Transcripts For BLOOMBERG With All Due Respect 20160616

Women taken from us, those who love them, we see some of the true character of this country, the best of humanity come roaring back. The love and compassion and the fierce resolve that will carry us through not just this atrocity, but through whatever difficult times may confront us. It is our pluralism and our respect for each other, including the young man who said to a friend he was super proud to be latino. Our love of country, the patriotism of an army reserv ist who was known as amazing officer. It is our unity, the outpouring of love that so many across our country have shown to our fellow americans who are lgbt. A display of solidarity that might have been unimaginable even a few years ago. Moments,is darkest of that gives us hope. Reflect, seen peoples best instincts, and out. Peoples best instincts come out. Maybe some peoples minds and hearts change. It is our strength and resilience. The same determination of a man who died here, who traveled the world mindful of the risks as a gay man, but who spoke for all of us when he said we cannot be afraid, we are not going to be afraid. May we all find that same strength in our own lives. Wisdomall find that same in how we treat one another. May god bless all of who we lost here in orlando. May he comfort their families. May he heal the wounded. Solace tong some those whose hearts have been broken. May he give us resolve to do reduce theessary to injured of this world, to curb the violence. May he watch over this country that we call home. Everybody. Ery much, that was president obama speaking at a makeshift memorial erected in orlando to victims did he was speaking about how the gun control debate needs to change. Grieving families dont care about the politics and neither do i. Says that the shooting for the idea that if the shooting victims had been armed with guns, they would have been able to defend themselves somehow, said that we will be relentless against the Islamic State but it will take more than our Intelligence Community to come at these home grown threats like we have seen in orlando and San Bernardino before that. He says that if you have lone wolf attacks like this, free will have to take different kinds of steps. Finally, he pleaded for congress to consider guncontrol measures that would limit access to these highpowered military style weapons. Andad comforted survivors families of the victims of last weeks massacre of the nightclub. Lets get back to markets and the global economy, and look ahead to what we can anticipate tomorrow. Joe, when you look at the calendar for tomorrow, to wrap up this volatile week, you are looking at housing in terms of economic data. Joe from a market perspective, brexit will continue to dominate the conversation. We will get Housing Starts and if you have a chart here going back to 1996, it puts perspective on where we have come on this measure. If you look at the precrisis level, closer to 1. 5 million houses every year. We are nowhere near that still. We have come back quite a bit commodities they come from the depths of it, but there has been this belief that we are significantly under house relative to demographic needs, saw due to the fact that we this huge plans. There were going to be more houses. Homebuilders have talked about a lack of labor being a challenge. Scarlet construction workers being difficult to find. Joe absolutely. Wages have accelerated. If you are an economic bowl this is probably one of the reasons you are optimistic. Scarlet in fact, the Federal Reserve made reference to housing, saying it is fairly positive even though the overall assessment of the economy is mixed. And when you think of housing from the standpoint of the financial crisis it was asset india i have that crisis. Arefact that Housing Starts back above the historic one million mark and has been solidly so for more than a year, that is really positive. Also look at building permits. In have been on a bit of a downward trend but were looking at 1. 3 bump up for the month of may. That is another positive because it is forwardlooking. Another little positive. Scarlet what always fascinates me about this discussion on housing is we look at Housing Starts as a barometer for the economy because he doesnt so it does so much to gdp. You talk about adding jobs come the industries it affects. When you look at the Housing Market in the united states, it is about existing home sales. That is the lions share of what is in transactions. Joe Housing Starts is always going to be a marginal, the swing, marginal production. From a gdp standpoint, Housing Starts on the name of the game because that actually creates selld for people who washing machines and employ the builders and the lumber companies and everything. Next week we will get existing home sales and that is also important. It is from a pure Economic Growth standpoint. Housing starts also from the confidence standpoint. Of course, the American Dream to own and build a home really plays into that. Seeing a recovery there really helps to boost confidence. Even the average american street. , beyond wall scarlet tomorrow, ecb