Bloomberg Audio Studios, Podcasts, radio news. 0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:11.880 Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager. 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.400 And and I'm John Tucker. Here are these stories we're following today. 0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:17.520 John, Let's begin with the presidential race and Elon Musk's 0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:21.000 latest effort to inject himself into it. The billionaire hosted 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:24.880 former President Donald Trump in an x spaces conversation that 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:28.120 lasted more than two hours. Once it started, the live 0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:31.840 stream was delayed more than forty minutes. Musk blamed hackers. 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:37.440 We unfortunately had a massive distributed Nilo service attack against 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:43.080 our servers. As this massive attack illustrates, there's a lot 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:47.800 of opposition to people just hearing what President Trump has 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:48.120 to say. 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:52.040 But once Elon Musk's conversation started with former President Trump, 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:54.320 he did have a lot to say about the attempt 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:57.680 on his life, about illegal immigration, and on the prospects 0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:59.320 of a wider war in the Middle East. 0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.840 We're all waiting for an attack from Iran. Iran would 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.560 not be attacking Believe me, you know when I was there, 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.200 and I say it with respect because I think we 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.200 would have been good with Iran. I don't want to 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.680 do anything bad to Iran, but they knew not to 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:14.760 mess around, and. 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.600 At one point Elon Musk pitched a role for himself 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.320 in a future Trump administration. 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:21.640 I think it'd be great to just have a government 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.840 efficiency commission that takes a look at these things and 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:30.400 just ensures that the taxpayer money, the taxpayers are harder 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:32.319 money is spent in a good way. 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.520 And I'd be happy. 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:36.600 To help out on such a commission. 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:37.360 I'd love if it were. 0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:39.560 Well, you you're the greatest cutter. 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.920 And Following the event, the Kamala Harris campaign released a 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.559 statement saying that the conversation showed Trump's campaign is only 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:49.200 about self obsessed rich guys who would sell out the 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:49.920 middle class. 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.360 They have plenty of reaction to the Trump Musk conversation. 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:57.520 Bloomberg Managing editor Derek Wallbanks says the confab was an 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:58.800 important one for Musk. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.400 If Donald Trump wins, Elon Musk has a lot at stake, 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.360 and if he loses, he had a lot of steak 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:10.640 as well. Musk's companies are tremendous US government contract holders, 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.600 particularly SpaceX. At the same point, Musk is also somebody 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.200 whose car company, Tesla, has a lot in terms of 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.880 tax plans and things like that that would be a 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.760 subject of a US administration. So Musk has, in addition 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.600 to his own ideological proclivities and alignments, he actually has 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.360 a lot at stake in this election. He's gone really, 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.040 really hard on one side, not hedging his bets at all. 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.920 Bloomberg's Derek Worldbanks says after the Trump conversation, Musk posted 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:41.480 that he'd be happy to host Vice President Harris on 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.280 X spaces. 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.200 Moving from the online realm to the real world John. 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.600 The FBI says it is investigating efforts to hack both 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.519 the Harris and Trump campaigns. Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has more. 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.040 The GOP says hackers attempted to get into Roger Stone, 0:02:57.080 --> 0:03:00.919 a former Trump advisor's account. The Harrow's campaign says some 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:05.920 Harris staffers were targets. The Washington Post first reported the attempts. 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.760 The Harris campaign itself says it does not appear to 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:14.000 be a victim. It says the campaign vigilantly monitors and 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:17.560 protects against cyber threats, and that it is not aware 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:22.480 of any security breaches. The Trump campaign hasn't responded directly, 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:23.600 Ed Baxter. 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:27.040 Bloomberg Radio thanks Ed, and the hack attempts come as 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.320 authorities say they're investigating a burglary at a Donald Trump 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:34.320 campaign office in suburban Virginia. Political reports that the local 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.400 sheriff's office released a surveillance video of a man inside 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.080 the building with what appears to be a full backpack. 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.600 The sheriff's department did not say what, if anything, was taken. 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:46.640 It's turned out to the latest in the Middle East. 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.680 John US officials now say an I running attack against 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:52.720 Israel has grown even more likely. We get details from 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.800 Bloomberg's Rosalind Matheson. 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:58.080 So they're publicly warning that some sort of retaliation from 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.640 around does seem to still be coming, because a lot 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.120 of people are asking the question as to if Iran 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.600 intends to retaliate for the death of this Hamas official 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.680 in Tehran two weeks ago, why have they not retaliated 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.280 and are they going to still retaliate, And what the 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.280 US is warning is that very much seems to be 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:17.440 in the ether for Iran to do something. And Tehran, 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.080 of course has been saying they feel obliged to retaliate 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.799 for this killing, which they blame on Israel, and Israel's 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.479 never claimed a responsibility for it, at least publicly. 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.880 Bloomberg's rise Mathieson says the last time Iran attacked Israel 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.960 back in April, it fired hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones, 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.080 almost all of which were intercepted. 