  Speaker 1: shake up poor tens, a political fight that could drag
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: out every Clinton family drama, tabloid scandal, and conspiracy theory

  Speaker 1: of the past decades. So rights are Bloomberg car colleague
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Market toll Off. She's our White House correspondent based in Washington,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: d C. So Washington teen d C. Of course, is
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: as everyone's wondering what's going to happen now with Donald
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Trump changing his team a bit and bringing on they
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: had a bright Bart news. Uh what do you make
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: of it, Margaret, Well, it was funny talking with the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Clinton campaign yesterday and watching her address, you know, her
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: first audience after the news of this. What they seem
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to be making it of it is some combination of
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: not very much in terms of a change in their
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: own course or the potential for a couple of new
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: lines of attack against Donald Trump. Now you can say
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: that's been and they're possibly terrified of what the abandoned
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: might on weast saw in America. But but what they
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: have been saying, um, is that what they always anticipated
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it once it became clear that Donald Trump as the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: person they were going to be running against, was very
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: nasty attacks, sort of have blood style stuff, things about
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Bill Clinton's past, the dramas from the White House years,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff. So um, and then there
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: was a sort of brief rest. But over the summer
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: with the rise of Paul Manafort. Listen, the Trump campaign
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: where the question was is, man, if we're going to
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: tamp down on all of that and try to run
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a more conventional campaign that will appeal to more centrist Republicans. Uh,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: he kept trying, Trump kept resisting and sort of slipping
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: back into kind of gut instinct Trump and now with
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: what is being perceived as kind of a sidelining of
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Manafort and a rise of Bannon, Kelly and Conway. Um,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the idea that that kind of experiment with uh, while modulating,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: influences over and it reverts back to Plan A, which
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: is what they had planned for. So they heard to
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: be taken at their word. And there's no reason for
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the Clinton campaign to change course because it'll be the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: same campaign that they thought they would be running to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: begin with. Margaret, I understand that these people are obviously
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: working for the campaign, Kelly and Conway and Stephen Bannon.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Do any of them have any history of public service. Well,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: of course, it depends entirely on how you define public service.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: But if you if part of the way you define
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: public services, to talk about polling is to talk about
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: movement conservatives. No, I mean public service, like public service,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: like either working for the government or some kind of
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: public service that is not involved in celebrity or high
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: profile media. It's about their experience is essentially around organizing
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Republican movements, whether it's mainstream movement or conservative movement and um.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And Trump's argument has been and will continue to be
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: that he's not a conventional politician and he shouldn't try
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to run a campaign that's divine defined by conventional politics.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: That if he's elected, wants it's time to govern. That's
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: when you bring in the people with the governance expertise.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: But that when you're running a campaign and it's about ideas, personality,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: got instinct, and that this is the team that reflects
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: has got instinct. Yeah, it's interesting how the uh, you know,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Roger Ailes is now said to have taken on a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: more active advisory role since he was ousted from his
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: job at Fox News. He uh, the timing perfect for
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump in some sense because Ales has been so
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: strategic about you know, political issues, about about celebrities, about
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: so many things that he's put together at Fox News. Yeah.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: The question for Trump has been and is going to
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: continue to be with some of these shifts and the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: kind of reconstitution or reshaping, rhetorical reshaping of his team.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Is his real challenge one of kind of organization and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: message consistency, or is his real challenge to be able
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: to move beyond that part of the Republican base and
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: into more of a center, if not a crossover camp.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: So when you kind of draw a circle around all
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: of these folks, around Steve Bannon, around Kelly and Conway,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: around Roger Ailes, um, do you don't traditionally think of
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: any of these people in terms of having uh a
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: record of reaching across partisan aisles or or even specializing
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: in the center. In fact, in the case of Um,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: sort of bright Bart's recent history UM more more of
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: an effort to uh kind of push John Banner out
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: the door as House speaker, to be critical of mainstream Republicans. Now,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: what Trump may pick up on the flip side from
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: all of these folks is knowing how to run a campaign,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: knowing how to get the most out of a candidate,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: knowing how to stay disciplined on message, on focus, to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: kind of see your window. That's what he's hoping. What
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the Clinton campaign is hoping is kind of coming from
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the opposite end um of the spectrum, which is to say,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: does UH does that consolidate Trump's strength entirely in the basement?
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Does it give them UM an opportunity to drive a
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: wedge into the Republican Party to further that wedge that
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: isolates Trump from mainstream or publicans. Can they turn around
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and pick up some of those books, uh? And can
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: they use it to um cospire more turnout or activism
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: on the Democratic side. Thank you very much. Margaret tolif