president mario draghi will be speaking in munich. You wonder if he will make any references to brexit, because sure, the Brexit Debate has weighed on the pound, dragging it lower. At the same time, it also has still of spillover effects on the euro. We saw it took a big, big dive today. Joe absolutely. Everybody wants that story to be over. Scarlet that is all for whatd you miss today. With all due respect with mark how and John Heilemann is up next. John today president obama and Vice President biden went to orlando to pay respects to the victims of the nightclub shooting. It was a scene of bipartisanship airresident obama exited force one with marco rubio and councilman corey graham. Obama they are our family. They are part of the american family. Today the Vice President and i told them on behalf of the American People that our hearts are broken, too. John back in washington, the fight over guncontrol continues. After a 15hour sylvester democrats staged on the senate floor yesterday seemed to have worked. Willmendments, which likely be voted on monday, what extent back on checks and are suspected terrorists from purchasing firearms. In a toughicans place rob portman of ohio, kelly ayotte of manager, and pat toomey of pennsylvania have indicated a willingness to compromise. Then the fact that democrats are in this unusual circumstance, presented nominee in Hillary Clinton who is clearly going to make guncontrol big part of her campaign at the president ial level in a way that no nominee has in a long time, what do you think of what weve seen from her and how things are shifting around this week, what do you think this portends for down ballot races, senate races, house races, for the guncontrol debate . What effect might it have in those races . Alex i think we have already seen an enormous amount of concerted coordination between the upper levels of the Democratic Party any foot soldiers on trial. I think you will and the foot soldiers on truck. As much as you say this is a story that keeps happening, the umpteenth time the president has had to eulogize the victims and families, this feels different, because of a broad sense of frustration around gun safety reform did safety reform. This has always been a political issue but it will be very much a Campaign Issue in a coordinated fashion through the end of the year. John one of the things that has really changed here Hillary Clinton has clearly detected not just in the democratic nomination fight but also up general election level, that she thinks that guncontrol is a winning issue for her. That is a big change. The other thing that has changed and i think orlando has changed in a specific way, now the question of when control is linked to terrorism in a way it has never been before. It started with San Bernardino, but this is the new thing. One doesnt ever like to talk about who wins or loses politically from these horrible atrocities. But in this case, if you are for guncontrol, the extra argument that, hey, if you are against gun control you are on the terrorists. It becomes another card that can be played. I think democrats in places like pennsylvania, ohio, New Hampshire, maybe even arizona race, i take ain lot of the Democratic Senators will start to make this argument and put those republicans in a difficult position if they are not going to at least make some nods towards being able to talk about make some nods as far as changing the laws, at least for Something Like allowing people the people weapons who have been on the nofly list. Alex sure, and you are right to note that this conflates two issues. The other issue it conflates is gayrights and the lgbt movement has been powerful and effective not just lobbying efficacy in american politics. They are fired up about this issue. Third, triangulated dynamic to this bit one that does not play as well down ballot but you could talk about the national race, another reason for Hillary Clinton to wrap her arms around the issue in orlando in particular, that certainly is a deciding factor. Have all become, with good reason, skeptical to the point of cynical about the ability for the gun control debate to change because the power of the nra. We saw after sandy hook there was so much effort put into changing the gun laws, so much concerted action on part of the president and Vice President , everybody. And yet nothing happened. I think to go back to this first point, this is a different moment and it is different precisely because of the scale of the atrocities so great, greatest mass shooting in american history, and there is this other element when there is a jujitsu think the democrats can do because of the link to terrorism. Especially the Clinton Campaign, especially if the composition of the senate and house change, we could finally be there were at least some modest gun control could actually happen. Probably not next week or the week after, but maybe a year from now . Alex speaking of Hillary Clinton, she rolled out her first tv ad of the general election season with spots on the air in 18 general election states ranging from divine and a New Hampshire to florida and ohio. Both ads are part of a 7 