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.360 And turning to the markets, stocks are up around the 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.920 world head of some key infliction data. Japan's Nike gained 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.520 three and a half percent and has now recouped its 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.400 losses from last week's we're out European averages in the 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.719 US future is also higher. Amanda Gatti, the chief investment 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.320 Officer of asset Management at P and C Bank, is 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.040 bullo shut stocks going forward thanks to earnings. 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.160 Expectations for earnings growth in twenty twenty five are near 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:03.040 fifteen per That's a huge number on a year over 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:06.359 year basis, and so while things may be choppy between 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.400 here and say the election or the results of the election, 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.400 we do think it will pave the way for some 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:15.960 additional momentum into twenty twenty five. So we're absolutely thinking 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.800 that we can finish the year fairly strong and set 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.839 the stage for a strong twenty twenty five as well. 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.800 P and C Samanda Ghani says the stock market right 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.159 now is price for perfection, and she's looking at fixed 0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:28.599 income in the short term. 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.480 Well John investors are going to get the first of 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:34.000 two key inflation reports this morning before the opening bell. 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.520 We get the July reading on producer prices. Economists are 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.960 forecasting a gain of two tens to one percent. We 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.120 get a preview from Bloomberg's Michael McKee. 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.000 For only the second time this year, the PPI report 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.320 will be released ahead of CPI. That could mean some 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.479 market volatility if there are any surprises in the data. 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.280 While changes in producer prices don't correlate directly to changes 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.800 in consumer prices, some investors may try to pre trade 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:03.279 the CPI given sensitivities around the FED and inflation. Could 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:07.159 there be a surprise Last month headline producer prices jumped 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.599 on an annual basis, although that move did not translate 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.920 into the CPI. Michael McKee Bloomberg Radio. 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.880 All right, thanks Mike, and the big inflation report comes 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.960 tomorrow with the July reading and consumer prices. Steve Shiverona 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.960 is the senior portfolio manager at Federated Hermes. 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.520 If the CPI is soft and that reinforces market expectations 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.839 of at least twenty five basis points, if not fifty 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.000 basis points of cuts in September, and the FED is 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.839 cooperative in terms of FED speak. I think the market 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.000 will get some comfort if, however, we have a weakening 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.720 of the labor force and we get a hotter than 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:47.239 expected CPI print this month, the market might be concerned 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.200 that the FED is stuck between a rock and a 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:49.760 hard place. 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.719 Frederated Hermie Steve Shivona. As that answer tomorrow's CPI data, 0:06:53.760 --> 0:07:00.320 all eyes will be on the next jobs report is 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.280 to five. Await on Wall Street time for a look 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:03.880 at some of the other stories making news in New 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.479 York and around the world, and for that we're joined 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.600 by Bloomberg's Michael Barr Michael, good Morning. 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.520 Good morning John. Ukraine's top military commander says his forces 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.920 now control three hundred and eighty six square miles of 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.080 Russia's neighboring Kirsk region. It is one of the most 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:24.360 serious incursions Russian President Vladimir Putin has faced since the 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.679 start of the war. Putin vows a strong response after 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.080 almost a week of fearce fighting. Meanwhile, the State Department 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.040 says the US is aware of reports that Iran is 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:38.120 planning to deliver ballistic missiles to Russia. During a State 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.640 Department briefing, spokesman van At Patel says, the US it's 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:47.200 concerned about the quote deepening security partnership between Iran and Russia. 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.480 It is not just a threat to European security, it's 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.560 a threat to Middle East security. But it's also shows 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:58.880 that Iran's destabilizing influences has reached beyond the Middle East region, 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.600 and that would be should you have concern to the 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:02.360 entire world. 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.280 State Department spokesman ven At pattel it's a setback and 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:10.000 Robert F. Kennedy Junior's presidential bid. A judge in Albany, 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:12.440 New York ordered him off the ballot in the state, 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.800 a Democrat and line group arguing in a lawsuit that 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:19.400 Kennedy misled voters by the listing as his home and 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:24.640 address he rarely visits. Meet the new FDNY Commissioner. Mayor 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.840 Eric Adams appointed Robert Tucker, the head of a private 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.000 security firm, to lead New York City's Fire department. 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.680 Public safety has been my life's work. 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.520 I've had a long career in the public and private sector, 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.960 and being appointed Fire Commissioner of the City of New 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.200 York is the biggest Honor of my life. 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.120 Tucker, who is fifty four, takes over from Laura Cavanaugh, 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:51.280 the first woman to serve as the city's fire commissioner. 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:55.240 Like Kavanaugh, Tucker has never worked as a firefighter.

The center was in Highland Park, north 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.880 of LA where there was another earthquake in June.

We didn't hit fall out of the ballpark, 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.679 and they couldn't stop them. 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:20.400 Mets were off. 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.840 They fell a game behind Atlanta when the Braids won 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.200 one nothing at San Francisco, seven scoreless sittings for Chris Sale. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:27.040 He struck out twelve. 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.400 Sale as the lowest cra in the National League. 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.800 Jets been a big offseason trade with Philadelphia. The acquired 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.000 Hassan Raddick fifty sacks the last four seasons, fourth most 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.000 of the NFL, but he's going to last year of 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.120 his contract.

