John Stashed 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:54.559 wear Bloomberg. 0:11:54.200 --> 0:12:00.680 Sports Coast to Coast on Bloomberg Radio, nationwide on SEREA XM, 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.640 and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:08.000 Bloomberg Business app. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:08.720 Nathan Hager. 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:12.560 Night two of the Democratic National Convention saw Barack and 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:16.040 Michelle Obama energize the crown in Chicago with a rousing 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.840 endorsement of Kamala Harris and a warning about Donald Trump. 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:24.680 We do not need four more years a bluster and 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:29.959 bumbling and chaos. We have seen that movie before, and 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.360 we all know that the sequel is usually worse. 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:36.040 For more. 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.880 This morning, we were joined by Lindsay Newman, geopolitical risk 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:43.000 expert and calumnist for G zero Media. Lindsey, good morning. 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.840 We heard the Obamas sort of try to recapture that 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.880 energy from two thousand and eight. Can Kamala Harris carry 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:50.520 that forward? 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.760 Good morning morning, Nathan, Thanks for having me on you. 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.720 This week's Democratic National Convention, as you say, represents a 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:00.240 big test, and it's fair to say that Democrats have'sen 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.920 a massive reversal and fortune over the last month. By 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:05.840 most accounts, just about a month ago, six weeks ago, 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:10.599 Donald Trump was slow walking to that sequel in November 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:12.520 that we heard at the start here, and now the 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.600 storyline has totally changed. I've heard people reflect on what's 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.760 going on on the ground and the DNC as Democrats 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.920 having faced a near death experience, Harris now head to 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.439 head with Donald Trump. And of course, last night's theme 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.760 around a bold vision for America, as you say, was 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.800 headlined by the Obamas, who really wrapped Harris in this 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.760 brand of hope that was so powerful when Obama ran 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:34.839 for president in two thousand and eight the first time. 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.720 And Harris's campaign has to be thrilled with how well 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.320 the Obamas told it last night. You know, they contextualized 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:45.360 her this moment. They embraced Harris's candidacy, saying that Harris 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.360 is here for you. Michelle Obama said, the narrative is 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.959 about her story is your story, and so that was 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:54.880 a you know, this is a big moment for the 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:55.760 campaign last night. 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:57.400 I want to bring in a little bit more of 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.800 what the former First Lady had to say as well, 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.600 her warnings about the potential impact of former President Trump 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:05.000 on this race. Let's listen to that. 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.920 If they lie about her, and they will, we've got 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.679 to do something. If we see a bad poll, and 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:14.920 we will, we got to put down that phone and 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:16.160 do something. 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.520 Till now, there's been some downplaying of the idea of 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:24.520 a threat to democracy that former President Trump poses, at 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.720 least as the Democrats see it. What did you make 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:29.880 of the message from Kamala Harris last or I'm sorry 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:31.240 for Michelle Obama last night. 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.760 Well, one of the big storylines that Michelle Obama clearly 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:39.920 transmitted was that time is short. Barack Obama said, the 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:42.760 job is, there's a job to do. It's only eleven weeks. 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.840 Michelle said, you know, don't mind the foolishness if somebody 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:47.720 hasn't called you up and said register to vote and 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.120 get out to vote. It's time to do the work, 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.800 you know, to do something and can I just are 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:56.840 typically the sort of electrifying, unifying moments, but how well 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:00.960 Harris holds together this party, including around fault line issues 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.680 that are we're seeing along the sidelines Israel, Gaza, but 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:07.120 also really begins this final campaign push, you know, after 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.760 Labor Day, more eyes will be tuned in. Harris's fairy 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:13.000 tale summer may come to an end. Whether it's a 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:16.360 fairytale fall, we'll find out. But she's going to quickly 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.200 be taking that debate stage against Donald Trump. Voters are 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.840 going to be seeing her side to side, it's going 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.560 to become much more focused in on policy and nuts 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:28.000 and bolts. Barack Obama tried to sort of head this 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.000 off by saying in his speech, you know, it's not 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.520 really about policy or program, It's really more about what 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.120 we all yearn for this America that is returning to 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:36.880 America that. 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:37.640 They knew before. 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.600 But this is the reality of what lies ahead over 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:42.640 these next eleven weeks. 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.040 About thirty seconds left. What do you expect to hear 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:48.240 from Tim Waltz as he introduces himself to a national 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:48.960 audience tonight. 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:51.960 Yeah, as you say, tonight is about the fight for 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.680 our freedoms as the theme we have Waltz and Bill Clinton, 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:57.440 we expect to see more of what we've seen from him, 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:01.000 this sort of coach campaigner, a man, you know, the 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.840 guy next door that everybody's sort of excited about in 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.720 embracing and that comfort zone. And he's going to be 0:16:06.760 --> 0:16:08.400 a key surrogate for Harris. 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.680 This is Bloomberg Daybreak Today, your morning brief on the 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:15.120 stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.160 Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.920 Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:23.200 get your podcasts. 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.960 You can also listen live each morning starting at five 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.600 am Wall Street Time, on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:32.080 in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine one in Washington, Bloomberg 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.840 one oh six to one in Boston, and Bloomberg ninety 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:36.240 sixty in San Francisco. 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:39.760 Our flagship New York station is also available on your 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:45.280 Amazon Alexa devices.