million buy over the next six weeks and focus primarily on clintons biography, especially for advocacy on behalf of children and families. Here is one that takes a look at her tenure as first lady decades ago. For hillary, it has always been about kids, and when millions couldnt get health care, this first lady worked with republicans and democrats to fix it, creating the Childrens Health insurance program. So that every child gets the health care that child deserves to have. Now 8 million kids are covered. That is the kind of leader she is in the kind of president she will be. Abouthere is another ad clintons more recent international work. Shehe secretary of state stood up for American Values around the world, working to end the trafficking of women and girls. Through the years there have been challenges, setbacks, but for hillary, one things never changed, helping children has been a cause of her life. Clinton has spent the last weeks going after chung, arguing he is unfit to be commanderinchief and that his presidency would be dangerous to the nations severity. Ofn during this period heightened concern about terrorism, the campaign is spending serious cash on a soccer message will stop why is clinton going positive and how effective do you think it can be . John well, the Clinton Campaign clearly believes that there is a lot of conventional wisdom that if Hillary Clinton can make this a referendum on donald trump, she went straight the Clinton Campaign is not believe that. They believe that making it a referendum on donald trump is a key component of winning but that is not enough. It was not enough when president obama did the same thing to mitt romney four years ago. She has got to provide a palatable alternative, even if they destroyed trump. She has high negatives. She is not a very popular person in the country. If she wasnt running against donald trump, all we would be talking about is how unpopular hiller is an her weaknesses. She needs to push those positives up so it is a choice and actively about trump. Alex when i saw it i thought it was such a targeted message to women in particular. She is clearly speaking to i thought even moderate women. I think she thinks she can make huge inroads to republican women given the tenor of the Trump Campaign and his unfavorables among women. John i think that is entirely true and i think there is definitely an attempt to widen the gender gap and capitalize on that. The other thing that is true is that Donald Trumps negatives are so high it is hard to imagine them being much higher than they are. When youre unfavorables are 70 and you are in the trouble he is in, the reason you do negative ads is to drive up the other candidates unfavorables. These are almost at the theoretical limit. There are at least 30 of hardcore republicans who will vote for trump no matter what. Are you going to spend millions of dollars to push up the guys negatives . Alex its done. John done for now and it was more work to do on the side. Alex there is a concerted ad buy across major markets and it is a message you would never see from the Trump Campaign. You are struck by the contrasting Campaign Styles and possibilities. It is hard to imagine the Trump Campaign releasing an analog ad. John virginia, 1. 6 million. Ohio, 1. 3 million. Iowa, under 1 million, but still big numbers. Florida, north carolina, nevada, 7 million in total. You know how that is matched in by the Trump Campaign in those states . Nil, zero. Get himparity, cannot not being on the air in battleground states, could harm him severely by the end of the auction bid coming up, more on the president s trip to orlando and we will talk to Bernie Sanders Campaign Manager jeff weaver. Obama now, if we are honest with ourselves, if in fact we want to show the best of our humanity, then we are all going to have to Work Together at every level of government, across political lines, and do more to stop killers who want to terrorize us. John welcome back. That was more for president obamas remarks today in orlando, where he met with families of the victims of sundays shooting. We have seen president obama in this setting so many times now, tragically, obviously. What do you think about what is going through his mind now . Ominously, there is a great sense of sadness and frustration what whenissue, he has to go into this again, what kind of psychic toll do you think that takes on a president . President . Alex this president said the hardest day of his presidency is when he had to meet with the families of the new town shooting. There have been a lot of our days in his presidency. When you talk about the psychic toll, these are the most trying times for this president , going in the room, as he always does, to meet with families and talk about their dead children, which is not a test any president wants to do. The sheer number of times he has had to do it is tragic in itself. This moment is probably different in that he is looking at the rest of his presidency and is fairly resigned to the fact that nothing real is likely to happen on the National Level when it comes to gun safety. And then a that is cause for not just frustration