Bloomberg Audio, Studios, Podcasts, Radio News. 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:11.559 Good Morning. 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.400 I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the 0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:18.560 stories we're following today. Karen, we begin with politics. Both 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:21.639 Republicans and Democrats are saying they are worried about the 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:26.360 potential for violence this election season. Bloomberg's Amy Morris reports 0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:27.080 from Washington. 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:31.120 The latest Bloomberg News Morning Consult poll finds half of 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:35.239 swing state voters say they're worried about violence surrounding the 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:40.160 presidential election. The poll results suggest Republicans, Democrats, and even 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:43.839 more independents have misgivings about how the race will be 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:48.320 received by a polarized electorate. Six and ten swing state voters, 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:53.760 mostly Democrats, are worried about misinformation, and almost half, mostly Republicans, 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:58.440 expressed similar concerns about foreign interference. In Washington, Amy Morris, 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.480 Bloomberg Radio, Thank you. 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.080 About Voters headed to the polls in four states for 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:07.560 primary elections in Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, and Oregon. But one 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.880 of the key races to watch was a special election 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.440 in California for former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's old seat. 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:16.880 State Representative Vince Fong won that race with about sixty 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:20.160 percent of the vote over fellow Republican sheriff Mike Boudreau. 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.280 That brings Republican slim majority in the House to two 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.600 hundred and eighteen. As for the presidential race, two states 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.840 held primaries at that level. Both President Biden and former 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:33.200 President Trump added to their delegate counts, but in Kentucky, 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.640 the president took just seventy one point three percent of 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.600 the vote. Seventeen point nine percent of Democrats voted uncommitted. 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.520 Biden fared veteran Oregon. He won there with eighty eight 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:46.040 point two percent. Former President Trump ran unopposed in Oregon, 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.840 and in Kentucky he won with eighty four point nine 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:49.840 percent of the vote. 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.200 As for Georgia Karin, the key races to watch there 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:55.200 were for the prosecutor and the judge in Donald Trump's 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.840 election interference trial, and they both came up winners. Bloomberg 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:00.520 zed Baxter has that part the story. 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.040 If Prosecutor Fannie Willis wins the general election in Atlantis 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.720 Fulton County, she will continue to prosecute the case. Willis 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:11.680 last year obtained a sprawling iracteuring indictment against Trump and 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.679 eighteen others Willis going in, had a very hefty fundraising 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.240 pot and has run on a campaign that the future 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:22.280 of the county should not be controlled by self interested politicians. 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:27.360 The county usually votes heavily Democratic. Judge Scott McAfee won 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:31.160 an uncontested race. He was randomly assigned to the Trump 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:35.000 case by the court. At Baxter Bloomberg Radio, all Right. 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.560 And thank you well, Donald Trump's defense team has rested 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.040 its case in his hush money trial, with the former 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.040 president opting not to testify. We get the latest at 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:45.320 Bloomberg's John Tucker, John, Good Morning. 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:45.680 And Karen. 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.000 His lawyers wrapped up their case after calling just two witnesses. 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.960 The question of whether Donald Trump would testify had been 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.880 hanging over the trial. He had said previously he would 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.799 take the stand. In the end, it's likely his attorneys 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:01.280 strongly advised him to avoid testify. Flying Well, the juris 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.720 have been sent home until next week. The judge Wan 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.959 Marachan told them to return on Tuesday for closing arguments, 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:10.960 and he expects they'll start deliberating Trump's fate the next day. 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.440 After four weeks, the panel has heard from over twenty witnesses, 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:18.000 including poor an actress Stormy Daniels, and the prosecution star 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:21.920 witness former Trump fixer Michael Cohen. The final witness for 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.160 the defense was a lawyer who was fiercely criticized by 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.440 the judge. As this case nears conclusion, Trump is facing 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:32.079 three other prosecutions in New York home John Tucker, Bloomberg 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:33.079 Radio and John. 