- 1:59Speaker 1: David is Cheap Market strategists at amer Price Financial. He
- 2:02Speaker 1: says he's steering clear of the UK until that Brexit
- 2:06Speaker 1: vote gets sorted out. It seems to be a general
- 2:08Speaker 1: consensus or complacency, uh that the vote is going to
- 2:12Speaker 1: be to stay, and that is the impression I get.
- 2:16Speaker 1: I know, maybe some of the options market are saying
- 2:18Speaker 1: there's a little bit more concerned. Uh, but we've we've
- 2:22Speaker 1: kind of avoided the market and let it sort out.
- 2:25Speaker 1: I think there are enough opportunities elsewhere. Uh, you might
- 2:28Speaker 1: get a nice bounce if the vote is to stay.
- 2:31Speaker 1: But on the other hand, I think the risk is
- 2:33Speaker 1: there that's sufficient enough to cause us to want to
- 2:37Speaker 1: more or let's stay on the sideline and gold right
- 2:39Speaker 1: now down point one percent. Now, let's take a look
- 2:41Speaker 1: at some of the other stories making news. Thank you,
- 2:45Speaker 1: Charlie from the Blueberg news room. I'm Eric Shatzker. This

- 3:03Speaker 1: there's new pressure on Bernie Sanders today to exit the
- 3:05Speaker 1: race for the Democratic presidential nomination. According to the Associated Press,
- 3:10Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton has enough delegates to win the nomination. Voters
- 3:14Speaker 1: in six states, including California, are headed to the polls today.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Clinton plans to celebrate at a victory party in Brooklyn tonight.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan says, just because
- 3:24Speaker 1: he disagrees with comments by likely GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump,
- 3:29Speaker 1: he still feels his party has more in common with
- 3:32Speaker 1: Trump than with Hillary Clinton. I believe that we have
- 3:35Speaker 1: more common ground on the policy issues of the day,
- 3:37Speaker 1: and we have more likelihood of getting our policies enacted
- 3:40Speaker 1: with him than we do with her. But I do
- 3:43Speaker 1: absolutely disavow as comics. I think they're wrong. The head
- 3:46Speaker 1: of the Transportation Security Administration was grilled on Capitol Hill
- 3:50Speaker 1: today about the long lines of the nation's airports. Peter
- 3:53Speaker 1: Neffinger told a Senate panel the agency is making progress nationwide.

- 4:52Speaker 1: We're broadcasting live from Pershing's Inside Twenties sixteen conference at
- 4:56Speaker 1: the Higher Regency in Orlando. You know, this is the
- 4:59Speaker 1: eight teenth year marks eighteen years of insight, eighteen years
- 5:03Speaker 1: committed to the success of advisors. But over two thousand
- 5:07Speaker 1: financial professionals from all over the globe attending. And of course,
- 5:12Speaker 1: one of the topics of conversation is the US election.
- 5:15Speaker 1: And who better to tell us more than Margaret tullif our,
- 5:18Speaker 1: White House correspondent for Bloomberg News, joining us from Washington,
- 5:22Speaker 1: d C. You can follow Margaret on Twitter at Margaret
- 5:26Speaker 1: tullev and also at b Politics. All right, Margaret, tell
- 5:30Speaker 1: us about Hillary Clinton and her historic moment, the first
- 5:33Speaker 1: woman to earn the nomination of a major party in
- 5:37Speaker 1: the United States. It will be historic moment, and it
- 5:40Speaker 1: was supposed to happen tonight, probably some time around when
- 5:43Speaker 1: the polls closed in New Jersey. But the Associated pressident
- 5:46Speaker 1: delegate count sort of beat her just the punch, and
- 5:48Speaker 1: they came out a night early saying that according to
- 5:52Speaker 1: their account, she now had the numbers to cross that
- 5:55Speaker 1: magic threshold two thousand and eighty three delegates, a combination
- 5:59Speaker 1: of the Ledge delegates and the super delegates combined. Uh.