for probably some measure of anger. John when mark and i wrote aboute down we talked this moment as he was getting ready to run for reelection in and and talk to his aides stuff that he felt bad about, was self critical, issues that he had not done enough, in his judgment, on in the first term, stuff like Climate Change and global warming, samesex marriage. Another was gun control. He was able in the second term to move the ball or at least come to the position that he genuinely believe on many of those issues. For instance, Climate Change, where he got the climate deal done. Samesex marriage, where he came around eventually before the end of 2012. I think in some ways this is not just frustrating for him, but he will affect that this was the that ine, gun control, his first four years, he may not have been able to do anything about it, but it was a place that he genuinely believed he didnt really campaign on in 2008 and didnt try to do anything about in the first four years. Obviously, that has changed after sandy hook. But it is still something he will kind of regret how he handled it. And if you talk about the divorce and the sadness he feels, there is certainly the issue, but there is also the dynamic of parents who have lost their children. He was in orlando today with joe biden and it was noted by some was moreess that there of an emotional contact between the president and Vice President , and understandably so, given the fact that joe biden has of course lost his own son. John lets go quick to chris nbcen chris jansing, senior white house correspondent. Give us a sense of what this day was like from what it is like on the ground there. Point, theink alexs president spoke for 17 minutes after meeting with the families, he said their grief is beyond description. He talked about the father of an 18yearold girl and what a Bright Future she had it you can just imagine for joe biden as well who lost his own son beau, so close to him. After talkingly, about what this has meant, we are all part of this family, he turned to the politics of it. He said many of these family members were pleading with him to get something done and see that this doesnt happen again and you have it in a situation where clearly, as you pointed out, he has been frustrating, especially in the aftermath of new town. We saw him emotional just a couple days ago that some of these legislative initiatives have died, and now they are back in the forefront in the middle of a hotly contested political season. He has six months left. He also has high approval ratings. And he found it not just frustrating but that she sounded not just frustrated but determined, clearly walking that line of political leader but oler in chief. John chris, we have about 20 seconds. Does the white house think there is any chance something will move on capitol hill on this issue or are they resign . You talk tonk when them and are honest moments, they dont give it a whole lot of chance. But i will say that i spoke to the data of one of the victims in columbine who pulled me that after san bernadino, you will at some point instead of weariness 30s accumulative affect of people just there is accumulative effect of people just saying enough. There is any hope that they feel like it has had to happen quickly. Thank you. Jansing, coming up, Bernie Sanders Campaign Manager jeff weaver.

Isn tonight Bernie Sanders delivering an online video address his millions of supporters across the country. It is a speech he is d ubbing the Political Revolution continues. Joining us is Sanders Campaign manager jeff weaver. Great to be with you, or to have you. Hi, how is it going . Jeff doing well, things are going great. John fabulous. Can you gives a preview of what senator sanders is likely to say other than the Political Revolution continues . Jeff it is a continuation of what he said on sunday when he met with prominent supporters and surrogates talking about how we move a Progressive Agenda forward, how would transform america. His president ial campaign is and always has been about how we transform america, not really about him. I started to work with him 30 years ago this month, and he was saying the same thing then that he says now and he will be saying it, god willing, 30 years from now. How we move forward now to create the kind of progressive change we need is really the challenge. That is what he is talking about tonight. John again, understanding all of that, tangible steps she is going to lay out he is going to lay out . Jeff i think he will. This is an opportunity for them to talk to the millions and millions of people who voted for him directly unfiltered. I think it will be a very positive and uplifting speech, and i think well received by the people who worked hard on this campaign and supported him. Alex jeff kamal expecting her here. Can you tell us a little jeff, alex wagner here. Can you tell us more about the meeting between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton and anything that transpired that might move senator sanders closer to endorsing Hillary Clinton . Jeff well, i think it was a very positive meeting, very cordial. Of course, the two