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.560 One of those is in Florida, and there is movement there. 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:40.280 Prosecutors and defense lawyers in the classified Documents case are 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.320 do in court today for the first time since the 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:46.720 judge indefinitely postponed the trial earlier this month. US District 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.080 Judge Allen Cannon is scheduled to hear arguments on a 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.200 request from the former president to dismiss the indictment on 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.000 grounds that it fails to clearly articulate a crime and 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.120 instead amounts to quote a personal and political attack against 0:03:58.280 --> 0:03:59.040 President Trump. 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.440 Well, now turn to the market, Snathan and the big 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.480 earnings are port. Wall Street has been waiting for Ai 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.520 chipmaker and Vidia reports after the closing bell today on 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.440 Bloomberg's Tom Busby has a preview. 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:09.800 Well. 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:12.960 In Vidia has seen explosive growth in its data center 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.600 division and makes the H one hundred chip a so 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:19.320 called AI accelerator, at the heart of the burgeoning artificial 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.919 intelligence boom. It also recently announced a new platform called 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.279 Blackwell that promises to be even more powerful. One question 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.080 for investors, though, can it get enough supply from manufacturing 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:33.960 partner Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing to keep up with demand. Consensus 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.680 calling for total revenue of twenty four point sixty nine billion, 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.560 most of that from its data centers. Adjusted earnings per 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:44.040 share five dollars sixty five cents. Tom buzzby Bloomberg Radio. 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:45.520 All right, Tom, thank you, and as we wait, those 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.960 in Vidia earnings stocks as a whole stand at all 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.360 time highs. The S and P five hundred registered its 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:54.159 twenty fourth record close of the year. Max Kettner, chief 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:58.320 multi asset strategist at HSBC Global Research, tells Bloomberg that 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.000 earnings have been driving stuff. 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.919 Look at the U S for example, the average earnings 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.000 beat was around eight and a half to nine percent. 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.400 When we look at the ten year average from before 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:10.760 COVID that was just around four and a half percent. 0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:13.440 So we just came out of a reporting season where 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.560 you know, the average earnings beat was almost twice as 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:20.120 high compared to the pre COVID history like what's not to. 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:20.600 Like with that. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.600 HSBC's Max Ketner also says inflation is not yet fully 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:26.640 defeated and. 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.360 Nathan, that's a sentiment we are hearing more and more 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.520 from a course of Fed officials. Feder Reserve Governor Christopher 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.600 Waller says he needs to see more positive news on 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.520 inflation before cutting. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.680 Rates in the absence of significant weakening in the labor market. 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.640 I need to see several more months of good inflation 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.640 data before I would be comfortable supporting and easing in 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.320 the stance of monetary policy. 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:53.040 And Fed Governor Christopher Waller added that April consumer price 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:57.040 figures where a reassuring signal that price pressures are not accelerating. 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.560 Policymakers have not adjusted the benchmark interest right now at 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.040 a twenty three year high since July, Well. 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.800 Karen, Inflation is also in focus in Europe. Let's get 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:09.080 the latest done that with Bloomberg's un Potts in London, Ewan. 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.560 Nathan and Karen a sticky inflation shock for the Bank 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.359 of England. Consumer prices in the UK rows two point 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.080 three percent in the year to April, down from three 0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:20.760 point two percent the previous month. But that was a 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.960 smaller drop than expected and mostly due to falling household 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.920 energy bills. The core measure of inflation also dropped less 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.760 than expected, and services inflation, something the UK Central Bank 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.000 says it's watching closely well that barely budged, coming in 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.839 at five point nine percent. In London. I'm une Pots, Bloomberg. 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.560 Radio, rand you and thanks well. Barclays is the latest 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.120 firm that wants workers to return to the office.