Former 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.760 President Donald Trump's latest effort to reframe the twenty twenty 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.920 four races being posted on x The former president held 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:32.360 a more than two hour conversation with Elon Musk that 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.200 touched on many of the themes from his campaign rallies, 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:36.680 including on the war in Ukraine. 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:42.160 Ukraine now doesn't have enough men. They're now using young 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:46.440 men and very old men to fight, and we're in 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:50.520 a very bad position. And I'm not going to blame exclusively, 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.719 but I can tell you I could have stopped that, 0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:55.240 and a smart president could have stopped that. 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.880 It wouldn't have happened. That's just part of the conversation 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:00.720 with former President Trump and Elon Musk last night on 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.800 X spaces. Joining us now for more this morning is 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:08.920 Tina Fordham, Founder and geopolitical strategist at Fordham Global Foresight. Tina, 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.720 good morning. So we're talking about this conversation this morning, 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:13.760 our voter is going to be talking about it beyond 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:14.319 this week. 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:19.600 Well, that's the right question. We had a two hour 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:25.840 plus unplugged conversation between two of the most influential people 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:29.400 in the world. Your clip there just highlighted one of 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.960 the things that kept distracting me, which was the weird 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.360 speech impediment list being going on. Was somebody forget to 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:39.680 put his dentures in, But will it move the needle 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:43.240 on the polls? And on that front, I think it's 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:48.800 net neutral right preaching to the choir to perhaps slightly. 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:52.840 Negative just to play Devil's advocates. Some of that lisp 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:57.920 could be attributed to the glitchiness in the conversation the 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:02.040 limitations of did you live stream? But I mean this 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.520 conversation took forty minutes to get started because of the glitches. 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.400 Could that be a potential setback? 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:16.000 Well, I mean it doesn't look great for Musk's space platform, right, 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.600 it's X spaces and the forty minutes he said it 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:24.400 was a denial of service. Recall that the Florida Governor 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.120 Santis had similar problems when he tried to launch a 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:31.960 campaign event. These contribute to people's perceptions of organization. But again, 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:36.160 you know that audience was almost certainly the choir, and 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.080 they would have been coming to hear their heroes. So 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:43.560 I'm not sure it damages them too much because I'm 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.400 not sure that people who were undecided were. 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.200 Joining that call. Yeah, I wanted to get to that 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:54.480 weather a conversation on X would get more outreach beyond 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.760 you know, some of the super fans that are now 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.560 dominating much of the conversation on X now that Elon 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:05.240 Musk has taken over. Do you see the former president 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:10.360 reaching out beyond some of his base in a conversation 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:10.760 like that. 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.120 Well, I don't think this medium will have done that, 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.480 at least not the live conversation. Of course they can 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.360 cut it up into clips. But what I'm already seeing 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:26.320 from the Harris campaign is, you know, their social media 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:32.520 campaign is very slick, and so they are releasing mini clips, 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.160 you know, the ones that are obviously the seem the 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:41.320 most disadvantaged to Trump. And their press release this morning said, 0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:45.120 you know whatever that was, So it's you know, it's 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:51.240 fodder for the opposition as well. Listen, this was no 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:56.280 Frost Nixon conversation. It wasn't particularly hard hitting, and we 0:14:56.400 --> 0:15:00.960 had Trump, you know, doing Trump saying things like climate 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:07.280 change will have this positive byproduct of more ocean front property, 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:11.600 and that he would go to Venezuela if he lost 0:15:11.640 --> 0:15:12.320 in the election. 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:17.920 Is that a vote winner? That prepackaged sort of slick 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:21.480 response from the Harris campaign. Couldn't it feed into some 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.360 of the criticism that the Trump campaign has put out 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:27.560 there that Harris hasn't made herself available for these kinds 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:31.320 of free, willing conversations. I mean, after the live chat 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.160 last night, Elon Musk invited Kamala Harris to come on, 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:34.720 should she. 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:39.600 Well, both sides are staying in their comfort zones. I 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.480 think we can say that, so Harris and Walls are 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.840 out talking to huge campaign rallies, but as you say, 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.800 haven't done any press conferences or one to one interviews 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:53.600 and have only well it's only been a few weeks, 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.560 of course, but they've only just now started releasing anything 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:01.760 resembling policy positions. Trump, for his part, has a very 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:05.280 light schedule of campaign events. He has almost none between 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:09.280 now and US Labor Day, and conversations like this are 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:13.200 almost like an online rally. So are both of them 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:16.120 keeping their powder dry? I think that's the way of 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:20.440 thinking about it, because the next big signpost for the 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:25.920 two campaigns is the September tenth, the first debate between 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.280 the two of them from second to date, and Harris 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.880 has got the DNC started on the fifteenth. 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.120 This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.720 the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.320 Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:45.120 Eastern each morning, on Apple's Spotify and anywhere else you 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:46.280 get your podcasts. 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.200 You can also listen live each morning starting at five 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.840 am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.800 in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine to one in Washington. 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.080 Bloomberg one six to one in Boston and Bloomberg ninety 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.000 sixty in San Francisco. 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.320 Actually at New York.