- 6:03Speaker 1: The qlin campaign has been really careful, uh to kind
- 6:05Speaker 1: of keep that a little bit at bay, kind of
- 6:07Speaker 1: pre celebrate but not really celebrate. Um. Partly, I think
- 6:10Speaker 1: they want that number to be free and clear, not
- 6:12Speaker 1: just you know, one or two over the line, but
- 6:15Speaker 1: but really firmly there. But the other part of this
- 6:17Speaker 1: is this complicated calculation not to offend or turn off
- 6:21Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders. They're trying to keep him in the fold
- 6:24Speaker 1: so that he uh, sooner than sooner than later is
- 6:28Speaker 1: ready to uh to abandon his campaign and embrace her,
- 6:31Speaker 1: and he's just not there yet. And the other part
- 6:33Speaker 1: of it, of course, is that she wants people in
- 6:35Speaker 1: those remaining six states to turn out and vote and
- 6:38Speaker 1: vote for her, so um, but she's on the cusp
- 6:41Speaker 1: of certainly a big historic moment, and it's showing signs
- 6:45Speaker 1: she and her advisers both being very excited about this,
- 6:48Speaker 1: but they're sort of containing it for the next few
- 6:50Speaker 1: hours at least. Of course, Margaret, she is going to
- 6:53Speaker 1: be the first woman in the United States to be
- 6:56Speaker 1: the presidential nominee of a major US political party on
- 7:00Speaker 1: state in the office. I wonder if it would be
- 7:03Speaker 1: more doramatic and exciting if so many people had not
- 7:06Speaker 1: assumed for some time now that, of course Hillary Clinton
- 7:10Speaker 1: would get the Democratic nomination, And only surprise here has
- 7:13Speaker 1: been how well Bernie Sanders has done and the fact
- 7:15Speaker 1: that he's holding out to try to get some of
- 7:17Speaker 1: those seven hundred super delicates over to his side. Yeah,
- 7:21Speaker 1: it's really true. Covering President Obama in two thousand eight,
- 7:24Speaker 1: you were constantly aware of the fact that he was
- 7:28Speaker 1: going to be the first African American nominee from a
- 7:32Speaker 1: major party and then the first African American UH president,
- 7:35Speaker 1: and yet he didn't campaign that way. Hillary Clinton has
- 7:37Speaker 1: sort of fluctuated between embracing her, you know, her gender
- 7:41Speaker 1: and her status as a grandmother. We're focusing on national security, um,
- 7:46Speaker 1: but look, but it is it's absolutely will be a
- 7:49Speaker 1: history making a moment. But because many people are like, yeah,
- 7:53Speaker 1: she was the first lady. Yeah, she was a senator. Yeah,
- 7:56Speaker 1: she was a Secretary State. Yeah. Booklyn's her husband a
- 8:00Speaker 1: sort of you know she is. She is in a
- 8:02Speaker 1: way would be a groundbreaker, and in a way is
- 8:05Speaker 1: represents because the core of the democratic establishment, the political
- 8:08Speaker 1: establishment in this country, and that has um that's made
- 8:11Speaker 1: it kind of sort of muddied the historical significance of
- 8:14Speaker 1: the moment. Margaret is Hillary Clinton running an establishment campaign.
- 8:19Speaker 1: And the reason I put it in that context is
- 8:21Speaker 1: I've been reading many articles about how the Republican potential
- 8:26Speaker 1: nominee or almost nominee at Donald Trump is running a
- 8:29Speaker 1: very unconventional campaign. Well, certainly she's running an establishment campaign,
- 8:34Speaker 1: and Bernie Sanders has forced her to, uh brought some
- 8:38Speaker 1: of her rhetoric and some of her policy positioning, you know,
- 8:41Speaker 1: a little bit to the left of where she started, uh,
- 8:44Speaker 1: talking about not just income equality, but being tough on
- 8:46Speaker 1: Wall Street and uh, you know, questioning international trade deals.
- 8:50Speaker 1: But when you put all of that aside, you're looking
- 8:53Speaker 1: at a candidate who is part of the core of
- 8:56Speaker 1: the establishment and and a staff from her campaign manager,
- 9:01Speaker 1: to her advisors, communications directors, all these sort of uh
- 9:04Speaker 1: the posters that are that are all absolutely locked in
- 9:07Speaker 1: the establishment and have have been working since the Bill
- 9:11Speaker 1: Clinton era. Uh. Some worked for Obama, some have worked
- 9:14Speaker 1: for um, you know, just a variety of establishment Democratic
- 9:19Speaker 1: political candidates. They're steaching the establishment and part of the
- 9:23Speaker 1: core of her message, even as she wants to suggest
- 9:26Speaker 1: that she's open to change and flexibility, Uh, is is
- 9:30Speaker 1: that Obama has done a good job that she wants
- 9:31Speaker 1: to continue as part of his legacy. Uh. That it's
- 9:34Speaker 1: great to talk about big ideas, but she really only
- 9:37Speaker 1: wants to focus on what can actually get done, the
- 9:39Speaker 1: sort of pragmatism and success by a thousand small steps.
- 9:44Speaker 1: This is part and parcel of her message and um
- 9:47Speaker 1: and absolutely represents an establishment candidacy. So, Margaret, you are
- 9:51Speaker 1: so close to the people in these campaigns within Hillary's camp.
- 9:56Speaker 1: What is the one thing her team says if only
- 9:59Speaker 1: they knew this about Hillary, if only they could see this,
- 10:01Speaker 1: she'd be even that much more popular. Uh. You know,
- 10:05Speaker 1: there's a couple of things that they say, but one
- 10:07Speaker 1: is uh that she One is sort of dislikability aspect,
- 10:11Speaker 1: which has been a challenge for her as a candidate,
- 10:14Speaker 1: which is, like, you know, did people like or do
- 10:16Speaker 1: they trust her? Do they enjoy listening to her speak?
- 10:18Speaker 1: And people who know her not just in the campaign
- 10:21Speaker 1: but outside the campaign say that she's much more personally
- 10:25Speaker 1: engaging and relaxed on a personal level than she is
- 10:29Speaker 1: when she's on a stage giving a big pronouncement. Um,
- 10:32Speaker 1: And this is something looks she's She's been to this
- 10:34Speaker 1: radio before she ran for president eight years ago. She
- 10:36Speaker 1: struggled then and has struggled this time to bring that
- 10:40Speaker 1: kind of intimate or relaxed or personal approach to bear
- 10:43Speaker 1: on the campaign stage. Okay, she's mostly decided that to
- 10:47Speaker 1: sustick to the issues this time around. Margaret Tella, thank
- 10:50Speaker 1: you so very much. Our White House correspondent from Bloomberg News,
