• 4:49
  Speaker 1: You're listening to taking stock with pim Box and Kathleen
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: As on Bloomberg Radio. Donald Trump's swipe at the heartbroken
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: parents of a Muslim American war hero, kill Ton Rock
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: has certainly been dominating the headlines the last few days,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: but perhaps not in the way Mr Trump would have liked. Uh.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: We can see clear signs now that some Republicans in
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Congress are distancing themselves from Donald Trump. As New York
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Representative Richard Hannah became the first Republican member of Congress
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to officially back presidential Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, saying
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Mr Trump, he is unfit to serve our party and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: cannot lead this country. Well, a man who has been
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: tracking this very closely, day in and day out, Mark
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Halpern is with us host of with all due respect,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: which you can see weeknights at five piano on Bloomberg
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: TV and you can also catch it on bloom in Washington,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: d C. Mark, welcome back, great great tiving in studio's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: so really here, my friend, Well, I'm wearing shorts and sandals.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Well I'm anyway, Philadelphia was hot, so I'm sure you
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: needed shorts and sandals when you're covering the Democratic Convention. Uh,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and let's start with the controversy. Uh, where
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: do we stand? It's uh? His some of us most
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: art and supporters don't seem to be faced. Well, he
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: hasn't talked about it on his own last couple of
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: days when he's dealt with the media, and the media
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: is still asking about it. The cons have not as
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: far as I never done any press today. But you
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: still have people reacting. Chris Christie, Who's been one of
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Trump's biggest backers, came out today and, while not directly
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: repudiating Trump, explicitly Um made it clear that he wouldn't
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: have talked about the cons the way Trump did, So
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: you still have, I think a fair amount of interests
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: in the media in getting Republicans to react, particularly on camera,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And you still haven't had Trump given the kind of
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: full throaded apology explanation that a lot of people want
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: to have. So it's not dominating the way it did yesterday,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: but it's certainly still a big story out there that
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: has other shoes to drop on ARC talking about other
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: shoes to drop on them, wondering if you could characterize
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the inner workings of the Trump campaign, who's left, who
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: got fired, who's running it, and what you expect to happen. Well,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: some relatively middle level I would say officials, not particularly
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: well known folks were let go. We're told um sampaign
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: saws a lot of growing to do. But most Republicans
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: believe two things inside and outside the campaign. One is
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that whether the campaign gets twice as large or three
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: times as large as as it as it is now,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: it's never gonna be nearly the size of the Clinton operation.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: And if Trump has a chance to win, it's gonna
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: have to be in an unorthodox way. And the other
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: is the problems that the Trump campaign has has now
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: has now is the problems are big, but the candidate
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: is the biggest problem. And until the candidate delivers a
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: more consistent message more about Hillary Clinton's problems in the economy,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: less about picking fights with gold star families, it doesn't
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: really matter who's working for the campaign or who's not.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: And of course, the poll I think it came out
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: maybe even during your show last night, Mark that the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: late's what CNN poll showed that Hillary Clinton has a
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: nine point lead now over Donald Trump. We can certainly
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: say post convention bounce, but we might also say postcn
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: controversy bounce. You just said if Donald Trump apologizes, uh,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: any indications him inside the campaign that is, he looks
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: into the final three months of the campaign and thinks,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: what can I do. I gotta step up. I've got
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to maybe make an apology, because that's one of the
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: things that seemed to help him earlier in the campaign
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: when he said things and didn't back down. This may
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: be different. Everyone I've talked to who's in touch with
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: him says he's got no interest in apologizing. He feels
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: like he was attacked. And remember during the nomination season,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: he said, I'm a counterpuncher. I don't go negative unless
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I'm attacked. There's no doubt from a just chronological point
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: of view that the cons initiated this. But continue to
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: search my memory banks for all the campaigns I've covered
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: for anything like this, for anything like a candidate pursuing extending,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: inflaming a conflict with the gold Star family was just
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: such sympathy and where almost no one in his party
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: is even halfheartedly defending what he said, Mark, turn your
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: attention out of Senate racist because we've got swing states,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: and also the Senate is going to be up for grabs.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders going to come out and stump for Democratic
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: senators looking to go to Washington. He is in his
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: capacity to turn out younger voters, I think will be
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: very welcome, particularly take a place like New Hampshire, where
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: there's a very competitive Senate race of Republican incumbent Kellyott
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: against the governor, Maggie Hassan. The western part of the state,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the coastal part of the state, has lots of young
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: people that the two big college towns, and so I
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: think you'll see him very much in demand to come
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: in to raise money to extent he's willing to do that.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: He's been kind of hesitant to say, oh how Hillary
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Clint raise money, but if he was want to out
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the Senate candidate, that would be a big lift as
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: well as campaigning, particularly again in places like more liberal
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: areas in college towns. Tonight, I was all due respect
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: who we're going to see and here uh two of
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the best political analysts in America, John Dickerson of CBS
• 10:13

• 10:19
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of pulling out this week, and all
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: of it has shown pretty much the same thing. Hillary
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Clinton and enjoying a bounce in a lead. Now we're
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: going to break down below the number of the margin
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: of the lead five to seven points. Where did that?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Where did she improve? How did she pick up more voters?