Source to say 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:53.560 some managers have started warning employees to prepare to commute daily, and. 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:56.479 In another banking note, Karen, the UK has fined City 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.560 Group almost eighty million dollars for failures in its trading 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:03.000 systems and controls. In twenty twenty two, a London staffer's 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.360 fat finger trade caused a flash crash in European stocks. 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.440 The blunder sparked a five minute worldwide cell off, wiping 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:13.240 out three hundred and twenty six billion dollars at one point. 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.160 It's time now for look at some of the their 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.360 stories making news in New York and around the world, 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.239 and for that we're joined by Bloomberg so Michael Barr Michael, 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:24.080 good Morning. 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:29.160 Good morning, Karen. Norway, Ireland and Spain recognized a Palestinian state. 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:34.160 Today's historic move drew condemnation from Israel and jubulation from 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:39.680 the Palestinians. Israel ordered back its ambassadors from Norway and Ireland. 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:44.520 Israel's Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, says that Ireland and Norway 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:47.840 intend to send a message today to the Palestinians and 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:52.120 the whole world. Terrorism pays. Multiple people have died and 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.120 at least a dozen were injured since a powerful tornado 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:59.240 tour through a small Iowa town. The twister destroyed homes 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:03.840 and businesses, shredded trees, and smashed cars. The tornado destroyed 0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:07.280 much of the small Iowood town of Greenfield. Iowa State 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.480 Patrol Sergeant Alex Dinklink. 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.680 We're looking at just making sure that we have everybody 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:12.240 accounted for. 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:17.000 Tuesdays saw multiple tornadoes, giant hail, and heavy rain in 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:21.400 several states. The National Transportation Safety Board will help investigate 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.760 the sudden and severe turbulence that forced the emergency landing 0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.840 of a Singapore Airline's flight from London in Bangkok yesterday. 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.440 There is at least one death and dozens were injured. 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.120 This passenger was on the flight. 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.200 Honestly, I didn't understand at all the full scale of 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:42.719 what happened until we landed. The dents that were made 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.319 in the overhead large compartments, and all the additional kind 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:50.160 of paneling of heads that literally pushed through and broken 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:53.960 those classic panels, and there's blood today. 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:58.720 Singapore Airlines CEO Go Chun Pong says his company is 0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:00.800 deeply saddened by the tragedy. 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.640 A relief flight with one hundred and forty three of 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.679 the SQ three to one passengers and crew members who 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:12.480 are able to travel, lended in Singapore this morning. 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.080 It's believed the seventy three year old British Man who 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:19.000 died had a heart attack. The White House announced this 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:22.400 morning a new round of student loan forgiveness.

The administration went on to 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.080 say more than one hundred and sixty thousand borrowers will 0:09:36.120 --> 0:09:39.040 benefit from the latest package, valued at seven point seven 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.640 billion dollars. Global News twenty four hours a day and 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.960 whenever you wanted with the Bloomberg News. Now, I'm Michael Barr, 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.120 and this is Bloomberg Karen. 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:56.360 Michael, thank you time now for the Bloomberg Sports Update 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.240 with John Stashauer Junka morning. 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.600 Good morning, Karen, the Indiana Pacer I have already had playoff 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.800 upsets of the third seeded Bucks and the second seeded Knicks, 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:06.600 and now trying to knock off the top seeded Celtics 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.360 in the East Finals. Indiana nearly won the series opener 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.800 in Boston twice. Rallied back to a double digit deficit, 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.000 had the lead in the final minute of regulation, but 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.680 had two cost the turnovers and didn't foul. With a 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.040 three point lead, they let Jalen Brown hit a game 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.319 time three. Celtics won and over time one thirty three, 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.079 one twenty eight. Tonight at the Guard it's another East 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.040 Final Game one Rangers and the Florida Panthers, who also 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.520 got this far last year went on to the Stanley 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.400 Cup Final two years ago. In this round, Rangers won 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.880 the first two games, with Tampa Bay lost the next four. 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:38.840 Chris Prider remembered a. 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:40.760 Couple of years ago we were kind of running on fumes. 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:46.640 Two very emotional series, kind of coming from behind, and 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:51.120 obviously it was a fantastic experience. We really left that 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.720 all out there, but I think we we feel like 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:57.040 there's a whole other level to what we can do 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:57.400 this year. 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:00.440 Well, the second playoff series ever between these teams, the 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.800 other back in nineteen ninety seven. Yankees are the first 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.520 two game losing streets late April let the stadium Mariners 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.640 at four home runs two by Dylan Moore, beat the 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.360 Yanks sixty three flavor Torres three run shot for the 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.240 Yankee runs. Mets in Cleveland hit three homers but never led. 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.360 Came up short against the Guardian seven six. Red Sox 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.120 moves over five hundred and five to two win at 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.600 Tampa Bay Natural's loss of the Twins ten to nothing. 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:24.400 Philly's beat Texas moved twenty one over five hundred Rangers. 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:25.600 Sworez struck out ten. 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.280 He's nine to zero with a one point three six ERA. 