomberg one six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg nine 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:02.480 sixty in San Francisco. 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:06.000 Our flagship New York station is also available on your 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:11.520 Amazon Alexa devices.