of them know each other, they served in the senate together. There was a lot of substance, talk about substantive policy issues. They are both kind of wonkish, frankly, and they talked about issues where they are close and some of the issues where they are not so close. It focused much more on substantive policy that process issues. Although there was talk about reforming the electoral process, reforming the Democratic Party, and making it more inclusive and broadening its base. John jeff, one of the things you will have been saying and senator sanders has been saying pretty consistently since the days of voting stopped in the democratic nomination fight is that you were going to continue the campaign on to the convention. Just tell me, what does that mean . Is, well, what it means look, there is a Progressive Agenda he laid out. The country has a lot of needs. Those needs have not changed just because the voting has stopped. His lifes work has been to advance those agenda items, dealing with income inequality, dealing with a corrupt Campaign Finance system, Getting Health Care to everybody, making the country a more fair and equitable place. Those issues still exist. And the needs and desires of the people who supported him and the people who didnt support him still exist. He is going to continue working on that through the convention. John jeff, does he intended to challenge her of the convention, or are you just talking about him continuing to advocate about the issues he has always cared about . There is a lot of vagueness in continue my campaign until the convention. Is he still tried to win the democratic nomination . Jeff well, i think you will see of the convention we will have a unified party coming out of it, there will be discussion of the substantive issues including the issues that separate the candidates. This is an opportunity for those issues to be aired and for the rankandfile of the Democratic Party to adjust positions. John jeff, his campaign was to win the democratic nomination. Is he Still Campaign to win the democratic nomination or not . Jeff welcome he still is a candidate for the democratic nomination. Alex is the Campaign Making calls to superdelegates . Are not currently lobbying superdelegates, we are not,. John do you have any extrication you will start lobbying superdelegates . Jeff i do not anticipate that will start anytime soon. John go ahead. Debbie Wasserman Schultz going to remain head of the Democratic National committee . Jeff you saw it widely reported that there is a new chief of staff daytoday operations. That is a positive step forward. As you know, our campaign and millions of supporters have felt that debbie Wasserman Schultz has not been an honest broker in this process, that she has led to more division in the party. Is really not in the position to offer the leadership we need to bring the Party Together in the fall. Alex is that a yes or a no . Jeff [laughs] i dont know if she will remain on as a titular head or not, but the fact is that the daytoday operations have been put in 70 elses hands is a positive sign for the party. John wait a second, are you trying to say that the move means that debbie Wasserman Schultz is no longer the effective chairwoman of the Democratic National committee . Jeff well, i just read the News Coverage and i cannot tell you more than that. But he did say that data the operations have been turned into something else. John let me put it this way you guys have sent in the past that one of the conditions presented are centers ultimately endorsing secretary clinton is that debbie Wasserman Schultz be removed, correct . Jeff well, he certainly has advocated for her removal. Right, so is that part actually, the precursor question from israel removal part of what he wants in order to eventually come around to support and secretary clinton, yes or no . Well, i wouldnt draw the connection points or directory but he articulated in his press conference, the first item he talked about was the chairwomans leadership and the fact that in order to bring this Party Together, we need leadership at the dnc that can it that can unite the party, that is not seen as divisive, and that can do what needs to be done to have harmonious convention. John does a new chief of staff satisfy you . If there is a new chief of staff handling daytoday operations, you dont mind if she stays as titular head of the party . Jeff we would prefer that she be removed or step down. I think this point that is the best course for the party. I find it hard to believe that at the convention there wont be hundreds for a couple thousand people booing when she comes on stage, despite our efforts to make sure that doesnt happen. Alex is the removal of debbie Wasserman Schultz more or less important than the reformation of the nomination process, the democratic session superdelegates, the light . Jeff well, they are all important, and superdelegates is an incredibly important issue and it is all part of parcel of transforming the Democratic Party. He needs to be opened up, he needs to have a grassroots focus , and debbie Wasserman Schultz is not really the person to do that. John