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.280 Many have wondered why, with advanced technology, football games still 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.319 employ the old fashioned chain gang to determined first downs. 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.440 The NFL says it will experiment in the preseason with 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:41.120 an optical system and if it's successful, it will be 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.400 used permanently. There'll still be a chain gang, but only 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.480 as a backup measure. Johns Stash she Edward, Bloomberg Sports, 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:47.680 Gary all. 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.680 Right, John, thanks, So we have one other note on 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:53.520 the Yankees. Sources say businessman Ray Chambers is renewing efforts 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.439 to sell him minority stake in the ball club. Chambers 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.240 is seeking a buyer for the holding. Any Yankee Global 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.000 Enterprises is the Major League Baseball franchise's parent company. 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:09.280 Coast to Coast on Bloomberg Radio nationwide on Sirius XM, 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.360 and around the world on Bloomberg dot Com and the 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.839 Bloomberg Business app. This is Bloomberg Daybreak. 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:16.640 Good morning. 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:17.480 I'm Nathan Hager. 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.160 Let's get more now on our latest monthly Bloomberg News 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.040 Morning Consult, Swing State Pole what it says about the 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.480 mood of voters heading into a contentious twenty twenty four election. 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.000 For that, we are joined by Bloomberg News National politics 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:32.720 reporter Gregory Cordy. Gregory, Good morning. I guess first off, 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.560 I should ask you where things stand in this latest poll. 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.240 The dynamics changed in the seven swing states between the 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:39.880 president and former President Trump. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.840 Good morning, Nathan, Well, yeah, I think there's maybe just 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.840 a little bit of movement. You know, we this is 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.200 a monthly tracking poll, so we parse it for just 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.640 even microscopic moves, And what we see this month is 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:57.839 that President Biden probably has increased his standing just a 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.560 little bit with these swing state voters. Overall, if we 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:05.560 look across these seven swing states, that's Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.680 and North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. We look across those states, 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:12.880 we've gone from President Trump Foreign President Trump being up 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.560 by six points to now being up by only four. 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.400 And the states that we are looking at most closely 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:23.479 are those blue Wall states, those northern industrial states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.280 President Biden continues to be very competitive there. They're all 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:32.040 within a point or two. But Foreign President Trump continues 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.560 to lead in those other states in the Sun Belt, 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.880 except for Nevada. Nevada is the one sort of inscrutable 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:43.360 one state that we have this month. Trump was leading 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:47.120 by eight points last month now instead even there's a 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.319 high margin of error in that state, So not quite 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.160 sure how to interpret that. But overall, this is a 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:54.040 pretty good pall for Joe Biden if he's going to 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:54.560 make up ground. 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:56.840 In terms of the issues that we've talked about this 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.200 time around, we've gotten some pretty interesting insights about what 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.840 voters are concerned about heading toward November. 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:06.480 Yeah, you talk about the mood of the American people, 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:08.880 and I'd have to say the mood is somewhat anxious 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:14.040 about this election. Half of these swing state voters say 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:19.840 they're concerned about the possibility of violence in the November 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:24.400 election and its aftermath. You know, we've seen protests over 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.280 you know, Black Lives Matter over the past few years now, 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:33.360 pro Palestinian protests, but also of course January sixth, there's 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.160 a lot of concern that if the other half of 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.640 the country doesn't get its way, there could be violence, 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:46.640 but also fears about misinformation, disinformation, foreign interference, election fraud. 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.840 These are all sort of widely held, some more than 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.000 others by the American people, and it's just sort of 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:58.760 reflective of going into a very contentious and polarizing presidential election. 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.760 People sort of feel that tension. 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.160 Talking of the polarization, Greg Greed. Do those concerns cut 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:07.960 across party lines or are they felt more by one 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:08.760 side than the other. 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.760 What's interesting about that violence question is that they're felt 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:18.960 pretty exactly equally by both Democrats and Republicans, and interestingly, 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:23.120 independents who are seeing it on both ends have even 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.200 higher fears of violence on some of those other questions, 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:30.960 on foreign interference and on misinformation a little bit more 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:35.360 Republican or Democratic depending on the question. But yeah, these 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.920 are pretty broadly held fears across the American electorate. 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:41.080 This is Bloomberg day Break Today, your morning brief on 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:44.800 the stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.720 Look for us on your podcast feed at six am 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:51.480 Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, and anywhere else you 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:52.680 get your podcasts. 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.520 You can also listen live each morning starting at five 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.200 am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:01.640 in New York, Bloomberg ninety nine one in Washington, Bloomberg 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.680 one oh sixty one in Boston, and Bloomberg nine sixty 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:05.800 in San Francisco. 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.320 Our flagship New York station is also available on your 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:14.440 Amazon Alexa devices.