jeff, let me put it to you this way. There are a variety of things that you guys are for. There is things on policy where you have differences with secretary clinton. There is things in the platform. There is process reforms, including sameday registration, open primaries, and of superdelegates. Are all of those and my describing all of those things do you, is it fair to say that those are all things you are trying to negotiate with the Clinton Campaign as some kind of package that would lead senator sanders to endorse secretary clinton a . Jeff i think it is fair to say that all those issues are under discussion at the campaign, the staff level and the other night among the principals. Yes, we are discussing those issues. John right, but you are saying that not all of them are nonnegotiable obvious the, you are in negotiations. But if secretary clinton gives on some of those issues and you guys find a mutually agreeable set of concessions, so to speak, that that will then leads to senator sanders endorsing secretary clinton before the convention . Is that true or false . Jeff i wouldnt describe them as concessions. What i would say that almost 12 Million People voted for Bernie Sanders, he won 23 contests. There is a huge part of the Democratic Base that supported his agenda and the reforms that he wants to enact, and i think it is best for the party if the Clinton Campaign acknowledges that reality and reaches out to those voters with tangible, concrete changes that will let those people know that their voice has been heard in this process. John let me remove the word concessions and come back to the original question. If you guys reach a package of changes, some of which she will agree to, some of which she may not agree to again, not suggesting you are saying all of these are nonnegotiable, you must have xyz, but if you guys reach an agreement on some changes taking place, the result of that will be senator sanders endorsing secretary position before the convention, yes or no . Jeff well my would say that the party will be unified. Senator sanders has always said he would support the democratic nominee. So i think after that conversation, both with the Clinton Campaign and with our supporters, we would like to get to a place where we could very actively support the nominee. John right, and that nominees secretary clinton in this case . Youhave basically conceded, are not switching superdelegates was, you are not you have no plans to do that, and you are try to get to the point where you can be behind her . Jeff well, certainly she has been called the presumptive omni by the media, that is for sure. John um [laughs]. Ut im asking you, jeff jeff i know you are. John you are not doing the things that would be required to make him the nominee, ie flipping superdelegates, and you have a set of negotiations that you are essentially think are a price for his support. Is there is there anything i said you know that is untrue . Jeff i think it speaks for itself, john. Alex jeff, the Clinton Campaign how would you characterize the relationship between the two campaigns at this point . Jeff oh, i think the relationship is very good. Staff contacts have been frequent and friendly. I think we are digging down into the weeds on a number of issues. The meeting between the senator at the secretary was very good. I think people are working together because they understand that we need to defeat donald trump in the fall. That is in imperative. John jeff, thank you for coming on, thank you for making, i believe, a little bit of news. Jeff i dont think i made any news. I never make news. John thats all you ever do is making news you also look for markedly healthy. I dont know if that is tan or good length. Jeff good lighting. Jeff no makeup. Alex i will have what hes having. John coming up, the one and only dancing or, informal advisor to paul ryan, talking about donald trump after this word from our sponsors. Right here with us in studio we have dan senor, informal advisor to paul ryan and others, and alex conant. Alex has been waiting to see you all day long. Alex i needed another alex as backup. John we were speaking of paul ryan and i thought in an informed way that the speaker was leaving the door wide open dan wide open. John two rescinding his adjustment of donald trump. Is that true . To saythink it is safe that a lot of Republican Leaders are not terribly enthusiastic about the reboot of the trunk candidacy over the last few days , and so they are being reserved in how they express their enthusiasm about his candidacy. Whether he is leaving the door open a little bit, a lot, not at all, not to speculate. Im just telling you im not surprised by how restrained you are hearing john but you know the speaker pretty well. Do you think there is a live option . Dan not now. I take him at his word. John i understand my understandin i understand, i understand. Dan he said it is not something i intend to do so it is not he is contemplating. Theyhave endorsed trump, are concerned about his campaign and the down ballot collateral damage. Alex w. are they concerned about the damage a trump endorsement might wreak on their own personal fortunes . Paul ryan is seen as the hope of the party in 2020 and beyond. Are they making a personal calculation . Dan at this point in terms of how to think about trump, ive talked to him quite a bit. Im very critical of trump and what i say is not reflective of what he thinks. But one of the factors for him is that he believes if House Republicans are divided, it would even if they think that things trump is it saying are reprehensible, it would do more damage to the chances of republicans taking the majority that if they were at work at each other over trump. John alex conant, not alex wagner, do you think the republicans have reached the conclusion ive heard you saying that trump needs to change, the more president ial. Have you given that up now . [laughter] john a lot of republicans are saying that is a lost cause. Alex c. losing hope is probably the right way to look at it. Donald trump, he is going to win this fall, needs to have a Campaign Around in the heat circuits he needs circuits for his message against the clinton machine. It is troubling that we are not taken affirmative steps towards putting together the kind of campaign he needs not just to win but just to have it be close this fall. The trajectory in the polls is very troubling and if i am donald trump, im worried about it. Alex w. but, alex, when we hear party elders and strategists and related folks saying that trump needs to get on message and do needsne might say trump described things and do several other things that will never naturally have been given this master jeffrey s far as this man this mans trajectory best part. What reason is there to hope that he will do these reforms in a timely fashion . Alex c. because he wants to win. Alex w. do you believe he needs to change in order to win . Alex c. we are going to test that proposition. We are about to find that out. Has one of he only two communicators on the whole campaign and they are doing humans work could i had wanted to step as last summer on the Rubio Campaign one or two staffers last summer on the Rubio Campaign and we were struggling. I can only imagine what trumps communicators are dealing with. Dan virtually no communication with the rnc. Continuing to say incredibly inflammatory things. Not to meeting with republican elected leaders. Not indicating with republican elected leaders. Everything he has done in this election and everything he has done in his career, he has had one speed. The idea that he will suddenly start looking and beheading president ial john as you pointed out, you were out front, never trump, ne vertrump. You are also pretty much dumptrump at this point. You are working behind the scenes to keep him from being the nominee of the party, correct . Dan there are a number of people brainstorming on whether or not we can capitalize right now i leave we are at a bit of an inflection point. Right now there is genuine concern among republicans, republican elected leaders, donors, and activists, and many delegates who are attending the convention by the way, it is directly correlated with trumps collapsing polymers. There is a relation between the tolerance of the insane things trump does and the way he behaves and good polymers. Now people are saying that this could be a real mess so there are discussions about whether or not he could be dislodged at the convention. Whether or not it will get together in the next couple weeks john or whether it will be as successful as reference in the never trump movement. [laughter] dan hey, come on john what percentage likelihood that trump will be the nominee . Dan oh, i would say 80plus percent. Alex c. these things reach a Tipping Point where having changes overnight. It is going to happen very quickly if it is going to happen. There will be a moment where the sport for him classes and the political universe looks very different. Six weeks from here to cleveland , that is a long, long time in president ial politics and a lot and change. Alex w. and yet you look at the numbers and general american approval for each party and republican numbers are not im sure where the party wanted to be, the approval numbers. Are there conversations happening in republican circles about november and what happens after november to the party alex c. i think people are still focused on november. I am old enough to remember in 1992 from one of the people running for president , he was a selffunded billionaire, and at this point he looked very viable to six weeks later he dropped out of the race. Ross perot. Alex w. do you think ross perot is an appropriate analog . Alex c. im just saying a lot can happen at the convention and between now and the convention. To show is on trump that he is capable of putting together a campaign that can be. Ompetitive fall john what donald trump with it to both of you is be quiet. [laughter] alex w. better than youre fired. Dan its not over john dan senor, alex conant, alex wagner, thank you, all three of you. Coming up, donald trump, a man of many words. You can listen to us on the regular radio, 99. 1 fm. We will be right back. As you will know, today is a huge milestone moment in the political world.
